Chapter XXXVII
Xu Yang was sitting under an awning at the moment, leisurely looking at the city managers in the distance who were exposed to the scorching sun.
Today, the north side of the stadium is almost complete, and almost one-fifth of the stadium has been renovated.
Xu Yang looked around, this large stadium that did not lose to future generations was built under his hands, full of pride.
Groups of slaves were working hard to build this great building, and from their enthusiastic expressions, it seemed that it was not a bad thing to be coolies, because a hundred more bricks were laid, and an extra piece of meat could be added to dinner, and the bricks were laid quickly and well, and they were chosen by the overseers, and they could also be promoted to captain of the slave team, and they could be freed after ten years of work.
This is simply a good thing that the slaves dream of, so without the urging of the overseers, the slaves also built the gymnasium with twelve points of enthusiasm.
Of course, the system and rewards of this slave team were also thought up by Xu Yang.
There is no other reason, it is because of an incident that Xu Yang encountered when he was overseeing the work that day.
On that day, a new batch of slaves arrived, and most of them were Turkic slaves, all of whom were escorted from distant borders, and were generally warriors captured from the battlefield.
When teaching these uncivilized Turkic strong men to lay bricks, these strong men showed considerable impatience, and some of them even stumbled, and the overseer beat the disobedient Turkic slaves with a whip, which also made the Turkic slaves hold a grudge.
Sure enough, when laying bricks, these Turkic slaves really made a mess, and the overseer was furious, picked up the whip and began to whip it.
I saw that although the big men were shackled on their hands and feet, they still rushed up and hit the supervisors, and suddenly knocked out a few meters away from the overseers, these overseers are all old members of the urban management team, and the selection is also a strong man, where can I endure this, pull out the waist knife, go up and stab, and stab two to death.
This also made Xu Yang deeply shocked.
The life of a person in the Tang Dynasty is not worth much, the life of a slave is even more worthless, people are not as good as horses, and these foreigners in the Tang Dynasty will not be regarded as adults, if you catch a foreigner in the wild, congratulations, it is no different from catching a wild boar, slaughter as you like.
Seeing the two big men lying in a pool of blood, the blood bloomed on the hot dry concrete floor like a lotus, which made Xu Yang dizzy for a while.
More than a dozen overseers next to him all ran over, and they all cheered a few times when they saw this scene.
In Datang, if a slave resists, he can be killed on the spot without any responsibility.
This also made Xu Yang accept the fact that he was in Datang from the bottom of his heart for the first time, this is not the afterlife, there are no human rights here, no subsistence allowance, no dignity, and some are just barbarism and rudeness and the law of the jungle 1,400 years ago.
The two Turkic men were still twitching slightly on the ground, the corners of their mouths were constantly spitting blood foaming outward, the overseers looked at the two corpses with disgust, and two overseers even went up and stepped on the big man's feet that fell in a pool of blood, and the two feet stepped on the wound, and the Turkic slave bowed like a shrimp, and after a while, his body soothed, and it seemed that he was dead.
The two corpses were dragged away, Xu Yang could hardly imagine, just a quarter of an hour ago, they were still standing in front of themselves to work for themselves, but in just a quarter of an hour, they disappeared into this world, which made Xu Yang, who had received the education of all people born equal in the future, have a deep sense of powerlessness, in the summer, in order to prevent epidemics, there is no need to hang the corpses to deter foreigners, Xu Yang secretly arranged for the two Turkic slaves to be buried.
After this incident, the slaves who built the entire stadium were much more honest and worked seriously, but Xu Yang carefully observed the eyes of those people, although their eyes were numb, but deep in their eyes, when they looked at those Han overseers, they were still burning with hatred.
Xu Yang knew that if this matter was not handled well, it would definitely be a hidden danger in the future.
The great Marxism tells us that everything has its main contradiction, and if the main contradiction of the incident is resolved, the whole incident will be easily resolved.
The main contradiction in the stadium now is the national contradiction of the slaves' hatred of the Han Chinese.
Man is a wonderful species, Xu Yang is convinced of this sentence, they can live poorly, but they can never be worse than others.
Jealousy is human nature.
This happened when Xu Yang appointed twenty slaves who were usually a little dishonest as slave captains, who not only had the privilege of resting, but also had a consistent monthly payment and two pieces of meat for dinner.
This caused an uproar among hundreds of slaves, why could these usually dishonest slaves be captains.
Xu Yang replied: "The table is excellent. ’
The reason for 'excellent appearance' is a bit illusory, just like the 'relevant departments' of later generations, which ordinary people cannot find.
At this time, the slave group instantly became a sensation, and the original twenty slave thorns who stirred up trouble all day long are now grateful to Xu Yang, and they swear allegiance to Lord Xu Yang one by one.
People are like this, they can share joys and sorrows, but not wealth and prosperity.
"Don't forget each other" in the uneducated peasant class, which eventually proved to be a big joke.
Now the entire slave circle has been fiercely jealous of these twenty lucky people, they were ostracized by the slave team, but they didn't care at all, they began to enjoy the joy of being a captain, and arbitrarily instructed other slaves to do this and that, causing everyone to complain, but they didn't care at all, the oppression they had been subjected to for many years broke out at this moment, and even made them have an almost ** desire to control, and the slave team was made into a miasma.
Xu Yang told the captains and fire chiefs of the Chengguan Brigade about this.
Chen Xiaosheng remembers that the main contradiction of the incident has now become: the contradiction between the slaves and the slave captain.
"How can this contradiction be resolved?" Li Hu, the captain of the first team, asked curiously.
Xu Yang immediately told everyone the answer with practical actions.
On Monday, after only a week as slave captains, the twenty slave captains were removed from their posts at the same time, and the reason for the dismissal was just as hilarious as the reason for their appointment: the table was not good.
At the same time, a new batch of slave captains were appointed, and this time the ones who were appointed were all very obedient in their usual manner.
The new captain has started to enjoy life again.
Jealousy, in the sprout.
The relationship between the slaves began to break down when one was appointed as the captain, and the slave team, which was originally like brothers, now turned against each other, and the slave team was divided into small groups, some stammered, some disdainful, some sought glory, some resented, and all sorts of infighting.
Xu Yang told everyone that these slaves would never make trouble again.
Sure enough, since there was a slave captain, the overseer, who was originally an enemy in the eyes of the slaves, has now become the object of the slaves' stammering, because Xu Yang told the slaves that the overseer would give each slave a score, and the higher the score, the more likely he was to be the slave captain.
At this moment, every overseer became a fragrant glutton, and he was almost offered, and the overseer said a word, and how many slaves rushed to do it.
This made many overseers secretly admire Xu Gongzi's way of controlling people, who used to be whipped and beaten hard, and his work efficiency was not half of what he is now.
"Captain Xu is really a genius in the world, such a way of mastering people, Li heard it for the first time today, and he suddenly felt enlightened." Li Hu, who has not spoken much, also sincerely admired.
"Remember, there are seven deadly sins: pride, jealousy, anger, sloth, covetousness, lust, and gluttony. They are the weakness of people's surnames, and in the future, you must be familiar with the way of people's hearts when you lead troops, and attack the city as the bottom, attack the heart as the top, and surrender the soldiers without a fight, and resist the enemy inside the enemy, which is the highest level. Xu Yang faced the distance and said earnestly.
"No!" All the cities are in the city.
