From Chief to Ball

Chen Jian hastily got off his horse to return the gift, holding the jade ax in both hands, and came to Su Yue, Su Yue was also taken aback.

After bowing, he said: "Su Yue is the leader of the alliance, the elder brother of the family. Respectfully tell the ancestors, how can there be an elder brother who still asks the younger brother to do it?"

Everyone was shocked, the sacrifice was extremely important, especially such a good thing, even Su Yue didn't expect Chen Jian to refuse.

But what Chen Jian was thinking at this time was that he wanted everyone to accept the habit of the leader of the alliance, and even more accept the consciousness that the leader of the alliance was the elder brother, the eldest son of everyone's common ancestor.

Indeed, this is a good thing.

But he is not the leader of the alliance at this time, and when everyone accepts the special status of the leader of the alliance, Su Yue will die, and he will be the leader.

He wants everyone to respect the leader of the alliance, not Su Yue.Because the military exploits belonged to him, Su Yue couldn't take it away.

Chapter 83 Su Xia Limited Sovereignty System ([-])

After the grand sacrifice, there was a long-rehearsed petition session. Before the ancestor sacrifice, the people in the eastern city cried out what they had suffered, thanked Chen Jian and Su Yue, and begged everyone to witness the new leader they had elected to supervise the new leader. Oath of the leader.

After crying like this, all the leaders also agreed with the trend, knowing that now that they have helped the city in the east, someone will help when their heirs inherit it in the future. Once this rule is established, no one dares to violate it for their own children.

When the leaders closed the doors to avoid the people in the city, and changed the politics from the clan meeting in the city to a secret room, there was still a lot of praise for Chen Jian.

When they entered the city before, the orderly momentum of the black-clothed guards made the leaders of the cities very upset. Coupled with the rumors that a hundred people broke the city, everyone thought of Chen Jian's previous promise, and maybe he would have it soon. Such an army.

"What method did Ji Xia use to turn the clothes black?"

"It's really pretty, but it's a pity we don't have it."

"What do you mean? Jixia said that the ancestors guided him to guide the entire tribe of the river. Could it be that he would not exchange any good things? Even gunpowder, let alone these black clothes .”

Chen Jian laughed, and took out a bunch of wooden slips. Everyone didn't know what it was. Chen Jian said: "There are words in Xiacheng, so I will write some things on it, so as not to forget them. In the future, our vows also need to be written down. Empty words are useless. Writing on the wooden slips will save you from forgetting. It records the goods that Xiacheng can exchange with your relatives this year, so I will read it first, everyone listen to it."

"[-] pieces of black clothes, [-] steps of linen and silk."

"Thirty thousand catties of bronze, in exchange for 600 million catties of corn and beans."

"Gunpowder is 20 catties. I used only [-] catties to blow up the city in the east last time. As for the gunpowder, in addition to giving it to you, I will also teach the cities to use gunpowder to blow up cities, people, mines, and rivers." Dike method. A total of [-] catties of salt and [-] head of cattle were exchanged.”

"Three sailboats that can carry [-] catties can be exchanged for three hundred cattle and seven hundred sheep."

"[-] catties of maple syrup, [-] catties of honey, and [-] catties of various herbs."

"The craftsman who built the canal for ten miles completed the project in one year, and it only took ten miles. It was exchanged for 40 catties of corn."

"80 catties of spirits, [-] catties of corn."

"Thirty chariots for six hundred cattle."

"Train the left side of the car, the right side of the car, and hundreds of riders, and exchange [-] square logs."

"60 pieces of copper jue, tripod, pot, mirror, etc., in exchange for [-] catties of beans."

"Four hundred war horses, help train a hundred riders, and exchange for 3000 slaves from non-Yidi."

"Based on the current period, Xiacheng will be able to deliver these goods in one year's time. All the relatives can calculate how much your city needs. Let's discuss it."

At first glance, the number is a bit shocking. It is the first time for many people to come into contact with a huge transaction involving millions of catties of grain, and even more people can't figure it out.

More people are a little confused about the concept of exchange. Can people who understand technology also be used as exchange things?If it is true that Xiacheng can produce more than 200 catties per mu after the canals are built like those rumors, then the canals can really be repaired.

The calculations are clear and detailed, and it looks like a lot, but there are more than 20 cities and dozens of clans. It is not difficult to eat these goods. Each city only has 50 million catties of grain and dozens of cows.

And the chariots, training, war horses, bronze, etc. that fascinate them most can be eaten by a few big cities by themselves, but considering that letting a city eat up everyone's anxiety will cause conflicts, even with this strength I dare not speak.

Su Yue was the strongest, so he had to back down a step at this time, and only said that the bronze chariots could be shared equally among the cities.

It's just that they didn't know that Xiacheng couldn't produce so many things at this time. Chen Jian used orders to stimulate the handicraft industries in Xiacheng and Yucheng to ensure that they would be able to operate in the first year.

Xiacheng's system is basically a planning system and a state-run system. Large-scale workshops are used to produce centralized exchanges, and there is almost no small-scale private exchange. Moreover, even if it is a small batch of goods, Xiacheng also has a department in charge of the workshops. The market promotes currency, and private transactions are strictly prohibited.

These exchanged goods will be counted as a deposit for the promotion of currency in Yucheng, and a new withdrawal policy linked to the market will be implemented after returning: those people will no longer be issued in kind, but in pottery copper that can be exchanged at any time Currency method, based on monopolized market transactions, compels the completion of the transformation from physical objects to currency.After everyone accepts, Xia Cheng can mobilize more forces and private reserves.

Relying on technological advantages, more than 20 cities and more than 70 clans are used to support Xiacheng, and strive to complete the transformation of cultivated land into cattle and horses, the initial use of iron tools, and a large number of skilled workers in workshops within four years.

In the last two years of the four years, let go of technological monopoly and increase the productivity of each city, thus providing a broad enough market for the large workshop system in Xiacheng four years later, otherwise the market will not be able to accommodate a large workshop system with nearly 2 people .

The leaders didn't know Chen Jian's sinister intentions, and Xiacheng's goods were indeed nowhere else to be found, and they were basically acceptable.

However, after discussing for a while, Su Yue coughed lightly and said, "Ji Xia, what you said is actually useful in every city, so you don't have to worry about not being able to get out. It's just that everyone's counting skills are not as good as Ji Xia and counting nines." People, we can trust you, you can tell it after the fact."

"But... Did Ji Xia forget something?"

Everyone also echoed, "That's right, Jixia said to help her relatives train soldiers like Xiacheng Heiyi, why didn't she say so?"

Chen Jian said with a smile: "How could I forget? It's just that I thought, should I give others a fish? Or should I give others a way to catch fish?"

"Of course it's better to fish for others."

"Yes, it's good to teach others how to fish. Then send your trustworthy clansmen, children who may manage cities in the future, to me, and I will teach them how to ride horses, chariots, count, fight, and grow crops. , Smelting copper, training soldiers and so on? Or should I help you train a group of soldiers?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, they all laughed, and said, "Since Jixia said that, we can rest assured. We know Jixia's skills, if we can really learn these, we can not only train soldiers, but also manage a party."

Having said that, many people are vigilant in their hearts, and feel that it is best not to send their favorite son there. If the time comes to turn their faces, they will be taken hostage.Send some people to learn first, but not people who are not close to you.

When they were planning their own plans, Chen Jian changed the subject and said, "It's okay to exchange the goods before. But these things in my head were left by my ancestors to my relatives. People, such as the training of soldiers, smelting copper, and gunpowder, what if Yidi learned it? What if people who turned their backs on their ancestors learned it?"

"So, this is why Xia and Suyue invited everyone to come here. These things must not be taught casually. I hope that all relatives can understand. It is not that Xia is careful, but that these things are spread. Once the enemy learns, how can they return it in the future?" What about the land where we worship our ancestors?"

Chapter 84 A New History

Most of the people present didn't know what Chen Jian was going to do. Su Yue heard about it from his son, but he believed that Chen Jian would do it well.

He is the one who has benefited the most from this matter. Chen Jian is the best at doing it well, and it has nothing to do with him if he does not do it well. No matter what, Chen Jian is still young and has little experience, and his basic position is only a few cities in Caohe. It is impossible to seize his position as the leader of the alliance.

Potential hostility in the future is not a reason to oppose now. On the contrary, we must get closer now so that we can learn from it.

The rest of the people did not object to Chen Jian's worries, which was obvious. They all thought that if Jixia was from Dongyi, then gunpowder, bronze, chariots, horses, and these things that changed the way of war would hang over their heads. superior.

Furthermore, she objected and others supported her. Although Ji Xia said she would abide by the rules and treat everyone equally, she was still not at ease about it. When the time came when others would know that she would not, that was not good. At this time, she could only make some concessions, one by one. They all nodded and said yes.

Chen Jian took out a pile of slag glazed beads and some small copper shells from Xiacheng, and each of them sent some words: "I have a few words to say later, if the leaders agree, I will throw the copper shells from Xiacheng into the on the table. If you object, the glass will remain on the table. The last ones, everyone can take them back, and they can be regarded as a small gift for everyone in Xia City."

The completely shapeless slag glass is cloudy and uneven, slightly blue, but it is also an excellent plaything at this time. Everyone can't help but mock Chen Jian's small thoughts. This is obviously to attract everyone's support. When he arrived in his own city, who would support something he didn't want to support just for a broken furnace slag glass?

They thought that the most important thing would be involved soon, but they didn't expect that the first two things Chen Jian said were meaningless to them.

Chen Jian took out a blank wooden slip and said: "Oaths are easy to be forgotten by people, and word of mouth is also easy to change. For example, when I was in Caohe, 2000 people defeated the [-] people of Xirong, but when it was passed down here, they became human beings." Thousands of people break ten thousand. So I thought, write down our vows and pass them on to future generations. Everyone will die sooner or later, facing the ancestors is one thing, and we must leave our deeds to future generations and let them evaluate them.”

"If someone breaks the oath, when the time comes, the wooden slip will be full of handwriting. When future generations look at the wooden slip, they will say who has betrayed the oath. I am afraid that the future generations of this person will be embarrassed. If someone kills a tribe, it will also be recorded on the wooden slip. In fact, as long as someone understands this word, his massacre of the tribe will be remembered forever."
