Marquis of Shang

Chapter 8 Slave Branding
Chen Qingxiang carefully recalled the memories of his previous life, and the contact with himself during this period, according to their respective status, closeness, distance, and the level of credit this time.

Begin carefully carve up the tiger meat.

In addition to Huangshi Qishi, the other [-] shi, including the soldiers stationed on the city wall and the watchtower, each soldier represents the head of a family of people.

The parents of the soldiers who are still in the garrison will receive it with their family members.

And this is just a family of less than two hundred people.

However, Chen Qingxiang spent an entire hour in this tiger meat stage.

During this hour.

Chen Qingxiang divided the tiger meat extremely slowly.

Under the serious gaze of everyone in the city, he carefully and slowly cut up the tiger meat, thinking about the various conditions of the people's family, military achievements, whether they obeyed, etc.

Every time a piece of tiger meat was distributed, Chen Qingxiang would roll the name and slowly explain the reason.

And always pay attention to the expressions of the people around you.

The balance in mind changes at any time.

……

Don't underestimate this tiger meat stage.

In this Huangshi Xiaoyi.

For this family of less than two hundred families, Chen Qingxiang, the lord who rules the entire Huangshi Xiaoyi, has a serious influence on himself with his words and deeds.

The most important thing is to understand the inclination and disposition of the ruler of the city.

By dividing the tiger meat, one can see the tendency and disposition of the town lord to a certain extent.

……

As for Chen Qingxiang, who inherited the position of the Lord of the small town at a young age, the Lord of the small town.

There are less than two hundred families in Huangshi Xiaoyi, which is the foundation for its existence.

Rely on these families with as few as a dozen people and as many as 30 to [-] people.

It was Chen Qingxiang, the town lord, who was able to control over ten thousand slaves in Huangshi Xiaoyi.

……

I was less than 16 years old and inherited the position of Lord of the town, and it has been less than half a year now.

Although all the slaves in the city obeyed the order.

But this is only obedience to the position of the lord he inherited, and obedience to the natural inheritance of his father and partial prestige.

For itself, there is a lack of obedience in my heart.

This is the reason why Chen Qingxiang's succession to the position of the town lord was too short, he was too young, and he didn't show himself, and he didn't achieve his own prestige.

This time Chen Qingxiang led Huangshi Wushi to kill the fierce tiger and avenge his father.

It just established its own prestige and authority.

And this share of tiger meat is the opportunity to consolidate authority.

The fairness and justice of the tiger meat distribution can truly subdue the hearts of the people and stabilize one's own authority and prestige.

If the proportion of tiger meat is not in line with people's hearts, it will be just the opposite, making everyone feel resentful, which will wear down their own little prestige.

……

And after the meat is divided.

Seeing that most of the people looked satisfied.

Chen Qingxiang knew that he had succeeded in dividing the meat this time.

Wash your hands in the clean water handed by the slave.

Then Chen Qingxiang looked at the people and slaves in the square.

speak up.

"Today I succeeded in hunting the fierce tiger, and I will avenge my father."

"I take the honor of the owner of the small town of Huangshi."

"From among the Yellowstone slave soldiers who have made great achievements in hunting tigers..."

"Choose one army of slave warriors and promote them to become the crowd."

As he spoke, Chen Qingxiang scanned around and asked symbolically.

"Second and third sons, I have doubts."

Afterwards, Chen Qingxiang looked towards where the Qishi Huangshi soldiers were.

Look at the last 35 slave warriors.

"Second and third sons, come out."

"promise……"

The 35 slave soldiers made their promises loudly.

Five warriors stepped out from among the Seven Horsemen in Huangshi, including one horseman.

Quickly and neatly came to two feet away from Chen Qingxiang.

Remove the helmets one by one.

It can be seen that the foreheads of these thirty-one soldiers are all branded with a gray slave mark the size of a soybean.

"You wait for a group of thirty and one five."

"I shall choose one army from among them, and get rid of slavery."

As he said that, Chen Qingxiang took a piece of wood on the spot and cut it into 35 small wooden sticks of about the same size and thickness with a machete.

Afterwards, the bottoms of five small wooden sticks were stained with the blood of the fierce tiger that had turned black and red.

After being stained with the tiger's blood, Chen Qingxiang scattered 35 small wooden sticks to cover the bottom.

Only the upper half of the 35 small wooden sticks are shown.

"To show fairness."

"I leave it to God."

"Whoever gets a wooden stick stained with the blood of a fierce tiger, I will promote him to the public."

"Those who don't get the stick stained with the blood of the fierce tiger don't need to be disappointed, there will be chances in the future."

Looking at the tens of thousands of slave soldiers with tense faces, Chen Qingxiang pointed to 35 wooden sticks and said.

"All 35 of you, let's make your own choice!"

"Who comes first!"

In just one breath, the thirty-one slave warriors stepped forward one by one to choose each of them.

But counting the interest time, the selection is completed.

Looking at the three dozen soldiers with completely different expressions.

Chen Qingxiang buys bones for thousands of dollars.

Said to the excited five soldiers who had successfully obtained five wooden sticks stained with tiger blood.

"I am happy today. I will reward five people, each with five slaves."

With that said, Chen Qingxiang looked at the cavalry chief, Chen Da.

"Chen Da, within three days, you will arrange 25 healthy slaves from the mansion and distribute them to five people."

Hearing this, the commander of the cavalry saluted Chen Qingxiang.

"promise……"

Chen Qingxiang then turned to look at Chen Fang, the Huangshi sorcerer at the side.

"Wu, I will communicate with the totems tonight. After tomorrow, please consume the power of the five totems to eliminate the slave marks branded by the blood contract of five people and ten generations."

"The order of the Lord of the Respect."

The old Huangshi little witch guarded Chen Fang, and calmly responded.

This time, Chen Qingxiang only promoted five slave soldiers to become a group of people. The main reason was that the totem that could remove the imprint of the tenth blood bond slave in the city was not strong enough.

With the current scale of Huangshi Xiaoyi, every year, after various uses and consumptions, there are generally only three or five totem powers left.

This one-time use of five ways is equivalent to consuming the remaining totem power of Huangshi Xiaoyi for a year.

Moreover, this is only the slave blood contract of the tenth generation. If it is the slave blood contract of the hundredth generation, even Huangshi Xiaoyi has no ability to eliminate it.

The seventy Yellowstone warriors in the entire town lord's mansion, and all the warriors among them, are like this group of warriors, who gradually eliminated the brand of blood slaves from the slave warriors, and were promoted.

……

At this point, Chen Qingxiang returned to the Lord's mansion.

The remaining tiger heads, tiger skins, tiger bones, tiger meat, etc. will be sorted out by the people and slaves, so they don't need to worry about it.

Return to the mansion compound again.

Then put the three-foot simple horn and the gray stone symbol with missing corners back on the totem, and use the totem to protect and nourish it again.

Then he came to the stone house where the armor was placed, put the weapons away, and with the help of the four female slaves in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, Chen Qingxiang took off the blood-stained armor one by one.

Wipe the sweat off your body.

Then the five people came to a stone house filled with mist.

Entering the stone house, a warm water pool with a diameter of about one foot appears.

Take off your clothes and enter the warm water pool.

The four personal slaves were also naked, entered the water, and began to serve Chen Qingxiang to bathe.
