"Did the slaves and serfs succeed in the end?" and did they occupy the territory?" asked Donner, who was still more concerned about the matter.

There has already been a spontaneous uprising of slaves, indicating that the Holy Light Continent has a little bit of liberated soil.

"No!" Jason replied, shaking his head, "The slaves began to conquer the two towns, but it was not long before a disagreement arose, and some of them began to have fun, eating the food of the town, the mansions of several lords and knights, and wearing their noble clothes, while others continued to conquer other towns, but in the end they were all exterminated by the lord's army. ”

This...... How can it be so similar?

Donner was stunned, then thought about it and realized that this was very similar to some situations in history.

The original purpose of the slaves' rebellion was simple, but it was only a rebellion that occurred when they could no longer live hungry.

It was not an uprising with a clear purpose at all, and there was no central idea and no ultimate goal.

They were originally slaves, but they suddenly stormed the town, occupied the noble mansions in the town, and got so much food and clothing.

They filled their bellies, enjoyed the luxuries of the nobility, and then they were at a loss, satisfied, and some of the slaves did not want to continue the riot, and began to enjoy something that they had never enjoyed before, so that disagreement arose, and it was only natural that they would be exterminated in the end.

"In fact, such riots have occurred in many territories, and the most frequent ones have been in recent years. Blair lamented, "It can all fail without exception." ”

This is inevitable, and without organization, discipline, and core guiding ideology, an insurrection can only be an insurrection, and it cannot become a real armed uprising, nor can it seize power.

Such a revolt could only be a disaster, not to mention the suppression of the nobles, even ordinary freemen, artisans, merchants, etc., would be on the side of the lords.

"By the way, you just said that the king issued an edict abolishing slaves?" Donner suddenly remembered a question.

"Yes!" Blair nodded, "All along, the slave capture teams in various territories have been unscrupulous, and they have captured civilians from other territories as slaves to each other. In recent years, however, there had been a large number of slave revolts, which caused many freemen to cry out, so several wise men jointly proposed to the king that slavery be abolished completely, and the king issued this edict. ”

However, this edict was resisted by most of the nobles and lords, and was not really implemented. ”

It must not be carried out, this is tantamount to offending the interests of all the nobles, Donner thought to himself.

Later, some far-sighted nobles and lords came up with a compromise and proposed to prohibit slave hunters from arresting civilians in the kingdom, but to go to neighboring countries. It is strictly forbidden to reduce civilians who have not committed serious crimes to slavery and to buy and sell them freely, and each slave must have a slave contract jointly approved by the Kingdom and the Holy See, and it is not allowed to be branded on the slaves' faces in the future. ”

But in fact, this situation still existed in private, and many lords and nobles formed slave hunting teams to capture a large number of illegal slaves and imprint the slaves' faces. ”

Well, according to this argument, he is an illegal slave? Because he has never signed any slave contract.

Donner suddenly wanted to laugh.

Jason sighed: "Actually, if you had followed the teacher's method, there would have been so many riots and so many deaths." ”

"Do you know the real reason why the slaves, the serfs, and some of the civilian artisans revolted?" Donner asked the two of them with a smile.

Blair shook his head and said, "We have asked this question before, but the teacher is too vague and we don't understand it." ”

It seems that the sage actually understood it in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, so he said it vaguely.

"To understand the real cause of the riots, we must understand how the slaves came to be. Donner moved: "Do you know how the slaves and serfs came to be?"

"We know that. Jason wondered: "Some of the slaves were caused by slave hunting teams, some were made by civilians who committed crimes and became slaves, some were slaves and captives from neighboring countries, and some were unable to survive and sold themselves or their relatives." ”

"As for the serfs, they basically couldn't survive in the face of disasters, and then lost their land and property and became serfs, but serfs were much better than slaves, at least they were rarely bought and sold freely, and they generally lived in the territory of the nobles. ”

"Huh. Donner laughed, "And who caused all this?"

Jason and Blair were silent, they didn't seem to have thought about such a deep problem, they used to think that the teacher's idea was very right, as long as the abolition of slavery could make the kingdom stable, there would be no riots, and the rule would be long.

But now that I think about it, it's too naïve, because the production of slaves is fundamentally caused by all the nobles, even the royal family.

"You should know the history!" Donner looked at Jason Blair and the others meaningfully, and as for Jasmine Hans and the others, they were already deep in thought.

"Throughout the history of two thousand years, why are there so few slaves in every territory or kingdom at the beginning of its existence, and then there are more and more slaves in the back, and there are more and more riots?" asked Donner.

"The root cause is the land. Donner said flatly.

Blair and Jason, Hans Mack, and others chewed on these two words, as if they had grasped something in their heads, but could not say anything.

"In the tribal era, the population was sparse at the beginning, there were no slaves, and everyone relied on hunting and farming to support themselves. But later, the population gradually increased, but the productivity did not increase, and each tribe only had so much land, only so much prey, and could only grow so much food, and could not feed all the people in the tribe, what should I do?"

"So there was a war, and the tribes began to annex each other, occupying each other's territory and population, so that the first slaves were produced, and many people died in the war, and the chiefs found that they had occupied enough territory, and no one could control any more, and the territory was enough to feed all the tribesmen, so the chiefs continued to keep the peace. ”

In order to better control the vast tribes, chiefs began to give some of their rights and lands to their relatives and descendants, as well as to those loyal warriors, and nobility began to emerge. ”

"In times of peace, the population has always grown rapidly, but the productivity has always been low, because the nobles, in order to ensure the power in their hands, they have firmly grasped the knowledge, advanced means of production, and large production resources, but they have always refused to pass it on to the inhabitants of the tribe. ”

And so, the tribe began to run out of food again, and the slaves and lords were starved to death in large numbers, and they began to revolt, and then the war broke out again. ”

"But...... This time the war was a little different, because it was the slaves and civilians who started the war in order to survive. ”
