I am cultivating immortals in the martial arts world

Chapter 244 The King of Jie and Zhou!
Farmers are equivalent to landlords, but their status is many times higher than that of landlords.

Because the relationship between the landlord and the tenant is protected by the government, and the tenant also has to pay rent.

Take the well-known Zhou Papi as an example.

At most, he crows in the middle of the night... Bah, the cock crows in the middle of the night.

But in the Seljuk Empire, it was common for cocks to crow in the middle of the night. Some farmers even invited friends to shoot some sick and weak serfs as targets.

Just like China's autumn hunting.

Of course, not all farmers are like this, but most of them don't treat serfs as human beings.

Taking Huaxia as an example, the most common landlords who are also the largest in number will often buy good tenants, for fear that the tenants will not cultivate the land for themselves.

Some better landlords will even give away some delicious food during the holidays.

The worst ones are at most not giving food and drink, but they will not abuse the tenants. At most, they will do some inappropriate things during the busy farming season, such as using people as livestock.

But in the Seljuk Empire, in ordinary times, what they did was the same as what the landlords did during the busy farming period in China.

Moreover, it will be even more excessive.

Therefore, serfs who couldn't bear it would naturally run away.

However, these people often have little knowledge, and at the same time, because the farms do not meet very well, they can't even communicate with each other.

In this way, if they want to escape, they will choose places that they have heard of often or are relatively well-known.

For example, Damascus.

After these people ran away, some of the farmers were able to chase them, while others didn't even know how to chase them. At the same time, they took their anger out on the remaining serfs.

Then, a vicious circle is formed.

Good times are good, farmers often eat well and dress well, and they will naturally be in a good mood.

Farmers are often pretty good at times like this...relatively speaking.

But once encountering war years and famines, these farmers would become extremely irritable, and then they would take their anger out on the serfs.

After all, their status is actually not high.

Compared with the nobles, these farmers are roughly equivalent to the small landlords in China, belonging to the bullied class.

They dare not take their anger out on other farmers, let alone nobles.

And the nobles are constantly taxing them, which annoys them.

How to do it?

Take out your anger on the serfs!
and so.

Once there are famine years and plague seasons, there will often be a lot of serfs running away.

I really can't stand it.

Of course, these people are not all lucky to be able to go to such a famous city as Damascus.

Some serfs will be captured by other farmers and become serfs...

Those who went to Damascus were only a small part.

Simultaneously.

These serfs have nothing to do with the Seventh Prince and the great nobles of Damascus.

At least, on the surface it has nothing to do with it.

Moreover, these noble families do not lack serfs. There are many serfs in their families, and some even live well... This is one of the reasons why serfs go to famous cities. Serfs want to be serfs of noble families.

Ever since, no one cares about this group of people.

Those with a better temper, such as the Seventh Prince who doesn’t care about anything, can still go to the city, meet some kind-hearted people and barely survive... a little something from the hands of the nobles is enough for them to eat and drink for a long time , not to mention that there are many opportunities to work in big cities.

If they encountered bad tempers, these serfs were often not even eligible to enter the city.

Of course, the reason why these people are poor and sick is mostly because most of the cities nowadays are not very big, so many people are crowded together, and they don't pay attention to hygiene, so they can easily get sick.

"God, is there such a thing in the world?"

After listening to the description, Zhang Zeduan was dumbfounded.

He hasn't understood the relationship between nobles, farmers and serfs, but he already understands why the seventh prince doesn't care about it.

It's not necessary, and it really has nothing to do with him.

But Zhang Zeduan couldn't accept it.

As an orthodox and somewhat pedantic Chinese scholar, he decided to offer advice in his own capacity.

"Painter Zhang, do you understand now?" After the nobleman finished speaking, he hugged a beautiful woman with a smile. After a while, the two of them looked away and laughed.

"Seventh Prince!"

Zhang Zeduan took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I dare to ask the Seventh Prince to send people to guide the victims in the city, order them to reclaim the surrounding wasteland, and strictly prevent them from gathering together, so as to control the plague... In this way, Damascus is in trouble. The situation is solved."

Wen dies to remonstrate, Wu dies to fight.

This is a very traditional Chinese practice.

Zhang Zeduan also thought about what to do after entering the court, but he never had a chance.

He didn't really have a chance until he came to Damascus.

"Painter Zhang!"

The seventh prince said angrily: "I think you came from afar and don't understand the customs of our Seljuk Empire, so let's forget about it. But now that you have understood the formation of serfs, why do you still open your mouth?"

When he has no temper?

He definitely respects Zhang Zeduan, even if he doesn't respect this person, he will still respect Da Song behind this person.

However, some things really cannot be changed just by changing them.

Also reclaim the surrounding farmland?
Isn't this a joke?
Who became the nobleman after reclaiming?Who will be the farmer?Who will manage the surrounding area?who...

So many problems, how to reconcile?

If Zhang Zeduan wasn't from Song Dynasty, the Seventh Prince would have been furious by now.

"If so..."

Zhang Zeduan sighed, took a deep look at the Seventh Prince with a long name in front of him, shook his head and smiled wryly: "I can only resign."

"Well, okay, this prince doesn't intend to detain you, so you can go if you want." The seventh prince waved his hands with a smile.

He won't get angry over such a small matter.

After all, Zhang Zeduan himself was not from the Seljuk Empire, so staying here was just a guest.

It is absolutely impossible for him to give him a title of nobility.

After all, there are too many interests that need to be considered, and the Seventh Prince is at a critical moment, so naturally he can't make promises casually.

However, he really liked Zhang Zeduan, and originally planned to wait for the Eastern Expeditionary Army to come, take advantage of the chaos to recover some lost land, and then really give him a noble title.

After all, Zhang Zeduan is from Song Dynasty.

The seventh prince really wanted to see how this visitor from the Song Dynasty would settle down in Seljuk.

It's a pity that the two can't get together after all.

The Seventh Prince sighed in his heart: "As for the title of nobility... let's give it to whoever provides the most soldiers when the war starts again."

Barbarian!

What a barbarian!
Zhang Zeduan originally thought that he would be retained, and then the Seventh Prince, who is good at listening to others, would make some corrections. Who knows...

Of course, he didn't mean that he was nostalgic for wealth and honor. If he said it sincerely, he didn't need to spend money to go to Goulan in Song Dynasty.

What is the wealth here?
He's just angry.

Angry at what the other side does not change.

Simply stupid.

Do not!
The king of Jie and Zhou!
Zhang Zeduan stared at the enjoying Seventh Prince, and snorted coldly: "It's really summer insects that can't speak ice, well frogs that can't speak sea!"

"Ah? What did Master Zhang say?" The Seventh Prince was at a loss.

He can't understand.
