Chapter 360: Matters within the clan
In the camp of the city guards in Yitian City, Meng Huan Chilong had not entered, but when he passed by the funeral last night, he took a slight look, but he didn't care. But now it was different, he wanted to build a camp for the people's army, so he looked carefully at the barracks and found that the barracks were indeed different from the people's houses.
Not to mention the guards at the gate of the camp, and the sentry towers erected around it, can tell you that this is a heavily guarded barracks. Moreover, the barracks occupy a huge area, because the whole camp is built on the mountain, and beyond the wall, you can see that on the hill, rows of brick and wood barracks have been built.
With some curiosity, he slowed down his pace outside the barracks gate, looked inside, and found that the hill on which the barracks were built was actually a hill not too big, and at the foot of the hill there was a large school yard, which could hold about fifty or sixty thousand people. There is also a platform set up next to the school field, which should be commonly known as the Dianjiang platform.
Not far from that point, there were several bluestone bungalows, which he thought should be a storehouse or a place for deliberations, or at least he saw the place where the mountain beasts were kept in captivity, because the place was easy to distinguish, and a group of horned tiger beasts were tied there.
The first time he took a closer look at the barracks, he wanted to take a good look at them so that he could prepare for his own barracks. It's just that he is holding the bones of the old patriarch in his hands, and there are many relatives of the deceased behind him, all holding the ashes of their families, and he can only follow the team all the way forward, because the whole funeral is not over yet.
When they returned to the Lei Chamber of Commerce, the number of people behind them had been reduced by half, and the relatives of those soldiers who died in the battle had all returned to their homes.
From a distance, they saw that the main entrance of the Lei Chamber of Commerce was very lively, some people were putting up lights on the door, and some people were coming in and out, and they didn't know what they were busy with.
Seeing this, he stopped at the side door of the Lei Chamber of Commerce, because the side door was now closed. Meng Huan Dapeng understood this rule very well, and immediately ran over and said a few words to a person who was directing people to do things at the door, and looked like a shopkeeper.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper entered the door, and after a while, Lei Mu came out of the door.
"Red Dragon, it's okay, let the old man go from the main gate, they are the heroes of the Wu Clan, they will only bless us Wu people, not to mention that we set up a people's army and a divine array gate here, but also to avenge them and fulfill their last wishes. If the old man knew, he would bless us. After Lei Mu said that, he personally led the way in front.
Meng Huan Chilong nodded, holding the skeleton and continuing to walk forward. He originally stopped, afraid that someone would pay attention to it, saying that he was rushing to his family's happy event, and he must know that the listing of the "Divine Array Gate" is Lei Mu's lifelong wish. Now that Lei Mu himself doesn't care, he naturally has to go through the main gate, which is also a respect for the old patriarch.
The Zhuang Ding, who were busy at the door, saw Meng Huan Chilong and them coming, they all quieted down, stood silently aside, looked at the bones that were held in their hands, and saluted very carefully. They know that it is the bones of the dead, carrying the soul of the dead, and this must be respected.
Before this, Menghuan Chilong had already agreed with Lei Mu that the bones of the Menghuan Cottage clan would be temporarily stored in the Lei clan's ancestral hall for preservation, and when this war was over, they would move the clansmen back to the clan cemetery.
When Meng Huan Chilong walked into the Lei ancestral hall, he found that the entire second floor had been vacated, and the newly made shelves and incense cases were put on, and at a glance, he knew that it had been made overnight.
Meng Huan Chilong glanced at Lei Mu gratefully, put the bones of the patriarch in the middle, and after the others had placed the bones of the clansmen, he gave incense and saluted each of the dead, and the whole funeral was over.
When the other clansmen were offering incense to the deceased, he stared at the bones of the old patriarch for a while, and said loudly: "Patriarch, don't worry, I swear to you that I will definitely drive away the people of the upright dynasty and bring you back to the cottage, and I will definitely rebuild the Menghuan village and make the Menghuan tribe strong, please believe me." Then he turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.
At the door of the ancestral hall, he stopped and looked up at the sky, the sun was already shining down in the sky, making his body feel warm, but he knew that his heart was cold, only killing intent.
He narrowed his eyes, looked at the sunlight for a while, and then turned his head to the people behind him: "You go with me to see the clan elders, arrange the affairs of the clan, and start to form a people's army, and deal with the people of the righteous dynasty wholeheartedly." ”
A few people answered, and then returned to the clan's station in the Lei Chamber of Commerce. As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Meng Huanhuo sitting on a chair, as if basking in the sun, but his eyes were looking at the courtyard door, actually waiting for their arrival.
As soon as he saw them come in, he asked, "Have you arranged the patriarch?"
Menghuan Chilong nodded and said, "It's arranged, when the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty are defeated, it is time to rebuild Menghuan Cottage, and then we will take them back to the cottage." ”
Meng Huanhuo sighed and said, "It's good that you can think like this, but what are you going to do later?"
"Clan Elder, I'm here to discuss with you about the affairs of the clan. These people live here temporarily, after all, they are a family, there are many things to do, and there are old and weak women and children to take care of, it turns out that the deacons are not there, I want to select a few people to temporarily do things for the clan, so that the clan can settle down. ”
Meng Huanhuo nodded and said, "I'm also thinking about this, you young and strong, you will definitely go to the city wall to fight, so these clansmen must also be taken care of." ”
Knowing that the clan elder had the same thoughts as himself, he asked, "Then I wonder if you have a candidate for this in your heart?"
Meng Huanhuo said softly: "I think Dapeng should be counted as one, he turned out to be in charge, he has experience in this area, this funeral was done well in a short period of time, he is a capable person, not to mention that the clan was originally going to make him a deacon." ”
For the Menghuan people, the structure of a village is the patriarch, the elder, the deacon, and the steward. The patriarch is in charge of the entire village, and the clan elders do not care about things, but they can have a say when making major decisions. A deacon is a person who is in charge of a certain aspect of the affairs of the stockade and can make decisions and then report to the patriarch. Stewards are specific to work, so each deacon has several stewards under him.
Meng Huan Chilong heard the clan elder say this, without hesitation, nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Dapeng is one." Now we are in the city, and there are not many people, but there is a lot to do, and one deacon is certainly not enough. I want to set two first, one is responsible for the life of the clan, and the other is dealing with outsiders, living in the city, you must trade with the people in the city, but the people in the mountains are honest, and I am afraid that I will suffer a loss when dealing with the people in the city. ”
Meng Huanhuo nodded and said, "You are right, there are at least two deacons, one inside the main and one outside the main body, but there is really no one in our village who is good at dealing with outsiders." ”
Hearing what they said, Meng Huan Tieying rolled his eyes and said: "Patriarch, patriarch, if you want to say that you are good at dealing with outsiders, I really think of such a person, and now he is also in the city, but I don't know if it is suitable or not." ”
Meng Huan Chilong looked at him and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
"You have forgotten Uncle Bai Python! Although he is timid, every time he enters the city, the old patriarch asks him to come by name, he can speak well and calculate, and because of this, he has a bad reputation in the village. But now, we need such people. ”
Meng Huanhuo still nodded, and said: "Yes, the white python is a candidate to do this, although he is a little timid, he has no temper, he just likes to be a little small, but in the city, he really has to have some ability to calculate, I think as long as he doesn't count the cottage." ”
Meng Huan Chilong said decisively: "It's him, as long as he is willing to contribute to the clan, it is not a problem to like to calculate, maybe dealing with others is an advantage, at least it will not make us suffer." ”
Several people listened to it and smiled slightly.
The patriarch also laughed and said, "Then let the two of them do it first, anyway, this deacon is temporary, if you want to do it, it will be them when the village is built." It's just that there are deacons, so what about the stewards?"
Meng Huan Chilong thought for a moment and said, "Let the steward choose the deacon, let the clansmen sign up by themselves, and the deacon will decide." It's just that we want to set up a people's army in Yitian City, and I will take away the prime of life in the clan, and these old people in this clan will take care of themselves. ”
Meng Huanhuo glanced at him and said: "Then it's decided, there is no need to fight with people in this city, we old guys can't take care of ourselves anymore, the affairs of the clan are like this, and when we settle down in the future, we will restore everything." At that time, we will have to increase the elders and deacons of the clan, and we will have to have the soldiers of the clan, and we will choose the people who will lead the troops. ”
The clan soldiers mentioned by the fire lion are unique to the mountains and forests, and the private soldiers of the family are different, because all the ethnic groups and villages in the mountains and forests will fight for some things, so they have a group of their own weapons, these weapons are their own people, usually ordinary hunters, only when there is something, they will stand up and contribute to the protection of the village.
Meng Huan Chilong was in high spirits, and said loudly: "Clan Elder, you can rest assured of this, then our village will only be the best village in the mountains and forests, and now we have exercises to improve witchcraft, and when the time comes, are you afraid that you won't be able to do others?"
The Tiger is the most interested in this topic. immediately took over and said: "I love to hear the patriarch's words, our village has an old patriarch and Wu Gong, who are already powerful, and now with this exercise, it is equivalent to a tiger with wings, and no one will be afraid when they meet." ”
Meng Huanhuo also laughed in the sun, patted the arm of the chair with one hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll just wait for that day." ”
When Menghuan Mountain Tiger was about to say something, Menghuan Iron Eagle grabbed him and glanced at him sideways, not letting him speak again, which made Menghuanshan Tiger a little inexplicable and didn't understand why.
At this time, Meng Huan Red Dragon spoke again. "Patriarch, I have sworn in front of the old patriarch just now, I will definitely make the village strong. I can swear to you now, too. ”
Meng Huanhuo hurriedly said: "No, no, I know that you are a good boy and have this ability, otherwise the patriarch will not hand over our clan to you." ”
It was also at this time that Meng Huanshan Hu realized that he had indeed talked too much, so he retreated behind everyone.
Meng Huan Chilong thought for a moment, and then said: "Clan Elder, I'm afraid that I can't take care of the affairs within the clan now, I have to build a people's army and defend the city these days." The things I just said have to be settled today, and these days, I also ask the clan elders to worry more about the affairs within the clan. Especially those children, they should step up their cultivation of witchcraft, as long as they reach the fifth level of witchcraft, they can practice exercises and give weapons. ”
