Chapter Forty-Eight: The Ancestors Were Greeted

When I arrived in the West Market, the crowds were crowded and the cattle neighed, and the stench was stinking

"Come and see! A slave girl who just got back from Bashire! Young, good-looking, and diligent! ”

"Hey officer, this Baiyue got the goods! In the summer, if you leave him to work in the field, you can't kill this thing! But it's much stronger than those ripe people! ”

"Good goods! The family is a slave and understands the rules! Raw is cheap? Shengman, you dare to let him work in the yard? Well, this is a slave! His ancestors have been domestic slaves for generations, and if you buy them back, you don't need to be trained, and you can use them directly in the yard! ”

~~~~~~

These slaves are divided into barbarians, mature barbarians, domestic slaves, and Han slaves

Shengbarian is the ethnic minority compatriots who have just gone to the deep mountains and old forests and plundered them, and there are also barbarians who have been captured in battle.

Pure wild, relatively barbaric, many people can't understand Chinese.

~~

Shuman, is the border with the Han people, living in the ethnic minorities. They were also abducted and taken captive; Because I have a lot of contact with Han people, I know Chinese and understand some Han rules.

~~

The family is born of slaves, and it is the descendant of the slaves of the large gentry family, generations. In "Dream of Red Mansions", many of them are domestic slaves, such as Lai Er.

Most of these family slaves are doing chores in the yards of large families, and they have a very clear understanding of the rules of various family backgrounds; Some are also literate.

~~

Hannu are those who were sold by their parents and stolen by "Shoot Flowers".

When they went bankrupt, they sold their own children by themselves, and there were those who escaped and were caught and sold as slaves.

~~

Wen Cheng and his entourage walked around, looking east and west

Linu, in fact, is an "improved version" of the slaves of the "Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period"

The slaves of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were purely "big livestock", and they all belonged to the same existence as "non-humans".

With the progress of society, the "slave" is a little more advanced.

"Li" has a higher status than large animals, and can rent the land of the owner's family; If you have a good life, you can save dozens of catties of food;

"Slaves" are the same, but the work they do is not necessarily farming, and they do more miscellaneous housework.

In fact, slaves and subordinate slaves are almost the same

It's just that our ancestors were more humane and loved face, so these two words are called upside down

- This seems more civilized.

The price of subordinate slaves is divided into grades and regions.

In a small "16th-tier" city like Han'an County, prices are low; There is a close proximity to the "source of goods...... In other words, Han'an County itself is a "source of goods".

Therefore, the price of subordinate slaves is not high: twenty yuan, buy five! This is the wholesale price.

Like the previous shouting at those domestic slaves and Han slaves, talk about selling

Raw, cooked, on heaps wholesale

The trafficker is also evil: good and evil, men and women, with sales!

β€”β€”Note: According to the records of the stone tablets unearthed in Pixian County, and refer to the "Han Wang Weiqing Land Purchase Voucher"

~~~~~~

The scholars of the Central Plains are more civilized, and people don't look down on this kind of goods at all

Due to the early development and deep cultivation over there, most of the people who bought and sold were their own compatriots

Someone once fell in love with someone else's female slave and gave three catties of gold as a "transfer fee", but others did not sell it.

Three catties of gold, Han'an County is enough to buy dozens of raw barbarians

In the end, Wen Cheng let the two brothers Wu Liang and Wu Gen rescue 80 ethnic minority compatriots who were suffering; Five Han compatriots were rescued.

I bought a few cows and a few mules

Remove the straw rope that holds them

Wen Cheng took the car, Wu Liang Wu Gen left and right, and Su Jian Palace, let the slaves lead the oxen and mules and go to the back of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, I heard a noise behind me

After a while, Su Jian and Wu Gen came up with two slaves

I saw this man, with an unruly, fierce and brutal face, written directly on his face; Although he was covered with scars, he didn't frown at all, and he didn't care about it.

He was followed by the man, not tall, in rags, and covered with rags.

Su Jian didn't say anything, Wu Gen said angrily: "Second uncle, these two things, they actually want to escape!" ”

After Wu Gen finished speaking, he kicked the little man hatefully: "Just count how fast he slipped away!" In a few moments, he ran through the bushes and into the crevices of the mountains; If it weren't for the fact that my brother was also a good climber at climbing mountains and trees, maybe he would have escaped! ”

Wen Cheng let everyone rest in place

~~~~~~

He turned around and asked the two men, "Do you understand Chinese?" ”

The stout man "woo-woo-......" came out with a bunch of words he didn't understand

The thin one knows Chinese: "The villain is the Pu people, and the people over there in Dianchi Lake", after speaking, he knelt down to Wen Cheng with a "poof": "The adults let the villain go!" There is also a wife and mother in the villain's house, and if there is no villain in the house, they will starve to death! ”

Wen Cheng shook his head: "Dianchi? Either Yizhou County, or Kunming Dao; It is a long way to go.

It's up to you? Hugh said that just because there is no road, you can't get out of this Han'an realm.

Those Ba people, Di Hu people, migrants, burners...... The territory of hundreds of clansmen, large and small, can you get by?

I roasted you and ate it, and I didn't think there was any meat; I'm afraid you won't be able to escape the order of sacrificing to the heavens and the moon god! ”

And the man knew that this was the case

No matter how good he is at drilling mountains and climbing trees, he can't escape the fate of being caught by others;

In the mountains along the way, there are countless barbarians; They all grew up in the mountains, and no one is bad.

Do you want to cross the thousands of rivers and mountains and return to your hometown by yourself? Only dreaming is possible!

After figuring out this joint, the thin man couldn't help but cry

That is, to meet the text.

If he dared to cry like this in front of other masters, he would have been whipped off with a leather whip long ago!

I bought you to work for my lord, who cares if you have any bullshit and sadness?

The stout man struggled, ready to pounce, and was kicked into the ditch by the side of the road by Su Jian.

The south fist and the north leg really have a heritage.

~~~~~

Wen Cheng looked at a group of men and women, old and young, and servants: "Among you, who knows the origin of this person?" ”

In the middle of the night, Ai Ai walked out of a Qiang slave: "I know." His name is 'Aqumu', and he fought under one of my leaders.

They are not my people, and they do not know where they were caught, and they should be 'trapped.' ”

- "Trapped", the first person to rush forward in each battle. In fact, they are "cannon fodder", mostly captured prisoners and sergeants who have violated military discipline and discipline.

Weapons are not given in normal times. When they arrived at the front line, they were under the supervision of the "Inspector Team", distributing weapons, climbing city walls, and filling in ravines;

Only those who have won and made meritorious contributions can be turned into "regular soldiers".

Wen Cheng nodded and said no more

Tell this Qiang slave to pick up Aqumu and continue to the top of the mountain

~~~~~~

Ma Da and the boss of the Zhou family led a group of people to carry building materials down the mountain.

Seeing that Wen Cheng was coming, after saluting, Wen Cheng asked the slaves to line up.

Wen Cheng stood on a rock: "I know you are uneasy in your hearts. Now that you're here, follow my arrangement! I will not promise you anything, but you will do your part.

All I can say is that as long as you finish your business, you won't be beaten, you won't have to wait for anyone to sleep, and you won't have to worry about being beaten! ”

Wen Cheng jumped off the stone and asked the five Han slaves to count how many men, how many are strong, and how many can speak Chinese...

The final results came in: fifty-eight men, twenty-seven women; It is said that it is old and young, but in fact, it can be taken captive and sold, who wants to be too old?

The small ones have long been sold alone to large families as small servants, trained into family girls, and little maids.

Buy wholesale whole packages, beautiful and ugly; There are strong ones, and there are naturally thin ones.

Basically, I am still fifteen or sixteen to my thirties, and there are many people in this age group.

The boss of the Zhou family cooks with a human fire

Martha led them to the back mountain to build a wooden house where the slaves lived.

Building a masonry house is unrealistic, time-consuming, and costly. The thatched roof of the wooden house is a common poor family, a better place to live.

There are many poor people living in bamboo huts and thatched huts.

~~~~~

The speed of building wooden houses is extremely fast; With the help of livestock, the ground was leveled, and the stones were the foundations, the stakes were the pillars, and the planks were made of the walls; Bamboo poles are sandwiched with thatch as the top.

The text is only required to be sturdy and beautiful.

Because in the future, there will be a lot of pilgrims and scholars who play on the back of the mountain.

It's too ugly to charge tickets... It's incense money and accommodation money. If it's too ugly, I'm embarrassed to charge too much. Including the houses of the slaves, they must also be beautiful.

In particular, the two large "annexes" in front of the mountain must be exquisite! More bricks and tiles, to create fine stones;

Build a few more small yards, and in the future, there will definitely be big wives and concubines who can't stand the jealousy and power in the backyard, and come to live for a long time.

This kind of person is an important, stable and long-term source of money.

Therefore, this kind of small courtyard has high requirements for details.

~~~~~

Wen Cheng left behind the person who could speak Chinese and Qiang, as well as the one called "Aqumu".

This person is a serious "unstable element" and needs to see what to do with it.

Wen Cheng said: "Tell me about your origins"

After translation,

"You let me go, I'll give you gold! Lots and lots of gold."

"You yourself are slaves, and I won't believe what you promise."

"I can also give you twenty samurai, ten beautiful maids"

"I don't need a samurai, and I don't need a maid. Tell me who you are and how you were abducted by human traffickers. ”

"I'm the head of the Niu Division! My brother used to come here a lot to buy pottery and sell it to other tribes.

This time I wanted to go to the place of the Han people and see the prosperity of Han'an. As a result, in Shu County, he encountered the Mosha Department and fought with the Han army; was inexplicably caught and taken as a 'trap'.

The grandson of Moshabu clearly recognizes me as Aqumu!

Lao Tzu must go back and slaughter them!

Later, when he climbed the city wall, he fell unconscious and was sold to human traffickers by the Han army. ”

- Hey, what's the matter?

A leader who has made outstanding contributions to the economy of Han'an County was inexplicably captured as a slave!

The Qiang Barbarian branch (mao) lives in the Jinsha River, Yalong River, and Nujiang River.

There are many tribes over there, and they are constantly killing each other, and they have been fighting each other for thousands of years.

The Jinsha River is turning over the golden waves

It seems that this Aqumu family should not be bad for money

The barbarians in that area are not bad for money, but bad for ordinary daily necessities!

And before, they didn't have the concept of money. Don't be the one who was pitted by our ancestors

a pile of pottery bowls in exchange for a few yaks from others; A bronze lamp was exchanged for dozens of catties of gold sand from others; A piece of cloth in exchange for someone else's big girl......

This kind of thing is not less!

It is equivalent to exchanging an iron pot for a Xiongnu horse in later generations, and the Persians using glass marbles in exchange for our gold.

~~~~~~

"How do you prove you're the headman?" Wen asked

I saw that Aqumu, untie the belt of his trousers, reach out and grope between his hips, and take out a gold-inlaid jade brand......

What does it do?

It turns out that there is a historical basis for the "hidden mine in the crotch"?

Wen Cheng asked the man who knew the Han and Qiang languages to go to the creek to clean his waist card - it was disgusting.

Wen Cheng waved his hand: "You go down to work first." I want to eat and get my work done. I'll keep an eye on the docks, and if any of your people come, I'll let you go!"

If you let you go now, you won't be able to go ten miles and eight miles! ”

Aqumu bowed, bowed, and went to carry the stones.

It's busy

~~~~~

I only hear "...... In the middle of the night, I went to the courtyard over the wall, and the little widow said that I was naΓ―ve...... If you don't leave the gate, why bother drilling into the dog hole...... The king told me to patrol the mountains... Yes; Whose lady is crazy... Yo yo yo, isn't this the second lang of the Wen family and the clerk? Hahaha, isn't it now, I have to call you Wen Zuo? ”

Wen Cheng took a look, and it turned out to be Shi Shilang, the younger brother of the county lieutenant and known as "Shit Shell Lang".

This product has a grease head powder noodles and a flam tongue.

Relying on his brother to be the third-in-command in Han'an County, he specializes in casino lending and calamity to women from good families...... Well, no, it's not a picky eater.

up to the age of not being confused, down to the age of tens; The ugly and beautiful, this fang seems to be face blind, and it can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, and it drills holes.

As soon as he went to wander around the township, men, women, young and old, wolves and rabbits, all had to hide...... This fang won't let even the men go.

- Good masculine style, in ancient times, not strange

This fang's mantra: "The man has done more men and women than you have done!" ”

In Han'an County, only two people's ancestors are mentioned the most

One is Kong Xiaoer; One is this product.

The difference is: when others mention Kong Xiaoer's ancestor, they must say that Kong Laoer, who has been separated by 20 generations.

Then there was a look of reverence......

~~~~~

When it comes to the ancestors of this goods

100% all:

Only mention his eight generations of ancestors

Then spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm: I his eight generations of ancestors!
