Having said that, Chen Jian could only thank him for winning the victory and receiving support from more than ten cities led by Sucheng. Yesterday's words were undoubtedly worth it.

This is also related to the geographical location of Xiacheng. If the distance between Xiacheng and Sucheng is very close, this kind of support will never appear, because although Xiacheng has a small population, it is temporarily in the leading position in terms of technology, which is also a kind of strength that must be considered in the game.

Furthermore, there are several clans at the intersection of Caohe and Dahe, which are in different systems and are still quite powerful. Therefore, they do not like Su Yue as the leader. This contradiction is temporarily suppressed, but one day it will erupt.

Xiacheng seemed to be used as a knife, but having the qualification to be used is also an affirmation of itself in a sense, so Chen Jian was quite content. How big the bowl and how much food he had, an unknown clan wanted to become the leader of dozens of cities and towns, which was a foolish dream.

Chen Jian raised the wine bottle and said to him: "It is impossible to make Xia Cheng sacrifice his ancestors with his relatives again, even the jade of a mountain cannot be compared. Xia remembered the words of the leader Su Yue."

"Ji Xia is polite. Since more than ten surnames in Xiacheng have also moved from Dahe, of course they are qualified to join the alliance. Besides, they have made contributions in the northwest. I am just thinking about the entire Dahe relatives. There is no need to thank me, if you want to thank you, I would like to thank the ancestors of heaven and earth."

Su Yue drank a glass and said leisurely: "Ji Xia was teaching in the school a few days ago. Although I didn't listen to things in the city because I handled things in the city, many people in Sucheng praised Ji Xia. I heard Su He talk about Xiacheng before, and I always felt a little hesitant in my heart. I thought that how could a baby of less than twenty know so much? Now it seems that there are really people in the world who are favored by ancestors who know everything after being born."

"Chief Su Yue was joking."

Su Yue shook his head and said, "It's just Ji Xia, in my opinion, you are still a little young. We are not talking about these words as the leaders of two cities, but only as the chiefs of relatives. Although the leaders of relatives are brothers, I am older after all, and some things are not something that our ancestors can explain to you clearly. Are you willing to listen to?"

Chen Jian nodded hurriedly and said, "Please give me some advice."

"Ji Xia talked about how to plow the fields, plant, yarn, calendar, and count shapes in the palace, these are all excellent, but there are some things you shouldn't talk about."

"For example, how to fight, how to manage slaves, how to manage population distribution work, if you talk about these things, people think they can work hard without wanting to work hard, how can cities be managed? Leading the army requires only one leader, and thousands of soldiers, and everyone wants to be the leader, how can they fight?"

"These words were not said by me alone, but many leaders talked to me about this... They didn't say what you said was wrong, but they all thought you were very young and didn't say some things. In a city, dozens of people who work hard, thousands of people who work hard, and some things, as long as they are circulated among people who work hard, it's not good to say them to those who should work hard."

"When a group of sheep has only one head sheep, they can eat grass leisurely without being confused; if any sheep wants to be the head sheep, how can they resist the attack of the wolf pack in the inner horns?"

Chen Jian pretended to be frightened and asked, "Are those leaders angry? Or is Xia too stupid... I would like to ask Chief Su Yue to take me to apologize to them later..."

Su Yue laughed and waved his hand, "Sit down, there is no need to be this, it's just that you are still young and don't understand some things. Although Ji Xia already has a woman, I guess Ji Xia has no descendants, right?"

“Not there.”

"Yes, there are some things that you cannot understand without children. For example, if you lead a army to fight, you only need to understand one person and you can defeat the enemy with the city. In this case, why doesn't Ji Xia choose to let your descendants know and others don't know?"

"This is not harmful to cities. First, your descendants learn from you and can also defeat the enemy with cities; second, birds have wings, fish have fins, and those who are tired of their hearts are like birds, and their sons must have wings. Even if you teach a group of fish to fly, can they fly?"

"The leaders of Ji Xia objected to these things. There was no one here. I would tell you more clearly. They also have children. This is like a bricklayer's stone knife and a carpenter's flat ruler. It cannot be easily shown to others. You are young and have no descendants, so everyone doesn't care. Just let me tell you, and you don't have to keep it in your heart. Do you understand?"

Chen Jian pondered for a moment before nodding slowly and said, "I understand, I am still too young and have not considered it thoroughly. Thank you for your reminder."

Seeing Chen Jian accepting happily, Su Yue smiled and said, "It's good. It's nothing. Many leaders are your uncles by age. Xiacheng has just walked out of the cave to establish a city, and everyone did not blame you. You hand over the method of flying with wings to everyone. No matter whether they have wings or not, they all think that they can fly, and the world will collapse. You Xiacheng people say that it is difficult to achieve a circle without rules. Those who work hard work hard, and those who work hard work hard will not be easy forever. This is the biggest rule..."

"I didn't need to teach you these things. When you have children, you will naturally understand them."

Chen Jian hurriedly smiled and said, "I still have to thank the leader Su Yue. I wanted to go west, but I went east. If no one advised me, I would look back until I saw the sea. Someone would give me some advice, but I could go back in just 30 or 50 miles. How could this be the same?"

The two laughed for a while, and Chen Jian asked again: "Captain Su Yue must have many descendants, right?"

"I'm much better than you in this. When I was as old as you, I had six children and raised four. After that, I gave birth to many more, now more than twenty sons and more than ten daughters."

Chen Jian praised again: "As the wise leader of Su Yue, his children must be unique, extremely intelligent, and brave."

Su Yue shook his head and smiled, "How can everyone do this? Although they are all my bloodlines, there are also smart people and stupid people. The smartest one is not as old as you think, but it is far inferior to Ji Xia. To put it bluntly, after hearing about Xia Cheng, I sighed that I should be like Ji Xia in giving birth."

"It's a pity that although he is smart, he has not experienced the suffering of his ancestors in the thorns to build a city of Sucheng; although he is brave, he has not experienced the spirit of fighting among thousands of troops. Alas, although I know, how can I bear to let him experience everything I have experienced? For example, today, hunting animals and hunting birds, drinking and drinking royal women... Although the city has done a few things well, it is still far behind those old people back then."

Although there seemed to be a bit of blame in his tone, the pride and love in it came out slightly as soon as he heard it. Chen Jian hurriedly received: "Hey, there was no well in Xiacheng, so we had to drink water into the river hundreds of steps away. We have all experienced it, but when my child is born, can we not let him go to the river to pick up water? This is exactly the purpose of Su Yue's hard work. Isn't the hardships and thorns that our generation has experienced just to prevent the child from experiencing it?"

"Besides, drinking and having fun is not a bad thing; playing with women is also to increase the bloodline of their offspring; pulling Huang Qingcang is nothing more than the courage in the war that is difficult to vent his heart."

"Chief Su Yue also said that the city has not been damaged. I believe that everyone in the city is convinced. What's wrong with this?"

Su Yue laughed and said, "Ji Xia, you praised too much."

Chen Jian bowed and said, "These praises are not because of him, but to thank the leader Su Yue. If it weren't for the recommendation of leader Su Yue, I'm afraid Xia Cheng wouldn't know when he would return to his relatives. The gratitude his father deserved would naturally turn into praise for his son."

"This morning, the leader Su Yue sent a lot of gifts. Unfortunately, there is no jade in Xiacheng. Even if there is jade, it cannot be carved and polished on jade that is harder than gold and copper. There is nothing to be used as a gift, and I can only give it back some small bronze ware. I must hand it to the leader Su Yue in person, so that I can repay my relationship with Xiacheng."

Su Yue stood up and returned and said, "Ji Xia said that he was modest. Although there was no jade in Xiacheng, there were many good things in Xiacheng, and many of them were unprecedented in other cities. The bronze ware in Xiacheng was excellent. I heard Su He said that when the Xiacheng sacrifices, copper was used as flowers. Looking at the Dahe relatives, I am afraid that no second clan has this ability."

The two of them were polite, and Chen Jian walked out and quietly made a gesture of six to the Xiacheng people waiting outside. The Xiacheng people immediately raised the big boxes, but Su Yue looked at the remaining boxes and was slightly ecstatic, not knowing who the remaining boxes were to be given to.

Xiacheng's box is very beautiful and exquisite, but it does not attract Su Yue. He recalled Chen Jian's whereabouts these days, and was a little uncertain whether Chen Jian had any connection with the other clans.

It was not until the box was carried in and the flash of light shining after the lid was opened, making the room look much brighter, Su Yue looked at the utensils in surprise.

The utensils in the first box should look like bronze utensils, but the color of these bronze utensils is not purple, but yellow and orange, extremely bright, and there is no darkness and mottled like bronze, which is a bit dazzling under the candlelight.

The vessels in the second box were bright grayish white, and Su Yue could not describe what should we say about this vessel that "glitters with bright metallic luster", but in short, it is very beautiful. This is a color that Su Yue had never seen before. Looking at the vessel that can reflect after careful polishing, it is natural to feel its preciousness.

The first box is a brass alloy vessel, which uses a kind of experience in Chen Jian's previous life that transcends time and space, namely, metals such as faucets, copper screws, and copper-zinc alloys.

The second box is lead-tin wine utensils and tableware. The treatment is not very good. Some places have been oxidized, but some places are still very bright. The color of heavy metal lead is still very strange in this era.

The smelting of brass is not technically difficult for Xiacheng. Most ores also form associated ores with copper, lead, tin, etc.

The reason why metal zinc appeared late in the previous life was not that it was difficult to reduce, but because metal zinc would vaporize and evaporate at 6 or 700 degrees, so it was difficult to obtain in copper smelting furnaces.

Chen Jian used the clever method of his ancestors in his previous life to heat and reduce the zinc ore and charcoal in a ceramic pot that seals only small pores instead of using a copper furnace. The reduced zinc evaporates and condenses, and remains in the ceramic pot. If the sealed ceramic pot is smashed, it can obtain zinc.

The color of zinc-copper alloy is bright and not easy to rust. It is not pure copper purple or bronze black color, but similar to golden yellow. It looks very beautiful and is naturally expensive in this era.

In addition to leaving some medals to be made for Xiacheng in the future, most of the remaining ones will be brought as gifts.

As for another box of lead utensils, it is much easier to cast lead than copper.

Chen Jian pointed to the box of utensils that had been used for a long time to lead poisoning and said, "I need to carry my jade with others to give me peaches and plums."

"The leader Su Yue asked everyone in Xiacheng to return to his relatives. These vessels could not be repaid, but this was the best gift Xiacheng could bring out. These vessels were produced in Xiacheng, but none of Xiacheng could afford them. Please accept them."

"As for the other box, please serve as a ritual vessel for sacrifice, bright and rust-free, which the ancestors will like, and this is also the only one in Xiacheng."

Su Yue liked it and nodded repeatedly: "The craftsmen in Xiacheng are indeed good methods. I never saw these things even when the clan was at its peak many years ago! Beautiful! What I received these gifts was just this box for ceremonial instruments... not very suitable."

Chen Jianqi said: "What, is it because of this bad?"

"It's not bad, it's too good, so it can't be used. Ji Xia has never seen a real sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sac

"I haven't seen it before."

"What worships the ancestors of God is only in the heart, not the instrument itself. This is a rule that you don't know. Delicious wine should be left for the living, and water should be used for those who are dedicated to the gods. As long as the ancestors of God know their hearts, it is good; beautiful utensils should also be left for the living, and what is dedicated to the ancestors can only be used by the living..."

Chen Jian listened in a daze for a long time, as if he understood the weirdness, but Su Yue was still explaining, with a serious expression, revealing a very mysterious smell. (To be continued.)
