When Mu Ma heard this, his heart trembled suddenly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

That night, he couldn't sleep.

These words are like a poisonous snake, devouring the concept of hard work to create happiness instilled by Chen Jian before.

However, after several years of indoctrination, Jian Chen's thoughts were connected with Mu Ma's heart, and it was inevitable that there was some heartache when he devoured it, and the two thoughts in his heart were constantly struggling.

Late at night, Mu Ma finally couldn't help it, kicked open the door of the neighbor's house, and gathered fifty families within a mile.

"My mind is in turmoil. What about you? ”

Several people were silent, and eventually someone broke the silence.

"We used to work because we didn't have anything. Now that we have land and workshops, why do we have to work? How nice it would be to take care of a few slaves like those relatives in other cities, and let them do what we have to do. ”

"Yes, just like we farm, if we have fifty slaves, we can lie down and not work. Everything. ”

"The relatives of the people in the city had a good time, tsk, where can we compare?"

"Other cities are like this, but not our summer city."

"If it's true that our dozen or so clans are counted as Xia Cheng people, it's actually good that there are so many slaves left to do things for us. I've been having such doubts for the past two years, but Ji Xia is in Yucheng again, and no one has explained to us. ”

"Maybe Ji Xia really did something wrong this time?"

Mu Ma frowned, listened to everyone's discussion, sighed and said, "I don't know either." But there is one thing I think Ji Xia is right, everything is made with both hands, let's stop working, and the total things in the city are still missing......"

Such doubts are not something that Mu Ma can understand, and when he is confused, there is no one to explain the doubts in his heart to them, and his thoughts are becoming more and more confused.

As for the next day, the last words of Muma last night became meaningless.

One of the nobles of the council gave this explanation in the face of casma's doubts about the overall level of production in the city.

"Ji Xia always said that the city belongs to all the people, but our city is so rich, why is our life not as good as those in the rest of the city?"

"Yes, those people work with us, and there are more products in the city, but there are also more people. The city is rich, but we are still the same. If we don't work and let the slaves work, the total production is indeed less, but we get more. ”

Ji Xia said that the development of the city is to make everyone's life better, isn't this the easiest way to make everyone's life better? What is the use of a city so rich? The public workshops are there, but how much do we get? Where did all the public property go? ”

"Ji Xia promised to make the people of the country live better and better, and it is indeed getting better and better, but it is too slow. What we promise is that the people of the country can live a very good life without working within a year, and this is really for the sake of the city and the people. ”

"Think about it, so much public land, so many public slaves, if you divide each real Xia Cheng person, you can get at least one or two or even more, all you have to do is to wave the whip, but you don't need to hold the ploughshare and be tanned by the sun under the bite of the gadfly mosquito!"

"Those mines, salt ponds, etc., which are strictly controlled by Ji Xia and do not allow the clansmen to operate privately, can be released. It is said that it is public property, but how much do we get from this public property? If Ji Xia doesn't go to build Yucheng...... Well, of course, iron tools are good, but if all the workers are slaves, and all the iron tools are brought back, we can just lie down and let the rest of the cities bring food and money. ”

"But what? But Ji Xia lied to you and said that labor is glorious, bullshit! Ji Xia wants to be the leader of the tribes, but what do you get? ”

"If you want me to say, Ji Xia did not betray the Great River Tribes, but betrayed our real Xia City people, are you right?"

The previous one was okay, Mu Ma nodded again and again, but after the last sentence was said, a group of people said angrily: "Don't say bad things about Ji Xia!" ”

But that's all there is to it, almost no one refutes these words, they are all thinking about it. Chen Jian's descendants and outstanding talents who agreed with Chen Jian's ideology either left Xia Cheng for the fiefdom of wolf skin, or were far away in Yucheng, and the confusion of thought quickly spread in Xia Cheng like a plague.

It's a great idea, a great slogan, a great first step.

There are not too many slave owners in Xia City, most of them are class gaps deliberately created by Jian Chen to understand the cohesion of the clan, but there are not a few people who aspire to become slave owners.

In recent years, their life has been quite good, and the promotion of new technologies such as public welfare and water conservancy projects and manure completed under strict control has ensured the living standards of the people of Xiacheng.

There is no vertical comparison of this standard of living, but a horizontal comparison, and some people feel that their standard of living is not the best in the rest of the cities, and who will keep their eyes on the poor at the bottom, of course, hoping that the slave owners in the rest of the cities will have a good life, and they will have food and clothing without having to work.

And those who are now really in control of Xia Cheng also have a lot of power in Xia City, they look forward to hereditary, recommendation and other systems, and they hate this kind of life where everyone starts on an equal footing.

Gaining the support of Xia Cheng's core forces by narrowing the vested interests is a good move, the essence of populism.

As for the future, of course, they couldn't really let all Xia Cheng share those public properties equally, but the first step was not to show their fangs - as Chen Jian judged, they risked their lives to run back to Xia City to serve the people.

After the tone was set, more and more city gatherings continued, cracks appeared in the originally harmonious Xia City, clans and things that had disappeared reappeared, and some of those who joined Xia City later began to panic.

The originally shattered clan was reunited under this deliberate provocation and estrangement. There are fifty households in one mile, and there are all kinds of clans, but now there is distrust of each other. The contradiction between the old Xia City and the new Xia City people is becoming more and more serious, even if Mu Ma is so kind, it is difficult to reconcile.

It has been clearly stated that the people of Xinxia City will be slaves again, so the people of Xinxia City will inevitably be uneasy and angry, the anger between the two sides is difficult to suppress, and the conflicts between each other are increasing day by day, but this is just a slogan and has not been put into practice.

However, things like clans and clans seem to have been resurrected overnight.

The 10th day of June...... Mu Ma recalled this day, and was very sure of this day, because it was the first day of June, Mu Ma wanted to go to the grass river to bathe, but the woman told him to let him grind the wheat into flour, because the city was a little chaotic these days, and the supply and marketing cooperatives were closed and no one cared about, so he couldn't buy flour.

Muma remembers carrying a sack of wheat to the wind-powered mill to line up, and it was rare to wait in line for such a long time after selling and rationing wheat flour from the supply and marketing cooperative.

He couldn't remember what had happened in front of him, whether someone cut the line or someone was joking or someone really said something nasty, and anyway, the fight started.

"Brothers, he bullied the people of our clan!"

"Die! People with foreign surnames! ”

"Stone him! Throw him into the river! They deserve to be slaves! ”

"Fart! Xia Cheng also has our blood and sweat, why should we be slaves? ”

"Oops! I've used a bronze sword! Kill ......"

Mu Ma thought that he was a priest, and had the duty of disciplining his relatives, and he was more or less an official, so he should always say a few fair words - no one dared to stir up hatred between clans in the past, and he would be punished with whipping and a fine. Now the whole city is in chaos, and no one cares about it.

When he squeezed over with his strong body, he saw a clansman surnamed Mu being knocked to the ground by a punch from a person with a foreign surname, and he couldn't help but be angry, rushed over and hit that person's lifeline with his knee.

Then there was a whistle, as if someone had prepared for it, and a group of men with swords, spears, and the like that had been used to kill their heads in the previous brawls appeared beside the mill, and then someone shouted: "Let these men be slaves!" Don't stand with us! ”

"Let them lie on the ground! Kill them! They deserve to be slaves! Ji Xia kindly gave you the identity of people, but you don't know humility. ”

"People with foreign surnames deserve to die!"

Mu Ma couldn't remember who made the move first, and he didn't think that a trivial matter of cutting in line was worthy of such a serious evaluation, but at that time, someone had already done it, and when he was shouted by these people, his blood was rushed, and his brain was suddenly confused.

Anyway, more than 20 people from the New Xia City died that day, and seven or eight people from the old Xia City died here, and then the people in the council made a speech, calling on the real Xia City people to take up arms to let them know that they were powerful, and smashed the more than 20 dead bodies to pieces.

The old and new countrymen of Xia City quickly armed themselves, and with the last restraint, they did not burn each other's houses...... But the house was still set on fire by some people, and afterwards Mu Ma didn't know who set the house on fire, and burned several children to death by the way, and when the blackened baby was pulled out of the ash heap, the anger of both sides could no longer be contained.

In short, things reached the point of being uncontrollable, and the two sides fought in the city, and after paying the price of more than a hundred dead and wounded, all the people of Xinxia City were arrested and disarmed.

The council immediately announced that all the people with foreign surnames would confiscate their land and property and distribute them to the people of Lao Xia City.

For a while, the people of Old Xia City cheered, celebrating this victory that should not have existed, and recalled the symbol of the clan, which had been deliberately suppressed by Jian Chen for several years, in their minds.

The clan leaders who had lost their power regained their authority overnight, the Ris system completely collapsed, the distrust between the old and new Xiacheng people was deliberately magnified, the first few to do it were secretly rewarded, and the family that proposed the plan to burn the baby was secretly promised half of the salt pans.

At least in June, the brave and cowardly people of Xiacheng were gone, replaced by groups of fanatics who listened every day to the slogan that the clan is the real family, that the clan can really be good to you, and that we should be human masters and make them slaves.

And in this frenzy, the relatives and nobles of the council decisively poured a scoop of cold water, a scoop of cold water that made everyone sweat coldly.

"Once Ji Xia returns, what kind of culpability is the clan fight? Whoever does it will be punished, and so many people will die, and I am afraid that the corpses of many people will be hung on the city wall. How terrible. ”
