Pei Min became the Taoist leader of Xuanzhen Temple, he himself is a great master, after becoming a Taoist leader, no one in this Wuchuan Town except for the Wuchuan Town Army dared to offend, he followed Ling Hao's instructions, with the help of the Taoist Temple as a cover, secretly gathered the children of the homeless people and slaves in Luoyi City, and gave extremely generous conditions and treatment, and they only need to do one thing, that is, it is enough to provide convenience for Ling Hao when Ling Hao needs to capture Luoyi in the future.

On the other hand, the treatment that Ling Hao offered was simply unprecedented, shocking to the world.

First, men and women who join the Taoist temple are exempt from taxes for the first three years and can freely enter and leave any part of Wuchuan Town.

Second, their families can obtain the right to operate land in Wuchuan Town, as long as it is within the territorial scope of Wuchuan Town, and their family can buy and sell whatever they want.

Third, after the children of slaves joined the Taoist temple, the Ling government would make every effort to remove their slavery and let them step into the common class.

Speaking of the ancient household registration system, it really made Ling Hao feel a big head.

Generally speaking, there are four classes of household registration.

The first class is the noble nationality, generally to the family as the nationality, the second class is the good family, that is, the ordinary people, the third is the business nationality, as the name suggests is the person who is a businessman, the fourth class is the slave status, that is, the slave status, once sold may be a lifetime of slavery, unless the master is gracious, willing to give a large sum of money to the government, the fifth class is the cheap nationality, the cheap household registration is those prostitutes, drama h and the like.

Untouchables, also known as untouchables, refer to the legal social hierarchy in ancient China that did not belong to the four peoples of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants. Untouchables are a special class of people in hierarchical societies whose social status is lower than that of ordinary people or even slaves, and generally cannot intermarry with ordinary people, and in many dynasties, untouchables are associated with slavery.

The system of untouchable nationality has existed since ancient times, followed for thousands of years, and was not abolished until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

The untouchable nationality is passed down from generation to generation and cannot be changed, and the untouchable nationality has the lowest social status, and is not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, cannot be an official, and engages in the so-called "lowly industry" in the society at that time, and is subject to social discrimination.

There are mainly Zhejiang lazy people, Shaanxi Lezhi, Beijing Shanxi and other provinces Lehu, Guangdong Tan (dàn) households, Zhejiang nine surname fishing boats, Anhui Bandang, Shifu, Jiangsu beggars and so on.

The lowly people are distributed all over the ancient Shenzhou, and their status is one level lower than that of the slaves, such as the lazy people of Zhejiang, the Lehu of Shaanxi, the Lehu of Beijing, the Tanhu of Guangdong, and the "lazy people" of Shaoxing. The generation of lowly nationality can be roughly divided into two types: one is the historical legacy, and the other is the living environment. Most of the former were originally high-ranking officials and nobles, and they were persecuted because of political issues, which brought disaster to future generations.

The "lazy people" of Shaoxing are said to be the descendants of Song and Yuan sinners. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, his wife and daughter were punished into the Jiaofang Division, serving as official prostitutes, accompanying wine and selling silver, and suffering humiliation. Cantonese people living on land regard the boat-dwelling Tanhu as untouchables. There are also Anhui's companions and servants, whose status is more miserable than that of Lehu and Tanhu.

The lowly nationality system has existed since ancient times, and it was not abolished until the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Yongzheng believes that this is a bad habit along the way, and it should be open-minded. The Holy Decree ordered the governors of all localities to find out the performance and abolish the untouchable status. Millions of untouchables of extremely low status have returned to good people. In this regard, Yongzheng has to say that it has done a very good job.

There is no cheap nationality in this high-martial world, but there are slave families, and this slave group can be said to be crowded.

Even if Ling Hao offered such generous conditions, there were only about 300 people in the Xuanzhen Temple, and the reason for this situation was the pot of slavery.

In addition, ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, China before the Warring States Period, the American South before the Civil War, and some colonies of the British, French, and Russian empires all belonged to the category of slavery.

Chinese slavery began in the Xia Dynasty, through the Shang Dynasty, the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Warring States Period, slavery has gradually disappeared, and in the Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty, slavery was completely replaced by the feudal system.

In the Xia, Shang and Zhou eras, slaves were mostly born in war, and became slaves from enemy captives, and some were demoted to slaves because of crimes, and there were official slaves and private dependents.

Since in ancient China, agriculture and industrial production were dominated by yeoman farmers and free handicraftsmen, and slaves were not widely used in economic life, so some people believe that there is no so-called slave society in China......

However, this view is obviously too taken for granted, and in fact, the slavery system in ancient China has only been gradually hidden over time.

But in fact, as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the slavery system developed under the protection of the government. Slaves consisted mainly of official slaves and official slaves. For example, Ming Taizu gave Li Shanchang 120 people as slaves, and later gave him an iron book, also known as the iron book army (the family in the border army is similar to the iron book army); During the Yongle period, many of those who did not attach Yan soldiers from Jianwen were killed, and the relatives of the victims were all reduced to happy households and incorporated into slavery. After Jiajing, the economy in Jiangnan was developed, and there were many wealthy households, and the number of bankrupt peasants and handicraftsmen who sold themselves into private slavery increased day by day. Some wealthy families kept as many as one or two thousand slaves. All such slaves have a contract of sale, and their descendants will not be allowed to leave their nationality for generations. Jiangbei slaves were hired and recruited by the gentry, and Henan, Shandong and other provinces all had the practice of keeping slaves, but the number was less than that of Jiangnan. Wanli, after the apocalypse, under the influence of peasant uprisings in various places, slaves began to rise up against their masters. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, slave changes spread throughout Hubei, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi and other places. In the peasant war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the slaves took advantage of the situation to riot, and in Yongxin, Jiangxi and other places, the slaves occupied the master's property, distributed the master's grain, and tied up his master, and asked, "Why do you call me as a slave?" The slogan they put forward, "shoveling the master and servant, the noble and the low, the rich and the poor, and the poor" directly pointed to the feudal relationship of personal oppression. The slaves in Jiading, Jiangsu and other places are in charge of the deeds of sale (deeds of sale), and there are tens of thousands of people who sit on the deeds of claiming, and the momentum is huge. In some areas, slaves have their own organizations, such as the "Liren Society" in Macheng, Hubei, the "Oolong Society" in Taicang, Jiangsu, and the "Nose Shaving Class" in Jintan and other places. After the Qing army entered the customs, as class contradictions and ethnic contradictions were intertwined, the slave rebellion spread to all parts of the south and the Shandong region in the north, and the struggle in Sochi was particularly fierce......

In the early years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, under the continuous blows of the slave struggle, the rich did not dare to keep slaves. Love Me eBook

During the Yongzheng period, the Qing government was forced to abolish the slave status of Lehu and dissolve the slave status of the servants of Huizhou (now Shexian County, Anhui), Ningguo, and Chizhou (now Guichi, Anhui), and the untouchables of Changshu, Jiangsu Province also obtained the status of good citizens. These are the results of the constant struggle of the slaves......

Similarly, the slaves in this high-martial world are also divided into official and private subordinates, just ask the princes and nobles, who does not need servants to serve in their families?

Therefore, there is still a part of the slavery system in this high-martial world, but there is only a subordination.

The ones who follow the princes and nobles to serve are called public servants, they may be a little freer, if the master is gracious, they can get out of the sea of suffering and become ordinary people, but the private servants are different, everything about them is decided by the lord's family, even if the lord's family lets them commit suicide in public, they can't refuse, they can only splash blood on the spot......

This makes them in a very special situation, on the one hand, the princes and nobles need them to work and serve themselves, and on the other hand, they are not regarded as human beings, but as private property.

Hearing that there were still nobles in this world who were competing with each other to see who had more slaves, Ling Hao just shook his head again and again when he heard this.

Slavery must be ended.

Although in ancient times, it was impossible to make everyone equal, but Ling Hao felt that it was necessary to reduce a special class.

Slaves are also human beings, they also have their own dignity and joys, sorrows and sorrows, if the slave is just a tool that is called by people to come and go, it can only mean that the slave does not want to resist.

And this is indeed the case, slaves have no courage to resist, and their children will always be slaves......

There can be three hundred, Ling Hao thinks it's very good, it shows that there are still people who feel unfair to themselves as slaves.

Therefore, when he learned the news, he did not hesitate to choose to change their nationality and free these 300 families from the slave class.

Now, they are all "countrymen" who enjoy the treatment of ordinary people, which is much better than before.

If a slave is killed, he does not need to bear any responsibility, and if a countryman is killed, even the princes and nobles must pay compensation.

Although the cost of compensation is not very high, dying as a Chinese can always allow the family to get a little compensation.

For example, lose a few cows or something.

Since Ling Hao was willing to spend resources on them, Pei Min was naturally willing to teach them.

Literacy and hyphenation, swordsmanship and martial arts, etiquette and archery...... Pei Min taught all the things he knew to these boys and girls who were only fifteen or sixteen years old.

These children are studying hard, which used to be out of reach for them, but now they have a new guarantee that they can live in peace that was previously unattainable.

As long as they are loyal to themselves, to Wuchuan Town, and to Lingfu, then no one will be able to break their current harmonious life.

What Ling Hao wants to do is to ignite the anger and resentment in the hearts of all the slaves, in this world, there is no human rights, slaves will be killed when they say they will be killed, and they will die with no dignity and no value.

If you can incite the rebellion of the slave group, and then use it for your own use...... What a terrible force would that be?

Ling Hao knew very well what the results would be if he did this, but he didn't care about that, as long as the current investments were of sufficient benefit to his own side, then even if he did a little bit under despicable and shameless means, so what?

As long as you can win in the end, then no one dares to say that you are despicable and shameless.
