From Chief to Ball

If this person was here, these stables would have been completed by now, but they are still far from the number set before Yu Qianer left; the same is true for mowing the grass, and the land is about to be plowed.

Because they have been lost, they can know the value and importance. The leaders asked themselves, if they become the leaders of the city, the city will fall apart within a year.

The people in the city stopped all activities, and spontaneously prepared food for the clansmen who returned from the battle, cleaned the streets and the path in the north of the city, and many people stood on the city wall and looked north.

Chen Jian was still on the road, but he was ready to enter the city. He selected several horses with the same coat color to follow him, and asked everyone to freshen up when they were ten miles away from the city.

Since it was a victory, the momentum was like a rainbow. The soldiers held their heads high, and there was another story to brag about. The injured man deliberately exposed his scabbed wounds, which was the greatest glory of a man.

When Chen Jian saw the city, the people in the city also saw him, and all the clansmen came down from the city wall and walked out of the city to greet him.

When they saw the herd of horses following the team, the whole city erupted, and at least [-] horses were brought back, which were much bigger than horned deer, and not much worse than cattle.

When a group of people ran over chirping, the army suddenly blew the flute, and the returning soldiers shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!"

The almost uniform movements and the sound of footsteps at the same time, although there were only more than 200 people, suppressed the voices of thousands of people around.

The leaders looked at the soldiers, even though they had their own clansmen inside, but at this moment they didn't look at themselves. When they shouted Wan Sheng, they were looking at Chen Jian who was riding in front of him.

Chen Jian didn't get off his horse when he passed by those leaders, and said to them, "Thank you for your hard work, you are guarding the city these days."

"How can it compare to Ji Xia, who captured so many slaves and horses for the city?"

Several leaders looked up at Chen Jian, and said some compliments again and again. Chen Jian flicked his whip and shouted: "Go into the city."

The soldiers lined up and walked into the city in order, and the clansmen who stayed in the city unconsciously moved out of the way.

Chen Jian took the soldiers who came back from the battle to the sacrificial hall first, worshiped their ancestors and thanked them for blessing him and won another victory. Ancestors know.

When the leaders heard the words of beheading thousands of people, they gasped. Even though they had heard the rider say that they had killed many people, from the uncertain number to the certain number of thousands, it was still the same. Made them feel a little uneasy.

After the sacrifice, because there was no room for so many people in the city, everyone left the city and sat around the bean field.

In order to show justice, Chen Jian had to deal with these things that happened in the city in front of everyone this time. The soldiers maintained order and stood in a row behind him. People feel what is called "the violent organ of the state".

There was only the sound of the wind blowing the blades of grass on the quiet grass. The soldiers carried out the slate for his office from the council hall, built a table with bricks, and placed a few bronze letters on the slate.

"Si Kou Ji Song, can there be people who violated the law in the city this month?"

"Never."

Chen Jian nodded, and then asked the crowd: "Has Si Kou dealt with injustice this month?"

"No."

Song stood aside and said, "There is nothing against the law, but there are a few things I need to tell Jixia. I don't have the ability to deal with it."

To sum it up, it was trivial. The conflicts between the tribes were deliberately created by Red Fish, and Chen Jian also allowed it. If the rest of the tribes were intimate, then what would be the use of him?

But he wants to take advantage of this big victory and these few trivial matters to decentralize and collect power.

He looked at the leader who was unfairly distributed in mowing and said: "Before leaving, the tribal council discussed letting you take charge of mowing the grass in the city, but you didn't do well. You are not a qualified grass officer, but a qualified grass official." tribal leader."

The leader shouted: "I really didn't mean to. I didn't know that the grass was hard to mow."

The opposing leader shouted: "It's not...he..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Jian coughed, and the soldiers behind him thumped the drums. The soldiers threatened in unison, and the leader stopped talking.

Chen Jian looked at the leader and said: "Since the city asked you to be a grass official to prepare hay for the city to raise cattle and sheep in winter, why don't you know that the grass is difficult to cut? Yuqianer is in charge of the goods in the market. If it’s less, is it okay if you don’t know a word?”

"You are a good leader, but you are not a qualified city official. You can't tell what is a tribe and what is a city. I am the leader of the city. According to you, can I give more land to our tribe? Fellow clansmen, I want to remove him from his position as a grassroots official in the city, are you not convinced?"

The people below shook their heads one after another, and a soldier beside Chen Jian lowered his head in shame. The leader who made a mistake was his mother. He had followed Chen Jian on several expeditions, and he had gradually understood something. People who go to fight in the most dangerous places will not be convinced.

Just when the corporal leader was a little embarrassed, he suddenly heard Chen Jian calling his name.

"Your mother's deeds have shamed your tribe, are you willing to succeed him as the city's forage manager?"

The corporal leader was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and said, "I am willing! I am willing to manage the fodder for the city, and swear to my ancestors that I will never favor any tribe, so that the livestock in the city will have enough fodder, please believe it."

Chen Jiandao: "Now the tribe has [-] horses, [-] donkeys, [-] sheep, and [-] cows. Forage is not a trivial matter. Your mother is for the tribe's self-interest. If there is not enough forage in winter, the livestock will starve to death. Next year, you will have to rely on it to go to war." What? Now that you have become a grassroots official in the city, you need to know how important this matter is."

The corporal leader nodded repeatedly, turned around and vowed to everyone that similar things would never happen again, and changed his name to Cao to show that he would do a good job in this matter.

The clansmen didn't object either, and felt that it was indeed different from before. After all, it was the leader of a clan who was dismissed, but it was reasonable, and gradually began to understand the distinction between cities and private clans.

Some leaders are secretly vigilant. Now their leader positions are only useful within the tribe. If they are in cities, some things are far worse than those official positions that they looked down upon before.The leader is only the patriarch, and the patriarch only has respect but no actual rights in the city.

Chen Jian used this as an introduction to replace a few more people, and at the same time arranged for someone to be responsible for herding livestock. All the horses that were plundered this time were under the jurisdiction of the city. If they needed to be used, they could be seconded to the city. The person in charge will further reduce the responsibilities that the tribal leader can administer.

Plows have not yet appeared, and the tribal leaders do not think that these horses and cattle are useful for fighting and eating, and there is not so much opposition to this matter.

Carrying the prestige of victory, those who shouted agreement were far louder than those who disagreed, and whoever had the loudest voice in the tribal assembly was the majority.

The person who herds the livestock is the wolf skin, and the person in charge of the wolf skin is the city's general manager, and the wolf skin is in charge of several responsible persons such as grass, pens, animal husbandry, and delivery.

Three people from each tribe, and a hundred slaves were captured from the slaves brought back this time. These nearly 200 people were responsible for things like shepherding and mowing. The food and clothing of the three people from the tribe came from the public property of the city.

Counting the people and livestock under the jurisdiction of Wolfpi has surpassed most of the tribes, his power stems from Chen Jian's trust and appointment, and the power of control has surpassed some tribe leaders.

Chen Jian tried his best to complete the handover of these rights in a bloodless way after returning the rights to the cities and then distributing them, gradually decentralizing and collecting them.The more detailed the division of labor, the more dispensable the status of the tribal leader.

Today's city is an unhealthy way of existence. It is completely centered on Chen Jian. Without him, the city will run in chaos, and a special planning department is needed.

However, this form of planned development with a lot of rules is the easiest way to complete the replacement of old and new powers. It can generate a large number of non-Chen Jian’s vested interests and emerging intellectual workers who are not from Chen Jian’s family and support Chen Jian. Replace the deliberative system under the old system.

In the end, because the stables were not enough, Chen Jian asked again: "There are still 200 short stables. I have allocated [-] people. Is there anyone willing to take charge of this matter? It must be completed within ten days. Completed, you will not be elected as city officials in the future."

Some of the people below know that this is an opportunity. Now it is not the past. If you want to be respected and have a place in the city, you need to perform well in this kind of thing.

However, it was very difficult to finish within ten days. Some people thought about it, and finally gave up even though their hearts were burning.

Chen Jian asked again, and deliberately glanced at Hongyu, before Hongyu stood up and said, "I am willing."

After receiving the seal and assigning a few more things, Chen Jian looked at the sky and said, "Then let's talk about the last thing, and let's go eat after we finish."

"From now on, salt, copper, ore, wine, koji, vinegar, struvite, herbs, and maple syrup in the mountains and forests will all be monopolized by the city, and no tribe will be allowed to sell, brew, dig, or boil them privately."

Chapter 15 Guan Shanhai

After this incident was told, the entire venue was suddenly silent, not silent or agreeing, but surprised.

The sixteen tribes in the entire city knew that the four tribes around Chen Jianjian benefited the most from these things. Salt, wine and other things required certain skills, and the rest of the tribes did not have this ability.

In the past, most of the goods in Fangshi belonged to the four tribes, and through exchange, the four tribes lived far better than the rest of the tribes.

Although Chen Jian told the clansmen in the city all day long that he would not favor the four tribes, not being partial did not mean leveraging existing interests.
