"Name!"

“…… Jin Yao. ”

"Age!"

“28。”

"ID number!"

“10001220007290083。”

"Hey, I really memorized it...... Ahem, do you know where you are wrong? ”

"Illegal use of slaves, sentenced to five years of labor reform by the House of Elders."

"What else?"

"And yes, you really want to know? Okay, it's a cutscene, you're almost done. I'll have to dig a ditch. If you really want to ask anything else, you should report to the Military Yuan first, and get permission to come over. ”

"Don't think I can't take care of you. That's it, I really have to let you say it today! ”

This is in the swamp in the northwest corner of Asabin Castle, where the swamp people used to live and is now called Hot Water Village.

The place where we talked was a thatched house. The mud brick walls and roof are paved with thatch, which can be found everywhere. It's just that this house is taller and sturdier than the ones I saw a few years ago, with half of the white lime plastered on the walls, and a glass window on one wall. The desks and chairs in the room are also sturdy and neat, making the room look very simple and comfortable.

The interlocutor went out in anger, and there were two rows of similar rooms outside the door. On either side of the house were fields as far as the eye could see, and a road with considerable ground leading to the east along a wide ditch.

The development of this swamp by the forest trails began after the victory in the war against the deer. Of course, the large-scale investment in manpower came after the four-year winter of slavery reform in China.

When slaves were first nationalized, many people were unfamiliar with slave leases, so the kingdom had a large number of surplus slaves. After the wasteland around Asabayashi Castle was basically developed, the Government Council began to organize slaves into the swamp on a large scale, and began to drain the wasteland according to the precursor of the forest traces.

Jin Yao came in before the slaves came in. At this time in the summer of the sixth year of Huaxia, he had been here for more than a year.

This conversation is basically once a month. The original purpose was probably to have the local responsible person educate the prisoners in a certain way. Helplessly, the village chief who is responsible for managing Jin Yao is more than a little worse than Jin Yao in all aspects. Therefore, this kind of conversation education is just a formality.

Jin Yao was naturally impatient with this kind of thing. Because the final report of the conversation was written by himself. This village chief doesn't know enough words to write an article.

However, the village chief was extremely enthusiastic about this kind of conversation because he could interrogate the former chief of staff, but he was limited to the rules of the post and the rules of secrecy, and he could not hear much information.

Jin Yao naturally ignored the threat of the village chief, and he had already been very familiar with the village chief for more than a year here. Although he is a laborer here, because of his highest knowledge, he helped the village chief to do the planning, construction plan, production plan, application for materials and personnel, etc.

Because of this, this place with hot springs and not far from Asabin Castle is about to become a leisure resort this winter, welcoming the people of Asabin Castle, including forest ruins, to escape the cold. As a result, the village chief will return to Chaolin City, enter the school, and wait for promotion.

It's just that the village chief seems to have to play a majestic show in front of Jin Yao today, and after he went out, he quickly came in with a document with the seal of the Military Academy.

I'm going to be released early? Or did the king remember himself? Jin Yao was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Then he saw two young men and women wearing collared shirts coming in behind the village chief. The village chief grinned at Jin Yao and hurriedly introduced: "Two Shangguan, this is Jin Yao, a prisoner of labor reform, the former chief of staff of the Military Academy. He has been in labor camp here for one year and eight months, and he is very capable, able to endure hardships, and has a very good attitude. Most of the villages you saw just now were built with suggestions he gave after he came. Our village can be recognized by the king, and he is indispensable...... I'll go out and keep watch, you talk, you talk. ”

The village chief put down the documents in his hand and retreated, and glared at Jin Yao, asking him to behave well.

Jin Yao was suddenly a little inexplicably moved at this moment. Being able to help him say this at this time may be all that this Jiupin village chief can do for him.

But this is obviously not the time for excitement and feeling, Jin Yao took a deep breath, lowered his head and looked at the document, and quickly stabilized his emotions.

There are two simple lines written on the document: "Li Yihuo and Shang Youzhen are hereby dispatched to have an in-depth conversation with Jin Yao (ID number 10001220007290083) of the labor reform prisoner, and they can talk about Jin Yao's work in the staff post." Please cooperate with it. Himeshi's beak. ”

After Shi Beak was promoted to major general, he stayed in Chaolin City, and Jin Yao didn't know what he was responsible for, but his signature Jin Yao still knew.

Jin Yao looked up at the two young men, trying to see something on their faces first.

The two young men should not be more than twenty years old, their shirts are neat, but there are inevitably a lot of muddy spots on their trousers. There are many such young people in Chaolin City. After graduating from junior high school, they were sent to work in various places outside the city for a year or two, and then they were selected to work at the grassroots level in the city. The hemp collared shirt is their favorite and a symbol of their status.

Jin Yao didn't see any more information than seeing the girl wearing a ten-division armband, so he asked, "What department are the two from?" ”

The boy first introduced himself: "My name is Li Yihuo, and I am from the Department of Development of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. General Officer. ”

"I'm from the Office of the Military Academy." Girls are even more precious to words.

Jin Yao knew that such a young man didn't know how to be tactful, and he had always been straightforward. Although he didn't know why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would come to talk to him with the people from the Military Yuan, he didn't dare to ask more questions at this time. I had to wait for the other party to open up after introducing myself.

"Do you know what you're doing wrong?" The boy spoke, and the girl took out her notebook and began to record the questions one by one.

"The illegal use of slaves and the overstepping of his authority at the front line during his tenure as chief of staff, exercising the duties of the commander-in-chief, while failing to fulfill his duty to collect enemy information and subdivide the battlefield......"

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Yes ......"

"After realizing these mistakes, have you thought about correcting them?"

"I've thought about it."

"But as far as we know, as a prisoner here, you are still involved in the construction command of Shuhui Village, the formulation of construction plans, road and village planning, etc., how do you explain these?" The young officer's voice became louder, and he took out a few pieces of paper, which were all plans in Jin Yao's handwriting, specification drawings, and so on.

A prisoner in a labor camp did what the village chief should do, but he still exceeded his authority.

Jin Yao glanced at this young man with extremely strong aggression, and said calmly: "As a prisoner of labor reform, my daily work is to obey the arrangements of the village, dig ditches, open up wasteland, build houses, mow grass, and so on. My workload is the same as that of other prisoners, and I am able to do my own work every day. In addition to doing these tasks well, as an ordinary member of the kingdom, I saw that the villages of the kingdom were deficient in the construction process, so I provided certain suggestions and plans to the village chief, and shared part of the village chief's work as much as I could. ”

Li Yihuo and Shang Youzhen glanced at each other, and the latter recorded Jin Yao's words in full.

Li Yihuo flipped through his notebook and asked a more pointed question: "What do you think about the assassination case in Nonglin Lane?" ”

In addition to the propaganda of the Propaganda Department, the Nonglin Lane assassination incident is a taboo existence in the kingdom. No matter what the occasion is mentioned, it is absolutely politically correct to try to criticize the murderer, and the rest is about the aftermath of the impact of the case.

On the day of the crime, the murderer Chang You died, roared to death, and the tiger barbarian wise man committed suicide in fear of crime. Two guards involved in the case were brutalized and killed in public.

In addition, the House of Elders, the Intelligence Department, the Police Department, and the then Slave Administration Department turned the entire city of Chaolin and its surroundings upside down, and a total of 441 people were directly or indirectly involved in the incident. All of these people were beheaded after the verdict was pronounced behind the west gate of Chaolin City, and their bodies were exposed until the spring before they were buried.

In addition, all the families of these 441 people, more than 2,700 people, were moved to distant Lake Baikal as slaves, and were punished with no access to seeds, technology, industrial products, etc., brought by the forest for the rest of their lives, that is, they had to return to the Stone Age to survive in the bitter cold. Presumably, this will make life worse than death for those who have already enjoyed sharp tools and high-yielding seeds.

But they may not have a chance to turn around in their lifetime. Because the House of Elders stipulates that their descendants cannot enjoy education for up to three generations. Three generations later...... I'm afraid that these people will also be extinct.

In addition, the most significant impact of the incident was, of course, the nationalization of slaves. There was also a lot of bloodshed in the execution of this matter. It has cost some people who are lucky to pay a heavy price. It's just that these things are less publicized and the public doesn't know much.

When these things are combined, everyone mentions them, or for fear that the politics will be incorrect, or they will be contaminated with the aftermath, and the Nonglin Lane incident will naturally become a taboo.

Things have developed to such an extent except that the kingdom really cannot leave the king, lest the king be harmed. A lot of other things are actually worth playing. After many years, Jin Yao has more or less heard more insiders, and after analyzing it himself, he has some opinions of his own.

For example, Songyan's suicide in fear of sin, and what he said when he died, "We are afraid" and so on.

Songyan was the largest slave owner in the kingdom at the time, privately owning more than a dozen farms. With the seed yield provided by the king, the output of these farms must be staggering. In addition to the consumption of a part of the slaves themselves, Song Yan finally investigated and punished the population of his own family of only twenty-one people, where did his output go?

Jin Yao's analysis of the situation of several Eminem who were Jin Yao's descendants from the kingdom felt that it was very likely that the grain was finally handed over to Hu Aman. Because Hu Aman, as the de facto leader of the Tiger Barbarian, the Tiger Barbarian will definitely need huge resources to support him when he is thriving in all aspects of the kingdom. Nearly half of the slave owners involved were born in Human, which means that in the final analysis, this is a conflict of interests between Human and the king.

If this matter hadn't been borne by Song Yan and he committed suicide in front of the king, maybe he would have been implicated on Hu Aman's side. Therefore, after Songyan's death, the king did not come out of the door, because he did not want to investigate the deeper interests of this matter. In order to clear up the relationship between the Tiger Barbarian tribe and protect the status of the Tiger Barbarian tribe within the kingdom, Hu Aman, who was in charge of the House of Elders, did not hesitate to kill some of the Tiger Barbarians and showed them to Lin Ji, which had such a tragic consequence.

As for what Song Yan said when he died, "We are afraid", Jin Yao felt that it actually had a purpose.

First of all, he was naturally afraid that the slave tax would be too high to make the use of slaves unprofitable.

Secondly, he also expressed concern about the future. The appearance of forest ruins has made this land change dramatically in just a few years, and everyone's living habits have completely changed, which is different from the legends of all tribes, and everyone's hearts will naturally be confused and even afraid.

Looking back, Jin Yao felt that the trajectory of his life was also a little unreal. When he first went hunting in those years, he fought hard with wild beasts every day to survive, and then he worked for a long time in the most luxurious house in the world because he knew some symbols and knew a little bit of arithmetic, and he also participated in commanding a battle of tens of thousands of people. When these things are compared, he will have a sense of unreality, and he always feels that some of them are fake. Especially now that he has become a prisoner in labor camp.

He will be like this, not to mention the pine face who has worked this land for most of his life. Presumably, his fear of such a world may be even greater. This may also be the common psychology of many people in China now.

Through this, Song Yan also told the king that the reason why he wanted to carry out such an assassination was because he was afraid of the future brought by the forest traces, and did not involve anything more. This was enough for Lin Ji to remove some of his wariness of the tiger barbarians. In this matter, Song Yan can be said to have sacrificed everything for Human.

Of course, these are all conclusions that Jin Yao analyzed in his heart through a little information, and it is impossible to say it when he faces the first two young people.

So, what should he say at this point?

In this occasion, which may be related to his own future fate, if he only expresses political correctness according to the propaganda caliber, it would seem too banal, and he can't say anything deep, Jin Yao fell into a short contemplation.

At the moment when Jin Yao was silent, there were smiles on Li Yihuo's immature face, as if he was a little contemptuous, as if he was saying that the former chief of staff was nothing more than that.

Jin Yao looked at Li Yihuo, and suddenly remembered himself when he was young, and then understood that the provocation of this young officer may be just part of the conversation, and it was all designed on the way here.

I'm still too young. He sighed in his heart, and quickly organized what he wanted to express: "After the king has produced these high-yielding seeds, farming can bring us enough food, so the use of slaves has become the easiest way to earn profits. The advantage of this method is that it can be profitable in the long term without much technology, so once the slave owners start using slaves, they will not want to make progress and oppose progress. In the king's plan, we should have enough people to carry out industrial labor to improve everyone's living standards and medical technology, which is precisely in contradiction with the interests of these slave owners. These slave owners were afraid of progress and of being deprived of their own interests, which is why they did such things. In fact, if the motivation of slaves is increased a little, even if the slave use tax is paid at the highest level, the use of slaves is still profitable. But the slave owners would rather do such things than find a way to progress, which shows how this slavery will affect the progress of our kingdom......"

Jin Yao talked about this endlessly, and Li Yihuo listened to it, and slowly listened to it.

Shang Youzhen recorded this passage of Jin Yao's words in Shasha. When Jin Yao was speaking, he paid attention for a while, and found that this Shang Youzhen still used a ballpoint pen, which is rare among basic officials. immediately guessed whether she was from the Shang tribe and what her relationship was with Shang Yuhe.

After answering the question, the two young men exchanged a full account of the notes before continuing the conversation.

By this time, Li Yihuo's sharpness seemed to be gone, and the remaining questions seemed to have completely become a formulaic assessment.

"What do you think of the floods that happened in Hong'an County this year?"

"Do you believe that the earth is round?"

"And how long do you think it will take to circle the Earth?"

"What do you think about a nutritionally balanced diet?"

"What do you think you should do if you enter an unfamiliar environment and meet some strange people?"

"If you were to lead thirty to fifty people and only stay in a place of less than three hundred square meters for half a year or even a year, how would you manage them?"

The questions are fragmentary, and there are many things that Jin Yao has never heard, thought or touched at all, even if he thinks he has seen people. He could only answer as best he could, and before he knew it, the conversation was going on into the evening.

Shang Youzhen wrote a book full of books, during which he shook his hands from time to time to relieve the fatigue of his wrists. When the conversation finally ended, the two did not stop, but got on an elephant that had been prepared for a long time and rushed back to Chaolin City overnight.

Until they left, Jin Yao didn't figure out what they meant, and he didn't see any clues from these questions. Because he himself did not know what these questions really meant, until after the autumn harvest.
