Chapter 53 Mirror Tieshan (9)

"Don't you really want to live a life without killing?"

Han Jiu asked with a frown, and pointed to the world to the east and said, "In the center of the Tang Dynasty, people's lives are like this. Except for some people who protect everyone and do not need to work, the rest of the people farm and feed, and then get married and have children, giving the elderly a good old age, so that they don't need to work hard for a little bit. When the children at home grow up, the women's family will prepare dowry for her. Because there is no dowry, they will be looked down upon by the man, and at the same time they will prepare dowry for their son. When they get old, they will get married, and then those who can study and those who cannot study will farm well. The ancestral hall at home has also been established, and they are all from their ancestors and will never be forgotten. But here, do you still remember who your ancestors are?"

Every family has smoke and every day is dull.

The idea of ​​Rao in the past was very simple, and life was also simple, but such a life was life, ordinary people were the truth, and the stimulation of the strong wind was just a kind of formality.

In the frontier, such a life is impossible. Many tribes need to experience too many things in their lifetime, such as strong winds, heavy rains, heavy snow, hail, droughts, wolves, horse thieves, exploitation from above, resistance from below, etc. Countless unlucky things will follow one after another. Although such things are also happening in the Central Plains, there are relatively fewer ones, because everyone has a set of etiquette here to rely on, which can make everyone have a little face.

After a while, Han Jiu continued, "We need to do this. What we need is not only cattle and sheep, but also pastures. There are also many things we need, because there are many people here that need to be raised. We can't rely on robbery. Why did you go out this time? It's not because of other things, but because the governor has found a good business for everyone. At that time, Suzhou and Ganzhou can live on this camp, and there may be no need to go to the battlefield in the future. Of course, protecting this business from being stolen is still necessary to fight to the death with a sword, but most people don't need to fight to the death. Isn't that a good thing?"

"But this kind of thing is difficult at the beginning, just like a pasture, either at the beginning, it is a pasture, and it takes a long time to pull out some poisonous weeds and make them smooth. This business is also very troublesome at the beginning, and the biggest trouble is manpower, so you need to go out and help. If you can't even talk about this, then why can you get a good life in the future?"

Han Jiu's words hit these Raoxin directly like a sledgehammer. Yes, everything can be obtained at will, and nothing needs to be paid. If you know, you can list it. Unfortunately, in this world, you often pay a lot of things but you can't get anything, just like the things they used to. Many times, they participated in the robbery, but later it would be nice to have some bones for you to gnaw. If you want meat, what do you think?

Although the same is true now, what is in the bowl, what is meat, what is in the hand, and big cakes. Although they are all made of mixed grains, these things were for the big people in the past, and I could see them at most.

Although Yarur had some thoughts in his mind, he really couldn't figure out what kind of business he needed to do this?

"Is it a slave who is a sir?"

His words have been recognized a lot, because the transaction of slaves has been countless times since ancient times. From the time he sold himself, to now, people have gradually begun to seize some people to act as slaves. Even tribes, whether large or large, have slaves, but not as we see now.

People nowadays see that some tribes are very safe and clean, not because they were like this in the past, but because our ancestors spent a lot of time on transformation. If you rely solely on the inheritance of the past, then what you see is the most terrifying thing in the world, and this is reality.

Therefore, many times, wars occur between tribes, not to really not be able to survive, but perhaps to the other party’s population, that is, slaves. From a slave to a normal person, there is no chance, but there is only a few chances, because once you become a slave, you will find that no matter who becomes your master, you are a slave, and there is no way to change it.

“Yes, not.”

Han Jiu pretended to be profound and authentic, which made everyone unbearable. What does your words mean? Yes, no, no, what is yes, no, no.

"We are actually saving them."

Han Jiu's words are very vague, but they also make people feel a bit weird. You took away a tribe's people, but now you want to save them. Are you too shameless?

It seemed that the people around him didn't believe it very much. Han Jiu continued, "We all know that there are slaves in the tribe, and no matter who they go to in the future, these slaves will become slaves, right?"

Looking at the other nods, he continued, "But there are no slaves in my Tang Dynasty, only slaves, so these Ran Shi will not be slaves, but normal people. However, these people cannot be allowed to become normal people directly. They need to do something."

"What about those who are not slaves?"

Yarur continued to ask, maybe more than 50% of them were slaves, but what about the others, were those people the same? They were not.

"When something happens, we don't have enough time to see if this is good or not. However, people who can turn other people into slaves are not good people. So, what they need to do is to atone for their sins, so they cannot be able to become normal in a short period of time."

"But what the hell is it? It takes so many slaves?"

"I don't know about this yet, but it should be a result soon. After all, it is not cheap to support these people. The court does not have so much energy to do these things."

In the Suzhou Governor's Mansion, the sun shines on the high steps. Although the doorman at the door is in tattered clothes, he feels like standing there. Such people are usually yamen runners or the like.

In the living room, Tan Yan looked at the information in her hand and frowned at Ye Tan and asked, "Marty, there are a total of two thousand people in the tribe, 1,050 slaves, 300 elderly people, 200 children, 100 women, and strong men..."

He slowly pulled out the number, then looked at the other party with a little trembling palm and asked, "Why is this?"

The people in the tribes outside these cities are sometimes scattered tribes, but some are not, but some people outside the territory. These people may not be from the Tang Dynasty, but Ye Tan directly sent someone to rob the tribe, which is a bit too much. Although the Tang Dynasty is still quite poor now, it has never been heard of this way since ancient times to expand its population.

"For someone."

Ye Tan took a sip of tea and smiled authentically.

"But there are quite a few savages outside. Why do you have to treat these people? Some of them may be Tuyuhun and others. If you are known, the pressure will be great at Yumenguan."

This is also a funny joke. Logically, the land within Yumen Pass belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and there should not be people from outside. But in fact, the Qilian Mountains cannot stop these. For example, there are also large grasslands outside Songzhou, but it is shared by Tubo and Songzhou. Because of Li Shimin's foreign policy, Songzhou cannot do something. Because of this, many times, many things cannot be received in their own hands. Some of the land and things there should be from the Tang Dynasty. This is Ye Tan's attitude. What are the two places that share? This world

There is nothing so-called "you eat a bite, I eat a bite". There is peace of life between countries, but it definitely does not exist in his memory. So once this happens, he will take back this place and then oppress the Tubo people to go back. It is best to go west because although the snow-capped mountains have a plateau climate, it is really good in many aspects, especially the water veins there are abundant and the environment is elegant. Although there are no big trees on the grassland, once you go to Tubo, you will find that there are still many big trees, lush and lush, looking pity.

"Don't worry about this for the time being."

Ye Tan said without caring about it, "It's just that these people are not enough."

Ye Tan's words were to continue, but although Ye Tan helped him take down the governor, his human selfishness and other reasons made him a little scared and he couldn't help but ask, "Ye Hou, we can't afford to support so many people."

"Don't worry, this is just one aspect, and something else will arrive soon."

"Master Qibing, Li Sheng, the head of the Li family, is here."

Just when Tan Yan was in a big head, someone came to report.

"Come in quickly."

Because Li Sheng participated in this counter-rebellion, his status in Suzhou was transcendent, of course, and it was also very embarrassing. Because many people thought it was because of him that many people were unlucky in the end. However, in the big family, if there were not a few enemies, you would not do your job well.

"I have met the governor and the Marquis of Ye."

Li Sheng was dressed in simple clothes and had a good beard. It seemed that he was really turning to the angle of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of thing was really good.

"Sit down, come and have tea."

Ye Tan is like a governor here, so Li Sheng is not unhappy about his words.

But Tan Yan scratched her head a little and asked, "What's going on with this?"

He really didn't know that Li Sheng came here to establish a good relationship with him, because there was no need. There were not many large families left in Suzhou now, and there were not many families. Other families either killed them all or were very obedient.

"The reason I came to the head of the Li family is to ask you something."

Ye Tan did not answer, but looked at the other party and said.

"I don't know what it is?"

Li Sheng asked strangely, although they did not do many things so openly, they were actually quite capable.

"How many people in your family are there except those who are regular guards?"

Ye Tan's words made Li Sheng's heart tremble. Why do you ask this question? Is there something wrong?

Ye Tan wanted to know what he planned, so he continued, "Think about it before you."

"This?" Li Sheng was a little embarrassed because although he helped them kill several families before, the vitality of the large family in Suzhou still existed, perhaps only 50% or 60% of the previous ones, but it is still a large force. Once exposed, the problem will be more serious.

"Think about it before you."

Ye Tan is not a patient person, because many things always make people crazy, and these people are a bit clumsy in his opinion. It is their blessing to be able to come here. It is a bit ridiculous to still be playing with this kind of thought at this time.

"In addition to regular escorts, there are more than a thousand people in our family."

Li Sheng came up with an ambiguous answer. Anyway, you won’t search for specific details, right?

But Tan Yan thought to himself, "Didn't you hand over everyone to Hou Junji?" How could there be any more? If Ye Tan asked you now, would you not be able to do it? If not, what should I do if something happens? Could it be that I am your slave again? Do you just like to do this?" But he was also wondering why Li Sheng told Ye Tan so directly. After all, this matter is not a problem.

"Where are them?"

Ye Tan picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, asking, feeling very quiet.

"It should be the same number."

Li Sheng asked gingerly. He had seen the battle that Ye Tan had participated in before, and he was simply not a human being. If he had put it in the past, he would have been a god. If such a person really put his heart into it, the consequences would be worrying, so he would be like this.

"Can these people be used?"

Ye Tan's words made the other party widen their eyes. What's going on? Now we have already given you a lot of people, why do you want them again?

As if he felt the other person’s thoughts, Ye Tan put down the tea bowl, stared at the other person, and said word by word, “It’s hired, rewarded.”

"Ah?" I heard from the first time that the government hired people from the people and then paid back the money. Are you confused?

"Ye Hou, what do you mean?"
