Chapter Forty-Three: Food Shortage and Slaves!

Yao Yun returned with a full load, and there were three cute little guys in his hands at once, and when Xingye and Xiaocao saw Yao Yun, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"King, what a cute pet, you got two more cubs!"

Because Yao Yun has always been gentle, Xingye and Xiaocao do not have the respect between master and servant in front of him, especially in private, they are naturally much more cordial.

When the two little girls saw the chubby baby panda in Yao Yun's hand, they immediately pounced, touched it in the east and touched it in the west, and they were happy and tight.

"What do you want to do, don't go over, you haven't had enough fun!"

"King, you have three little beast babies hanging on your body, how hard it is, the slave family will help you take care of them. ”

"Okay, this baby panda is called Yaoyao, and the other baby panda is called Yunyun, oh, give it to you, be careful!"

Xingye and Xiaocao looked surprised: "King, you named them with your own name, this is too grand, they can't afford it!"

"It's okay, I can afford it!"

Yao Yun secretly sighed, if he was placed in the previous life, he would not have a chance to name the baby panda with his own name, how could he not afford it!

"Meow!"

Erha got out of Yao Yun's arms, his little eyes were full of resentment, Wang, you don't like people anymore, huh......

Yao Yun was stunned, it was really a fierce beast cub, so smart and humane.

"Erha, what are you looking at!"

Erha: "Meow!"

......

Life after crossing over was very boring, and in the next few days, Yao Yun had to put his experience on cultivation, and every bit of progress in cultivation made him very overjoyed.

"Lingshan Ten Witch Heart Method" Yao Yun has reached the level of outlining the six great witches with the power of the heart, and is impacting the outline of the seven great witches, and the progress is obvious, maybe winter is coming, he will be able to reach the level of the seven great witches, and the witchcraft golden spell and the fire spell have not fallen, and he is becoming more and more proficient.

On the other hand, Yao Yun's bow and arrow archery is also a persistent exercise, and the style and style are both flowering and going hand in hand.

In the past two days, Cangman also returned from the mountains with a hunting party.

While hunting, one person died, more than a dozen were injured, hunting was never a stable way to get food, and this time the barbarians were generally unsatisfactory, but more often than not, people had to return disappointed.

As soon as Cang Man came back, he heard that the palace was attacked by ghosts, and the king also took risks and killed several ghosts alone.

Later, Yao Yun followed Yao Yun closely, saying that he would not lead the team out to hunt.

When Yao Yun heard this, he immediately refused, he couldn't stop hunting in autumn, otherwise the winter would be difficult.

"Barbarian, Xidu is just a little ghost, it's not a big deal, Lone has been calmed down, autumn hunting is a big event, originally Xidu's food reserves are insufficient, and the meat of autumn hunting is a very critical part, and it can't be missing!"

Cang Man didn't know the importance of autumn hunting, and he preferred to go into the mountains to hunt in his heart, but in Cang Man's heart, the safety of the king always came first, even if the Xi Kingdom perished, protecting the king was also the first place.

"The King's ......"

"Okay, there is the bald dragon and the second elder, last time they deliberately tested me, it looked dangerous, but in fact, there is no danger to life, Lone is successful in witchcraft, first-class archery, one or two little ghosts are no problem for Lone, hahaha, barbarian, you have to work hard, Lone may be able to become a Qi Refiner in the next year!"

A sincere smile appeared on Cangman's face: "Congratulations to the king, the king has become a qi refiner, and we can go into the mountains to hunt together." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Under Yao Yun's relief and persuasion, Cangman soon led the team into the mountains to hunt again.

As Yao Yun said, Xi is short of food.

In the past, Yao Xuan, the king of Xi, sold the grain from the palace treasury to the barbarian tribe to achieve the goal of controlling the barbarian tribe.

But where did the food come from in the palace treasury?

One is the rent of the common people, and the other is the output of the labor of the slaves.

There were thousands of slaves in Xidu, and Yao Yun himself was the largest slave owner in Xi, or the only slave owner, and all the fruits of slaves' labor would go into the palace treasury, and the palace would give them winter rations.

A large amount of grain from the palace treasury was sold to the barbarian tribes, so the slaves were short of food rations for the winter, and many slaves would starve to death.

In the past, Xidu never took this matter seriously, because in the eyes of most people, slaves are not people, they are consumables, and if they die, they will die if they buy them the next year, and the materials that slaves need to survive the winter can buy two slaves.

Yao Yun asked Cangman, Wutong, and Bald Dragon, and they all felt that the life and death of a slave was a very small matter, and even Xingye and Xiaocao, who were also slaves, wondered why Yao Yun cared so much about those slaves who worked as coolies.

"Apricot leaves, little grass, don't you think it's strange to do this? Slaves are also human beings, and their lives should be respected!"

The apricot leaves and the grass looked at each other the same, and their eyes were full of incredulity.

"The king is merciful, but everyone does this, we don't know, although we are also slaves, but the king is very good to us, we don't know the outside, but things are supposed to be like this, no one will pity slaves......"

"Yes, the slaves of Xiguo are doing well, but I heard that the slaves in other places are even worse. ”

Yao Yun looked at Xingye and Xiaocao dumbfounded, he thought that they were both slaves, and the two little girls would speak for slaves, but the result was ...... This brainwashing ~ is too powerful!

As a traverser from a democratic and equal world, he can accept the subordination between his boss and his subordinates, but it is difficult to accept the inequality of personality, and it is clear that slaves and people in this world are two different creatures.

Yao Yun will not raise his arms and shout, dare to be the first in the world, and issue a declaration of emancipation to the whole world, he does not have such a big heart, let alone such a big fist.

But in his own territory, Yao Yun could not exploit or even despise the lives of slaves like other nobles.

In Yao Yun's eyes, slaves are also human beings, no different from ordinary people, as the people under his rule, he should try to make them well-fed, no matter how poor they are, a large number of slaves cannot starve to death.

Before the emergence of a unified country, it was difficult to eradicate slaves, most of the slaves were prisoners of defeated vassal states and defeated tribes, they were the spoils of the victors, and it was normal to buy and sell at will, which was caused by the current environment of mutual conquest, and Yao Yun could not change it at all.

Yao Yun knew that the emancipation of slaves was the trend of the times, and after the emancipation of slaves, the productivity of Xidu would also grow explosively, but Yao Yun would not let them out of slavery all at once.

Yao Yun didn't plan to do this, firstly, the loss was too great, and he could not afford to lose in a short time, and secondly, the momentum was too great, which would cause unknown trouble.

What Yao Yun can do now is to provide a channel for the slaves under his rule to be promoted to become commoners, as long as the slaves are self-motivated, Yao Yun will be rewarded for their merits, so that they can get back on the right track in life.

Of course, Yao Yun believed that the slave society would slowly disappear, as the history of the previous life fully demonstrated.

Just when Yao Yun was thinking wildly, the Huangshi Heavenly Book bloomed with brilliant golden light again.

[The liberation of slaves conforms to the will of heaven, and now Xiyun man Yao Yun has set a grand goal and unswervingly struggled for the cause of liberating slaves, which is very rare.

Set a small goal to help the Xidu slaves survive the winter, and the reward will depend on the situation!]

Yao Yun was stunned for a moment, there is a main quest, and there is also a side quest, and the golden finger played by Tianshu is slipping more and more.

But when did I set my sights?

You are a pit father, and you are still unswervingly fighting for the cause of liberation, you have seen too much on the news station!
