Chapter 8 Control Everywhere

Cao Xiang also wanted to say such things. After thinking for a long time, he found that Cao Xin was his pro son. Li Gan did not say what he just said.

"Dangli is pregnant." Cao Xiang was a little sad.

"Oh, what are you doing!"

"Compared to a few of you, I can only be ashamed and brave."

Stimulated by Yun Lang, Cao Xiang immediately forgot his original intention to start a topic.

"In this way, only when Lisheng's children can become your suzerain?"

Yun Lang did not want to fool Cao Xiang back to the topic.

Cao Xiang scratched his head and said: "Actually, I also have a few brothers out of it, and as a result, I finally became Pingyanghou in poor health."

"The royal marriage to a princess is actually a conspiracy, a conspiracy that dilutes the blood of the rest of the family.

Your mother is a royal family, so you have royal blood. Now, when you marry Dangli, when your son is born, his royal blood will be even stronger. If your son marries a princess ... Haha ... After the third and fifth generations, your descendants of the Cao family are the blood of the royal family. "

Yun Lang provoked innocently.

Cao Xiang sneered: "You married Song Qiao, half of Yunzhe's bloodline became Song's family, and then Yunzhe married another girl's daughter, and the bloodline of your grandson is still yours. ? Accurately yours?

Unless you disregard Renlun and let Yunzhe marry Yunyin, otherwise blood dilution is inevitable.

I'm sophistry before me, I'm clever. "

Cao Xiang's words made Yun Lang feel that Cao Xiang was really smart.

The weather is very hot, but the official hall where Yunlang is located is very large. As long as all four windows are opened, there will be a cool breeze through here. At this time, it is best to drink iced grape wine.

You can drink in the army without restraint. This is the first benefit that Yun Lang discovered after he became the general.

In the past, people were restrained and had to be sneaky when drinking alcohol. Now that's okay, to some extent he has become the supreme moderator of this army. The military order is naturally invalid for him.

They can sit in the official hall of the cool breeze to drink, and those generals can only supervise the soldiers under the hot sun to take back the cobblestones of human heads one by one ...

Even Li Ling, who only received the whip yesterday, was not spared.

Cao Xiang looked at the strangely rising wall of Fuli Palace and said strangely, "Alang, what you make is always bigger than that built by masters, why?"

Yun Lang took a sip of wine and said, "I know better than all of you how happy it is to have a solid city when disaster strikes."

"City is not high, Chi is not deep, and Bing Gefei is also unfavorable ... Mencius said too much to help and not help, you don't understand this truth?"

Cao Xiang lifted his book bag.

Yun Lang, Li Gan sighed together ...

Cao Xiang said quickly: "I know that people's hearts are unpredictable, and I also know that when we really have a problem, people's hearts don't use their ass, but Mencius said the truth is correct. You shouldn't laugh at me.

Yun Lang patted Cao Xiang's shoulder and said: "Brother, you remember, as long as your majesty can give the world a full mouthful of food, Mencius's truth will always be bullshit.

The standard for measuring gains and losses is not in the hearts of the people, but in the stomach pouches. Guan Zhong said that it is very reasonable to say that one has to eat and eat enough to know honor and shame.

Chang'an now always gives me a sense of precariousness ... So, I just want to make General Wei's mansion strong and tall.

Be prepared. "

Cao Xiang frowned: "Do you think Chang'an is unsafe?"

Yun Lang spread his hands and said: "Yeah, as long as I see the slaves, I have a strong sense of crisis."

"Why, they are very obedient now, and my big man has also promulgated the" Slave Management Regulations ". The master is not allowed to treat the slaves harshly. Many slaves of the Cao family no longer need to wear shackles, and even kindly gave them a marriage match.

In my opinion, lifting the shackles of slaves and allowing them to multiply will become a major trend, and within three years, it will definitely become a common phenomenon. "

"Remove shackles, match? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Cao Xiang said with a smile: "A large number of elite slaves have been transferred to cut the Shu Road by His Majesty. I heard that there are countless deaths and injuries.

The stewards who escorted the slaves to the Shu Road in my home said that the first two thousand slaves who survived were less than 40% alive. "

"How could this be?"

"Why wouldn't it be like this? This Shu Road was dug along the plank road, with blue sky on the head and cliffs at the bottom. The slaves needed to tie the rope around their waists, climb down the cliff, and cut the road in the middle of the mountain, As soon as the rope was worn, slaves would fall directly from the cliff.

Not only that, the tigers and leopards were rampant in the deep forests of the middle mountains of Shu. In addition to the humid and rainy weather all year round, the Huns, Qiangs, and Yiqus themselves were all from the North. If they were not used to the climate in Shu, they died even more.

As a result, the price of slaves in Guanzhong skyrocketed, and the slaves became more expensive, especially the hard-working Hun slaves.

Just like no one wants to torture their big animals, expect them to work, so it's a necessity to give more forage.

In the past, it was said that slave marriage was not allowed, but now some people worry that the Han army will kill all the Huns in the surroundings, and no slaves will be available in the future.

I feel that the slaves are already in the state of women and men, it is better to allow them to marry, one can settle the heart of the slave, and the other can be a stream of water, let us have endless use of slaves.

This idea also makes sense. "

Yun Lang smiled and said, "Don't you worry that they will breed a Xiongnu tribe in Changan?"

Cao Xiang chuckled and said: "The ministers of China and North Korea forcibly elevated the Qiang women's status and asked them to choose their favorite Huns. Once they became married, the status of the Huns was far inferior to that of the Qiang's wife. , The power in the family is all in the wife, even in the slave book, the owner of the record is the Qiang woman!

At the same time, they also advised His Majesty to give the Qiang woman a little bit of land to let the Qiang woman plant it by herself. The Huns slaves of the relatives planted in spring every year, and there are a few days of vacation during the autumn harvest, which can help his wife to plant land.

It's fine to arrange things without details. Now, there are few slavery riots in Chang'an City. "

Yun Lang glanced at Cao Xiang's handsome face, and his heart shivered.

The really vicious person is Dong Zhongshu.

In Cao Xiang's words just now, Yun Lang heard not only the truth but also the hidden meaning.

In the slaves of the Han, not only the Huns and Qiang women, but also the Qiang men, the Xiongnu women, and it can even be said that with the unremitting efforts of the slave arrest team and the Han army, Dongyi, Xidi, Nanban There are slaves in Bei Rong. Today, when the fighting is prevalent, even the slaves of the great Qin Kingdom are not uncommon in Chang'an.

Why is Dong Zhongshu's suggestion only Qiang women and Xiongnu men, has the rest of the slave status changed?

According to the elaborate piety of the old guy, it is absolutely impossible for him to give benefits to all slaves.

Since some slaves have benefited, then more slaves will lose more rights.

This is for sure.

The Qiang women married the Huns, so would the Qiang men marry the Huns?

This is absolutely impossible. If the Qiang people have a higher status, the consequence of this is to cultivate a stronger Qiang tribe.

They will only marry the Xiongnu women to those slaves who come from a small number of tribes, and completely separate the crowded Huns.

As for the Qiang men ... there is only one way to die!

When Cao Xiang saw Yun Lang not talking for a long time, he smiled and said, "It's quite thoughtful, isn't it?"

"How many Qiang slaves are there in Chang'an City? I mean men!"

"No, the Qiang slaves I left at home have been requisitioned by the Shaofu. For this matter, my wife has lost my temper with me, saying that I became a Hou Ye in vain, and even the slaves in the family can't keep it.

Li Gan finally plugged in.

"What do you ask about this? There are no slaves in your family!" Cao Xiang was worried that Yun Lang would do something contrary to the will of everyone.

Yun Lang scratched his itchy scalp and shook his head: "Nothing, just ask."

"Dong Zhongshu and a group of old men think that this is not very decent, and think that as long as Yi Di enters my China and wears my national dress, he is Chinese.

Now, his opinion is very unpopular ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ You are one of the pillars of Confucianism, don't get involved, and fight against all those with vested interests. "

Yun Lang shook his head and said, "I am an ostrich right now, burying my head in the sand. I can't see it as a net, but I can't control my **** to be exposed!"

"Huh? What is an ostrich? Why haven't you heard of it?"

"Oh, it's a giant bird that can only run on the ground and can't fly. A bird's egg is about the size of a melon.

When faced with shock, he put his head in the sand, in the desert north of the Great Qin Kingdom. "

"Can you ride?"

"can!"

"Then let the merchants of the Great Qin Kingdom get back some more. Our brothers will not ride horses when they travel. Instead, they will ride ostriches. Will these birds run faster?

"Fast horses!"

"That would be perfect, that's it."
