Chapter 5 Song of the Wandering Dynasty

Chaoge, formerly known as Moyi, has begun to be built in the Wending period, with a radius of 50 miles, and is a new capital built by the power of the entire Shang Dynasty. Wild history records: Wen Ding was still reciting the new capital of his own before he died, which was the greatest pride of his life, and repeatedly asked Zixian (that is, Di Yi) to move the capital, and Di Yi directly moved the capital to Moyi after succeeding to the throne and changed its name to Chaoge.

Chaoge is far from being as beautiful as described in the Romance of the Gods, but it is also in the northwest according to Taihang, so Chaoge is surrounded by mountains hundreds of miles away, and this place belongs to the Haihe River Basin, and the rivers in the territory are very developed. However, the song in front of him still made Wang Sanzhu very disappointed, what kind of first city in the ages is this! The main road of Chaoge is paved with bluestone, no more than 50 meters wide, most of the buildings on both sides are mud walls, wooden beams, thatched roofs, wooden railings, only the royal palace and the houses of the great nobles have huge stones for the walls and giant trees for the beams, all of which are inferior to the most ordinary small cities! No wonder he was exterminated by thousands of soldiers and a group of rebellious slaves of the Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't help but shake his head, looking at the ox cart bench on the bluestone road and the passengers sitting on the bench, sighing!

Wang Sanzhu is still full of curiosity about everything around him, what a simple world, what fresh air! The sky is as blue as the eye can see! Wild birds are flying and chirping, and crowds come and go, this is a real livable city! This is the real place of health! Breathing in the fresh air that he could only breathe outdoors in his previous life, and feeling the slight breeze, Wang Sanhammer suddenly found that he liked this sudden world a little, where there was no crazy desire for money and strong vanity; Here, there is no such thing as 996; did not work 36 consecutive hours of overtime; Here, there may be something I need in my dreams! My pursuit, my dream!

Suddenly, the memories of Wang Sanzhu's past and present lives were completely fused together like a whirlwind and clouds, Wang Sanzhu is Zishou, Zishou is Wang Sanzhu, the only difference is that the arrogant Zishou has become Wang Sanhammer filled with memories after 2,000 years.

Wang Sanhammer, who was happy in his heart, took Shuang Ling and others into the snack bar and tasted all kinds of snacks and meat with simple methods; The shape of the clothing store is simple, only the robes of different colors, he found the same tiger skin skirt series wolf skin skirt series as his home, looking at the men and women wearing these clothes in the clothing store, he couldn't help laughing, causing the white eyes to continue, so that Shuang Ling and others are looking down at their feet, it's too embarrassing! There are all kinds of bronzes in the coppersmith shop, there is actually a bronze sword, he picked it up and played it, and slashed it hard against another bronze sword, all of a sudden, the sword broke, the shopkeeper hurriedly pulled the non-compliance, Shuang Ling stepped forward to compensate for the matter, Wang Sanhammer was still excited, looking at Shuang Ling's somewhat pale little face, the blackened face of the guard, he could only hold back a smile and continue to move forward. People of different classes wear different clothes in Chaoge, and the style of aristocratic clothes is relatively gorgeous and the texture is relatively good, such as Wang Sanhammer's silk robe, people will bow their heads when they see it, and the clothes of the commoners are relatively simple, and the texture is simple.

Walking through the crowd, there is a sound of bargaining from time to time, a few shells and a few shells shouting, there are a lot of shops on the street, but the number of goods is very small, they are all lined up at the door of the store near the street, it is very obvious, he looks at these, it can be regarded as a dazzling array of it!

At this time, a group of people in front of them surrounded a platform, shouting something, very lively, Wang Sanhammer took Shuang Ling's little hand and rushed forward with the flow of people, and the guards around him hurriedly stepped forward to open the way, and it was very easy to squeeze to the front row, at this time Shuang Ling said in Wang Sanzhu's ear: "Your Highness, at this time, there are a large number of slaves traded here in the slave market of Chaoge every day, and most of the slaves are from war or broken civilians. ”

"One Shell Coin!" "I'll give you two shells!" "I'm five shells!"

The slave trader knocked the bronze bell in his hand a few times, and when no one responded, he shouted: "Deal!" Immediately the man next to him pulled the slave who was bound and full of despair and walked off the stage, and the owner of the slave took out a seal from his body and followed the man to the red stove next to the platform, and with a scream, the slave's face was imprinted.

Shuang Ling said in a heavy tone with empathy on the side: "Your Highness, in Dashang, we slaves all need to be branded with this brand, and only those of us who have been slaves for generations can avoid this brand, it's very miserable!" As if he thought of something, his whole body seemed to have a lot less strength, and he snuggled in Wang Sanzhu's arms, trembling a little.

Wang Sanzhu hurriedly hugged him lightly and asked, "Shuang Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Your Highness must promise me that you must not brand me!" Shuang Ling's eyes were full of supplication.

Wang Sanzhu, who was heartbroken, hurriedly comforted: "Shuangling, don't worry, I will definitely not." You are so loyal to me, I will ask my father to restore you to your civilian status!" Do we have a lot of slaves in our family? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! "She's so lucky! The spirit is suddenly high! A smile also appeared on his face, and a crisp voice sounded again: "Our family is all slaves except for His Highness!" In fact, in the court songs, it is almost the same, the nobles used slaves, even among the commoners, most of them work until they die! There are also those who wait for people or are used to procreate, and the most famous in the song is Xibo Hou Jichang, who heard that his house was full of young female slaves, and this person was perverted and loved women. Rumors of Chaoge: He already has more than 100 sons and daughters! It is the largest number of children in the entire Dashang country! ”

Wang Sanhammer couldn't help laughing! He had read the wild history before, and it was recorded that Xibohou had many children, and it seemed that the rumors were true. It's normal to think about it the other way around, and they have eighty or ninety siblings in their family. In this kind of tribal era practiced together by blood relationship, some tribes have only one ancestor, and the others are his children, and gradually multiply, it is normal to have more children! In this era, the matrilineal society is good at mulberry planting, the patrilineal society is good at hunting, and in the tribal era, men go out to hunt, and women farm and weave at home, and there is no difference in the status of men and women! It is not like in later generations, where the status of women is much lower!

At this time, I saw that the slave trader brought up another slave, and I saw that the slave was middle-aged, about six meters tall, with muscles on his body, huge bones, calloused hands, and scars all over his body. This shocked Wang Sanzhu, who saw his strong emotional changes, and he felt that this person must be a resolute general from the military! The mood change is so complicated, it must be from the nobility!

"Let's not talk about this slave's body, everyone knows at a glance that after relevant tests, this slave can lift a stone pier of 1,500 catties! Three thousand pounds! When you buy it back, you have a powerful guard! I want to emphasize that this slave came from an enemy general who was at war with us, and in order to capture this slave, more than 100 strong men were used! It is as a field slave or a workshop coolie, and it is no problem to use it for ten years. Please bid! The slave trader struggled to introduce himself, and as he spoke, he rang the brass bell in his hand vigorously.

The major slave owners in the audience have also watched this slave repeatedly, and it is indeed as the slave dealer said, it is really worth the price, so they started bidding in twos and threes.

Looking at the big man in front of him who was twice as tall as him, especially his deep eyes full of sadness, Wang Sanhammer decided in his heart that he must buy this slave today, and looked at the slave owners around him who bought it back to be used as a coolie, he would definitely be able to tap more useful potential if he bought it back, not to mention that he had just come to this world and needed more help!

After making up his mind, Wang Sanhammer gently asked Shuang Lingdao: "How many strings of shellfish coins did we bring today?" "If you don't have enough money, you're miserable!

Shuang Ling thought for a while, asked the guards beside him, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, today we brought thirty armor coins and eight strings of shell coins. Does His Highness want to buy this big man? According to the convention, it should be around a coin. "A coin is equal to ten shell coins, and a string is generally ten.

In other words, thirty-eight A coins should be enough! Wang Sanhammer couldn't help but nod when he heard it, this Shuang Ling girl is smart, she knows what he is going to do, she looked at Shuang Ling and nodded encouragingly, and then turned her head to look at the crowd of bidders around her

"One Shell Coin!" "Three Shells!" "Five Shells!" ……

The slave trader's ears were like a compass, and he hurriedly shouted: "This master bids three shells!" This host bids five shells! This owner bids eight shells! Are there any bidders? "Keep ringing the brass bell in your hand.

Knowing that it was time for him to make a move, Wang Sanhammer shouted: "One Jiazi!" ”

Suddenly there was silence! Slaves of a coin are rare!
