Chapter 37: The Clash of Ideas

In the past few days, the entire Lion King Territory has been making intense pre-war preparations, and everyone is like a clockwork machine, working non-stop to contribute their own strength to the defense of the Lion King Territory.

At that time, no one thought that the Lion King could hold it, and every citizen was mentally prepared to change their masters, and for them, there was no big difference between changing their masters. But no one expected that Xiao Yu would be able to summon orc soldiers and elven soldiers to defeat Karui's army.

After that battle, Xiao Yu also implemented a series of policies, so that the people in the territory received unprecedented benefits, and there was absolutely no better territorial policy anywhere.

Nowadays, everyone is attached to this kind of social policy, which is extremely beneficial to the people, and wants to maintain this policy forever. And if you want to maintain this policy, you must ensure that Xiao Yu is the lord here, and ensure that the Lion King Leader will not be attacked by Karui this time.

Now, Xiao Yu has successfully tied all the people to his boat.

Now the most relaxed one, but Xiao Yu, after Xiao Yu assigned the task, every day is a stroll alone, look at the city defense, inspect the progress of the soldiers in the base, tease those dancing girls of the wave tribe a few times, and peek at the graceful body revealed by the sweat of a few sisters-in-law when they are tired, and they are very happy.

The slaves who were taken from Calus had basically divided into two groups, the first group was some passing merchants or commoners from some places who were looted by Calus, and occasionally some traveling nobles, and the second group was some of the homeless ones who had been slaves for a long time.

For the first type, Xiao Yu directly issued severance pay and let them go home by themselves. The second is that they have all stayed, ready to give them civilian status.

Now the social system of this world basically belongs to the late stage of the slave society, the prototype of the feudal society was built, it seems that in the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China, although slaves also existed, but most of them have been transformed into commoners, only some minority races, can not get rid of the status of slaves. The whole society is in a period of transition.

The Black Iron Clan, for example, is a race that is believed to be a slave forever.

More than half of the male slaves that Xiao Yu got from Calus this time were Black Iron Clan, and these Black Iron Clan slaves were all very tall and strong, and some were not inferior to orcs. They were all slaves taken from the Kalum region in the far south.

The Black Iron people still belong to a very primitive tribal race, and they are very backward in ideology and civilization, but they are very strong and hard-working, so they have become the best race to be slaves to hard labor.

Every year, a large number of adventurers go deep into Kalum to rob these slaves, make them do the hardest and most tiring work, and do not give them enough to eat, and many of the slaves of the Black Iron Clan almost die before they live to be twenty-five years old.

Xiao Yu originally wanted to give them the status of civilians, but they encountered difficulties in two aspects, first, these Black Iron people did not have their own thoughts, and after being enslaved for a long time, they felt that they were born slaves, and gave them freedom, but they didn't know how to survive. On the second side, the old butler Xiao Hong strongly opposed the power given to the civilians of the Black Iron Clan. The old housekeeper has been loyal to the Xiao family all his life, and everything is good, but his thinking is very old-fashioned, and he can't stand Xiao Yu's new thoughts. Previously, because of Xiao Yu's tax policies and the excessively high treatment given to civilians, Xiao Yu had conflicts with him several times. If it weren't for the fact that the current territory is indeed too weak, Xiao Hong would definitely not agree with Xiao Yu's tax exemption policy and the high treatment given to the fallen soldiers, in this world, only after the nobles died in battle, they were eligible to be left with their names for future generations.

The last time the old and weak women and children were taken from Tong Guan, although there were traces of robbers, many of them were former civilians, not slaves, so Xiao Yu gave them the power of civilians, and although the old housekeeper was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't say anything.

Those women of the Bolan Clan, although Xiao Yu had promised to give them the power of civilians, the old housekeeper still resisted vigorously, saying that the women of the Bolan Clan were all dancing girls, how could they become civilians of the Lion King Territory, which would make the Lion King Leader a joke.

Xiao Yu gave several orders, but the old housekeeper Xiao Hong only thought that Xiao Yu had a problem with his head, and directly allocated these women of the Lan clan to a few young ladies as slaves, and did not treat them in the way of slaves, but also did not completely give them freedom and let them become real civilians.

Xiao Yu looked at a few women from the Wave tribe who didn't worry about food and clothing, and they didn't have any dissatisfaction, but they were very happy, so they didn't bother to care. His sisters-in-law are not mean people, and they will not be too bad to these women of the Lan clan.

This time, these people were handed over to the old butler, and Xiao Hong divided the civilians and merchants captured by the robbers, and agreed with Xiao Yu's approach, giving them freedom and letting them go home by themselves.

In this world, if a nobleman rescues some commoners from robbers, he actually has the right to enjoy the personal rights of these commoners, and can regard these people as slaves. If the family members of these people want to take these people away, they need to pay a certain amount of money and goods to redeem them.

But as a noble nobleman, rescuing some civilians who were taken captive by robbers and then letting them go without compensation is also regarded as a noble virtue.

Therefore, in order to improve Xiao Yu's reputation, the old housekeeper also agreed to let go of these civilians and merchants for free.

And those slaves of the Black Iron Clan, and some comfort women who have long been reduced to slaves, the old butler said that he would not give them the status of civilians, and even forced them to die.

The old housekeeper has been loyal for so many years, and seeing that the old housekeeper is about to force him with his life, Xiao Yu can only give in. What the old butler did was still maintaining the dignity and status of a territorial noble lord, but in fact, it was also for Xiao Yu's sake, but his thoughts were too different from Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's thoughts in that era were too different from this era.

In the end, Xiao Yu could only ask the old housekeeper to give food and clothing to these slaves of the Black Iron Clan, so that they would no longer be hungry and clothed. As for those comfort women-like female slaves, Xiao Yu strictly forbade anyone to violate them again, only let them do some simple work in the territory, and give them enough food, clothing, shelter and transportation necessities.

In fact, there are many such comfort women-like female slaves in any aristocratic home, and they are all used as the private favorites of the nobles, showing off to others like commodities, and even sharing them with others.

And there was a time when the nobles who owned the female slaves of the elven clan were known as a symbol of status and status.

At the beginning, Xiao Yu was indignant to see these female slaves being enslaved in such a way in the cottage of Calus, just because he was a person of that era, and it was difficult to accept this kind of casual insult and trampling on women. In fact, in this world, this kind of thing is not a big deal, it is a normal phenomenon.

Xiao Yu could only sigh in the end, feeling a sense of sadness for their fate, his strength alone was limited, and it was impossible to completely change the situation.

If slavery is really completely eliminated and this society enters a relatively better feudal society, I am afraid it will be an extremely difficult thing.

Don't forget the huge shocks and bloodshed caused by those periods of system change in history, and this kind of change of thinking is not something that he can do alone.

Unless...... Unless he really unifies the world, becomes the king of this era, and then slowly changes through some systems.

Although Xiao Hong and other conservative factions tried their best to obstruct him, Xiao Yu still used the pretext that the elf god and the beast god required him to implement the policy of equality of all beings as a condition, and gradually let this world enter the feudal society according to the ideas of the previous world.

If they were to enter relatively democratic capitalism or socialism all at once, this would be impossible at all, and they would not be able to accept it themselves.

Xiao Yu is still thinking about using Shang Ying's set of methods in the future, and now it seems that the resistance is not small.

It's no wonder that Shang Ying was torn apart by the car back then, and now Xiao Yu really understands that kind of difficulty. However, Xiao Yu will have to implement the set of things that Shang Ying has changed sooner or later.

Because as a person of that era, he knew too well that it was absolutely impossible for him to dominate the world just by relying on these Warcraft soldiers. If you want to truly become the king of this era, you must fundamentally make all the people obey you, and let the people of this world be willing to fight for you, so that you can become as strong as the Qin Dynasty back then.

This era is almost the same era as the rise of the Qin Dynasty, Shang Ying's policy can be said to be just right, if such a good thing is not used, Xiao Yu is an idiot, the great changes in the Qin State after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, blind people can see it. Qin was able to unify the six kingdoms, and the Shang Dynasty changed the law to play 80 percent, relatively speaking, Qin Shi Huang's eloquence could only account for about 20 percent.

As long as Xiao Yu has laid a certain foundation here, and then slowly implemented those measures of Shang Ying, it is not impossible to really become the king of this world and unify the world like Qin Shi Huang.

However, this must also be done step by step, and it cannot be done in one step, otherwise, even if you are a lord, you will face a huge dilemma.

The slaves of the Black Iron Man had eaten enough, dressed warmly, and were full of energy at Xiao Yu's place, and now they were all desperately carrying stones to the city.

They were of a large size, and they had a surprisingly large amount of food, and they had never had enough to eat since they became slaves. In other words, they have never had enough food since they were born, because their previous tribe was also extremely unproductive, and it was not easy to eat well.

Xiao Yu was full of food here, and the clothes were enough to wear, so that they already felt like they were in heaven.

It was Xiao Yu's order to transport stones to the city, and with a powerful device like a trebuchet, ammunition must be sufficient.

A few days ago, Xiao Yu tested the power of the beast clan's catapult, which could launch stones weighing up to five hundred catties at once, with a range of about three hundred meters.

If it is a 200-pound stone, the range can reach six or seven hundred meters.

This is only on flat ground, if it is on a tall city wall, five hundred catties of stones can also make a distance of seven or eight hundred meters. With such a distance and such firepower, Xiao Yu was extremely satisfied, so he naturally had to prepare for ammunition.

Looking at the hot scene in the city, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Kalu, come on, come on, use the blood of your troops to achieve my glory." ”

………………
