Two slaves, one male and one female, were standing at the gate between the inner castle and the outer Castle. The male looked 23 – 24 years old, while the female looked younger than 20 years old. Both of them looked ordinary.
When the two of them saw Zhao Hai and the others come out, they quickly knelt down and saluted Zhao Hai, ” “Long live young master.”
Zhao Hai nodded and waved his hand, ” “Stand up and talk.” After the two of them thanked him, they stood up, but they were still bowing and trembling in fear.
Although these slaves knew that Zhao Hai was very kind, they had been trained to be slaves. When they saw Zhao Hai, they did not dare to be rude. It was already very good that they could stand up and reply to Zhao Hai. If they were newly bought slaves, they would not dare to stand up because of Zhao Hai’s words.
Looking at the two of them, Zhao Hai didn’t stand on ceremony. He just said, ” “Are you the ones getting married?”
The two of them bent their bodies even lower. The male slave trembled as he said, ” &Quot; yes, young master. We want to get married. Please grant us our wish. &Quot;
“What are your names?” Zhao Hai nodded.
“Young master, my name is Qi, and she is Xi,” the male slave immediately replied.
Zhao Hai closed it and looked at the two of them. &Quot; &Quot; good, very good. You’ve taken the initiative to propose to me. That’s good. I’ll fulfill your wish today. Grandpa Green, prepare the things later. We’ll give them a good wedding today. &Quot;
Grimm also smiled in response. Merlin smiled and said, ” &Quot; this is good news, young master. I’ll go and make some preparations so that the slaves can have a good rest for the day. &Quot;
The two slaves knelt down in unison, and the male slave said in a panic, ” “Young master, we can’t afford it. Our lives are cheap. It’s already a great blessing to be married to young master. How would we dare to ask young master to help us arrange it?”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s okay. You’re the first pair of new slaves that Grandpa Green bought. We can use this opportunity to have some fun. It’s not just for you. &Quot; The two of them then stood up.
Green and the others had already gone to take care of the matter, leaving only meg to stay by Zhao Hai’s side. Zhao Hai and the others did not lack anything now, and with Zhao Hai’s monthly income, it was not a problem to feed these 100 people.
Zhao Hai didn’t offer any help. Instead, he led meg back to the castle’s living room and sat down. He had just given green and the others all the things they needed, so all he had to do now was to watch green and the others prepare.
The two of them sat down in the living room. Meg prepared a pot of cocoa for Zhao Hai and placed it on the table. Zhao Hai smiled at her and said, ” “Have a seat. Let’s talk about Qi Hexi’s marriage.”
Meg sat down and looked at Zhao Hai. &Quot; “Young master, why did you think of holding a big party for them? Do you want to let the other slaves see it?”
Zhao Hai nodded and sighed, ” &Quot; there are only so many people in our Buda family now. These slaves will definitely have to reproduce in the future. They have already been branded by the Buda family and can not be erased. Now that our conditions are much better than before, it’s a good thing for us that they can take the initiative to propose marriage. I’m afraid that the other slaves will also slowly propose. This is also a way to increase the population. Moreover, I will improve more and more land in the future, so it won’t be like this. I’m going to distribute the land to the slaves. We’re only collecting some rent so that they can farm more vigorously.”
Stunned, Mei GE looked at Zhao Hai and said,”so, young master, you’re saying that we’ll let Qi and Xi regain their status as commoners today, and even reward them with a piece of land?” So that they can rent the seeds?”
On the mainland, those who rented land for farming were usually civilians. Hence, when Zhao Hai said that he would give the land to the slaves and only charge rent, meg immediately understood what he meant.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” that’s right. This is a good start. If our Buda family wants to grow and expand in the future, the current situation is definitely not feasible. So, I want to slowly restore the status of the slaves to that of civilians. Let them have their own fields and their own income. This way, they will have a future. &Quot;
Merlin had grown up on the ark continent. In their opinion, Zhao Hai’s actions were akin to throwing money away. Slaves were considered the property of their owners. However, if Zhao Hai restored their status as civilians, they would no longer be considered the property of the Buda family. Wasn’t this akin to throwing money away?
However, Zhao Hai’s words made sense. The Buda family was in need of people. They had to stimulate the 100% enthusiasm of these slaves so that they could work better. If they could restore their civilian status and give them a piece of land, it would be like heaven to these slaves. They would naturally work hard.
Now that Zhao Hai was so capable and had space to deal with the Buda family, he could do whatever he wanted to the Buda family. Therefore, meg didn’t object to Zhao Hai’s words and only nodded.
Zhao Hai turned to look at the sky outside and sighed,”Although we’re developing well now, all of this is like floating clouds. If others find out about our identity, then everything we have now will be lost in an instant. I only hope that one day, we can stand under the sun and tell the world that we are the Buda family. At that time, we will be considered to have truly succeeded.”
Looking at Zhao Hai, Mei GE’s eyes became wet.”Don’t worry, young master. That day will come.” Zhao Hai sighed and slowly closed his eyes. He sat on the chair to rest.
She knew that Zhao Hai’s health wasn’t very good. If it wasn’t for the interspace, it would be hard to say what would have happened to him.
However, ever since Zhao Hai had woken up, he had been busy with the Buda family’s future in his not-so-good health. This made people feel heartache.
Zhao Hai was really tired. Although he didn’t exercise much, his body wasn’t in good condition. Plus, he had a lot of things to deal with. Although his body wasn’t tired, his mind was tired. So, he leaned on the sofa and fell asleep soon.
After some time, Zhao Hai heard someone calling him. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was meg. She was calling him softly. Zhao Hai sat up and moved his sore neck, which had been sitting on the sofa for too long. He stood up and said,”What’s wrong? Are you ready?”
Meg nodded. &Quot; the tables and dishes have been set up in the outer Castle. Grandpa even prepared some ale today. It looks like he really wants to have a good time. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded, thought for a moment, and turned to meg. &Quot; &Quot; by the way, I remember that we’ve prepared a lot of colored paper some time ago. Do you still have any? ”
Meg didn’t know what Zhao Hai wanted to do, but she still nodded and said, ” &Quot; there is. I bought those colored paper especially to make an announcement when I tell the slaves about something in the future. &Quot;
&Quot; yes. &Quot; Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; come with me to the study first. Oh, and prepare a red colored paper. &Quot; Although meg didn’t know what Zhao Hai was going to do, she still responded and followed him into the study.
In the study room, Zhao Hai asked meg to cut the red paper into a rectangle. He wrote the word ” happy ” on the paper himself, and then wrote their names and the date of their marriage. It was the first simple marriage certificate in the world.
Meg kept reading. At first, she didn’t know what Zhao Hai was going to do, but when she saw what he wrote, she finally understood and felt that it was very novel.
The marriage certificate was very simple. It was just a piece of red paper with words written on it. Zhao Hai had made it on a whim. He did not expect that it would eventually become the heirloom of Qi’s family. The marriage certificate slowly spread to the entire continent.
After signing the marriage certificate, Zhao Hai and meg went downstairs to the square of the outer Castle. It was very lively now. Square tables had been set up, and each table had eight dishes, which could seat eight people. There was also a barrel of ale beside each table.
This Tavern was a relatively cheap wine on the continent. It was usually drunk by commoners. Some time ago, Grimm had specially bought some for these slaves to drink. Now, it was finally put to use.
The slaves were already seated at the table. Green and the others were waiting for Zhao Hai. When they saw Zhao Hai, they immediately bowed to him. Zhao Hai waved his hand to dismiss them. He then said, &Quot; today is the day of qihexi’s great celebration. I’m taking this opportunity to let everyone celebrate for them. &Quot;
The slaves were also happy for Qi Hexi. Qi Hexi was even more excited and shy. Both of their faces were red. Zhao Hai waved his hand at them and said, ” “Qi, Xi, you two come here.” Qi and Xi quickly walked to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled, ” &Quot; you’re very good. You’re the first pair of newlyweds since our Buda family arrived in Black Earth territory. I want to reward you. From today onwards, you’re no longer slaves. You’re civilians of the Buda family’s Black Earth territory. I’ll have grandma Merlin measure ten acres of land for you outside the castle. In the future, these ten acres of land will be yours. In the future, four-tenths of the annual income will be given to us, and the rest will be yours. In addition, I’ll prepare a house for you in the castle. The things used inside will also be prepared, so you can have your own home in the future.”
Zhao Hai’s words were earth-shattering, and the slaves were all stunned. They never thought that Zhao Hai would give Qi Hexi land. It was land that could be rented, and this was extremely important to the slaves.
Qi and Xi felt like they were in a dream. It took them a while to react and quickly knelt down to thank Zhao Hai.
