Chapter 279: Twenty Years of Slavery
Because these prisoners of war, whether they were barbarians or snowy mountain people, were accustomed to eating those tasteful things, and the innate fear of the unknown was a natural reflex of humans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Of course, the most important thing is, do you still have meat to eat after leaving? These prisoners of war are guarded every day, and they will be beaten and scolded when they can't do their jobs well, but despite this, these barbarians know that these people in front of them don't want to kill themselves, so whether it is safety or food, the other party is really a little inseparable from Yao Ran's camp.
There are countless large and small vehicles that have come this time. These vehicles are of course used to transport supplies, but it's not a wise move to go back and run empty. Therefore, the prisoners of war and slaves here in Daxue Mountain enjoyed the opportunity to visit the entire Yao clan's territory without using their feet.
Yao Ran persuaded for an hour, and the old man with the barbarian beside him followed Yao Ran to explain and comfort these barbarians. Finally, a few people who took the lead were in their sleepwear, and I believe that Yao Ran took them to a place where they didn't have to risk their lives and had the same food.
The reason why these barbarian slaves did not rise up to rebel or express their dissatisfaction with the people was because they had not tasted or been exposed to the treatment that Yao Ran provided to the Yao clansmen, because there was no harm if there was no comparison.
So the barbarian slaves, just enjoy a more comfortable way of living than their previous life, they are already very satisfied, this is Yao Ran's cleverness, let you feel what a good life is on my territory first. Certainly a better day than the one you had before.
After the next two or three years, when you get in touch with and understand more things about the Yao clan, such as food, comfortable houses, beautiful and comfortable clothes, and doctors will relieve your pain. There are also easy jobs for you to work on. When you know all these things, then your yearning and what the Yao clan tells you, you can become a member of the Yao clan like them in two years.
At this time, you are full of hope and expectation, so you work hard, be a man with your tail between your legs, and when you are smarter, you have to come back to the foreman to save the basic textbook. Because of the two years of language, they said that there was no problem, but the difference was in writing. So they worked hard because of a hope to become the same existence as the Yao clan.
But in fact, even if they succeeded, they came out of the concentration camps. Then the problem is that it is not easy to find a wife, although the house is not a concentration camp, but it is not a big house, but a four-story building that looks very imposing.
Everything costs money to buy, and if you are converted to a clan, the leader of the militia battalion will find you and register with you, assign you housing, and tell you where you can and can't go. Then you have to face the problem of eating. Because in the past, although you were not free in the concentration camps, you did not have to think about your three meals a day. And when you're free, you guess you find yourself having to do everything yourself.
Then the militia battalion captain, who is called the household registration officer or the policeman, will introduce you to at least one and up to three jobs, and the detailed treatment will be explained to you, and because you have no money, the household registration officer will persuade you to make a choice on the same day and go to work tomorrow, otherwise you will have no food for the next few months.
And in the end, it will threaten you that if you steal someone else's food or something, no matter how much evidence is conclusive, you will face a new round of labor reform.
After Yao Ran crossed the Great Snow Mountain, when he fought with the Northern Barbarians, he had a population of nearly 100 people, and the prisoners who were subdued in the later period were forced by Yao Ran to use his own privileges to force all prisoners of war to enslave for 20 years, and they were engaged in dangerous work, not to mention the barbarians, that is, primitive people, and there were not many people who lived so long.
A large number of prisoners of war slaves did not or waited until the day they were freed, and only a few survived. One of the lucky ones, who later took the name Magnolia, finally waited for that day, and when he was free, he was ecstatic, but in the face of the prosperous big city, he was at a loss, and faced with the house he was allotted, although it was not large, it was also a one-bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom. But at night he only dared to curl up in the corner of the bed by himself, knowing that he could only fall asleep unconsciously.
In the end, he wrote a book called "The Redemption of Magnolia Man", in which he wrote about himself, in the concentration camp, he learned to speak Mandarin again, read and write, in the concentration camp, everyone longed for freedom, in order to live to see the blue sky of the outside world, greedy every morning was the first to grab the newspaper that the team leader read. Look at the news of the outside world, and want to understand the world that I was once familiar with, and now I yearn for it.
It was this hope that sustained him and survived, in one of the most dangerous mining accidents, after being rescued from the hands of death. Or rather, it was his own hope and persistence that made him persist until the arrival of the rescuer.
But when his wish came true, Magnolia found himself at a loss, repeating the same work in the canning factory every day, facing the same group of people with serious expressions and indifference every day, and a deep sense of loneliness hit his old heart. Magnolia has no goal to live, and the thick diary is scribbled at the end, and it can even be said that Magnolia's despair is written madly.
From hope to despair, Houpu understood that this was a punishment for the crimes committed by Emperor Yao Ran and their group of Northern Barbarians. But in the face of such a punishment, a barbarian with hope lost the courage to live. In the end, he died in the bathtub of his home.
When his body was discovered, a police officer saw the notebook, which looked more like a suicide note, and the police sold it to a journalist. When the reporter saw this diary, she also left tears, and then a serialized "The Redemption of Magnolia Man" was concerned by the entire Flame Empire. The human rights movement has flareed up again. A large number of people, descendants of barbarians, took to the streets to demand that the government pay attention to the issue of prisoners of war and slavery and abolish slavery.
But it was the dawn of the Age of Discovery. Cheap labor is pitiful in the high-welfare salary empire, and the capitalists, who have long formed a big trust, how can they give up.
The protests continued for a long time, until another event diverted the attention of the people, and the abolition of slavery was not finally lifted, until many years later, a film about 20 years of slavery ignited public opinion again. The abolition of slavery was truly carried out.
And the person who caused this story, Yao Ran is also making preliminary preparations for his northward journey to the north of the Great Snow Mountain at this moment. (To be continued.) )
