From Chief to Ball

"In the final analysis, it's all about winning. Before there is no better candidate, I may let you be the preacher of the entire black guard. There will be chaos soon, and it's time to solve the doubts in the hearts of those tribesmen. Let them know what they did was right and what they did was heroic."

Ji Bo nodded in agreement, and sat down to think carefully about what Chen Jian said just now, preparing to sort it out with scarce words so that he could remember it.

And Chen Jian didn't relax, he couldn't let go of his contempt in his mouth, but he couldn't relax in his heart. After confirming that those people were about to escape, Chen Jian finally started to move.

First, he called together the people in charge of propaganda that he had mastered, and the public opinion machine that had been holding back all this time began to run at high speed under his leadership, preparing for the coming chaos.

These people want to wait for the group of people in the council to leave before going publicity, and use their escape to leave a mess to make a big fuss.

But in the evening of this day, when the conspirators were about to leave, someone in the city did what the propagandists wanted to do but hadn't started to do, making the chaotic situation even more confusing.

The cause of the incident originated from Ji Yun who was bound by the workshop workers, and the earlier cause was the words of Chen Jian heard by Ji Yun in the mine two years ago, which made Ji Yun guess what Chen Jian was thinking.

The hands and feet are tied, but the mind is not tied.

Two years ago, Chen Jian mentioned some changes that would be too much for Chinese people in the future. Ji Yun guessed that Chen Jian might make a big move. Where do you stand when standing in line.

Facing such a chaotic situation now, he thought of Chen Jian's words at the beginning, and he naturally understood who those Chinese people who didn't seem to exist at that time were obviously these workshop workers.

In fact, Chen Jian didn't say anything to Ji Yun, but it was precisely because he didn't say anything that Ji Yun saw an opportunity, an opportunity to fight desperately in exchange for trust and a future.

It is said that it is to follow orders, but it is not said that it coincides with each other, which is completely different.

When he was in the mine, he had an opportunity, grasped it, and won praise that he couldn't even imagine.

Today the opportunity is only greater than it was then, but it is also more difficult.

The opportunity two years ago does not need to offend anyone, as long as you do your own thing well.

Now he wants to draw a clear line with the old-fashioned faction in Xiacheng, and plunge himself into this life-and-death struggle.

If Chen Jian loses, his life will be over, and he will die.

But he believed that Chen Jian would not lose.So I decided not to do one thing and not to stop. Since I want to stand in the team, I should not be afraid of failure.

A lot of news on the opposite side is only across an inland river. When the council said that the public property should be divided so that everyone can fight the enemy, Ji Yun and the workshop workers also heard it and saw the chaos on the other side.

The workshop workers didn't care about this, and after mocking the other party, they went about their business step by step. Anyway, these workshops have nothing to do with them after they leave.

Looking at the group of workshop workers, Ji Yun yelled a few words and asked, "Do you have to leave?"

"Nonsense, why don't you go and stay as a slave?"

"Ji Xia may agree to your request, as long as the rules..."

"Don't bring up the rules with us. The rules can be changed at will? Jixia obeys the rules, but what happened? Let your meeting be cleaned up, and now you can't even see the shadow. Now even these public workshops have to be divided up Well, just ask your people to come and slaughter us bravely, why should we stay foolishly?"

Ji Yun shouted: "If Ji Xia is here, she will definitely abide by the rules. Ji Xia has never violated what you have won."

This is true, and the workshop workers were also deeply touched. Several of them bowed their heads in silence, and one with a black cloth wrapped around his arm said: "You are right, but it doesn't make sense. Jixia used to be the leader of the council, Not necessarily now. Besides, what if we believe in him? If he dies, can the next person be like him? Originally, we thought that Yucheng was very good, at least there were rules. We didn't stay because of Jixia, but It's because of the rules. Now we can't stay no matter what."

Ji Yun begged: "Then can you let me go to the river and talk to the clansmen on the other side? They have been deceived, and Ji Xia doesn't know where they are. If they really come here to fight for the division of public property, I'm sorry for you!" It’s not good either, don’t you think?”

The man wearing the black cloth glanced at Ji Yun and said, "You have such kindness?"

Ji Yun thought, since he has already joined the team, after winning, these people must be Chinese people like him, and this is the time to show his image.Anyway, if you lose, you will die, but if you win, you have to plan for the future.

So he shouted loudly and proudly: "I am for Xiacheng, for Yucheng, and for all my relatives! Some people may not listen to what I say, and they may kill me after you leave, but for Chengyi What is better than death?"

In fact, he felt that he would not die, and these people would not go.Regardless of whether it is death or these people leave, the words just said will not have a chance to be remembered through the ages.

Although he knew in his heart that if Chen Jian died at this time, he would not shout such words, but people's hearts are far away, who knows except himself?

Even though the hostility is still present, Ji Yun's eloquent words still won applause from all the halls. Many workshop workers spontaneously applauded with the habits they learned in Yucheng. Several people praised: "We really like you guys very much. Xiacheng people, at least some of you have something in your head that others will laugh at. It is said that there are people who are looking for how to make peace in the city, not even the commander of the city; Damn. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

Ji Yun said with a cold face: "We are enemies now, and you praise me just because you want your people to learn from me, but you may not be able to learn."

The man with black cloth wrapped around his arms, Ji Yun was very annoying and always bared his teeth with a mocking expression, and always preached something in front of everyone shrugged: "We don't need to learn, because we don't need to shout, but in Do it with your hands. We are not as good as you say, but our hands are still working in the workshop and holding spears by the river, which is more useful than it is said."

Ji Yun snorted, thinking that no wonder this person was on the list for hanging, his words were like arrows and tongues like spears, every sentence was bloody, and every word pierced his heart.

If the person on the opposite side knew that the words that were widely circulated in the last riot were uttered by this person, I am afraid that it will not only be hanged.

In the end, those workshop workers escorted Ji Yun to the river with a smile, or out of respect.

Facing the familiar old man, Ji Yun shouted loudly: "Everyone, how did it become like this? What about Jixia? Why did you allow those people to mess around? What do they know? All they think about is their little bit of power. Have you thought about the entire Xia City? How can you be convincing if you say something without believing it? The agreed rules can be changed at will, today it is aimed at these workshop workers, will it fall on us tomorrow?"

"According to the rules of our Xia City, the change of public property cannot be decided by the council. It must be discussed at the Kaicheng town meeting. This is against the rules. Such a big matter is decided in a small room? I see some of you Still laughing, my God, is there anything scarier than this?"

"If you break the rules, a hut can decide the fate of the whole city. Could it be that those in the hut want your life and your property is more difficult than changing the city?"

"This kind of chaos is all because of the easy change of the rules. Don't you realize why all the chaos is because of it? Now the workshop workers are leaving, and there will be an empty city left by then. This loss Who will pay? Will those people who break the rules at the meeting use their own private land to compensate everyone?"

"These workshops are for everyone to share, but what's the use of a pile of bricks and tiles without people? At that time, we people will have to do more work? Now we work four or five hours a day, and when these people leave But it will take seven or eight hours to work!"

"Look, what does Yucheng look like now? There are parapets and ditches everywhere. In ten days, how many things can we exchange in the past? But now? Nothing! The council members and land slaves, they You can live well without a workshop, and it would be even better without the constraints of rules, but what else can we rely on besides relying on rules to protect us?"

"They have a lot of land and a lot of slaves, what do we have? These communal workshops are finished, what do we live on?"

"They changed the rules at will today and divided up the public property. Can't they change the rules tomorrow and take back the public property? At that time, all the rules Jixia set up to protect us will be gone. Aren't you just fish on the chopping board? Is it slaughtered by people? Is what the group of people in the council want really what you want?"

"Look at the other cities, they have slaves all the time, they don't even have the rules of life, but do they live better than us?"

"Yes, some people, some relatives live better than us, but how many cities can there be? There may be one in a hundred people. But now you can't be one in a hundred, so why do you believe that Xiacheng will also change? When you become like the rest of the cities, can you be the one out of a hundred?”

"If you support those idiots with high meritorious service or high grades or even excellent schools, I will only praise you, because you have proved that you are one of a hundred people, no matter what happens to the city, you are still the best. You're fighting for your own interests, and you're smart even if you don't agree."

"But you are not even as good as me. Why do you think that everything is the same as other cities and you can live the lives of relatives and nobles in other cities, instead of the lives of those at the bottom of the country?"

"Do you have the ability to be one in a hundred or even one in a thousand? No! You are obviously among those 99 people, why do you want to maintain what that one person wants? This is stupid."

"You are living better than the lower class in other cities now because the city is strong and different, because our public workshops stole slaves from other cities to support us, not that you and the lower class in other cities It’s different, one day when you know it, it’s too late to cry.”

"Everyone, think about it carefully. If you believe what they say today, you are tying yourself up with your own hands, and you will let them slaughter you in the future."

"The group of people in the council has betrayed Xia Cheng!"

After cursing these words angrily, Ji Yun's voice became a little hoarse, and the other side also fell into a terrible silence.His clothes were already soaked in sweat, and his words had pushed him into a desperate situation. Once those people won, he would have no choice but to die, and his words of insulting the clansmen might also cause some feather arrows.

But the other side was extremely quiet. Those Chinese people looked at Ji Yun and then looked back at the meeting, and began to struggle and hesitate in their hearts, not knowing who was right.

I don't know who said after a long sigh: "There have been too many changes in the past few days, so much that we no longer know who is right."

"It would be great if Jixia was here. We are like lost fawns. We have to have our mother tell us where to go. He must know what is right and what is wrong."

"He's right. I went to other cities with Jixia. Those low-level people in the country didn't live as well as us, but we didn't live as well as the relatives in those cities. But can we become relatives?" They all want to live a life like that without doing anything, but food and use can’t fall from the sky, someone has to work, right? Someone has to fight, right?”

"If only I had listened to Ji Xia back then, it would have been safe and sound, and those workshop workers would not have rebelled. Actually, they don't ask for much, they just ask not to destroy the original rules."
