Chapter 41 I didn't mean to

------First of all, I wish you good luck! The Seven Fairies and Dong Yonglai have come to you for support! Without your support, it would be difficult for our husband and wife to reunite, and a happy life would be even more out of reach. No one knows our suffering without clicking, we have to sleep on the street without collection, we are black accounts without recommendation, we are Diao people without evaluation, we can't afford breakfast without rewards, we have to be hungry without subscriptions, and we can't afford to take the bus without a monthly pass. Ask for support------

Almost a year passed quickly.

Time can talk about everything, even if the three wives of King Xu and Xu Xian, the king of Xu and the king of Xu Xian (actually the queen), Ji Meili, Ji Yanli, and Ji Jiaoli, had happy news at the same time spread all over the world. At that time, people everywhere in the world were stunned by the news that the three wives (actually queens) of the king of Xu Kingdom, Xu Wang, and Xu Xian, Ji Meili, Ji Yanli, and Ji Jiaoli were happy at the same time. Now it's in the past.

Although even the fact that the three wives of King Xu and Xu Xian (actually the queen) Ji Meili, Ji Yanli, and Ji Jiali were happy at the same time was occasionally mentioned, the people who heard it were still full of incredible expressions.

But it is impossible for people to talk about the three wives of King Xu Guo, King Xu Xu Xian (actually the queen) Ji Meili, Ji Yanli, and Ji Jiaoli at the same time, isn't it?

King Xu of the Kingdom of Xu and King Xu Xian also went to the mountains again to relive the life in the mountains before.

Today's harvest was quite abundant, with a total of ...... of pheasants, hares, wild sheep, wild deer, and wild boars.

Therefore, Xu Xian decided to call it a day early and return to Xudu, the location of King Xu's palace.

When Xu Wang Xu Xian and his party were still preparing to return to Xudu, the location of King Xu's palace, after all, those captured trophies also needed time to be tied up well, so that they could be easily brought back to Xudu, where King Xu's palace was located.

At this time, Ji Honghong, the guard of Xu Xian, who had been sent by Yin Ji Xiaonan of the State Palace to report the good news and reported the good news to Xu Xian's wife, was in a hurry again.

Ji Honghong was running in a hurry, but suddenly thought of something .......

So Ji Honghong began to slowly walk towards Xu Guo, King Xu and Xu Xian.

Ji Honghong's current walking speed can no longer be described as slow.

Ji Honghong's current walking speed can't even be described as slow.

If Ji Honghong's current walking speed really needs to be described by an adjective, that adjective must be slow Teng Sili (slow and reasonable; slow and unhurried); Ji Honghong's current walking speed is simply to compete with a snail!

The king of Xu, the king of Xu, Xu Xian, had brought many guards to the mountain to carry out the capture activities before, and they had already tied up the captured booty and could return to the Xu capital, where the palace of King Xu was located.

But how about it, it is also necessary for Ji Honghong to report the matter to Xu Xian, and then return to the location of King Xu's palace together, Xu Du?

No matter how tight the time is, it's not bad for a while, isn't it?

Under the attention of Xu Guo's king, Xu Wang, Xu Xian, and the many guards who followed Xu Xian to the mountain to carry out capture activities, Ji Honghong walked towards Xu Guo's king, Xu Wang, and Xu Xian in small steps.

A big man walks in broken steps like a woman walking, and the scene is indescribably funny!

......。

When Xu Xian, the king of Xu Guo, and the many guards who followed Xu Xian to the mountain for capture activities couldn't help but laugh, Ji Honghong finally lived up to expectations and walked to Xu Xian.

When he arrived at the king of Xu Guo, Xu Wang Xu Xian, Ji Honghong, the official who was in charge of managing the personnel who served Xu Xian's wife, and Ji Honghong, the guard of Xu Xian, who had been sent by Yin Ji Xiaonan of the State Palace to report the good news once, knelt down on one knee, and then Ji Honghong took a deep breath before he spoke: "King Qiqi, great joy!"

After a pause, Ji Honghong almost subconsciously clenched his fists, and then continued to report, "The queen has given birth to a little prince." ”

"Hehehe....... A feeling called happiness made Xu Xian, the king of Xu Kingdom, completely complete, without the prestige of the aristocratic lord who had been cultivated with great difficulty over the years, Xu Xian smirked like a fool.

Those guards of the king of Xu Guo, Xu Wang and Xu Xian were also very, very happy.

This is naturally because since the Zhou Dynasty, the co-ruler of the world at that time, arranged the household registration of these guards and their families in Xu State, the future of these guards was completely linked to Xu State. If Xu Guo disappears, no matter what the reason is, and no matter how these guards explain it, these guards can easily be regarded as "slaves of the country" by people in other countries.

When it comes to slaves, slaves have to be mentioned.

A slave is a person who works for the slave owner and has no personal freedom, and can be killed or bought and sold by the slave owner at will;

2. A person who is completely subject to the influence of some kind of dominant force;

There are many sources of slaves.

First, defeat and slavery. In particular, the slaves of Shang and Western Zhou probably came from these people. It can be seen from the oracle bone inscriptions of Yinxu and the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou Dynasty that both the Shang and Zhou dynasties, as well as their rival states and tribes, sought to capture prisoners of war and plunder the population of the opposing side during military operations. A large number of captives obtained by the Shang nobles, such as the Qiang and Yi people, were used as human sacrifice and some were reduced to slavery. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the phenomenon of murder and sacrifice was greatly reduced, and the proportion of captives used as slaves increased significantly. In the war of conquest of a certain Fang country recorded in the inscription of Xiaoyu Ding in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people captured more than 3,800 heads and captured 13,811 people. There are many records of captives in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, a large number of young and middle-aged people in the defeated countries died in battle, and the "Wei Yizi Wu Yi" accused those who used troops to attack people "to kill fathers and brothers, to benefit people's goods and property, and to concubines and concubines' children". Slaves were often referred to as "captives". However, during the Warring States period, the number of slaves from other sources increased dramatically, and the importance of captives as a source of slaves was not as prominent as in the past.

Second, the methods of the conquerors of the slave society towards the conquered countries or tribes were more complicated. Judging from the historical materials of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the rulers often made those who were originally skilled in warfare such as archery and imperial defense among the conquered people to serve them as "ministers" and "servants" who served them militarily, and made those who were originally engaged in agricultural labor become "mediocre" people who cultivated land for them; at the same time, they not only allowed such ministers, servants, or mediocre people to have families, but also allowed them to live together in large numbers. Whether or not they should be considered slaves is up for debate.

The third is the sinners and their families. Since the Shang Dynasty, there has been a system of punishing some criminals (usually those whose crimes are not minor but not sufficient for the death penalty) and the families of those who have committed capital crimes and other more serious crimes as official slaves. The family members of the Western Zhou criminals who were not official slaves (or the thieves punished them as official slaves)

Men became the sinful subordinates under the control of the priests, and women were engaged in labor such as rice cooking. During the Warring States Period, there were a large number of prisoners who were punished for crimes (such as the punishment of removing the sideburns, the punishment of the hair, and the corporal punishment of whales, slashes, slashes, palaces, etc.) and were punished for public service, such as the prisoners of the Qin State, including the names of subordinates, concubines, ghost salaries, white rice, chengdan, and gong. In the past, it was generally believed that convicts had a time limit for their service, so some people doubted whether they could be considered official slaves. According to the research of some scholars in modern times, convicts such as subordinate concubines served indefinitely before Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty implemented the system of "exempting sinners for a few years" (but the "more subordinate concubines" mentioned by Qin Law may only serve part of the time in the public service, which is a special situation). Indefinite sentences should undoubtedly be seen as slaves of the state. However, before the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the difference in their original identity and work after becoming a criminal slave, the specific situation can be very different. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, some nobles were "relegated to the soap subordination" because of their crimes, and they generally had their own family and secular positions, and their status was close to that of low-level officials, so there was room for discussion as to whether they should be regarded as slaves.

Fourth, bankruptcy and sale. Since the beginning of the Warring States period, there have been a large number of poor people or other bankrupts selling their wives and children into slavery. Sometimes they resort to the method of redundancy, that is, they use their wives and children as collateral for debts, and if they cannot repay their debts when they expire, they are confiscated as slaves by their creditors. If a son who is used as collateral is recruited as a son-in-law by the creditor's family, he becomes a son-in-law. During the Warring States period, the status of the son-in-law was very low, similar to that of a slave. The phenomenon of self-selling into slavery also existed during the Warring States period. The above-mentioned slaves can basically be regarded as debt slaves.

Fifth, the children of slaves are still slaves under normal circumstances.

In addition, such phenomena as coercion, abduction, and even the sale of people into slavery also exist.

The original explanation of the slave society is that in the slave society, the vast majority of the original inhabitants of the destroyed country would be used as slaves by the country that won the war, so it was called the slave of the dead country.

If Xu Xian, the king of Xu State, really has no descendants, it is still possible that Xu Guo will be abolished by the Zhou Dynasty, the co-ruler of the world at that time, after all, compared to appointing someone who has nothing to do with Xu Wang Xu Xian, the king of Xu State, to Xu Guo to become the new King of Xu. The direct abolition of the Xu State can still be reluctantly accepted by other princes, at least no one will think that the Zhou Dynasty, the co-ruler of the world at that time, did something behind it. But no matter how the Zhou Dynasty, the co-ruler of the world at that time, dealt with this matter, the king of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, Zhou Lingwang Ji Jiji, was always a little unsightly.

There is always something unsightly on the face, and the king of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Ling, the king of the Zhou Dynasty at that time, will Ji Jiji be very, very angry in his heart?"

At that time, would the king of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Ling, and Ji Jiji, the king of the Zhou Dynasty, demote the vast majority of the people of the Xu Kingdom to slaves in order to take a breath (is this a slave of the dead country?)?

However, as long as the king of Xu State, Xu Wang Xu Xian, has descendants, Xu Guo can continue, and they are not at risk of becoming slaves in vain.

At this moment, all the many Xu Immortal guards present were overjoyed.

I don't know which of Xu Xian's guards was the first to say hello, and soon many Xu Xian's guards rushed to say hello to Xu Xian.

"Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King......"

"Xu Guo's national fortune is Yongchang, thousands of generations!"

“......”

The atmosphere at the scene was indescribably festive and lively.

......。

The atmosphere at the scene was slightly calm, and Xu Xian, the king of Xu Guo, planned to return to Xu Capital, where King Xu's palace was located, as soon as he gave an order.

Who knows what the way is?

Ji Honghong, the guard of Xu Xian, who was sent by Yin Ji Xiaonan of Xu Guogong to report the good news once, actually knelt there and did not get up.

What's wrong?

Everyone else present was a little unnatural.

Or Xu Xian, the king of Xu Guo, reacted faster, Xu Xian saw Ji Honghong's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, and suddenly remembered Ji Honghong's last good news, so Xu Guo, the king of Xu Guo, Xu Wang Xu Xian asked Ji Honghong casually: "Did the three queens give birth together?"

"Ah......!" Ji Honghong, the guard of Xu Xian, who was sent by Yin Ji Xiaonan of Xu Guogong to report the good news once, was stunned and subconsciously replied: "The king knows the way!"

"Oops......"

"Oops...... Oops"

"Oops......

Oops...... Oops"

This is the guards of the king of Xu Guo Xu Xian who entered a state of shock because they heard the news that "the three queens of Xu King Xu Xian gave birth together", and unconsciously relaxed their hands on the captured beasts that were bound to the good ones, and as a result, the captured beasts that were bound to the good ones fell to the ground naturally, and the captured beasts that were bound to the good ones smashed on the feet of others, because the people who were smashed on the feet of the captured beasts who were bound to the good ones howled involuntarily.

However, these howling people only began to howl once or twice, and then they immersed themselves in the thinking that "the three queens (of King Xu Guo, King Xu and Xu Xian) gave birth together".

"Is that true? No??......。 This is the idea in the minds of most people on the scene.

The others present didn't notice it (of course, they didn't have the spirit to pay attention for the time being), and Ji Honghong, the guard of Xu King Xu Xian, who was sent by Yin Ji Xiaonan of Xu Guo Palace to report the good news once, said something in his mouth: "I didn't mean to ......." ”

What's wrong with it?
