"The whip broke through the air, and the iron chains sounded... Under the guidance of soldiers holding weapons, slaves and civilians began to build rammed earth walls, expand roads, build altars and temples..."

"Of course there is also the palace of the city-state masters... These city-state masters who have been upgraded from tribal lords are no longer willing to work with the people, nor are they willing to eat, drink and live together..."

"The oppression of people on people is getting more and more harsh. What is the first one? It's a slave!"

"Attack other tribes and plunder the population as slaves, and these tribes may be only a few dozen miles apart, and now it seems that there is not even a village..."

"According to the view of today's people, these are all fellow villagers, and they need to be polite and mutually helpful relatives! How can they oppress themselves into slaves?"

"With the slave, is this man's oppression over people over? Yes, Yes... Slaves were enough at first, but gradually the slaves were not enough!"

"At this time, corvee service appeared! Slavery can be said to be the oppression of one nation on other nations, but the corvee service system is the oppression of one nation on its own people!"

"Forcing one's own tribe members to assume obligations, and how many days of work to the city-state every year will be given to the city-state! Whether it is to repair city walls, dredge rivers, reclaim wasteland... and even organize a voluntary battle with foreign races and continue to expand the city-state!"

The ghost eunuch Chanu smiled so fiercely, "Later... the city-state became stronger and stronger, the city was prosperous and the army was huge, and the city-state was no longer satisfied with only one city!"

"They began to expand. This time they did not annex the small tribes, but instead focused their attention on other city-states in the distance!"

"Okay... Your Majesty, this country will appear, and multiple cities will form together and a country will be formed!"

"As people's pace of exploring the distance becomes busier, the trade route appears... A wonderful thing was born in the human world!"

"What is this? That's money!"

"It's great to have money! I can buy your wine, cattle and sheep, and you can buy my weapons and slaves!"

"When the king saw such good money flowing, how could he not reach out? In this way, taxes appeared again!"

"Hahaha... Your Majesty, with slaves, corvee, taxes... These are all chains imposed on the people, and they are all about plundering the wealth created by the people!"

"So how to maintain such a plundering game forever and immortality? The punishment comes!"

"Punishment! People are still afraid..."

The tea slave calmed down and looked at the stupid Zai Chun for a long time before he spoke, "Your Majesty, do you guess why I talked about these things from thousands of years ago? These meaningless topics!"

Zai Chun shook his head desperately!

"Oh... Your Majesty, everything I said is to ask Your Majesty a question!"

"From ancient times, humans created slavery, corvee system, tax system, and punishment system... All these systems make the people unhappy, and even make the people hate them!"

"But such a system that is angry and resentful... why can't it be banned? Why have these systems become increasingly strict and unviolable over the past few thousand years?"

"How come this system that does not make people feel comfortable and feel pain and despair cannot be abolished, but the more it develops, the more it becomes, the more it is, the more it is, the more it is impossible to challenge?"

"This is a question! Your Majesty...have you ever thought about this question?"

"I... I think about it, I think about it... But hasn't this slavery been abolished long ago..." Zaichun couldn't continue to say this. Isn't the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty actually a variant of slavery?

The tea slave smiled sinisterly and said, "There are really no slaves? Haha... Your Majesty, don't deceive yourself. Then is the British who are equal to Qing people? Are Africans humans?"

"Your Majesty, you have to think about it carefully... the tea is really cold!"

The fire in the small red mud charcoal furnace began to fade, and the sky outside seemed to gradually dim. I don’t know what time it was, but it was definitely not wrong at dusk!

Suddenly, an indescribable sense of fear surged in Zaichun's heart. He seemed to feel that something terrible would happen after the charcoal fire was completely extinguished!

Or when the sun that had sunset completely disappeared, maybe he would never be able to walk out of this small courtyard. Subconsciously, he turned back to the door and looked, and sure enough, some fog suddenly appeared in the closed palace gate!

The fog is gradually spreading, and gradually there is a feeling of completely devouring the portal! Can you say that if you can't understand anything, you will be locked here forever?

"No...no no...no...don't close the door...I'm going back to review the memorandum..."

"Hahaha... Your Majesty... You haven't answered the old slave's question yet..." The tea slave's face became paler and pale, and the panic in Zaichun's heart became even worse and worse!

"I, I...I know...I know the answer...I remember the master once told me...Don't close the door...Don't..."

Zai Chun was so anxious that he was sweating all over. Suddenly, he yelled and a light of inspiration appeared in his mind, "I remember! I remember the master once said... it was competition! It was driven by the war between humans!"

A word suddenly ignited the charcoal fire, and a bright light appeared in the charcoal that was gradually extinguishing!

"I remembered...I know the answer to your question! Humans come from nature, from tribes to city-states, and then to national dynasties..."

"Actually, it's all the result of cruel competition! Sometimes it's not that people are bloodthirsty or that they are wary, but that they understand that if they don't hit others, others will definitely come to kill me!"

"So the tribe needs to build fences and wooden walls. If these cannot protect themselves, they need to build rammed earth city walls or even giant walls of stone bricks!"

"In order to protect yourself, you must train professional killer warriors, that is the army!"

"To kill others in order to support the army, it requires corvee, taxes and punishment!"

"Just like the global arms race at this moment, it is not that some country has too much money to spend on building warships, but that it is forced to build weapons!"

"People have a nightmare in their hearts, that is, the nightmare of being bullied and massacred by others or alien races, so they will drain the wealth of society to reorganize the army and prepare for war, scientific research, and industrial development!"

"That's it...ah!ahhhhhh...I understand, you are telling me how to govern the country!"

"Old Chaser, your intentions are really good! I understand that a clever country is to take advantage of the fear in the hearts of all people!"

"We must use fear to rule the hearts of the people!"

With a loud bang, the fire in the red mud stove was full of fire. The old tea slave stood up and bowed to salute with a smile. "Your Majesty can realize it is of course the best! The door has been opened, please leave..."

With a creaking sound, the palace gate that was almost swallowed by the fog opened again, revealing the west street outside!

"Go, Your Majesty! You must understand that because all people are afraid, they will accept unbearable systems such as corvee, taxes, punishments, etc."

"If the people are not afraid, haha... I'm afraid that adding a copper coin tax will rebel!"

The old tea slave suddenly pushed him, and Zai Chun's body was thrown out of the palace gate in a flash!

"Ah!" Zai Chun fell to the ground with a scream.
