Chapter 118: Being a slave, a servant

To the north of Luyuan, where horses drink in the Mang Mountain stream, between the mountain spring and the mountain valley where the Luoshui branch flows, this place was circled by Liu Cang, and the surrounding low mountains were already worm-eaten. This place was where Liu Cang raised badgers.

Although to the outside world, this is Liu Cang's new Badger Cave. However, the ground here is paved with sand and gravel, and you can see crawling turtles from time to time beside a short pool in a mountain col that looks like a small lake.

This lake is located in a mountain valley but connected to Luoshui. People in Luyuan followed Liu Cang and called it Xuanwu Pond. Because the lake was clean and there were sand and gravel made by badgers, people only thought that Liu Cang had prepared this place for themselves.

A place to play in the water.

By the Xuanwu Pond, Hissing Feng walked and drank water. The hero held a turtle huddled in its shell and licked and gnawed it. Liu Cang sat on a rock and threw a stone at the hero to drive it away. He soaked his feet in the water.

Liu Cang held a turtle the size of a basin and looked back and forth.

At this time, Liu Cang had a strange expression, and he didn't know whether he was happy or distressed. This rather large turtle was actually Liu Cang's spiritual beast, Banzhuan.

Turtles can be regarded as the earliest animals that Liu Cang raised. Their maturation cycle is extremely long, but because of their strong survivability, even before they discovered that they have the effect of improving life activity, Liu Canglu picked up many of them one after another.

.

In the breeding system, the maturity period is the time standard necessary to produce spiritual marrow. Liu Cang calls this cycle the breeding cycle.

After completing this time cycle, the production of spiritual marrow becomes stable, and all animals basically reproduce as if they were reproduced, and can be extracted every year.

Now that Liu Cang has completed the breeding cycle, the number of turtles that have reached the second level is about 300, and it will take another 100 or so three to five years to produce spiritual essence.

The remaining 1,800 were purchased after arriving in Luoyang, and are now left in the Xuanwu Pond by Liu Cang. Someone in Luyuan is responsible for preparing food for them and putting them in regularly. It will take seven or eight years for them to complete the feeding cycle.

Turtles increase vitality, but their physical enhancement is very low.

Considering that the second-level effects of this thing are also quite terrifying, in order to avoid arousing suspicion through the large-scale acquisition, Liu Cang no longer deliberately lets people search for it, and only says that it is his own interest that brings blessings to the outside world.

The reason why bricks are called bricks is because their original shape is the size of bricks.

But when Liu Cang tried to throw all the stored spiritual marrow into it earlier and raised it to level four, the guy shed its skin layer by layer like it was inflated, and it grew to the size of a washbasin.

Turtle meat: quality 4, lifespan: 31/300, physical gain: 0-50, slightly strengthens the vitality of the eater, and enhances the eater's breathing ability to a certain extent.

Grade 4 bricks cannot be eaten.

It has more lifespan data than at level three. Liu Cang has already seen this on fighting chickens. However, compared to level four chickens, not only does the turtle's body shape change greatly, but its attribute data has also changed a lot.

What was originally a trace-moderate amount of enhancing cell vitality and metabolism has turned into enhancing life activity. Although the concept is still the same, it has obviously completed a stage of promotion.

Putting Brick down and patting its protruding head, Brick swayed into the pool. Liu Cang stood up, picked up his boots, rode on the wind, and left the mountain col with the heroes chasing him.

Liu Cang is here to upgrade the bricks. A fence has been erected around the mountain col. Groups of wolverines are the guards here. The reputation of Badger Zi'ao has spread nearby, and occasionally Luyuan's cavalry will be nearby.

Let the horses go, no outsiders have come near here for a long time.

Turtle is developing well. Cai Yong's youthful appearance has changed a lot. It is difficult for outsiders to know the decline. The most important thing is that the tendency of gray hair to turn black is too obvious. Now Liu Cang doesn't dare to let him eat turtle randomly. Anyway, he is in good health.

That's great, we'll see what happens in a few years.

It finally stabilized, and there were 2,000 pigs and sheep in the Deer Garden, all of which were young ones purchased this year.

Apart from the horses that Liu Cang had scavenged from everywhere and the dozen or so oxen that he picked up from Xingjia Village, Liu Cang's group of spirit beasts were the only ones left in the Luyuan.

The main work direction of the refugees recruited by Liu Cang is to rough up the surrounding wasteland to make it suitable for raising pasture.

Reading at midnight

Water channels, more independent houses, including wells, etc. When these infrastructures are slightly improved, it will be the turn to select some places to cultivate food crops.

Regarding reclamation of wasteland, Liu Cang has been hesitant about whether to proceed with it. Liu Hong is too greedy. Liu Cang is worried that if wasteland is opened here, Liu Hong will not be willing to give it to him.

Now that Zhang Rang was in charge of food supply, Liu Cang was still prepared to wait until Liu Hong died before considering the matter of reclamation in Luyuan.

Our Emperor is like a time bomb to Liu Cang. Under the eaves, with Zhang Rang standing in front of him, Liu Cang can only act dandy.

From the outside world, Liu Cang raised badgers and walked dogs, advocated force, and even raised livestock without caring much.

The thousands of maidservants in Luyuan are the Flying Bear Battalion that Liu Cang is preparing to train. The two hundred troops in Quyuan are Pan Feng's group of cavalry.

The remaining people are all domestic servants, of which 2,000 young men are trained by a hundred heavy armored infantry. Those who have completed the basic infantry training can be converted into qubu or retainers according to their own wishes.

Qubu life revolves around fighting and war-related training.

The "combat type" disciples are mostly raised by dead soldiers. If they are not combat type, they are more like the middle and lower management in production labor.

As for retainers, they are relatively high-end. "Retainers don't know the country." No one dares to scream at this time, so there is no need to say it for the time being.

There is a big difference between a domestic servant and a domestic slave, and the essence probably lies in the restrictions of the court's laws.

Thousands of maidservants were domestic slaves and were Liu Cang's private property. They served Liu Cang's family for life. If they escaped, the Han officials could arrest them.

Qubu is bound by military regulations, domestic servants, retainers, etc., which are more constraints on moral character.

If you are supported by Liu Cang and work for Liu Cang, if you deviate without any reason, you will often get a reputation of ungratefulness, be despised by those who know the truth, and have no trust, but you are not restricted by the law.

Well, actually Liu Cang wanted a domestic slave, but today's Han people are basically unwilling to be slaves if they don't have some emotional factors. If you dare to force him, he will dare to stab you.

How should I put it, Liu Cang was extremely wary of those Xiongnu with Han surnames, but in fact, Liu Cang’s thinking was closer to that of the Xiongnu.

To put it simply, Liu Cang admitted that his character and thinking were more like the Huns.

There is no way, who told him to come back through time with memories.

The subconscious mind is very important. It goes without saying what kind of information it will receive from past life enlightenment, education, work, life, etc.

Nowadays, the Han people pay attention to loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame. They must do what they say and stick to their word. They are not like my race. These guys are just group thinkers and there is no distinction between high and low.

So as long as people position themselves well, they dare to say anything. Many people sign up for a number and say that they are loyal.

When you talk about your ambitions, basically no one questions you.

If you say you want to be loyal, the other party will be happy.

Looks stupid, right? Just say it’s you, do you believe it or not?

But among the Han people of this era, he believed it.

If a person rebels, he will never be loyal again, or he will stand up again with bravery and wisdom. If he is loyal, he will often be ridiculed. This is the common sense of self-discipline of the Han people.

This is a code of conduct observed by ethnic groups and is also a part of Han civilization.

Liu Cang is still not used to this.

After all, the thoughts of his past life are hard to get rid of. Subconsciously, he still thinks that his words are unfounded, people's hearts are alienated, good people are not rewarded, and making money is not easy.

Liu Cang should not adapt too much to the Xiongnu civilization. The biggest difference between him and the Xiongnu is probably that he wants to preserve and maintain the current Han civilization.

This may be a miraculous birth of a splendid civilization by chance, but so-called miracles often have the characteristics of being extremely fragile and extremely difficult to recreate.

It is precisely because he is the best example that Liu Cang regards the inheritance of the Xiongnu in Han Dynasty as a disaster.

Especially when it comes to enlightenment, when faced with young people who have undecided concepts of good and evil, the complex and check-and-balance Han civilization is definitely a younger brother in the face of its corrosiveness.

Betrayal and profit will definitely give you the pleasure of gaining faster than loyalty.

When conditions permit, it is better to exploit blood-sucking than to maintain and accumulate what is comfortable.

Liu Cang prefers domestic slaves to domestic servants, and he also understands exploitation more easily than taking care of the place.

Intellectually, Liu Cang tried his best to follow the group consciousness and social rules of the Han Dynasty. He wanted to support the continuation and inheritance of Han civilization, but his subconscious was really very deadly.

Try to avoid yourself from enjoying the more comfortable and enjoyable way of thinking of some powerful people. After all, he is definitely capable of becoming the one who enjoys the squeeze now.

We should try to avoid the growth of the "remaining tyrants" and prevent them from affecting and changing the cognitive evaluation standards of the Han people today.

After all, Liu Cang himself knew best what everything on this land had become after the end of civilization.

It's completely different from some of the ideas I had at the beginning of time travel.

Today's Liu Cang absolutely does not want the modern rules in his mind that are more 'advanced', more 'humane', and more capable of making the people of the country 'rich, strong and happy' to have any impact on the land of Han Dynasty.

Those things should be buried in your subconscious mind, as deep as you can.

To recruit refugees, Liu Cang chose three generations of Han people, which cost him a lot of effort. In the end, he could only recruit a few thousand old and weak servants.

There are quite a few surviving members of the family who are willing to sell themselves and live in the family, but in Liu Cang's view, does the status of a domestic slave have an impact on them? Do they dare to train them? Can they trust them?

In addition to the group of women who became Liu Cang's slaves because of their family members, Liu Cang finally understood what the definition of domestic slaves was in Han people's perception.

If I ask for life from you, I will give you my life, and I will repay you with a spring of kindness. I can be a servant, I can sell my life, I can be loyal, I can follow you forever, and they may not even care about the good or evil of the person they are loyal to.

But that must be based on your own wishes, your own moral character, and your own qualities.

To put it bluntly, they pursue loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame, but in their hearts, moral qualities such as loyalty, filial piety, integrity and shame have nothing to do with domestic slaves. As domestic slaves, all the efforts they make are just as they should be.

It’s not that the Han people don’t have domestic slaves, most Han people don’t even mind enslaving foreigners as slaves.

It's just that in their understanding, if you voluntarily become someone else's domestic slave, a domestic slave, a domestic slave, since you are a slave, there is no need to talk about moral character. Unlimited giving is the only way to embody your moral character.

The Han people of this era were not that humane. They betrayed their master and were slaves, and people and gods were disgusted with them. It was a very bad and cruel perception.

Therefore, most Han people in this era are not slaves. It is not what the upper class does, but the common understanding of the lower class that makes them not easily become other people's domestic slaves.

The Han people are greedy. What they are greedy for is their own moral character and reputation, and what they are greedy for is their own status and legacy, because in today's social rules, these things can bring more benefits and benefits to them and their descendants.

The higher-ups dare not, and have no need, to kill the greed of their own people. What the upper-levels need to do is just stick to their own virtues and ambitions, so that more people think they are worthy of following and allegiance.

As for whether this kind of greed is good or bad? It is still a matter of opinion.

Liu Cang is not very adaptable to this. He is willing to believe it, but he is not very adaptable. This also causes Liu Cang to care more about Feixiong Camp even if they are a group of women with lower qualities and quality.

Liu Cang never thought about betrayal, but he could not help but think about being betrayed.

Keep your word? Keep your word? Alas, he is a little uneasy after all, so he likes to refer to the historical records of some people.

Is Cao Cao suspicious? Don't make trouble. Compared with people like Liu Cang, Boss Cao is just stupid and bold, okay?

Liu Cang, a time traveler, probably belongs to the group of people who are rotten to the core among today's Han people.
