"Bang!"

The whip was thrown off hard, and the thin slave fell down, but even though the slave was already scarred, he still did not dare to wail. Tianlai Novel

"Don't be lazy!"

The slave owner with a hideous face looked at the slave with a whip with a bad look. The whip was flying in the air, and the crisp sound seemed so harsh.

"Master, please spare me, please spare me, please spare me!"

The scarred slave's face was full of horror, and he struggled to get up from the ground, and then continued to stagger in his work.

"A lowly slave, you won't work hard without whipping it with a whip!"

When the slave owner saw the slave's behavior, he immediately showed a smug look on his face. Then he touched the pet dog in his arms, held his head up and prepared to walk outside the courtyard.

In the eyes of the slave owner, the humble slave in front of him was not even as good as the pet dog in his arms.

Today, in Jiuzhou Great 6, many nobles still keep many slaves in captivity. These slaves have extremely humble identities, even worse than pigs and dogs.

Faced with these slaves, the slave owner has the right to kill and kill, and does not have to bear any legal responsibility at all.

Slaves were not only cheap, but also worked hard, which led to the fact that even many aspiring people advocated the abolition of slavery for more than a thousand years, still failed to fully realize it.

The greatest obstacle is the powerful nobles and slave owners.

"Bang!"

However, just as the slave owner turned around and was about to leave, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly violently kicked open, and five fully armed soldiers rushed towards the slave owner with great momentum.

"Who are you? You dare to trek into a house!"

After seeing the five soldiers wearing armor, the slave owner's face suddenly turned pale. Instead, he did not look at the slightest fear, but instead shouted at the no one.

Although the slave owner is not very respectful, he is also a very powerful local tycoon and is not afraid of the people in the government.

"The General's Order: Any slave owner who owns slaves must restore his freedom within five days, and then go to the government to receive compensation."

"It's the sixth day now, and you have not released your slaves in your family. You have violated the new law. We have the right to detain you!"

He took out a notice for the sergeant, swayed a few times in front of the slave owner, then waved his hand to let the two soldiers behind him come forward and captured the slave owner.

"I have fame and fortune, how dare you catch me!"

The slave owner was furious when he heard this, and struggled desperately, shouting loudly.

This person is not unaware that the government has promulgated new laws, but the government has also promulgated such laws in the past, but they have been obstructed from many aspects, and the new laws always end in vain.

As the times went on, the government changed its orders every day, and its prestige was naturally weaker and weaker. So when the new law to abolish slaves was promulgated again, the slave owner did not take it seriously at all.

Moreover, according to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the punishment is not subject to the officials and the courtesy is not subject to the common people.

Although the slave owner was not a prominent person like a doctor, he also had fame and fortune, so he was naturally not afraid of the officers and soldiers in front of him.

Not to mention that the slave owner did not do something that violated the law, even if he did it, he could offset some of his guilt with his fame and fortune. This made him seem fearless.

"Hmph, the general moved to the streets in Shangqiu to establish his letter. Everyone in Shangqiu knows that the general's words will do their best, but you ignore the general's laws and dare to clamor here!"

"Take this person away and detain him according to law!"

The sergeant looked at the clamoring slave owner, snorted a few times and ignored the person, so he asked the two soldiers to take him away.

It was not until this time that the slave owner's face changed and his body struggled violently, but he could not struggle to get rid of the detention of the soldier.

The abolition of slavery was the first decree issued by General Huan Chang.

Since Huan Chang eliminated all the bandits in the Song Dynasty as a general who was fighting against rebellion, he began to reform the country.

Even with the support of Duke Song and the royal family of the Song State, Huan Chang still planned for a whole year before he began to promulgate the new law.

Before promulgating the new law, Duke Song also promoted Huan Chang's official position to general, in charge of all the troops and horses of Song State, and was one of the most powerful people in Song State.

Because the government changed its orders in the past, whenever the government issued a new law, the people would not take it seriously at all, thinking that this law could not last long, let alone obeying it with care.

In order to regain the prestige of the government and establish personal prestige, Huan Chang erected a piece of wood at the city gate, telling the people that as long as someone could move the wood to a two hundred meters above the city gate, he would get 100 taels of gold.

This kind of thing is very simple, and adult men can do it easily, but no one comes forward to move the wood, because everyone doesn't believe in the government, let alone believe that you can earn a hundred taels of gold so easily.

Later, a thin boy of sixteen years old moved the wood with a try-making attitude in order to raise money to see his mother at home, and he actually got a hundred taels of gold.

By this time, Huan Chang-speaking the image of "Music" being the one who had done the job was imprinted in everyone's hearts, and the prestige of the government was also enhanced.

Therefore, when the slave owner remembered that this decree came from General Huan Chang, his face changed drastically.

"You two gather all the slaves here and take them to the government to get their household registration."

The sergeant glanced at the thin slave, with a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, and then ordered to the other two soldiers.

The thin slave who was pushing the mill suddenly flashed in his eyes after hearing the sergeant's words.

However, the sergeant ignored the scarred slave and instead strode out the door.

Because, today he still needs to do a lot of the same things.

At the same time, many similar things happened inside and outside Shangqiu City. Many nobles, powerful people and slave owners thought that the new laws promulgated by the government this time were just for the sake of doing things.

Therefore, many people did not restore freedom to their slaves within five days.

When fully armed soldiers rushed into the mansions of these people, they suddenly woke up, but they were still a little unbelievable.

During this process, some domineering nobles and powerful men did not take the soldiers seriously at all, let alone be taken to the government by the soldiers.

Those who are too excessive may even send home guards to injure soldiers.

In this way, these people seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest. Soon a large group of soldiers surrounded these noble mansions and captured all the relevant people.

If there are still people who resist, kill them on the spot.

Within one day, the entire Shangqiu City caused huge waves, and many nobles and powerful men were taken to the government after being caught off guard.

The people looked at the soldiers coming and going and escorted the nobles away, and they all felt like they were in a dream.
