C15 Slaves and ants
"Master, great-uncle, other than the farmers with Myriad Beasts Mountain, is there anyone else in this world who has not been oppressed and exploited?" Zhuo Quan suddenly asked after eating his fill.
"Oppressed and exploited? "What is it?" The two tens of thousands of old men looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
"Oh, you don't know that. Let's put it this way, for example, the dishes that you've grown, if you don't dare to eat them, you'll sell them all to someone else. They said that no matter what price it was, they would be able to get it all, and they might not even be able to receive all the money. He could only eat the leftover rotten leaves and leaves, and also had to pay the person who gave him the land to grow vegetables. He said that he would rent the land, and if he couldn't pay the money, he would double the expiration date. A man like that is an exploited man. " Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to understand, he explained.
"This can be considered as exploitation. What's worse than this?" Old Ghost asked.
"Worse? It can't be? Is this still a slave society? " Zhuo Quan said in shock.
"Slave society? I've never heard of it. " Nangong Kaiyun shook his head and said.
"It means that in a society where there are slaves, there is no freedom of the person. If one does not eat well, if one does not sleep well, one must be beaten up or scolded. They do not dare to resist, and their masters can even kill them as if they were chickens and dogs …"
"You're talking about ants, right? Everywhere. Other than Myriad Beasts City, all the families of the world's wealthiest had it. In some places, the amount of family clans is not more than the amount of money, only more than the number of ants in some families. " Old Ghost snatched Zhuo Quan's words.
"Kid, why did you suddenly ask about this?" Nangong Kaiyun asked suspiciously.
"I want to free these people! Oh, I'm going to save these people and set them free. "He has a land seed, and clothes to wear. He won't be bullied by others." Zhuo Quan said firmly.
"You want to save these people?" The two old men were stunned.
"What are these people saving? They were born with this fate. They were all the wealth of their masters. Some were bought with money, some were passed down from their ancestors, and their later generations would always have the same fate. What's the use of you saving them? " Old Ghost asked.
"Master, you are a chivalrous hero, don't you think these people are pitiful?" Zhuo Quan asked.
"Yes, it's pitiful, but everyone in this world thinks that it's normal! If one were to really dislike them, it would be fine to go to those small factions to save one or two. However, who would dare to offend those large clans and large sects? That was equivalent to stealing their wealth! Besides, even if he saved them, how would he deal with them? How could he support them? "Hehe, kid, you're thinking too much. Practice hard, don't think about such things." The Old Ghost said.
"No, master, uncle. As I said, I am a man of my word. Saving these people is the ultimate goal of my life. As for the other principles, I don't want you to talk too much about them. Master, uncle, you're not saying that you want revenge, are you? Do you all want to report this as soon as possible? But if you put your hopes on me alone, how long will it take?
As the saying goes, a good man cannot fight three hands. With so many enemies, let's not even talk about killing them. There should be enough enemies, right? What about our people? Just the few of us? Will anyone be willing to help us? Do we dare to ask for help? Will they help?
Alright, let's not talk too much. Tell me what I think. I just want to rescue them, organize them, train them, and have them save another group of people, batch by batch. We regard them as people, as friends, as family. What do you think they will do to us? When our manpower reaches a certain point, not only will we take revenge, we will also have our own world, a world where everyone is equal! What can't we do? "
"Wait, wait, boy. "Cough." Nangong Kaiyun interrupted Zhuo Quan.
"Are you saying that we lack manpower to take revenge, and want to rescue some of them, train them, then have these people go save another group of people, then train the people we save, and then save another group of people? But do you know how many snakes my family had back then … No, a slave?
My family has a population of a hundred thousand, as well as twenty thousand slaves. That's because my family doesn't always let slaves do everything, and my own people do some work as well. For example, some families with a population similar to my own have far more slaves than mine. Some families have even more slaves than their own clansmen.
Generally speaking, the clans would train these slaves so that they could compete with each other for their own benefits. First, they were sent to fight. They were very obedient and very hardworking. But in the end, the problem could only be solved with the appearance of their own people. They could not handle it at all. Slaves were slaves, after all. "Hehe." Nangong Kaiyun laughed.
"No, uncle, that is because you have forgotten one basic principle, equality.
You do not see them as equals, but as tools. Don't let them think, try to restrain them, just listen to you, don't let them do things. He didn't allow them to become stronger in terms of cultivation, suppressing them at every turn.
It can be said that they don't have a shred of hope for their safety or freedom in your home. Facing people with the same fate, why would they put their all into fighting? How could he display his own wisdom and think of ways to defeat others? When they fought with each other, they basically acted like they wanted to. They really wanted to quickly defeat them so that your master could go up on stage and fight as soon as possible. "
"Brat, wait a moment." I have seen many families train ants. Oh, they are slaves, and their strength far surpasses their masters. Furthermore, when they are helping their masters, they are also doing their best. You haven't seen this before, so don't spout nonsense.
But I'm interested in one thing you said. To give them freedom, to let them think for themselves? Interesting.
I remember that year when I met a heavily injured slave. I felt that his cultivation was very high and his quality was not bad, so I wanted to bring him along to my side and saved him.
But then he left me and went back to his master. When he left, he said to me, Thank you for saving him, but he is a man without a mind, he has no life, he is a tool, and although I have saved him, the next time we meet, if his master wants to kill me, he will do everything in his power to kill me.
Didn't he hate his master? Doesn't he thank me? I don't believe it. But he was a tool, a tool for speech. They would do whatever their master told them to do, and they would never help their master think of a way to make suggestions. Moreover, if the people of this world knew that someone was listening to their slave's advice, it would be a huge joke. Oh, it's too far away. Now, from what you've said, it's probably a question of freedom. " Old Ghost snatched Zhuo Quan's words.
"Master is right, it's actually a question of freedom. If a man had no hope of freedom, what else could he think? What else could he think? Just live with an animal's fear of death. What else could he create? What else can I do? " Zhuo Quan said.
"Alright, let's not talk too much about it. Brat, I am in favor of you trying to find people." I also know that these helpers must have been groomed by themselves to feel at ease. "Then, how about we find some orphans right now and raise them?" Nangong Kaiyun said.
"Fostering orphans is also one of our goals. But I still think it would be better to train the rescued slaves. Cultivating orphans, unable to find so many people in a short period of time, spent a lot of energy to find them.
As for training slaves, wasn't that something that could be found anywhere? We have clearly told them that it is to save them from the sea of suffering, to free them, to allow their own future generations to turn over once and for all. They were people who had suffered and suffered, and they knew what it was to be free.
So, when we give him all the help we need without seeking their reward, they try to help us, and they think ahead of us that when we have any difficulties, they put our difficulties above all of them. " Zhuo Quan said.
"Mm, that makes sense. How about this, after a period of time, let Nangong recover his power. I don't think the eighteen hundred of them in this place will attract much attention.
We shouldn't fight for the rest, but one thing that we came here for is to nurture a group of our own. This, it's really you who reminded me earlier. "Hehe." Old Ghost smiled and said to Zhuo Quan.
"That's true. In this space, staying one thousand eight hundred people wasn't a big problem. It was time to begin training a group of people. But how did this person get here? " Nangong Kaiyun said.
"Snatch!" Old Ghost and Zhuo Quan said at the same time.
"Steal?" How was he going to snatch it? Oh, you're still talking about stealing an ant? " Nangong Kaiyun asked.
"Right." Zhuo Quan said. First, he took a few small clans and brought all of their slaves here, killing their masters and letting those slaves see their masters' blood. "Although I don't understand this world, I think these masters should have a way to control the slaves. If they don't kill their masters, the slaves would still be like the person their masters saved, and they would still go back."
"This is killing the innocent, boy." The Old Ghost said.
Didn't Master say before that this was a world of martial dao, the law of the jungle? Moreover, it's better for us to make inquiries beforehand and attack those families that have committed heinous acts. As for how they were brought in, I'm sure you'll find a way. I want to gather a group of people as soon as possible to have a look and understand some things. " "Zhuo said firmly.
"Fine, Nangong. If we want to achieve something big, we have to take some stepping stones. You can go and recover your strength later. You should still do these things first. It's still as you said. How do you know without trying? Let's try it out first, it won't harm us in any way. "Come, Nangong, take this." Old Ghost took out a black bottle as he spoke.
"Thank you very much. Myriad Spirit Pill? Old Ghost, how did you get them? " He opened the lid of the black bottle, and a strong smell of medicine permeated the air. Nangong Kaiyun's hands trembled a little.
"If I don't feel any heartache, why are you so nervous? The people from Cloud Residue Sect are stealing other people, while I, Yellow Bird, stole Cloud Residue Sect from behind, it's that simple. " Old Ghost rolled his eyes and said. It hurt a lot!
"Master, what can this pill do?" Zhuo Quan asked.
"This Myriad Spirit Pill can only be refined with Hundred Herbs Sect. It is a medicine used to guard the Hundred Herbs Sect. A cauldron would only produce one pill in a hundred years, so the number of pills required to form a cauldron was not much. Usually, there would be three to five pills! There had been a time when someone in the world had spent a lot of money to purchase something from Hundred Herbs Sect, but even then, that person was unwilling to do so.
Although it could not bring the dead back to life, it had basically gained another life of its own. Because no matter how severely injured a person was, even if they were about to die, as long as there was a sliver of life left, consuming it would be fine.
Furthermore, if one encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation, consuming it would increase one's chances of breaking through. And its ability to clear out meridians could help him recover his strength.
This medicine had a special characteristic, that when warriors below the Genuine Martial Body consumed it, not only would it not work, it could even explode and kill them. This is because it is so powerful that it can no longer withstand the impact that it has on one's meridians. " The Old Ghost said.
Old Ghost went into closed door cultivation. After Nangong Kaiyun consumed the pill, in order to prevent the disturbance during his recovery from affecting his cultivation, he set up a barrier himself. Zhuo Quan was unable to see the recovery situation.
Even though Zhuo Quan knew that his great-uncle would be fine, he still felt a burst of nervousness in his heart. In addition, he knew that there were many slaves in this world. Thinking about the miserable lives of slaves made him very uncomfortable.
Thus, he stopped practicing and sat on the ground to look at the barrier.
Looks like the road in the future will be difficult! In this world, there were only a few people who were as open-minded as their master! The social phenomena in this world were deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts. They hadn't even been persuaded by their uncles yet, so how could they make others believe in them?
Therefore, he was eager to see and understand a group of slaves.
After all, slaves were different from the poor people in his previous life. Those people also had the most basic personal freedom, while the slaves had nothing but the tools to vent their anger.
He remembered that when he was doing the work of a commoner, he had come to slowly understand them and eventually persuade them. Therefore, the key was to see the slaves, communicate with them, understand the pain in their hearts, and understand the dreams they had buried in their hearts. That was the key!
"What's wrong with me? How can you be so disturbed by such a trifling matter? " Zhuo Quan suddenly became alert!
He had not even started and he was already in chaos. Then, what else could he do in the future? My current mission is to increase my own strength! Without strength, what was the use of just thinking? My state of mind is still not good, suppress! I want to cultivate! Zhuo Quan suddenly flew up, rolling and jumping on the ladder like a spirit monkey.
