Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 14 Are there really savages?Are the legs still that long?

"Savage?"

Li Huan felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end:
"There are really savages here?"

The soldier clasped his fists and said, "Sir, there are really savages. Brothers, we caught fifteen of them at once!"

Zhang Qian smiled slightly, knowing that the soldier had misunderstood Li Huan's concept of "savage", so he explained:

"These so-called savages are actually people who hid in the mountains and forests during the war in the late Qin Dynasty and did not want to go down the mountains to register.

Over time, they became known as savages in the mountains and forests.

According to my Han law, you can get a reward of five hundred for killing a barbarian. "

Li Huan felt a deep chill in his heart. These were obviously ordinary people who were unwilling to pay taxes to the Han Empire.

Such people existed in feudal dynasties in all dynasties.

If they do not pay taxes to the court and do not register with the household, they will naturally not be protected by the court. Instead, they will be killed by the court.

"General Huo has returned to Chang'an City to visit his uncle. Sir, do you think these savages are cutting off their heads and asking for reward?"

"Take us to see where they are." Li Huan said and glanced at Zhang Qian and Gan Fu beside him.

The two nodded quickly.

Fifteen men and women with disheveled hair, strange patterns painted on their bodies, and wearing fine woven bark clothing were trapped on tree stumps.

Some people were covered with colorful clothes. When they saw someone coming, they twisted their bodies in anger and struggled, and dazzling blood flowed out from the wounds that had just coagulated.

Such a scene made Li Huan frown more than once.

"Normally, when the Yulin Army captures savages, they tie them to trees and let the newly recruited soldiers see their blood."

The centurion here immediately introduced Li Huan with great respect.

Li Huan took a look and found that there was a pretty girl here.

He has a face with oval seeds, skin color like wheat, big eyes, but full of fear, and strong and strong legs. Perhaps because he has been running in the jungle all year round, he is extremely slender and full of feminine curves.

Just use the numerical values ​​of the world that Li Huan lived in before to make an analogy.

This is at least a long-legged beauty of about 1.8 meters...

Thinking of what Yulinwei had done, Li Huan suddenly felt that these people were really a waste.

It is better to go to Yuwen Chengdu, because Yuwen Chengdu can even eat every grain of rice in the bowl and will never waste it like this...

"Huh? What are you thinking about?"

Li Huan touched the tip of his nose and realized why he kept thinking about these messy things ever since he had a physical relationship with Cuihua.

"Then you are now..."

"General Huo has told us that when he comes home, we will listen to him in everything."

Li Huan walked past the fifteen "savages" who were tied to the big tree.

Some people looked at Li Huan in fear and began to beg for mercy in Guanzhong dialect, willing to become Li Huan's slaves.

Some people stared at Li Huan angrily, as if they wanted to eat someone.

There were also people with despair, eyes closed, looking like they were waiting to die.

Surprisingly, the situation that Li Huan expected that someone would spit at him did not happen.

He turned and asked the centurion beside him.

The centurion was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "If they dare to do anything to humiliate Sir, my subordinates will definitely skin them alive and cramp them, and only after enough torture will they die."

The warrior's voice has always been loud and clear.

Those "savages" who had stared at Li Huan with cannibalistic eyes immediately trembled in horror after hearing this.

There were even two who were scared to the point of urinating and defecating.

Li Huan patted his forehead, then turned to look at Zhang Qian beside him: "Brother Zhang, do we have a policy to admit these refugees into household registration?

After all, they are all the same people as us, and they also speak with a Guanzhong accent. It would be too cruel and a pity to kill them like this, right? "

"Sir, benevolence." Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Of course there are government orders, but these people have lived in the mountains for a long time and are unwilling to go down.

On the contrary, they often kill hunters and woodcutter who enter the mountains.

The crops that the people worked for were often looted by them, so there was a rule that there was a reward of [-] yuan for killing a savage. "

Li Huan understood that the appearance of some government orders was not necessarily ruthless.

But Zhang Qian's words did not mean that these people must be picked to death on the Yulin Army's battle spears.

"What is your daily life in the mountains?" Li Huan turned his head and looked at the long-legged savage beauty and asked.

The long-legged female savage trembled in horror before she realized that Li Huan was not trying to kill her, but was asking herself a question. "Hunting... hunting, I also grow my own crops, but the harvest is not good and when I can't catch prey, I have to go out to rob it.

Without salt, I can only secretly..."

The terrified long-legged female savage suddenly thought of something, and immediately stopped talking.

Li Huan chuckled and said: "Salt, you just secretly exchange it with some merchants who are not afraid of death, right?"

The long-legged female savage was immediately frightened and cried, with big tears falling down like beads.

Li Huan didn't care because he never thought about killing these people.

Zhang Qian on the side explained: "Although the law is strict, there is no way to prevent these things."

"Do you all know how to farm?"

Li Huan looked at all the savages.

Everyone seemed to accept the fate of losing their freedom and becoming slaves.

But it's good to be alive, right?

"We know how to farm. If you spare us, I am willing to become your slave!"

In an instant, someone looked at Li Huan hopefully, with pleading expressions.

However, as soon as the man spoke, the centurion next to him punched him hard in the mouth.

Several broken teeth, mixed with screams of terror and pain, flew out of the man's mouth.

"Sir, you must not do it. There is a precedent of savages who became slaves and then killed their masters and fled back to the mountains and forests."

The centurion knelt down on one knee to apologize.

Li Huan immediately helped the centurion up: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

"My subordinates dare not."

The commander looked nervous and stepped aside.

"You are a village... um, or to put it another way, a tribe?"

The long-legged female savage seemed to see that Li Huan did not want to kill them immediately, and immediately replied:
"We are two hostile tribes. In the process of chasing and fighting each other, we unknowingly left the depths of Lishan Mountain.

We didn’t mean to offend you…”

"It's nothing." Li Huan looked at this beautiful long-legged female savage and smiled calmly:
"Since you can farm and speak Guanzhong dialect, why are you not willing to leave the mountains and forests and live a more comfortable life outside?"

"We don't want to tax anyone."

A male savage looked at Li Huan in fear, fearing that his words would anger the noble Han man in front of him.

“But you should have heard the saying that all the land in the world is the land of the king, the shore of the land, and the ministers of the king.

The whole world belongs to His Majesty and the Han Dynasty. You can also become His Majesty's subjects, as long as you really want to. "

The centurion seemed to be about to say something else, but was stopped by Zhang Qian's eyes.

Zhang Qian wanted to see what method Li Huan could use to deal with these savages.

"My noble man, this is unreasonable. Since we have been caught by your soldiers, there is only one way to die."

The frightened male savage lowered his head in pain and sobbed softly.

Li Huan shook his head: "If you can live, you may not necessarily ask for death. This thousand acres of land was given to me by Your Majesty.

But I can't cultivate so much land by myself.

If there are people among you who advocate peace and are willing to farm in peace and security, in exchange for a full family.

You can become tenant farmers on my land, and I will have someone register you with a household registration in Xianyang City. "

"You don't want us to be your slaves?" The long-legged savage woman opened her moving eyes wide and looked at Li Huan with disbelief.

Li Huan looked at the long-legged female savage and blinked his left eye teasingly, while his right eye did not move:
"Of course, I think slavery itself is a step backwards in history.

The land of the Han Dynasty needs more people who can work diligently to cultivate the land for His Majesty, not talking animals. "

The female savage didn't know whether it was because of Li Huan's frivolous action or because these words shocked her so much that her face was blank for a moment, her beautiful eyes were empty, and she didn't know what to say.

Li Huan's eyes diverged, and when he saw other savages, who were as dazed as this long-legged female savage, he showed his white teeth and smiled softly:

"Of course, if any of you wants to pretend to agree first and then find an opportunity to escape back to the mountains, or if you have bad intentions, you will kill me.

I promise, I will definitely lead my troops into the mountains and forests and kill everyone in your tribe. "

As if to emphasize or threaten something, Li Huan kept a warm smile on his face and said emphatically:

"Male, female, old and young, leave no one alive, kill them all!"
