Red Alert 1895

Chapter 782: Liberation, freedom

A few hours later, the Supreme Court in Beijing sent an order approving Harari's execution by telegram, and the execution order was quickly prepared for execution. And when that Harari saw the gallows, his legs became weak and he knelt down on the ground. He kept begging, hoping that the judge would let her live. He said that he still has family members to take care of, and his children are still young and cannot live without a father. And without him, his children would die, and his old mother would suffer for it.

And at this time, Harari finally felt the value of being alive, and now he can only beg, hoping to let him go. But those judges asked him on the spot, didn't those slaves whom he ordered to kill had no parents and no children? And in the end he answered that those were just some untouchables, which made the judge shake his head. Because from this Harari's eyes, he only saw that he was trying to survive for himself, but he didn't realize the value of life. He doesn't have the slightest reverence for life, and it is not impossible for a person who has no reverence for life to do no matter how brutal things are. And a person who has no reverence for life, if he lives in this fashion, is a time bomb, even more dangerous than a time bomb. Only those who have reverence for life can truly be a good citizen. Even Wang Guorui does not advocate the use of war to solve problems, because war is only a last resort. If a person doesn't even have reverence for life, do you expect him to be a good person, a good person accepted by everyone?

And when that Harari was sent to the gallows, and then the board was removed, that Harari was hanged and strangled to death, and finally died. And when the forensic doctor examines the execution and confirms that he is dead, he will be cremated.

And when the judge executed the death sentence in public, the chieftain's slaves and the common people were also dumbfounded, and they didn't know much about the situation. In their hearts, they still think that this is another chieftain who annexed this Harari, and then continued to rule them. in this area. There are actually a lot of chieftains annexing each other, so they may just treat the Han people as a chieftain, and then rule them again. It's no different than Harari.

"From today, according to our laws, you are free. The constitution of our Yanhuang Empire has stipulated that you can have the power of freedom and will not be subject to too many coercive orders. From now on, you can do whatever you want What are you doing?" said the judge.

Next, those so-called loan sharks from Harari, and the deeds of selling their lives, were all taken out, sprinkled with some combustibles, and lit together. From then on, those usury IOUs and those deeds of sale, etc., were all burned, and these slaves were also freed since then.

And those slaves looked at the bond of sale being burned, and then asked: "My lord, since the bond of sale has been burned, don't we have to be Harari's slaves?"

"Of course, from now on you are no longer Harari's slaves," the judge said.

But the "slave" still asked: "My lord, what do you want us to do? Can you make us live better? Can you stop us from doing eight hours of work every day? We dare not ask too much, can we Can't we just work for six hours? We are too tired to work for eight hours a day, can you let us work two hours less?"

The judge was speechless and said, "You don't have to work for twelve hours. You are free, and you can do as much as you like. You can do as much as you like every day. Don't ask me."

"What? You can do as much as you want?" This "slave" was also quite surprised.

The judge immediately explained: "Of course, if you work more or less, it determines your harvest. If you work more, you will naturally harvest more. If you work less, you will get less food. You work more and more. Less, that is your freedom, but if you do more, you will gain more, and if you do less, you will gain less, this is also a very important place.”

"You don't force us to work?" the "slave" asked.

"We cannot force you to work. Not even the emperor can force you to work. You work and you get paid, which is our new currency. And the wages can be used to buy other things, what you want to eat , you can use the money you get to buy after working. Then you can use the money to buy whatever you want. Even if you want something, you can use the money to buy it. Everything else You can buy them all in gang fights, and then as long as you can work hard to make money, then go to get wealth."

"We still get paid for our work?" The slaves couldn't believe it.

The judge immediately said: "Of course, if you are willing to work, you can get paid. If others want you to work, you must pay your wages. Of course, if you don't want wages and help out as friends and relatives, that's okay too." But you must not be forced to use violence, if you use violence to force you to do something, then we will punish him."

"Then what do you want us to do?" asked the slaves.

And the judge replied: "We don't want you to do anything, as long as you watch the farming, production, collection of materials, etc., pay taxes on time, and abide by the law. It's all fine."

"How much tax do you have to pay?"

"It won't be too high. In most cases, it won't exceed one-tenth of your harvest."

Those slaves couldn't believe it at all, because they didn't think that the conditions were so good that they were less than one-tenth of the harvest, so how could they not feel excited? Especially when they used to work for the chieftain, they had to hand over almost all of their harvest, even if they could only get a bite to eat. Those toasts gave them poor food, but they were required to work for a long time, and then they worked almost sixteen hours a day, and many people were even exhausted to death.

"Except for paying taxes on less than one-tenth of things, the rest is ours?"

"Yes!" said the judge again.

"Then we won't be executed casually, will we?"

"Of course, except for a small number of serious crimes, others will not be executed. For example, homicide, intentional homicide, is punishable by death. There are also some serious crimes, **** of women, and many other vile crimes. And you will not be executed casually just because of a word. And even if you want to execute anyone, you have to go through a court trial. You must be approved by the majority of people before you can really execute a person. Even if it's in prison, that's the same."

"Then I won't be executed for saying a wrong sentence?"

"Of course, you have the freedom to speak. But as long as you don't intentionally insult others, as long as you don't intentionally spread rumors, most of the cases will not trouble you. Moreover, even if you curse people, even if you scold our emperor If you scold the emperor wrongly, you will be sentenced to death. If you scold the emperor correctly, not only are you not wrong, but you still have merit. Execution is still a long way off."

Next, the judge popularized a lot of legal knowledge to these slaves. For example, they want to leave, because they have accepted too much suffering here, so they don't want to stay here. There are also some who hope to go out and see, see the outside world, see the world of the Central Plains. And these judges also explained to them that they have the freedom to move, and they can live in other cities at will. However, whether you can obtain a local household registration depends on the local conditions. However, he can live in any city for a long time, and he will not be restricted from moving and migrating in the country.

And when those slaves heard such good "conditions", their eyes lit up immediately. Because they were all slaves in the past, they had no freedom and could not run away casually. Even if they said a wrong sentence, they might be executed, and even their family members would die together. And there are many good things that they didn't dare to think about in the past, such as being able to leave casually without fear of being caught by those chieftains. Even if he swears at someone, even if he swears at the emperor Wang Guorui~lightnovelpub.net~, it will only be three years in prison at most, and it is impossible to be killed.

And these and many situations were things they never dared to think about in the past. And these are things they couldn't think of in the past. The mountains they felt oppressed on their bodies, and the ropes tied from their bodies to their spirits, have all disappeared since then.

"Are we freed, free?" asked the newly freed slaves.

"You are liberated and free!" the judge replied again in another affirmative tone.

"Liberated, free!" "Liberated, free!" "Liberated, free!"...

The slaves cheered one after another, and then jumped up excitedly. If you have not experienced the pain of losing your freedom, you will never feel the value of freedom. Compared with the vast majority of people in China, these slaves have also lost more freedom, so now they can deeply feel the value of freedom. Now they finally feel the freedom they couldn't feel at all in the past, the freedom they couldn't really enjoy at all. They have been liberated, and they have been liberated by Wang Guorui. This is the freedom they really obtained. (To be continued.)
