Chapter 53 The False Leader
For thousands of people who have been captured and slaves by alien races and do not know their fate, there is no word that makes them cry more than the four words "Let's go home".
At the most helpless moment, they remembered the vague words of the family unity. At the moment when the exchange was completed, this sentence was extremely clear in their minds, and there seemed to be nothing more like a truth than this.
I have felt it, so I know it is moved, so I am clear and blurred.
More than 10,000 people were released crying with joy behind the hills, hugging each other, holding the hands of everyone who saw Xiacheng people and saying thanks, and telling their previous fears and sufferings to the stranger now family.
These feelings reached the extreme after Chen Jian's sensational and artificial speech. It was a promise to bring everyone home and the best publicity drama.
When night fell, the emotions and passion brought by the day gradually faded away, these people finally began to consider their future lives with their gradually clear minds.
The home was destroyed and nothing was left. The Dongyi people plundered everything they had accumulated for several years, leaving only a piece of ruins.
It is late autumn now, and those unattended crops must have been eaten by countless animals in the jungle. Why can you survive this winter even if you go back?
All the top figures in the clans were detained by the Dongyi people. These people were in a clueless chaos and did not know what to do in the future.
Before the emergence of various metal tools in Xiacheng, the organizational form of the city was centered on the clan, and everyone worked together to fight against nature with simple tools. With the emergence of surplus agricultural products, the emergence of slaves and the division between the rich and the poor, but overall it could not support the existence of self-cultivated farmers.
Xiacheng has taxes, but the rest of the cities do not, but in another form, such as public land and spontaneous military service, the construction of the city's rights is completed.
The rich people in the clan used more slaves to ensure that they would gain more slaves on their expeditions and gained natural dominance, and the clans were already used to this method.
However, all of this has been swept away now, not a long change, but a momentary vacuum of power. People need to organize, even in the cave era, someone needs to be the leader, but now these people cannot even find a person who can convince the public.
If you want to convince the public, you must first solve the most basic problems faced by thousands of tribesmen, how to survive this winter. It is too difficult for anyone and no one can do it.
The clan of Fengcheng was broken up, and the leader Feng Zhuo was still there. At least someone could consider it for them, but Feng Zhuo had nothing but the trust of the clan, and these trusts were about to disappear when winter came.
The other city is much more miserable, and they don’t even have a leader. Now there is still a bowl of rice to eat, but the food belongs to the people of Xiacheng. Even though the leader of Xiacheng said that the family was integrated, he had rescued relatives who suffered from floods last year, what should he do in the future?
When everyone was at a loss, some rumors gradually spread among the crowd, and these rumors seemed to break through the lightning in the night, giving these people an inspiration.
Early the next morning, thousands of people from another city gathered spontaneously, chatting with each other in a low voice they heard at night, and waiting for something nervously.
After Chen Jian appeared from the simple hut, thousands of people shouted in unison: "Please take the position of leader temporarily!"
This is not a helpless choice, it is what many people say in their hearts. It’s just that no one reminded them to not expect them before the rumors broke out.
Their leader was not dead, nor was he exiled by everyone for his crimes. On the contrary, their leader and his clan relatives were serving as hostages in Dongyi in order to ensure the implementation of the alliance and this exchange.
Even though Chen Jian called out many words like the oneness of the relatives, thousands of people still did not have the habit of choosing a person who was not the clan as the leader. Even if this person rescued them from the Dongyi, it would not change his usual habits. This is a deeply rooted thing.
The rumors were released by Chen Jian, and the name was also thought of by Chen Jian, so he could smoothly bypass those deeply rooted things and get the rights he wanted.
The temporary prefix can solve many things, which not only conforms to everyone's way of thinking, but also holds power in your hands, and integrates these people into the Xiacheng system while winter is coming.
After thousands of people's calls, Chen Jian walked up to everyone and said, "Since the relatives trust me, how can I refuse? It's winter soon. If there is no leader leading you, how can you spend this winter?"
"Your leader is worthy of Dongyi, and it will take at least three years. But people cannot live for three years without land or food. How to cultivate and harvest Xiacheng is different from your city, but I have only been the leader of Xiacheng, so you may have some changes."
Of course these people know the difference between Xiacheng, but they also know that Xiacheng people live better than most of them. Even if they can get better, why do they have to hold on to the old things?
Seeing that everyone did not object, Chen Jian was silent for a moment and said, "Since you are not afraid of change, I hope everyone will agree to me. In the years when I temporarily served as the leader, I will give me arbitrary power. If you do not agree with me, you can depose me together, but before deposing me together, my arbitrary power will be recognized and agreed to by all of you."
The people below did not object, but just asked: "Can Ji Xia make us live as good as the people in Xiacheng?"
Chen Jian laughed and said, "The lives of Xiacheng people did not fall from the sky, but were made through labor. Whether they live well or not, the leader can tell you how to do it, but in the end it depends on you. But at least one thing, you can live better than before, and at least you don't have to worry about the Dongyi people plundering you."
This promise is not much, it is very thin, but it is like a mountain for those who have just experienced those suffering.
Chen Jian did not explain Xia Cheng's power organization, which was obtained after the struggle at the bottom of Xia Cheng, and it was not clear at all for a while, so he only demanded an arbitrary right.
Children grow up in the school every year, and they can replace the old clan relatives and nobles and use a new authority to govern these people.
Xiacheng's rules were not perfect, and it was still in a special division. How to deal with these people? This requires that the civil strife be completely calmed down and an answer was given to everyone at the National People's Congress.
With the people of this city, the establishment of a new Huayi, and the end of the civil strife in Xiayu, a new, different from a separate city, called the country will gradually appear in the thinking of the people, and a new administrative unit controlled by a strict bureaucracy from top to bottom will become another model and attempt.
After these thousands of people made their choice, Feng Zhuo realized that it was time for him to express his opinion.
He was very familiar with Chen Jian, and his tribe members were also familiar with Xiacheng people. The power struggle two years ago was intervened by Xiacheng people. After that, many Xiacheng people stayed in Fengcheng until Fengcheng was captured by the Dongyi people.
But now he only has a dozen guards who escaped with him, and there is no complete system of managing tribesmen. Moreover, he has nothing but the position of the leader.
Chen Jian did not force him, but Feng Zhuo himself knew that it was impossible to return to Fengcheng's hometown. When he went there, everything would start over and there was no support. He would kill half of his tribe members in one winter.
So he found Chen Jian and cried, saying that Fengcheng was like a silkworm and was willing to entrust this tree in Xiacheng, hoping that Chen Jian would help Fengcheng for the sake of his relatives.
