The status of the slaves of the Tang Dynasty has improved a lot.
In the past, the law of slavery was compared to animal property, that is, the law, and slaves were equivalent to livestock, the property of their masters.
The slave trade, which is also generally in the cattle and horse market, is in the same place.
The master killed the slave, punished him to death, and even exchanged it for livestock, all at his own please.
Slaves can also be mortgaged, and when the owner is unable to repay the debt, then the mortgaged slave must be permanently transferred.
In addition, the good and the poor are not married, the slave can only marry the slave, and the child born is directly the slave, which also belongs to the master and is the property of the master.
Even the owner of the slave can be his own slave at any time, and it is not a crime or something.
In a word, the status of slaves in the past is compared to animal production.
The owner can buy, sell, transfer, and reward.
Slaves are only talking tools, and they can be bought and sold and killed at will.
Slaves belong to the untouchables, and the good and the poor are not married.
Although there were rules in the past that slaves could also become freemen, they had to be freed by their masters, and generally had to be freed several times before they could become freemen.
Slaves of the past were indeed not people.
And now Datang still retains slaves, but the management of slaves is completely different, and even the status of slaves is completely different.
Whereas slaves of the past were talking instruments, slaves of today are clearly identified as human beings.
Slaves can be bought, sold, transferred, and rewarded, but slaves may not be arbitrarily killed or injured, slaves may own private property, and slaves may be freed by themselves.
Slaves are still not allowed to marry good people, but slaves can marry good people when they are free.
Even if a slave intermarried with a slave and had a child, the child he gave birth to was no longer the property of the master and no longer a slave, but was born a free man.
Slaves were protected by a minimum wage and enjoyed basic human rights.
That's a lot of progress.
Of course, the needs of society, slaves still exist, and the number of slaves in the Tang Dynasty today is extremely large, as many as fifteen million.
The sources of slaves are also diverse, including the subjects of the enemy country who were captured, such as Goguryeo, which was destroyed, such as the Turks, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, Linyi, etc., who were captured in the war, and there were also those who were reduced to slavery for crimes.
There are also those who have been sold into slavery because of debt problems.
There are even those that are directly sold from overseas, and there are also many barbarian tribes around the Tang Dynasty who have been taken captive.
There are many sources.
There are all kinds of people, different skin colors, different languages, different regions, and even Han Chinese slaves.
Today, the slave trade is still thriving, and there is a high demand for slaves in Gayne.
In particular, slaves were used in mines and workshops, and even though the imperial court stipulated that slaves must be given a minimum wage, their minimum wage was much worse than that of the freedmen.
Even if you can't torture or kill, you can make more money for the slave owner.
A slave who wants to live on his salary will hardly save enough money unless he saves up a penny, does not even get sick, does not marry and has children.
It costs money to get sick, it costs money to marry a wife, and it costs money to have children.
It was precisely because it was so cost-effective to use slaves that the slave trade also flourished.
A strong slave is worth a lot.
Now a cow is only four or five dollars, and a horse is only five or six dollars.
A war horse is only about twenty times.
The best Maxima is only worth more than 100 times.
But a strong slave is worth ten oxen.
If you can speak Chinese, it's more valuable.
There are also some young and beautiful female slaves who will be worth more than men.
The court protected slaves from abuse, but it was a different matter if the slaves themselves wanted to.
A rain of arrows fell, and more than 100 strong Shanyi fell, and Zhang Jing was very distressed to see it.
The most expensive thing about this bull head is not a cow or a horse, but a young and strong slave.
These young and strong mountain farms are brought to the mines to mine, which is extremely popular, and each of them can be sold for a good price.
But now it's gone.
Shanyi is still rushing.

Or that they can't turn back, so they can only continue to rush.
Wow wow screamed, a Shanyi rushed to the shield with a big stick, and just raised the big stick high, but a spear stabbed out from behind the shield, piercing the Shanyi's chest, blood splattered, and Shanyi fell.
As soon as he fell, his position was picked up by another Sanyi, and another spear stabbed out and stabbed him to death.
The shield wall was smashed, but no one could break through it.
The shield wall was half a man high, and the shield soldiers stood sideways, with their feet spread apart, and their shoulders against the shield.
The spearmen in the back repeated the action again and again, stabbing out, retracting, stabbing again.
The shield men and spearmen in the second and third rows were even just holding their postures and listening to the voices in front, they couldn't reach the front at all.
Shanyi couldn't even break the first layer of shield walls, let alone the second and third layers.
Behind them.
Crossbowmen can shoot their arrows into the sky again and again without any pressure.
In front of the shield wall.
The corpses are piling up.
Rivers of blood.
The Shanyi people are still rushing, but the number of people rushing is gradually decreasing.
"Stop Shooting" On the battlefield, the smell of blood rushed to the sky, permeating all parts of the battlefield.
The hands of the archers were a little weak, and the spearmen in the front row couldn't even lift their stabbing hands.
"Guogong, the Shanyi people have retreated."
"They left at least a thousand corpses, but they didn't even break away from our shields."
Zhang Jing sighed.
"In such a short period of effort, I lost at least 50,000 yuan."
He held out a slap and sighed.
Fifty thousand, just a moment of effort, all turned into corpses.
"Replace the first step corps, and this time directly let the co-subordinate brigade go up.
Try to catch as many prisoners as possible, Lao Tzu worked hard to sail from Liuqiu City, not for slaughter. ” Zhang Jing was a little angry.
It's distressing.
A thousand young slaves are gone, worth at least fifty thousand.
Although the Zhang family is not short of money, they are short of people.
Even if these slaves are not sold, the Zhang family themselves need them.
Yangzhou.
Emperor Taishang's fleet arrived in Yangzhou.
When they arrived in Yangzhou, the fleet had to wait here for a group of immigrants who were also going to the Americas.
Li Shimin took Wu, Zhang Chao, Xu Maogong, Wei Chigong and Li Zhi to Yangzhou City with great interest and saw Yang Guang's Jiangdu Palace.
"Yangzhou can have today's prosperity, thanks to Yang Guang's work.
When Yang Guang was the king of Jin, he sat in Yangzhou for more than ten years.
It was under his efforts that Jiangnan was stable and developed rapidly, and Yangzhou became the center of Jiangnan at that time.
It even became an important point of communication between the north and the south, and later Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, moved the capital to Luoyang, and dug the Grand Canal, the city of Yangzhou, also became an important city on the canal, at that time there was even a world rich, Yang Yi Yi Yi two said, prosperous than Chang'an, Luoyang. ” Li Shimin sighed very much.
In fact, Li Shimin admires Yang Guang's cousin very much, this is a talented emperor.
Although it is not quite right, but the ability is powerful.
Compared with his success in winning the throne by relying on Xuanwu Gate, Yang Guang's succession was much easier.
In Li Shimin's view, Yang Guang could have become another Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that he was too impatient, and was finally overthrown by the aristocratic family.
The death of the Sui seems to have died in the peasant uprising on the surface, and the peasant uprising seems to have died because of the conquest of Goguryeo, but in fact, the Sui died in the reform and died at the hands of the nobles.
He Li Shimin also reformed, he was more successful than Yang Guang, he destroyed Goguryeo, destroyed the Turks, destroyed Tuyuhun, destroyed Linyi, controlled the Western Regions, and expanded the land for thousands of miles.
Zhenguan has been in the past ten years, the population has increased greatly, and the world's granaries are full.
But as a result, he was still ousted from power.

Yang Guang died in an aristocratic family and died in reform.
It was Yang Guang's reforms that touched their interests.
And he is good, he suppressed the Guanlong nobles and the Kwantung clan in the early years, but he personally created a more powerful military aristocratic group, and then although the reform was successful, in the end he could not control this group. was driven down by these people led by Zhang Chao.
Although Yangzhou City is not near the sea or the Yangtze River, it is close to the canal and is very close to the Yangtze River and the sea, so that this city has developed rapidly.
It is said that the population of Yangzhou has exceeded one million today.
Walking in Yangzhou, Li Shimin became a little sad.
Looking at the prosperous city, he thought of Yang Guang and the death of Sui II.
And now that he is exiled to the Americas, he may never be able to return to the Central Plains in this life.
What he can't let go of in his heart is still Datang, he doesn't know how long this piece of country that he worked so hard to build back then can last.
Mr.
Zhang Chao told him that there would be no rebellion, but he didn't believe it.
If Li Tang loses the initiative and loses the ability to control the situation, how long can he hold on to relying on Zhang Chao's charity Zhang Chao is not the emperor, his son Northern Zhou and Northern Qi were not established by Yuwentai and Gao Huan.
During his lifetime, Cao Cao also did not usurp the Han Dynasty as emperor.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang Chao received a letter from Han Jing.
About Li Hongtai.
An insignificant little person, but it made a little wave in the Hanjing court.
Now the little man is dead.
Zhang Chao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
His current position, and his strength, are affecting his relationship with Cheng Qian.
The suspicion of the monarch and the minister will inevitably happen.
This time, at best, it was a small temptation.
The relationship between him and Cheng Qian is far from breaking up, but the relationship between the two is indeed changing.
Cheng Qian doesn't have the strength to turn his face with Zhang Chao now, but he is unwilling to accept the current out-of-control situation.
As for Zhang Chao, he didn't think about usurping the throne or anything, he didn't want to do it.
His ideal state is, of course, that Cheng Qian can see the situation clearly, believe in his ideals, and then accept the facts.
He is still the son of the Tang Dynasty, the court is still the Central Celestial Dynasty, and he is still the lord of the world.
It's just that the princes are divided into four sides and hold more power.
However, this requires a change, and Cheng Qian is only afraid that it will be difficult to turn this corner for a while.
Maybe he was still thinking about how to break the situation, but Zhang Chao believed that when the strength of the nobles and princes was a little stronger, when a new balance was formed, Cheng Qian would have to face this fact when he arrived.
At that time, that was when he left the center and returned to his fiefdom.
If he is not in the court, I believe that Cheng Qian will definitely be much easier. t1706231537:
