Juneshi, an orphan in Kangcheng, was eighteen years old. He was adopted by the King of Kang Kingdom since childhood and became one of the eunuchs of the last king Duo.

For this reason, Junesh could read and write Sogdian characters, and it was naturally very rare in the river where the illiteracy rate was as high as 99% of the time. After Ziard massacred all the nobles of Kangguo, people like him, who were born into slaves naturally stayed to assist the cannibals in governing the city.

After the Great Cannibal evacuated, Juneshi was kept by Sun Xiurong again.

Sun Xiurong asked him to assist Kang County (the area around Kangcheng, which was appointed as the county magistrate of Bogda Camp, with nearly 20,000 households, and is the largest county in Zhaowu Prefecture), to re-measure, register, register, allocate and issue land contracts.

This was an unprecedented event in the history of Kangguo.

In previous history, the Seeds first carried out naked slavery here, and the Great Yuezhi later inherited this practice. The Seeds and the Sogdians, descendants of the Great Yuezhi, roughly inherited this practice. However, with many civil servants and military officials and nobles being demoted to the poor, the civilian class began to emerge.

Of course, there are very few such classes, and serfs occupy the main position.

At the beginning, most of the nobles of Sogdian countries were military personnel. Each castle in the oasis area was actually their military fortress. Later, it gradually developed into commercial fortresses and religious fortresses, but the core was still military fortresses, and the status of soldiers was naturally very prominent.

The soldiers all had fiefs, which were criminal at first. Their low-religious status worked as serfs in their fiefs, and later they included the prisoners obtained through war into the serf class, so the scale of serfs became larger and larger.

This is also the case with craftsmen, and it is more appropriate to call them craftsmen slaves.

However, the profession of merchants was a nobleman, and civilians could engage in it. After the time came to the Tang Dynasty, the great merchants with deep backgrounds (mostly with great aristocratic bloodline or relatives of military aristocrats) gradually became alongside the military aristocrats.

For the countries in the river, the biggest threat is naturally war. When war comes, an army composed of nobles or poor people is used to fight, and slaves are regarded as civilians, but merchants are responsible for transporting military supplies, and most of the supplies need to be provided by themselves. This is because the "treasury" of the countries in the river are very small at this time, and the king is just the lords of small countries.

Merchants rarely reject this obligation, but instead take advantage of the opportunity of war to control the production and procurement of military materials. Therefore, most of the workshops in cities of all countries in the river are from merchants.

Soldiers and merchants are the two pillars of the countries. Because the river is located on the main road of the Silk Road, the status of merchants has actually been higher than that of soldiers for hundreds of years. As mentioned earlier, the caravan escort formed by Kutba (a real character) defeated the great uprising of Anguo against the cannibals, which shows how large the scale of its guards is and how elite it is.

Therefore, when the war occurred, the caravan guards who carried food and grass with the team actually became the reserve team of the armies of various countries, and their combat power was no less than that of the regular army.

What are serfs? craftsmen? serfs?

If the landlord rents the land to the farmers and collects a certain amount of rent every year, it is not called a slave, but a tenant, no matter how high the rent is, but a tenant. However, if the food, utensils, and livestock that the farmers, craftsmen and herders are all owned by the landlord/worker/raiser, and the latter only gives different materials according to the performance of the former after harvesting to ensure that they will not die, they are slaves.

At present, the countries in Hezhong are slave countries dominated by slaves.

It is not easy to maintain such a system, otherwise the former army of white-clothed food and border guards would not have easily instigated these slaves to resist the newly-launched food and food and the religion appeared at this time.

Although religion has different names and different contents, it is different in the same way to keep the oppressed class honestly trapped in serving the oppressed class for life.

Where to go?

It's nothing more than heaven and hell.

The current Great Food Army, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism are all like this, but the most powerful ones are Bon Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism, which absorbs most of the contents of Bon Buddhism.

But this problem does not exist for the grassland shaman tribes that are accustomed to the polytheism. There, power and simple rules are everything. By the way, its scientific name is the law of the jungle.

It is completely different for feudal centralized countries like the Tang Dynasty. It also has slaves, and there are many. As slaves to wealthy families, they may live better than ordinary families. Although all the Central Plains dynasties were in the middle and late stages, the land was in the hands of the landlords, the number of civilians was still quite considerable.

This is the foundation of the Central Plains dynasty and the most core issue.

The foundation of his life, but he looked down on him.

This is the key to all problems over the past thousands of years.

But for the Shattered Ye Jun, it is another model.

As one of the main officials of Kang County and who joined the "new regime" system as the chief clerk, the 18-year-old Ju Neish gave him a yard near the Kang County Government after a busy day. He did not start washing up and enjoying meals as soon as possible, but sat in his study and quietly recalling what had happened in the past few days.

At first, he sat cross-legged on the ground, but finally sat about two feet tall and distributed it to officials like him on a chair. On the "table" opposite him, there were a pile of parchment scrolls from his diary.

Although Ye Jun distributed him a lot of paper that was extremely precious in the river, when he only used it when he was working and returned to his home, he was still used to using parchment rolls, and the pen he used was also a quill pen, dipped in the homemade ink with less adhesion ink.

In the past, Kang State also paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi, and the king's subordinates naturally had people who were proficient in Tang Dynasty and Dashi (actually Khorasan Persian), just like the layman in the towns of Anxi.

For the countries in Hezhong, his language is very similar to that of Khorasan and it is very easy to learn, but it is more difficult to learn Tang language than to ascend to heaven. However, Ju Neshi is one of the few people in the Kang country who mastered Tang language.

“Another busy day”

"I have spent the past few days in the countryside of Kang County. Because I am too busy, I have not recorded it. As a devout Zoroastrian and the assistant of Kangcheng Sect, I am really sorry for the great Venerable Light."

"Today, the measurement of the fields has finally come to an end, but I am still excited and cannot calm down for a long time."

"In the past, in Kang State, there were naturally those who estimated the area of ​​land, most of them were senior Zoroastrians, because in Kang State, only senior Zoroastrians had the opportunity to practice Sogdian characters and then learn to simply estimate length, area, and weight."

"In the past, when the Tang Dynasty had the advantage here, the clerks who came here with lay officials would use something called abacus, which could quickly calculate, and those who were skilled could also use other methods to estimate the area of ​​land, but I have never seen an official government like the Sailye Jun."

"It is said that in Talas, Saiye City and other places, Saiye Army has set up schools. In addition to Tangyu, it is a course called arithmetic. There are a large number of methods for performing various calculations. I just heard of it before, but I finally saw it in the past few days."

"The people who measured the land in Sai Ye Jun were all young as me. The oldest was only in their early twenties, and the youngest was only fifteen or sixteen years old. I heard that for this measurement, Sai Ye Jun drew a large number of students who were about to graduate from Sai Yezhou and Yilizhou to help."

"Not to mention the measurement, every time the Sailye Jun entered a manor, he announced the establishment of a certain township and a certain village, and selected the township chief from the retired wounded soldiers who were proficient in Sogdian language. The village chief brought a few people into the manor."

"At the beginning, they gathered everyone in the manor in the prayer square in the park, announced that the Sailing Ye Jun officially took over the manor, and claimed that they would officially distribute the land to the farmers. Although the serfs were a little nervous, they were still very happy to have their own land."

"But strangely, the people of the Shattered Ye Army claimed that these lands belonged to the Shattered Ye Army. The Shattered Ye Army just rented them to farmers to cultivate. Each household signed the lease procedures for 30 acres, and the harvest was collected at 30% of the rent. Although the serfs were a little puzzled, they were still very happy."

"In the past, they worked for a year and paid all the harvest, including grapes, ash trees, apricots, etc. in the front and back of the house, and the lord would pay some to them depending on the situation. In general, taking food as an example, it was actually paid according to 70% of the tax."

"When they were farming the next year, they received seeds from the lords. Generally speaking, 30% of the food was barely enough for their family to fill their stomachs, but they only had a full meal every day. Now it suddenly became 70% left. This is a huge good news. Although they didn't understand why they had to sign the lease agreement, they still burst into strong cheers in the end."

"Then I measure the land. Those students who are about to graduate from Talas and Sailye City are working skillfully in the fields with long ropes with scales. I am very fascinated by all this. It took me a while to figure it out."

"It turns out that they first divided the fields into three categories: rectangles, circles and trapezoids according to the shape of the fields. They used an abacus to quickly calculate their area with an abacus, and then used smaller triangles to continuously summarize the areas of the fields."

"They used the same unit of measurement as the Tang Dynasty, and finally used acres to return to the whole country, but the speed was obviously much faster than the Tang Dynasty. I followed the layman from the Tang Dynasty to Shule Town, where the official Tian Cao also needed to measure and register the newly reclaimed fields, but the speed was more than ten times slower than the Sai Ye Jun."

"They divided the distance between the fields and the channels into three levels, upper, middle and lower. Each household got about the same proportion of third-class fields. Since Kang Guo had not measured it in such a detailed way before, naturally some places had more, and some places had less, and more were included in public fields. It is said that it was the Lutian of the Thunder Ye Jun who had a grade official."

"If there is a lack of it, the township chief will organize farmers to open new fields. If there is really no way, it will be divided according to less than 30 acres."

"Because the great cannibals slaughtered the royal families and nobles in the city during the last conquering Kangcheng, the land outside the city was almost all unbroken. The Sailye Army had no obstacles in the process of dividing the fields this time. Some of them were merchants' fields, and they were all taken back to the government by the Sailye Army using the method of exempting commercial taxes for several years."
