From Chief to Ball

A large number of Xinxia people could not survive after their land and tools were confiscated. Perhaps they were worried that they would resist to the death, so they were not treated as slaves, but they could not survive. The woodworking workshop built by Mu Ma and others ushered in the cheapest ever The price of hired labor - just a bowl of rice.

Many Xinxia people had to sell themselves as slaves in order to survive, but most of the people who bought these people were members of the council and relatives of the clan.

Mu Ma's blood was surging during the fight, but it was a little hard to accept that he bought those Xinxia people who had worked together before and met each other on weekdays as slaves.Getting something for nothing is always bad in Xia City's morality. Although it is incompatible with other cities, it has always had some influence over the years.

Bad luck and good fortune depend on each other, good things are followed by bad things.

Muma suddenly realized that his Lisi lost his authority in an instant.

The matter stemmed from the looting of the property of those Xinxiacheng people. After a Xinxiacheng person was deprived of all his property, two people argued over a cow.

Originally, when there was Lisi and the rules were perfect, there was no chance to argue.

But now under the slogan of returning everything to selfishness and dividing up public property, the meaning of this cow is completely different.When the two were arguing, the clans they belonged to also got involved, and when Mu Ma knew about it and ran over, he was beaten because he was not a member of the two clans.

The land remains private, the confiscated land and slaves are allocated to the clan, and the voice of the clan replacing the city government continues to affect Xiacheng.

Many people found out in a panic that the original Xia City had disappeared, and the new Xia City had become unrecognizable to them.

Xiacheng, which many people don't recognize, means the success of the first step of those conspirators.

In a certain large house, relatives of the two clans that had previously fought for cattle were drinking together.

"In the past, there were rules for everything, which is not good."

"There are rules for everything, what use are we?"

"That's right, the tribe is afraid of the rules, not us. This is wrong. Just like when Ji Song was the chief officer, the tribe was not afraid of him, and he was very kind, but he still had authority, because everyone was afraid of him." Behind the rules, I am afraid of the power in the hands of Jixia who enforces the rules."

"So, if you want Jixia not to come back, you have to let the rules go, you have to deliberately let them fight, and you are not allowed to use the previous rules to restrain them. When they fight hard, they will naturally know that only the clan is Their only reliance. The concept of Xia City as a group is false, and the clan is real."

"The chaos will continue for a while, until the people below don't trust each other, so that we can sit safely. Want to resist? Ha, we will be afraid of the entire Xia City's resistance. A few people... my slaves and private soldiers are enough. "

"Remember, there must be no fairness when distributing things. We should give more to some people and less to some people. Let those who give more stand by our side, and let those who give less hate those who get more. Let those people know and get close to us. We can live a good life, but if we oppose it, our life will be worse than death."

Instigated by this idea, the old system inevitably collapsed without the protection of the overriding right of the city.

There are no rules, everything is free and anarchic, and people have returned to the era of the clan era when everything was judged by the leader, the elderly, relatives, etc.

Without organization, the Lisi system collapsed, and one could only rely on the clan.The clan leaders and relatives have their own private soldiers and slaves, and they inevitably become the owners of rights.

It has to be said that there are no foreign enemies for the time being, the land and property of the new Xiacheng people have been divided up, and a large amount of supplies accumulated before, and the old Xiacheng people have lived a life of a master in a short period of time. This is Chen Jian. They didn't dare to promise or dare to promise, but the council did it in just one month, because they divided up the wealth accumulated in Xiacheng for several years and caused sick prosperity in a short period of time.

The morbid carnival came to an abrupt end in July.

Several envoys from Yucheng approached Xiacheng, but did not enter the city. They just publicized the archway that Chen Jian had erected outside the city, and declared that they would return to Xiacheng in winter, because he did not want to hinder the normal autumn harvest in Xiacheng. Kind, and declared that he did not betray, but took people to Dongyi to bring back more wealth for Xiacheng.

The envoys left after shouting, and these people knew that Ji Xia had brought 3000 people to Dongyi, where there are many cities. true and false.

Obviously this was a rumor, but it made many people uneasy. Many Xiacheng people spontaneously went to the sacrificial hall to pray for the protection of their ancestors.

Rumors are not credible, but the makers of the rumors don't take it seriously.From their point of view, Yucheng was already in disarray. Since Chen Jian yelled the slogan to go to Dongyi first and then return to Xiacheng, going to Dongyi must be close to death, or even if it is not, it must be seriously injured.

The words of coming back in winter are just threats, and if it is delayed until next spring and summer, Xiacheng will never go back, so what if it comes back?

In those days when the rumors spread, the situation in Xia City suddenly opened up. The events that spanned thousands of miles made the conspirators in Xia City heave a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of the conspirators, Chen Jian was crazy. He would definitely die if he went out to attack Dongyi with such a small force, and he didn't return to Xia City first. Obviously he was not going to govern Xia City, and even acquiesced in the form of Xia Yu's split. Maybe at that time, we only need to respect Jixia as the leader, but Xiacheng will govern Xiazheng, and Yucheng will govern Yuzheng, without affecting each other.

This illusion was not only produced in the minds of the conspirators, but also affected all the nearby cities. They were still waiting and watching, even in the face of such generous conditions that betrayed the interests of Xia City, they did not accept it, because they were afraid.But now the possibility that frightened them no longer exists.

For a moment, all threats disappeared.

The two cities of Wei and E had not stated their position before, but they quickly received the envoys sent by the conspirators of the council after this incident, expressing ambiguously that they supported the decision of the Xiacheng people, but the envoys were not received by the leader or the high priest. Just a very casual city nobleman.

The white horse, which has been closing the city gates and declaring that it will not participate in any disputes in Xiacheng, also opened the city gate after the rumors spread, and sent people to Xiacheng, claiming that Yangguan will never abandon Xiacheng, but it will go to Xiacheng as a routine in a few days Grassland looting and tribute collection, so there is no time to return to Xia City before next year.

Under such a clear diplomatic situation, the plotters of Xiacheng took control of public property such as the Yantian Copper Mine that was nominally to be divided, and thought of a genius idea in the excitement.

What could be more profitable than minting money?Why did Jixia control the amount of coins minted?This is simply unreasonable.

So all the slaves of several families and a large number of original public slaves were sent to mines and smelting workshops, all the copper in stock was melted into coins, and a large coin with the number one hundred was issued. Amount of copper coins.

They got rich and owned more money than the entire Xia City had in the previous two years.

According to the previous purchasing power, you can buy the total production of the entire Xiayu plus the cities in the blood-sucking system for two years.

Chapter 75 Back to before the change overnight

In mid-July, the carnival of one part over another reaches its peak.A National People's Congress that decides the fate of Xiacheng is officially opened. Everyone has the opportunity to sell all the public property to "real Xiacheng people" at a low price.

A large amount of public land confiscated before and the people of Xinxia City belong to the clan. From now on, the right to distribute the land will be divided among the powerful and prestigious clan leaders elected by everyone, and promise to be fair .

They also promised that in the future, real Xiacheng people would not need to pay any taxes, nor would they need to cultivate public land, and would be completely free.

Since there is no need to pay taxes, and since the Lisi system has collapsed, the people of Xiacheng feel that it is better for the land to stay with the clan, and the clans can help each other in exchange. After all, the same clan is related by blood. .

Most of the land and slaves were concentrated in the hands of the conspirators' families, which belonged to the clan in name, but the jurisdiction and distribution rights were in their hands.

Most people in the country look forward to the public land slaves becoming their own private property, excitedly looking forward to the day of distribution.

As for the workshops and salt fields, I didn’t feel much benefit when managing the public property before, and I didn’t feel that the public property belonged to me. It’s better to sell it and turn it into money.

When that day came, Mu Ma, like most people, went to the center of the city with all the coins.

The land was allocated on the first day, and when the Chinese people had enough land, these lands were only used as property and needed to be sold for money before being distributed to every Chinese citizen in Xiacheng.

The people of Xiacheng came into contact with currency very early, and because of the city's previous strict control, the currency was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It can be regarded as the political legacy and reputation legacy of the city's previous years.

From tax payment to purchase, currency can be completed, so naturally no one wonders what is going on with currency, they just think it is amazing.Sometimes this thing itself is very strange. In the previous life, even in the Song and Ming dynasties, some high-ranking officials still did not understand why the price of goods would rise every winter when the Imperial Army’s Beijing camp paid their salaries.

In the land sale process, Muma took out almost all the coins to buy about [-] mu of land very close to the city. The price was quite reasonable, basically the land price stipulated by the Planning and Statistics Department before.He also left some money and planned to buy a few more public slaves tomorrow.

But there was a problem in the process of selling slaves the next day. The price of slaves kept rising. Muma originally planned to buy ten slaves, but in the end he could only buy four with his money.

In the afternoon, the price was even higher when selling ironware for farming cattle. Most people couldn’t afford ironware for farming cattle. Mu Ma looked at the four slaves, a cow, and two plowshares at home, and was very excited. Live better, owning so much land and slaves, and part of collective workshops, I will have a lot of money in the future.

"Did Ji Xia really do something wrong? In just two months, these people in the council have made everyone's life better than what they had accumulated in the previous few years."

He was a little puzzled, a little confused, and completely confused.

After the land slaves were divided, everyone was happy, and began to sell various workshops, and declared that the money would be distributed to everyone on an equal basis.

Salt, copper mines, smelting and other workshops were sold off at the National People's Congress, and Mu Ma couldn't afford that much money, so he could only be envious.

Moreover, it is impossible to buy these workshops by yourself. When the Lisi system was still in place before, with your own prestige, you might be able to gather the power of fifty households to buy some small workshops, but now everyone only cares about themselves, and there is no possible.

But when the families of the conspirators kept bringing up the earthen baskets containing money, a salt pan and the slaves, tools, etc. contained in the salt pan were sold at an astonishing price.
