Chapter 50: Eliminating the Three Evils in Ancient Times
Han Da only felt a gust of cold wind behind his head, followed by a chill on his neck. Before he could even make a sound, his head had already fallen to the ground.
The Xuanhua Axe swung by Feng Qi cut off his neck, which was nailed to the door panel with fresh blood, and was still shaking and clanging.
Everyone held their breath as they watched Han Da fall to the ground twice.
Luo Jiu covered Xiao Shitou's eyes with his hands, waved his hand, and told someone to clean the door in a normal tone.
Datian cleared his throat and continued the spring ploughing meeting.
Primitive people are carrying out the first large-scale sowing in human history, and the four are hunting frantically in preparation for returning to the modern era.
After the autumn harvest, Datian went out to contact some primitive tribes again. The population doubled, and Chang'an Town was really about to become Chang'an City.
The four of them drove a car and carried bows and arrows from Chang'an to the Mongolian Plateau. They had mastered archery to perfection, and the prey in the space piled up like mountains.
When winter came, they returned to Chang'an, and they were still 800 prey short of upgrading immediately.
In just a few months, Chang'an has changed again.
New houses were built in rows, the number of vegetable gardens increased to six, two wells were dug, a city wall was built, and lookouts were set up on all four sides.
A plaque hung high above the city gate, with the two big characters "Chang'an" inscribed on it.
The two soldiers guarding the gate must be new arrivals. They were unfamiliar faces and none of the four had seen them before.
Luo Jiu leaned his head out from the passenger seat and was about to introduce himself, but the soldier spoke first, "Second mother, you're back?"
He said to the people beside him, "Go and tell the leader that the four goddesses are back!"
Luo Jiu was curious about how he knew her. When the car drove in, she saw a huge painting hanging in the pavilion in the middle. It was a sketch of the four of them.
Datian got the news in the stone pit, rode back on his horse, jumped off his horse, and threw himself into Feng Qi's arms, "You're back!"
Datian had her hair tied up in a neat bun. She wore a linen top, trousers, a short skirt made of deerskin, sheepskin shoes, and a 40-centimeter-long steel knife tied to her belt. It was a sharp weapon Feng Qi had given her before, and she carried it with her every day.
If Datian were to travel to the modern era with this attire, she would probably be mistaken for a girl from a minority ethnic group, and would not look like a primitive person at all.
She held Feng Qi's hand affectionately and said, "I miss you guys so much. If you don't come back, I'll go find you."
Datian choked up as she spoke. Feng Qi had shallow eye sockets and patted her head, her eyes also turning red.
Luo Jiu quickly broke the atmosphere and deliberately teased: "Okay, okay, you are the lord of a city, why are you still crying like a child?
Everyone is watching, you two can collect some water, there is no shortage of water here."
Datian came over and held Luo Jiu's hand, saying aggrievedly: "I just miss you, everyone misses you. Did you see the painting at the door? It was drawn by my third sister. It looks pretty similar, right?"
"Resemble," Zhong Jialing said with a smile, "but it's a pity that it's just a sketch. If you don't know, you might think we are that dark."
Everyone went into the house, talking and laughing. Datian closed the door and asked, "How long can you...stay?"
Luo Jiu said: "We still need 700. We will have to stay for another two months. We will have to go back during the Chinese New Year."
Datian nodded. "There are 964 people in the city now. Excluding pregnant women, children, and people guarding their posts, there are at least 800 people who can participate in the hunt. If you need, take these 800 people with you. It should be possible to kill enough in half a month."
When Datian thought about the decreasing time he had to spend with them, he quickly added, "But can you stay a little longer? There will be a legislative meeting before the New Year to select leaders for nearby village and town construction.
I have added a lot of clauses, and the situation may be very tense. Can you stay with me until the end of the meeting?"
Cheng Yaoyao looked at Datian's pleading eyes and gently held her hand. "Okay, don't be afraid. We will definitely accompany you through this difficult time before we leave."
The four of them had always thought that Datian was a little uneasy and asked them to stay until the Legislative Council. But when the day of the Legislative Council really arrived, Luo Jiu discovered that Datian deliberately kept them until that time to reassure them.
The main purpose of this legislative session is to inform everyone of the contents of the new provisions.
With more and more people, township construction has been included in next year's construction plan.
Relying on Chang'an City, breeding bases and planting bases were built nearby, and some small tribes were responsible for their permanent supervision and operation. The tribal leaders reported to Chang'an regularly, handed in their results, and received means of production and living supplies, etc.
The constitution stipulates that this reporter must be a woman, that is, the first leader of the tribe must be a woman.
This law was enacted by Datian to further consolidate the matriarchal social system and ensure that women always have a say in the tribe and the right to distribute the means of production.
But this legislation was opposed by Gao Jiang, the current leader of the Linshui tribe. He laughed a few times and said, "Leader Zhao, the women in our Linshui tribe don't like to study. They are busy with needlework and can't even recognize a few words. How can they report to you?"
Datian raised his eyes and gave him a cold look, "If you can't learn the characters, you can teach them slowly. Follow the children to attend full-day classes, and you will learn them soon."
Gao Jiang shook his head. "That won't work. They still have to give birth to children and take care of them. It's not convenient for them to move around. We men have to do the reporting."
As he spoke, he suddenly let out a hiss and looked at Datian's belly. "Chief, I think we should skip the report. We won't have anything to do after we get out. What if I have something to tell you when it's inconvenient for you? What if you're pregnant and have a miscarriage? Hahaha..."
This laughter made Feng Qi furious. She reached out to touch the axe, but Luo Jiu held her wrist and signaled her to wait a moment.
At this time, Datian had already stood up and walked to Gao Jiang's seat. "You have just joined and don't seem to be able to speak human language. But I understand that you think you can establish yourself as a king without being in the city.
I tell you, independence means division, and I will never allow it.
It is not okay not to report. It is also not okay for a man to report.
What was read out today is the Constitution. I will teach you one last time that the Constitution means something that cannot be violated."
Gao Jiang tilted his head and said disdainfully: "So what if I violated it?"
Datian stood in front of him, looking down at his face, as if she was waiting for this sentence.
Everyone saw Datian curling the corners of his mouth slightly, quickly pulling out the steel knife from his waist, holding his head with one hand, holding the knife with the other, and cutting off Gao Jiang's neck in the blink of an eye.
"It's unconstitutional, and this is the outcome. Does anyone still have any questions about this?"
She swept her cold gaze over the crowd, and no one objected.
Datian looked at the dozen people in the temporary department, pointed at the oldest woman and said, "From now on, you will be responsible for the connection between Linshui Department and Chang'an City."
The woman shook her head in panic. "No, no, no, our tribe has always had men as leaders. Let...let him come. I will give the position to him voluntarily."
