When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 355 It’s October again
It was winter in October of the third year of Qu's reign.

The Xin family's large forces gradually withdrew from the mountains.

Wu Zhonghu escaped with a large army, which greatly changed the war in the mountains.

Therefore, it only took two months for the front and back sweeps to be completed, and Xin and others left the mountain.

Xinqu obtained more than 6000 people through trading and captives, plus about [-] pre-sold slaves.

Wu Zhongmi made an agreement with Xin Qu that next year he would send two thousand slaves to Zunhua in exchange for salt, copper and other supplies.

Other tribes, including the Yu family, captured more than 4000 people.

As a result, in addition to the more than 6000 people who escaped with Wu Ending Fox in the mountains, there are now only a little over [-] left.

Most of these people ostensibly surrendered to Wu Zhongmi, but they still stayed in the valleys of various places.

There are only more than 5000 people who actually stay with Wu Zhongmi in Chengde.

But the number is no longer low.

Xin Qu arranged for Wu Zhongmi to build a city in the mountains and taught him some farming techniques.

As for the purpose, it is to tie them up.

Xinqu was not afraid of them building up the city, but was afraid of them running around.

The big city, Xinqu, and the city passes at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain are all for defense, but as long as they are assimilated into a tribe that focuses on farming and animal husbandry, it can, to a certain extent, force Wu Zhongmi and others to start thinking about how to Marching and fighting is the most economical way to save money.

In this way, many unnecessary wars will be avoided due to expenses, which will instead promote peace.

After stabilizing the northern part of the mountain, Xin Qu withdrew to Zunhua and held a meeting before resting for a few days.

Snake Hao also came to see Xin Qu.

She sent an invitation from the Yourong clan.

"In the middle of next summer, by the Qinshui River, a young man from the Xin family will be invited to take a bath."

After Snake Hao finished speaking to Xinqu, he said a little helplessly: "Chief Xinqu, please believe that I am also helpless.

The Changxin clan is gone now, and the Rong clan has finally had good weather in the past two years, so... Zhongxia's invitations started again.You have not yet had a wife, and you are still at that age. The invitation from above... you see..."

Xin Qu had no expression on his face.

On the other hand, there were several other Xin men nearby who were whispering, winking and smiling evilly.

The Yourong clan is mainly a matrilineal tribe.

Every three or five years, a midsummer bath is held.

In fact, it is a blind date event, where strong young men are selected from the four patrilineal tribes to borrow seeds.

Of course, in addition to borrowing seeds, it is also an opportunity to invite the leaders of the patriarchal tribe to communicate.

At this time, girls are always arranged to borrow seeds from these powerful people, and then give birth to a boy, who is usually brought to the age of five or six, and then the mother takes the boy to the tribe of the patriarchal leader.

In this way, the patriarchal power would either give the child dozens of slaves to act as a front, and turn him into a small tribal chief, thus enriching the strength of the Yourong clan in disguise.

Or, if the patriarchal authority suddenly brings a living one when he has no heirs, then the patriarchal authority will always be more inclined to cultivate this child.

Finally, if the patriarchal leader is old and other elders are unwilling to support the child, then the Rong clan will intervene to a large extent and help the child become the leader.

In this way, this child is the link between the two clans, and they must rely more on the Yourong clan.

Indirectly controlling a patrilineal tribe can also expand the power of the Yourong clan.

Therefore, Snake Hao was asked to find a way to invite Xin Qu to come over.

A person in power is still a young man. They have the beauties reserved by the Rong clan. Are they not afraid of seducing his soul?

Xinqu, on the other hand, held up his chin and said, "Have you read the laws of the Xin family? Although Yehe will not be punished, how will he be punished for having an illegitimate child?"

Xin Qu suddenly spoke, and Youjue, who was still discussing whether to go or not, immediately changed his expression and quickly shut up, not daring to discuss casually.

"This..." Snake chuckled, "Well, I just suggested it."

"The orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker." Xin Qu said calmly, "I have made so many rules to ensure that the inheritance of the Xin family is orderly.

You can go on a blind date, either by registering the marriage with the blessing of your parents, or by registering the marriage with an official media agency.

There is a Xin family who only recognizes marriages that have been registered.

Therefore, you should not mention this dirty move that mainly involves wild cooperation.

Now that the Xin family's moral code has been initially settled, many old and established rules are still rampant, and such measures to add fuel to the flames should not occur.

Reply to the Yourong family, I have the Xin family and I have my own way of doing weddings and funerals. I don’t care how you play or play with me, but if you really want to get married, then follow the rules of the Xin family, otherwise don’t mention it. Snake Hao's face darkened: "This is just a good intention." "

"Yes, I accept the good intention, but I don't recognize it, so the rules are set, and you must abide by them. If anyone creates an illegitimate child through wild marriage, don't blame me for ordering the title to be taken away to make up for the illegitimate child's status as a commoner."

Xin Qu glanced at the people around him: "Of course, if you report it yourself, you will only be demoted one level. If you are found out, you will be demoted to the third level starting from the third level, or even directly demoted to a slave. Remember, you must either register the marriage or marry him. The concubine in your household is giving birth. If you do it blindly, you will not only lose your life, but you will also lose your land and people."

After being warned by Xin Qu, everyone shrank their necks: "Yes!"

"Okay, if there's nothing else, sit back and continue the meeting."

Xin Qu waved his hand, and She Hao had no choice but to go back and sit down, and then Xin Qu continued: "Next year, there are two stage goals for the Xin family.

Increase land reclamation.This time, after the five or six thousand slaves return to Changping in the winter, I will order the distribution.

Of course, the number is still not enough. At this stage, except for the disabled clan members, each household can only be allocated one.

This is equivalent to dividing more than 2000 slaves.

The remaining more than 4000 slaves adopted a lottery method of voluntary registration.

If you want to get slaves in advance, you need to sign a military order with me.

For each additional slave assigned, more than thirty acres of land must be fully cultivated next year.In other words, as long as you choose to allocate more land, in addition to the regular training after autumn next year, as long as the scale of the war does not really require all-out deployment, the households of the slaves who are allocated more land will be mainly engaged in farming.

Of course, since it is a military order, it means that merit will be judged.

Those who cultivate the most land and pay the most taxes will be awarded titles according to regulations.

The Xin clan is a tribe that combines farming and war. In addition to war, there are also farmers who pay taxes and lose their titles. Now Shannan has no opponents, so our opponent is the granary. When will the three-year granary be filled? Only then will we find new development goals.

clear? "

Xin Qu calculated that there are currently more than 2000 households of common people and Chinese in the Xin family headquarters, with a population of more than 4000 people.

The rest were either naturalized or slaves.

Now there are no enemies in Shannan that need to be fought everywhere, so production will be the focus.

This also means that the size of the force does not need to be maintained so large and should be relaxed.

At the same time, it also gives naturalized people a chance.

And next, Xinqu will let those middle-aged men out. Their emotions are relatively stable, so they must arrange so many boys to restrain each other to prevent the naturalized people from causing trouble.

Therefore, the share of naturalized people can be increased.

Therefore, Xinqu wanted to take precautions against them, either by continuing the war and asking for slaves later, or by asking for slaves now and cultivating a sufficient share of land and turning over enough grain to complete the task next year in accordance with the provisions of the military order.

Of course, no matter how you choose, you must sign up voluntarily and the decision will be made by drawing lots.

Everyone exchanged looks and thought it was okay.

There is no compulsion, those who want to continue fighting on the battlefield, those who don't mind having slaves at this time, and those who want a wife and children to have a hot bed also have options.

Xin Qu would give priority to providing slaves to tribesmen who had lost their fighting ability, which was still a cover-up, but this also hindered Xin's momentum in disguise.

After all, if resources are not fully exploited, it is still not enough.

But ensuring that Xin's family doesn't collapse is Xin Qu's goal, and it's always good to be on the safe side.

"Okay, then go down and get busy. It's time to get married, and it's time to train. The winter solstice is coming soon.

I will return to preside over the sacrifices, and you, Wu Yi, will preside over the local sacrifices. "

Wu Yi nodded, he was the chief priest of the big city of Zunhua.

He is only responsible for worshiping ancestors on the winter solstice, worshiping Sheji on February [-]nd, and then performing some good weather sacrifices.

But it is the only thing that cannot be sacrificed to heaven.

Because the right to worship heaven was taken back by Xinqu, all temples could only offer sacrifices to famous or animistic gods according to the deities canonized by Xinqu.

And the heaven and earth, the sun, the moon and the stars, these high-status gods, are all in the hands of Xin Qu.

Every New Year's Day (the first day of the first lunar month), Xinqu had to represent all the Xin family members to sacrifice to the gods.

If Xin Qu is no longer there, he will be appointed by Xin Qu.

Either he is an elder of Zong Bo, or he is a hero of the Xin family.

However, local sacrifices are not allowed to exceed the specifications. Sacrifices that exceed the specifications are regarded as arrogant off-shore sacrifices. If one is found, he will be killed directly.

Some rights must be held tightly, and Xin Qu will not let them go easily.
