Chapter 942: Why Give Good Jobs to Slaves

"Baifeng, I am not a person who, upon saying I have come, wants my tribespeople to be able to enjoy everything like this. I only need to know that my tribespeople, in the future, within a few years' time, can receive the same treatment as you people here now, and that will be enough."

"In this way, I can, without any hesitation or concern, bring all my tribespeople to Huaxia, join your Huaxia, and all the territory will also belong to you. How about it? With this, you won't still be worried about the Xuanyuan Tribe, right?"

"Baifeng, as long as the two of us join together, could the Xuanyuan Tribe still come to attack Huaxia? Do you still need to be afraid?"

Baifeng was still somewhat troubled. If the timing were earlier or later, he could have completely accepted this condition. But the current situation was that Huaxia and the Xuanyuan Tribe were almost in a honeymoon period; if someone came and stuck their foot in, Xuanyuan would definitely overthink it.

His previous plans would basically all be wasted. Although he was truly somewhat tempted, Baifeng also had to consider the pros and cons of doing this and how exactly he should choose.

"Baoxi, this is not the place to talk. Let's go first and go to the office to talk slowly."

The person currently seeing the doctor had an awkward expression, anxiously waiting for the prescription. As soon as the prescription was in hand, he would immediately leave this place and definitely would not stay for even a moment longer; after all, the content of this discussion was a bit too shocking.

However, Baoxi left a step before him. Since the decision had already been made, he would head in this direction. Baoxi could give up his own power, but he also wanted his tribespeople to be able to live a sufficiently good life; this was what a qualified Tribal Chief should do.

Baoxi and his group left in a grand procession, and the entire clinic immediately became quiet. The doctor looked coldly at that patient and said, "Just pretend you didn't hear the conversation from just now. Let it rot in your stomach. Before this matter is announced, you are not allowed to say a word to anyone outside, whether it is your wife and children, or even the cattle in your house."

"Once the news spreads and Huaxia's major affairs are affected, killing you would be considered light."

The patient tremblingly took the prescription: "I will definitely, definitely remember. I won't say a word. I will just pretend I cannot speak."

The doctor nodded: "Mm, go ahead, go get the medicine. Remember how Huaxia treats you; you should also contribute to Huaxia. You cannot let Huaxia feed you for nothing."

The patient retreated, nodding three times with every step. Holding the medicine slip in his hand, he did not even know if he should go get the medicine.

Baoxi had no problems walking or doing anything now, completely different from when he first arrived. His Soldier was a bit worried and wanted to carry him forward, but was casually refused by Baoxi.

"Then let's go to the office and sit down to talk about it properly, shall we?"

Baoxi refused: "Baifeng, take me to see what the people of Huaxia do every day, how they are able to support so many people, and how they are able to make Huaxia so wealthy. I want to know if my tribespeople come, can they get the same opportunities?"

Since Baoxi had said it like this, Baifeng pointed in a direction at random: "Then let's go. First, let's go to the Chaotang. That is where the offices for all the departments of Huaxia are located. The officials at all levels, that is, the Leaders, need to be responsible for different things. You can go over and see for yourself."

"How are your Leaders selected? Do my tribespeople, those Leaders I have now, have the same opportunity to still serve as Leaders in Huaxia?"

Baifeng's expression remained normal: "As for that, Huaxia's officials are open to everyone. As long as you have the ability and pass the assessment, then you can naturally become an official. The greater your ability and the greater your merit, the higher the official position you can naturally hold."

"Even Slaves have the same opportunities in Huaxia. Many of our current officials were once Slaves."

Speaking of Slaves, Baoxi suddenly asked in confusion: "How many Slaves does Huaxia have? Why haven't I seen a single one?"

Baifeng was also confused and looked at Zhigui: "Weren't servants arranged in the courtyard where he is staying?"

Zhigui hurriedly explained to Baoxi with some embarrassment: "Tribal Chief Baoxi, those people in the courtyard where you are staying are our Huaxia's Slaves."

Baoxi was greatly shocked: "Why don't Huaxia's Slaves look like Slaves! From their clothing to their physique, they are completely not what a Slave should look like. Could it be that you in Huaxia can treat Slaves this well?"

"No, no, no," Zhigui hurriedly explained: "That is not the case, Tribal Chief Baoxi. Such Slaves are also very good in our Huaxia. They are specially trained by us. In every aspect, there are rules. We spent a great price to be able to train just one, so although their status is that of a Slave, their price is even higher than that of a Free Person."

"Although they have ability, because their status is lowly, they can only do some tasks serving others. Some important work has nothing to do with them."

"Other ordinary Slaves in Huaxia who have not received training are just doing that dirty and tiring work. What they eat, wear, and live in are the worst. However, in our Huaxia, Slaves can also eat their fill, because we believe that as long as Slaves are full and have strength, they can work better."

"Like those few Slaves you saw, they can only be picked out from among thousands of Slaves, which is why they don't look ordinary."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Baoxi nodded. He could completely accept this answer. Since they were very precious, it was normal for them to eat a little better. He could not accept an ordinary Slave being able to live better than their Suiren Clan tribespeople.

"Then, among our Suiren Clan's Slaves, can we also pick out such good Slaves?"

Baifeng signaled for Zhigui to answer with his eyes. Zhigui had no choice but to follow by Baoxi's side and continue to explain: "Tribal Chief Baoxi, the selection of Slaves is very strict. After they arrive, the first thing is to wash them clean. First, they must definitely look good."

"Then, we pick the smart ones from among them; we don't want the stupid ones. Among these smart Slaves, we teach them rules and train them. Those who can learn and are qualified can become such Slaves. Finally, they will be taken away by various Nobles and officials. This time is very long, usually about one hundred days, so we usually do this in Winter. It also happens that in one Winter, we can let them eat their fill and grow some meat, so that after the start of Spring, they will have the strength to work."

Baoxi clicked his tongue after hearing this: "That is truly not easy. I think that kind of work is also quite good and very easy. Why can't ordinary tribespeople also go for training? Isn't that better than being a Slave? Why should such good work be given to Slaves?"

"Tribal Chief Baoxi, although such work is easy, it is very lowly. Huaxia's tribespeople cannot do it, nor are they willing to do it. Even if they are a bit more tired, their future will be better than that of a servant who serves others."
