Chengbei Mine.

Having regained his freedom, he finished his day's work, and while it was still some time before dark, he and two companions went to the local officials and rented a few stone axes and the tools known as pickaxes.

The act of renting tools, the slaves of these mines have done it many times, and the three people who quickly completed the lease matters cherished the tools in their hands.

These simple tools are the hope of their future life, and the buildings that have begun to take shape are their current lives.

"Let's hurry up, I'll go back and get some food later."

One of them looked at the sky.

"Okay, then the two of us go over there and cut wood, you dig this pit deeper here, we have to hurry, there are already people living in it."

Qi said and looked into the distance.

The two of them looked over there, and sure enough, they saw that smoke was rising next to the semi-crypt-like building in the distance.

This made the three of them envious, and they looked at their half-finished house, and they were suddenly full of energy.

Qian and another companion came to the edge of the woods with a stone axe and a rope and chose a tree of about the same size.

Carrying the rope, like a monkey, he quickly climbed to the top of the tree, tied one end of the rope to the tree, and quickly climbed down from the tree.

These days of logging had allowed the two to master the skills, and another companion took the rope and pulled the rope into the distance.

The tools are rudimentary, which makes logging difficult.

The cold weather and the anti-shock force from the stone axe made Qian feel as if his fingers were about to be broken.

The rough hands were not satisfied with the small opening, but as if he didn't care at all, he swung the axe with a focused expression and slashed at the tree one by one.

When the trees made a slight clicking sound, they knew they couldn't cut it down.

He waved his hand at his companion in the distance.

Seeing this, the other person hurriedly pulled the rope closer.

The pull was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the trees fell with a bang, splashing a little snowflake.

The two of them used stone axes to quickly prune the branches of the trees, dragged them with ropes, panting, and it took half an hour to drag the felled trees to the place.

Qian wiped the sweat on his forehead, sat on the wood, looked at the afterglow in the west, and said, "Let's do it here today, let's eat first." ”

"Do you want to talk to the chief, let's dig a few more baskets every day for some food, and let's cook and eat by ourselves, so that we can have some time left."

One of the people in the pit put the pickaxe aside and looked up at the two of them.

"Will this work?"

Qian is skeptical.

"Regardless of whether he can do it or not, what can you be afraid of, we are not slaves now, we are free, we are civilians of the Daqi tribe, and those officials are not like the nobles of the Three Misers to kill us at will, if this thing is really okay, it is a good thing for us, as long as we do more, we can save a lot of food."

The man said in a deep voice.

The two discussed it and agreed to the man's proposal.

At dusk, when the three of them finished receiving their share of food, they told the officials here their demands.

The official did not punish them, but only told them that he could not be the master of this matter and needed to report it to the higher-ups, but just said lightly, told the three of them to go back and wait, and sent everyone away.

Three days later, instead of waiting for good news from the officials, he waited for a group of soldiers and an official wearing an official hat.

The arrival of the soldiers made everyone in the mine very nervous, and everyone put down their work and looked at this group of uninvited guests with anxiety.

This new official obviously has a higher status than the officials stationed here before, and when he saw these people coming, the officials here hurriedly gave up his position and stood behind him with his hands tied, looking like he was obeying orders at any time.

Seeing that the officer seemed to be saying something, he heard the soldiers shouting, "Assemble!"

The miners were a little frightened and did not take a step forward.

The official frowned, probably aware of his arrival and letting these people go.

Then he said something to the soldier beside him.

The soldier's voice sounded again, only this time it was not a assembly, but a stunned sentence.

"Assemble, divide the land, and if you don't come, you're gone."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"Qian, I heard you right, he just ... What did you just say... Divide the land? ”

"Okay... Seems so! ”

Before she could recover from her astonishment, she saw the crowd around her, like ants smelling sweetness, heading towards the pupa where the official was.

Seeing this, the soldiers quickly changed their formation and protected the officer.

Facing a sharp spear, the excited miners kept their senses.

Although the three of them reacted a little slower, they fortunately came back to their senses in time, although they did not squeeze to the front, but they were not too far behind.

The young officer, with his mustache, stood up and told the soldiers to get out of the way.

"I am a household of the Daqi tribe, by the order of the leader, all my Daqi people, no matter the noble or lowly, everyone can have their own piece of land, today I will divide the land for you, you must remember, when dividing the land, you must not make noise, tear and beat, if you find that this person will be disqualified immediately, hope that you and others do not make mistakes."

After Shao Yan finished speaking, the crowd of mines became excited again.

What is the status of Daqi's household, they have been clear during this time, this is one of the most noble people except for the leader.

If this man came and told them about it, it would be true.

"It's really divided, do you hear that? We actually have land. ”

From a lowly slave to a free man, Qian is very satisfied.

But now, the Daqi tribe not only gave him freedom, but also let him have his own land, what kind of treatment is this, in this era, only nobles are worthy of land.

The miners cheered excitedly, and many of them prostrated themselves on the ground, bowing in the direction of the city, praising the benevolent leader of the Great Qi in the most honorable words they could think of.

Shao Yan looked at this group of people with a smile, and through the division of land in the rest of the places, he admired Yang Hao's land policy.

As soon as this policy came out, the people who were allocated the land were completely tied to the chariot of Daqi, and after this incident, it meant that the Daqi tribe had completely replaced the Sanshu Kingdom and firmly occupied this place.

Even if other forces come to attack, the people who have tasted freedom and sweetness will not even need Yang Hao's order to defend their hard-won land.

After all, the fierce folk customs of the barbaric era in ancient times are not comparable to the weak farming people thousands of years later.
