Chapter 15: Conspiracy

The whole venue was instantly quiet, half of the people were stunned, Chen Jian raised his head, and said indifferently: "I set the rules, so I have to abide by the rules." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou all know the discussion about the workshop workers last year when the Charity Act was enacted, right? Some people support it, some people oppose it, but even if they know that if they make a decision to support it, then even if they oppose it, they must suppress it and do what they don't like. That group of people is still like this, and I, Jian Chen, are not even inferior to them. ”

Several people looked at the seal symbolizing power on the wooden platform and swallowed involuntarily, and Chen Jian suppressed the surprise of those who supported him and sat there quietly.

There are very few people who know about this matter in advance, so little that they can be counted on one hand, and the people who support Chen Jian emotionally cannot be counted on two hands even in such a deformed council.

There are some things that Jian Chen doesn't want to touch, but he doesn't have the opportunity. In the few years since he left Xia City, even if Yu Qian'er was watching there, some people's power in Xia City expanded extremely quickly.

Jian Chen spent several years making up a lie, he was very disciplined, and even a little rigid in the matter of rules, so rigid that he could give up many things in order to obey the rules.

The lies he had concocted for years had finally come into play, so when he asked all the people in Xia City who had usually disagreed with him to come to Yucheng, no one was worried that Jian Chen would act like the rest of the city leaders had seized power, because for five years, Jian Chen had deceived him and even believed himself.

Everyone thought that Jian Chen was going to reason with those people, and they were not afraid at all if they were reasonable, but they didn't believe it anyway, and what they didn't expect was that Jian Chen gave them a surprise...... For the sake of those rules, it is better to give up the rights of the leader for the time being.

Some things, once you let go, may not belong to you again.

After waiting for a long time, one of them stood up and said, "Ji Xia, we are not against you...... It's just that there are some things that the Chinese people have always had opinions about. For example, about slaves, for example, about the system of public property, and so on......"

Jian Chen waved his hand and said: "I am only a member of the council now, not the leader, all rights belong to the council, you don't have to say anything, just do it." ”

Everyone looked at each other, but their eyes couldn't take their eyes off the seal. Who knew that Jian Chen's prestige at this time was unmatched, but ...... But what if he proves him wrong?

As long as this matter starts and the prestige is greatly reduced, many things in the future can not be so trembling, and even the prestige accumulated by Jian Chen can completely dissipate after a few years, and people are good at forgetting.

Faced with such a choice, someone finally stood up and said: "Since Ji Xia is unwilling to break the rules he has established, then now the council will vote, whether to adhere to that rule or cancel that rule?" ”

The strange pattern of this deformed council that Chen Jian had spent two years assigning to the manpower had finally appeared at this point the situation he wanted to see: the people in the room were in the majority against him, so much so that the majority thought that they were the majority of the entire Xia City.

Moments later, the rule that the workshop workers should not be arrested and exiled for no reason was abolished, and then, in the name of the council, Hongyu was ordered to hand over the list of the workshop workers' leading troublemakers provided by the informant, and at the same time, Chen Jian was asked to mobilize the black-clothed guards in the name of the Great Sima to prepare for the shock.

Chen Jian complied with the resolution of the council, since he wanted to play the politics of the people of the city, he had to abide by the rules of the game, and if he didn't have that heart, he wouldn't play, and honestly conspired to seize power by force and violence.

The people in the council are no longer as simple as they were a few years ago, and their methods are a little higher than they were back then.

After a little discussion, a solution was decided.

In the name of preparing for the expedition, the people of Xiacheng who gathered in Yucheng were made clear by Chen Jian that this was the decision of the council, and they must first be justified.

Then he ordered the workshop workers to continue to work, not to let them prepare in advance, and at the same time to divide the workshop and arrest them separately.

The black-clad guards are responsible for guarding the government hall and killing them in the event of violent resistance.

The Department of Planning and Statistics worked out new rules overnight, including that workshop workers could enjoy their status as nationals after killing the enemy, and strive to divide those workshop workers.

Contact the informants and the representatives of the bought workshop workers, and let them promote the idea of non-resistance and win-win cooperation, and set up those whistleblowers and the bought workshop workers as examples, and take the lead in giving them the status of nationals.

In the morning, a few things to do first in the past few days were set, and although these people in the Yucheng system didn't understand what Jian Chen meant, the idea that Chen Jian usually instilled the biggest rules still had the upper hand at this time.

These people decided to abide by the decision of the council, after all, the council is the highest authority, and Chen Jian is the head of the council to exercise the power of the council on behalf of the council, but at this time he has let go.

Faced with this situation, Chen Jian was very relieved, at least in the Yucheng system, these people have begun to follow the rules.

His own victory ultimately stems from the victory of the rules, and abiding by the rules is the greatest support for himself, and besides, he has not said anything, nor has he said anything, and it is beyond his wishes that these people can abide by the decisions of the council.

Everyone, including Chen Jian, prepared for the shock and pressure action before the expedition in accordance with the resolution of the council, and this sudden situation, as well as the attitude of the people of Yucheng to abide by the rules of the council, made the ambition of some people undoubtedly exposed, and they thought that they were seventy percent sure that they could win.

The crux of everything seemed to them to have nothing to do with this arrest, it was just the beginning. In their opinion, all this is already a sure success, so there is no need to think about arrest and shock, it is time to think about it later.

It was not yet dark, and the conspiracy had gathered in a corner that no one could see, the most of all the dissenting high-ups in the entire summer city had gathered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our fate is at stake. Ji Xia's power is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't object to that. But folks, what are the days of the rest of the cities? See how the children of the rest of the cities are doing. Yucheng has banned the election system, everything has to start from the school, and everyone's children are the same, why is this? We disbanded the clan for the creation of Xia City, and when Xia City was first built, we worked hard, and why did the children of those people have the same starting point as us? ”

"He has no queen and is extinct, does he want everyone to be like him? The cities belong to the officials, and the children are still the officials; The head of the clan of the city, the children still have the power of slaves in the good land, what about us? Now don't talk about children one after another, even slaves can't see each other in Yucheng, how can this work? Ji Xia even wants every child to learn to write and count, and they all want to work hard, who will do it? If you want me to say, the whole Xia City only needs a hundred literate people, if those workshop workers can't read, if those stupid Chinese people can't read, where will there be so much? ”

"As long as it is done this time, Ji Xia's prestige will inevitably be greatly damaged, he has done a lot of right things, but now he has begun to make mistakes."

"Xia Cheng is the Xia Cheng of Xia Cheng people, this is what he has always said, we are not against him, just to make Xia Cheng better; For you, me, and our children. The rest of the cities did not have such a thing, and did they not live well? Without him Ji Xia, Xia Cheng is still Xia Cheng! ”

"He thought he had exhausted everything, so he called us here, hoping to reason with us and make us agree with his reasoning. But I don't agree, and you don't agree either, but because of his prestige, I have to agree. ”

"Now that his prestige is growing, and those stupid ordinary people trust him more and more, this is our last chance. If you want to do great things, you can't be afraid of death. ”

The conspirators clenched their fists, still a little frightened, but the leaders said something horrific that made them no longer afraid.

"I know you're scared, but as long as we work together, we won't be able to get things done."

"Once the matter on the workshop worker's side is settled, don't we know that it is easy to become chaotic when we go to the battlefield with such a person? Of course we know, and we just want to make Yucheng chaotic, that is, to take advantage of Ji Xia's consistent idea of abiding by the rules to let him take the soldiers who are prone to mutiny to the battlefield. ”

"Since he is the Great Sima, he must lead the troops on this expedition."

When the speaker said this, he snorted and said with a smile: "We are in the city, and we have cut off the food of the army, and this is not a war of dozens of miles, but a war that spans five hundred miles. As soon as he leaves, we will continue to oppress those workshop workers, let them destroy the ships, how can they transport grain without the ships? ”

"No matter how capable he Ji Xia is, I'm afraid that he may not be able to win without food, right? He naively thought that we were moved by him to support him to go on the expedition, but the proposal to go on the expedition was made by him, and we will not be blamed for the failure at that time. ”

"If Dongyi wins, Ji Xia's prestige will be swept away, and it is best to die. If he didn't die, even if he escaped, even if those stupid people still supported him, could he still be this leader? ”

"If he really has the ability, he can still win without food, and the slaves he can bring back will be the property of the public. Let's propose that the black-clothed guards have meritorious conquests, and the slaves will return to the black-clothed guards with their private property, who will the black-clothed guards support at that time? Don't look at them getting close to Ji Xia now, but I think that if we really give them the public property, they will definitely be on our side. Besides, even if he wins and runs out of food and grass, he is afraid that the black-clothed guards will also be killed and injured, what does he Ji Xia rely on? ”

"Ji Bai is a dog of Ji Xia, and he only believes in him, so he is not suitable to be the leader of the black-clothed guards, and he is looking for someone to ...... when he goes out to fight in Dongyi. He accidentally ignited the gunpowder and blew himself up. ”

"As for ordinary Chinese people, they are all stupid and can only see the small profits in front of them. When this was done, slavery was restored...... All public property will be distributed to every Xiacheng citizen, including the public land of Xiacheng and the workshops here, and the control of private workshops will be fully liberalized, including iron smelting. Those Chinese people are stupid and can't understand it, so a few of us will give money to the people in exchange for the management of the smelting workshop in their hands, and appropriately share some of their benefits, so that they can be happy. ”

"You must know that the root of Ji Xia's power lies in these public property, once the public property system is broken, what is the difference between him and us? These people are wolves who can't be fed, and when Ji Xia can't give them back, he can only feed himself. ”

"The public property that Ji Xia has prepared with all his heart has become the best reward for us to buy the countrymen. The public property of an iron-smelting workshop cannot be seen or touched, but nominally the whole countryman is not as accessible as slave land, where is it compared to the private property of a family that has been allocated to 300 acres of land? ”

"Everyone, this is our last chance, if we lose this time, I'm afraid that Xia Cheng will completely change."

"If we don't do anything because we're afraid, for another three years, none of us will have to struggle. When the children of those civilians grow up and we are old, it will be all over at that time. ”

"Si Xiangji is Ji Xia's younger sister, in fact, many people can do what she can do, and she may not be able to do it well. She can do a good job just because Ji Xia is in control of the public property and supports him, once the public property is divided into private individuals, her rights will be gone, and this can be left alone. ”

"As for the Redfish...... reminded everyone that she was a foreigner and forced her to hand over power. If Ji Xia hadn't died, let's say that the red fish tricked Ji Xia into making these wrong decisions and forced Ji Xia to kill her. ”

"The people of Xiacheng are there, immediately go to people to prepare, there are a lot of us over there, control the civet cat and a few others, wolf skin as the uncle in charge of the fiefdom, there are already people who have opinions about him, and they must take this opportunity to take it down."

"Over there...... Hakuba Give him a fief, north of Yangguan, and all of it will belong to him, and tell him that the council will not treat him badly. ”

"Send someone to contact the leaders of Eyue Weihe Suyue and other leaders, and say that we are willing to exchange copper and iron smelting and other technologies in exchange for their support. Give up Xia Cheng's mine income in the two cities of Ewei, and just ask them to be on our side. They will agree. ”

"I don't know about others, but in the vicinity of Onozawa, there are already many leaders who are dissatisfied with Ji Xia's rules. The last time I went to Aushiro, several leaders also secretly approached me and made friends, and I think this friendship is enough for them to make a decision. ”

"The rest of the cities are no longer accustomed to Ji Xia, if a person is opposed by smart laborers, then he must have done something wrong."

"You don't have to be afraid, even if we fail, we can still go to other cities. With our ability, with everything we learned in Xia City, it is as beautiful as other cities. And...... Some people are very welcome to go, and we are welcome to do such things, and some of the black-clothed troops trained in Yucheng can also be temporarily used by us. ”

"There are rumors in the rest of the cities that once the matter is completed, we will destroy the school, only allow the children of relatives and nobles to study, cut off the assessment system, first return to the promotion and then return to the bloodline, and all the differences in Yucheng and their rules will be removed."

"As long as we do this, the clans of the entire Great River Tribes will support us, and they have promised a lot."

"Without those things, our rights are still there, and our children can still inherit everything from us. Those schools and workshops will only make the stupid bottom more and more cunning and cunning, it is better to destroy them, we still have slaves anyway. ”

"This is the right way for Xia Cheng, the rest of the cities are like this, why does Xia Cheng have to be different? Since Ji Xia has always said that Xia Cheng is from Xia Cheng, every Xia Cheng person has to do everything for the rise and fall of Xia Cheng. ”

"Don't think that we are ruthless, don't think that we are hurting our own people by cutting off food and inciting mutiny, you must remember that we are trying to get Xia Cheng back on the right path, Ji Xia is wrong! These dead people are just sacrifices, and these sacrifices will make the future of Xia Cheng better, and I don't think they would blame us even if they knew. They are too shallow and stupid, so let's make the decision for them! ”

"This ...... It's for Summer City! (To be continued.) )
