Chapter 766: The Angry Ironback Taiji
The shepherd is subordinate to the Taifu Temple, and the official position of Zhengjiu is not big, but for a slave, it is a step to the sky. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn addition to this, the fishmeal workshop is also a piece of oily flatbread.
Within five years, the official and private people of the Ming Dynasty will raise a large number of horses, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be 100,000 good horses, how much fishmeal will be consumed? Thirty percent of the shares, the annual dividend alone is not less than 5,000 taels of silver,
Manu Asan really didn't think that he would become an official and make a fortune!
In fact, among the slaves, there are many people who have ascended to the sky, but these slaves have been appreciated by their masters, for example, Ma Fang once saved Meda, and was cited by Meda as a cronie. Ah San's brother is also favored by the master, wearing gorgeous clothes, eating delicious food, following the master's side, shouting and drinking, full of majesty.
It's just that that kind of majesty is not destined to last long, slaves are like pet dogs, when the master likes you, he will dress you up beautifully and hold it in the palm of his hand, for fear of being wronged. But when the master doesn't like it, he kicks it away, falls from heaven to hell, and becomes a poor leper dog.
Ah San has seen with his own eyes that the once beautiful slaves cut their wrists with daggers and hung themselves from trees with ropes after they fell down, or jumped into the abyss and rivers......
Ah San doesn't envy that kind of scenery, his greatest wish is to live and marry an ugly slave woman, that's right! Even if the beautiful belongs to him temporarily, it will be snatched away, and it is better to be ugly and safe. Continuing his bloodline, although he will become a slave when he gives birth to a son, and he will suffer as much as himself, Ah San is still full of impulse.
It's just that what happened today seems to have changed everything...... "You know how to raise horses, you are a talent, although Daming also has slavery, but it is for criminals." Meritocracy, the imperial court wants to reform the horse policy, the most need for horse talents, there will be someone to help you abolish the slave registration, re-settle, the ministry will also issue the pastoral supervisor and the big seal, and someone to help you prepare for the workshop, from now on, you are the official of the Ming Dynasty, hold up your chest, you are no longer a slave. Tang Yi sighed and said: "Ma Zheng is related to the rise and fall of the country, it is very important, but a nine-rank official is too small, but who made only a few dozen horse slaves, and when there will be more people and more horses in the future, you will be promoted." ”
Tang Yi said a few words casually, turned around and walked outside, Manu Asan's eyes turned back and forth, and suddenly ran forward a few steps, knelt on the ground, and shouted excitedly: "My lord, slave ......"
He wanted to call himself a slave, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong, and the words were blocked in his throat and could not be spit out, so that his face turned purple and his forehead sweated.
"Hehe, this official is a second-grade Shangshu, you are right to kneel and salute, call yourself a humble position, or you can go down to the official."
"Yes, yes, down, there's something!"
Ah San stumbled and said, when the word "official" came out, he suddenly felt a bang in his body, and the chains that had bound him for several generations suddenly shattered, fluttering, as if he had reached the clouds, so restrained.
For the first time, he was able to straighten his chest and speak with confidence.
"Your Excellency, you, you said you needed a lot of manu, didn't you?"
"It's not a manu, it's a talent who breeds horses." Tang Yi corrected: "Slaves are done by barbarians, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they do not break the law, anyone is free, as long as they have a skill, as long as they are willing to work with their hands, they will have a happy life." ”
Obviously, Tang Yi's words are a bit hypocritical, but compared to the cruelty of the grassland, the darkness of the Ming Dynasty is nothing at all.
Manu Asan was completely excited, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he asked loudly: "My lord, Manu - uh no, is it the same person as Xia and Xiaguan, and when he arrives in Daming, will he be like Xia Guan?" ”
Ah San's vocabulary is not rich, but fortunately, Tang Yi's comprehension ability is super strong, and he said with a smile: "Not everyone can be a Jiupin official, you are good at raising horses, and you can also make fishmeal, and now Daming lacks talents, as for others, it depends on the ability, but the official can guarantee that anyone who has more than three years of experience in raising horses, or is good at horse training and riding, as long as he arrives in Daming, he can get a hundred acres of land, a house, and a silver collar every month." Also, if you can bring in more people, the official will also give you a reward, one or two silver for one person, and three hundred people will be promoted to the next level, and the official will do what he says! ”
……
Tang Yi left for a long time, and Ah San sat on the cold ground, motionless, stupid, as if he had just had a dream.
Not really, definitely not really!
Ah San pinched his thigh hard, the cold and numb thigh was unconscious, it didn't hurt, it was really a dream. He shook his head vigorously and was about to go back to the stables to sleep, when two small officials ran in with the title deed and the house deed, and shouted: "Lord Shepherd, this is your house, and there are a hundred acres of land, please take a look!" ”
Glancing at the bright red seal, Ah San suddenly trembled, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes......
"My lord, I don't understand, that Ah San fed the war horse Croton, and you are still so good to him? Even if you want to subdue him, you don't need to elevate him like this, and give him a nine-grade official! Qi Jimei left the courtyard, she was finally able to speak, and all the anger she had accumulated in her stomach was released.
"Alas, you, your vision is far worse than Brother Ling." Tang Yi shook his head, "You always know the example of a daughter buying a horse bone, right?" ”
"Well, but it's a horse bone, and you bought a manu!" Qi Jimei was still at a loss.
Tang Yi shook his head, and said in his heart that this guy is really innocent enough.
The biggest failure of the slavery system is that everything belongs to the king, and the treatment will decrease with the rank, and the slaves on the grassland do not even belong to them with their lives, and they are like cattle and sheep, just talking animals.
Every war was accompanied by a large number of slave transfers, from one master to another. The slaves didn't feel it at all, because no matter what the master was, he wouldn't pretend to them, and their fate seemed to have been predestined by the Immortal Heaven.
It's boring to talk about loyalty with slaves.
They have nothing, they don't have any bonds, and they have tasted all their suffering, and they owe nothing to anyone, and they don't feel guilty.
For such people, maybe they can do what Qi Jimei said, with a knife in one hand and silver in the other, and they don't even need to be tortured, they will surrender and identify the culprit who instigated the poisoning.
It's just that Tang Yi feels that this is not enough, he feels that he can make a bigger article.
After all, human beings are different from livestock, even slaves. They had nothing, and Tang Yi gave them official positions, land, and houses, and even dignity and respect.
In the past, slaves could only sell their dignity in exchange for the favor of their masters, similar to eunuchs, and only by accepting a humiliating knife could they have the opportunity to enter the court.
Although some people will be forced to do so, most people are still unwilling to accept it, which is why the reputation of eunuchs is so stinky!
Tang Yi felt that in order to truly subdue the hearts of slaves, coercion and temptation were not the best way, the key was to let them regain their sense of being a human being.
They were talented, and by virtue of their talents they could be officials, they could make money, they could own land and beautiful houses, and it was an equivalent exchange, not only for Ah San, but also for every slave.
"How many people are there on the steppe? I Da claims to have 200,000 people who control the strings, and the limit of the Mongols is one out of three, which means that the sum of the men above the age of twelve or thirteen in his hands will not exceed 600,000, and with the addition of women and children, the number of people under my command is only 1.5 million at most. In fact, far less than this number, how many slaves would be among them? 100,000, 200,000, or 300,000? ”
Tang Yi chuckled and said: "Manu Asan is an example, snatch the slaves from the hands of the Otta, every time one more slave comes to us, the Taka must reduce the number of young men who fight, if there are no slaves, I estimate that the number of people that I can mobilize will be reduced by half." And without the support of slaves, the children of the steppe will freeze to death and starve to death, and the war horses will become scarce because there is no one to feed them. As the so-called soldiers who surrender without a fight, starting from slaves, within three years, at least 30% of our combat strength will be cut off. General Qi Er, what do you think? ”
Qi Jimei figured out Tang Yi's intentions as if listening to a book from heaven, and he only had one thought left: he would rather offend Lord Yama than offend Lord Tang!
In the warmth of the veins, under the gentle wind and drizzle, what is hidden is all fierce killing moves, unconsciously, you will die without a place to be buried, and you will be targeted by Tang Yi, I answer, you ask for more blessings!
Qi Jimei was completely frightened, the whole person was in a trance, turned the sky, the sun was three poles, he got up, and before he could wash, his own soldiers ran in.
"General Qiyu, that Manu Asan is here, and there are many people with him."
"What Ah San?" Qi Jimei suddenly thought of Tang Yi's plan, and jumped up suddenly, "It's the pastoral supervisor, Ah Sanren, do you know?" ”
"Yes, got it." The soldier didn't know what Qi Jimei was smoking, and said in a low voice: "Ah Sanren is outside, do you want to go out and have a look?" ”
"Go, why don't you go!"
Qi Jimei strode into the sky, and when she arrived outside the barracks, she looked up and saw that there were more than 200 people in the dark.
Ah San stood excitedly in front of Qi Jimei, his chest was held high, and he was very proud.
"Who are they?" Qi Jimei asked suspiciously.
"They used to be manu." The implication is that it will soon be not.
Ah San pointed to the person on his left, "They are the Manu of the Iron Back Taiji, there are more than 100 miles. Over there is the Manu of Umur Taiji, more than eighty people. Ah San raised his head, bared his yellow teeth, and said proudly: "If there are another hundred people, I will be promoted!" ”
Qi Jimei was also stunned, obediently, Tang Yi's method worked too fast, right?
Not far from the barracks, there was the camp of the Mongols, with iron backs, ebony, and faces like the bottom of a pot, black and terrifying. Dai Qing, who had lost all his horses, relied on his courage and said in a low voice: "The wrestling and archery competitions have begun, are you still going?" ”
"Go, why don't you go!" Tiebei Taiji gritted his teeth, "I was about to settle accounts with the people of the Ming Dynasty!" He glanced at Dai Qing and said angrily: "You go and feed the horses to Bentaiji, if you are hungry to the war horses, hehe, let you look good!" (To be continued.) )
