The square in front of the Changshi Mansion. The Jingguan that has been piled into a pyramid is shocking enough.

Swept over the faces of lifelike people. Amazon did not find a single woman, child or elderly person. They are all powerful men in the prime of life.

Asked Andrea Fangzhi. These are horse thieves who once roamed the oasis. Killed by his master's warriors. And the reason why the warriors worked so hard was because they all wanted to get together nine heads and sell a slave girl as a wife.

"For a wife?" The High Priestess was keen to grasp the point.

"Yes." Andrea nodded slightly, her eyes full of respect: "The master is ashamed of being a slave." Be kind to every one of your people. It is not permissible to abuse and abandon slaves and subordinates at will.

According to the laws of Dahan. Slaves also have the right to live. Killing slaves at will, even nobles, was punishable. Slaves can be set free. There were also many slaves, all of whom became great heroes of the empire, and were made high-ranking officials and nobles. Own your own territory. ”

"Slaves become lords?" The High Priestess was incredulous.

"That's right. And......" Andrea quietly lowered her voice, "the 100,000 slaves in the camp will soon be free." It was placed in various oases and became the 'Household Gatherer'. "Andrea's native language in the Amazon is mixed with the Youzhou accent of the four words 'Household Qimin'.

"What do you mean by 'making up households and people'?" The queen also spoke stiff Chinese.

"Freedmen." Andrea blurted out.

"Oh my God......" exclaimed the High Priestess.

"The slaves of the Han are called 'slaves'. Slaves outside the Han Dynasty are real slaves. Andrea hit the nail on the head.

There is a difference between a slave and a slave, but the status and circumstances are very different. In a word: slaves and slaves are different products of the feudal era and the slave era.

In terms of advancement. The feudal era was far more advanced than the slave age: a comprehensive upgrade of all the aspects that made up human society.

"And what are we?" The Queen asked again.

"We are the 'house slaves' of our masters." Andrea spoke Youzhou Chinese again: "'Lie Hou is called home'." The master's title is the county marquis, and he is also the 'Han clan relative'. So we're all house slaves. ”

"'Home' is another name for nobility?" Worthy of the High Priestess.

"It can be understood that way." Andrea actually didn't know much about it.

The queen memorized the Chinese pronunciation of the word 'home' and asked, "What is the master going to do when he bought us all?" ”

"The oasis is vast and sparsely populated. All this time, the Han Dynasty was trying to tuntian. However, due to the shortage of manpower, the results have been limited. The master bought 100,000 Kushan slaves in order to reclaim the oasis. As far as I know, the master also bought the same number of slaves from Usun. Andrea revealed a secret that everyone did not know.

"Two hundred thousand are about to become slaves of the freedmen." The High Priestess sighed: "The master wants to unify the oasis in another way. ”

The queen also understood: "Peace without bloodshed." ”

"Why?" Ashiwara didn't figure it out for a moment.

"Because 'freedom again' is the ultimate dream in the hearts of all slaves." The High Priestess replied.

"Isn't the master afraid that the slaves who have been freed will flee with their families?" Ashiwarya still didn't get it.

"Except for the oases, no one sees them as freemen. So no matter where these 200,000 slaves flee, they will be captured and sent back. The queen replied softly. The whole world is slavery. Where else can you escape?

"Understood." Ashiwarya nodded slightly.

Except for the owner of the distant oasis, or the Han who has entered the feudal era. The surrounding countries were all slave dynasties. Fugitive slaves, only one result. They were all arrested and returned to their original owners. And as a thank you. The original owner would generously give up to half of the fugitive slaves to the slave lords who helped capture them.

The rights of slaves are derived from the gifts of slave owners.

Only by honestly settling down in the oasis will they get the rights of the freedmen given by Liu Bei. At least for now.

Follow the long staircase to the high platform. The Amazons looked curiously at the Oriental Gatehouse, which had a very different style.

into the front yard. Along a warm winding corridor across an icy pond, a towering three-story building comes into view.

Then climb the granite stone steps of 'Shanshanhong' quarried from Baishan. Stepping onto the jade-glowing lacquered wood floor, Andrea spoke softly, "Take off your boots." ”

With that, he removed his yellow sheepskin boots, stepped onto the floor, and turned to arrange them neatly on the stone steps.

Glancing at Andrea's feet, which were also lightly saronged, the queen said, "Follow along." ”

"Yes." The female warriors took off their boots and stepped onto the lacquered wooden floor. He turned around again and put his boots in order. Nowadays, leather boots are handmade. Each pair has different patterns and accessories. You can't make a mistake. This is also one of the functions of accessories. So that the owner of the boots can be recognized at a glance.

"This is wood?" The queen rubbed the smooth floor lightly with the soles of her feet. Through a thin layer of foot clothing, you can feel the incomparable texture. It wasn't at all the wood she remembered.

"Lacquered wood." Andrea explained the queen's puzzles: "First polish the wood surface and then apply lacquer. And then wipe it every day, and even the paint surface seeps into the texture, 'warm as jade, light can be seen'. ”

"Wipe every day?" The queen couldn't believe it.

There is no basis for words. Andrea lifted the ball of her foot slightly. Show yourself jade-colored, spotless feet.

The queen lifted the balls of her feet. Sure enough, it was spotlessly clean.

"It's amazing." All of Amazon was shocked.

Get a glimpse of the whole leopard. Gods and ghosts are hidden. These small details that seep into life are enough to show the unimaginable strength of Eastern civilization. As some people will say, only those who are full of food go to the mound every day. That's right, it's when you're full that you have the strength to go to the ground every day.

This is not the same as eating and thinking about prostitution.

It belongs to a higher level of aesthetics and pursuit.

Why do you have to do charity when you have money?

It is because "if you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world".

To do charity in a high-profile manner, the subtext is: 'Lao Tzu is developed! ’

This is also a higher-level pursuit. Right?

"Wealth does not return to its hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night. Who knows! ”

Look, even the overlord of Chu is not exempt from vulgarity.

"I don't want to be heard by the princes." Just ask the talents in the world, how many people can do it.

I saw a group of bearded girls with dazzling blond hair, chattering, and looking at the heart. The maid in the house, who stood with her head down, couldn't help but smile.

I found myself in a very bad head. Andrea's cheeks were stained crimson with shame: "Put it down, put it down." That's rude. ”

"Okay." The Amazons stood, letting their silk skirts fall and cover their feet.

"Smile without showing your teeth, and walk without showing your feet." It's still a long way off.

Under the guidance of the maid, enter the front hall.

I saw a curtain hanging in the hall. There are seven people seated in the curtain.

Look at the outline, it should be a woman.

The maid who led the way saluted first and sat down in front of the curtain.

Nowadays, the woman sits on her knees, her hips are on her feet, and her hands are intertwined and hanging in front of her. "Sitting with your hands down".

This is the most elegant posture a woman can sit.

I know that Hu Renxi likes to "sit with his feet down". Several rows of beds have been set up in front of the hall.

The so-called "Hu bed" is a simple folding chair. It is named because it originated in the Western Regions. Tao Gu of the Song Dynasty said in the "Qing Yilu" "Xiaoyaoza" article: "Hu Bed Shi turned the pass to hand over his feet, wore a toilet to accommodate sitting, turned and shrunk for a moment, and weighed not a few catties." ”

The posture of sitting on the bed is very similar to the modern conventional sitting style. The ancients called it "sitting with their feet down". It is common in oases.

"Meet Mrs. Qiru." Under Andrea's leadership, the Amazon salute is performed.

"You may be seated." Mrs. Yan after the curtain, spoke softly.

"Thank you." Andrea then led the queen and her party to sit on the Hu bed.
