Chapter 39: Human Sacrifice and Human Martyrdom
Ji Tong stood up, glanced at everyone, and explained his countermeasures to the others in a loud voice: "I have a few ways to deal with slaves. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"First, those who are not diligent are not allowed to eat, the food of the lazy population will be halved, and the food of the most diligent people will be halved."
"The biggest dissatisfaction of the diligent people is that they work much harder than the lazy people, but they get the same as them."
"Second, all slaves who have worked hard for three consecutive years can be stripped of their slavery status and become free people, and they will be treated as if they were my Chinese children."
"Difficulties are not terrible, what is terrible is the difficulties after difficulties, and endless difficulties will kill the motivation of slaves to work, give them a chance to improve, and hard-working people are qualified to be one of us."
"Third, use slaves to manage slaves, all slaves in a team of ten, appoint the most industrious people to be captains, give captains more food, better grass huts, and let them beat slaves and scold slaves."
"Divert the hatred of slaves, let them hate the captains who are also slaves, we just need to manage the captains of each slave team."
……
Ji Tong is the person in charge of all slaves, long-term contact with slaves, obtained a lot of valuable information, how to manage slaves He thought about it for two whole years, and finally came up with a few good methods.
Yuluo looked at Ji Tong, who was calm, and nodded secretly, the method he thought of was basically the same, and even exceeded, it seemed that he had matured and could take on heavier responsibilities.
Everyone in the conference room exchanged their heads and ears, and they all agreed with Ji Tong's management method, and began to have confidence in solving the current slave problem of the tribe.
Looking at everyone, Ji Tong was a little hesitant in his heart, he actually had another suggestion, that is, it was forbidden for bloody people to sacrifice people.
The Chinese tribe will slaughter a large number of slaves every festival and sacrifice their ancestors with their flesh and blood.
In his opinion, such a sacrifice was unnecessary, and if he was one of his ancestors, he would never like such a blood sacrifice.
Yuluo saw that he still had nothing to say, and shouted at him: "What else do you have to say, say it, you are also the leader of the tribe, you must have the courage to lead." ”
"Yes, Chief!" Ji Tong turned his heart sideways and said the last suggestion loudly: "Human sacrifice must be forbidden." ”
Ji Tong's words caused an uproar among everyone, and the conference hall fell into chaos, and everyone couldn't bear it anymore and retorted loudly.
"No, the gods will be angry and send us calamity."
"The rules left by our ancestors can't be changed."
The chaotic scene made Yuluo extremely irritable, "Shut up!" In an instant, the sound stopped, and the chamber returned to silence.
The cruel tradition of human sacrifice and martyrdom has been carried over from much longer time to please the gods, comfort their ancestors, appease the wandering evil spirits, and protect the people of the tribe from disasters.
Frequent foreign wars brought a large number of prisoners of war, and after each victory, a huge festival was held in China.
The slaughter of prisoners of war and the sacrifice of flesh and blood during ceremonies is an integral part of it, but even the cruel Jade Snail is aware of the problems with this tradition.
The number of sacrifices was so great that more than 300 strong prisoners of war were killed in a single war celebration.
"Ji Tong, you go on."
Hearing Yuluo's order, Ji Tong plucked up his courage: "Every slave is useful, and most of the chestnut rice and dried fish we eat are the result of the slaves' hard work. "We should not continue human sacrifice and martyrdom, we can use black dolphins instead of prisoners of war and slaves, I believe that the flesh and blood of black porpoises are more palatable to the appetite of our ancestors than dirty slaves."
His explanation could not convince the others, and the good weather over the years had brought them a taste of the chestnut rice harvest that had taken place for several years.
Ji Tong glanced at everyone and asked them loudly, "When the old mother is still there, is there anyone in our tribe who sacrifices people to martyrdom?" ”
None of them answered, and a terrible thought sent them into deep thought.
Ji Tong paused for a moment, then shouted loudly at everyone, "No! Now we have killed countless prisoners of war and slaves, but the gods have never come down again. ”
"Are we doing something wrong? These flesh and blood may not please the gods at all, but they only anger the gods. ”
Angered the gods? So the gods never came down again?
Ji Tong's words were like a sledgehammer that instantly smashed everyone's hearts, and the great fear was like a black flood that drowned them, and the conference hall fell into a deathly silence.
Yuluo is one of the few people in the tribe who has really seen the gods, and the gods of the dream realm taught her the delicate recurve bow, which is also the guarantee of the invincibility of the Huaxia tribe over the years.
The appearance of the god has long been blurred, and his teachings have become the cornerstone of the rise of the tribe, but it is not him who has really promoted the development of the Huaxia tribe over the years, but every person in the tribe.
She closed her eyes tiredly and announced her decision in a deep voice: "Do what Ji Tong said, and in the future, anyone will be forbidden to carry out human sacrifice and human martyrdom, so let's disperse." ”
…..
Ji Tong's decision brought a new change to the Huaxia tribe, and the atmosphere of the slave team changed.
The summer harvest was smoothly promoted, and the lowly identity was washed away and joining the powerful Huaxia became the ideal that every slave longed for.
The first to benefit is the captain of each slave squad, an extra bowl of chestnut rice and half dried fish every day, a clean grass hut for two people, and even a comfortable coat.
In order to maintain the hard-won life, the team leader has refined a pair of golden-eyed and vigilant surveillance team members.
Turf was captured in the war a year ago and became a slave of Huaxia, because he had experienced the cruel baptism of war, he knew how precious it was to live, as long as he could survive, he was not afraid of hard work.
So he was lucky enough to become the captain of a slave squad, crawled back to the world from hell, and once again experienced the satisfaction of food and clothing, and he had a bolder idea, that is, to become a Chinese.
The captain had the least share of labor, and he quickly completed his daily work, looking around and surveying each member of the team with a critical eye.
He was very dissatisfied with the progress of the work, and he felt very angry, lazy people, why do you want to harm me, do you want to drag me down and make me a lowly slave forever?
"Cheap, cheap, you cheap, what are you!" He angrily yelled at the other team members.
Pick up the wooden stick, run to them quickly, and beat the team members who dare to be lazy.
"Don't hit me, please, we're a tribe, don't hit me." The team members from the same background as him knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands and begged for mercy.
The cry for mercy made the assault even angrier, "Whoever is in the tribe with you, I'm going to kill you." ”
Brute dropped the stick, picked up the stone and slammed it into his head, with a loud bang, blood splattered on Bruden's face, and the twisted face became even more hideous.
The team members on the ground lay on the ground and wailed and twitched, and the Assault stared at the others and shouted, "Is there anyone else who dares to be lazy?" If you don't want to die, work hard. You lowly seeds, the Chinese people are already so merciful, they dare to be lazy. ”
The others were frightened by his violent actions, their faces were pale and they no longer dared to be lazy, and they quickly waved the stone sickle with the fear in their hearts, and the seeds of hatred were instantly planted in everyone's hearts.
Seeing the movements of these people, the Sudden Feng finally dropped the stone with satisfaction and kicked the thigh of the player who was still wailing in pain on the ground: "Get up!" Keep up your work, and I'll stone you next time. ”
Ignoring the pain on their heads, the team struggled to stand up, picked up the stone sickle with fear, wiped the blood from their faces and continued to work.
Suddenly, a warm voice came from behind him: "Pay attention to the method, don't hurt your teammates." ”
Tu Feng turned his head to look, and immediately knelt on the ground excitedly: "Yes, Commander Ji Tong!" He kowtowed vigorously, then raised his head and looked at the man in front of him with reverence.
The other slaves put down their work and knelt on the ground with the captain, thanking Ji Tong in front of them over and over again in their hearts.
He gave these slaves the hope of progress, and the cessation of human sacrifice and martyrdom directly saved their lives, Ji Tong, you are the most merciful Chinese people, and you are the brightest star in the dark.
In contrast, their captain is more ferocious than the most brutal wolf in the wilderness.
