When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 16 Slaves become naturalized humans

Religion can be a good medicine when people are panicked and confused.

Under Xin Qu's secret planning, formal religion appeared in advance, waiting for drastic measures to replace the current chaotic worship of ghosts and gods.

In particular, Xin Qu's plan can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow to the original sect.

It has a vision for the future, a hope for the afterlife, and a guide for survival in this world.

However, Xinqu was also very smart. Nowadays, merchants are powerful and have far-reaching influence. He did not completely deny the merchants' beliefs. He just sorted out the legends about ghosts and gods causing trouble in the world based on the merchants' beliefs.

Whoever has the ability to purge more ghosts and gods, sacrifice them and convert them into the tribe, will have the emperor's eyes.

Or in other words, whoever has the ability to annex more tribes will be the master of the world.

The current ruler of the human world is the Shang Kingdom, but there are a lot of ghosts and gods within them, and countless wizards. Everyone has different interests and believes in different ghosts and gods.

The businessman's belief in thinking is actually extremely chaotic internally.

But it's also a good thing. The Shang Kingdom, which has not yet completed its internal religious rectification, actually spends a relatively moderate amount on sacrifices.

Yes, it's quite mild. Compared with the No. 20 fourth-generation Shang Wang Zujia, after the "Zhou Sacrifice" was established, the usage and number of slaves at that time were dozens of times that of the current merchant sacrifice.

After all, at that time, it entered the late Shang era, and the development of bronze civilization entered a new point in time. Compared with the current stage where merchant tributary countries generally still use bone and stone weapons, most of the Eight Hundred Fang Kingdoms have entered the bronze ware era.

The intensity of war and population size are not the same.

Therefore, in today's era, whoever can climb the technology tree earlier, whoever can integrate various tribes earlier to form effective combat power, will have a chance to win.

Xin Qu also realized this after observing for the past six months.

If you talk about ethnicity with people nowadays, they will think you are an idiot.

Instead of doing this, it is better to solve the problem in a way that everyone can accept.

Religion opens the way for the naturalization and integration of ethnic groups, preventing it from accelerating the subsequent national emotional struggle between different clans during the rise of the Youxin clan.

"Pull the slave over."

Taking advantage of the current high emotions, Xinqu decided to strike while the iron was hot.

Tu and the others quickly pulled the slave up. The clansmen looked at Xin Qu, wondering what the clan leader wanted to do.

Under the bonfire, Xinqu looked at the group of slaves: "The ghosts and gods that protect you have been naturalized! What else do you want to say?"

Most of the slaves were silent, except for some who didn't want to believe it and still looked at Xin Qu angrily.

But these are just a few.

"The emperor does not need waste like slaves." Xin Qu raised his head proudly, "But the naturalized ghosts and gods need sacrifices, a kind of sacrifice from incense.

They need sustenance and not be forgotten and die.

do you know?Ghosts and gods can also be killed!They have their own priesthood and need to be remembered and sacrificed by living beings in order to exert their full divine power!

Your ghosts and gods have been naturalized. Although we have the Xin family, we can worship them, but we will not worship them religiously.

When we have hundreds of ghosts and gods one day, they may be forgotten and disappear.

You also don’t want to see your ghosts and gods being forgotten from the world and disappearing. "

Xin Qu smiled, a slightly vulgar smile, which made the tribesmen feel a chill unconsciously.

"You...what do you want to say?!" An old man struggled to move his knees forward. Even though he was pressed by Tu and the others, he still looked at Xin Qu angrily.

"It's very simple. The Xin family will give you the opportunity to become naturalized." Xin Qu looked at the tribesmen, "The emperor can naturalize ghosts and gods, and we can also naturalize the followers of ghosts and gods. But you have to pay the price.

Ghosts and gods escape into the human world and destroy everything with the resentment of the people.

But now, your ghosts and gods have returned to their divine status, which means that they, like the emperor, must obtain merit through incense and naturalization of other ghosts and gods who have not yet returned to the right path.

You keep saying that you believe in your gods.So now, your gods need you to nourish them with merit and incense.

To nourish them requires sacrifices.

This offering has three levels.

It said: Tailao, the master sacrifices cattle, and sacrifices them every five years, with the incense of Qiqi.The next time he said: Shaolao, the master sacrifices sheep, and sacrifices them once a year, with the incense of Wuqi.

The next sentence says: Chang Lao, the main sacrifice is fish, and it is sacrificed once every three months, with the incense of Panax notoginseng.

On the full day of every month, we offer sacrifices in the morning, including a bowl of grains and the incense of Yiqi.

If you are a believer, you can offer sacrifices every day, including a bowl of millet and three sticks of incense, and feed it diligently.

If ghosts and gods have birthdays, they will be punished once a year with too much jail, and once in five years with too jail.

Merit and incense are not in abundance but in essence. Offering too many sacrifices can easily become polluted, making it difficult for ghosts and gods to practice.

Therefore, to offer sacrifices and pray for blessings, they should be used according to the scenery. "

When the old man heard this, he sneered: "This is just your one-sided statement! Our faith is firm!"

After hearing this, Xin Qu chuckled and said: "You are slaves now and are not qualified to sacrifice to them.

Otherwise, how could you not do it in a grand manner?

In short, although I and the Xin family can also offer sacrifices, I don’t have time to make offerings to them every day, so we will only make offerings to them on the 15th day of the lunar month.

But now, I give you a chance.

Every year, to the team that completes the production tasks best, I will give you a small group to sacrifice to your ghosts and gods.

At the same time, to those who complete the production tasks best every year, I will grant you the status of naturalized people. "

"Qu, what are the benefits of being a naturalized person?" A Qi suddenly asked, helping Xin Qu attract the slaves' thoughts.

“It’s very simple, naturalized people will have a relatively free environment and won’t have to be killed like slaves.

In terms of life, they can get protection from the clan. "

Xin Qu's words made all the slaves yearn for it. It was their hope that the naturalized people could be protected in life.

“At the same time, you will be able to obtain certain property, but the way to obtain property is to cultivate the tribe’s public land.

[-]% of the output of public fields is turned over to the tribe, and you get [-]%.

At the same time, you will leave the slave camp, and residences will be arranged for you around the tribe.

You can worship your ghosts and gods in your residence, and the clan will not interfere with your daily sacrifices.

At the same time, you also have to go to the battlefield as servants to fight with me and the Xin family.

Of course, the battle is not in vain!
Within five years, every time you kill an enemy, the proportion of public land turned over will be reduced by [-]%. You will be able to get more food to nourish the ghosts and gods, and you can also share the gifts of the ghosts and gods, and your life will be better.

When you kill five enemies, you will be qualified to establish a household. From this time on, you can get married. "

"Set up a household! Get married!" The naturalized people's eyes were glaring, "Can you accept us as your tribe?"

"No, no, no! Naturalized people need to make a lot of meritorious deeds if they want to become clan members. However, as long as your next generation is born in the land where I have the Xin family, they will obtain the qualifications of clan members after they become adults.

But there is one requirement, that is, you cannot have any criminal record. As long as you have a criminal record, you will be punished according to the law, such as increasing your taxes, making your children lose the qualifications to belong to the Xin family, or even being severely demoted to slaves. , and being demoted to slaves and then killing them, so that you are not even qualified to return to heaven and earth! "

Xin Qu said the last words viciously, and both the tribesmen and the slaves were shocked!
No one wants to be demoted to a slave and then killed, with no hope of return in the end.

"The naturalized status of the Xin family only allows your next generation to be qualified to become members of my Xin family, but at the same time, your next generation can still maintain sacrifices to your ghosts and gods. Oh no, it should be the Xin family. spirits!

After all, ghosts and gods have also been naturalized!Having someone to offer sacrifices saves a lot of trouble!
Finally, as a slave, if you obtain: the slave with the lowest output, the most disobedient, and the bastard more than three times within five years, you will be killed.

If she was a female slave, as long as she gave birth to a child of the head of the household, she would be eligible to obtain naturalized person status after giving birth to one.

And your children will be divided into households after they become adults, and you will be allowed to be naturalized. "

Xin Qu finished explaining the underlying logic at length, and everyone, whether they were slaves or tribesmen, felt frightened.

The tribesmen would not exclude slaves, because when the tribe's population was insufficient, they would often absorb slaves to become members of the tribe to fill the gap.

But they were shocked, could slaves be upgraded through hard work?

"Okay, let's pull up this one, that one, and that one, the ones who were glaring at me the hardest just now."
