Chapter 1235: Master Qing helps you repay your kindness (25)
After the previous war, everyone was happy that the country had a powerful Yin Yang family in charge.
But they also know very well that Xiguo is no longer safe.
Some smart people have even quietly left Xiguo.
They feel that it is better to take their family property and flee to other countries than to stay in Xi's country and wait to die.
As for those who stayed behind, they were either full of confidence in Xiguo or had nowhere to go.
And these people are also the main source of recruitment.
Before the conscription, Dai Ji obtained Jin Qing's permission and prepared to launch a pre-war mobilization speech at the market entrance outside Xiwang Palace.
Generals usually say some morale-boosting words before a battle.
However, the person who came out to give the pre-war speech this time was Jin Qing.
I don’t know what kind of misunderstanding Dai Ji and Sister Ji have about Jin Qing. They insist that as a general of the Yin Yang family who is about to lead troops into battle.
It is most appropriate for Jin Qing to take the stage and give a speech.
It just so happened that there was no great defense between men and women at this time, and it was not uncommon for women to be in charge of government affairs and go into battle.
So, after giving Jin Qing the speech carved on the bamboo slip in her hand, Dai Ji pushed Jin Qing onto the stage.
As for herself, she hid in the cart with several others.
The Yin Yang family masters who knew about them had already appeared, and there were quite a few people coming to the market to watch the excitement.
Jin Qing ran away from the city wall that day. These people had no chance to admire Jin Qing's "heroic appearance". Of course, they had to be careful enough to see it at this time.
Jin Qing stood on the stage holding the bamboo slip in his hand, looking at the darkness below, grinning quietly. He didn't expect that there were so many people in the main city of Xiguo.
At this time, people in the market were residents of the main city, slaves who came out to work, and some refugees who came in from outside the city to watch the excitement.
> The identity of these people can be clearly seen from their clothing. Most of the residents are wearing clothes made of linen or cotton.
The slaves were branded, and when they were able to regain their freedom, the government would issue them a brand symbolizing freedom and register it with the government.
Once the sign or the registered case file is lost, the slave can only return to the previous master's house and continue to be a slave.
Not only them, but also their descendants will be slaves.
However, the private seal of a slave cannot be stamped casually. Only officials of Sima level and above are qualified to stamp the slave's mark on others.
As for the refugees outside the city, they are easier to identify.
They relied on Xiguo to survive for a long time, but were not accepted by Xiguo. They could only cultivate a little bit of wasteland outside the city to fill their stomachs.
Because their lives are so poor, these people don't even have clothes on their bodies and often use leaves to cover their important parts.
Most of their skin is exposed, giving them the feeling of living in a primitive jungle.
In terms of clothing, these refugees are not even comparable to slaves who are covered in patches.
After all, those who can afford slaves are rich people.
I just don’t know who is more comfortable, a slave whose life and death is in the hands of his master, or a poor refugee from a dozen households outside the city who only has one pair of pants.
There are not many nobles in the Xi Kingdom, so there are also few slaves.
After the decree that the status of a slave could be changed by joining the army, it did not cause much reaction from the nobles, because they were also watching the situation at this time.
Moreover, Dai Ji has also stated that if
If a slave dies on the battlefield, his pension will be paid to his master.
If the slave survives, his battle dividends will also be distributed to the master's family as the price of the slave's redemption.
No matter how you calculate it, these two sums of money already exceed the value of the slaves.
Those who owned slaves would naturally not refuse such a good thing.
And the slaves were unwilling to give up such a good opportunity. They might only have a 10% chance of surviving on the battlefield.
But if they stay in the master's house, they will definitely die a bad death.
The use of slaves in burials has never been interrupted from ancient times to the present.
The refugees think differently from the slaves. They live like savages outside the city, and they are already extremely envious of the life of the residents in the city.
Now that they have the opportunity to turn their family members into residents, they naturally want to give it a try.
So, everyone stretched their necks and waited to hear Jin Qing's speech.
They wanted to hear Jin Qing personally admit what was written in the recruitment document.
After looking at the people in the audience, Jin Qing turned his eyes to the bamboo slip in his hand, nodded seriously and said to himself, "The writing is quite good."
707 ""It's over, its unlucky host definitely doesn't understand the words above.
707's guess was correct. Jin Qing read the bamboo slips from beginning to end and found that she could not recognize any of the words Daiji carved for her overnight.
Jin Qing closed the bamboo slip and looked seriously at the pair of eyes in front of her that looked admiring, expectant, or inquiring. She knew what to say.
707 conjured two arms and wrapped itself tightly. Now it can't hear anything.
Si Ji sat on the cart and looked at Jin Qing's confident look.
"Hello, Master
Awesome." Fan girl Yan Ji
"It's really not easy for the master to be able to memorize the bamboo slips." said the sensible Sister Ji.
"Why do I always feel a little panicked, Yan Ji, are there troops guarding this market?" Dai Ji felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Who would have thought that at this moment, they heard a muffled laugh, and the other three people looked at Peggy in confusion, "What's wrong?" What's so funny.
Peggy didn't speak, but shook the Ropa in her hand charmingly towards the three of them, "Nothing, I just thought of an interesting thing."
The other three people exchanged glances with each other, then turned their heads away and continued to look at Jin Qing.
But he saw that Jin Qing had already put his hands behind his back on the table, "Do you want to eat enough?" Now is the time for free expression.
Except for Peggy who started to look at Jin Qing intently, Sister Ji and Yan Ji looked at Dai Ji at the same time and asked in surprise, "This is the document you wrote!"
Dai Ji was also shocked and opened her mouth, "How, how is it possible!" How could she be so devoid of literary talent? Why didn't the master read according to her manuscript.
Hearing Jin Qing's down-to-earth question, the crowd instantly fell silent. This seemed to be different from the recruitment speeches they had heard in the past.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and a few weak voices "thinking" came out from the crowd, their voices trembling, as if they would disappear at any time.
Everyone looked for the voice, only to find that the speakers were a few refugees wearing leaves.
After seeing these people, everyone understood that the refugees could only eat one meal a day, mostly soup, so they naturally wanted to eat enough.
Jin Qing suddenly became more energetic when he heard someone reply, "Do you want to eat meat?"
With the answers given by a few people just now, the situation this time is much better than before. A few people in the crowd whispered "I want to!" It is the dream of all of them to be able to eat meat.
