There was no so-called "slave society" in China, but slavery existed for a long time, such as the Yin and Zhou dynasties, the Spring and Autumn period, and even the Qin, which is called the "first feudal dynasty" in textbooks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The so-called "Shang Dynasty Reform Law to abolish slavery" has long been proved to be a historical error by a large number of archaeological materials, and the real situation is that "Qin is a city of slaves and maids without a way, and it is in the same column as cattle and horses". Not only did the Shang monarch not abolish slavery, but also set up many clauses that confiscate prisoners of war and civilians as slaves, and Qin's prisoners, soaps, and concubines were as far away as the Six Kingdoms, and even as far as the Shang and Zhou dynasties

Zhao Wuxian was also shocked and couldn't believe it when he knew this fact, but now he understands that the more serious the social division, the more wars and chaos, the more difficult it is to get rid of this bad habit.

Marx's theory that one of the main reasons for the emergence of slaves is because of poverty, which is reasonable, after the Spring and Autumn Period, with the disintegration of the well-field system in various countries, the social gap between the rich and the poor intensified, so the poor became slaves due to bankruptcy, and the rich used a large number of slaves to engage in material production. The descendants of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, such as Luan, He, Xu, Yuan, Hu, Xu, Qing, and Bo, will still descend to the soap, let alone the ordinary people.

Soap Li, concubines, are all people who are pressed at the bottom of the class pyramid, and their lives are very miserable. Zhao Wuxian can't forget that his concubine Bo Mi became a subordinate concubine when he was young, and he can't forget the filthy and atrocities he saw when he first entered Xinjiang City: those cramped prisons, those subordinate concubines who were imprisoned in cages, or wore wooden shackles, or were tied together by straw ropes, all withered and unkempt, and the only little slave with bright eyes stretched out a dirty hand to him, as if begging for salvation

At that time, he was naïve, he secretly clenched his fists and said that he would bury the slavery system as if it were abolished. However, it was not until he was really in charge of a country that the productive forces and production relations were not transferred by personal will, and even if Zhao Wuxian could greatly promote its progress, he could not succeed if he wanted quantitative changes to lead to qualitative changes.

Zhao Wuxian understood one thing in the practice of governing the Lu State, in the current late Spring and Autumn period when productivity was low, it was impossible for everyone to be happy and the world was in harmony. In addition to relying on science and technology, the most convenient way to achieve immediate policy results is to rely on the brutal exploitation of a group of people, so that another part of society can get the benefits of tax cuts and labor reductions

Ancient and modern China and foreign countries, this method has been tried and tested, Zong Zhou relied on the oppression of the Yin people and the indigenous people of various countries to let the Zhou nobles live a life of Zhong Ming Ding food, so there are Dongfang Yin people complained: "The son of the Dongren does not come to work." Son of the Westerners, Clothes of the Basket"

In addition, there are also the military nobles of the Qin State who exploited the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and enriched the Qin land; The Yuan Dynasty exploited the Han people and the southerners and fattened the Mongols and Semu; The Qing court exploited the Han people and fattened the banner people; Modern capitalists exploited black slaves to run plantations for whites; Germany expropriates the Jews of their wealth and transfers war contradictions; Under the leadership of the party, the broad masses of the people were interested in landlords and rich peasants

This is also the truth that Zhao Wuxian wants to expound with that building block, the history of mankind is the process of oppression and counter-exploitation between different classes, the continuous flow and solidification of class members, and there is no pure "slave society feudal society" at all, and more commonly a variety of systems are mixed and coexist.

Now, with the slow growth of total social wealth, Zhao Wuxian has to use the soap to bear the economic pressure brought about by his extensive "benevolent government".

In the past, the economic relations in the Jin and Lu countries were "public food tribute, doctor food yi, scholar food field, Shu people's food power, industrial and commercial food officials, soap and subordinate food posts". And now the situation of the Zhao family is different

The current Zhao clan is a strange ensemble, and it is still a feudal state in name, but the young and weak Marquis of Jin is only in name, and Zhao Wuxian is the biggest feudal lord. But under the Zhao family, everything was disrupted, administratively it was a county system, although it was not perfect enough in the selection of officials, but it was only a matter of time before the hereditary Qing doctor was completely replaced by the bureaucrats who received the salary. Therefore, the "doctor's food estate" basically does not exist, and Zhao Wuxian can directly collect taxes from the county.

The main sources of local taxation in counties and counties are naturally scholars, commoners, and industry and commerce. On the one hand, Zhao Wuxian encouraged military merit and the division of large clans, creating many small peasant families and increasing the number of tax households. He also relaxed restrictions on industry and commerce, and in Yecheng, Chaoge and other cities, handicrafts and commerce flourished, driving economic prosperity, and agricultural and industrial and commercial taxes were the bulk of fiscal revenues.

After that, however, there are dark corners where the sun doesn't shine.

In the face of reality, Zhao Wuxian compromised, Zhao's current policy is very similar to the Qin Dynasty in later generations, and the huge soap group is an important means for Zhao to maintain economic prosperity, because they are different from the ten taxes and one and fifteen taxes and one Shinong industry and commerce, and the value created is completely deprived and returned to the public. Therefore, it is very profitable to use official slaves to carry out large-scale engineering construction, or to engage in heavy manual work such as mining and salt mining.

However, what is different from the past and the future is that the Zhao family implements the system of granting land for military merits, the land is owned by the Zhao family, and the land is only granted the right to use, and the land cannot be bought and sold without reason.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian largely curbed the trend of poor people selling themselves into slavery in Jin and Lu, and their slave sources were relatively simple, mainly prisoners of war.

The first slaves exploited by the Zhao clan were the Qi people and Wei people captured in the east in the early years, and if they hadn't taken on a lot of labor, the life of the people of Lu might not be as nourishing as it is now. The second group is a large number of Qi, Fan, Zhongxing, and Zhishi soldiers who surrendered in the Battle of Liuqing, without them, the main artery connecting Jinlu and Lu would not have been able to be dug up, and Yecheng would not have been able to complete the construction so quickly.

The exploitation of slaves was an important means of reducing the burden on ordinary peasants and businessmen. However, the status of slaves is not static, and Zhao's soap subordinates are generally three to ten years, and if they have merit and outstanding contributions, they can also regain their freedom in advance, so it may be more appropriate to call them "prisoners". Now Hugh said that the earliest batch, even the prisoners of war who were reduced to slavery after the Battle of Liuqing, if they had not died of exhaustion, would have already left their affiliation, or joined the Zhao army, or resumed their status as commoners.

Therefore, the current Zhao family actually needs a lot of soap: for the government, the roads, canals, and dikes in various counties need to be maintained, the destroyed cities need to be repaired, and more canals need to be dug; Personally, the soldiers who have achieved military exploits in this great war are looking forward to being assigned some soap subordinates, taking them with their families, and working in the fields when they go out to serve

Therefore, after having tens of thousands of prisoners of war at once, Zhao Wuxian was like a huge rich man sitting on a mountain of gold and silver, and his generals and ministers were also greedy.

Without further ado, on the third day after the war, Zhao Wuxian issued a disposition of the prisoners of war

On May 2, the Fenglingdu battlefield was almost counted, and the soldiers of the Zhao army were transported in sacks after identifying their identities, and they would find a feng shui treasure nearby to bury them in a unified manner, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers were cremated on the spot and buried on the spot as a handful of dust, which was also to prevent the corpses from breeding too many diseases.

These jobs were basically done by the captives, digging pits and filling in the soil, exhausting their physical strength, and they could only eat one bowl of gruel a day, and the soldiers were scattered and could not form gangs. But everyone was very worried, and unrest spread among the crowd, after all, the reputation of the Luoshui Massacre was too bad, and the Zhao family would not be able to wash off this stain for a while.

It wasn't until Zhao Wuxian's official order was issued that the prisoners and the various units responsible for guarding the prisoners breathed a sigh of relief, "The Zhao clan has a law, saying: Kou surrenders, thinking that he is a subordinate"

Not surprisingly, these tens of thousands of prisoners of war will lose their personal freedom, but although they are all slaves, there is a detailed distinction.

If the Wei soldiers from Hedong were willing to join the Zhao army as a dead soldier and act as a gully filler when the army was trapped, they could be released on the spot, and if they made military achievements, they could also be promoted, and those who did not want to serve as a prisoner for three years.

The soldiers of the Qin and Zheng people were a little more miserable, they were also prisoners, but the service period ranged from five to ten years

This was due to the fact that the Zhao clan could immediately rule over Hedong, and as long as the Wei soldiers left their old masters behind, they would be the Shunmin of the Zhao clan. And Qin and Zheng will not be able to be included in the rule for a while, rather than letting them return to the country, it is better to be a slave to help the Jin State make up for the wounds caused by the war" The counties will definitely fight for the use of these prisoners. When talking with Xiang Lu, Zhao Wuxian had already foreseen that the county guards were fighting for each other, and so many strong prisoners were completely enough for a county to complete a big project, which would be the icing on the cake for the county guard's political achievements.

However, Zhao Wuxian planned to veto the beggings of the county guards, and now that the Zhao clan's territory has expanded again, Hedong has fallen into his hands, and Hexi can also be seized at any time. Therefore, the most important thing is to build a road connecting the east and west of Taihang Mountain! Except for some convicts who will be rewarded with outstanding military achievements, they all have to be pulled to Taihang to build roads and bridges.

For some prisoners of war, this result was cruel, meaning that they would lose their personal freedom for a long time to come, and they would be separated from their parents, wives and children, creating value for the Zhao family at the lowest cost, and perhaps dying of rocks, landslides, or freezing and starvation if they were not careful.

For others, however, the absence of massacres after the war was a blessing in disguise, and prison sentences ranging from three to ten years gave them hope of regaining their freedom. Moreover, the law of the Zhao family is relatively perfect in this regard, even if it is a soap subordinate at the bottom of the society, it also has a legal status, for example, even if the owner of the slave wants to punish and kill his slave, he must also report to the township and the pavilion for approval and execution; Otherwise, the owner will constitute the crimes of "unauthorized killing" and "unauthorized punishment" and will bear corresponding criminal responsibility.

So even if it's hard, there is hope, they are so hopeful, they originally planned to fight if they were to be slaughtered, but now their fists are loosened.

While the ministers were busy subdividing the prisoners of war, Zhao Wuxian held a feast at the Fengling Ferry, waiting for Han Hu, the only remaining secretary of the Jin State besides him. )
