The slave handover was very smooth, and there was no conflict between the two sides, perhaps because Ramado thought that Qin Dong was not easy to provoke, and he didn't want to provoke a strong enemy, so he didn't play any tricks in the process of handover, male slaves accounted for the majority of the five hundred slaves, about three hundred people, and the others were middle-aged women.

The Huns value women more seriously, women can give birth to and raise, as long as they give birth to children, they will settle down, and male slaves are generally difficult to raise, and may rebel at any time, so among the slaves given to Qin Dong, male slaves account for the majority, and female slaves are also middle-aged female slaves, who have given birth and raised many times.

Ramado was very jealous of Qin Dong's elite archers and heavy cavalry, and almost poured out when he took over the territory, and followed Qin Dong's men and horses until Qin Dong led his troops to retreat to the area west of Lake Bakata.

At noon, the procession was still more than thirty miles away from the Pazar camp, Qin Dong ordered the team to stop and set up camp, light a fire and cook, and then he gathered the five hundred slaves, and separated the men and women, the male slaves on the left and the female slaves on the right.

Started riding on the horse and looked at the slaves standing sparsely and shouted: "I know you don't want to, but there is no way, now you are my slaves, I have two choices for you here, first, choose to become a free people, become a free people under my rule, but you can't leave my rule to go somewhere else, catch it or die!" To be a freeman is to be a soldier for me, and to pay me taxes, and I will give you the land and the implements, but you have to pay for them, and I know that you have no money now, so you can pay a little every year, and pay it off within three years, and the rented fields will also belong to you after three years, and you will bear all the profits or losses. Second, you will be slaves forever, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you will not starve to death as long as you work diligently! Now choose to be a freedman with a raised hand! ”

At first, the slaves were misheard, but soon someone reacted and immediately raised their hands, and after someone took the lead, everyone else raised their hands.

Qin Dong looked at it, most of them raised their hands, and he said again: "If you choose to be a slave forever, please come to the front!" ”

It is not without those who choose to become slaves, but there are not many, there are only more than 30 people in total, and the life of slaves in these years is not necessarily worse than that of free people, some free people starve to death, while slaves eat and drink well all day long.

At this time, one of the people who chose the freedmen asked in a loud voice: "My lord, I want to be a freedman, but I can't do farm work, how can I have enough money to pay my taxes, and how can I support myself?" ”

Qin Dong nodded and smiled: "Okay, this question is a good question, I want to state one thing first, the person who is assigned the field cannot rent the field to others to plant, can only plant it himself, once it is found that someone rents the field and farm tools to others, then we will take back the field and farm tools, and will also punish this person, in addition to becoming a farmer, I have a lot of jobs to choose from here, such as a warrior, if you can ride a horse to fight, you can choose to become a knight, if you can't ride a horse, but you are very strong and fierce, you can become an infantry." If you don't know how to fight on horseback, and you don't have the ability to fight, you can choose other jobs, of course, you have to have this ability, for example, if you have carpentry skills, you can choose to become a carpenter and join my carpenter's workshop, if you are a blacksmith, you can join my blacksmith's workshop, if you are a silversmith, you can become my special silversmith, if you are a tailor, you can join my tailor's shop, of course, if you want to open your own shop and do business, I am also very supportive, I am not like other Huns who do not allow you to do business, I encourage commerce, encourage farming, you can do business in my territory, as long as you consciously pay taxes, I dare to guarantee that no one will trouble you, since you have paid taxes, you will naturally be protected by me.

If you are willing to work for me, I welcome it, I will pay you a satisfactory salary, generally people who have just worked will have a salary of ten dinars per month, the longer they work, the higher the salary, half a year is a probationary period, and as soon as half a year passes, the salary begins to rise.

After arriving at our camp, those who choose to become farmers will go to the officials who are responsible for dividing the fields to register, and the officials will give you the fields and farm tools, and the first year will be free of rent and tax, and in the second year, as long as you hand over fifty percent of the harvest, the third year will be forty percent, the fourth year will be thirty percent, and then every year after that, thirty percent will be handed over, and the other harvests will be at their own disposal, and they will never be added, and others shall not increase tax items under any pretext and name, if there is a natural or man-made disaster, I will reduce taxes as appropriate, and the reason why you have to harvest fifty percent and forty percent in the second and third years is the money you pay for yourselves, because you were slaves before, and after two years you are free people, and this is the treatment of peasants! ”

"We are willing to be farmers under your rule, my lord, as long as what you say counts, we are willing to follow you forever!" A lot of people started shouting loudly.

What a person is most afraid of is that there is no hope, and after having hope, it is naturally very cherished, these slaves live a dark life in Ramado, and they did not expect to encounter such a good thing after being sold here, and meet such a good Xiongnu official.

Someone else asked, "My lord, if I choose to become a warrior, I don't know how long it will take to earn enough money to redeem myself?" And how much is the monthly salary? ”

Qin Dong nodded and said: "Okay, let me talk about the treatment of soldiers, the salary of a recruit soldier is one gold coin per month, three months is the recruit period, after the recruit training period, it is one gold coin and ten silver coins per month, and those who choose to become a soldier only need half a year to redeem themselves, and then you are free people, and all the salaries you get belong to yourself, after regaining your freedom, you cannot leave the army without the permission of a superior officer, you cannot be a deserter, and you will be beheaded if you catch a deserter." Soldiers who are killed or disabled in battle will receive a pension for their families.

For the time being, freedmen are not allowed to leave my territory and go to someone else's territory, and if they are caught, they will be punished heavily, and they must have a clear permanent address to facilitate the collection of taxes! As for the specific regulations, you can ask the special officials when you get to the Pazar camp! I won't say much here, but one thing is that everyone must learn our script when they arrive at the camp, learn to speak in our language and communicate with others! This is a prerequisite, those who learn our language can get a certain tax exemption, and those who can't learn will be fined! ”

Qin Dong's language here is naturally Chinese, and if everyone under his rule learns to speak Chinese and uses culture to assimilate these people, these people will unconsciously abandon their original nation and join this new collective.
