The Caveman Made Me Awesome

With the sound of Ye Xi reciting the code of law eloquently.

Gradually, the slaves who hid in the distance approached unknowingly, hid themselves behind the stele, and listened intently with the others.

Ye Xi didn't take it seriously either, looking up at the majestic stone tablet and continued to read: "...Article 63 of the Law Code, slaves shall not be executed arbitrarily without reason, and offenders will be whipped eighty times."

Now the tribes in Xicheng have both private slaves and public slaves.

Private slaves belonged exclusively to individuals. They usually lived in the master's stone house, and their life and death were decided by the master. It was inconvenient for Ye Xi to intervene.

The public slaves belong to Xicheng's shared property. They usually live together in the cave and need to help Xicheng with work. Ye Xi doesn't want to see these slaves killed easily.

Ye Xi read on: "Article 64 of the Code, if a female slave gives birth to three or more children belonging to Xicheng people, then this female slave will be pardoned as a commoner."

The female slaves who were listening behind the stele suddenly widened their eyes and looked at each other in disbelief.

Ye Xi continued: "Article 64 of the Code, slaves who have contributed to Xi City will be rewarded and even pardoned as civilians."

Now the few male slaves hiding behind the stele couldn't stand anymore.

A slave in cracked leather armor with a face full of plaster stepped out boldly, and knelt down to Ye Xi with a plop, his upper body lying down deeply.

"May I ask Lord Xiwu, what kind of contribution is enough to be pardoned as a commoner?"

The civilians in Xicheng can bend down and salute when they see the high-level officials, but the slaves must kneel down and lie on their stomachs.

The shamans or chiefs in Xicheng are relatively peaceful and generally don’t embarrass slaves, while the upper echelons of some tribes are full of hostility, and sometimes order a slave to be executed if they don’t like it, and some even take pleasure in torturing slaves.

The Zhi tribe used to be like this, countless slaves died at their hands, so these Zhi tribe slaves wanted to leave as soon as they saw Ye Xi.

This can be regarded as saving others by oneself.

"Shi Ge, you..."

The other slaves didn't expect their companions to be so bold, they called out the slave's name in panic, and then all of them came out and knelt down towards Ye Xi, their upper body lying deeply on the snow.

The surrounding tribesmen were full of anger because a slave dared to interrupt Ye Xi's words,

Everyone's face was ashen, staring at Shi Ge coldly.

Ye Xi was not angry, and lowered his head with a peaceful face, looked at the slave Shi Ge who was still buried in front of him, and replied,

"For example, find the origin stone to dedicate to Xicheng, for example, defend Xicheng desperately when encountering enemies in Xicheng, for example, find a crop with a particularly high yield... as long as it is beneficial to Xicheng, it is fine."

"Master Xie Xiwu!!"

After Shi Ge got the answer, he immediately kowtowed several times to Ye Xi, but he was still lying on the ground and did not dare to get up.

At this time, a female slave boldly said: "Xi...Master Xiwu, I also have a question to ask you, I wonder if it is okay?"

This female slave was obviously not as courageous as Shi Ge, her body was shaking violently from fear.

Ye Xi was much more lenient towards women, and said gently: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask, you should get up first."

The animal fur coat on this female slave was thin and tattered, her cheeks were thin and slightly sunken, her ten fingers were as red and swollen as carrots from the cold, she looked miserable.

In fact, Xicheng treated female slaves more preferentially, and would not let female slaves do heavy work, and the distribution of food and furs was never short, but the condition of female slaves was often worse than that of male slaves.

Because most of their food and fur were snatched away by stronger male slaves.

If Ye Xi really wanted to manage this situation, he could manage it.

But no matter what is more beneficial to Xicheng.

So Ye Xi didn't take any action, just let the situation continue to develop, and the female slaves gradually began to hate the male slaves who were of the same race, and became alienated from each other.

After all, according to the current regulations, most of the female slaves are likely to become official Xicheng people. If they still have deep feelings for their own race by then, and even help the male slaves escape, then Xicheng will be in constant trouble in the future.

Hearing Ye Xi's gentle voice, the female slave calmed down a little, and she stopped trembling when she spoke.

But she still didn't dare to get up, buried her head deeply and said, "I want to ask, Master Xiwu, are the children born to our slaves entrusted to us to take care of ourselves?"

Ye Xi: "No, we will take care of it."

The female slaves who heard it breathed a sigh of relief, and the last bit of worry disappeared.

Who wouldn't want to get rid of slavery, but their own survival is difficult enough, and it is impossible to raise three more children, and the children are very likely to starve to death.

Now that Xicheng will take care of her, that would be great.

"Actually, Article 65 of the Code will mention this."

Ye Xi looked up at the stele and read: "Slaves under the age of five, children born to female slaves, and children born to non-partners will be sent to the 'young tower' that is responsible for raising these children. Upbringing, those who have reached the age of thirteen, or those who pass the test can leave the young tower and have autonomy."

When everyone heard this, they all shouted from the bottom of their hearts.

"Master Xiwu is merciful!!"

After a while, a tribal man stood up hesitantly, gritted his teeth, saluted Ye Xi, and asked, "Master Xi Wu, you said that princess slaves should not be executed arbitrarily..."

His eyes gradually turned red, and his whole body trembled: "But the people of the Zhi tribe once cruelly tortured our people, they even didn't spare our tribe's babies...I hate some slaves of the Zhi tribe, I can't wait to kill you..."

Speaking of this, he burst into tears, his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he couldn't speak any more.

There was silence all around.

Ye Xi spoke forcefully, one word at a time: "People in Xicheng don't need to bully the weak and cruel people to be their clansmen. Killing these slaves does not meet the word 'at will', and it is not considered a violation of Article 63. code."

The tribal people were overjoyed and asked urgently: "What about the private slaves? Some hateful people have been assigned as private slaves, and they should also be punished!"

Ye Xi glanced at him: "Private slaves are other people's property, you have no right to kill them, but you can exchange your property with the other party for private slaves."

"……yes!"

Ye Xi withdrew his gaze and said to the others: "If you have any questions, you can ask me together."

Tutun's mind is also more flexible, and he speaks without any scruples. He asked: "Master Xiwu, what if someone robs someone, but the person who robs insists that he did not rob, and refuses to admit that he has robbed, what should we do?"

Ye Xi glanced at him appreciatively, smiled and said, "We will set up an adjudication office, and the adults in the adjudication office will handle these disputes together. I believe that no one will be wronged."

"The adjudication office will also have Buwu Wu taking turns to sit in charge. If the problem cannot be solved, I will leave it to them to judge."

Bu Wu!

Everyone was shocked.

The ability of the Bu Wu is mysterious and unpredictable, and the Bai Gui Wu can even faintly predict natural disasters. This kind of trivial matter of judging whether it is a lie, presumably the Bu Wu has the means to solve it.

Tutun really admired him now, and boasted: "Lord Xiwu is really thoughtful!"

Ye Xi smiled slightly, and glanced at the others: "Do you have any other questions?"

There was silence all around.

Everyone couldn't think of anything else to ask.

At this time, a childish voice suddenly sounded: "Yes!"

Ye Xi turned his head and looked, it turned out that it was the little Mudou riding on his father's back who was talking. Little Mudou was only two years old, and his little face was raised chubby, hidden in the furry fur coat, looking very cute .

It's not easy for such a young child to survive the migration, Ye Xi's eyes softened: "Tell me."

Mudou raised his head and pointed to the top line of writing on the stele, "What is written in this line?"

The font size on the top line is particularly large, and Ye Xi even carved the strokes with a carving knife himself, which looks powerful and beautiful, and immediately attracted Xiao Mudou's attention.

Ye Xi touched his little head.

"This line says," his expression slowly became more solemn, "—may the light of civilization shine on the earth, and the glory of the human race will last forever."
