Chapter 175: Road Encounter
Stop-and-go, everyone came to the boundary of the Yanchang field in Luxian County.
In this era, in the north, there was no technology to dry salt, and salt farmers relied on boiling salt in iron pots, which was inefficient, not to mention, but also quite laborious and costly.
Now, after hundreds of years of salt deforestation, the coastal land has become a barren mountain and bald mountains, and salt farmers have to walk more than a dozen miles or even hundreds of miles to obtain firewood and grass, which can be described as extremely difficult.
In Lu Peng's mind, he began to think about teaching everyone the method of drying salt, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also can increase huge output. Output is profit wealth, with the world's most efficient salt farm, you can recruit more soldiers, equip better equipment, a strong, armed to the teeth in the future Three Kingdoms hegemony, will be twice the result with half the effort.
When everyone was walking, a man suddenly appeared on the opposite side, wearing only a thin linen coat in winter, barefoot, holding a little girl and running over in a panic, looking up to see Lu Peng and his party, he was stunned and stopped in horror.
At this moment, there were suddenly shouts from behind the man: "Catch him, don't let him run." With the shouting, a group of men dressed as servants came after them with sticks and ropes.
When the man saw it, he immediately put down the girl in his hand, tightly covered her behind him, clenched his fists, and looked at both sides vigilantly.
Zhao Yun, who was beside Lu Peng, saw Lu Peng's eagerness to try, so he said to Lu Peng: "It seems that he is a fugitive slave, but we can't take care of it." ”
In this era, the head of the household had full rights to dispose of his own slaves, and once a fugitive slave was taken in by someone else, according to the law, the person who took it in was guilty.
Lu Peng opened his mouth, and he helplessly suppressed his urge to make a move, and looked at the man.
Seeing that Lu Peng and his party had no intention of making a move, the man immediately turned around and faced the group of slaves who had rushed up.
The group of slaves rushed to the man, and a fierce and vicious fellow led by him scolded angrily: "Okay, you dog, you dare to run away, look where you are running at this time, obediently hand over your sister to us to buy it in the Savage Valley to pay off the debt, and you will also let us cut it with a thousand knives, and make an example of those salt households." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yun became angry, this is not a problem of fugitive slaves, this is a problem of forced robbery and trading, as long as there is a person with a righteous heart, it must be stopped.
Lu Peng lamented, because in this short conversation, he began to blame himself deeply, in order to solve the population structure problem of the base area of the Savage Valley, he began to buy women in various places, and as a result, the price of women in the surrounding market is rising, which is equivalent to a disguised red arousal of the desire of the wealthy family to buy and sell people to make money, although the women who bought their own base may live better than the outside, but how many people have been ruined? As the so-called eating bran throat vegetables, a family is safe, this is human ethics, this is not good, my own policies and methods have to be changed.
Just when Lu Peng was blaming himself here, the man roared at the leader: "Your Ding family is too pressing, I have to hand over two stones of good salt a month as a salt household, even if I use my life, I can't cook it, you have to use my sister to use it, my sister and I depend on each other, I will fight with you today and will not be separated from my sister, and I will definitely not let you sell my sister to Lu Peng's tiger and wolf den to suffer." ”
Lu Peng was embarrassed at that time, and his reputation was ruined like this, this happened twice, no, he had to give an order to abolish the order to buy women and women.
However, at this time, I also understood the reason, that is, the suffering of these salt households, and at the same time, I also knew that the salt farm at this time was not really controlled by the government, but by the Ding family, and the Ding family seemed to be absolutely impossible if they were not killed. Because he has seriously hindered his own development, in this world, whoever wants to hinder his own development must be eradicated, even if it is the king of heaven.
"Brother Peng, that little girl is so pitiful." Wan'er hugged Lu Peng's arm and commented sadly.
This is the holy decree in the holy decree, the words of the little lover are definitely an order that cannot be carried out in the world, so, whether it is due to the facts of the matter or something else, Lu Peng urged him to step forward, stood directly between the two opposites, and then said indifferently to the leader of the Ding family's slaves: "You are from the Ding family?" ”
When the leader of the house slaves saw this guy who was suddenly inserted in his middle, not only was he not afraid, but raised his face and roared: "Where did you come from, bastard boy, dare to get involved in the affairs of the Ding family?" Are you living impatiently? ”
This is arrogance, of course, people are from the Ding family, and they have the capital to be arrogant.
Lu Peng smiled indifferently: "What's wrong with the Ding family, I once threw that kid from the Ding family named Ding Mao into the county jail, what, aren't you convinced?" ”
When the leader of the house slaves heard this, he looked confused at that time, looked left and right in disbelief, and then looked at Lu Peng with pity and said, "You threw our young master into prison?" Are you really going to die ugly? In his opinion, if the thing is true, then this kid is really a birthday boy who eats arsenic all the time and is impatient.
Lu Peng said to Xu Jie very seriously: "County lord, you come out and give me a proof." ”
Xu Jie came out and said to the leader of the house slaves: "That's the way things are. ”
At that time, the Han Dynasty did not have a unified official uniform, everyone wore it casually, and there was no later complement distinction, and the only thing that distinguished the rank was the establishment of the ribbon system as a sign to distinguish official ranks.
Pei: jade ornaments on the body, ribbons: silk ribbons used to hang the seals.
This domestic slave leader has also seen the world, and glanced at the scarf on Xu Jie's waist to confirm that this is indeed a person at the level of a county order, but there is no trembling of the people at all, but he squinted his eyes and asked, "What county order are you the new here?" Do you really dare to put my son-in-law in prison? ”
Hearing such a rude question, and seeing this guy's contemptuous face, Xu Jie was furious at the time, he had just become a master, and he hadn't shown enough yet. As a result, I was bullied and despised by your master, and now I can even despise a minion, so shouldn't I, the master, be a nest? So he roared angrily at the time: "Good dog, you dare to despise this official so much? Come, take down this dog, and do it for disrespect. ”
All of Lu Peng's subordinates have a serious hatred for the rich, and everyone is from a yellow turban thief, so they can't look down on those wealthy families, so they are absolutely not soft on these evil slaves.
With Xu Jie's roar, a group of people who had already been transformed from Lu Peng's soldiers to Xu Jie's servants swarmed up, and went up directly with a big stick and kicks, and beat down and tied up this group of evil slaves at that time.
The slave leader was pressed to the ground with his face pressed to the ground, and he was still there shouting at Lu Peng and Xu Jie: "Good boy, you dare to tie up and beat me, and see how my master will kill you." ”
