As soon as the patriarchs of the tribes spoke, the scene was lively, and everyone had not dared to speak all the time, and at this moment the voices were very loud, and they were red-faced. The actions of the Youyu clan today also made the tribes feel frightened, and they felt not only angry, but also deeply afraid. Of course, they all want to punish Yucun severely, but the dispute is about different ways to deal with it - whether or not to kill many people?

There are a few small tribes who have suffered a big loss in the battle of Yanjing a few years ago, and several clansmen died in the fight, if it weren't for the mountain lord who called the various tribes to discuss back then, they would have been forced out of the central valley by Youyu Village, so at this moment, they should do what the king envoy said, and destroy the Youyu clan.

Although this was too ruthless, wasn't Youyu Village even more ruthless before, and even wanted to destroy Lu Village and Huahai Village, since this was the case, don't blame others for using the same means to deal with them. In the wilderness primitive tribes, everyone lives and works together, and the products are collected and distributed in a unified manner, so in their concept, everything that is done in the name of the entire tribe will of course be borne by the whole clan.

But there are also many clansmen who disagree, because the mountain master has already said that killing so many people on the day of the alliance and cutting off all the most populous and wealthy tribes in the wilderness is not only a bad omen, but also a loss for the alliance. If they are gone, everyone will not be able to eat such delicious fish as they are today. But Yu Da Shell and several principals must die, even if it is to pay for the lives of the casualties in Lu Village and Huahai Village, they must not be let go anyway.

Everyone quarreled for a long time, but they still didn't reach a consensus, and in the end they still had to ask the mountain master to decide.

Wakayama looked at the people of Yuyu Village who were kneeling and pleading in front of him. In addition to the 100 soldiers, there are more than 200 clansmen in the Central Valley today. Their eyes were full of sadness and despair, looking forward to the mountain master to give him a glimmer of life. Ruoshan muttered, "I have heard the words of the patriarchs. The most important question now is that most of the people in Youyu Village know about the attack on Lu Village and Huahai Village?

Everyone is right, welcoming the envoy and inviting all the tribes to agree on an alliance, including the previous drill of the military formation for three years, and the coercion of the military formation today, is a matter of raising the clan in Youyu Village, all the clansmen participated, and they should be punished, and the person in charge should be punished heavily. But the matter of collusion with the Yu people may not be known to everyone. It needs to be verified. ”

At this time, Xiling said again: "If Lord Ruoshan can't bear to kill all the people in Youyu Village, there is another way. Identify and behead those who are in charge, and the rest of the ordinary people are worthy of these warriors to be enslaved today. ”

What is this? Most of the tribal chiefs had never heard of it, and they all asked curiously. Lord Xiling simply explained that the so-called slaves are those who work for people. Everyone was even more surprised, everyone in the deep mountain tribe had to work, and if they didn't work, they would have frozen to death and starved to death, what kind of punishment is this, and what is the difference between not being punished? How can there be such a cheap thing!

Lord Xiling had to explain further. Slaves work for their masters, and they have to do whatever they tell them to do, and the harvest does not belong to them, but is up to the masters to decide how to distribute them and what kind of food and clothing they want. Even they don't belong to themselves. Rather, it is equivalent to the owner's personal belongings, such as being able to take out the stump to exchange things with others.

The tribal leaders all understood it now, and they all felt that Lord Xiling was too smart. They were praised for coming up with such a wonderful way to punish those who had fish. Lord Xiling only felt angry and funny. What kind of cleverness is this, there has long been slavery in the five countries of Bayuan. It's just that these wild people in the mountains haven't seen it.

In fact, the ancestors of the fish clan were Li Qingshui's slaves back then, but after following Li Qing Shui to settle in another place in the wilderness, his descendants are no longer in this capacity.

......

Li Qingshui on the Shude Hill in the distance secretly let out a long sigh, he has been guarding this place for more than a hundred years as a mountain god, and now he can only watch the tribes finally come to this point. After the Qing Shui clan was wiped out, the turmoil and changes in the wilderness in this area were unprecedented in hundreds of years.

It may be because the sudden collapse of the Qingshui clan left a vacuum of interests and authority, breaking the balance and tranquility that the various clans had maintained for a long time, causing various conflicts and contentions. People learn to fight because there is something in the world that can be fought for.

The emergence of slavery originated from the losers in the competition, and it also meant that people could create more abundant goods for others to enjoy. The development of production and the abundance of life are of course a kind of progress, but desire will also be accompanied by the breeding of interests, which is the test or process that people must go through when they gradually get out of the barbaric era, and it cannot be avoided after all.

It's like when someone enters the initial realm and can cultivate, whether it's the reaction of the body or the state of mind, they must pass a certain threshold.

Li Qingshui thought about the "problem of the initial realm" that he had been thinking about for many years, why the more people who lived in a naïve and simple state, the more likely they were to enter the initial realm and cultivate under the same guidance?

The appearance of slaves, on the surface, is that some people become slaves of other people, but for Li Qingshui, who is sitting on the Shude Hill, he sees all the tribes in the deep mountains, which also means that people have become their own slaves, because of the desire caused by profits.

In any case, desire cannot disappear, and it is also the basis for people's survival and reproduction. But due to the emergence of wisdom, there has been an irreversible form of evolution. The tribes will become richer and more prosperous, which is also a trend and progress, but it will also be accompanied by many other things that may not be what everyone wants. This is not the fault of prosperity and abundance itself, but the breeding of more desires and scheming, which leads to a change in people's state of mind.

The proportion of those who can enter the initial realm and become cultivators will become smaller and smaller, but there will always be people who will succeed, and it is a kind of personal enlightenment and cultivation. It is also important to consider that prosperity and abundance will allow the tribes to multiply more people, and the proportion of those who can enter the initial state will become smaller and smaller, but the total number will not necessarily be much smaller in the larger population.

......

Without mentioning what kind of emotion or perception Qing Shui had, Xiling asked again: "Lord Ruoshan City, what do you think?"

Ruoshan muttered: "Isn't it too ...... to do this?"

Xiling hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Is it too cheap for them? Then kill them all, why bother to discuss it for so long...... In fact, I think that these fish people may not all be so insidious and vicious, and it may be useful to keep them. "The envoy's expression deliberately looked a little displeased, as if to say--you are the one who doesn't want to kill them, and now that I have given another suggestion, why are you hesitating again?

Now that it was time for the mountain master to decide life and death, the people of the fish clan couldn't help but shout one after another: "What the king envoy said is right, we are still useful...... I can fish! I can build ships...... I can weave nets, I can farm, I can build farm tools...... I will also fish out the fish fry and put them in the sea of flowers, and there will be fish in the sea of flowers in the future, and I will fish in Huahai Village...... I will make especially delicious fish and will make fish for everyone in the future...... We will dig salt wells and boil salt to make salt!"

The guard beside Lord Xiling scolded loudly: "You all stop talking, listen to how the Ruoshan City Lord decides!"

There were more than 300 people from the Youyu clan present, all of whom looked at Shanye with blank eyes, and there were nearly 600 men, women and children in Youyu Village, who were also waiting for Shanye to decide their fate. The mountain master nodded towards Xiling expressionlessly and said: "I haven't finished my words yet, there has never been a slave in the mountains in this area, if you punish them for eternity, is it too harsh?"

What does this mean, the patriarchs asked Lord Xiling one after another, and only then did they get more explanations. It turns out that "slaves" are equivalent to the private property of their masters, and if they are slaves forever, then the children they give birth to will still be the slaves of their masters, and will be the same for generations; as for themselves, of course, they will never have any hope of getting out, and they will be slaves of their masters until they die.

Lord Xiling secretly said in his heart-I didn't say that I would be a slave forever! On the surface, he deliberately frowned and said: "This is already the lightest punishment, didn't Lord Ruoshan hear the words of your patriarch?" At the same time, he muttered in his heart, this mountain master asked him to be this wicked person, but he has done too much to be a good person, and he knows the way of combining grace and power.

As soon as they heard this, the chiefs of the various tribes also shouted one after another: "Master Shan, you are too merciful! Leaving them alive is already a great gift, and of course they should be enslaved forever." ”

The mountain lord coughed, and everyone quieted down, only to see the "city lord" muttering: "I have already made a decision! The fish clan will be severely punished, the person in charge should be punished, and the rest of the people will be enslaved." But it's not for these warriors in Lulu Village and Huahai Village to be personal slaves, now that the tribes have formed an alliance, then they are the slaves of the entire tribe.

The village of Yuyu today summoned all the tribes to discuss the formation of an alliance, with the purpose of building a city in the central valley and digging and expanding the road to Pakistan. This should be discussed in advance by all the clansmen of Youyu Village, so it is up to you to bear this matter. When the castle is built and the mountain road is dug to be completed, the lord of the castle will give the fish clan the liberation of the slave body. ”

As soon as Shan Ye's words came out, it was equivalent to making a final decision. Youyu Village will raise the clan as a slave, not a personal slave of some people and become a slave of Shanshui City. The lord of Ruoshan City also gave these people a glimmer of hope, that is, after the city was completed and the mountain road was dug and expanded, they could no longer be slaves, and their descendants would not have to be slaves forever, and they would still be the people of the tribe.
