After the summer harvest, more and more caravans traveled between Liao and Donghu.

Herders discovered that merchants from Liao this year traded wool that herders believed was of no use in various tribes of the grassland.

After June, they brought salt, cloth and other supplies that the grassland herders were in urgent need of insemination, and then took away cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock that were urgently needed in Liao areas from the grassland.

Among these merchants, many herders also knew that a new leader has come to the Liao land adjacent to them. The leader of this Liao land is the king's grandson on the largest land.

The king's grandson now stipulates on his own land that no matter the Donghu people or the Yan people, as long as they are willing to live, work, and pay taxes, the government will treat them equally, resettle houses and allocate land. They will be registered and become a Yan people. Moreover, starting from the second half of the year, every Yan people in Liao land can obtain salt and cloth at an extremely low price based on the certificates given by the government.

Chima was originally a member of another small tribe of Donghu, but later his small tribe was annexed by the Mobuda tribe. Chima and his wife's family became slaves to the Mobuda tribe.

Chima and his wife, a nine-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl. They now mopped the horses for the tribe leader every day, and their wife took her two children to farm the fields for the leader's family every day.

This tribe is not far from Liaodong County, and the nearest place is less than 200 miles away from Wangping County. It is naturally a lot of information received from Liao.

Chima naturally received this news, and he didn't care at first, so he could only sigh that his tribe members in the Donghu tribe in Liao were so lucky. He could meet such a kind and generous leader in Liao. But as time went by, the more information he received, he naturally had new ideas in his heart.

Especially on this day, when Akama was about to rush the horse to herd, a caravan that was trading with the Mobuda tribe from a distance ran over and shouted from a distance: "Is it Uncle Akama?"

Chima was stunned and looked up at a caravan guy running over. He was stunned for a long time before he recognized Da Lei, the son of the former friend of the tribe, and said happily: "Dai Lei, is it you? You dress like this, I didn't recognize you."

Then he looked around vigilantly, waved his hand, and led the way to the side, and lowered his voice: "Why are you here? Go quickly, don't let the people from the Maupta tribe recognize you."

Da Lei smiled and casually untied a wooden sign with a name engraved from his waist, saying to Chima: "Uncle Chima, it's okay. I am a Yan native now, and now a clerk in this caravan. Even if someone recognizes it, they dare not do anything!

Uncle Chima, are you okay with the aunt and the children? Why are you dressing like this? What's the matter with the injury on your neck? This leader Mobuda is not alone."

Chima hurriedly covered Da Lei's mouth and said softly: "Don't speak loudly. If the people from the Moboda tribe listen to the sermon, the uncle will be finished."

Da Lei shed tears, took out a string of bright swords from his arms, handed them to Chima and said, "Uncle Chima, you can take this little money, I can see that your life is not easy."

Chima looked at the clothes Dalei was wearing, and then saw Dalei's rosy face, with an envious expression on his face.

He pushed the money back and replied to Lei: "Child, it's not that the uncle doesn't want your money, but that I can't have money. I am a slave now. Even if you give me this money, I have to hand it over to the Mobuda family. Tell me about your experience over the years, okay?"

Da Lei nodded and said to Chima: "After the tribe was captured, my parents took me to escape to Liaodong. My life was not as good as before, so my parents and I hid in Tibet.

But at the end of last year, a new leader came to my Liao land, and we all respectfully called him the "Little Marquis". We told us that we could all become Yan people and gave us houses, land and food.

Uncle Chima, now we are in Liaodi, as long as we work, we can get money, and we have endless food and salt. This time, this caravan is coming to the grassland and need a guide, so he attracts me. I didn’t expect to meet you.”

Then he lowered his voice and said to Chima: "Uncle Chima, you and the aunt will take the children to our Liao land! This place is not far from our Liao land, you can get there in a day and a night of changing horses. Our little marquis once said this, "Born as a human being, you should not be a slave."

If you arrive in our Liao land, you will become a Yan people. No one can beat you or scold you at will. You will be able to share houses and land like my family. As long as you work, you will have endless food and salt...

Uncle Chima, the caravan called me, I'm leaving, your family should take care of you. After you go back, think carefully, what I'll say to you today."

Chima was absent-minded during the whole day of herding, and his words of answering thunder kept echoing in his mind.

"Born as a human being, you should not be a slave."

At night, I returned to my dilapidated tent, and I didn't eat, so I sat there blankly.

My wife, who had been working hard for a whole day, saw that Chima was thinking about her heart today. After the children were asleep, she came to her husband and said, "What's wrong with you today? I see that you have thinking about her, can you tell me?"

Chima sighed, told his wife what he met Da Lei today, and said to him.

The wife was also stunned and said, "I can really live such a good life. If we can live such a day in our family, it will be worth it if I die!"

Chima looked at his wife, and suddenly a dazzling light appeared in his eyes, and he quietly said to his wife: "We also go to Liao, we also want to be Yan people, and we also want to live such a good life.

The little marquis from Liao was right, "Born as human beings, we should not be slaves." We will not be slaves. You can prepare well in the past two days and bring food for a few days. I will make arrangements and let us take the children away while I am grazing. Remember, you must not let go of the news."

The wife also had hopeful eyes in her eyes, and she hugged Akama tightly and said, "I'll listen to you."

Two days later, Chima took the opportunity of grazing and led six good horses. Early in the morning, he and his wife took their children and rode south to the south and defected to Liao.

When the tribe leader Mobuda learned the news, it was already evening. After sending people to Liaodi for a while, he could not see the Chima family, so he had to curse the person in charge of his family and whip it.

When Chima's family arrived at the shelter station in Wangping County overnight, they saw many people like themselves, all of whom came to join the Liao area.

After registering the information of Chima, a person in charge of the shelter station took out a few wooden signs engraved with the information of Chima and handed it to Chima. He smiled and said to Chima: "I gave you a name of Yan, Ma, and Chi. From now on, your children will be like you, the surname Ma, and will no longer be slaves without the surname.

Place your home in a new homestead, where there are many people who have the same experience as you. In addition to allocating houses to your home, you will be divided into 80 acres of wasteland according to your family’s population, and you will go and reclaim it yourself. Now you are a Yan people, and you and all Yan people in Liao land enjoy the same treatment, and you can buy salt, grain and cloth at a low price.

By the way, the best war horses you brought are all good ones. Our government can buy them at a fair price. Of course, this is your private property, and you can't sell them. We don't force them."

Chima family held a wooden sign proving their identity and cried with their heads. They were now a Yan man, no longer a slave. They had their own house and land.

Everyone in the shelter station is familiar with this matter and knows that these people need to vent.

Red Horse, no, it's horse Chi now.

After Ma Chi finished crying, he stood up and said to the shelter station clerk who was waiting for him to answer whether to sell horses: "Sir, I don't have these six horses to the government, I don't have any money."

"Ma Chi, this is not possible. Now our Liao area has various regulations on this, especially the people's private property cannot be violated. If you are willing to sell the horse to the government, you will have made contributions."

After taking the money from the government to sell horses and having a free lunch, the Ma Chi family and several families, experienced the same experience as his herdsmen and slaves, followed the resettlement officials sent by the government to the Xinzhenzhuang.

A pair of children were playing in their own courtyard, while his wife was in the house with tears in her eyes and looking around at her new home. Although the walls were empty, Ma Chi felt happiness and peace of mind that she had never felt before.
