Chapter 45 Zhizhu is holding the little king!
Chapter 45 Zhizhu is holding the little king!
Just kill one hundred and fifteen, such a fluttering sentence, even the speaker is a little proud and complacent.
The miserable cries in the venue quickly spread from sporadic to sporadic and quickly flooded, from women to old people, one by one in despair and pain.
Some people show a look of relief, but they still can't dissolve the attachment to the world in their eyes.
The desire to survive is the instinct of all living beings, and slaves may have a miserable life, but they still have a love for life, even if it is good to survive one more day.
Yao Yun was greatly touched, before this, he had not experienced too much suffering in either the previous life or this life, and the only memory of poverty was when he was very young.
Because of the lack of food, so sacrifice some slaves and save more slaves, if it is measured by value, this is true, it is very reasonable to think so, so what he said is justified, and under the blue sky and white sun, he said it in front of the victim.
At this moment, Yao Yun's heart was complicated and he had mixed feelings.
When the slave steward saw that the crying and shouting intensified, so that he couldn't hear what the king said, he was immediately furious, picked up the whip and whipped it in the void, and scolded: "Shut up, beast-like thing, what are the ghosts crying about, cry and beat you to death again!"
The steward of the slave workshop was very majestic, and under the angry shouting, the panicked and frightened slaves actually stopped crying, and covered their mouths with their hands one by one, not daring to cry out loud.
Seeing this, the steward bowed his sleeves very majestically, and said with a smile: "King, don't be strange to this group of cheap slaves, hehehe, hey, king, what do you command?"
Yao Yun: "Lone just suggested, how about you become the first one among the one hundred and fifty people?"
"Oh, Da Wang Ying......" The steward habitually made a gesture, but before he finished speaking, his eyes widened, incredibly and terrified, and he fell directly to the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"The king spares his life, the minister does not know what crime he has committed, and asks the king for forgiveness, and the minister is loyal to the king......."
In an instant, the plot reversed, and the people in the entire slave workshop were a little unable to come back to their senses, and the slaves stared blankly at this dramatic scene, sniffing quietly, and their faces were covered.
Yao Yun ignored the slave housekeeper, although he didn't like the way he did things, but he also did something wrong, and it was true, in other places, the slaves were treated more harshly and pitifully.
Thinking of this, Yao Yun didn't pay attention to the manager of the slave workshop, but took a step forward, looked around at the slaves, and said softly:
"Lone is the monarch of Xi Kingdom, the lord of Xi Capital, don't panic, Lone will not kill you to save food!"
Under the warm sun, King Xi, whose face was like a crown of jade, made a promise.
Whether it is the identity of the king or the king's gentle and jade-like affinity like a boy next door, it is easy for slaves to have a sense of trust.
The frightened faces of the slaves faded into a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives.
"No matter where you come from, no matter which vassal country you used to be a citizen of, no matter which mountain tribe you come from, as long as you come to Xi Kingdom, you are a lonely people, and Lone will not easily kill or abandon his own people!"
The slaves looked dazed and stunned, and they heard it very clearly, and the king called them the people, not the slaves!
Hu Yi hurriedly said: "King, they are not the people of Xi Kingdom, they are slaves!"
The hope that had just risen among the slaves was immediately extinguished by the words of the palace guard, Hu Yi, and there was a gloomy look in their eyes.
Yao Yun said with a smile: "Lone said that the people are the people, you are other people's sin slaves, and if you are sold to Xiguo, you are Lonely, Lone doesn't like slaves who are only promised, Lone likes the people, Lone hopes that you can all become Lone's people!"
The slaves were at a loss, and the palace guards did not understand what the king meant.
Yao Yun said with a smile: "Lone has a dream, that is, you can all become Lone's courtiers! And if you want to become Lone's courtiers, you need to have a skill, you need to be able to cultivate and cultivate well, Lone rewards, not only let him get rid of slavery, but also give him land to cultivate; if he knows how to craft and craftsmen do a good job, Lone can also let them get out of slavery, let them work in the workshop to get money and food.....
Listening to Yao Yun's words, the palace guards breathed a sigh of relief, many slaves were released from the sea of suffering because of their skills, and King Xi's practice was very common and not unusual.
The slaves, on the other hand, lowered their eyes in disappointment, and if they had a skill, they would not stay in the slave shop and wait for death.
"King, we don't have any skills!"
Among the slaves, a woman shouted as if she was in danger of her life, and then closed her eyes with a gloomy face, as if she had accepted her fate.
Yao Yun still had a smile on his face: "You don't have a skill, you can let you have a skill, as long as you are willing to learn and have a motivated heart, then you can become the people of Xiguo!"
The faces of the slaves showed a look of confusion, and only a few slaves showed a few glimmers of hope in their eyes.
Yao Yun didn't stay long, but just ordered the steward to keep the rations as usual, not to starve a slave to death, he still has a lot of use, after speaking, Yao Yun left.
The slaves were already numb, and Yao Yun felt that it was useless for him to say more, so he could only take his time in the future, let the slaves play their value step by step, and gradually improve the reward mechanism to encourage the slaves to improve.
The second elder Wu Tong soon heard about Yao Yun's trip to Nufang, so the second elder found Yao Yun.
"King, you are ready to give freedom to the slaves, this is unacceptable, this will make Xi Guo suffer huge losses!" Wu Tong said bitterly.
The bald dragon snorted even more coldly: "Children, don't be merciful and foolish, it's a big deal!"
Obviously, the two men regarded Yao Yun's actions as a woman's kindness and felt compassion for the slaves.
Yao Yun shook his head and smiled: "Second Elder, Uncle Long, can you bet that if I give the slaves freedom, not only will the Xi Kingdom not decline, but it will even be more prosperous in a short period of time!"
Wu Tong frowned: "What does this mean?"
Yao Yun said with a smile: "Lone is not ready to give freedom to the slaves all at once, Lone will only reward the freedom of slaves who have a skill and have made meritorious contributions, of course, Lone hopes that it will not be long before these slaves have a skill and can become a lone people!"
Wu Tong and Bald Dragon were even more puzzled, and Yao Yun did not explain, waiting for the next year to be the time for him to give full play to the expertise of the flower planter, when there will be new farming techniques and handicrafts, Xidu lacks many talents, and the slave who is eager to be promoted is the best object of indoctrination.
Self-motivated slaves will study hard and work hard, and the energy that bursts out when the time comes, is amazing, and the history of the previous life also proves this very well.
"Lone's slaves are very useful, so Lone is ready to let them all survive this winter!"
Bald Dragon and Wu Tong were surprised: "We don't have so much food in Xiguo!"
Yao Yun said with a smile: "Yes, this year, I used the excuse to attack the barbarian tribe, sold a lot of less grain, and saved a lot of grain, and in addition, foreign caravans will successively transport grain to Xidu to sell, and I will eat it!"
Wu Tong was quite different: "Great King, you had this intention when you sanctioned the barbarian tribe?"
Yao Yun nodded: "This is natural, if we have the strength of Xi before, I am not ready to sell a little grain to the barbarian tribe, they pay lip service to us, but in fact they are not the real people of Xi Kingdom, in the lonely heart, the lives of slaves are more important than them!"
Wu Tong and the bald dragon smacked their tongues slightly, they were still discussing their king's long-term vision before, and the bald dragon still didn't believe it, but now he couldn't refute it.
However, the bald dragon was a little unconvinced, he didn't believe that his family could do everything, so he poured cold water on it: "I'm afraid this food is not enough!"
Yao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "I am ready to let my subordinates spread the salt as white as jade to the caravans in the past, and the large and small caravans spent a sky-high price to buy and sell it to the imperial capital and made a windfall.
Scarce things are expensive, and shrewd businessmen will seize this business opportunity, and when they take advantage of the winter to transport another batch of grain, it should be about the same!"
