Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 387: Chapter 190 ”Xia Li” 4 articles, someone is coming_2

But out of nowhere, how can he accept it!

That’s right, just like everyone else in the camp, and indeed everyone in the Ice Abyss World, marrying off daughters doesn’t count for much in Xiao Kangcheng’s heart.

”Father-in-law, stay calm, listen to me first...”

Xia Chuan also stood up, smiled and reassured him, then continued: ”These six gifts are just the formality of my proposal. How to handle them is entirely up to you.

The contribution value spent on this bride price is not much for me, but it’s definitely not low either. It shows my regard for Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu.

If you don’t accept it, then you’re rejecting my proposal.”

How to handle it is entirely up to you!

Showing regard for his two daughters!

These two sentences made Xiao Kangcheng’s eyes light up slightly.

Many around also instantly realized it and nodded slightly.

contribution points are neither high nor low for Xia Chuan. The Cloud Jiao Team is currently the leading team of the Hunting Department, and as the captain, Xia Chuan surely earns a lot of contribution points each month.

The value of these six gifts indeed reflects his seriousness about the proposal.

The key is, how to handle it is entirely up to Xiao Kangcheng.

Then it’s even better, at worst, just let the daughters take it with them when they get married.

After Xia Chuan finished speaking, he took the book from Qiu Peng’s hands and, facing the rest in the room, continued: ”Everyone, the leader said that the specification of these six gifts does not vary by value, as long as it covers the six essentials of clothing, food, shelter, travel, arms, and drink. The quantity is up to personal ability; I don’t want to become the villain delaying everyone’s marriage...”

Hearing Xia Chuan’s jest, everyone realized it and burst into laughter.

”Hahaha, indeed, just a formality, one should act within one’s means.”

”Hahahaha, I said, if everyone were like this, our camp’s resources wouldn’t be sufficient!”

”Lord Minister marrying two at once, of course, the gifts should be substantial!”

”Hahaha.”

”Did you hear that? Lord Minister has the skill to gather so much.”

”Get lost, I never said I wanted it.”

”Hahahahaha...”

...

The slight bickering of several couples made everyone burst into laughter, instantly warming the atmosphere of the entire hall.

”Lord Minister, was that ’Xia Li’ personally compiled by the leader?”

But a few sharp-minded ones, recalling what Xia Chuan just said, immediately asked about the book in his hand.

Others, hearing this, also quieted down, curiously looking at Xia Chuan.

Finally, someone asked about this.

Xia Chuan relaxed a little, smiling at everyone, raised the book in his hand, nodded, and said loudly: ”That’s right, this ’Xia Li’ was personally compiled by the leader.”

The leader said that without rules, there can be no standards; without ritual and ceremony, there is no order. We humans, unlike the deceitful monsters and cold beasts, have formed camps to keep warm and thus should have our own civilization and system. Although we cannot retrieve the advanced civilization of the Ancient Abyss Era, we should create our set anew.

This Xia Li currently has only four parts, namely Camp, Ritual, Hunt, and Cultivation.

The Camp section standardizes all the titles of positions within the Six Ministries of the Daxia Camp, and clearly delineates the various responsibilities unique to each role.

The Ritual section encompasses topics like marriage, funeral, sacrifice, and custom, used to regulate our Daxia people’s conduct and daily activities. Today’s dowry offering, future bride welcoming, and the act of marriage itself are all contents of the marriage section, consider today as me giving you a template.

The Hunting section, as the name implies, relates to the regulation of hunting behavior, including who can hunt, where to hunt, preparatory work and things to be aware of before and after a hunt, all explained in detail.

The Cultivation section regulates our practices in areas such as logging, digging, cold resistance, and even the yet unknown Xianyang level, exploring methods of cultivation across different stages, power levels, and corresponding titles, providing a basic framework.

Xia Chuan introduced the four parts of Xia Li with a brief explanation all at once, observing the confused looks in people’s eyes, he remembered what his elder brother had said and sighed inwardly.

”The civilization of the Ice Abyss World has fallen for too long, so long that apart from some rules passed down through generations, everything else has been forgotten.

Trying to regulate everyone with a single Xia Li is impossible; only through subtle influence and long-term integration can the content within truly become part of their lives.”

Is civilization and enlightenment really so important?

A trace of perplexity flashed in Xia Chuan’s eyes. In his view, these long and complex rules devised by his elder brother might not have any practical effect in the present and could even cause trouble for the camp.

At the very least, once these rituals are popularized, the consumption of resources will increase. What benefits come from it?

Despite his doubts, Xia Chuan’s natural trust in Xia Hong kept him from thinking further. He looked up at everyone, ready to continue speaking but was unexpectedly interrupted by someone’s question.

”Lord Minister, in the future, will everyone in our camp have to strictly follow Xia Li in handling matters?”

Xia Chuan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then immediately shook his head and said: ”No, Xia Li is not mandatory. For the marriage rites, for example, my proposal process today does not require everyone to follow the same way; you can continue as before.”

”Then what’s the use of Xia Li?”

Another person asked aloud.
