Chapter 203: Street Scuffle

The woman in red saw that the other party's brigade came to help, and her own side rashly made a move and did not take advantage of it, and she was beating a little drum in her heart, if the family of three was really a slave of someone else and ran away without permission, it was indeed justified for the master's family to arrest and punish the fugitive slave.

Slavery is a huge social problem in China for a long time, and the entire historical life cycle of the feudal dynasty has never been completely cured, but there are differences in severity. After the Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei period implemented the tuntian system, which is equivalent to the system of semi-serfdom, the tuntian people have no personal freedom, can not leave the tuntian, governed by the tuntian officials, the initial payment of half of the harvest, in the end of the Cao Wei period, even some pay eighty, seventy percent of the harvest, although these tuntian people are higher than the status of slaves, but compared to the free people are more oppressed, there is no land of their own.

In the early days of Sima Zhao's reign, the Tuntian system was abolished, and the Tuntian people were liberated, so that they became free people, which was the beginning of the abolition of slavery in the Jin Dynasty.

In the early days of the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, although the military tun implemented by Sima Yi was retained, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, also began to further reduce the burden on the military and civilians. Work began on the abolition of slavery. At that time, the slaves and maids managed by Xi Guan, the state's slave and maid management agency, first became the object of emancipation, and the use of slaves and maids was the remnant of slavery retained by feudal society, and the slaves and maids did not have any personal freedom, and the fruits of their labor were completely possessed by the masters, and even the right to life was manipulated in the hands of the masters.

In December of the first year of Xianning, Emperor Wu of Jin issued an edict: "Although it has been common since ancient times, the power of things has not stopped, and I have not thought of soldiers." Today, the officials and slaves of the Xi Dynasty are in charge of the new city, and the soldiers of the field are planted with rice, and the slaves and maids are each fifty people for a tun, and the Sima is placed in the tun, so that they are all like the Tuntian law. "There is no personal freedom of the slave and maid, in accordance with the method of the tuntian system, organized production, transformed into part of the personal freedom, can be like the military soldiers, access to part of the fruits of labor, this abolition of slavery policy is also the liberation of the productive forces, in the feudal society the royal is the largest number of slaves and maids, the Jin Dynasty nobles possess more slaves and maids are only 800 people, although Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty did not abolish the slave system, but he began to liberate the slaves and maids, as an example of the huge impact on the society. The number of liberated slaves and maids is unknown, but Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty allowed slaves and maids to engage in agricultural production instead of soldiers, and the Jin Dynasty estimated that there were hundreds of thousands of troops at that time, and the number of liberated slaves and maids was estimated to be more than 100,000. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty also issued an edict to limit the number of servile tenants used by the nobles, to prevent the peasants from becoming slaves and maids, and to prevent the powerful from expanding their power. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty also in order to prevent land annexation, the amount of land in Haoqiang was limited, and the land occupation system and the class land system were formulated to enhance the land holdings of ordinary peasants. The system of occupying and limiting land in the Jin Dynasty was the beginning of the system of equalizing land that began to be implemented in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Compared with the equalization system, the system of land occupation and land restriction is more complete and reasonable.
