On the pasture, Zhao Yanhuan asked people to gather all the slaves responsible for grazing cattle and sheep.
These slaves were not registered in the official register and were not found by the government. They were equivalent to living in seclusion.
According to the rules, the registered slaves have been taken away by the government and prepared for official sale.
When Zhao Yanhuan went to give gifts to Feng Baoling, Feng Baoling also asked her whether to keep the slaves taken away by the government so that she would not have anyone to use them.
However, Zhao Yanhuan politely declined, and all the slaves who could be registered were those who could be used by the master's family.
Being able to be reused by a master like the Wang family means that the slaves in this show are all bastards and are responsible for helping the Wang family oppress the people. Zhao Yanhuan does not want such slaves.
The Wang family's pasture is very large, with more than 100,000 sheep grazing and nearly 50,000 cattle.
With so many cattle and sheep, there are naturally a lot of slaves responsible for herding them. The total number is less than 5,000, of which more than 3,000 are young and strong men and women, and the rest are old and weak.
It can be seen that these slaves have a very bad life. Many slaves are even naked and walk out naked, and there are both men and women.
As for whether being naked is unethical, why don't you feel ashamed? When basic survival cannot be guaranteed, it is inappropriate to talk about etiquette and shame.
These slaves are all skinny and have numb expressions on their faces.
Their eyes were dark, like abyss without any light, making people feel uncomfortable just looking at them.
When Zhao Yanhuan made arrangements to give gifts to officials and receive land, Li Qing also rushed to Yi'an Prefecture.
This time, Li Qing brought nearly a hundred of his students and hundreds of nurses to the pasture, preparing to examine the slaves' health, diagnose and treat their illnesses.
As a modern person, Li Qing felt very sad every time he saw the miserable appearance of these slaves.
Every time at this time, Li Qing is very happy that he has a powerful daughter who can help the people she sees in front of her and take care of the people in the world in the future.
Thinking like this, Li Qing looked at his high-spirited daughter beside him, and couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on his face.
Zhao Yanhuan stood on the high platform that had been built, looking down at the numb slaves who gathered around the high platform.
These slaves didn't care whether they changed masters or not. No matter who the master was, their life was not easy, so they just gathered around passively, waiting for the new master to lecture them.
Zhao Yanhuan didn't say anything false, but directly talked about the benefits.
For slaves who have been tempered by life and cannot think, any encouraging words are not as useful as directly giving them hope for a better life.
So the first thing Zhao Yanhuan said was: "I know that you are all slaves of the Wang family and your life is hard. The Wang family doesn't treat you as human beings. They make you work hard and even beat and scold you."
"Even when the mood comes, they will gather together with their friends and shoot slaves like you for fun. Your days will be darkness where you cannot see the light."
"But here, there are no slaves, no beatings, and no need to worry about being killed for fun one day. You are all my people, and I value every one of your lives."
"From now on, all young people who can work, regardless of gender, will receive fifty kilograms of coarse grains for every month of work. If you don't want coarse grains, you can also choose to get three hundred copper coins. Those who work best will be rewarded with ten more eggs every month. , or choose half a catty of meat.”
Light shines from the abyss! The slaves' numb expressions disappeared and turned into excitement.
Some slaves couldn't believe it. They looked at Zhao Yanhuan and carefully confirmed: "Master, is this true? Are you really giving us food and money?"
Zhao Yanhuan affirmed: "Not only will I give you food and money, but I will also give you free medical treatment when I come today."
Having said this, Zhao Yanhuan walked up to Li Qing and said, "This is my mother. She is a doctor with good medical skills. Those people are my mother's disciples."
"It's a hard life to be a slave. You don't have enough food or clothing to keep warm. You have to work all the time. Each of you should have some diseases in your body, but your master doesn't pay attention to them, and you don't care about them."
"So my mother brought her disciples here to treat you. Don't worry, I won't charge you for medical treatment or medicine."
"In the future, I will also build a medical clinic on the grassland. When you earn wages, you can go to the medical clinic to see a doctor and get medicine. Of course, you don't have to worry about the cost of medical treatment. I guarantee that everyone in the future will be able to afford medical treatment."
The slaves were shocked again. Not only were they given wages and food, but they were also given free medical treatment!
In the future, medical centers will be built specifically for them so that they can afford medical treatment, which means the medical expenses will not be very expensive.
Too many good things happened, which made the slaves' heads unable to react for a while, and no one spoke for a long time.
Until one of the young women broke the almost solid atmosphere with a gentle word: "I just had a sweet dream!"
Zhao Yanhuan couldn't help but let out a chuckle and said, "Then your dream will probably last a lifetime."
Awakened by the words of Zhao Yanhuan and the young woman, all the slaves were excited. A group of them knelt down in front of Zhao Yanhuan, kowtowed and said words of gratitude, and burst into tears of excitement.
Zhao Yanhuan quickly ordered his guards to help people up one by one, and persuaded them: "Get up quickly, stop kowtowing, and line up to see a doctor first..."
Hundreds of guards struggled for a long time before they could help these excited slaves up.
The guards had already set up more than a dozen tables. Li Qing and her disciples were treating the slaves together. There were long queues in front of more than a dozen tables.
Someone set up a stove nearby and cooked porridge on the spot. When it was time to eat, all the slaves could receive a bowl of porridge.
The slaves lined up to receive a large bowl of porridge. The porridge was very thick and had minced meat in it. Although it was not much, it had a meaty flavor and was very delicious.
The slaves were crying while eating. They were moved and happy. Until now, the slaves had no hope of living because the life was too hard and they were not very afraid of death.
The world is like purgatory, naturally there is nothing to miss.
Even the sadness of separation between life and death seems to have formed a cocoon because I have experienced too much and been pulled too much, and it has begun to become numb.
Some people are even glad that their relatives are gone, at least they don't have to suffer in this purgatory.
But now, for the first time, they felt the warmth of the world and the beauty of being alive.
This gave them hope for their future lives for the first time. For the first time, they began to yearn for the future and happiness, and this happiness was within easy reach.
