As Chen Jian expected, the struggle experience was not enough and there was no opportunity to learn from blood and history, Ze Min and the others really obediently went back to work, and even celebrated in the evening, feeling that they had done a good deed for the thousands of people in Onozawa, and their hearts were infinitely satisfied.

There are still illusions in their hearts, although Jian Chen has long told them that he is not a good person, but these people always hope that one day someone will come to save them. However, relying on others is only salvation, relying on oneself is liberation, Chen Jian does not want to be a god of fraternity, and he does not want his people to hope for a loving and omnipotent god to save them from the sea of suffering, so they can only let them shed blood to break the illusion of relying on people to save.

He thought that Chen Jian would agree to his request the next day, but he didn't expect that when the few of them were celebrating their first victory that night, Chen Jian had already called someone to inform all the people in Xia City.

Because of the location of the countrymen, there was a great distance between the countrymen and the workshop workers, and these countrymen had sufficient military training, and they were non-full-time soldiers, and they were quickly organized and distributed in groups of five.

Early the next morning, the rest of the workshops went to work as usual, and Chen Jian took the armed Chinese people to the group of workshop workers in the smelting division.

He had a smile on his face, and Ze Min and the others also smiled at him.

"I know what you asked for yesterday. We discussed it yesterday. ”

The workshop workers of the smelting division clenched their fists excitedly, and several people couldn't help but cheer, but Chen Jian spread his hands and said, "The result of our discussion is...... Your demands are unreasonable, and we don't agree. ”

In an instant, all the excited workshop workers were stunned, they never expected this result, Chen Jian shrugged his shoulders and said: "I'm talking about the rules, yesterday I told you that you still need to discuss again, is the result of the discussion necessarily agree?" ”

"You ......"

Jian Chen smiled: "What are you?" I've said I'm not a good person, and that's to let you know I'm not lying. ”

The crowd suddenly became chaotic, and Jian Chen scolded: "What are you doing? Why do you want to wear winter clothes? ”

"Because it's cold!"

"That's right! Because it's cold! ”

Someone took the lead, and naturally someone echoed and responded, and Jian Chen sighed and said, "Cold? The cold proves that you don't work hard enough! If you are tired and sweaty, how can you be cold? It's weird. ”

"Cold, it means you're lazy!"

The anger in the crowd could be heard, the sound of cursing, the gurgling of gnashing teeth, but Jian Chen was unmoved, snapped his fingers, the people around him blew their whistles, and the countrymen who had already been armed approached the workshop workers of the smelting division with the sound of drums, and raised their spears in unison.

Yesterday, these workshop workers faced more than a dozen black-clothed guards, but after a night of preparation, they were facing hundreds of Chinese people with weapons in hand, and it was no longer yesterday's situation.

A few people were not afraid of death, and they wanted to come forward to theorize, but they were pulled back by one of them.

"You are very well-behaved and do not smash tools, but in the way of normal work, whipping is inevitable. Now, I ask you, who is leading this? Stand out! Otherwise, everyone will be scourged. How, dare not do it? Do you do something wrong and let your buddies take a beating for you? ”

The people below were suddenly silent, but none of them stood up to say the person who took the lead, but instead quietly moved to the middle, blocking the groans in the crowd.

But he squeezed away the person in front of him, but when he was about to go to the front, he was still grabbed by someone. Dozens of people shouted in unison: "There is no one to take the lead, and there is no saying that anyone is beaten for whom, we just want a winter coat to wear, we are all human beings, we are all cold, why do we have to take the lead?" ”

"That's right! If you don't take the lead, you will beat us if you want to! ”

The few people in front of them also had backbone, and without saying a word, they took off the bark rags on their bodies, revealing their sturdy backs, not because they thought they were so imposing, but because they still had to wear clothes, and it was a pity to be crushed by the thorny leather whip.

The black-clothed guard walked to the front with a whip, and Jian Chen stretched out his finger and said, "The first offense, twenty lashes per person." One more offense, double. Beat! I didn't go to work for a day yesterday, I wasted so much time, and I didn't work as fast as before after being whipped, deducting three days of money. I don't want to do it here, you can go, I didn't ask you to be here. Oh. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the island where you used to live accidentally caught fire, and accidentally burned down your thatched huts. ”

More than a dozen workshop workers in the crowd who had been with Ze Min and others all day shouted: "Without us, your Yucheng can't be built!" ”

"I let you stay here, that's my ability, I want thousands of you, not you, without you, there will naturally be others! Do you have the ability to go, do you have the ability to let everyone go? Do you have what it takes to make these people who follow you not die of hunger and freeze this winter? You can let me add you a winter coat, that's what you're capable of. But you're not very capable. Call me! Those who dare to resist will be punished for confronting the Xia Cheng army and all of them will be executed! ”

Some people in the crowd were already angry to the extreme, Chen Jian quietly observed, and found that someone secretly grabbed the few people who wanted to rush over with their bare hands, obviously facing hundreds of Chinese people with weapons in their hands were looking for death.

The black-clothed guards took leather whips and began to beat the first few people to stand up in front of everyone, and the flesh and blood of the beating were blurred in the back, but they gritted their teeth and did not say a word.

Jian Chen didn't bother to look at the execution behind, and said to the people around him: "Look at the point, if you die, drag it away and feed the dogs, if you don't die, you can make sure that you can work and then hire them to do the work, so as not to waste food and eat in vain." There is a shortage of people now, if there are too many people, I will not hire you directly, you go hungry. ”

Before leaving, these words seemed to wake up those people, and Jian Chen didn't know if they could understand it, so he went back first.

At night, Ze was lying on the wooden board, a few people who had not been beaten were cleaning his whip wounds, and more than a dozen people gathered around him and said: "Hey, you shouldn't want to stand up, don't listen to that Ji Xia talking nonsense, what dare you do not dare to do it, what we will beat for you." Are you doing it for yourself? It's not for everyone, he said that just to make you morally unhappy, but if he talks about morality, where will he not give everyone winter clothes? Why do we use morality to restrain us, but we don't abide by it? ”

"If you don't even understand this, people don't have to admire you, you're a fool."

He smiled bitterly, thanked everyone a few words, touched his hot back, and said nothing.

It wasn't until Ze and the other twelve people came to see him that he whispered: "Brother Ze, a few days ago, I went to the school at night to listen to the class, and Ji Xia happened to be there that day, saying that there was an accident with the wheat planting at the farm, and he told us that we can't do anything in stone, and we have to deal with different things differently." ”

"Before leaving today, I told the truth, there are not many people in Yucheng now, and if you want to build Yucheng, you still have to rely on us, and there are people like us everywhere so that everyone begs them to hire us in order to survive, and even takes the initiative to ask for less money than this."

"I think we can still fight for it. If you lose this time, you must know why you are defeated, if you want me to say that it is not possible to rely only on this little person from our smelting division, even if we are all killed, it is only a few hundred people, and he will look for it again. Let's also ponder why we lost this time? Why should you trust Ji Xia to agree? If you want me to say, even in our hearts, we still feel that he is different from the leaders of those cities in the past, and we always feel that although he says that he is not a good person, he may not pity us in his heart...... Now I also see that it is useless to rely on people to be pitiful, even if he is pitiful, what will happen if he dies in the future? What if he leaves Yucheng? Hope that the next person will still pity us, pity our children? ”

Ze nodded, he didn't care about the whiplash on his body, this injury was nothing, and it would not be moldy and rotten in early winter.

"You haven't listened to your lessons in vain these days, and you haven't learned anything in vain. Tell me, what do you want to do? (To be continued.) )
