With the sound of Ye Xi reciting the codex.

Gradually, the slaves, who had been hiding in the distance, came over unconsciously, hid themselves behind the stone monument, and pricked up their ears to listen intently with the others.

Ye Xi didn't care, looked up at the majestic stone tablet and continued: "...... Article 63 of the Code states that public servants shall not be arbitrarily executed without reason, and violators shall be punished with eighty lashes. ”

Now the tribes of Xicheng have both private slaves and public subordinates.

Private slaves are the property of individuals alone, and they usually live in the master's stone house, and life and death are decided by the master, so it is inconvenient for this Ye Xi to interfere.

And the public ** is a common property belonging to Xicheng, usually living together in a cave, and needs to help Xicheng work, Ye Xi doesn't want to see these slaves being killed easily.

Ye Xi read down: "Article 64 of the Code, if a female slave gives birth to more than three children belonging to Xicheng people, then the female slave will be pardoned as a commoner. ”

The slave girls who were hiding behind the stele and listening glared at each other in disbelief.

Ye Xi continued: "Article 64 of the Code, slaves who have contributed to Xicheng will be rewarded and even pardoned as commoners. ”

At this time, several male ** subordinates hiding behind the stone tablet couldn't stand.

A slave wearing torn leather armor and a face covered with mud came out boldly, knelt down in front of Ye Xi with a pop, and lay down with his upper body deeply.

"Dare to ask Lord Xiwu, what kind of contribution is enough to be pardoned as a civilian?"

The civilians of Xicheng could bend down and salute when they saw the high-rises, but the slaves had to kneel on their knees and lie on their stomachs.

For example, the witches or chieftains of Xicheng are relatively peaceful, and generally do not embarrass slaves, while the upper echelons of some tribes are full of anger, and sometimes they order the execution of a slave if they don't like it, and there are even those who torture slaves for fun.

In the past, the Pig tribe was like this, and there were countless slaves who died in their hands, so these Pig tribe slaves wanted to leave as soon as they saw Ye Xi.

This can be regarded as living with oneself.

"Shi Ge, you ......"

The other slaves didn't expect their companions to be so bold, so they called out the slave's name in a panic, and then they all came out and knelt down towards Ye Xi, their upper bodies lying deep on the snow.

The people of the surrounding tribes were full of anger because a slave dared to interrupt Ye Xi's words, and their faces were all pale, and their eyes were staring at this Shi Ge coldly.

Ye Xi was not angry, lowered his head calmly, looked at the slave Shi Ge who was still buried in front of him, and replied,

"For example, finding the source stone to give to Xicheng, such as desperately defending Xicheng when Xicheng encounters enemies, such as finding a certain crop with a particularly high yield...... As long as it is beneficial to Xicheng, it is fine. ”

"Lord Xie Xiwu!!"

When Shi Ge got the answer, he immediately kowtowed to Ye Xi a few times, still lying on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

At this time, a female slave girl boldly said, "Xi...... Lord Xiwu, I also have a question for you, I don't know if it's okay?"

The female slave was obviously not as bold as Shi Ge, and her body trembled violently with fear.

Ye Xi was much more lenient with women, and said gently: "If you have any questions, just ask, you can get up first." ”

The slave girl's animal skin was thin and tattered, her cheeks were so thin that she was slightly sunken, and her ten fingers were as red and swollen as carrots, and she looked miserable.

In fact, Xicheng treats female slaves more preferentially, does not let female slaves do heavy work, and the food and fur distributed are never short, but the condition of female slaves is often worse than that of male slaves.

Because of the food and fur that belonged to them, most of them were snatched away by the stronger male **.

This situation can be managed if Ye Xi really wants to manage it.

But no matter what, it's more beneficial to Xicheng.

So Ye Xi didn't take action, but just let the situation continue to develop, so that the female slave gradually began to hate the male ** subordinate of the same clan and separated from each other.

After all, according to the regulations formulated now, most of the female slaves are very likely to become official Xicheng people, if they still have a deep affection for the same clan by then, and even help the male slaves escape, then Xicheng will be in trouble in the future.

Listening to Ye Xi's gentle voice, the slave girl calmed down a little, and she didn't tremble anymore when she spoke.

It's just that she still didn't dare to get up, buried her head deeply and said, "I want to ask, Lord Xiwu, are the children born to our slaves to be taken care of by ourselves?"

Ye Xi: "No, we will take care of it." ”

A few slave girls who heard this breathed a sigh of relief, and the last bit of worry disappeared.

Who wouldn't want to get rid of their slavery status, but their own survival was difficult enough, and it was impossible to raise three more children, who would most likely starve to death.

Now that Xicheng will be in charge of raising it, that couldn't be better.

In fact, Article 65 of the Code of Laws mentions this. ”

Ye Xi looked up at the stele and read: "Slaves under the age of five, children born to female slaves, and children born to non-partners will be sent to the 'Young Tower' that is specifically responsible for raising these children, and the Young Tower will be raised by the Young Tower, and those who have reached the age of thirteen, or those who have passed the test can be separated from the Young Tower and have autonomy. ”

When everyone heard this, they all shouted from the bottom of their hearts.

"Lord Xiwu is merciful!!"

After a while, a tribesman stood up with a hesitant face, then gritted his teeth and saluted Ye Xi, and asked, "Lord Xiwu, you said that the public ** subordinate should not be executed at will......"

His eyes gradually turned red, and his whole body trembled: "But the people of the Zhi tribe have cruelly tortured our people, and they don't even spare the babies of our tribe...... When I saw some of the slaves of the pig tribe, I hated them, and I wanted to kill them......"

At this he burst into tears, his throat felt like he was choked by something, and he couldn't speak any more.

There was silence all around.

Ye Xi said word by word, sonorously and powerfully: "Xicheng people, there is no need to bully weak and brutal people as clansmen, killing these slaves does not conform to the word 'casual', and it is not a violation of Article 63 of the Code." ”

The tribesmen were overjoyed and urgently asked, "What about private slaves? Some abominable people have been assigned private slaves, and they should also be punished!"

Ye Xi glanced at him: "Private slaves, that is other people's property, you have no right to kill them, but you can exchange your own property for private slaves with the other party." ”

“...... Yes!"

Ye Xi retracted his gaze and said to the others: "If you still have any questions, you can ask me together." ”

The Turquoise also has a more flexible mind and speaks without scruples, asking: "Lord Xiwu, what if someone robs, but the robber insists that he didn't rob and refuses to admit that he robbed?"

Ye Xi glanced at him appreciatively and said with a smile: "We will set up a tribunal, and the adults of the tribunal will handle these disputes together, and I believe that no one will be wronged." ”

"There will also be Bu Wu in the inquisition office in turn, and the problems that cannot be solved will be left to them to judge. ”

Witch!

Everyone was shocked.

The ability of Bu Wu is mysterious, and the White Turtle Wu can even faintly predict natural disasters, this kind of trivial matter of judging whether he is lying or not, presumably Bu Wu also has the means to solve it.

The turquoise was sincerely convinced now, and boasted: "Lord Xiwu is really thoughtful!"

Ye Xi smiled slightly, his gaze swept over the others: "Do you have any other questions?"

There was silence all around.

For a while, everyone couldn't think of anything else to ask.

At this time, a milky voice suddenly sounded: "Yes!"

Ye Xi turned his head to look, it turned out to be the little herd bean riding on his father's back talking, the little herd bean was only two years old, the little face was raised fat, hidden in the fluffy animal skin clothes, looking very cute.

It is not easy for such a young child to survive the migration, Ye Xi's eyes softened: "You say." ”

Mudou raised his head and pointed to the top line of the stele and said, "What is written in this line?"

The top line of characters is particularly large, and Ye Xi also carved out the pen with a carving knife by himself, which looked strong and powerful, very beautiful, and immediately attracted the attention of Xiao Mudou.

Ye Xi touched his little head.

"This line reads," his expression slowly became solemn, "- may the light of civilization shine on the earth, and the glory of the human race will last forever." ”
