Chapter 453 (1/2)
With the sound of Ye Xi reciting the code of law.
Gradually, the slaves who had been hiding in the distance unwittingly came together and hid themselves behind the stone tablet. They raised their ears and listened attentively with others.
Ye Xi didn't like it either. He looked up at the towering stone tablet and continued to read: ”what's the matter with you?” According to Article 63 of the code of law, there is no reason why a public official shall not be executed at will, and those who violate the law will be punished with 80. ”
Now there are both private slaves and public officials in the tribes of Xicheng.
Private slaves are personal property, usually living in the master's stone house, life and death are determined by the master, this ye Xi is inconvenient to intervene.
However, Gongzhou belonged to the common property of Xicheng. They lived together in caves and needed to help Xicheng work. Ye Xi didn't want to see these slaves easily killed.
Ye Xi read down: ”Article 64 of the code, if a female slave gives birth to more than three children belonging to Xicheng people, then the female slave will be pardoned as a civilian.”
Hiding behind the stone tablet to listen to a few female slaves suddenly wide eyes, can not believe to look at each other.
Ye Xi continued: ”Article 64 of the code provides that slaves who have contributed to Xi City will be rewarded and even pardoned as civilians.”
The men who were hiding behind the stone tablet could not stand.
A slave, dressed in a cracked leather armor and covered with plaster, bravely stepped out and knelt down to Ye Xi with a thump, and his upper body was deeply prostrate.
”Dare to ask Master Xi Wu, what contribution is enough to be pardoned as a civilian?”
The common people in Xicheng could bow down to salute at the high level, but the slaves had to kneel down on their knees and prostrate themselves.
For example, the witches and chieftains in Xicheng were peaceful and did not embarrass slaves in general. However, the upper strata of some tribes were full of anger. Sometimes they ordered to be executed if they were not satisfied with a slave, or even amused themselves by torturing them.
* * the tribes that were once so were beyond count, so the tribal slaves wanted to leave at the sight of Ye Xi.
This can be regarded as self serving.
”Shige, you...”
The other slaves did not expect their companion to be so bold. They called out the slave's name in panic. Then they all came out and knelt down to Ye Xi. Their upper bodies were deeply on the snow.
All the tribesmen around were angry because a slave dared to interrupt Ye Xi's words. All of them were livid and staring at the stone dagger coldly.
Ye Xi was not angry. He looked down at the slave stone dagger still buried in front of him, and replied,
”for example, he found the source stone to offer to Xi City, for example, he tried to defend Xi City when he encountered enemies, for example, he found some crops with high yield As long as it's good for Xi City, it's OK. ”
”Master Xie Xi, wizard!”
I dare to kowtow to the stone.
At this time, a female slave boldly said, ”Xi Master Xiwu, I also have a question to ask you. Do you know if cocoa is OK
The slave was obviously not as brave as the stone dagger, and her body trembled violently with fear.
Ye Xi was more generous to women and said gently, ”if you have any questions, just ask them. You can get up first.”
The slave's fur coat was thin and ragged, her cheeks slightly sunken, and her ten fingers were as red and swollen as carrots, looking miserable.
In fact, Xicheng gave preferential treatment to female slaves. They would not let them do heavy work. They were never short of food and fur. However, the situation of female slaves was often worse than that of male slaves.
Most of their food and fur were robbed by stronger men.
If ye Xizhen wants to manage this situation, it can also be controlled.
However, it is better for Xicheng.
Therefore, ye Xi did not act, just let the situation continue to develop, so that the female slaves gradually began to hate male chauvinists of the same race, and separated from each other.
After all, according to the current regulations, most of the female slaves are likely to become formal Xicheng people. If they still have deep feelings for their peers and even help the male slaves escape, then Xicheng will be in trouble in the future.
Nu Xi's voice was a little calmer, but she didn't listen to her voice.
But she still did not dare to get up and buried her head deeply: ”I want to ask, master Xiwu, are the children born to our slaves left to us to take care of ourselves?”
