Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 1047
On the second day after arriving in Gaoping, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, Qingji, accompanied by Wu Ji, Wu Hong, and Wu Di, went to the market in Gaoping for a private visit.

Different from the local bazaars in Dawu, most of the bazaars in Liao were opened outside the city.

Because the Liao Kingdom is a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic country, there are many herdsmen who drive cattle, sheep and horses to graze every day, which will inevitably produce a lot of feces and unclean things, so a lively market will be opened outside the city.

The market in Gaoping is also very lively, gathering business travelers and herdsmen from all over the world.

"Selling rouge, the best rouge! The rouge from the Central Plains, don't miss it when you pass by!"

"Everyone, come and take a look, take a look! My swords come from Wu County, each iron sword is extremely sharp, and there is also a ring-shou knife made of fine steel, which cuts iron like mud!"

"Do you know Shu brocade? This is the best Shu brocade. In our Central Plains, basically only nobles can wear it. Now it is sold cheap."

"Refined salt! Refined salt produced in Wu County and Kuaiji County! It's sold cheap..."

At the side of the stalls, the merchants were shouting at their voices, and enthusiastically answered various questions of the herdsmen.

These business travelers come from many places, and most of them are local business travelers from Dawu.

If the price of the item is too high, the herdsmen can't afford so much money, and they can use their own cattle, sheep and horses to barter, but the price still needs to be negotiated.

It's all about taking what you need.

Through the flat and well-connected official roads, merchants from the Central Plains went to the various feudal kingdoms of Dawu to do business, and many people made a fortune from this.

What they sell are basically silk, tea, refined salt, weapons, etc. The necessities of life are very popular.

In this market, merchants from the Central Plains can do business, as can local herdsmen.

Some herdsmen specialize in selling their own cattle, sheep and horses, and even sell some slaves.

At this moment, Qingji came to a tooth shop, and watched with a group of people the slaves who were about to be auctioned off.

The tooth shop is generally a government agency, which is responsible for selling slaves to the outside world.

In the mainland of Wu, slavery has been abolished among the people. Except for the official slaves (Kunlun slaves), there are basically no slaves. It is also forbidden for the kingdoms to import slaves to the mainland of Wu. If it is found that beheading is inevitable, the whole family will be sent to the army. fate.

However, the feudal kingdoms do not have this prohibition. Not only are there slaves among the people, but the government will also publicly auction slaves from time to time.

The last time Wu Hong led an army to conquer the Sushen people, he won a complete victory, and brought back more than [-] Sushen prisoners of war, who became slaves of the Liao Kingdom.

The ones to be auctioned now are the slaves of the Liao Kingdom.

I saw the official beckoning, and ten slaves were escorted to the Sifangtai, so that people could take a look and give a suitable price.

"Now auction slave No. [-]. The starting price is [-] yuan!"

"What? Just this skinny slave, how dare you ask for three thousand dollars? If he gets sick, wouldn't he fall into his hands?"

"Three thousand dollars, I want it!"

"I offer three thousand one!"

"Three thousand two!"

"Three thousand and five, I want it!"

In the end, with the final word, the slave was sold for [-] yuan, which was about the same as a sheep.

This made Qingji frowned involuntarily.

However, he didn't say much.

After all, it is not my race, so its heart must be different.

It is reasonable for these prudent people to be used as slaves.

Anyway, I can eat, so I won't be killed.

Qing Ji believes that this kind of slavery in the feudal kingdoms can still exist.

Originally in the Northeast, people still lived a life of raw hair and blood, no different from primitive people. It was Wu Zhang who brought the advanced civilization of the Central Plains here, allowing people here to directly cross the Bronze Age and enter the Iron Age.

This step is not usually big.

In Qingji's view, there are some systems that, whether to reform or not, are innocuous.

Suddenly, Qingji saw a group of people watching not far away, and went in to see that two people were dueling.

duel?

Qingji was a little surprised.

Wu Hong, who was following him, explained: "Father, these two people should be enemies. The Liao Kingdom enforces the Wu Law and prohibits private fighting, but there are differences."

"The people of the Liao land are full of blood, rebellious and unruly. They used to fight privately."

"After the King of Liao implemented the Wu Law, the atmosphere of private fighting and vendetta is still difficult to change for a while."

"The king of Liao then adopted Tian Wen's suggestion and let the two people who have a grudge fight against each other. Regardless of life or death, the government will not pursue it, but they must not seek revenge afterwards..."

Qing Ji frowned and asked, "Does this work?"

"It works. Liao people worship the strong, and the loser, regardless of life or death, he and his family have to move to another place to settle down to avoid further disputes."

"..."

Qingji didn't know what to say.

Adapt measures to local conditions?
……

After leaving the market, Qingji, accompanied by Wu Ji, Wu Hong, and Wu Di, went on a tour of Gaoping's countryside.

I saw that the Liao people really had a strong sense of martial arts. Not only did every family have weapons, but the folks also spontaneously held martial arts competitions, such as wrestling, fighting, riding and shooting. , This is a kind of fun for grassland people.

Wu Ji, who was beside Qingji, looked at this scene with a worried expression on his face.

The Great Wu has been in peace for a long time, although the foreign wars continue, but the elite army is stationed outside, not in the mainland.

The style of martial arts in various places is still preserved, but some places are not as tough as the Liao Kingdom...

It can be seen from the riding and shooting scenes of the Liao people.

The youths of the Liao Kingdom rode tall horses, dozens of steps away, and could shoot an arrow on the bumpy horseback, hit the target, riding and archery is very good.

They can be armed at any time and become sharp fighters of the Liao Kingdom.

And Qingji didn't say anything about it, and went to Liaohe Daying to inspect.

Here in the Liaohe Daying Camp, there is a standing army of about 5 people stationed in the Liao Kingdom.

The weapons and equipment of the Liao army are not as sophisticated as the Wu army, but they have everything they need.

Bed crossbows, trebuchets, kicking crossbows and other equipment, weapons such as knives, guns, swords and halberds are all available. The armor rate of the Liao army is 30.00%.

In terms of armor wearing rate, it is far from that of Wu's elite division.

Wu Jun's armor rate has reached an outrageous [-]%!

"Your Majesty, ten thousand years! Great Wu, ten thousand years! Your Majesty, ten thousand years!"

The moment Qingji appeared on the high platform, all the officers and men of the Liao army knelt down in unison, shouting "Your Majesty, ten thousand years".

They are the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, they are also the soldiers of Qingji, and they are believers of Tiandaoism...

For Qingji, all the soldiers of the Liao army also fanatically and blindly worshiped it, probably because they were "brainwashed".
