The night after the conspiracy, several people returned to Summer City by boat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Chen Jian did what he said, he let go of his rights but did not slack off, he would not stop what he should do, and he would make proper arrangements for the council to call people back to Xia Cheng.

Several people found Jian Chen, but Jian Chen didn't say anything, and he didn't discuss anything with people secretly, it looked like he was really rigid enough to follow the rules. So Chen Jian was evaluated by a gentleman from the members of the House of Representatives.

The seemingly calm Xia City was already in turmoil, and it stands to reason that the person who should be at the top of the waves didn't seem to be aware of these storms at all.

On the third day of the fifth month, Chen Jian, as previously discussed, declared in front of all the people that he had temporarily renounced the power and responsibility of the head of the council in order to abide by the rules he had set.

When the people were panicked, Chen Jian left, and the members of the council read out the resolution of the council: in order to cope with the coming war, the people of the country temporarily stopped working in the workshop, prepared weapons and began training.

The black-clad guards are heavily armed, while secretly protecting the whistleblowers from exposure for the time being, and preparing for the events to subside.

At this critical moment, Chen Jian went back to his room to rest in the name of headache, stating that he would not care about this matter anymore.

Some people are happy to do this, thinking that Jian Chen is just making a final struggle, trying to use this kind of passive confrontation to make the council accept his proposal that the rules will not change, which seems a little ridiculous, it is best if you are sick, usually we may implore you to come back for fear that you will break the rules and fight back violently, but since you abide by the rules, it will be easy to do.

These people in Xia City seem to have learned a lot of dirt, but they haven't experienced the real blood, many stories have been heard, and their leaders don't do such dirty things, so they think it's actually easy to seize power.

Those people felt that the chances of this thing being done were too great, and the workshop workers were divided into various workshops, so it should be impossible to resist, and they didn't believe that this group of people was so afraid of death, so they were full of confidence.

Similarly, Chen Jian felt that the chances of these people being successful were too small, these workshop workers had been fighting with him for two years and learning for two years, and they had seen a lot of tricks such as deception, promises, and division, and he was very sure that the bottom line of this group of people was the rules, because once the rules were broken, they would return to becoming slaves.

It's not the content of that little rule, it's the meaning of the rule itself.

Moreover, at the beginning of the construction of Yucheng, Chen Jian had to dig inland rivers everywhere, not only to facilitate transportation and save the process of brick making, but also to divide the terrain.

The chariots in the open space were unstoppable, but with the ponds and rivers crisscrossing the ravines, the impact of the chariots was greatly limited, and the narrow terrain divided by the waterways was also suitable for the defense of the Gemao phalanx.

Gunpowder workshops, weapons workshops, grain warehouses, etc., were all located near the workshop clusters, blocked by river forks, and some simple breastwork walls were built, and the workshop workers could easily seize these places.

The military training of the workshop workers, which began a year and a half ago, also ensured that they could not be slaughtered at will, and the sticks that were not equipped with spearheads had long since been distributed.

They have their own organization, people who have been selected according to Chen Jian's requirements to propagate why they are fighting, they have strict organization, they have the bloodline of violent resistance, and they have the discipline that they have been trained for a year and a half.

Before the group resistance, they were still stuck in the thinking of destroying tools like slaves, and they were forced by Chen Jian to use rules to not smash tools, and low-level resistance learned to hold a group; Before the Winter Coat Incident, it was the time when they trusted the conscience of the ruler the most, and they were woken up by Chen Jian with deception and a mouthful of spears; Before the charity decree, it was when they didn't know what they were going to pursue in the future, and they discussed it themselves.

Organized, purposeful, demanding, knowing how to back down, and not compromising.

They weren't like the slaves who rebelled alone

Therefore, Chen Jian is also confident.

He only did one thing to do with the remaining points, and told him about the preparations for the shock by some means, and provided a list of informers, and by the way, gave them half a day to prepare.

It's just that they didn't know that they did it, just like the cloth they had provided two years ago.

Chen Jian is not afraid of chaos in the city, what he is afraid of is not chaos under the delicate balance, and the chaos is not strong enough.

Only when there is chaos can there be great chaos, and when Su Yue is out on an expedition, there will be a big chaos, otherwise in the future, if there is chaos, you will have to worry about external forces.

The scheduled arrest time of the council was the morning of the fourth day of the fifth month, and the whistle was still blowing as usual in the early morning, but no one noticed that a few people were missing from the workshops, on the grounds that they were resting due to some minor illness.

Three days of money will be deducted for each day of leave, and in order to force them to work every day, a sum of money will be issued at the end of each month, if you don't go to work for a day, the money will be deducted, so the workshop workers rarely ask for leave, but it doesn't mean that they can't take leave, because after the last struggle, they are sick and no longer thrown directly to the island to fend for themselves.

For those who have not been sick, there are a few people who are very famous among the workshop workers, such as the iron beater, who generally never gets sick.

The workshop workers thought that the day would be the same as usual, but soon found that the people of Xiacheng who were working with them did not show up.

Or because of the possibility of war, the workshop workers did not think much about it, and prepared early near the smelting furnace, handed over the tools, and prepared to cast a new batch of iron.

Ze was counting Tie Fan, when suddenly a whistle sounded, and several Xia Cheng people walked into the smelting workshop, and then one of them shouted: "The one who reads the name comes out." ”

Many people didn't know what was going on, but Ze knew what was going on, and he continued to keep his head down and go about his business, but the first name was him.

Those Xiacheng people who came to arrest didn't know what was going on, but they were working together on weekdays in accordance with the orders of the council, and the nearly two years of working together made some of the lowest countrymen and these workshop workers form a deep friendship.

When all the names and numbers were pronounced, the black-clad guard who took the lead said, "You men, because of the riot of the agitators, you will be arrested and hanged by order of the council. ”

He is not Chen Jian's person, so he took the lead in the arrest this time, and he is not a well-known figure among the black-clothed guards on weekdays, and at this time, he also felt high-spirited and a little arrogant when he led dozens of people.

These arrested people are all leaders in the workshop workers, and if they want to become leaders, they must do better than others to be convinced, not just a few words.

After saying this, all the workshop workers were immediately in chaos, and several people lined up in a row and shouted, "What are you doing here? Ji Xia said that the association is allowed, and it will not be hanged unless the smelting furnace is smashed! We're going to see Ji Xia! ”

And those Xia Cheng people who were in charge of the arrest also looked at the black-clothed guard who took the lead suspiciously and said, "Did you hear it wrong?" The rules didn't say that they would be hanged because of this? ”

The black-clothed guard drew his bronze sword and shouted, "What do you want to do?" Ji Xia temporarily handed over the rights of the leader, and now everything in Yucheng is in charge of the council, which is the newly changed rule of the council. ”

There are also Chinese people who are curious: "No, didn't Ji Xia say that the rules of our Xia City are not punished if they don't teach them?" The new rules do not apply to the mistakes made before......"

The leader shouted, "This is the order of the council, do you want to object?" Tell the councillors at the assembly of the city! Take! ”

The council is the center of power in Xia City, and any orders from Jian Chen are issued in the name of the leader of the council, these Xia Cheng people were stunned for a moment, and although they were quite reluctant in their hearts, they still took a step forward. They thought to themselves that it might not necessarily be hanging, maybe it was just to be arrested and scared, and maybe it would be good to admit their mistakes.

However, the workshop workers stopped what they were doing and shouted, "No! If Ji Xia doesn't come to give an explanation, he can't take them away! ”

More than 100 people were pushing and shoving, and Ze, who had not spoken, walked in front of everyone and said solemnly to the black-clothed guard in front of him: "This one, can you wait for a while and then arrest him?" This furnace of iron is about to come out, can you wait a minute? Otherwise, the iron will be wasted. ”

Without waiting for the man to answer, Ze shouted at the workshop workers: "Don't mess around, finish the work in hand first!" The molten iron is about to leak out! I'll talk about what to do when I'm done casting this furnace iron. ”

His prestige as a workshop worker is unmatched, and the smelting department is the place where these leaders gather, and everyone has picked up tools and waited in front of the iron-smelting furnace, and even a few low-level countrymen in Xia Cheng who worked in the smelting department with weapons in their hands also skillfully picked up their usual tools and put down the spears in their hands.

After more than a year of hard work, they liked it, the steaming environment, the pungent smoke, the dark dust, and the red molten iron.

It was their own hands that created all of this, changing the shape of the world, and even though the spear was behind them, they still poured molten iron into the fan with precision.

Even when stacking, Ze didn't forget to take a step back to see if the stacking was neat, squinted one eye and rubbed it vertically with his hand as usual to make sure it was level.

The person who took the lead was stunned, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything at this time.

Seeing the iron mouth being pierced open, listening to the sound of the horn of working together around him, and looking at the bulging muscles and flesh of this group of people, he was a little scared for a while.

The clanging and clanging of the iron fan continued for a long time, and when all this was done, the men whose names were read walked together to the front.

Ze smiled at everyone, turned back to the workshop workers and said, "In the rules, we are human beings, so let's stay here." But I didn't expect that the rules could be changed at will, and I didn't expect this to be the result. ”

"Hanging, it's terrible, it's going to die. But I am more afraid of losing my identity as a human being and becoming a slave than death. It is the slave who can be hanged by the master at will, not the person, and the death of a person needs a reason and the slave does not. Even if I die, I will not die on the gallows as a slave, never! ”

Ze laughed loudly, and suddenly felt a sharp scythe that had been melted and stabbed it into his chest.

Drawing the iron tool, the blood was pouring out, but he didn't bother to plug the bleeding wound with his hand a little, and the rough voice echoed in the empty workshop grounds.

"Never be a slave again! Never! ”

At first, it was just a desperate and lonely cry, but then the voice was no longer lonely, and more than a hundred people shouted at the same time, clenched their fists and puffed up their chests, and picked up the sickle, hoe or ploughshare on the ground.

It's just that no one noticed that the iron object inserted into Ze's chest was not inserted into the heart, but deviated a lot upward, closer to the shoulder blade.

No one has time to think about it, and the word despair can't be associated with people like Ze at all. (To be continued.) )
