Chapter 144: Former Dynasty Ethnicity?
Cheng Hao was pondering in his heart, and saw that Yu Jin had already turned in from the outside, and put a wooden tray on the round table in front of several people, and there were some crystal and lovely fruits on the plate, which was very stimulating to people's appetite.
Cheng Hao was not polite, he directly reached out and took a bite, he also recognized this kind of fruit, it was called Cuizhubud in his time, and it was a good fruit food.
Eating in the mouth is not only sweet and sour, but also can greatly alleviate hunger and thirst and improve physical strength.
"Oh, I didn't expect Cheng Zhuangshi to like our core fruit very much. Sitting at the round table, the royal wine in the middle of his hand watched Cheng Hao pick up the fruit and gnaw it, and couldn't help laughing.
waved his hand at Yu Jin: "Girl, I see that Cheng Zhuangshi should also be hungry, you go down and make arrangements, we will have a bonfire banquet tonight, which can be regarded as a celebration that our Qingxi Village has escaped the catastrophe." ”
"Hey!" Yu Jin agreed, turned around with a smile and went down.
Cheng Hao said while nibbling on the fruit: "Is this thing called core-clad fruit now? ”
"There are also those called green bamboo buds. Yu Yu nodded: "I heard that in the southwest of the mainland, people in many countries still call it Cuizhubud, but most people dislike it for being too sour, and there are really not many people who like to eat it." Our little Qingxi Village really didn't have anything to show for it, but it made Cheng Zhuangshi smile. ”
Cheng Hao waved his hand: "There's nothing to laugh at, this green bamboo bud is a good thing, eating more is good for the body, especially for martial artists, they don't like to eat it can only mean that they have no vision." ”
Yu Yu nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly, it was still ...... back then." Hey, don't talk about it, Cheng Zhuangshi, I don't know where you came from and where do you want to go?"
"Me?" Cheng Hao smiled when he heard this, and he didn't hide it: "I came from Yunfeng City outside the Great Wilderness, and I was going to enter the hinterland of the Dragon Teng Empire to see and experience, but I was a little lost in the Qingtian Peak Mountain Range, and I didn't know how to get out for a while." ”
"It turned out to be a guest from outside the Great Wilderness, no wonder, no wonder ......" Yu Yu said and looked at Cheng Hao's dirty and tattered outfit, and nodded again and again.
"By the way, I have something I want to ask a few elders about. ”
"Speak, strong man. ”
"In the Dragon Empire, is there a habit of keeping slaves?" Cheng Hao's voice was a little cold when he said this.
Yu Yu sighed when he heard this: "There is indeed a trend of slavery, but on the surface, the laws of the empire are strictly prohibited, even if they are the subordinates of large families, they are all civilians with household registration, and the master's family is only an employment relationship, according to reason, even the head of the family cannot be scolded and beaten at will." Can ......"
"Yes, I know that. Cheng Hao waved his hand, this was not what he wanted to ask.
He knew about this kind of atmosphere as early as when he was in Cheng's house in Yunfeng City.
The Cheng family is actually like that, whether it is a maid or a servant in the outer court, in fact, according to the laws of the empire, they are all free, not slaves.
But in fact, they are limited by the monstrous power of the Cheng family, and they have no status in the Cheng family.
Not to mention the subordinates who don't live like people at all, even if that group of maids and maids don't annoy the master a little and kill them?
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Hao has a very bad impression of the Cheng family, and even when Yuan Haijun destroyed the Cheng family, he only helped a few people who were familiar with him, and as for the life and death of other Cheng family members, he would not take it to heart.
However, this situation is not to mention now, in fact, it already existed 10,000 years ago when he was still there.
Laws are regulations, reality is reality, and many places in the Six Realms are like the Cheng family in Yunfeng City.
This kind of thing can't be managed even when Cheng Hao was still the Green Emperor, let alone now.
What he really cares about is whether there is still a legal slave status, and whether there is still a slave on the surface!
This is the most forbidden thing, and unlike the rules that are agreed in secret, slaves on the surface are actually the most harmful and profound to the human race!
Their presence will cause the human race to plant the roots of inequality and mutual inaction in the eyes of the human race, and once this small root sprouts, it will surely grow into a towering tree in the future!
"This ...... There are also yes. Yu Yu understood what Cheng Hao wanted to ask, and said with a long sigh: "The kind of real slaves you asked are actually not small, but they are either sinners or prisoners of war. There are many countries on the mainland, and there are naturally few wars, and every time a war occurs, most of the captives will be reduced to slavery and will not be able to turn over for the rest of their lives. ”
Cheng Hao frowned and nodded, prisoner of war?
Yu Yu smiled bitterly and pointed to himself: "Our Qiman clan is actually a prisoner of war." ”
"Oh?" Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows: "So you weren't originally from the Dragon Teng Empire?
"What the strong man said is not right, if we Qiman clan are the people of the Dragon Teng Empire, it really can't be counted, but if the strong man refers to this land, then we are definitely the original owners of this vast and beautiful land!"
"Oh, it turns out that the Qiman clan is an ethnic group of the previous dynasty?" Cheng Hao understood what Yu Yu was referring to and asked.
Yu Yu Chang sighed and said, "Yes, my Qiman clan was originally the master of this land, but at that time, this place was not called the Dragon Teng Empire, but the Qiman Empire!" "Can you tell me more about it?" Cheng Hao was also a little interested when he heard this.
He had read some history books when he was in the Cheng family, but he had never seen a Qiman Empire in the books.
"If you want to come to the strong man, you should also be well-read, but you shouldn't have heard of our Qiman Empire, hehe, this is normal, Yao Tianming, the founding emperor of the Longteng Empire, he was originally the Longjiang Festival envoy of my Qiman Empire, and later because of his meritorious service in fighting with neighboring countries, his status and prestige have gradually increased, and his power has become increasingly large, and he has even been crowned a king in the end, and his fief is in Longtengjing, the middle capital of the empire today!".
"Why is there still a central capital? Isn't the capital of the Dragon Teng Empire Youyunjing?" Cheng Hao was a little confused when he heard it.
Yu Yu smiled and said: "This Dragon Empire has a total of three capitals, Beijing is called Youyunjing, and it is the political core of the empire. Nanjing's name is Jinlingjing, which was the capital of the empire when it was just established, and Longtengjing, the central capital, was the starting place of Yao Tianming, the founding emperor of the Longteng Empire, and it was also the place where the Yao family temple was located. ”
