To talk about the current situation, we must first talk about an unavoidable topic in the feudal era, that is, domestic slaves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Unlike tenants, domestic slaves were proletarians who made a living by farming and paying rent for the landlord, who was the equivalent of livestock, the private property of the landlord.

The domestic slaves of the Han Dynasty did not even have a household registration, only one slave registration to prove their existence. Under the name of the powerful lord of the Han Dynasty, there were thousands of domestic slaves for them to drive. In the local area, the big families and even the rich families have a large number of slaves.

To give specific examples is very simple, and Mi Zhu is the best example. Their family started as a grain merchant and became an important family in Xuzhou, and he himself was even recruited by Tao Qian to do something else.

When he took refuge in Liu Bei, the money he supported was not described, and there were still 2,000 people in it to supplement Liu Bei's army. Considering that the Mi family also needs to employ people, I am afraid that there are thousands of people in the Mi family! The question arises, if you are a free person, why should Mi Zhu be in charge? The conclusion is simple, their freedom is not up to them, they are nothing more than domestic slaves!

The Han Dynasty has a nominal population of 50 million, but in fact there are at least hundreds of millions of people, but these tens of millions of people are not in the people's register, but in the slave family.

As a domestic slave, not only is he not free, but also his children and grandchildren. The children and grandchildren of domestic slaves are called domestic slaves, and unless they are appreciated by the head of the family and removed from slavery, then the children and grandchildren are domestic slaves. Domestic slaves are also not allowed to go out of office, and they are not allowed to show filial piety, in other words, there is no way to change their fate......

If you kill the people, then those who deserve to be imprisoned according to the law will be imprisoned, and those who should pay for their lives will be compensated. But to kill one's own house slaves, you only need to report to the government, just like a dead cow in the family, you don't even need to bury it, and the mass grave is almost thrown away.

Compared with tenants, domestic slaves are obviously more comfortable to use, and "Han Law" is the biggest accomplice of the houseowner to bind domestic slaves.

It is true that the use of domestic slaves for farming, combined with laziness to invest and improve farm tools, can lead to inefficient production. But for the rich or the family, this is not a problem. For them, the land output is less, so it is good to buy more land.

So there was the emergence of annexed land, and the Han was very wide and did not worry at all about not having land to buy.

Over time, more than seventy percent of the land in the world is concentrated in the hands of this part of the people. There were some kulaks, middle peasants, and poor peasants, or some small merchants, who were struggling to manage the remaining thirty percent of the land. Fortunately, in these years, scholars were not exempt from land rent like the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the collection of agricultural taxes would be a problem.

The question is, the expansion has reached a certain level, how can the nobles and families who have no way to expand further continue to expand?

According to Zhu Jun's investigation results, behind the famine in recent years, the family has also played a disgraceful role. It's a pity that this is just something that can be seen, if this investigation report is put on the surface, Zhu Jun will 'die violently' tomorrow. As for this investigation report, it will not really be seen by Emperor Han, after all, what is involved in it is the fundamental interests of the family.

Unfortunately, all the princes in the Manchu court came from families, and when they submitted this report to the ugly place, Zhu Jun directly became an enemy of the entire scholar class. Not to mention that he himself has reached this point, in fact, he is also a member of the scholars, and he is a class with vested interests. What is very helpless is that according to the memory of his predecessor, Zhu Cheng and his family have actually done such a thing!

It is very disgraceful to say, and it is very simple to operate: on the one hand, monopolize grain, raise the price of grain, and on the other hand, slow down the progress of disaster relief. In this way, a large number of poor and middle peasants, and even merchants, went bankrupt and became homeless.

Their land will be bought at a low price, those who have the money to buy it will keep the price of the land to the minimum, and those who want to buy land will not have the money to buy it. In the end, these three percent of the land will also fall into the hands of the wealthy families with disasters again and again. It doesn't matter if a large number of displaced people are generated, one is that this is something that the imperial court needs to take care of and has nothing to do with them, and the other is just taking the opportunity to recruit domestic slaves!

In times of great calamity, it is not uncommon to sell children and daughters, and if you want to make domestic slaves loyal, it is best to start with this kind of child, and then 'cultivate' and 'educate' from an early age. There are even other uses for young women, which I won't go into specifics.

The world is not as simple as talking. The expansion of these families did not care what would become of the country, and the disaster was at least three times worse under their operation, and a large number of people were displaced from their homes.

At the same time, there is no grain in the regular liquidation used to adjust grain prices, and there must be one on the books, but in reality it can starve rats to death. Even if there is, it is stale grain, and the kind of things that could only be fed to livestock are now expensive to death.

Is there really no food for the people? Yes! But it's all concentrated in the Chamber of Commerce warehouse controlled by the Saga, and the problem is that others won't sell it! They won't lower prices until the disaster reaches a certain level, or until the money they make reaches a critical point. To put it mildly, if they can wait until next year's autumn harvest to reduce the price, they will wait until that time to reduce the price without hesitation!

In areas that have not been affected by the disaster, some grain merchants have begun to transport grain to the affected areas for sale, and most of this grain comes from Xuzhou, Jingzhou and Jiangnan regions. As long as this batch of grain arrives one after another, then Sidi's grain merchants can only have to sell grain gradually.

At that time, the operation of this disaster can be regarded as a temporary end...... This year......

The problem Zhu Jun is facing now is how to properly handle the food and resettlement of the displaced people in the past two months or so, and even face the riots that are very likely to occur, such as the situation in Bishui Town.

It's just that Zhu Jun begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother to mobilize food, this is already the limit, and in five days, the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the Tiger Prison Pass will have no food at all. But it is impossible to mobilize food during this time.

According to Zhu Cheng's understanding, Zhu Jun has even contributed a sum of money to buy grain in Jizhou and other places. Considering the problem of the journey, I will be able to come back in about three days. But he was not a corrupt official himself, so his salary was limited, and the food he could buy was very limited. Even if he comes back, it's just a drop in the bucket......

No wonder it is said that this is a thankless job, not to mention that he will not cooperate with him in disaster relief at all, and it is already considered merciless to not hold back. Not to mention that he has done a good job in disaster relief, then it is equivalent to offending those families who control grain merchants and plan to take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate slaves and annex land, so he will offend people by doing good and bad.

Zhu Jun privately told Zhu Cheng that he also had the idea of fighting for military rations, but this is a taboo, and once he gets involved, it is very likely that he will be doomed. If the soldiers do not have enough to eat, they will make trouble, and if there are any more instigations, they may bomb the camp.

When the time comes, one accidentally opens the Tiger Prison, puts these hundreds of thousands of refugees in, and drives straight towards Luoyang, and even if Zhu Jun does not die in the chaos, he will have to end up with the three tribes.

After learning the whole story, Zhu Cheng couldn't help but gasp, he didn't expect this task to be so dangerous. The point is that there is no benefit at all, and there is a risk of offending people.

No wonder others are unwilling, and in the end, Zhu Jun, the doctor, will consult on the next disaster relief work.

The question is, how is this game going to be broken now?!
