Chapter seven hundred and ninth, cut off the fate
Jomba's spirit was almost broken at this time, but he still showed a begging gaze.
"Of course," Zhao Xiaodong nodded heavily, sighed, and ordered decisively, "You are now wearing torches, check each room carefully for me, and bring the dog with you at the same time, so as not to miss any clues of the battle."
The security team's dogs are not ordinary dogs, they are specially trained and have a very sensitive sense of smell.
"No." Wan Hongzhuang, Yi Shuichuan and others agreed, bowed and turned around and took their men to search.
After Wan Hongzhuang, Yi Shuichuan and others left, Zhao Xiaodong and his five personal soldiers were left.
Jomba lay on the ground, motionless, expressionless, and distracted eyes, but tears kept flowing.
As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than death in the heart, and Jomba is obviously in this state.
Although his body has not yet died, his spirit has died.
Zhao Xiaodong knew his discomfort and stepped forward to hold his hand.
He tried to ask in gentle words: "Johnba, how old are you?"
"I'm old, old, the villain is already thirty-five." Jomba didn't want to answer, but when he thought of Zhao Xiaodong helping him, he hesitated and answered again and again.
Zhao Xiaodong smiled like a smile, and his voice was like a spring breeze: "You are still young, I thought you are already forty."
"Young, many of us Tubo people died at about forty." At this point, Jonba smiled bitterly, looking sad.
Zhao Xiaodong knew that Jonba was already dead, and his children were killed again. Is there any more painful life tragedy than this?
He patted Jomba's hand and said to Jomba: "Johnba, do you know that a few hundred years ago, a woman started giving birth to a child at the age of 46. Her second child was even more amazing. She became the only queen in Chinese history and lived in her eighties."
"The villain knows that Jun Ye is comforting the villain, and the villain has no hope in his life." At this point, Jonba burst into tears again.
Seeing Jomba's extremely uncomfortable look, Zhao Xiaodong was not feeling well.
But we must cheer up. Zhao Xiaodong said in a deep voice: "You think the lies I told, let me tell you, this is true. This woman is Wu Zetian, but she is not from this dynasty, she is from the previous dynasty."
"Really?" Qiangba's eyes flashed, and then it dimmed again. "That's you Han people, Tubo people have a miserable life. I will die in a few years."
After saying that, he was lying on the ground again, motionless, letting tears flow.
"That was the past. Now that you have a security team, your life will be better when you work in Zhaojiazhuang in the future." Zhao Xiaodong patted Qiangba's palm, his tone full of enthusiasm and sincerity.
Qiangba's eyes lit up again: "June, how old is the Song Dynasty?"
"On average, the people of the Song Dynasty could live to be sixty years old." After saying this, Zhao Xiaodong felt a sense of pride.
Compared with Tubo and other foreign barbarians, the Song Dynasty was twenty years taller.
Qiangba's eyes suddenly lit up, and his voice became louder without realizing it: "June, really, is the life span of the Song Dynasty so high?"
"In the Song Dynasty, elderly people in their sixties and seventies are very common." Although Zhao Xiaodong's tone was plain, it was extremely inspiring, especially those like Jonba.
"June, it turns out that the Song Dynasty has such a lifespan." Qiangba was happy for a while, but it soon became dimmed again. "June, but this is just Tubo, not the Song Dynasty."
It seems that this Jobba is not ordinary inferiority complex and he never thought that he could live to be over forty years old.
You can't let Jonba be discouraged, you must cheer him up. The couple is so pitiful.
Zhao Xiaodong thought about it and asked, "You have 60 nobles here."
"They can indeed move to sixty," Jomba nodded, then shook her head, looking sad, "But they are nobles, and the villain is just a bad guy, so where can they move to sixty."
"This means that the Tubo people can still live to be 60 years old. They can live to be around 60 like the Song Dynasty." Zhao Xiaodong reminded him.
Jomba shook his head and looked as if dead: "The nobles eliminated their sins in their previous lives, so they can enjoy happiness in this life. The villain committed too many sins in his previous life, and he can only eliminate sins in this life. I hope he has a good fate in the next life."
"Actually, you don't have to wait for the next life, you can live to be sixty in this life." Zhao Xiaodong encouraged Jomba.
Jonba looked sad and shook his head as if he was shaking: "The villain's life is miserable, and there is no fate of a noble."
"Who said you can't live to 60? Didn't the common people of the Song Dynasty live to 60 years old?" Zhao Xiaodong knew his mood, "Of course you can live to 60 years old."
"The villain is a Tubo, not a Song Dynasty person. How can he live to the lifespan of the people of the Song Dynasty?" Qiangba shook his head, not believing Zhao Xiaodong's words at all.
His face was sad, and his face looked like bark, making him look even older.
Zhao Xiaodong said earnestly: "The reason why you can't live to be sixty is because you didn't live well in the past. Not only did you work all day, but most of your income was taken away by the nobles."
"Has the noble taken it away?" Jonba shook his head and looked stunned. "That's the villain rented his land, of course he had to rent it."
"Why do they have land? Why don't you have? Have you ever thought about it?" Zhao Xiaodong reminded.
Qiangba looked calm and sad, then looked envious: "That's because they have a good life. The villain committed too many sins in his previous life, and only this life will eliminate his sins."
It is also the sin of the previous life, and the saying that the sin of the past is eliminated in this life.
Perhaps they gave birth to a different fate from the noble children, so they couldn't help asking their parents.
Their parents had difficulty answering, so they had to say that they committed too many sins in their previous lives and had to suffer only in this life.
They had no culture, no knowledge, and no knowledge, even if they were in the Song Dynasty, they didn't know about it.
They don’t know that as long as you study hard in the Song Dynasty, you can change your destiny through the imperial examinations and achieve a leap from the lowest level to the highest level.
No wonder the nobles oppressed them so much, and never saw them resist.
In short, both Tubo were Langsheng (slave) and Chaba (civilian) and had the same idea, and accepted his fate.
Why is he so poor? It’s because he is not lucky? This is God’s arrangement. He is destined to have only the life of Chaba in this life and only accept his fate.
Seeing Qiangba's sad expression, Zhao Xiaodong shook his head, his tone was full of disdain: "Tubo was not like this before. Every civilian has a share of land, but it was seized by the nobles and lamas."
"Really, fake?" Qiangba couldn't believe his ears and stared at Zhao Xiaodong in a daze.
He seemed to hear a bolt from the blue, and never expected that it was the reason.
Upon hearing this news, Johnba's mind was blank. He never expected that there would be such a statement.
When Zhao Xiaodong saw Jonba's stunned look, he knew that he could not accept it for the moment.
He sighed and said to Jomba: "In fact, not only is Tubo, but also the Song Dynasty, but it is not as serious as Tubo."
"Mr. Junyi, the same is true for the Song Dynasty. Why did the lifespan of the Song Dynasty actually be about sixty?" Hearing Zhao Xiaodong's words, Qiangba didn't believe it at all.
"How much is your land rent?" Seeing that the other party was unable to understand, Zhao Xiaodong said patiently: "The land rent in the Song Dynasty collected 30% of the land rent, and only 50% of the land harvest was good."
Hearing that the land rent in the Song Dynasty was so low, Qiangba couldn't help but lower his head: "The villain paid 70% of the money, which is much more than the Song Dynasty."
Qiangba couldn't figure out why the Song Dynasty only collected 30% of the land rent, while the Tubo actually collected 70% of the land.
Seeing Johnba's painful appearance, Zhao Xiaodong knew that he was extremely sad.
"To be honest, my family is also a tenant farmer, and I rely on renting land to live." Zhao Xiaodong decided to get close to the distance between the two parties and expressed his thoughts.
Jomba was completely shocked. He never expected that this high-ranking officer of the Song Dynasty was like him, a tenant farmer.
Jobba couldn't help but look up and plucked up the courage to ask, "June, how did you become an officer?"
In Jomba's opinion, if his son did not die, he would definitely let his son join the army.
Of course, he had no good impression of the Tubo soldiers and horses at all. He yearned for soldiers like the security team.
Not only can you win battles, but you can also get good treatment.
"I joined when the little saint just established a security team. Later, I made military achievements and now I am the deputy leader." Zhao Xiaodong smiled indifferently and said in a leisurely manner.
Jobba couldn't help but wipe his tears: "If my son hadn't died, I would have let him join the army. I wonder if you would take him in?"
"If your son is not dead, this age is suitable for joining the army, of course we welcome him." Seeing Jonba's sad look, Zhao Xiaodong hurriedly comforted him.
"Your family is a tenant farmer. Is life hard?" Jonba heard that he rented other people's land like him, and he immediately got closer in his heart and couldn't help asking.
"The tenants in the Song Dynasty were of course better than Tubo, but better than you. When encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, life was also hard, and even those who sold their children and daughters were also very popular." Zhao Xiaodong said with deep emotion, "Fortunately, the government also has relief, and the landlords also need to reduce some exemptions."
"The Song Dynasty is much better than Tubo. We are not born in normal times in the famine. When we meet children who cannot support them, we can only sell them to nobles as slaves." At this point, he looked sad.
Zhao Xiaodong couldn't help but be surprised: "This is how the slaves in the noble family come from?"
"That is, otherwise, there would be slaves from the noble family. As long as the parents are slaves and their descendants are slaves, they will never turn over." When Jonba said this, he could not help but lower his head.
"Although the Song Dynasty also had the phenomenon of selling children and daughters, it would not become a slave. Generally, it only took ten years to contract for ten years. If you want to continue to be a slave to others, you have to continue signing the contract." Although Zhao Xiaodong felt heavy, he felt that the Song Dynasty was much better from Tubo from afar, and he felt that it was unknowingly full of pride.
Hearing this, Qiangba couldn't help but shed tears again. He was also a human being, why was the Song Dynasty and Tubo so different?
Could it be that I had sinned too much in my previous life that I was reincarnated in Tubo and lived a life that was far more miserable than the Song Dynasty?
