Palmetty was one of ten thousand slaves. His ancestors were all pariah. His grandfather, his father and his brothers are all pariah people with low status. Once you see the nobles of Kushan country, you can only kneel on the ground and dare not show any disrespect.
Palmetty became a slave because he knelt down a little slower when he met the nobles in Wulei City, so that he was thrown into slavery and engaged in mining every day.
Now, Palmer has come up with it.
Palmette was set free.
Although palmetty's clothes were ragged, he was also extremely thin. At a glance, he was skinny. But palmetty's face was full of bright smile.
Palmetty walked on the street, happy and going home. In his family, his parents are still alive, and there is an elder brother and a younger brother. The family get along very well.
But palmette's home is in the west of no thunder city.
And it's the most marginal area.
This is a slum.
Countless poor people in Wulei city live here. Their houses are made of mud or thatch. They are the most humble and have no objects at home. These people are mainly engaged in farming, fishing, hunting and so on. They are the people at the bottom. They live a very hard life and have no status. They may even be killed at any time.
Because in front of the nobility, the lives of these people can't even compare with a dog in the nobility's family.
Palmetty walked briskly back to the house.
The house is made of rammed earth and has a row of four rooms. Outside the house, there is a ring of wood inserted in the ground to form a wall, delimiting the area of the home.
Palmetty opened the door of his house and pushed in.
In the yard, palmetty's father was chopping wood.
As soon as he saw palmetty coming back, he was stunned, with a look of endless joy on his face. Because once thrown into slavery, it's impossible to come back, and finally it's a corpse.
Now palmetty is back alive.
Palmetty's father was happy at first, and immediately, with a look of fear on his face, he quickly closed the door. Then he pulled palmetty forward two steps and said in a deep voice, "son, are you back from prison?"
Palmette said, "no, my son came back aboveboard."
Palmetty's father, however, did not believe it and said, "how can you come back when you enter the world and are treated as slaves?"
Palmette said, "father, it's true. The reason why I was able to come back was not because I escaped, but because his Majesty the emperor of Qin led his army to Wulei city. He has released all of us from slavery and given us freedom. Now I'm free and I don't need to be a slave anymore. "
"Seriously?"
Palmetty's father was very happy, and his face was full of joy.
"It's true, of course," palmetty said. "If you ask about it, you'll know. As many as 10000 slaves were released. What's more, his majesty also said that we should abolish slaves and nobles. "
After a pause, palmette said: "since then, there will be no more aristocracy and common people in Wulei City, and there will be no aristocracy inherited from generation to generation. Father, these damned aristocrats, their good days are over. Your majesty, the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, will destroy them completely. Our good day is coming. "
Palmette's father, however, shook his head and said, "well, no matter what, nobility is still nobility. It's not easy for us to live
"You can rest assured that the government will recruit workers outside the city tomorrow morning," palmett said. Anyone who is willing to go can go and earn money by working. So we have a chance to make money. "
"Really?"
Palmetty's father got excited.
Palmetty said: "I cheat you to do something, this thing, of course, is true."
"Good, good, good!"
Palmette's father nodded busily, with a bright look on his face. He was very happy. Because for them, the chance to make money is pie falling from the sky. No matter how hard the work is, they can make money, that's the best.
The two father and son discussed the work. They were very happy and looked forward to it.
As a matter of fact, such a situation as that of the pameti family was constantly unfolding in the city of no thunder, so that the news of the emancipation of slaves was thoroughly spread, and many people were jubilant when they learned about the recruitment.
This is their chance.
Of course, the transmission of the news also reached the ears of the nobility of Wulei city.
The nobility of Wulei city mainly lived in the north of the city. In this area, they all lived in the nobility. The nobles, big and small, lived here, and they all had no worries about food and clothing.
The largest family in Wulei city is the Brahman family, which is the best caste.
The patriarch of the Brahman family is called jasanyi.It's called Lord jasanyi.
In Wulei City, even if Jimu is the Lord of the city, when he meets jasanyi, he has to be respectful, because jasanyi's surname is the highest caste.
Now, jasanyi is more than 70 years old, and his body is not very good. When he was young, he served as an official in Peshawar, the capital of Kushan. Later, when he was old, he resigned and returned to his hometown of Wulei.
At home, in the backyard study.
Under his jaw, jasanyi's curly beard was white, and his sparse hair was carefully combed.
A face, full of wrinkles.
Show the wind and frost.
That pair of deep eyes, but through to see through the world of sophistication and cunning.
Jasanyi is now reading a book.
The book he studied is the art of war, which he bought by chance from a businessman in the western regions. When I saw it, I was shocked. However, Sun Tzu's art of war is exclusively translated by merchants in the western regions, and many of its essence has never been translated, but Rao is so, and jasanyi is also a treasure.
He has read books for countless times, but every time he reads, he always feels a new harvest.
I'm not tired of seeing it.
Just as jasanyi was reading, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Then, an old man about the same age as jasanyi entered. This is jasanyi's old housekeeper. When I was young, I always followed jasanyi. Now I am old, I still follow jasanyi.
The housekeeper said: "master, there are a group of people from outside the house. They are all the nobles of Wulei city. One by one, they were worried. They said that the new emperor of Qin wanted to abolish the nobles and make the nobles in Wulei city the same as those Dalits. These people are here to make up their minds with you. "
Jasanyi raised his eyelids and said, "please go to the hall."
"Yes
The housekeeper nodded and answered, and immediately went to inform him.
But jasanyi didn't put down his "art of war" and continued to browse. After a while, jasanyi put down his books, dressed in black again, and went to the hall.
When jasanyi entered, everyone arrived.
These people are the nobles of Wulei city.
One by one, today's face, into the worry, and from the depths of the eyes, there is anger. They are angry that Zhang Xiu wants to abolish the aristocracy, and even more angry at Zhang Xiu's boldness.
Jasanyi went to the throne, lifted up his robes, sat down, looked around all the people, and said, "with so many of you here, almost all the nobles of my thunder free city are here. Tell me what's going on. "
"Lord jasanyi, it's the emperor of the Qin Dynasty who wants to make a fool of himself." In the crowd, a middle-aged man sitting first on the right spoke. His name is Afanti. He is a nobleman of Wulei city and also a Brahman caste. However, his family is not as prominent as jasanyi, but in Wulei City, Afanti's power is not small.
Even Avanti himself held an official position in Wulei city. But now Ji Mu has fled. Avanti can't leave because his family is in Wulei City, so he stays.
