"You threaten me!" Chen Ming couldn't feel any bumps in his body as he heard Chen Yue's laughter.
Chen Yue said it very clearly. Be careful when walking at night, be careful when walking alone, and think you are more careful when sleeping at night. I can't beat you face to face now, and I will sooner or later die of contempt.
Chen Yue shook his hand and said, "Brother is joking, I can't threaten you! However, the cow belongs to my family, and I can't lead you to your family. If you dare, you can just go and hold me, I'll watch."
Chen Yue held the wooden stick, pointed at Chen Ming, and pointed at the cowshed.
"You..." Chen Ming pointed at Chen Yue and couldn't speak. Looking at Chen Miao hiding behind Chen Yue, gritting his teeth and glaring at him. Chen Yue stared at him with a smile. He didn't know what he should say.
Especially when Chen Yue looked at him, he looked like a wild bee, trying to bite him.
"When the clan meeting is held, it depends on what you say."
Chen Ming threw away a harsh word and left in shame.
Watching Chen Ming walk out of the door, Chen Yue put the wooden stick back into place. Then, he patted Chen Miao on the shoulder to relax.
"Do you know, why did he leave?" Chen Yue asked.
Chen Miao thought about it, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Chen Yue said earnestly: "To deal with such people, you must not only be ruthless in your face, but also be ruthless in your words. But at the same time, you must be ruthless in your people who are harmful to us, and you must not be ruthless in your people who are good to us. Remember?"
Chen Miao nodded in confusion.
Chen Yue smiled and said, "You definitely don't understand now, you will understand when you grow up. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me, even if you are already seventy-eighty, you can do it. Never make any decisions without authorization and do things based on your will."
"Brother, is this the end of this?" Sure enough, I learned and used it now. I just said that I didn't understand and asked, so I started asking.
"Definitely not." Chen Yue walked to the water tank, washed his hands, looked at Chen Wu, who was full of sorrow, and said with a smile: "You are waiting at home, I will go to the patriarch's house and completely resolve this matter."
"Dalang, why not..."
"No." Chen Yue interrupted Chen Wu's words and said, "Mother, we give in this time, and we will give in the future. In the end, we will give in. You give in, I give in, Xiao Miao give in, and our descendants will also give in. They will not be grateful for our concessions, they will only laugh at and look down on our family. From then on, our descendants will not be able to raise their heads, they will only be timid and polite to them, and in the end they will become tenants or servants of their family."
Chen Yue's words are not nonsense. This is how aristocratic families formed from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the middle of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, aristocratic families are power-supporting families. In ordinary places, they are clans in later generations. The entire feudal dynasty has more than two thousand years, and the imperial power does not fall into the county, which means that the clans are completely autonomous.
If the people living in the city are beaten and killed, the government can still ask questions. If the people living in the countryside are beaten and killed, the government may not ask questions as long as the clan successfully arranges a certain item for them to violate the clan rules.
Chen Yue comforted Chen Wu and led Chen Miao to the clan leader's house with him.
He still used the same trick and planned to call on a group of tribes along the way. However, he changed his approach. He had said that he was giving gifts before, but now he was talking about going to herd cattle.
"I heard that Chen Ming went to his house to ask for a cow. He was angry and left. He scolded him while walking, hehe." said the clan member A.
"Then why did he lead the cow out?" asked the clan member B.
"Just herding cattle, what else can I do?" said Clan C.
"Why are you going to herd cattle and you still lead me there? You obviously went to the clan leader's house." said the clan member.
"No way."
"Why can't it be? Look at the two brothers, they walked so fast and didn't let the cows eat grass. They obviously went to the patriarch's house to send cows and admit their mistakes. He definitely didn't want to let us see them like last time, for fear of being embarrassed, so he said he went to herd cattle."
Everyone agreed with the statement of this tribe and said they would go and have a look together. Most tribe members went to see the jokes, and only a few tribe members were dissatisfied with this and thought that the clan leader was too bullying. However, these few people were quickly suppressed by most people.
As soon as Chen Yue walked to the gate of the clan leader's house, he saw the clan leader coming out angrily. Chen Yue estimated that Chen Ming had just introduced the incident of being retaliated to the clan leader.
Looking at the tribe members not far away, Chen Yue lamented that it was just right. If he met a while later, he would meet halfway through, without witnessing the tribe members, he would not achieve the effect he wanted.
When the patriarch Chen Xiu saw Chen Yue leading the cow outside his door, he stopped and said coldly: "Do you still know how to lead the cow over! How long do I think you will be tough?"
Chen Xiu changed into a confused look and asked in a puzzled tone: "Class leader, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Chen Xiu said in a stiff tone: "Didn't you lead the cow to my house? What do you mean?"
"Class leader, do you want my cow?" Chen Yue grabbed the cow rope and took two steps back and said, "Class leader, are you going to steal my cow?"
"Who wants to steal your cow?" Chen Xiu glared with anger.
"No, even if you want to buy my cow, it won't work. My family has no labor and is relying on this cow to work. No, no." Chen Yue still shook his hand.
Chen Xiu was so angry that he walked to Chen Yue two or three steps. Dasheng shouted: "Don't steal your cow, nor do you buy your cow. He asked you to hand over the cow to the clan as a clan's property, and all the clan members can use it in the future. Besides, how can you plow the land if you only have one cow? If you put it in the clan, you can change the three cows to plow the land."
He looked around secretly and found that the tribe members were far away and hesitated. Chen Yue decided to add a fire and asked loudly: "This is my cow, why should I give it to your house?"
Chen Xiu was so angry that he raised his hand, and wanted to put his slap on Chen Yue's face. Seeing that there were tribe members around him, he put them down and said, "I didn't say I asked you to give the cow to my house, but I asked you to hand the cow to the clan, and everyone can use it."
Seeing the clan members approaching, Chen Xiu said with a kind look: "If you hand over the cow to the clan, with three cows, the clan members' plowing land is guaranteed by the cow power, and they can also pull the empty cows. The cow mill is much faster than your hand-push mill."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The crowd close to him nodded and thought that the patriarch was right. Although everyone had never seen a cow pulling mill, they didn't know if a cow could pull mill.
He also said: "If there is an extra cow, we will change to the plowing land, which will definitely be completed faster than other families. The tribes will not have that hard work. Planting early and harvesting early will definitely lead to better harvest. Besides, this is all for the tribe's people, not for me alone. We are a family and a tribe. All the useful ones in the tribe should be handed over to the tribe's unified management and distribution. Besides, if you use the tribe's waterwheel technique to help others, others will give you the plowing ox, so no matter what, you should hand the ox to the tribe."
He also looked around and asked, "Are you right?"
Oh my god, I also learned to kidnap public opinion, and I have to accept it.
"You keep the cow at home, not only will you lose one cow in the clan, but your family has not used a cow to plow the land." Chen Xiu was completely in the tone of his elders' admonition to his younger generation.
This logic completely made Chen Yue unable to refute, so he had to hand over the reins obediently. After the cow entered the clan's property, the priority would be the clan leader's family. At the same time, the clan leader's family built water trucks for others everywhere, which would definitely earn a considerable income, so that the clan leader's family would become richer and richer.
One day, when a sudden natural disaster or something happened, judging from the current harvest of most of the Chen clans, they would basically be trapped, or sell land and children or starve to death at home. At this time, the clan leader's family would definitely spend money to collect land and purchase slaves. Needless to say, the clan property would definitely become his family immediately.
This is how feudal landlords were cultivated.
After that, the tribe members were either his tenants or his slaves, and only his family was the master in the entire tribe. When wealth gathered to a certain extent and the original accumulation was completed, they would come out to take the initiative to donate porridge or do good deeds, and then expand to a certain extent, they would run schools and win the reputation of their ancestors and their descendants.
Of course, Chen Yue would not spoil them. When Chen Xiu quickly reached out to grab the reins, he was also ready to kidnap public opinion.
Chen Song did not release the reins, but turned to the clan members and said, "Since the clan leader said that, I agree more."
Chen Xiu laughed secretly, and everyone was worried.
Chen Yue continued: "When the clan leader says that the food harvested by all of our tribesmen should be given to the clan by the clan and distributed by the clan leader? After all, every time the clan leader arrives, he will notify us to go to the field to sow or harvest, and lend us the plowing ox for use. Are you right?"
After this statement, the tribe members shook their heads, and some people shouted "No".
"As the patriarch said, if there are important things, you have to hand over to the clan. Should you give some things from the clan to the clan? Everyone is taken care of by the clan!" Chen Yue saw that the clan members were pointing fingers. Some said no, and some said that Chen Yue's idea was wrong. He continued, "I have been studying how to plow the land with a cow. Of course, once it succeeds, it is impossible for my family to use only, and it will lend it to the clans to plow the land."
We can’t just sow discord, but we should give everyone good.
He turned around and said softly to Chen Xiu: "I heard that Brother Chen Ming went to various villages to build water trucks, but he made a lot of profits. When I was in Wangjiazhuang, the owner of the manor said, should he also tell the people of all ethnic groups and hand them over to the tribe to share them fairly with them?"
In fact, Chen Yue didn't know at all, he just scared Chen Xiu.
However, Chen Xiu was still frightened and released the reins and said, "Forget it if you don't want to hand it to the clan, why do you say so much?" Then he shouted to the clan members: "If you don't have this, the clan will not force your family's things. If you want to hand it over."
When he left, he did not forget to say to Chen Yue: "Study a ox to plow the land well, remember to use it for the tribe first."
