Chapter 484 The Coming Slavery and a Safety Line
Looking at the three captives lying on the ground to express their surrender, and looking at the angry tribe members, Han Cheng could understand everyone's mood.
These three people are different from the previous Bone Tribe.
A few years ago, he attacked his own tribe, destroyed the pig tribe, and attacked the donkey tribe not long ago, killing almost all the people in the donkey tribe.
Now they have turned their minds on their tribe. Naturally, they want to kill all such people, and they don't want them to join their tribe.
But these people still have to stay, Han Cheng will not kill them.
Of course, he will not become a citizen of the Qingque tribe like the rabbit fur, but will exist as a slave.
With more than two hundred citizens now as the foundation, it is time for the Qingque Tribe to implement slavery.
Slaves themselves represent the lack of human rights and dignity. They can eat the least and worst food, do the most and the hardest work, and create a lot of production materials.
When there is a conflict with other tribes, they can be used as cannon fodder to rush to the front line, consuming the enemy's strength, and it doesn't hurt to use it...
It is easier to use than large cows that eat grass and produce milk.
With so many benefits, Han Cheng naturally wouldn't kill these people.
How good it is to keep them as cattle and horses to create more things for the Qingque tribe.
This kind of punishment is much heavier than direct killing, and it will not cause too much killing...
"These three people cannot be killed..."
Han Cheng looked at the people in the tribe and said.
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why the Son of God would do this.
"They will become slaves of our tribe..."
Han Cheng looked at the crowd and began to talk about the benefits of slaves.
In order to resolve the grievances against these people in the hearts of the people, Han Cheng deliberately made his experience after becoming a slave more miserable.
Following Han Cheng's narration, the confusion in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated.
Wu stood beside Han Cheng,
Looking at Han Cheng and then at the three prisoners lying on the ground, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Yes, why must they be killed?
Wouldn't it be better to let them live and continue to work for their own tribe as slaves?
They are strong male adults who can do a lot.
In this way, a lot of things can be produced in the tribe.
Horde will also become stronger.
What a great idea!
Wu thought so emotionally, and suddenly remembered that the Son of God had said this a few years ago when he was catching Ruhua, but later Ruhua and the others completely integrated into his tribe. This time, the Son of God would not prepare for such a thing, would he?
Thinking this way, he asked Han Cheng about it when there were few people.
Han Cheng smiled and shook his head: "No, at that time we were too small to develop slaves. Now the population of our tribe has greatly increased, and we can develop slaves..."
Hearing Han Cheng's answer, Wu was relieved.
At this time, Han Cheng said again: "However, when the time comes, a small number may be selected to let them get rid of their status as slaves and become full-fledged citizens of our tribe..."
"Son of God, why are you doing this?"
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Wu was stunned for a moment. He thought for a while but couldn't understand the intention of Shenzi doing this.
In his opinion, these people become slaves, which is of great benefit to the tribe.
Since there are great benefits, why should some of them be deslaved?
Wouldn't it be better for them to keep paying for the Horde as slaves?
And making them slaves is to punish them. If they are relieved of their status as slaves, wouldn't it be impossible to punish them?
Wu really didn't understand the meaning of this.
He couldn't figure it out, but Han Cheng knew it clearly.
Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and he takes this saying very seriously.
There are two classes of natural opposition between slaves and slave owners.
It is certain that slave owners oppress and exploit slaves, and it is certain that slaves will be dissatisfied with slave owners in the long run.
When this dissatisfaction reaches a certain level, conflicts will break out.
The safest and most fundamental solution is not to carry out more brutal and bloody suppression. This will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and will make the contradictions more acute.
Blocking is worse than sparse.
To solve such a problem is to establish rules so that those slaves who live at the bottom can see a glimmer of hope and a way out of this most difficult situation.
Although this road is full of difficulties, although this process is extremely arduous, and only a very small number of people can get out of this situation, but only such a road exists, and they will not be able to take the final step.
In this case, the most terrifying thing is not seeing hope. There is only a glimmer of hope, and they will bravely move towards this hope.
This will not only achieve the long-term peace and stability of the slaves, but also greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the slaves to work.
Moreover, generally those who can walk through such a difficult road are basically capable people among the slaves.
Those who are capable are separated from the slave class through this, and the remaining people will be better controlled.
People of slave origin will think about the interests of slaves, so don't worry about such problems, because this basically won't happen.
This is easy to understand. For example, officials under the imperial examination system, who were of ordinary origin, became the ruling class through the imperial examination system, and then faced the original ruled class, and they would not have much mercy.
Another example is the peasant uprisings in the past dynasties.
They revolted because they couldn't survive. However, when they won a certain victory and gained a certain political power, they would unknowingly become the people they gnashed their teeth and hated.
There are even many things that have been done that are more excessive than the ruling class they overthrew...
Of course, it is not enough to just have such a road. The citizens of the Qingque Tribe must also have force. If there is any uneasiness among the slaves, they will use force to suppress them and let them follow this road again.
Because of this road, even if force is used, the slaves will not be driven to a desperate situation.
The cooperation of the two can basically guarantee the long-term stability of the slave system of the Qingque tribe.
The reason behind this is a bit too profound and complicated for Wu.
Han Cheng told him little by little in a way that Wu could understand, so that he could understand the meaning of doing so.
After a long time, Wu gradually understood Han Cheng's intentions in doing this. He was extremely impressed by Shenzi's ability to consider such a long-term and consider such complicated matters.
If it wasn't for Shenzi's explanation, he would never understand that this seemingly simple practice of releasing a small number of people from their status as slaves would have such a great significance, which is directly related to the stability of the tribe in the future.
