When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 195
This night, apart from eating, I just played.

Xinqu offered a reward and asked the tribesmen to compete in running, jumping, singing and dancing.

It's basically the same as before when building a city, but this time we don't give points, we give millet directly!

The yellow millet was put into the winner's sack one by one in front of everyone's eyes.

The cheers and glory are all sufficient.

In the end, we spent a night playing and eating all night long.

Xinqu sat by the bonfire, surrounded by tribesmen and foreigners.

When he had a rare free time to relieve himself, Shi Wu followed him: "Qu, if we don't bring other clan members with us, will it be..."

"Don't worry. They didn't participate. Each person gave them ten pounds of millet and one pound of bacon as a reward. I calculated the expenses so that they wouldn't be biased."

Xin Qu shook his hands, then looked at Shi Wu and said, "By the way, your boy is about to be weaned?"

"Well, it's almost eight months and I have to stop."

"There's no need to be so hasty, just gradually wean."

"Gradual?"

"Yes, gradually. Start feeding less milk at six months, and then increase the amount of porridge. At eight months, it's almost half and half, and then add more porridge and rice every seven days. It will almost stop at one year old."

Xinqu came to the ditch and dug it temporarily. After all, there were too many people now and he needed water to drink.

He knelt down and washed his hands, stood up and shook his hands, wiped his hands by his crotch, and then said: "Do you want to have a week when you are one year old?"

"Capture Zhou? What do you mean?" Shi Wu looked at Xin Qu strangely.

“When celebrating a child’s first birthday, relatives, friends and tribesmen give the child some gifts. The gift can be anything, such as a small dagger, a ball of wool, a doll, jade, etc., to express their gratitude and let the child grab what he likes.

Generally speaking, if you catch something, maybe the child will be more interested in these things in the future.

It may not be accurate, but everyone has a good idea.

Eight months... I can catch a week before spring next year. "

Xinqu said with a smile: "On your child's anniversary, I will give you a raw jade. A gentleman is like jade, which can be carved into a tool and is warm to the touch. As for what kind of jade the child wants to carve into in the future, it is up to him. It’s his choice.”

Shi Wu was stunned for a moment, feeling that Xin Qu seemed a little different, and felt that he was smiling more.

Shi Wu looked around and made sure there was no one else, then lowered his voice: "By the way, just tell me. When will you get married? Those old ladies in the clan are planning to match up You and Wu."

"Me? Well... Xiaoye is a nice girl." Xin Qu raised his eyebrows slightly, "But are they serious about the marriage between the patriarch and Wu? Are they not afraid of something happening?"

"You are actually no different from those hereditary clan leaders now." Shi Wu spread his hands and told the truth directly, "The clan is also used to it. Because everyone knows that although everyone can eat equally under the previous distribution method, It's really not efficient.

The clan has been in panic for a day because of the sudden lack of news about you, and they all know your importance.

That son of the Chang Xin family is not...forget it, let's not talk about him.It can only be said that many people in the Changxin Clan are envious of your existence, and they all hope that you can go to the Changxin Clan so that people at the bottom like them can live a better life. "

"Haha." Xin Qu laughed when he heard this, "It depends on everyone to run if the mountain falls. I am the clan leader of the Xin family, so I naturally hope that the Xin family can become stronger under my leadership.

But I went to the Changxin Clan. Can I lead the Changxin Clan?Let’s just say that I don’t have any prestige in the Changxin clan at all.

The reason why the clan listens to me is because I have brought food so that everyone can see it and feel at ease. This is all part of the prestige.

In the final analysis, people with the Xin family should rely more on themselves. If life in the west is difficult, then the Xin family can go to their relatives.

They are all one family, and no matter how hard things are done in the west, the nobles of the Changxin clan do not dare to directly send troops to capture them.

Because if they really come to take people, they are hurting the determination of the two races to unite.

When the time comes, they will definitely be the ones who betray the alliance and will only be ridiculed by everyone inside and outside.

If we remain unmoved and just build ourselves up to be strong, all the collateral will come from all directions.As the saying goes, if you are poor in the busy city and have no one to care about you, if you are rich in the mountains you have distant relatives.

Heaven's plan is to strengthen oneself.

We have the Xin family who are stable and wealthy. When our relatives come here, they become common people. They can share the land and get a place to live. I can also provide a certain amount of food to ensure that they survive the winter.It can help the most vulnerable people, such as the elderly and children, completely escape famine.

All this is because we have food, so we are no different from Zi. There is no need to be ignorant of Zi. If we use it well, he can also be our assistant.

Let his people continue to brag about the goodness of the Changxin clan. As long as they see the living environment of the Changxin clan with their own eyes, the clansmen will naturally wake up.

Go up to the army and attack the enemy's soldiers without fighting.

I trade grain to prevent them from exploiting their lower-class tribesmen. Once I ban the grain trade, they will immediately have civil strife. After all, Shanxi has no grain and will not give them much if it does. He still has to rely on us. .

So they are nervous about our infiltration and afraid that we will cut off trade.

But we are not afraid of this. As long as we adjust the distribution of food, there will basically be no problem.

Besides, the real difficulty is not this winter, but the spring famine next year.

But I have a way to solve this, and the preparations for winter will start soon.Next spring, we will have a small pasture to maintain, and we can start harvesting around summer. This means that we can perfectly avoid spring shortages and summer floods.

However, I have never been a superstitious person in planning, so I try to ensure the safety of every link as comprehensively as possible.

In addition to contacting the Changxin clan during this winter's military exercises, I also plan to grab as many big ones as possible.

There must be pressure to completely combine Changxin and Youxin. If the white-haired wind comes in the grassland, this opportunity will come.Even if you don't come, you can still start a war between Hijikata and our two families.

As long as the Rong clan blocks Hijikata's attack, Hijikata will surely march eastward to find reinforcements from the Changxin clan, attacking both vertically and horizontally.

The worst thing is that the grassland people and the earth will merge into one. Of course, it may also be a melee between various tribes.

At that time, we will not be the main force. We will adapt to the situation. It is best to fish in troubled waters and find ways to recruit some small groups of escapees. Those from the grassland are better at grazing. It happens that there is no farming in the east for the time being, so let them go to grazing. To add Our future meat supply. "

Xin Quhe said, Shi Wu listened thoughtfully.

But in fact, neither of them saw it. Downstream of the ditch, a group of Changxin elders heard it clearly.

They looked at each other in confusion, and after a while they said: "What do you think is happening to the children of this generation? Why are they so obsessed with each other?"

"I think what Xin Qu said is right. People keep talking about merging, but the only one who is really willing to merge is the Xin family. They are really willing to re-accept us. It's just those damn nobles! They would rather squeeze us than Let us go."

"But... what can be done? This Xinqu himself is not a noble? He doesn't change! The only one in the Xin family who doesn't change!"

"But those with the Xin clan can rise through the ranks by virtue of their military exploits! Xin Qu earned these titles by himself, and they have contributed to the clan. Shouldn't they be given the treatment they deserve?"

"Yes, if others can be promoted, so can we. Is it worse for us to have the Xin family than to have the Xin family? If you admit it, it won't be a shame!"

"..."

The old people were silent and had different thoughts.

Why did Xin Qu pick up old people, children and women?

Because old people have a lot on their minds.

Years of life experience have given them a wealth of experience.

When faced with an environment suitable for thinking, they can easily make choices for the sake of future generations of their clan.

You Xin was busy, but today's reward, Xin Qu's generosity, basically confirmed that You Xin's food was astonishing.

Living in such a tribe has a better future and security!

"Even if it's not for us old men, we have to think about our descendants! Is there really a future for the Changxin clan? Think about it!"
