It is not that Mongolian nobles think that this is a conspiracy of the Han people, who intends to make the Mongolians degenerate for enjoyment.
But the advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are too far.
After all, the Han people will send salt and sugar, and there are many things that the grassland does not have. In the past, only nobles could own things. Now ordinary Mongols can also change them. What is worthless here can be exchanged by merchants A lot of money.
The nobles will also receive gifts from merchants.
Of course it is not free, but for them it is just a matter of two sentences to get expensive silk, exquisite jewelry and real gold and silver.
Anyway, they won't sell their war horses and weapons, so why not do it?
You can get benefits without paying a price.
Would it be possible to drive away the merchants and kill the merchants so that they can live better than they are now?
Impossible!
And the previously worthless slaves are also valuable.
The price of a slave can be compared to a cow.
And slaves are better to raise than cows. Slaves raise themselves and raise them casually, but the number of slaves has never been less.
In their eyes, slaves are beasts, and they are not even as good as beasts. When beasts are raised, they can kill and eat meat. What about slaves?
Slaves were also willing to be bought by merchants.
Although they had to work after they were bought, more and more slaves knew that as long as they paid the merchants' money, they could be free people in the Han city and own their own property.
Scar is such a slave. The slave does not have a name. He was called by other slaves because of a cut on his face. He was born five big and three thick, and he was always hungry, but he looked stronger than other slaves. .
Because of this, he was picked away by the businessman.
But his Eji was not taken away. Eji was already very old when he was born. Fortunately, the owner was kind and did not throw away his Eji. Before leaving, he promised Eji that he would become a free citizen. , He came back to pick her up.
He doesn't know who his Abu is, slaves are like this.
I only know my mother, not my father, and sometimes I don't even know who my mother is.
Scar just followed the merchant like this. Sometimes he would carry goods like a cow and horse, and still sleep and eat.
But unlike before, he can eat enough, and the new owner is a very powerful adult. He does business with the nobles and will return to the Han city after doing business.
Scar is the first time he has entered a Han city. He walks with the slave who was picked out with him.
"The walls of the Han people are so high." The companion had a new name, Tiger, which he took by himself.
Scar also looked up at the city wall. He had never seen such a high wall.
When they followed the caravan into the city, it was like coming to another world.
The street is wide and clean, and the ground is like stone, but not stone.
The newly made cement has a very good application effect. Although it does not have the leveling of modern cement, it has already enhanced the effect of soil cement.
Many people were talking beside the street.
There are Han and Mongolians.
They wore different clothes and spoke different accents, but they didn't oppose each other.
Those Mongolians knew they were slaves at first glance.
Scar looked at the Mongols and then at his hands.
The tiger asked him next to him: "You said, when will we pay back the owner's money?"
Scar: "The master said, I can pay it off by one more run."
"Then you can exchange for a deed."
Scar grinned, which made him look more ferocious: "After changing the deed, you can get your wages, and you can pick me up."
An old female slave is worthless.
Scar can take his mother to this city without saving much money.
The merchant rented a house in the city, scared ten of them to sleep in a room.
This is the first time Scar has slept in the house and bed. Although the mat is used, it is a bed.
It was the bed he had never slept in.
The tiger ran into the house excitedly and grabbed the bunk in the back.
Scar was sleeping next to the tiger.
Nobody in one room slept at night, they were all slaves.
They were all bought by merchants, and the slave who followed the merchant the longest had been with the merchant for almost a year.
He would talk to these new slaves about the city before going to bed.
"Can't fight," said the slave named Beard. "Fighting will be caught, locked up, without a bed or blanket."
The slaves listened carefully to what the beard said.
The beard said again: "When you get the deed, you can go to the county office to register, and you will have your household registration in the future."
Beard was a little proud: "I already have a household registration, and the master said that I can buy a house in one more year."
"I also took over my Eji and Aha from the original owner." Beard said to them, "I will take you to my house tomorrow if nothing is wrong."
The slaves were shocked: "Didn't you say that you can work for another year to buy a house?"
Beard: "Yes, but I have a household registration, so I can rent a house."
The next day, the slaves did not wait for the merchant's order, which meant that they could arrange the whole day by themselves.
They have holidays because the employment system stipulates that in addition to statutory holidays, they must have one day off every seven days.
Today is a rare holiday.
There are no holidays after entering the grassland, but the wages will be more than in the city.
Therefore, the slaves wanted to follow the merchants into the grassland as soon as possible, so that they could become free people and own their own property earlier.
The bearded Eji and Aha live in the southern part of the county seat, where the rent of the house is cheaper, and there are both Han and Mongolians.
The house he rented is not big, but there is a yard.
Scar looked enviously, because there was still a tree in the yard of Beard. I didn't know what it was or what fruit it would bear, but Scar was still very envious.
He thinks he should have such a tree if he rents a house in the future.
"Du!" The man who looked like a beard threw out and hugged his brother.
The beard was also very happy, patted the man on the back: "Aha! Where is Eji?"
The man smiled and said: "Eji is cooking, saying that she has learned the craftsmanship of the Han people and wants to eat for us."
Beard introduced Scar them to the man again.
The man was the bearded brother, and he was not picked away by the businessman at the time because one of his legs was lame.
The man also has a name, which was taken by his lover. His lover is a local. Because it is close to the grassland, the folkway here is very tough. This girl is the only daughter in the family. She works in a textile factory in the city. All live on her income.
So she found a Mongolian slave to be her lover, and the family had no other way even if she didn't agree.
She called him Ping An, and men also liked this name.
"I'm learning crafts now," Ping An said. "Although I am lame, I want to be a cook."
Scars, their eyes widened: "You can cook?"
Ping An smiled: "I am learning."
Although the legs are inconvenient, he still has strength in his hands, and it is not as good as others to carry goods. Cooking and cooking is still possible.
Scar they had a day like a dream.
They realized that slaves could live like this, and the merchant did not lie to them.
As long as they work hard, they can become free people and take their loved ones.
But Scar still asked Beard: "Don't the Han people bully you?"
These slaves are different from ordinary Mongols. They don't know the outside world, they don't have any deep hatred of the Han people, and they don't think they were the masters of the Central Plains.
There are big differences between tribes and tribes, not to mention slaves and ordinary Mongols.
Beard said: "Bullying."
Scar them scared.
The beard said: "The best is to cut us less when buying meat."
The beard laughed: "But after getting familiar with it, it won't work."
"Learn to laugh." The beard was serious. "The Han people say it makes sense to reach out and not hit the smiley!"
In the beard's mouth, this small Han Chinese border town is a very remarkable place.
Han and Mongolian people can live and work together, and Mongolian children can also go to school with Han children. There is no charge but only textbook fees, which are very cheap.
If you do well, you can get a scholarship to earn money for your family.
Beard also said that he will get married in the future and have many children.
Then the child has another child, and he can take root in this small city.
Scar they soon learned that Ping An had a Chinese lover.
When Ping An finds a job, they will get married, and Ping will enter the wife's house.
They were very envious after listening.
"After entering the family, I will belong to their family." Ping An smiled happily.
Scar: "Does your lover treat you well?"
Ping An nodded: "She is a bit fierce."
Beard laughed beside him.
Ping An glared at his younger brother and said, "But sometimes he is very gentle."
"She is the best girl I have ever seen."
Scar they have only seen female slaves. Like them, female slaves have to do a lot of work, unclothed and skinny.
And slave owners don't like female slaves, unless they are beautiful and can be dedicated to nobles.
Otherwise, when food is in short supply, female slaves will be thrown away.
Scar they soon saw Ping An lover.
She is a very ordinary Han girl with small eyes and nose. She does not wear a Han girl's skirt, but pants.
Many women now wear this way because it is convenient for work.
The town used to be closed and poor. Since the merchants came, the town has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Women from all walks of life have found work.
The same goes for men. The men and women in the family work together, and the skirts that are not convenient for work are put away.
After all, the folk customs are sturdy and simple, and no one insists on talking to them.
This girl is here to lead a safe journey.
She only got off work at this time, which is close to the factory. After get off work, she will come to find Ping An, and Ping will send her home.
Wait for Ping An to send the lover to leave.
They said, "It's so good."
The beard was triumphant: "Fortunately I was singled out by the master!"
Otherwise, he is still on the grassland, living like a cow and a horse until the day when he is exhausted.
It is not that Mongolian nobles think that this is a conspiracy of the Han people, who intends to make the Mongolians degenerate for enjoyment.
But the advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are too far.
After all, the Han people will send salt and sugar, and there are many things that the grassland does not have. In the past, only nobles could own things. Now ordinary Mongols can also change them. What is worthless here can be exchanged by merchants A lot of money.
