Chapter 2699: The emperors order! (2/2)
Xu Zhicheng lowered his voice and said, ”You should know that many large worlds in the empire still retain the slave system. Those who are unfortunately slaves have the same miserable fate as us in the past, but the new emperor now declares that the four major families and their All the slaves controlled by the vassal family have obtained his permission and become free people! Even if these people rise up against their previous masters, they can still get part of the master's property and become citizens of the empire!”
”what!”
Bingbing and other underground teenagers were overjoyed, dancing and dancing, ”This, this is really great. In this way, the slaves controlled by the four major families will definitely come to our side and help our Majesty beat them together. Master!”
Xu Zhicheng nodded, and couldn't help but smile again.
Slavery has lasted for thousands of years in parts of the empire. How can a mere ”Abolition Order” be abolished?
The subtlety of this matter is that it is not only the four major families who keep a large number of slaves, but even the self-proclaimed reformist cultivators may not have few slaves in their families.
Especially the frontier warlords who fell to the reformists in the later period, the emperor Shan Gao is far away, which family did not keep thousands of slaves?
If all the slaves controlled by the four major electoral families can be restored to their freedom, then what about the slaves controlled by these reformist cultivators?
This matter is not trivial, and a slight mishandling will shake the foundation of the reformists.
Therefore, even when Wu Yingqi possessed Li Linghai and controlled the power of the reformists, he never thought of using the abolition of slavery to attack the four big families—because this was a tactic of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred.
The ”Abolition of Slave Order” issued by Xinjun is rather ambiguous about how to deal with slaves outside the four major clan territories. Although it did not force all immortals to liberate slaves, it did suggest that if someone ”voluntarily” The state will give very generous compensation to the liberation of one's own slaves, and the earlier the liberation, the more compensation.
Basically, the amount of compensation given by the state is slightly higher than the value created by a slave in ten years. The conditions are not unfavourable. There is only a small problem. The compensation cannot be settled on the spot. It can only be issued in the form of bonds. It must be completely resolved. The four big families will be able to cash out.
Obviously, Xinjun meant to replenish the treasury with the ointment-filled corpses of the four major families, and vigorously promote a series of reform policies, including the abolition of slavery.
Therefore, after the ”Amnesty Order” and the ”Abolition of Slavery Order”, the shocking ”Rebellion Mobilization Order” followed!
After ascending to the throne, with the thundering fleet and the arson fleet as the core, the original four-family royal fleet and the deep sea fleet as the backbone, the imperial forest army and the expeditionary army are flesh and blood, this magnificent and invincible king will be thunderous. , To kill the four major clans, quell the ”pseudo princes” and ”pseudo emperors” and completely restore the glory of the empire!
”Really...unexpected!”
Xu Zhicheng looked at the magnificent image of the new monarch in mid-air, and was filled with emotion. He couldn't imagine that the young man who was still fighting under the ground half a year ago would have come to this point.
Regardless of whether the ”Amnesty Order,” ”Abolition of Slavery Order,” and ”Mobilization Order” were meant by the boy himself, or by Li Yao and Lei Chenghu behind the boy, at least the new emperor and the new minister brought An unprecedented new atmosphere!
The only question is, do they really have enough strength to carry through this new atmosphere to the end?
This is not only a problem for Xu Zhicheng alone, but also a common problem for the thousands of immortal cultivators who participated in the enthronement ceremony.
The shock that Xinjun brought to them was stronger than that of any emperor in the past.
The ”Amnesty”, ”Abolition of Slavery” and ”Mobilization Order” will bring about earth-shaking changes that will even touch the deepest part of their flesh and blood and even their souls, causing them to undergo extremely painful changes.
Countless cultivators are hesitating, hesitating, hesitating, and thinking secretly how to make a move.
Some people even screamed from the bottom of their hearts--Is this little emperor crazy, just a puppet, who really thinks of himself as the emperor with all his promises and arbitrariness? To reconcile with the cultivators, but also to abolish slaves, and to attack the territories of the four major clans impatiently? Why!
It's no wonder that many immortal cultivators raise such doubts.
After all, before this, Xinjun was basically an unknown person. Except for the booklet made up by Li Yao and Long Yangjun biting the pen, no one knew what Xinjun had come from.
But, in the next second, they will all know!
