writer:易人北      update:2022-07-13 16:35
  Because of the special situation of the Duo-Na Clan, they seldom marry with the outside world, which is not a good thing.

  Why can then the Duo-Na Clan Chief takes heart to bring all Tribesmen all the way to the Jiu Yuan? In addition to the desire for a better living environment, more abundant food, and upper-level training skills, it is also one of the main reasons to seek partners for their children.

  People fear because they don't understand. Generally, a girl or a female slave who comes to a match will be subconsciously scared when he tells them that she wants to be with the two and one of them is a bear. Over time, The Duo-Na Clan out of a strange "inferiority and arrogant" mentality and they changed to become reluctant to integrate with other women. Many the Duo-Na Clan males can't get together with their wives because they can't find wives.

  But that's obviously not the case.

  Na-Rong, the Duo-Na Clan's chief, hopes to join the Jiu Yuan. In the long term, other clans will learn that the Duo-Na Clan's bears and beasts’ relations are actually cute. They look ferocious, but are especially good for their partners. And because the Duo-Na Clan women are hard to come by, the Duo-Na Clan's woman status is naturally higher. The Duo-Na Clan wife is usually the hostess in the family, and the Duo-Na Clan bear is the host. Duo-Na Clan males always have only one partner.

  Na-Rong believes that women who really understand the Duo-Na Clan relationship, they will not be afraid of it. But before they get to know each other better, if they can take this opportunity to find some brave women first, marry those bachelors who have never been able to get married.

  Na-Rong worked hard for the continuation of his tribesmen and wanted to tell the women that the Duo-Na Clan would give them two furs and a bag of red salt each if they would marry.

  Yuan Zhan stopped him and said to Na-Rong in a joking tone, "I really want to give them to you. Keep the girls for the Jiu Yuan. Those on the stage are just war gain, not guests, they are not the Jiu Yuan people, at least not before they marry.”

  Na-Rong woke up from his musing and took a deep look at Yuan Zhan. At this moment, he thought a lot.

  Yan Mo did not squeak a thing. Yuan Zhan's territorial concept is very strong, and his internal and external aspects are very clear, and his tendency to protect his own is becoming more and more obvious. The last time he suggested to him, he separated the slaves from the Jiu Yuan women. If we use a simple word to describe Yuan Zhan's psychology, it is that in his eyes, the Jiu Yuan women are treasures, those other than the Jiu Yuan women are pieces of shit.

  On the other hand, Wu Chen was prompted to introduce the situation of the Duo-Na Clan with a small trumpet, focusing on explaining the special situation of the Duo-Na Clan to the women, expressing their willingness to accept the best and not to accept the same direct refusal as before - although Yuan Zhan said at first that the right to refuse was under 16 years old, Jiu Yuan's warriors did not have the right to refuse, considering that the twisted melon was not sweet, nor did Jiu Yuan's warriors. Is really missing a wife to find a heart unwilling, so before long as truly unwilling, no matter what age and identity, no one forced them.

  But there aren't many people who really refuse. So far, there are only four or five.

  Ye Xing once again reiterated: "You only have this chance. If you refuse, you can only work hard. Because you are all slaves sent by your tribe to make up for the compensation. You must work hard for ten years, even if you marry the Jiu Yuan people after this, you can't change coolie's identity.”

  Ye Xing added a special note: "Coolie is not equal to slavery, because slaves are not free with their lives and can be killed at any time. Without special circumstances, they can never escape from slavery for life. But the coolies are different. As long as the number of years of work is fulfilled, you can be a real Jiu Yuan tribesman. During the period of your being a coolie, your children will not have to shoulder the burden of hard labor regardless of whether their parents are coolies or not. That is just you. Your children were born will get to be the Jiu Yuan people. Besides, coolies are not paid, but the rest of freedom are just like the Jiu Yuan people. If you are bullied, you can get justice back. In a word, think about it carefully, whatever you choose is up to you."

  The women who were sent to be slaves did not quite believe what the two teenagers said. They were afraid that if they refused to marry, they would be a miserable slave and the children born would only be slaves.

  Some women even believe in their doubts, but they are afraid of hardship. They also listen to Ye Xing saying that even if they find the Jiu Yuan people to marry after this, they will have to work for ten years in a ten year period. If they want to marry them now, at least now they are married, they will immediately become the Jiu Yuan people, and do not have to work hard again.

  Of course, there is also no fear of hardship, rather than hard work and no marriage. They either had husbands who were reluctant to look for them, hated the Jiu Yuan people, or had other ideas.

  Encouraged, several of the Duo-Na warriors went to the selection stage together, while warriors with the accompanying bears brought their own bears together.

  When the girls on the stage saw the big bears appear, they were so frightened that they screamed and some even jumped directly off the stage in panic.

  Fortunately, Wu Chen was reminded by Yuan Zhan that a caretaker's selection desk had been arranged to prevent the girls from hurting themselves because they were too panicked.

  Na-Ran, the leader of the Duo-Na warriors who fought with Yuan Zhan in The Black Earth City, also went up. He saw the most beautiful Huang-He.

  Na-Ran patted his big bear brother and walked up to the scared Huang-He who was scared away. He said as gently as she could, "would you like to be with me and my brother? We'll treat you well."

  Huang-He was just about to faint by the big bear. She didn't even hear what Na-Ran was saying. She just kept waving and screaming, "Go away! You go away! Help!

  Na-Ran retreated disappointedly, with the big bear.

  The big bear growled. He thought the girl was too frail to fit them.

  Huang-He was even more frightened when he heard the big bear's roar. She tried to hide back and tears came out.

  Na-Ran wanted to calm her and tell her not to be afraid, but as soon as he lifted her leg, the girl screamed. Before he spoke, the girl cried out of breath.

  Huang-He clasped her hands and shouted, "What are you trying to do? Don't come here! Let me be a woman for you I'd rather die! You savages, you want to make us sleep with the beasts! You…… You might as well kill us! Whoa!”

  Huang-He cried, and the other girls followed. Two girls don't know if they are too afraid, they went on to jump off the platform to die. Unfortunately, the platform is not high and they just twisted their feet when they fall down.

  The women on the stage cried, and the women waiting for selection were afraid. At last, there was a cry in the square.

  On the platform, Yuan Zhan slowly clenched his fist.

  Just then, with a loud bang, Na-Ran's big bear jumped off the stage.

  Na-Ran looked back at him. The big bear waved his paws at him. He could not speak, but he knew that the girls were afraid of him.

  \r \r \r

  Not only girls, but everyone except the Duo-Na Clan, rarely saw them without fear. But the Jiu Yuan people were strange because they saw them and they were hardly fearful. His brother told him that perhaps because the Jiu Yuan people often contacted the Mer-people, he was not afraid of foreign animals. But he feels that the Jiu Yuan people are not afraid that they are not because of the Mer-people, but that because they have been in contact with probably more ferocious Iron-back dragon family and Jiu Feng, they are used to not fearing scary animals.

  Huang-He saw the big bear disappear and was comforted by others. She was a little better.

  Na-Ran looked at Huang-He again and grabbed his head and jumped off the platform. Unwilling to be unwilling, the other side cannot accept his brother, even if he just like her, he will give up.

  This is not the case with Na-Ran. The Duo-Na warriors who came to power were almost rejected.

  The Duo-Na Clan chief sighed, preferring Yuan Zhan to force the girls to marry the Duo-Na warriors.

  Yan Mo has been feeling a little depressed since he danced the comfort dance. He seems a little sad when he saw the Duo-Na Clan. Suddenly, he feels a little unspeakable anger.

  It's not about the Duo-Na Clan, or the women, but about himself.

  If it were not for his stubbornness, he did not need to choose any kind of convention at all. He could directly ordered to distribute the women to all people and groups, or they would not give them the right to refuse at all.

  Did he make a mistake? Yan Mo thought. Maybe he should separate the Jiu Yuan people from the non-Jiu Yuan people, just like Yuan Zhan think?

  He thought they would do a lot for the women, thinking that it would be better than to trade them with other tribes so that they would become slaves or let them work hard for a long time. But maybe from those women's point of view, this spouse selection meeting is just another kind of humiliation, even if they have the right to refuse.

  Another way of thinking is that if Jiu Yuan warriors failed, and he will be forced to give slaves to the enemy, the enemy will not treat the slaves like the Jiu Yuan, but if she wants to be selected, she will have to be a man and be a wife, and she will have to work hard if he does not want her. I'm afraid she won't be grateful to him, but will hate him to death.

  "It's more like need to be a coincidence than to tell them plainly that you are slaves. There is no right to refuse. If you want to, you will not get what you want." Yan Mo sneered at himself.

  He insisted on giving the enemy the right to refuse. Instead, he embarrassed his warriors and violated Yuan Zhan's intention to reward meritorious warriors with these women.

  Which is the reward now? The punishment is worse than that!

  Yan Mo decided that he would not interfere with Yuan Zhan's opinions as long as he did not violate the principles of the Guide when dealing with enemies, prisoners of war and compensation for slaves.

  He still does his priest thing, and Yan Mo thinks a little bit disheartened. He took great pains to achieve equality between men and women, abolish slavery, enact laws that were good for everyone, try not to privilege himself, or even deliberately avoid too obvious class stratification in the tribe, but finally found that slavery might be more suitable for the present Jiu Yuan, which made him stick to everything feel like a joke.

  Yuan Zhan suddenly shook his hand forcefully.

  Yan Mo was too lazy and left him alone.

  Yuan Zhan looked at Priest Da-Ren unhappy, immediately angry, waved, "Eat! Go on after lunch!"

  So the women on the selection stage were pulled down.

  Huang-He was still watching Yuan Zhan before she went down. She couldn't figure out how the Jiu Yuan Chief would let the savages and beasts threaten her if he really liked her. She was almost scared to death just now.

  Two of the Huang Jing girls approached her, held her up and whispered in her ear, "Princess He, what shall we do?”

  Huang-He did not know that it was impossible for her to connect to Yuan Zhan, even though she could not do it by any means.

  "Princess He?” The girl on the left was anxious that she would not marry the savages, let alone the beasts. They were not slaves. They were chosen to encroach on the most powerful persons in the tribe.

  The girls automatically ignored the white haired old priest, targeting only the Jiu Yuan Chief.

  "Princess He, we have to find a way to see Chief Da-Ren here." Another girl bit her lip.

  Huang-He wiped away tears. "What can you do? If I could get close to that, I would never forget you.”

  "Princess He, as long as you are in a good position, we can do anything." The lip-biting girl turned her eyes and said, "I have a way. You can say that you have something important to hand over to Chief Da-Ren here in person, and then wait for him to come to see you, or let you go to see him, so you do……"

  Huang-He listened and cheered up again. She thanked and praised the girl's wisdom wordsin her mouth, and thought that the girl must not stay, otherwise she would become her enemy.

  The people who watched the bustle also temporarily dispersed.

  The Duo-Na warriors gathered together to laugh at each other and soon laughed together.

  "Hello! Do you want a woman? What do you think of me?” A tender hand poked Na-Ran's back.

  The Duo-Na warriors turned their heads together.

  The gorgeous Lang-Ma and the girls of the Granma Tribe smiled at the Duo-Na warriors.

  A Granma Tribe girl stepped forward and pinched Na-Ran arm at random, saying, "Really strong, I like you. Do you want me?”

  Na-Ran face was dull. He has never seen anything like this before. What kind of girl is this forward? The Duo-Na women are also strong, but they do not talk like males.

  "Hey, why don't you talk? Do you like the slave sent by that enemy? If that's the case, then I do not want you.“The girl pouted and turned around.

  Na-Ran felt blessing to the heart, hurriedly whispered: "no no no! Don't go, you and you…… I also have the big bear brother, we are together, you……"

  The girl turned to the dumb looking big bear on one side and tiptoed to touch his head.

  The big bear understands, and even lowered his head voluntarily to let her touch, "Whoop."

  The girl smiled happily. "I know that little Wu Chen said just now that the woman is going to be with your brother the big bear in the couple of the Duo-Na warriors. That's better. You two can fight for more prey and protect me better, right?”

  Na-Ran nodded desperately. The girl looked better than the Huang Jing Chief's daughter. Although her skin was a bit darker, he seemed to like it. No, he likes this kind of skin from today and from now on.

  He really did not think that besides the women and slaves of his own race, there should be such a beautiful young girl who offered to talk to him.

  "The big bear" said he liked the girl very much.

  "Would you like to be with me then?” The girl asked.

  Na-Ran nodded wildly with the big bear.

  The girl pulled Na-Ran's arm. "Well, come with me and we will go to my house! I just got a house in the outer city, and you will be my man and my bear."

  Na-Ran giggled and left the other brothers with the same big bear and the girl.

  The other The Duo-Na warriors were jealous, but before they could get off, several other Granma tribe girls began to talk to them. They didn't make a decision just like the girl just arrived, but they also showed great interest in the Duo-Na warriors.

  The Duo-Na warriors looked at these young and lovely girls, and tears burst into their eyes. Chief Da-Ren, is so great that we came to the Jiu Yuan.

  Yuan Zhan and his Priest Da-Ren, who said they were going to have dinner, came down from the platform side by side and Yuan Zhan comforted him awkwardly as they walked along. "The rules you proposed are not wrong. It depends on the reaction of most people that the Jiu Yuan always followed those rules you made before, now and in the future. It was I who made a mistake and should not use those slaves as a reward. I should let them honestly do ten years of coolie. "

  Yan Mo whisper: "no, it's my fault. If I hadn't insisted on having no slaves in the tribe, you would have to be so troublesome in it. The population is now the biggest asset. If slaves were allowed to exist in the tribe, warriors would fight harder against the enemy and the tribe would expand faster.

  Yuan Zhan raised his hand and seemed to want to rub Priest Da-Ren's head, but maybe considering the occasion, he put it down again. "I said, you're not wrong, you're the priest, even if it's wrong, it's right."

  [1] Darn right that there is a man after your own heart

  Yan Mo could not help but bend his mouth a little.

  Yuan Zhan looked at a shallow dimple under his mouth and wanted to poke it. "In fact, we all had a problem in front of us. We can totally change our way of realizing your idea."

  "Oh? How to change?” Yan Mo looked at him.

  Yuan Zhan held his hand. "In your words, slaves are lifelong, and coolie is not. We can also use the captives or slaves traded by these rival tribes as coolies, but only add years of work to them. We can reward them as laborers to those who are successful. Their owners are responsible for their food, clothing and shelter, and do not need to pay them. Of course, they do not care what they do in private."

  "Then these coolies cannot leave their masters until the stipulated work period is full, and the owners have the right to transfer them, but they must obtain relevant management consent through some procedures. In addition to the reward and welfare, the coolie life is worse than the Jiu Yuan people. All others are the same as the Jiu Yuan people, and after the expiry of the regulations, they can choose whether to become the Jiu Yuan citizen or leave the area. What do you think of that?”

  Yan Mo did not express his opinions immediately. He put them into his brain first and then quickly analyzed their advantages and disadvantages.

  If, according to Yuan Zhan, the coolies could be divided into different ethnic groups and groups according to their merits, and then subdivided into individual heads and leaders.

  Some people may be divided into five, others may only be divided into one.

  This is actually equivalent to letting the meritorious workers get a group of non-remuneration workers. When they are taken back, they will do what they want. They will do their work, wait for them, even if you want to marry one of them, or you want to find a lover in it.

  If anyone does not want these coolies, he can transfer the coolies. He can collect a sum of money transferred or not.

  Warriors will be very happy with this kind of reward.

  As for those coolies, they can eat, drink, live and wear. If they are mistreated by their owners, they will be able to lodge complaints, and this will not be in violation of the Guide as long as they are able to restore their free lives over a full period of time.

  And the remaining coolies managed by the tribes are also the same. If they do well, they can give them a certain reward.

  Now there is only one question left. How do we manage these coolies? Especially the high-ranking and high-ranking warriors with blood ability, how can we control these people not to escape, not to harm the Jiu Yuan people?

  "Stupid! If there is no way, how can the city forces control their private slaves and war slaves?

  Yan Mo did not know that he had asked this question. He heard the voice of the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu, and then stopped and turned back in surprise.

  The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu looked at his apprentice's foolishness and pouted, "Didn't you see it in Yincheng-Sound City? Their slaves should have a slave mark on their foreheads, which is not only a mark, but also a control of soul. But this kind of soul control is relatively simple, and will not turn slaves into wooden puppets. It will only prevent them from running away, committing suicide and doing bad things against their owners.

  Yan Mo immediately asked, "Shifu, will you make this slave mark?”

  The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu rolled his eyes. "This mark was originally created by Wucheng-City of Witches 12th High Priest. Would you say I couldn’t?”

  Yan Mo is delighted to leave Yuan Zhan and go to coax the old man. "Shifu, you are so good, we rely on you for the Jiu Yuan!"
