Chapter 44 Only need to kill 150!
Chapter 44: Only one hundred and fifty need to be killed!
"Apricot leaves, grass, how about you saying you are alone and leave your slave family?"
When he woke up in the morning, after eating rice porridge and drinking honey soy milk, Yao Yun lay on his back on the rattan chair with satisfaction, casually speaking to the apricot leaves that were packing things in the room. Xiaocao said.
As a result, the two little girls froze. Xingye's hand was packing up the bedding and stopped in the air. The grass sweeping the floor stood still, looking at Yao Yun in surprise.
Yao Yun was lying on a rattan chair, and the little cat, Tiangou, was lying obediently in Yao Yun's arms. Two big pandas were playing at their feet. They hugged Yao Yun's legs from time to time, rolled and acted coquettishly, and looked very cute and full of life scenes.
If it were normal, the two little girls would have a sweet heart when they saw this scene. What a warm picture!
However, the apricot leaves and grass who saw this scene at this moment changed from surprise to fear of the unknown.
Xingye was soft-hearted and said nothing. Xiaocao cried and said with a sad face: "Master, do you want us anymore?"
"Why do you say that? You are still in the palace. I just said that you will be free from your slaves and make you the people of Xidu."
Hearing this, the two little girls were a little calmer.
Xingye: "King, we have been punished by Mo and will never be able to escape from slavery in our lifetime."
Xiaocao also nodded: "Yes, even if we are not slaves, people outside will still look down on us. Look, we all have the mark of the king!"
After saying that, the two little girls rolled up their wide sleeves and revealed their tender white jade hands. There was an ugly mark on their white arms, which could be vaguely seen as the word "Yao".
Yao Yun frowned, as if regretting that the beautiful things were destroyed.
Xingye seemed to understand Yao Yun’s thoughts and smiled sweetly: “King, others are punished on their faces or foreheads. Because we were chosen to be the close maids of the king, this is just fortunately carved on our arms.”
Upon hearing this, Yao Yun understood what Xiaocao meant. Liberating slaves was indeed not that easy to do. Yao Yun might be able to give slaves the status of common people in his household registration, but living in a group, they were obviously discriminated against and unfairly treated.
Xiaocao also spoke, "King, my family is unwilling to leave my slave family. It would be great if I have been by my king. If I become a commoner, it would be difficult for us to support ourselves. How good is it now, I will be able to eat everything from the king."
Puff! Yao Yun was happy. This little girl is really smart, but he thought it was very reasonable when he thought about it. Even if he had left the slave, they still needed the ability to survive. Otherwise, it would be better to be a slave. At least he would have some food to meet Yao Yun, a kind king.
After breakfast, Yao Yun was about to go out to inspect the slaves in Xidu.
Huangshi Tianshu released the main task of liberating slaves. Yao Yun thought it was very high? If it were in the game, it was the ultimate SSS-level task, which could not be completed in one day or two. Maybe Yao Yun could not complete it in his life.
However, the side missions that allow slaves to spend this winter will be much less difficult, and at least it can be completed after planning it carefully.
Xidu is indeed short of food, and the most scarce one is the food for the slaves to live.
Ordinary common people have land to grow, craftsmen have craftsmanship, and work hard for a year. Although it is difficult to spend the winter, there is basically no problem. Whether slaves can survive the winter depends entirely on the food in the palace.
As for the treasury of Xiguo, there is no hope at all. The money from the treasury is used to support the army, Xidu construction, etc., and being able to balance income and expenditure means that the governance is good.
Yao Yun quickly took the palace guards to Nufang, where he gathered all the slaves of Xidu.
"The king is here!"
Nufang is not like other houses, each family is neatly arranged, and it is more like a farm. The short reed houses are lined up and densely packed. There are many people living in some earthen houses, like pigs in pig farms.
The dirty environment, the smelly air, and the thin slaves constitute the basic appearance of the slave house.
When he heard the king's arrival, a person who looked like a manager came to greet him soon. Then many slaves came to the open space one after another, crawled at Yao Yun and knelt down at him, calling him the king, not even daring to raise his head.
"Is this Nufang?" Yao Yun asked.
Hu Yi bowed and said, "Report to the king, this is the Nufang. Nufang is a dirty place. The king's body of a thousand gold should not be kept for a long time, so as to avoid being filthy."
Yao Yun shook his head, ignored Hu Yi, but said to the slave crawling on the ground, "Let's get up."
The slaves seemed to have not heard it, and even if they heard it, they did not think that the king would let them get up.
"Battlemen, the king asked you to get up, but you still lie down and do something!" Nufang's manager roared and cursed, with some slang in his mouth that Yao Yun could not understand, and his attitude was extremely rough.
Yao Yun frowned, but said nothing.
Soon, hundreds of slaves shrank and stood up timidly, but no one dared to look up at Yao Yun, and their eyes dodged, with confusion and numbness in their eyes.
Yao Yun looked around and felt that the number of people was a little small, and among these people, the elderly, weak, women and children, were mainly the elderly, weak, and even the other young slaves were sick.
"Xi doesn't have thousands of slaves, why are there only these now?"
The manager of the Nufang flattered and replied respectfully: "Report to the king, the young and strong slaves have been sent out to work. The autumn harvest is over, the craftsmen's workshops, the mines, and the people rent slaves as laborers. Now they are all waste, and they are all free to eat!"
Seeing Yao Yun frowning, the manager's forehead was a little sweaty, so he said, "King, these slaves are old, young, and small, and they are useless. It's better to solve them earlier. The first two years were too late, and then many years of powerful and useful slaves died..."
The manager was spitting everywhere, and he became more and more proud when it came to the rise, because he had calculated that as long as he had dealt with some useless slaves now, the remaining food would be enough to allow most of the useful slaves to survive the winter and continue to work for Xiguo next year.
Yao Yun suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. A slave in charge said in front of the slaves that he killed them and saved food.
The barbaric world of people who cannibalize people is not fictional, this world is so barbaric and so absurd.
"Then do you think how many slaves are appropriate to kill?" Yao Yun's voice was low. The palace guards who were familiar with the king's temper were shocked, and the king was angry!
However, the manager of the Nufang did not hear it. He thought the king thought he was very capable, so he said proudly: "Master, you only need to kill 150 slaves."
As soon as these words were said, all the slaves in the Nufang showed a look of horror, trembling like sieve, and their eyes were full of despair.
A useless slave is just an idle slave present!
In other words, most of the people present were not spared.
