In the infant state, Yamazaki and Meidaizi are always meditating. In the eyes of ordinary people, they just eat and sleep all day long, eat after sleeping, oh, and excrete.
Because the baby's body has not grown well, this is not done on time or according to the rules. It is not something Yamazaki and Meidaizi can control. All they can do is scream a few times and let the female slave clean up the mess.
Three days later, Yamazaki and Meidaizi had not left the tent until that day when they were taken out by the female slave leader.
The atmosphere that day was very solemn, and everyone wore black.
The two guessed it was a funeral, but they guessed correctly, it was the funeral of their mother in this life, in the nearby mountains, the Atlas Mountains.
Many people came, including one who looked like a witch doctor and spoke ancient Greek. Yamazaki and Meidaizi knew it, as they were also from the church.
The funeral was a cremation. Before the ceremony, Yamazaki and Meidaizi were carried to the front to say goodbye.
She was a young woman, less than twenty years old. She could only lament that the medical conditions in this era were so poor.
After the ceremony, everyone is invited to have a meal.
The witch doctors were at the banquet, and they were accompanied by family friends. Inam, a member of the Procrus family, a strong man in his forties, should be the most prestigious among the guests.
As for why I have no relatives, I still don’t know, but I do know my family’s surname - Gelong.
The middle seats are friends of the family, there are more than thirty of them.
There were no seats, and there were hundreds of tribesmen who came to eat and drink. They had a campfire meal, which consisted of roasted lamb and barley rice, or barley porridge.
Inam asked Yamazaki and Meidaizi to sit down at the table, but the female slave leader refused. They spoke in tribal language, so they still didn't know the name of the female slave leader.
She arranged the seats and sent Yamazaki and Meidaizi back to the tent, so they didn't hear anything.
All he knew was that his slaves would not eat until the reception was over.
Mei Daizi was very dissatisfied with this. After all, her own slaves also belonged to her family. Even if she ate, her family should eat first.
Yamazaki doesn't care. With their methods, they won't be short of money in the future...
More than forty days later, it was the end of the year, and the first round of trouble came to my door: paying taxes.
The entire tribe had to pay a poll tax, a land tax, a godly tax, and a group of military horses.
I don’t know exactly what happened, but the tribe held a vote, and the result was that several wealthy families, including the patriarch’s family, all contributed more money.
The same goes for the Gron family. Because the female slave leader was embarrassed and reluctant to take money from the tent after the meeting, she took some gold coins from the box, which was about the original capital.
Mei Daizi was so angry that she couldn't grit her teeth because she didn't have any teeth yet...
512 years.
In the blink of an eye, eight months later, Yamazaki and Meidaizi were finally able to stand up and walk. A small amount of milk was added to the diet.
What the two of them were learning was the tribal language. Their learning progress was very slow, but they finally knew a little bit about listening and speaking.
As for writing, it seems that not many people in the tribe can write.
The female slave leader is called Xiwa, and there are two male slaves under her, one civil and one military, who help manage the family affairs.
Andreas, a thin old man about seventy years old, was a nobleman of Western Rome. The trophies of the Gron family when they conquered Western Rome with the army have been in the Gron family for almost sixty years.
He speaks ancient Greek and now handles paperwork at home and helps calculate accounts, but his main job is to teach his disciples.
One is Fro, a tall man in his thirties, who has many men's medals - scars on his body. He leads his family's caravan and hunting team.
Flo grew up with Yamazaki and Meidaizi's father Demetri in this life, and was the bodyguard chosen by their grandfather West in this life.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi also learned that their father Demitri died during a tribal hunting and accidentally encountered a large-scale landslide.
It was last summer, when many people died and the hunting goods were gone, so the tribe had no way to pay the tax at the end of the year and had to share it with the rich.
The wealth of the Gron family comes from West. He robbed some valuable things in Western Rome and hid them. Fortunately, they were not taken away. Later, he secretly sold them to maritime merchants and obtained a large sum of money.
Not a small fortune.
This is a bedtime legend, a family legend.
I also learned that their family name was Gron, which was taken from Gron, the Greek tyrant who ruled Syracuse thousands of years ago. They were not related by blood, but were randomly chosen for the convenience of registration after entering the kingdom.
The tribe's name is Shaka. They lived in the east of the northern Mediterranean hundreds of years ago. They migrated here decades ago. Now they have nearly a thousand households, thousands of tribesmen, and tens of thousands of slaves.
Tribal funerals, I heard that when food was in short supply, food was used according to ancient customs. Fortunately, it is no longer the case...
Flo also selected four underage juvenile escorts for Yamazaki and Meidaizi, two boys and two girls, tall Eric and short Alec, dark blond Lina and light blond Rita, composed of
He personally trained to protect the safety of Yamazaki and Meidaizi in the future.
Yamazaki had seen the slaves' combat drills and felt that there was nothing to teach them. What they were learning were actual combat killing techniques. The difference lay in personal psychology, strength and reaction. This was not a problem that could be solved by teaching.
What can be done is to increase their physical strength, which means increasing the meat in their food.
However, that requires money, and he is still young and cannot be the master of the family...
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year and I had to pay taxes again. Because the taxes were raised, the tribe was still in difficulty, so I voted again and received another subsidy.
513 years.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi were finally able to leave the 100-meter radius around the tent, but they were still unable to leave the family's territory, and were followed by eight adult guards.
If something happens to them and the family has no heirs, the tribe will take away the property and redistribute it. The fate of these slaves is uncertain.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi are not real children, so they will not mess around. They just go to the livestock to gather faith.
Use spiritual infection and charm to live in livestock. You have to carry them all the time to have faith. If you stop, there will be no faith. It is no wonder that the gods look down on animals. Because it is troublesome, it is better to use people to save the trouble.
In addition, the two of them did physical exercises, stretching their muscles and bones while they were young.
This made Xiwa very happy. How to teach her master to exercise her body obediently and learn fighting skills was a headache for her.
After all, the master is the master, they cannot force them, and if the master has no fighting power, it is too unsafe...
It was the end of the year, taxes were paid again, and the tribe was still in difficulty, so they voted again, and the money was subsidized again.
Although the clan leader took the lead, the rich people complained, but the tribe really had no choice but to admit it.
But, it can’t always go on like this?
Everyone knows this, but there is no other way but to postpone it.
At the beginning of 514, the tribe spent time in unrest, while the Gron family was happy.
Because Meidaizi couldn't bear it any longer, Yamazaki asked Shiwa to summon the slaves at home and announce the new rules.
"Master, what did you say?" Xiwa suspected that she heard Yamazaki's sudden words incorrectly.
Yamazaki said: "First, let slaves marry freely, but only to one husband and one wife."
"Second, improve the slaves' diet and add more vegetables and meat."
Siva was completely stunned. This was not what a three-year-old child should say at all.
Yamazaki said: "Don't worry about the cost of money. The first thing is to improve the strength of the family."
"As for how to tell everyone, just say what my mother meant before she was alive. Everyone is a beneficiary. Even if some people doubt it, no one will object."
"My God." Xiwa knelt down excitedly, "Thank you for giving the Gron family a wise master."...
