Chapter 363: Speaking of the First Slave
The old man may not say much about other things, the things he cares about are limited, and "a thousand grains of gold" is just one of them, and it still accounts for a large proportion in the old man's heart.
If Shao Xuan asks for it again, no matter what he says, even if he fights directly, the old man would rather die, and a thousand grains is already his last concession.
"I said that I would make up for it with other things, but I don't have much on hand right now, so I can't give it to you. In this way, if you have time in the future, go to the royal city, report my name, and I will give you whatever you want. The old man said and handed Shao Xuan a small copper knife that was curved like a shrunken sickle, "This is for you, if you go to the royal city, you can take out this and let someone take you to me." ”
Wangcheng?
Shao Xuan was stunned for a moment, raised his head and took the knife, and looked at the old man: "What is your old man's full name?"
"Old man Jiju!"
Shao Xuan had heard that it was the surname of Wang, many of the noble slave owners on the other side of the royal city were surnamed Ji, and they were now the slave owners who owned the most fields, and the royal family surnamed Ji was also transformed from the people of the former Ji tribe, and later the Ji tribe collected all the other five large tribes, and "Ji" was the surname used by the people of the Ji tribe.
Long ago, the tribesmen of this land discovered another way of using fire, some of the tribesmen became slave owners and established city-states, while others remained as tribesmen.
"Have you enslaved a lot of slaves?" asked Shao Xuan, who had put the divided grains handed over by Jiju into the animal skin bag.
Since he was a slave owner with the largest land, there must have been many slaves working under him. But that's not the case.
"There are many slaves, after all, I have a lot of land, and I have to be taken care of, but slaves who are enslaved. There is only one. Jiju said this with pride on his face.
The difference between an ordinary slave and a slave enslaved is similar to that between the beasts raised in the Flamehorn tribe and the beasts that are inscribed. This Shao Xuan inquired about it on the way to the road, so he was not too surprised by this, but he was a little surprised that Jiju only enslaved one slave.
"That must be a very good slave. Shao Xuan said.
"That's natural. The 'Yellow Earth' is a very good slave and can help me take care of the fields. Speaking of which, Jiju misses his slave a little.
"How do you give people this name?" Shao Xuan asked.
"This name is very good, I took it personally!" Regarding Shao Xuan's question, Ji Ju's face was full of disapproval, "Also, who said that 'Yellow Earth' is a person?"
"Then what is it?" Shao Xuan was really curious. A slave owner of this age only enslaved one slave at hand, and the only slave was not a human being.
Jiju said proudly: "Moo-"
Shao Xuan: "...... Moo, cow?"
"Yes, don't you think this slave is very good? I enslaved it when it was only a little bit. It is in charge of a large field in my hand. Jiju smiled and her old face bloomed.
"I really want to see and see when I have the opportunity. Shao Xuan said.
When it comes to his love slave, the old man's depression just now has dissipated a lot, and he thinks that his eyes are like torches, and the smile on his face has not stopped. Attention shifted from a thousand grains of gold to his own scalper, and Jiju said a lot.
"Let me tell you, Shao Xuan, if you want to enslave slaves in the future, the first slave must be careful. Because the first slave is most likely the most loyal one. It is also the one that is most closely connected with your consciousness, no matter how good other slaves are, they will always be a little worse, this is the commonality of slavery. Therefore, our slave owners are very cautious when choosing the first slave, and some people may not even enslave slaves until middle age because they cannot find a satisfactory slave. "The house is also a topic of slavery. Seeing that Shao Xuan had helped him so much, and because he had found a plant that was suspected of being a thousand grains of gold, he was in a good mood, so he said this to Shao Xuan.
"In fact, many slave owners know this, but you tribesmen may not. Of course, you tribesmen don't have much interest in enslaving slaves, and the chances of success are not very high, so that's how you can't get the hang of it. Jiju said.
Hearing Jiju's words, Shao Xuan had a strange expression on his face and asked, "The first slave to be enslaved is very important?"
"It's very important!" said Kiju.
"Do you have to choose from a thousand choices?" Shao Xuan asked again.
"Not bad!"
"Can't be slaved?"
"Nonsense!"
Jiju told Shao Xuan uneasily: "How can you be enslaved casually?!" Once our ancestors did not know that the first slave enslaved was the most special, so they did not pay attention to it, so that there were many betrayals of slaves, and the chaotic enslavement of slaves led to their own characteristics and strengths being scattered, and they were not loyal enough, and their consciousness was not tightly connected. Therefore, the slave is not too expensive, especially the first slave. ”
Knowing that the situation here was different from that on the desert side, Shao Xuan didn't ask much, just the first slave...... He was embarrassed to tell Jiju that he actually had slaves, and the first slave enslaved was a beetle that pushed a dung ball, or he was enslaved as an experiment.
No wonder the blue beetle is so loyal, Shao Xuan can also clearly feel the current state of existence of that beetle, although he can't know what it is doing now, but he can be sure that the sapphire is living a good life now, strong and strong, and there is no need for Shao Xuan to worry too much.
After talking for a long time, Jiju realized that the tribesmen were not necessarily interested in slavery and slavery, and many tribesmen were generally more xenophobic, especially those of large tribes.
"You tribesmen just have a lot of things. By the way, which tribe are you from?" Jiju had forgotten to ask Shao Xuan this question.
"The Flamehorn Tribe. Shao Xuan said. On the way to accompany Jiju on this journey, he heard Jiju say some things about the tribesmen, one of which mentioned Yanjiao, but not much, Jiju has a limited understanding of the Yanjiao tribe, it is not hostile, but the impression is not very good. Anyway, when he heard Jiju mention the Yanjiao tribe, Shao Xuan was very happy.
"Which one?!" Hearing Shao Xuan's answer, Ji Ju couldn't wait to pluck out his ears.
"Flame Horn. Shao Xuan said solemnly.
“...... Give me back the thousand grains!" Jiju stretched out his hand to grab it, "Aren't you Yanjiao people hunting?, how can you take good care of this thousand grains?!"
Although the people of the Yanjiao tribe go to the royal city less, but once or twice can make people remember, in the impression of Jiju, the Yanjiao people are strong, a person can hold a few bears and play with them, and the character is rude and fierce, every time the Yanjiao people go to the royal city, they can always beat a few nobles, and they are listed as refusal objects by the six nobles at the same time. However, the Yanjiao people have indeed come out less over the years, and the last time Jiju saw the Yanjiao people was when he was young, and the younger generation may not have seen them now.
"We Yanjiao people can also farm!" Shao Xuan argued. There have been many planting things recorded in the history of Yanjiao, and it is impossible to plant even a single piece of land.
"it!"
Jiju regrets it very much now, but it's a pity that he can't get back the grains he gave out.
After a failed robbery, Jiju also gave up, but fortunately, his current focus is not here, he has to go back quickly, and then bring people back to dig up those thousand golden plants, Wangcheng is not close to here.
didn't go any further, and Jiju was separated from Shao Xuan.
"By the way, do you always remember where the Yanjiao tribe is?" asked Shao Xuan before parting.
"What, lost?" Jiju gloated and laughed, but he really didn't know the exact location of the Yanjiao tribe, "I only know that it is deep in the mountains and forests, it should be a little far from here, you can find it yourself." (To be continued......)
