Tuoba opened his mouth, wanting to make Qin Luo give up this ridiculous idea, but he couldn't find the words to refute it. In fact, Tuoba also knew that slavery was a cruel and barbaric system of exploitation that had to be abolished. But this is a deep-rooted system that Xiang Qiang has been rooted in for a hundred years, and it can be abolished if it is abolished.

Even a few forward-thinking people knew that slavery had fallen behind and was no longer fit for the times. But because it is extremely difficult to abolish a system. So, no one has ever proposed, let alone intended, to do the impossible.

And Qin Luo, who planned to challenge the powerful, put forward such a grand ideal that shocked the world and wept ghosts and gods.

"And what are you going to do?" Tuoba asked tentatively, he thought that Qin Luo was just a whim, and he hadn't thought of specific measures yet.

Unexpectedly, Qin Luo actually smiled slightly, obviously confident, and then slowly said six words: "Waste well field, open a strange place." ”

Seeing Tuoba Yan's puzzled eyes, Qin Luo took a step forward to explain, talking about abolishing the well-field system, implementing private ownership of land, allowing people to open up wasteland, allowing land to be bought and sold freely, rewarding farming, encouraging production, and so on.

Qin Luo talked eloquently, and he could say that everything was slashed into it. Tuoba Yan held his chin on the side, listening with relish, sometimes frowning, sometimes clapping his hands and laughing. The two of them sat around the fire, and the evening breeze gently blew their hair and clothes, but they did not feel cold, as if they were unconscious, one could speak, the other could listen. The two stayed up all night and talked all night, but they didn't know that the East was white.

Tuoba Yan has always wanted to change the nomadic people of Xiangqiang into an agrarian country, and if they want to develop, they have to learn from Southern Chu. Now that Qin Luo has said what Tuoba Yan wants to do but doesn't know how to do, except for the abolition of slavery, which is somewhat incomprehensible, the other Tuoba Yan can accept it.

However, all of this has to make a fuss about the abolition of slavery. Tuoba Yan looked at Qin Luo, looked at Qin Luo's determined gaze, and finally agreed, "Okay, then abolish slavery." Qin Luo, this matter is left to you, you can do it boldly. ”

Qin Luo basically imitated the old practice of the Shang Dynasty reform, removing slaves and distributing land. In the eyes of people who don't know the history of the Central Plains, this set seems to be nonsense. In the eyes of blacksmith Sun, Liu Changfeng and Wei Mu Basang, they are organized and will succeed. Qin Luo was too busy later, so he found Wei Mu Basang again, and the two worked out a preliminary plan together.

Qin Luo's side was in full swing, but Blacksmith Sun's face became more and more heavy. Finally, he couldn't help but make an appointment with Qin Luo and asked, "What are you doing!" ”

"Abolish slavery." Qin Luo replied as a matter of course.

"Heh, I know." Blacksmith Sun was angry, "But, who are you doing to abolish slavery?" ”

"Substitute...... Xiang Qiang slaves. Qin Luo replied.

"Wrong, you're helping Xiang Qiang, helping Tuobayan." Blacksmith Sun said angrily, "Why are you doing this, have you forgotten that you are from Chu?" ”

"I haven't forgotten." Qin Luo was also a little angry, his voice was slightly louder, "I said, I'm for Xiang Qiang's slave." ”

"What does Xiang Qiang slave have to do with you?" Blacksmith Sun asked rhetorically.

"If it's okay, can't you help them?" Qin Luo said.

Blacksmith Sun was a little stunned, not knowing what to say. Qin Luo said: "Uncle Sun, I understand your worries, the oath I made, I don't know how to speak. I was not bought by Tuoba Yan, and I did not covet the position of prime minister. I just pity these slaves and want to help them as much as I can. ”

"I know that slaves live at the bottom and are beaten and scolded, which is very pitiful. But......" said blacksmith Sun weakly, "they are Xiangqiang. ”

"There are also good and bad people in Xiangqiang, and the slaves have not done anything to be sorry for the Chu State, they are innocent."

"But...... But ......" blacksmith Sun was dumbfounded, "but" for a long time, but there was no follow-up.

"Uncle Sun, I know how to measure, don't worry."

"Hey." Blacksmith Sun shook his head and sighed, "That's it, whatever you want." It's just that reform is not easy for any country. Although Xiang Qiang now has the final say, there are still clans behind him. They will not agree to the abolition of slavery, you are sorry to do it yourself. ”

Blacksmith Sun's prophecy was indeed accurate, and sure enough, the clan and nobility were the greatest obstacles to the abolition of slavery. They have long been reluctant to let a Chu man serve as prime minister, and now that they have a new handle in their hands, how can they not attack Qin Luo?

On the contrary, some military generals in the DPRK and China, as well as some far-reaching ministers, were very supportive of Qin Luo's reform. Even Jimmy was surprised and delighted when he heard the news, and cried with joy.

"Back then, although I was the personal maid of the Khan's side, I was courteous to the Khan and respected by the ministers, but I was still a slave in the end, I did not get out of the slave status, and I was always inferior." When Jimmy said this, he remembered the times when he was a slave, "I seem to be arrogant, but in fact I have low self-esteem, especially after my hands are injured, and I even want to die." ”

"It's all gone, it's all gone." Alem hugged Jimmy tightly, "You are married to me now, you are my wife, and you have long been out of slavery." ”

"But my sisters, they're still slaves." Jimmy's eyes were full of tears, "I would love to save them from fire and water, but I don't dare, I don't dare offer to set them free." But now, Qin Luo has brought it up. ”

"Qin Luo, he's really a hero." Alem couldn't help but sigh, "He did something that we didn't dare to do for a hundred years." ”

The first year of the Heavenly Saint, March. Prime Minister Qin Luo proposed a change for the first time, saying, "Waste the well field, open the Qianmo." In addition to the subordination, change the fiefdom. The court was in an uproar. The royal family and nobles jointly wrote a letter opposing the change, but to no avail. In April of the same year, Prime Minister Qin Luo officially announced the abolition of slavery, which shook the world.

Regarding the abolition of slavery this time, there was naturally a lot of resistance, and Qin Luo fought hard in the imperial court, and argued with those clan nobles with a three-inch tongue.

On that day, Qin Luo announced the strategy of Great Wei as the prime minister. As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the Golden Palace, and voices of opposition rose one after another.

The resistance to change the law is to be expected. Qin Luo faced the courtiers of the clan alone, and he had no intention of retreating.

The ministers launched attacks one after another, which was nothing more than saying that the ancestral legal system and the country could not be changed more chaotically. It is also said that changing the law and disrupting the country and abolishing slavery is an act that does not discriminate between dignity and inferiority. Some people even say that Qin Luo was born in Southern Chu, and his heart must be different, guessing that the change of law is a way to weaken and disrupt the Great Wei.

In the end, the ministers knelt down and shouted: "Qin Luo is a demon who has died in the country, please kill it to thank the world!" ”

Compared with the righteous indignation of the ministers, Qin Luo seemed to be at ease. He listened and watched coldly, ignoring the malicious attacks.

When the noisy voices of the ministers slowly calmed down, Qin Luo began his tirade: "You only talk about the disadvantages of changing the law, but you don't know the disadvantages of the old law. And slavery has many drawbacks: first,...... In the end, the conflict between the aristocracy and the slaves intensified, and even led to war, which led to turmoil in the world and the displacement of people's lives. As a result, the world today is no longer suitable for slavery. ”

"I have questions, please ask the prime minister." An opposition member stood up and questioned, "Once the law is changed, the government and the opposition will be in turmoil, and if there is a war, there will be a danger of destroying the country." What should the Prime Minister do about this?

"The reason for the turmoil in the reform is caused by conflicts of interest. If we are united and fully supportive, how can there be turmoil? The slave revolt is the greatest turmoil of our time. On the contrary, if the bad system can be abolished, it will be the best medicine to prevent unrest. ”

The man was annoyed and angry, and said, "This is sophistry. You say it's good to change the law, but what's good? Can it enrich the country and the people, or can we make Great Wei compete for hegemony in the world? ”

I saw Qin Luo smile calmly and calmly: "The two items you said can be achieved." Abolishing slavery and taking the middle-aged and powerful slaves for their own use and integrating them into the army can strengthen the country. Policies such as abandoning well fields, opening up fields, rewarding farming, and encouraging production are exactly the laws of enriching the country and enriching the people. ”

Then Qin Luo talked eloquently, explaining the so-called abandoned well fields, opening up the country, and implementing private ownership of land. This explanation has been explained for an hour, and it is almost time.

Where can Xiang Qiang argue with Qin Luo, they are all speechless. Tuoba Yan sat on it and watched the show until the end, when he made a decision: "Since there is no objection, then abolish slavery and start changing the law." ”
