"Get up, get up, you bastards, don't even look at what time it is now, hurry up and go out to work. If something goes wrong with Mr. Tusi's livestock, you will be the livestock from now on."
Li Xiang's residence was pretty good, on the second floor of the Tusi Official Village, but not long after he fell asleep, he heard noises outside.
It turns out that according to the rules of the chieftain, the slaves on the first floor have to go out to work. Li Xiang looked at all this with some surprise from the window. You must know that it is equivalent to about three o'clock in the morning, and you have to get up at this time to work.
Living, there is not much time to sleep at all.
Li Xiang had heard the story about the rooster crowing in the middle of the night, but he didn't expect to encounter it today. The life of the people in the Tang Dynasty was not good, but he had never heard of people getting up to work at three o'clock.
When Li Xiang was studying in the past, he knew that the plateau was still in a slave society. These slaves had no guarantee of life at all. If the chieftain was happy, he could kill them at any time for fun. As for whether they slept or not, the chieftain had no idea.
Just ignore that.
Just when Li Xiang was thinking about the problem, the sound of whips was heard below. No one could get up at this point, so those in charge could only use whips to speak. Many people came out crying and howling. Anyway,
The toast master sleeping on the third floor cannot hear it, and for many toast masters, this sound is extremely beautiful. When they hear this sound, they know that they are making money for themselves.
"Master, look over there."
Lin Yi didn't know when he came to Li Xiang's side. He followed his finger and looked over. There were dark crowds everywhere outside the official village. These people were relatively lucky, at least they could still live inside. More
People can only live outside. In winter, countless people freeze to death in one night.
There must be at least thousands of people outside. These people are all direct slaves of the toast master. Now they have to go to work in the fields and work until sunset. From here to the toast master's field, the furthest distance has to be two hours' walk.
.
If you don't get up to work at this time, I'm afraid you will lose too much time in the day, so you can only start from the rest time of these people. This method has been going on for hundreds of years, and the local people have not felt it.
There's something wrong.
"The people who can live in it are not ordinary people. They are all slaves of two to three generations or more. If they are the slaves who just came here, they can only live outside the official village. It is said that they have also made a list for this.
If a slave inside dies, then someone from the outside can come in. Otherwise, the chieftain is showing mercy, and the quota of who is allowed to come in is also very important."
Every time he saw this situation, Xiao Liuzi felt that his life was better. If he had not been picked up by the Cui family, he would now be one of these slaves. When he usually walks outside, he sees
When he saw these people, he felt very sad, but he was just an ordinary citizen and couldn't care about that much.
"Let's all go to bed. There are still things to do tomorrow."
Li Xiang is not a holy mother, but after seeing this scene in front of him, Li Xiang also had an idea in his heart. The Tubo Kingdom is now extremely powerful. Even after this civil strife, it may have the ability to be sad enough, but if these slaves are liberated
If so, their number would be much greater than these slave owners, and by then the Tubo Kingdom might be able to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, all this must be done properly. At least it can't be done yet. Li Xiang just has a plan in his mind. As for whether it can be realized in the future, that will be a matter of a few years. Now he has to find a way to attract more
people went into the water, which strengthened the strength of the rebels.
These people slept until midnight, and no one called Mai Qi Tusi. He just asked people to put food at the door. He also knew that these people came from Han Dynasty and suffered a lot of hardships along the way.
The most important thing is that Chief Maiqi is very busy now. Taiyang has discussed a general direction from Li Xiang, so more people must be brought over. He even has another idea, which is to overthrow Songtsen Qian.
Under Bu's rule, perhaps he could also ascend to that position.
In the past, they made trouble just to protect their rights. Now even people from the Tang Dynasty have participated, and they can support themselves with two boxes of gold every month. This is a lot of support. If
If you can use it properly, a new look can only be seen before your eyes.
"Master, everything is ready."
Li Xiang heard Long Wu's voice in a daze. Long Wu had taken people out early in the morning.
Li Xiang already talked about salt and iron yesterday, so today we have to let these people see the real thing.
Li Xiang took out the things from the system, and then asked Long Wu to take the people around in a big circle. They are now on the way to Guanzhai.
"It's not easy to do anything these days. This is the first time I give first and then get something."
Li Xiang shook his neck and moved to a different place to sleep. He didn't sleep well. Maybe it was because of the high altitude. He always felt suffocated while sleeping.
These people around me have been following Li Xiang for a long time, so they naturally know what Li Xiang means. No matter who cooperates with us, you must first show your sincerity. Now, it is us who show our sincerity first.
Of course, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, we urgently need this opportunity. This may be the only opportunity to weaken the Tubo Kingdom in the past ten years.
There may be other opportunities, but we may have to pay more. Now we only need to pay part of the materials to keep Maiqi Toast and several surrounding toasts alive. They will also drag other toasts into trouble, causing turmoil.
The bigger it is, the weaker the Tubo Kingdom will be.
"Dear young master, are you up? Our chieftain is already waiting for you in the living room."
After there was a movement in Li Xiang's room, the housekeeper came over to talk. Li Xiang could guarantee that this guy had been waiting nearby, but he didn't hear the movement in the room, so he didn't dare to speak. The hierarchy on the plateau is very strict.
Since Li Xiang has already shown his identity, he is a more valuable person than their chieftain, so these people dare not make any mistakes.
"Please inform Chief Mai Qi, I'll be there soon."
Yesterday we just had a general direction, and today we will have a detailed discussion on some specific figures. If the talks are successful, maybe a new storm will come.
