On that day, in addition to the thousand soldiers around Han Xin, the elite troops of the headquarters, led by Jia Gu, headed north in a mighty manner. They would capture cities one after another along the way.

And those troops who had only been reorganized since the expedition returned, carrying their own expectations and dreaming for themselves.

Han Xin, on the other hand, issued orders in the name of Jiagu and called himself the governor of Surabaya.

The Han State continued some of the systems of the Qin State. The chiefs of counties were called county guards, while the Chu State called them by their appearance.

Although this Sishui County Sheriff is a bit funny, he has a lot of plans, and he only manages a city father who has just been conquered, with a population of more than 300,000...

On the first day, Han Xin ordered people to inventory the granaries and announced that all those who had paid taxes could come forward to receive equal amounts of grain.

As soon as this order came out, everyone in the city was displeased, and it even spread to surrounding counties at a faster speed.

For a time, the surrounding people were looking forward to the Han army coming to rescue them soon.

It's not easy for the people of Chu State either, and the nobles are still the huge boulder weighing on their heads.

In the late Qin Dynasty, the nobles revived, and their rise in Chu was much faster and more powerful than elsewhere.

Ordinary people simply have no capital to resist.

The next day, Han Xin announced the laws of Han Dynasty.

On the third day, Han Xin waited for the first batch of returning soldiers.

And this is a huge surprise.

"General, after someone outside the city heard about the general's recruitment of soldiers, some people gathered and wanted to defect." The soldiers came to Han Xin and said.

"How many people are there?" Han Xin asked.

"About a thousand people!"

"Thousands of people?" Han Xin frowned slightly.

If you say it with spit and nail, he will naturally admit it.

But he didn't expect that the first person to attract thousands of people was not the subordinates he recruited, but an ordinary person who heard the news.

This surprised Han Xin, but since everyone was here, there was no reason to refuse.

"How are the personnel?" Han Xin then asked.

"I feel pretty good. There are no obvious problems to my eyes. I am all thin and have dark skin..."

wanted!

When he heard the descriptions of thin body and dark skin, Han Xin decided to recruit these people.

There are no other reasons. Being thin means that you are not from a wealthy family, and having dark skin means that you are often exposed to the sun.

To put it simply, 90% of these people are farmers who often don’t have enough to eat.

Now that we have such an opportunity, everyone starts to have ideas.

This kind of person is the best to control and the best to surrender.

"Bring the leader here and arrange for the brothers to inspect the troops!" Han Xin ordered directly.

"promise!"

Han Xin is still full of expectations for the future.

Although the elite soldiers are gone, there is still no chance.

His personal soldiers are still there, and after these people arrive, they will not leave immediately.

First, they had to wait for weapons in Chengfu.

Yes, Han Xin did not take away too many weapons from the cities captured along the way, and weapons from various places were also retained for the use of recruiting soldiers from various places.

After receiving Wang Buxu's secret order, Han Xin asked his scouts to speed up and tell Wang Buxu that he needed to replenish weapons to form a new army to complete the mission.

And these weapons will be transported from the territory of Han.

No matter how fast the speed is, it will take about twenty days to come and go, plus the time for transfer.

And these twenty days were the time Han Xin used to train his troops.

As for the mission, I can only put it aside for the time being. I don’t have any weapons. How about a fart?

After a short time, the leader was ushered in.

Han Xin subconsciously looked at the other person. He was about seven and a half feet tall. Although he was thin, he looked somewhat capable. Especially his eyes, which made him look like a person with a story.

When he saw this man, Han Xin had no doubt that he could attract a thousand people.

"Why do strong men come to join the army?" Han Xin asked, kneeling behind the table.

"Besides joining the army, we have no other place to go..."

"Oh?" Han Xin asked, pretending not to know.

"What the general doesn't know is that we are all their slaves. Even if we can hold an official position, it is just a higher status than other slaves. Our sons, grandsons, and descendants will always be our slaves."

We are slaves. We work hard every year in farming, but we can still barely survive. We work hard on the battlefield, and the most we can do is stutter. If we follow the Han army in the war, we can even imagine what it would be like to live like ordinary people.

, and the general said that if you bring four people, you will become a team leader, and if you bring a thousand people, you will become a thousand people, so we decided to give it a try..."

Han Xin nodded. He couldn't find any problem with this reason.

Although the Qin Dynasty was the beginning of feudal society, slavery still did not exit the stage of history in this era.

Even in the following hundreds of years, it could not completely withdraw from the stage of history.

For those who really can't survive, becoming a slave may be a way to survive.

"Aren't you afraid that they will arrest your family?" Han Xin asked. He knew that these people were not from Chengfu, but from the intersection of Chengfu, Xiachengfu and Zhi County.

It is not known which county it belongs to, but it comes from the center of this iron triangle.

"Don't be afraid! We are not the only slaves in the Chu army. There are about a thousand more slaves in the Chu army. They will take care of our children!"

"What's the last name of a strong man?" Han Xin smiled slightly, but he didn't expect these people to be quite smart.

Come to part of the way to open the way, and leave some to look after the house. If the Han army attacks in the future, those who remain can be used as internal agents to pick them up when the time comes, and at the same time they can achieve a military exploit.

Han Xin didn't object to this kind of cleverness, but he was afraid of people who didn't know how to use their cleverness.

"one!"

"Single?" Han Xin nodded. There are many people with only one character in their names, so there is nothing surprising.

"When I was young, there was only one person left in the family, so I changed my name to Shan..." Shan explained.

Judging from his age, he was around the time of Qin Zhengchu's first war when he was young, and as a slave, any outcome would not be surprising.

Whether a slave is happy or not depends on the slave owner's efforts and willingness to invest.

A slave who is happier can probably have a wife and family of his own, but there is no such thing as a slave who is not lucky enough.

If the baby is a girl, some people feel that the number of female slaves in the family is enough, and in order to avoid wasting food, they simply get rid of them and leave only the baby boy.

And this kind of slave wants a family?

It's simply funny.

What is their operating model like?

Female slaves and male slaves live separately. In order to stimulate the male slaves to work hard, the female slaves are used as rewards. The male slaves who work best can enjoy the female slaves once. Of course, it is not prescribed, but it is up to you.

The kind you pick.

And if a female slave is pregnant, she doesn't know whose child she is.

Therefore, under this model, most children follow female slaves. When they are able to work, they are taken out to start their life as slaves.

Shan's ancestor's fate was pretty good, and he was able to have a family of his own, but this family was also lost when he was young, and now Shan's children are also slaves.
