Chapter 140
This matter is not big, but it is not small.According to the initial information transmitted by Liu Ji, there was a conflict between two groups of people, which eventually resulted in a large-scale fighting with many casualties.

When Jiang Chuan heard the news, he thought it was a slap in the face.

He and Liu Ji had just promulgated the first batch of laws governing the people, and one of them was: "Fighting among the people is strictly prohibited, and anyone who violates the order will be beheaded."

I didn't expect that someone would jump out and defy the law so soon, and there were dozens or even hundreds of people. This is definitely a slap in the face of Mr. Jiang, and it's the kind of swollen and slapped hard. If he can still To hell with holding your breath.

Jiang Chuan was actually prepared for various problems that would arise internally.Not to mention that in ancient times when the legal system was so rough and simple, even in modern society with a sound legal system, there would not occasionally be some large-scale group resistance against the law.

Moreover, these people under his command are all border residents, many of whom are from Orion origin. In addition, in the environment of frequent fighting and killing in the deep border, the atmosphere of bravery and ruthlessness is very strong.

In addition, Jiang Chuan's primary purpose of recruiting these people is to increase the total population for his continuous expansion of the army, so basically he will not refuse anyone who comes, as long as you are willing to come, I am willing to accept, so the composition of the people in the valley is complicated, good and bad are mixed, Everyone has it.

Among them are the kind and law-abiding common people, of course there are also the kind of brave, selfish and arrogant people, not to mention all kinds of people who steal, rape and play tricks.The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Therefore, expecting these 2 people to love each other and live in harmony, hello, hello, hello, everyone, is a fantasy, and it is impossible.

So Jiang Chuan was mentally prepared, and the magic blade in his hand was already prepared, ready to deal with those who dared to try the law at any time.

But he didn't expect someone to jump out so soon, and there were so many people, which made him quickly hold back a strong anger, which could turn into murderous aura if it was not good.

For killing people, especially those who should be killed, Jiang Chuan now has no psychological burden.In troubled times, you should use heavy codes. Your own sword is not only sharp when facing the enemy, but also absolutely incapable of cutting the blade against those who dare to despise the law and ignore his rivers and rivers.

When Jiang Chuan rushed to the scene with his people, the situation was already under control.The yamen servants of the Department of Civil Affairs and soldiers patrolling the city tied up hundreds of people involved in this incident and pressed them to the ground. Dozens of corpses and some sticks and agricultural tools were lying on the ground not far away, many of which were still bloodstained.A lot of food was poured on the ground.

Many people around were watching, and many of them glared at each other, provocative.

Liu Ji's face was as dark as ink, and he stood in the open space among the crowd, with a few guards behind him and their weapons out of their scabbards, staring at those surrounding people with vigilance in their eyes,

The whole scene presents a depressing tranquility, only the groans from some wounded from time to time remind people what just happened here.

Liu Ji felt both anger and shame at the moment.The lord entrusted him with the full power of civil affairs, and he himself was full of confidence, promising to the lord that there would be no problems.

However, he did not expect so many people to openly disobey the law just a few days after the promulgation of the first batch of civil laws, openly fought with weapons, and killed and injured many people. It's because I feel ashamed of the lord, and there is both resentment and guilt in my heart.

Looking at those perpetrators who were tied up and knelt on the ground but still had a fierce look on their faces, a killing intent suddenly rose in his heart, and he wished that all these people would be executed on the spot.

Hearing footsteps, Liu Ji turned his head to see that Jiang Chuan was coming, and hurried over to see him.

"Liu Ji is ashamed of his trust in the lord, please punish the lord!" Liu Ji bowed deeply at the first meeting, with a look of guilt and self-blame on his face.

"Military division, there is no need to be like this. What does it have to do with you if the people commit crimes and disobey the law? Stand up and speak." Jiang Chuan helped Liu Ji up.

"My lord loves you so much, Liu Ji is very ashamed." Liu Ji stood up, his face still full of shame.

Through the cooperation between the two of them during this period, Jiang Chuan knew that Liu Ji was a very ambitious person and had a strong sense of responsibility for his work, so he must feel bad when something like this happened.

"Military division, what's going on?" Jiang Chuan comforted Liu Ji a few words, and then asked after seeing that his face had improved a lot.

Liu Ji quickly told what happened, and also shared some other information he had.

As mentioned above, Jiang Chuan now has more than 2 people under his rule. The composition is complex, and there are everyone.

The party who started the fight this time was a relatively special group of people.

Not all the border residents on the border of Ming Dynasty were Ming people, and a considerable part of them were naturalized people.What is naturalized common people? Simply put, it means that people of other races were gradually assimilated into Ming people after several generations.

Before the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many lands bordering the Ming Dynasty were still the territory of the Mongols. Mongolia was a nomadic people with many horses and sheep, while the Ming Dynasty had a vast land and abundant resources, but lacked horses.

To live, Mongolians need salt, iron, tea and other daily necessities.The upper-class aristocrats also like all kinds of exquisite silks from Daming, and these things cannot be produced in Mongolia, so they need to get them from Daming, so they ask to trade with Daming.That is to say, the two sides open a trade relationship, and everyone does business with each other.The Mongols traded their horses and furs for things like salt, iron, silk, and porcelain.

Originally, this looked pretty good, everyone got what they needed.It's just that salt and iron have been the military weapons that the Central Plains dynasty strictly controlled since ancient times. In fashionable terms, they are national strategic resources.

Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has always regarded salt and iron as a weapon to deal with and restrict the nomadic peoples in the north, so of course they are unwilling to exchange it with the Mongols.

The Mongols had no access to salt and iron, and without salt to eat, they would not even have the strength to ride a war horse or draw a bow.Without iron, it is impossible to forge a sharp machete, so he went to war with Daming.

After many battles between the two sides, there were countless casualties, but Ming could not destroy Mongolia, and Mongolia could not take much advantage of Ming, so in the end everyone sat down and talked, and the result of the talk was of course that the two sides traded on the border and set up a two-way transaction market.

This kind of market is called a border market.After the Bianshi was born, there were many people who relied on the Bianshi to make a living, including both Ming people and Mongolians.These Mongols began to change from herdsmen to businessmen, and some of them acted as brokers in the border market, that is, middlemen, helping both parties in need to negotiate business and cooperation.There are also some people who open shops in the border market, some open teahouses, some open restaurants, and some open fur shops.

Slowly, many Mongolians completed the transition from herdsmen to merchants and completed the primitive accumulation of capital.After having the first pot of gold, many Mongolians also followed the rich people of Ming Dynasty to buy land and gradually became landlords.

After becoming a landlord, tenants are naturally needed to farm the land, so they also began to hire some Mongolians to farm for themselves.

After a few generations, these Mongolians became half farmers and half herdsmen. Because they had been dealing with Ming people for a long time, they looked very similar to Ming people in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The court of the Ming Dynasty included these people in the household registration, so these people became the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, so they were called naturalized people.

A few generations later, although these naturalized Mongolians no longer live as nomads, the sturdy and wild genes of the nomads still exist in their bones.

The Manchu Qing army rose suddenly, and after the latecomers took over, they often went south to fight in the grass valley. These naturalized Mongols also suffered greatly from it, so they also entered the Erlong Valley together to seek shelter under Jiang Chuan's gathering.

And this time the party who provoked the fight was a group of naturalized Mongolians.

 The first update arrives.The update is over, I can't sleep every night these days, and I don't have energy during the day, so I dragged it until night, I hope everyone will forgive me.The only thing that remains the same is that there are still three shifts every day.There are two more.
