The next day, those who wore Hanfu and spoke the language of the Xia Kingdom, and in the company of the witches, they respectfully came to the Yongle Hall to say goodbye.

"How comfortable it looks. After seeing the uniformity of clothes, Ji Le showed a satisfied smile, he pointed with his hand, and the red clouds burst out from his fingertips, submerging into the bodies of many great spirits present.

These great spirits have not been replenished by faith for many years, and now they have been blessed with the purest gift of faith from Ji Le, and the brilliance on their bodies has shone again.

"From now on, I will come to Yongle Hall every day to say goodbye. Ji Le said casually: "Among them, the most obedient and the most satisfying to me, in addition to the replenishment of divine power, I can improve the corresponding treatment of the clansmen." ”

When the earthlings heard this, they all showed shocked expressions.

They were all defeated, and their people and clansmen were captured and reduced to slavery by the Xia State. But they have not forgotten their people, who have also endured for many years, constantly calling out their own gods.

A great spirit trembled and asked, "Your Highness...... You...... Will you release my people?"

"Release?" Ji Le hid the coldness from the corner of his mouth and showed a bright smile: "No, no, no, even if you let them go now." How are they going to survive? There are so many dangers around, so many fierce beasts and evil spirits, how can a mere group of mortals fight against them?"

"Therefore, I will elevate their treatment. As their status level increases, they can be regarded as official citizens of the Xia Kingdom. At the same time, you will automatically become the gods of the Xia Kingdom. ”

It is not advisable to blindly suppress, and it is even less advisable to blindly confront.

Ji Le deeply understands that in this world, only by taking out the corresponding interests and building his own community of destiny can the small boat of Xia Guo survive one storm after another.

This is true for co-opting gods, and it is also true for absorbing great spirits and slaves. Zhuxia is a civilization where many ethnic groups coexist, and Ji Le doesn't care about the so-called slave origin. As long as the other party is willing to sinicize, then everything can be discussed.

Tempting the Great Spirits to automatically transform into the gods of the Xia Kingdom not only enhances the high-end power of the Xia Kingdom, but also allows the Xia Kingdom to have an additional group of formal citizens and increase the country's faith. They can also set an example for other slaves.

The great spirits of the earth listened to Ji Le's speech, and heard the unrealistic verbal benefits promised by Ji Le, and their hearts couldn't help but sway.

The promised benefits are indeed very good, but it is a bit ...... to give up our self-esteem, give up our country, and throw ourselves into the arms of the Xia country

Suddenly, a strong spirit with a tiger's back knelt down: "I, the Ayang tribe, am willing to surrender to Great Xia, and I only ask Your Highness to treat me well" He said something in his mouth, stretched out his hand and cut into his heart, dug out his heart alive, and respectfully raised it above his head.

Yu Yuan's eyes moved, and she explained in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is the highest etiquette of the Ayang tribe. Paying your heart as a tribute means that you control the vital points of this great spirit, and you can easily kill them. ”

What was the most common sacrifice in the Age of the Barbarians?

Blood Sacrifice!

Sacrificing the lives of humans and animals to the gods is the best way to please the gods. And the heart and brain are the most high-end sacrificial rituals.

"Really?" Ji Le stretched out his hand, and the heart that shimmered with divine power flew in front of him, and he could faintly smell the bloody breath on it.

Suppressing the discomfort, Ji Le and Yan Yuese said to this great spirit: "You are the clan god of the Ayang tribe? Since you are willing to take the initiative to take refuge, then the main hall cannot fail to express it." ”

"Yu Yuan, send someone to inform Wu Cheng and ask him to take the edict of the Spirit Palace and go to the Fenggong to transfer all the slaves of the Ayang tribe to the Spirit Palace. In the future, the treatment will be upgraded by one level. ”

According to Ji Le's idea, the slaves were divided into three ranks. The lowest-level cheap slaves are not eligible to join the Xia Kingdom and belong to the cannon fodder level of the Xia Kingdom. Higher, there are ordinary slaves, that is, those current slaves in the Feng Palace of the Xia Kingdom. If you don't perform well, you will be reprimanded downward, and if you perform well, you will be promoted. This is the case with the Ayang tribe, Ji Le's mouth touched, and their entire clan was promoted from ordinary slaves to a higher class of "noble slaves". This kind of slave has the qualification to supervise other slaves, and can also enjoy their own slaves, and has rights in the Xia Kingdom second only to the Han people. If it is for Xia Guogong, he can be further upgraded to a real national.

In short, take advantage of the contradictions within the slaves, use the slaves to suppress the slaves, and leave a way forward to alleviate the slaves' grievances against the Xia Kingdom.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" the clan god heard Ji Le's words and kept kowtowing in the main hall.

"Alright, get up. And you, since you are the first to take refuge in this temple, you cannot be without a reward. In the future, you will be called Zongbu, and you will be able to establish your own dwelling place on the altar. ”

These great spirits of the earth were suppressed in one spiritual platform after another. Even if I go back yesterday, I must return to Huabiao honestly, and I can't stay out for long. Now the god Zongbu is regarded as the great spirit attached to the Spirit Palace because he is the first to take refuge in Ji Le. Eligible to establish a dwelling and have their own subordinate shrine maidens.

"As for the shrine maiden you belong to, Yu Yu will send someone to contact you when you turn around. Of course, the shrine maidens given by the main hall are extraordinary and should not be taken lightly. ”

Zong Bu God hesitated and looked at Cui Jing, the witch who helped him buy clothes and teach him the language yesterday.

"Your Highness, can you let Your Excellency Cui Jing be my witch?"

Ji Le looked at Cui Jing, and Cui Jing also looked back at His Royal Highness, blinking frequently.

This girl is really capable!

Yesterday he had sent the shrine maidens to teach these great spirits, and he had reminded them beforehand. Let them try to win over and try to gain the trust of these people.

"I didn't expect Cui Jing, this girl, to get a great spirit so quickly. And depending on the situation, the reason why Zongbu God took the initiative to take refuge is also related to Cui Jing. Well done!"

Ji Le praised Cui Jing in his heart.

Becoming the exclusive shrine maidens of these Great Spirits is only the first step, and the next step is for them to sign a contract with the Great Spirit. When you go into battle with the army, let the shrine maidens wield the power of these great spirits.

It's not a god who bestows magic, it's a shrine maiden envoy.

The last and most secondary, it is also a contract of equality between gods and men, and Ji Le calls this "God Covenanter".

There are examples of Cui Jing and Zongbu Shen, and the other great spirits have spoken out one after another, expressing their loyalty to Ji Le.

However, Ji Le pushed them off one by one: "The main hall is tired, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Today, in order to set an example, I promoted all the 3,000 slaves of the Ayang tribe to "noble slaves", and I don't know how to jump when I turn back to Yang Ke.

Moreover, if I give you all the benefits at once, how will I be obedient in the future?

Ji Le knows very well the truth that scarcity is precious, and classifies slaves, precisely to slowly concoct these great spirits, so that these donkeys keep running forward for the rations tied in front of them, and sell blood for the Xia Kingdom.

Ji Le sent the Great Spirit back, and the earth lords showed disappointed expressions, so they had to leave accompanied by the shrine maidens.

Cui Jing and Zongbu Shen were the last to leave. Before leaving, the two saluted Ji Le respectfully.

"Hurry up, Cui Jing, help Zongbu God to find a residence, don't be lazy. ”

"I understand. Cui Jing is not stupid, she deeply knows that the honest spirit around her is her hope for her future rise in the Spirit Palace. With his help, he has a status second only to Yu Yu among the witches.
