Longevity Story

1050. Responsibility in other words means taking the blame. Who can afford countless "others"?

Senior Guanpao looked at Jin Zha, who had a prudent personality and heard [Live sacrifice], his brows gradually wrinkled, his face became more and more gloomy, and his mood became worse and worse. He exclaimed in relief:

"Junior Brother, I know that this kind of thing is not good for the senses and makes people feel bad, but in the end, the sacrifices used for living sacrifices are only limited to death row prisoners and some old slaves in prison. The life and death of these people are irrelevant. You don't need to worry about the little things that matter."

"...It's irrelevant, it's important?" Jin Zha asked indifferently.

"Yes, it doesn't matter." Senior Brother Guanpao said aloud, taking it for granted:

"The reason why living sacrifices appeared is because when the fortunes of the ancient human race were in decline, our ancestors, in order to resist the invasion of barbarian beasts and evil monsters, countless heroes voluntarily sacrificed their heroic human race to burn the last ounce of effort and heroic soul; In order to be able to contribute their own efforts, the clansmen who cultivate talent voluntarily threw themselves into the furnace to contribute their souls.

"Now, our human race has become the leader of all spirits, living up to the glory of our ancestors. Therefore, the cruel living sacrifice gradually became a taboo sidewalk."

This is the history of living sacrifice in the annals of human race, and it is also the irrefutable glory of the taboo of living sacrifice at the beginning.

"Those death row prisoners were originally guilty of heinous crimes and should be sentenced to capital punishment. Why would they rather die in vain, with blood stained on the guillotine, and their corpses turned into a handful of loess, instead of allowing them to play some role in the DPRK?" His face was majestic and upright, without the slightest hint of pity:

"I know you may not be used to this, junior brother, but the DPRK and China have their own special personnel responsible for this matter, and it will not be announced to the public. You don't have to worry about it at all."

The meaning is roughly [this matter has nothing to do with you at all, even if you know it, don't join in blindly, and it's not using someone you know as a sacrifice, you have a psychological pressure on the wool] - but, the emotional intelligence of the official robe senior brother Obviously higher than Jin Zha, the words are quite euphemistic.

However, Jin Zha did not stop there, and continued to ask with a stunned look:

"Isn't it enough? Compared with the number of wooden armored machines I have seen, the number of death row prisoners is simply not enough, right?"

"Oh...that's right, there are not many death row prisoners in the land of Dashang. Ordinary prisoners are sentenced to hard labor, and the DPRK will naturally not drag them to live sacrifices."

The laws of the Great Shang Kingdom were generally not strict for the common people.And because people's lifespan increases due to practice, the prison term can also be extended according to the actual situation.

Although there are various types of torture, due to the practice of the exercises, not many are left with lifelong disabilities, and more are cast into slavery and lose their freedom.

In contrast, the culpability required by the death penalty and capital punishment is very heavy, and the number of people who commit such culpability is not very large.

"So, a large part of the sacrifices in the live sacrifices are old slaves who have lost the ability to work - this is something that can't be helped, and the court needs to be able to keep these people in vain." Brother Guanpao replied with a cold face.

"Why?! Slaves will be sacrificed alive when they are old... The big business nation so desperately needs so many wooden armor machines, why is it?" Jin Zha is a little anxious for some reason. Many questions are that he is in Chentangguan, What Wulongshan had never encountered before was spinning around in his mind.

This made the question he asked a little incoherently.

First of all, in the workshop and in the garden, a lot of young men's labor is indeed needed, and in the flower street and the willow alley, in the kitchen of the house, it is indeed necessary for young women to maintain - this is a fact, this is common sense.

Even if there is a cultivation method to maintain, after all, it will not be able to live forever. The slave Shouyuan will soon lose the ability to move, lose the beauty of the moon, and become useless. Continuing to live will require the owner to support him in turn - this is nature, this is the way of heaven.

The master is kind, sympathetic to the old slave, and it is naturally good to support the slave, but not everyone is kind, and will drive the old slave out of the mansion with a near-shouyuan. ——This is red dust, and it is also humane.

Slaves are not considered to be the people of the big business country in the law. They have no surnames, they have no right to erect monuments and enter their homes, and they are not protected by the law. This also seems reasonable.

However, none of these could convince Jin Zha in his heart, so he could only open his mouth and ask his senior brother:

"Why is Dashang so eager to expand the scale of wooden armored weapons?"

Yes, the original living sacrifices are abandoned historical remains, and there is no need to take them out at all.

Even if the death row prisoner returns to the loess in vain, no one will care, even if it is wasteful, and the old slave can kill himself even if he is not supported, and no one will care.

It is because of the need for living sacrifices that they were excavated from the cemetery again, regardless of their own will being burned and used.

"It turns out that, junior brother, you only study the way of refining tools, and it is normal to not know." After thinking about it, senior Guanpao explained helplessly:

"The immediate reason is of course that we need to expand our military."

"why--"

"Well, I know, you want to ask why you need to expand the army?" Brother waved the sleeves of his official robe, his tone was helpless:

"The expansion of the army is of course to expand the territory and plunder more slaves.

"Why do you need more slaves? Because the construction of the land of big merchants urgently needs more people to participate.

However, due to various reasons, the population growth of the big business country is really slow. In recent years, the DPRK has thought of many ways, but no matter how much they appeal, most of the people are unwilling to multiply their children.

Even if they have children, they are unwilling to let them enter the army that may die. Most people look down on the army that has made great achievements...

The population is decreasing day by day, and the people are becoming more and more picky about their work requirements. Most of the dirty work can only be done with slaves...

Even more and more young people are not willing to work at all, they are only willing to be crippled, literati, poets, tourists...

On the black market, [Shengxianwan] [Happy Water] is rampant, and the backstage is so big that it can't be suppressed...

Everyone is not looking for a living honestly, and they dream all day long that they will be chosen by the various immortal schools in Kunlun Mountain for their qualifications, and they will soar into the sky to become gods...

Are fairies so good? !Qualifications are innate, right?Pills are bought with money, okay?

The battle of the Dao, thousands of people do not know it?What are you daydreaming about? !

Let me see the reality clearly..."

I don't know why, the more senior Guanpao spoke, the faster he spoke, and the more hysterical his tone became, as if he was venting the dissatisfaction that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.

"...In short, as I said, the administrative and political development of the big business country is at a time when it is in trouble. It is a fact that it is helpless to do this, but it is also a decision made after careful consideration by the military officers and sages of the court.

"I also hope that junior brother, you don't have any inappropriate words and deeds because of your personal likes and dislikes, and you will miss your future."

"……I see."

Seeing that he was still familiar with him, the senior brother who used to play with him and had a good time with wine now has a strange expression on his face, Jin Zha, who was depressed in his heart, didn't say much.

I understood the meaning of my brother's words, and it was nothing more than telling him to be cautious in his words and deeds, otherwise don't blame him for being unsympathetic... that's all.

It's nothing, Jin Zha can understand.

only……

"Senior brother, I'm not an official in the court, and I don't have the qualifications to make decisions, but there is one thing, I ask you to agree to it." Jin Zha took two steps back and bowed his hands.

"Junior brother, why are you doing this?" Senior Brother Guanpao had a bit of bitterness on his face, and then said: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"This is my work, called [Weaving Pagoda]. I only hope that it, and the [Weaving Pagoda] that will be made by imitating it in the future, will not be replaced by others in any form."

"...I promise you, heaven is a lesson." Senior Guanpao didn't hesitate, just stunned for a moment and then agreed.

In Guanpao's opinion, although the weaving tower is a powerful tool for quickly building city walls and bunkers, it does not require high mobility and flexibility, and it is always based on the earth, and it is enough to have the earth veins to gather spirits.

Therefore, in order to save his image in the eyes of his younger brother and his younger brother, and to save this friendship, he agreed on his own accord.

"Then, Jin Zha will leave here first. Senior brother, please do it." After saying that, Jin Zha turned around with a look of unintelligible thoughts, ready to leave.

Seeing this, Senior Guanpao hesitated to say anything, so he silently revealed the magic weapon and prepared to put away the [Weaving Pagoda].

But at this moment, Jin Zha stopped, turned his head and said:

"Senior brother, I have a hunch that if I stop here and close my eyes and ignore this matter, my Dao heart will be dusted, and in all likelihood, it will turn into Dao ashes in the Ascension Thunder Tribulation."

"...You turned around to leave, I thought you weren't so pedantic yet." Senior Guanpao twitched at the corners of his eyes: "Yes, I'm wasting my words."

"But, um, you know, I'm stupid, and I don't know how to refute you." Jin Zha said in distress, then his figure gradually faded, and finally he left a voice:

"So I went to find my third brother. He is more articulate and has a lot of tricks... Bye, I will visit you again."

Brother Guanpao watched Jin Zha leave and reacted, then anger and irritability surged into his heart, and he jumped and cursed in the soundproof barrier:

"Gan X, why!~

"I didn't propose or take responsibility for this, nor did I implement it. I'm just a well-informed history, and I'm just a minister in charge of a department. One pot, am I easy?!—"

1051. The best equipment, you can send it when you meet. (not much nonsense)

It has been several days since the towering tower appeared.

It stands quietly next to the construction site where the slaves work, and its presence makes the slaves who rarely touch new things look at the thing before and during work every day, and think about what it is in their hearts. , what will be the use.

Although they all know that this kind of thinking is meaningless to slaves of their status, it is difficult for them to have anything to do with that kind of fetish that penetrates the sky.

However, it is not an exaggeration to use the reverie in the heart as a ray of adjustment in the boring work, and it is also one of the few powers that these people are allowed as slaves, or it can be exaggerated as "entertainment".

In addition to the heavy and boring work, before the fact that they are oppressed, squeezed, and deprived of all freedoms cannot be shaken, only this change in the surrounding environment can give them the only trace of freshness left.

And this kind of freshness, with the loss of time, the slaves and animals working near it also began to gradually adapt and become familiar with it.

Since it is another great spectacle erected by the nobles of the palace, perhaps it is to show some merit, or perhaps it is to commemorate some significance - just like this stone statue they are building - meaningless maybe it is them The meaning that is established can also be said to be able to overcome various difficulties and build, and this kind of project itself has meaning.

However, this kind of slaves and animals will not think too much. Anyway, they are not allowed to learn and think. They just need to look up.

Even if these spectacles are built with their blood and sweat, they are not comparable to the corn cakes and sleep every night in a practical sense - if there is some water and minced meat in the soup for dinner, you can start work without being disturbed. The overseer woke Liwei with a leather whip, that's all the more so.

But I don't know if it was God's will or man-made, just at such a coincidence, the "high tower" suddenly came alive——

Accompanied by the roaring sound and the slight ground movement that spread several miles away, the building that was originally mistaken for a "high tower" by the slaves next door stretched out its "arms" like a real giant. , in the terrified eyes of the surrounding people, he lifted a huge boulder that required dozens of people to carry, and placed it on the top of the semi-finished building accurately and quickly. Although the whole process was obviously slow because it was the first time, it was So easy to write.

Then, without any stagnation, the "giant's arms" moved again, and then built bricks and stones one after another into high-rise buildings, and gradually became proficient...

"...Ah... acridine!..."

"Uh!~..."

I don't know who started it. When the slave boy came back to his senses, a group of people were already kneeling around, and as if this fear and panic could be contagious, there were more slave slaves making sounds of horror one after another. Then he fell to his knees, wishing to bury his head in the soil.

The slave boy turned his eyes around at a loss, holding the fiber rope attached to the stone in his hand, looking around, not knowing what to do.

——When he was brought to Chaoge City when he was young, he did not realize that the tall giant stretched out his arms and the blood and bones that swept away countless small tribes and smashed the blood and bones of countless tribe warriors. The appearance of the wooden armored machine weapon that shattered the wild hearts of countless people and demoted them to slaves is so similar.

——The same great strength, the same hugeness, the same coldness, the same irresistible.

The slave boy didn't understand why everyone fell to the ground as if they had seen a nightmare.

The only one who stood at the beginning was at a loss, and when he looked up at the huge shadow that seemed to be unstoppable by human beings, his legs also began to lose strength and began to tremble.

However, I don't know why, in the bottom of my heart, in the unknown shadow, endless humiliation and anger, black mud-like hatred also began to roll faintly, boiling...

【Crackling—】

The sound of a whip blowing exploded, followed by the tearing of flesh and the screams of human voices.Not surprisingly, the distant supervisor's scolding voice stopped the situation from spreading further:

"Get up, get up, you pigs! ~ Keep working! You don't have time to rest!"

Then, a few more whips sounded from far or near, and the slaves got up in a panic but in an orderly manner. They quickly picked up the work at hand and resumed their work. Everything was back on track.

"Let's be happy, you guys, just now there was news from above that all the people who carried the stones were withdrawn and went to the polishing field. From now on, you will no longer need to carry the stones."
