In the end, the national characters left on the snow are the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Great River, not the three-hundred-mile city outline of the Xia City surnames, which is destined to require more people's support and participation in the dream of the Xia Kingdom.

But that dream seems a little too far away these days.

The conspirators fled, leaving everyone with a summer city of fragmentation, ethnic hatred, collapsing currency, and grassroots chaos.

A large number of over-issued currencies make the currency meaningless in Summer City; The clan hatred that was stirred up made those who survived the turmoil resentful of each other; If you want to recover the public property that has been divided, it will offend many people......

Counting the slaves, from May to the end of the year, nearly 1,000 people died in the Xia City system, more than 110,000 acres of land were left uncultivated, and 300 ploughing cattle died due to lack of forage and war.

These deaths were not final, and more than 400 conspirators and supporters fled to the grasslands, carrying a large number of slaves and slaves. These people are sure to kill a group to bear these losses and appease the hatred of the people. And they took away more supplies such as horses, copper, and cattle.

More than 900 people from Old Xia City fled into the mountains and forests to the east and did not dare to come out because they were involved in the whirlpool and feared the punishment after Chen Jian returned.

Fortunately, these losses can still be borne by the Xia Kingdom's family foundation, and it will not be difficult to maintain.

For those who followed Jian Chen to build a city from scratch, spring is coming soon, Ji Xia is back, and everything will be fine if you survive it.

The credibility of the clan is bankrupt, but Jian Chen's credibility remains; Winter is coming, spring is near, and there is hope.

On December 26, the grassroots officials of Chen Jian's fiefdom returned to Xiacheng, met with the young officials who followed Chen Jian back from Yucheng, and set up the management of Xiacheng.

The soldiers began to search the fugitives' homes for all the utensils and food, and all those who could read and count counted the losses and gains.

On the 27th, Chen Jian was elected by all the people still in Xia Cheng to be the leader of the autocracy and the prime minister of all affairs large and small at the city meeting.

Subsequently, Chen Jian issued eight orders in the name of the dictatorial leader.

"From December 27, the 35th year of the Chinese calendar, to the Huaizi Festival next year, Xia Cheng adopted a strict rationing system and a labor distribution system."

"All the currency is withdrawn, and any Xiacheng citizen can go to the Planning and Statistics Department to declare the amount of his currency before May, and a special person will review and declare the source of all copper coins before May."

"Confiscate all the land and wealth of the fugitives as public property."

"With the exception of the conspirators and their followers, any dispute goes back only to the time of the mill fight. All the old Xia City people who did not flee with the conspirators will not be held accountable for the blood debt after the mill fight if they return to Xia City before February, and all this should be borne by the conspirators. ”

"All the peasants, slaves, and wild people who participated in the uprising to expel the conspirators have the status of nationals, and all the new nationals before the mill brawl have their status."

"All wild clans, settlement leaders, fiefdom lords and village leaders who have not participated in the rebellion must go to Xia City by February."

"By February, Ji Xia will retract his position as Sikou and judge the punishment of the conspirators at his discretion."

"The National People's Council will be convened in early February to improve the rules of the city, distribute land and property, evaluate knights, select officials, and reform the military system."

After the Eight Orders were issued, more than 200 garrison riders were immediately mobilized from Yangguan, and they went to the vicinity to find the fleeing Xiacheng people and announce the new order. It is solemnly warned that if you do not return to Summer City before February, you will be deemed to have voluntarily renounced your national status, and your property and land will not be confiscated and you will not be eligible to participate in the distribution of new public property.

These orders and efficient Yucheng-like management temporarily suppressed the chaos within Xia City, but it was only a temporary peace after the extreme chaos.

Everything needs time to be smoothed out, there are too many things to do, boring and boring.

Near the end of the year, several people came to the door of the council and asked to see Jian Chen.

Four or five men, some of whom were supposed to be from Xinxia City, a woman holding a one-year-old child, followed by two slightly older children.

The man at the front pulled out an old birch bark, a bronze sword, and a pottery ornament that symbolized Rise's authority.

Chen Jian took the bark, and the charcoal strokes on it were still clear, but there was a trace of blood.

Several children next to him were crying, and Jian Chen sighed and asked, "Is this a child of Muma?" ”

"Hmm."

He waved his hand and motioned for the woman who was helping with the child to lead the child out first.

"Where's the casua?"

"Committed suicide. Death in front of us, before dying, begged us to take care of the child, and return the painting and the child to Ji Xia. ”

"What day?"

"December 18."

On December 18, when Chen Jian was dragging time along the Grass River, he looked down at the bark painting, his hands trembled slightly, but he still held back after all.

There are too many tragedies like this, and Casa has left a good impression on him, but how many people are there who don't?

After a long time, he asked, "Why?" ”

"If he didn't kill himself, he would have died. He took my brother and my brother was buried alive. Eighteen that night, I wanted to kill him with my own hands, but his woman was very sick, I relented and lied to her that Ji Xia was back, and my heart said not to kill him in front of the woman. ”

As a result, his woman did not survive and died. When he came out, Ji Xia's rider had already arrived in the city, and told us that we were not allowed to commit suicide without permission, otherwise everything would be dealt with according to the rules, and also said that the rebels would bear the responsibility of the rebels before and the rest would be punished less. ”

Jian Chen nodded blankly, and only after a while did he ask, "Didn't he know that I was coming back?" Didn't he hear that?

"Yes. He said...... The right and wrong in the heart cannot be judged by a sentence of innocence in the rules. ”

For a long time, Jian Chen waved his hand weakly and said, "I know, let's go." ”

After those people left, Jian Chen came alone to the place where the orphans of the chaos were held, from the beginning of the battle in Xia City to the previous turmoil, leaving more than 400 orphans of all sizes.

In the aftermath of this upheaval, many lactating women were transferred here to care for orphans who were still in infancy.

A few years ago the clan was still there, and every child was raised by the clan.

After the clan was dismantled, there were orphans.

After the advent of marriage and family, children continue to follow the established mother and become part of the new male-dominated family.

Some mothers who did not remarry died of illness, and the children under the maternal blood had no place to return, and the clan was unwilling to raise them and was not allowed to raise them, so they could only rely on the public property of the city to raise them.

After the advent of marriage and family, the number of orphans began to increase.

First of all, there was the pension system in Xiacheng, and the children of the clansmen who died in battle were raised by the city. Men gradually became the main force of labor and warfare, gathering was reduced to a thing that existed in the past, and the status of women gradually decreased. Many children who remarry in the past have become oil bottles for non-biological blood relations, and public property support can encourage women to remarry and have children to increase the population.

While many women were still able to work and live on their own with the welfare of the country, many children born out of wedlock could be raised in the cities when it was difficult to raise, thus encouraging a rapid population increase, but the number was not large.

Then there is the sensual thing called love, which is rare but not non-existent, when a woman does not choose to remarry after a man dies in battle, but goes to a nursing home to take care of her children.

This is the most neglected part of a city, and even if the people are well-welfare, even if the city is small and well-managed, and there is no abuse or the like, these children are much more miserable than the rest of the children.

When Jian Chen walked in, several older children were fighting there, two women trying their best to hold on, and a few girls crying on the side. The older children, who had already gone to school, respectfully called Ji Xia.

The woman who took care of the child was not afraid of Jian Chen, nor did she hide the most beautiful movements in the world because of her shyness, but nodded slightly with Jian Chen, and gently patted the child who was choking on milk.

He walked in, hung the bark painting of no man, woman, only child on the wall, and turned to leave.

Two days later, a piece of wooden tablet was sent to the nursing home and hung with the painting.

There are two big characters written on the wooden tablet, and there are eight small characters below: for the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest.

This was followed by an arbitrary order from the chief.

"All orphans are raised by the state. Since childhood, he has taught the art of the short sword of the military chariot and war horse, and he is called an orphan in the feather forest, and the leader is directly under the government, thinking that he is a close servant. ”
