Bai Fan's face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because of embarrassment or because he was angry with this specific gravity, and muttered, "How, how come?" The court doesn't care? Don't you know what it means to be a slave? ”

Everyone present may be from a noble background, and only Du Ruhui and Wei Chigong can be regarded as grassroots, although Du Ruhui's ancestors have also been officials, but Lao Du suffered and starved in Dujiazhuang when he was young.

People from aristocratic backgrounds, not to mention whether they have the consciousness of opposing slaves, that identity position alone makes them unable to stand up against it, at this time, Lao Du came out to speak out because he had a relationship with Bai Fan, and gave him a detailed explanation, under normal circumstances, no one would publicize this matter in public, after all, it is not a glorious thing.

"Jian Zhi, are the slaves you know still the kind of people like Xia Shangzhou who are no different from livestock?

If that's the case, then today's Datang really doesn't have it, at least not on the surface.

The slave I am talking about is called a slave in Datang! ”

Bai Fan woke up suddenly, "Slave? Could it be that he is the slave of the so-called slave slave? ”

Yes! It must be this, I should have thought of it a long time ago, when the seventh uncle suggested that he go to buy some slaves to come back to see the family, and also told himself some things about the slave slaves, I didn't care very much, I always thought that it was just some poor and helpless to sell their sons and daughters to sell themselves, but now it seems that it is far from so simple. Bai Fan was secretly annoyed in his heart.

Du Ruhui smiled bitterly, a slave song, a good slave song.

"Yes, you might think that putting a slave alongside these three elevates the status of a slave.

Hehe, in fact, this is not the case, this statement is very incisive, but inside it is secretly satirical, satirizing that these four identities are slaves.

The maid clearly refers to the maidservant maid, but how many maids and maidservants entered the house as a worker? How can a maid with the status of a worker make the master's family completely reassured? In fact, it refers to the maid and maid who were sold into slavery.

The workers are not the great craftsmen of your academy, but the private craftsmen who are kept in every family, and they are called slave laborers, even if most of these people are forced to sell themselves into slavery in disaster years.

And slave is a general term for slaves and servants.

Qu refers to the trilogy, alluding to the death of private soldiers and even retainers.

All four of these are labeled slaves, why? That is, no matter why these people have fallen here, now they no longer have personal freedom and all rights, and everything is firmly controlled by the master's family, which is essentially different from slaves? It's just that the aristocracy's means of enslaving them are now more hidden, or put on a veneer of humanity, hey......"

Speaking of this, Du Ruhui sighed, could it be that society is progressing and human nature is falling?

Li Er coughed lightly: "Keming, it's far away, talk about the origin of these people." ”

Du Ruhui raised his head and smiled slightly, he already realized that he was indeed far away, but so what? Since you want to say it, it's good to say it all at once.

And Bai Fan knew it, and secretly snorted coldly, if you say that the biggest nobleman and the biggest slave owner in the entire Tang Dynasty is probably this Tang Emperor, how many palace maids and eunuchs are there? Roughly calculated that there were 20,000, not to mention the serfs who were farming for the emperor outside.

Lao Du is really interesting, in order to solve his doubts, he dared to expose the emperor's scandal, this is Lao Du, and he will never worry about His Majesty's small book.

"You just said that the imperial court knows about this, why don't you interfere?

That's because eighty percent of their sources are the imperial court. ”

"How is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible, and it is completely in line with the law of the Tang Dynasty.

You must know that slaves are divided into official slaves and private slaves, and the sources of official slaves are battlefield prisoners, corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are traitors and traitors, and they will all be used as official slaves if they are caught.

Therefore, eighty percent of the slaves in Datang today are official slaves.

The hundreds of thousands of barbarians we got back from the grassland who worked in mines are not counted, those are the official slaves that the Tang Dynasty does not sell.

Normal official slaves can be bought and sold in the slave market, there are documents, protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, this official slave can not only be bought by nobles, but also some wealthy civilians can also buy some as nurses or servants, just look at your appearance, you must not have been to the slave market.

The name of Lantian Hou Renyi is all over the world, there is no maid and servant in the family, everyone knows it, even the eight hundred Wu Yingwei who protects the family, you also give them their own homes, and go to show you the door is the same as when we come to the court to work, if you say where do the people want to go to work the most?

I'm afraid that half of them will answer that they will go to the imperial court to be an official, and half of them will answer that they will go to Lantian Marquis Mansion on an errand, which shows how generous the treatment you give.

In addition to the above-mentioned official slaves, there are also private slaves, these are all catastrophes or troubled times to sell their sons and daughters, or sell themselves, there are also a small number of human traffickers abducted, in order to survive, can only be sold as slaves, not to mention freedom and human rights, from now on life and death are in the hands of the master.

This is slave!

I don't mean to despise what I say today, as the secretary of the Tang Dynasty, I feel sad for the slave class in the Tang Dynasty, don't say that now there are ten percent of people who are slaves, that is, there is a slave in the Tang Dynasty, I am ashamed.

In my eyes, they are all a group of Tang people struggling to survive, and the inability to save them from being reborn is the incompetence of me, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Back then, you sheltered all the women who sold themselves in the Qinglou in the world, such arrogance is admirable, Lao Du, I envy even more is your courage to stand up, I have thought in my heart, even if I have such great ability as you, I'm afraid I don't dare to stand up for the world's freeless enslaved people shouting a bold word, a certain Du Ruyan is incompetent! ”

Du Ruhui said that the emotions were indignant, the remorse on his face was overflowing, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes, Bai Fan looked and found that Lao Du's temperament seemed to be different at this time, and there was a strong righteousness of heaven and earth lingering all over his body, and the difference between the righteousness of Confucianism and Haoran was that the righteousness of Lao Du was more vast, or more inclusive, which was not only a change of mentality of compassion and compassion, but also a responsibility of the people of the world as the minister of a country.

Du Ruhui, with today's words, is worthy of the name of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!

"That's right, I'm not as good as Keming!

If you talk about responsibility, I am the Son of Heaven, these people are the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the first person who should be ashamed is not Keming you, but the emperor, the Son of Heaven, and the food and clothing of the people.

I also promised Jian Zhi that I would build a peerless Tang Dynasty where everyone has clothes, food, and education, but if there are no people on the road to prosperity, it will be my dereliction of duty.

Jane dared to stand up and be the talisman of the hard-working Qinglou woman, so I, the emperor, would come to be the talisman of the slave class of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The people present were all convinced by Du Ruhui's righteousness, and they all nodded and praised, but everyone still had different ideas inside, everyone was selfish, and there were completely selfless people? Yes, but how many can there be in a dynasty? Therefore, Li Er, Bai Fan and others praised the festival, and even determined to say that they wanted to change, but not many of Li Er's henchmen and civil and military forces came out to express their positions, and no one was willing to be the first bird.
