Chapter 379 Assign barbarian slaves to dig potatoes for Han masters!
Northern Pass is indeed a place of bitter cold in this era, and not many people are willing to stay outside the Pass.
In the early Ming Dynasty, many military households who were placed in the guards outside the customs had to escape because of this. They would rather run into the customs and serve as slaves to a rich family than to be a military household outside the customs.
It is the same now.
Although Apocalypse exiled many Han offenders and their nine ethnic groups outside the Guan, he also issued an edict that they would not be killed if they could be exiled.
However, some Han people could not stand the bitter cold outside the customs and the complex multi-ethnic environment, and tried their best to escape back to the customs.
For this reason, the imperial court had to issue an edict that if they fled back privately, they would be exiled to a farther place.
No way, there are no strong foreign forces or local forces in places like Sakhalin Island and the Outer Xing'an Mountains. It was Daming who migrated Han people in these places and strengthened control over these places, making these places completely under the actual control of Ming Dynasty Territory's best opportunity.
Therefore, based on national interests, Ming must increase the number of Han people in these places.
Snapped!
"Let you run away! Don't you know that you or your parents and grandparents have committed a great crime?!"
The inspector Feng Yuanbiao of the newly established Beishan Inspectorate, who is responsible for arresting fugitives, is reprimanding a group of exiled Han Chinese who have been captured before him, and is also letting his soldiers whip these Han people.
Mao Qizong is one of these Han Chinese who escaped and was captured, and he is now being whipped.
Regarding this, Mao Qizong was very depressed. He really couldn't stand the bitter cold outside the pass, so he wanted to escape back.
But he didn't expect that he would be arrested and beaten severely.
Even if he was a fugitive from Jinshi background, he did not escape the severe beating.
After the 20 lashes that could be imposed according to the regulations, Feng Yuanbiao continued to look at these escaped Han Chinese, and ordered: "Re-register them and exile them to Sakhalin Island!"
According to the current edicts and regulations of Ming Dynasty, if you escape in the place of exile, you have to go to a farther place.
Therefore, Feng Yuanbiao's actions can be regarded as a routine disposal.
"Sakhalin?"
The Han Chinese who wanted to flee like Mao Qizong became even more desperate after hearing this.
Mao Qizong even stood up first: "Feng Jietai, everyone is a scholar, why is this so! Can you don't let us go to Sakhalin Island, we promise that we will never run away without permission again."
Feng Yuanbiao ignored Mao Qizong.
The soldiers under Feng Yuanbiao gathered Mao Qizong and the escaped Han Chinese, and ordered: "Let's go! Don't stay so **** long, if you can't get to the next post before dark, just wait and feed the wolves!"
Both Mao Pijiang and Zhang Pu shed tears when they saw this.
They originally fled with Mao Qizong, but in the end because they were younger and ran back home in time, they were not caught by the soldiers. As a result, they can still stand on the dry shore, with other escaped The Han people watched the fun together.
But because of this, the two had to suppress their desire to flee back to the south, and had to accept the reality, and continue to live with the barbarians here.
Only a few days later, Mao Pijiang thought that his father Mao Qizong had gone to Sakhalin Island, so he said to Zhang Pu: "Brother Gandu, should we try again? At worst, we will be exiled after being caught. Go to Sakhalin Island so that I can be reunited with my father."
Zhang Pu, who was holding his newborn child, was unwilling to take this risk. After all, Mao Qizong was not his father, and he had a child now, so he said, "Let's see again."
"That's fine, I'll try to escape alone."
Mao Pijiang saw Zhang Pu's hesitation, so he said something.
Zhang Pu was about to speak, when Liu Shanghui walked in with several Baiyi Japanese.
The Baiyi Wa people had their hands bound, but their faces were clean.
Zhang Pu couldn't help standing up because of this, and asked, "This is?"
Liu Shanghui said: "It is Zhang Xuezheng's slave assigned to you! Because you have given birth to many children and contributed to the cause of Daming Shibian, and you are the oldest one here to educate the barbarians, so the higher-ups decided to assign you five slaves. White slaves, three Japanese slaves, a total of eight slaves."
"From now on, these eight slaves are your property. You can dispose of them at will, including selling them."
"If you lose it, you can report it to the government office. If they resist, the government office will suppress them for you. Their shackles have been welded to death, and they have all been raped. Apart from being unable to run fast and give birth, their work will not be affected. In addition, they all have numbers, you can call their numbers directly, or you can give them names you like to hear."
"Slave?"
Zhang Pu asked quite unexpectedly, and at the same time was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that he could still use slaves after being exiled here.
You must know that he and the scholars like Mao Pijiang felt uncomfortable because there were no domestic servants and servants outside the customs. Now that there are slaves to use, this makes them feel a little bit comforted.
"Yes, now you not only need to be responsible for teaching the children here to read and accept Chinese, and to give birth to the barbarians assigned to you as much as possible. It will bring convenience to your life and free up your time to make more contributions to Daming."
Liu Shanghui said.
Zhang Pu said after hearing this: "But I don't know how to manage house slaves. I used to be house slaves who manage affairs."
"You may appoint a slave to be your steward."
Liu Shanghui said.
At this time, among the eight slaves, a short Bai Yi with the number 9527 suddenly stood up, knelt in front of Zhang Pu and said, "I can speak the language of Ming Dynasty, please let me be your housekeeper."
Zhang Pu nodded: "Yes, then you can take them to dig potatoes for me!"
As he spoke, Zhang Pu ordered one of his Yi women's wives: "Take them there and show them our potato fields."
The barbarian girl agreed and took 9527 and seven other slaves to her family's potato field.
Liu Shanghui left Zhang Pu's place to distribute slaves to other Han people.
Here, after Zhang Pu's Yi wife brought 95,271 slaves to her potato field, she ordered: "This is here, you dig it quickly."
"Yes! Ma'am!"
After 9527 agreed with a flattering smile, he put his hips on his hips and shouted to the other seven slaves in Portuguese: "Hurry up and dig out the potatoes inside, don't be negligent, so as not to anger the master!"
"hurry up!"
The 9527 said and kicked the shortest Japanese slave: "Hurry up!"
So the seven slaves bent down to dig up the potatoes here.
After the batch of foreign slaves were transported outside the customs in 9527, it was already autumn and winter, and coupled with the small glacier climate, the weather was already very cold.
When these seven slaves were digging potatoes, they naturally rushed to carry the soil as if they were carrying ice cubes. At the same time, their hands were like being cut by knives, enduring the tight blowing of the new wind.
Snapped!
Zhang Puzhiyi's wife was very satisfied with this, especially with 9527's behavior of managing the other seven slaves for her.
Because she was just an ordinary Sauron before she became Zhang Pu's wife. If it wasn't for this 9527 who took the initiative to stand up, she and Zhang Pu still don't know how to manage their wives and Zhang Pu's slaves.
So, Zhang Puzhiyi's wife untied her whip and gave it to 9527, letting him supervise for her, while she rushed back and continued to sleep with Zhang Pu.
And because of this, after 9527 took the whip from the mistress, he also worked hard to whip the new slave who wanted to be lazy.
Several slaves were stabbed and had **** wounds. After the cold wind blew, the pain made these slaves grin their teeth, so that these slaves hated 9527 very much.
Zhang Pu didn't roll in bed with his Yi wife, but accompanied by Mao Pijiang, he came to the distance of his home, watched all this silently, and said to Mao Pijiang:
"Actually, it's good to be outside the pass, especially now that I don't have to dig potatoes myself. Maybe I can let these slaves carry me in a sedan chair to enjoy the scenery outside the pass in my free time. Why run away? If I'm caught, I'll be exiled to Wouldn't it be more bitter and cold to go to a farther place? Live contentedly and comfortably. What do you think, Brother Pijiang?"
