If deaths occur as a result of normal labor activities, Liu Ba believes that this is normal. However, seeing the death toll rising day by day, it does not seem normal in any way.

Liu Ba is not a fool. Combined with the previous situation, all kinds of bad thoughts instantly emerged in his mind.

Could it be that these nobles were trying to earn pensions by deliberately killing people?

If this situation really happened, Liu Ba felt that there was no need for him to be merciful. He could just lead his troops to wipe out these people, killing them all one by one. This would definitely not be a mistake.

He would not be afraid even if the news spread to Chang'an.

With this idea in mind, Liu Ba started the field investigation without any hesitation. However, the result of the investigation was speechless.

These nobles did earn a lot of money from pensions from the death toll of laborers.

But the other party's initial idea was not intentional. It can only be said that some accidents occurred, leading to the current situation.

At the beginning, the order these nobles received was to provide labor to the Han Empire to meet the infrastructure needs of the Han Empire and open a road from north to south and a canal from north to south.

Because of a series of previous events, many nobles were already terrified of the Han Empire. At the beginning, they really had no intention of perfunctorily treating the Han Empire.

He directly sent his own troops to serve as labor, trying to meet the needs of the Han Empire through this behavior.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Ba feels that the labor force of these indigenous people is indeed good and is almost comparable to that in China.

It was precisely because of these extremely outstanding people with stronger subjective initiative than the captives that Liu Ba had some illusions, increased the number of people required, and provided special supplies for some special situations.

However, faced with the requirement of even larger numbers of manpower, many nobles were troubled.

Although their numbers were indeed not small, not all of the nobles could meet the requirements set by Liu Ba.

As for refuting and making suggestions to the Han Empire, and engaging in consultations and discussions, these nobles simply did not have the courage and confidence to do so, nor did they dare to do so.

This led to some nobles, under such circumstances, having no choice but to bite the bullet and start finding ways to complete the task.

During this process, some astute nobles suddenly discovered the loopholes in the rules proposed by Liu Ba.

That is the requirement put forward by Liu Ba. It is only the labor force, the labor force in the young and middle-aged period. There is no requirement for class, caste, or belief.

This led these nobles to find another way. On the one hand, they captured natives from various places to meet their personnel needs. On the other hand, they sent the Dalits on their own land to Liu Ba to participate in infrastructure construction and labor.

The natives are okay, they can still hold on to this high-intensity labor.

But it is completely different for Dalits. People of this class cannot be said to have grown up eating dirt, but to say that they grew up eating grass is not a problem at all.

With a weak physical constitution and an exhausted body, the petite body is nothing but fragility and decay.

After just one day, the Dalits who completed the handover and participated in the work felt that the work was different. This kind of work that belongs to the inner class was not something they could participate in before. This change of identity made many Dalits work harder and more energetically.

However, their fragile bodies could not resist such enthusiasm, so most of the Dalits could not even enjoy their first lunch, and died directly in the labor field due to excessive excitement and overexertion.

It was okay at the beginning. After all, there were only a few nobles who dared to do so, and they all wanted to just get by.

The nobles who were present to supervise the execution turned a blind eye to such behavior. After all, there were deaths on the roads and in the rivers. It didn't matter where you died, sooner or later. And the people who died were Dalits. How could that be a problem?

Originally, this method was only limited to a small number of nobles who were unable to gather sufficient labor. Most nobles did not dare to take the risk.

Moreover, because of the Dalits' own identity, people within the Brahmin system cannot treat Dalits as human beings.

Since they are not treated as human beings, they will naturally not be regarded as human beings. Therefore, even if these Danites die, basically no one will report it.

This situation continued until the pension policy was finalized, at which time it became completely different and even more outrageous.

During the production process, the Dalits died suddenly because their bodies could not bear the burden due to their own reasons.

The nobles who brought these Dalits here will be able to receive this pension. As for whether these pensions will be given to the families of those people, it depends on whether these nobles have such thoughts and ideas.

After the pension was promulgated, the Han people who confirmed the death toll naturally would not treat the dead people from the Dalit class as animals, and would not consider and calculate them as human beings.

It is precisely because the other party is treated as a human being that relevant compensation must be paid.

However, the thoughts and ideas of the nobles who received this pension were completely different.

Not only are there no sanctions against Dalits and other untouchables for their deaths, they can even receive compensation.

It is really hard to understand why the extremely proud Han Empire treated Dalits as human beings.

However, since the other party treated Dalits as human beings, it meant that handing over Dalits was in line with the policies and plans formulated by the Han Empire.

Needless to say, batches of Dalits were continuously sent to the planned locations. Then, the deaths of Dalits were no longer concealed as before, but were boldly exposed in order to obtain compensation.

When one noble knew about it, other nobles would gradually know about it, and their situation would be almost the same.

It was with this idea in mind that most of the nobles gave up the idea of ​​using common people to replace the labor force, and instead let the Dalits replace the people and become the labor force.

There are at least two benefits to doing this for the nobles of these countries.

On the one hand, it can significantly reduce the number of Dalits and their sense of presence, weaken their existence, and thus strengthen religious rule.

On the other hand, they can also rely on the high-intensity work of the Han army to exhaust Dalits one after another, thereby obtaining a generous pension! (End of this chapter)
