Chapter 43 Food shortage and slaves!

Chapter 43: Food shortage and slaves!

Yao Yun returned home with a full load and suddenly had three cute little guys in his hand. When Xingye and Xiaocao saw Yao Yun, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Majesty, what a lovely pet, you got two more cubs!"

Because Yao Yun has always been gentle, Xingye and Xiaocao are not as respectful as master and servant in front of him, especially in private they are much more natural and cordial.

When the two little girls saw the chubby panda baby in Yao Yun's hand, they immediately rushed over and touched it here and there, feeling so happy.

"What do you want to do? Stop it. I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"Your Majesty, you have three baby beasts hanging on your body. It's so hard. I will help you take care of them."

"Okay, this baby panda is named Yaoyao, and the other baby panda is named Yunyun. Here they are, just be careful!"

Xingye and Xiaocao looked surprised: "Your Majesty, you named them after your own names. This is too grand and they can't bear it!"

"It's okay, I can bear it!"

Yao Yun secretly lamented that in his previous life, he would not have had the chance to name the panda baby after himself. How could he not afford it?

"Meow!"

Erha emerged from Yao Yun's arms, his little eyes full of resentment, "My lord, you don't like me anymore, eh eh eh eh..."

Yao Yun looked at him blankly, he was indeed a ferocious beast cub, so intelligent and understanding of human nature.

"Erha, what are you looking at!"

Erha: "Meow!"

...

Life after time travel was very boring. In the next few days, Yao Yun had to focus on his cultivation. Every bit of progress during his cultivation made him overjoyed.

"Lingshan Ten Witches Heart Technique" Yao Yun has reached the level of using the power of his mind to outline the six great witches, and is currently working on outlining the seven great witches. He has made obvious progress so far. Maybe when winter comes, he will be able to reach the level of the seven great witches. Witchcraft

The gold-lettered spell and the fire-drawing spell have not fallen behind, and he is becoming more and more proficient.

On the other hand, Yao Yun's bow and arrow shooting skills are also constantly practiced, and both his style and style have blossomed and gone hand in hand.

In the past two days, Cangman also returned from the mountains with his hunting team.

During hunting, one person died and more than a dozen people were injured. Hunting has never been a stable channel for obtaining food. Cangman's experience was generally unsatisfactory this time, but more often than not, people can only return disappointed.

As soon as Cangman came back, he heard that the palace was attacked by ghosts, and that the king even took risks and killed several ghosts alone. He was so angry that he reprimanded the palace guards for their poor protection, and asked the king to take action himself.

Later, Cang Man even protected Yao Yun personally, saying that he would not lead the team to hunt.

When Yao Yun heard this, he immediately refused. The autumn hunting cannot be stopped, otherwise the winter will be difficult.

"Cangman, Xidu is just a kid making trouble, it's not a big deal. Gu has been pacified. Autumn hunting is a big deal. Originally, Xidu's food reserves are insufficient. The meat for autumn hunting is a very critical part and cannot be missing!"

Why doesn't Cangman know the importance of autumn hunting? In his heart, he prefers to hunt in the mountains. However, in Cangman's heart, the king's safety is always the first priority. Even if the Xi Kingdom is in danger of destruction, protecting the king is also the first priority.

One person.

"Your Majesty..."

"Okay, there is a bald dragon and the second elder is here. Last time they tested me on purpose. It looked very dangerous, but in fact it was not life-threatening. Gu is accomplished in witchcraft and has first-class shooting skills. One or two little ghosts are nothing to worry about.

Come on, hahaha, Cangman, you have to work hard, maybe you can become a Qi Refiner in the coming year!"

A sincere smile appeared on Cang Man's face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has become a Qi Refiner, and we can go hunting in the mountains together."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

With Yao Yun's relief and persuasion, Cang Man soon led his team into the mountains for hunting again.

As Yao Yun said, Xidu is short of food.

In the past, King Yao Xuan of Xi sold grain from the palace treasury to the barbarian tribes in order to control the barbarian tribes.

But where did the food for the palace treasury come from?

The first is 20% of the land rent for the common people, and the second is the labor output of the slaves.

There are thousands of slaves in Xidu. Yao Yun himself is the largest slave owner in Xiguo, or the only slave owner. The fruits of all slaves' labor will go into the palace treasury, and the palace will provide them with winter rations.

If a large amount of grain from the royal palace's treasury is sold to barbarian tribes, the slaves' rations during the winter will be tight, and many slaves will starve to death.

In the past, Xidu never took this matter seriously, because in the eyes of most people, slaves are not human beings, but consumables. If they die and are bought again next year, they will die. The supplies that slaves need for winter can be bought by two slaves.

.

Yao Yun asked Cang Man, Wu Tong, and Bald Long, and they all felt that the life and death of slaves was a very small matter. Even Xing Ye and Xiao Cao, who were also slaves, were also surprised as to why Yao Yun cared so much about the slaves who were doing hard work.

"Xingye, Xiaocao, don't you think it's strange to do this? Slaves are human beings too, and their lives should be respected!"

Xingye and Xiaocao looked at each other the same way, their eyes full of disbelief.

"The king is kind, but everyone does this. We don't know that although we are also slaves, the king treats us very well. We don't understand the outside world, but things should be like this. No one will pity slaves...

"

"Yes, the slaves in Xi Country are living quite well. I heard that slaves in other places are even worse off."

Yao Yun stared at Xingye and Xiaocao with dumbfounded eyes. He thought that since they were both slaves, the two little girls would speak for the slaves. But... this brainwashing was too powerful!

As a time-traveler who pays attention to democracy, he can accept the subordinate relationship between superiors and subordinates, but it is difficult to accept the inequality in personality. It is obvious that slaves and people in this world are two different creatures.

Yao Yun would not raise his arms and dare to be the first in the world to issue the Emancipation Proclamation to the entire world. He does not have such a big mind, let alone such a big fist.

But in his own territory, Yao Yun could not exploit or even despise the lives of slaves like other nobles.

In Yao Yun's eyes, slaves are also human beings, no different from ordinary people. As the people under his rule, he should work hard to keep them well fed, and no matter how bad the situation is, large numbers of slaves must not starve to death.

Before the emergence of a unified country, slaves were difficult to eradicate. Most slaves were captives of defeated vassal states and defeated tribes. They were the spoils of the victors, and it was normal to buy and sell them at will. This was caused by the current environment of mutual conquest.

Yao Yun cannot change at all.

Yao Yun knew that liberating slaves was the general trend, and that after liberating slaves, the productivity of Xidu would explode. However, Yao Yun would not let them all get out of slavery at once.

Yao Yun did not intend to do this. Firstly, the loss would be too great and he could not afford to lose money in a short time. Secondly, the momentum would be too great and it would lead to unknown troubles.

What Yao Yun can do now is to provide channels for the slaves under his rule to be promoted to common people. As long as the slaves are motivated, Yao Yun will reward them for their merits and let them get back on track in life.

Of course, Yao Yun believed that slave society would slowly disappear, and the history of the previous life fully proved this.

Just when Yao Yun was thinking wildly, the Huangshi Heavenly Book bloomed with bright golden light again.

[The liberation of slaves complies with God's will. Now Xiyun man Yao Yun has made great ambitions and unswervingly fought for the cause of liberating slaves. It is very rare. He hereby releases the task and the reward is to be determined.

Set a small goal to help Xidu slaves survive the winter. Rewards will depend on the situation!】

Yao Yun was stunned. There was a main mission and a side mission. The golden finger played by Tianshu was slipping away more and more.

But when did I make such a big decision?

You are such a cheating man, but you are still unswervingly fighting for the cause of liberating slaves. You must have watched too many news channels!
