In the name of the Changshi Mansion, the female slave was granted the official status. There are many benefits, which Liu Bei did not expect.

When it comes to the evil slave trade, nature is inseparable from war.

The defeated even have the tradition of raising cities, clans, and countries as slaves. Nowadays, the Roman slave trade was prevalent. In some of the largest Roman cities, slaves were displayed in the market along with other goods, and were sold by open bidding according to gender, age, specialty, etc. Similar to the auctions of later generations.

Slave traders, rich and powerful. It can even control national politics and control a city. In the later period, there was also the cultivation of custom slaves, etc., and more refined divisions. For example, customize a pharmacist, soothsayer, butler, accountant, cook, warrior, dancer, and favorite **, and so on.

The kings of many city-states also doubled as slave traders. The population plundered in large quantities during the war was openly or semi-openly resold into slavery.

The auction hammer of later generations has not appeared nowadays. The seller whips the ground three times as a sign of the deal.

When the lot is a beautiful slave girl and she is a virgin.

Bidders in the audience are often so excited that their muscles are bursting up, their eyes are bloodshot, and their spit is splashing. They all desperately shouted out quotes from their throats with terrible howls to express their heart's extreme thirst.

It is said that the scene was extremely hot and tragic. No less than the superstar concerts of later generations.

The shouts of waving arms came and went, and the price rose all the way. There are also stretchers and doctors on call outside the store. Treat those who were carried out, shouted until they fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen, foamed at the mouth, and even went insane.

And what is the price of slaves nowadays?

The silk robes made in the Western Regions that were worn by Caesar and caused a sensation in Rome (silk hufu, mostly processed by countries in the Western Regions, and then sold along the Silk Road). Can be exchanged for a dozen (12) healthy slave girls. A whole piece of silk can even be easily exchanged for a noble lady or a princess of a small country. And it can also ensure that there is one less, two, or even three virginity is not lost.

It shows how strong Dahan's purchasing power is. Even later, at the end of the Maritime Silk Road, in Egypt and other Arab regions, a single piece of porcelain was equivalent to the price of a few healthy slaves. Bring a boatload of bottles and cans over, and you are the king.

The slave trade, which was popular in the Roman Empire, was quickly carried forward by slave empires such as Sabbation and Kushan. Nowadays, slave auctions are endured throughout Eurasia.

Remove me.

It is precisely because of the popularity and legalization of the slave trade. It also gave birth to an entire slave ecosystem.

Slaves had an extremely strong double brand of slavery and freedom.

On the one hand, there is a desperate desire for freedom, and on the other hand, there is a strong desire to be enslaved by the master.

And according to the wishes of the current owner, the slave contract is passed back and forth between different slave owners.

The supreme right of the 'master' is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Just like in the prison camps, these female slaves bought in the slave markets such as Anxi, Kushan, etc., were transferred to the queen by their respective caravan masters. The slave girls agreed to the full transmission of the contract. Stay with the new owner. With the capture of Hede's family, he was also loaded into a prison cart and became a slave (a prisoner under the stairs) like a slave. So, enslaved the new master of the original owner, Liu Bei. became the recognized new master of the slave girls.

In other words. The so-called 'plenipotency' contract is passed not only by buying and selling, but also by plundering.

In the final analysis, these female slaves were originally plundered.

The "identity wooden slip" granted by Liu Bei in the name of the long history of the Western Regions was regarded by the female slaves as the embodiment of the contract. Later, it was called: body.

It is not uncommon for slaves to marry slaves. The conclusion of such a relationship does not affect the continuation of the slave contract. Even the sons of slaves are owned by slave owners.

Because of the words that came first, the redeemer only had the right to use. Therefore, in the hearts of female slaves, their master is still Liu Bei. He obeyed Liu Bei's orders. As an evil slave owner, Liu Bei can take what he wants and do whatever he wants.

However. As a noble prince of the Han Dynasty who grew up in the feudal kingdom since childhood-

and "General Fu Han, the long history of the Western Regions, the young hero, the heavenly unicorn, the guardian of the northern territory, the plough of the grassland, the shepherd of the Xianbei clan, the one who feeds ten thousand horses, the co-master of Donghu, the reindeer man of Dongqiang, the bull-eared person of the Western Regions, the eight-foot ape arm bee waist night royal seven female hanging bell queen Gu Yumian Feilong was born Liu Sandun Lord (the above excerpt is from this chapter of the Gudao hot intestine reader "Qiu Kajin", please keep it in parentheses)", how can these people brave the wind and rain, drift across the ocean, cross the mountains and mountains, eat and sleep in the open air, and die for a lifetime, The female slaves of the vassal states who arrived in the Western Regions thousands of miles away, how difficult is it for a strong man?

Right.

It can well be imagined.

'Tuoba Bebo' plus 'indentured female slaves'. The family combination strengthened by the double contract will definitely be loyal to Liu Bei.

Dry it and hand it over to them to garrison, Liu Bei can put a hundred hearts.

Liu Bei does what he says. Houses, fields, cattle and sheep are indispensable.

But what about manpower?

This urgently ordered Cao Zhang Meng, the government to lead thousands of households to Tuntian, and more than 10,000 people moved to its Qiancheng to settle. Open up the wasteland and divide it with new households. He also ordered all the countries of the Western Regions to produce skilled craftsmen and move their families to its Qiancheng.

Hundreds of workers live in a house. The large China World Market in Midtown was first zoned.

Compared with marching and fighting, Changshi is better at governing the city.

The embassy of the vassal kingdom in the inner city followed closely after the plan was determined.

Renovation of the underground water network and washing plumbing sprinkler facilities are also being planned.

The recent batch of skilled workers in the countryside is far away in Chang'an. This is 600 miles urgent, and the chief bookkeeper Jia Xu is urgently ordered to send a light car of 400 miles to the Western Regions.

Hopefully arrive within the year.

There is no difficulty in launching the clay pipe. Let's finish laying the most important main sewer network first.

As for the renovation of the city, there are also good works in the Western Regions!

When building this city, Ban Dingyuan spared no expense.

The city is a heavy building, and the foundation wall is up to five feet (1.2 meters) thick. Think about how thick and long the matching wooden beams and columns should be.

All of them are cut down from the White Mountain, and then down the river, and then used the cattle and horses to take over the giant trees of the White Mountain.

It is expected that the giant tree is too heavy and not conducive to transportation. Ban Dingyuan took precautions and planted spruce all over the city. Many of the open spaces in the city have now grown into dense forests. Many hundred-year-old giant trees, 20 zhang (45 meters) high, need to be hugged by two people (DBH 1 meter).

It is suitable to be the pillar of the main hall.

Absorb the life and death lesson of King Wei who took it without telling him, and privately dug wood and splashed his face with blood and even a life. On the auspicious day, Liu first prepared an altar to worship, and recited words in his mouth to comfort the gods of the Quartet. After the ceremony is over, the big sawing is taken.

Sure enough, nothing was out of the ordinary.

The only drawback is that there is a lot of water. In order to prevent dryness and cracking, Liu Bei ordered people to dig a deep pond at the construction site and use a water tanker to bring in enough salt water from the nearby salt lake to inject it. Soak all the giant trees of the White Mountain in it and turn them into salted wood. Then remove the 'yin dry' (yīn gān, place it in a ventilated place and slowly dry out without seeing the sun) and set aside.

The old man's family is still on the way. The envoys of all nations arrived together.

Seeing inside and outside the city, it has become a large construction site.

They all looked sideways.

Such a large-scale construction project, what a long history seeks is great.
