When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

The nobles were not convinced in their hearts. Wasn't it you who ordered the conscription?

They are just trying to get some benefits by the way, so what?

Why are you a good person now?

However, no one dared to say this out loud, only to complain in their hearts.

How could King Yale Qilu not know what these people were thinking?

They used his orders to plunder the herdsmen's property one by one. Normally, he would turn a blind eye to it, but he didn't expect them to be so cruel! !

It's ok to take advantage of the opportunity to fleece the sheep, but is it ok to fleece the sheep completely and then eat them all? !

A bunch of drunkards!

Yale Qilu issued the latest order: No more arrests of herders and livestock without reason!

He set regulations for conscription: each herdsman household only had to provide one young and strong man, fifty sheep, one cow, and one horse.

If you don’t have any cows, you can use thirty sheep to replace them!

If you don’t have a horse, you can use fifty sheep to replace it!

And vice versa!

For Yale Qilu, this standard of herders should be easily acceptable. It can only be said that he overestimated the living standards of the herders.

There are wealthy large tribes on the grassland, naturally there are also poor small tribes, and even scattered herders without tribes.

The grassland does not always have good weather and good harvests every year.

People in the Central Plains have to rely on the weather for their livelihood when farming, and the same is true for the herdsmen.

In some years, there is a severe drought and God just refuses to rain!

The grass on the grassland can't withstand the thirst!

Without the nourishment of rain, it will really die!

How can the sparse, half-dead grass on the grassland feed livestock?

Besides, during droughts, the water in rivers often dries up. When livestock have no water to drink and die in large numbers, the herders are left helpless!

What can they do?

Except praying to God!

Then all that’s left is sacrifice!

The nobles asked the herdsmen to offer cattle and sheep, and they wanted to organize a large-scale sacrifice to pray for rain!

What can the herders, who have already suffered heavy losses, do?

They could only pick out the best of the few remaining livestock and send them up, otherwise they would be labeled as blasphemers and the nobles would take the opportunity to punish them severely.

Not only do people suffer, but the livestock will also be left with nothing. What needs to be paid must be paid!

The sacrificial ceremony was grand in scale and solemn!

I don’t know whether the nobles only prayed for their long-term wealth and prosperity, or they simply forgot to pray for rain.

The nobles became richer and richer, but the rain still did not come as expected!

The gods cannot see the sufferings of ordinary people, but they bless the long-term peace and stability of those blood-sucking parasites riding on the necks of ordinary people.

If God doesn't help, the herdsmen can only tighten their belts and endure the hardship!

After much difficulty, a heavy rain finally came. The grassland became green and everything revived. The livestock also had hope of reproducing. The nobles again found various excuses to receive gifts!

The noble lord is getting married, and he wants the herdsmen under his jurisdiction to send gifts to celebrate!

Where can they go to seek justice! What does it have to do with them if the noble lord gets married? It's not them who are getting married.

But if you don't send it off, you won't be able to move forward on this grassland.

With great reluctance and tears in their eyes, they offered their insincere blessings - a horse or a fat and strong yak.

After finally catching his breath, the noble lord had a baby soon and had to accept gifts again!

No! Are you a rabbit on the grassland?

Are they going to have a baby right after pairing up?

After asking around, I found out that it was the child of a concubine of a noble family.

Damn it! Pah!

It is difficult for ordinary people to marry a wife, but noble lords have more than twenty concubines!

This one is born today, that one is born tomorrow!

It's endless and endless!

I don’t know if all these children are really the master’s own children!

Is there any heavenly principle?

They don't graze, but they have the fastest horses, the strongest yaks, and the largest flocks of sheep!

Just because they are aristocrats, and have been aristocrats for generations!

It is said that where there is oppression there is resistance. Do they not want to resist?

It’s because they dare not resist. The nobles have armies and soldiers to protect them!

Their lackeys have the sharpest knives in their hands, and killing them is as easy as slaughtering a sheep.

And you don’t have to take any responsibility!

Therefore, ordinary herdsmen could only graze their livestock honestly and meet the daily requirements of the nobles, and their lives would be ok.

I’m afraid of encountering natural disasters or man-made disasters!

In addition to natural disasters, there are also epidemics that the herdsmen fear the most!

With so much luck, the livestock herd is expected to expand several times, and they take extra care of the pregnant animals.

I just hope that this year there will be more small rainfalls so that we can have a more relaxed life.

Unexpectedly, the epidemic came again. The cattle and sheep that were grazing well the day before died suddenly. They were so capricious!

Epidemics always come so suddenly!

There's no point in crying if you don't give any response to others!

The few remaining livestock survived the epidemic and were the first to survive a great disaster.

The herdsmen thought that at least God left some seeds for them, so the next year would surely be more successful!

As a result, the Yale family always loves to stir up trouble!

Either we have to fight with this country today, or we have to fight with that country tomorrow!

Just tell me, you look down on any of the small countries around you, right?

If someone provokes you, you will start a war at any time!

The most hateful thing is that the Yale family is still fighting with Zhongyuan!

The crops grown by people in the Central Plains were so delicious that they could originally exchange one sheep for several bags of rice. However, after the war, one sheep could not even be exchanged for one bag of rice.

The salt of the Central Plains people tastes much better than the salt from the grasslands. It is white, clean and has no peculiar smell! Originally, when there was no war, they could trade frequently. They used to have mutual trade.

As a result, the king led his troops to invade the Central Plains. The nobles did rob a lot of property, but the ordinary herdsmen suffered.

Few of their children came back alive from the war, and some of them even lost their bodies.

Their cattle and sheep were taken away for military rations, and they were not given any compensation.

Fight, fight, and victory is the victory of the nobles.

The herdsmen’s children and livestock are like meat buns thrown at dogs, they go away and never come back!

Because of war!

The people in the Central Plains hated them, the grassland people, and stopped trading with them.

The people of the Central Plains do not trade, they still have meat to eat, but they, the people of the grasslands...

They could no longer eat the rice and salt from the Central Plains, and they could no longer see the fine cloth they had there.

After they could no longer be traded, the cattle and sheep on the grassland became even less valuable.

War brings only harm to herders, no benefit at all!

They hate war!

However, it is not easy for them to survive away from the nobles.

Many surrounding countries have been conquered by the Yale family!

They hated the wolf cubs on the grassland, and of course they hated the herdsmen on the Yale grassland as well!

As long as they get close or are left alone, they will be killed mercilessly.

Therefore, the herdsmen on this grassland have become the most difficult sandwich.

There's nowhere to run!

Surrounded by wolves, it is so difficult for them to find a way to survive!
