Chapter 144: Former ethnicity?

Cheng Hao was thinking about it, and saw that Yujin had already turned in from the outside and put a wooden tray on the round table in front of a few people. There were some crystal clear and lovely fruits on the plate, which seemed to stimulate people's appetite.
Cheng Hao was not polite, he stretched out his hand and took a bite. He also recognized this kind of fruit. In his time, it was named Cuizhubao, which was considered a good fruit food.
Eating in the mouth not only produces sweet and sour fluids, but also greatly relieves hunger and thirst and improves physical strength.
"Oh? Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhuangshi liked our cored fruit very much." Yu Yan, who was sitting on the round table in the middle of his hand, watched Cheng Hao pick up the fruit and gnawed, and couldn't help but laugh.
Waved his hand to Yujin: "Girl, you should be hungry to see Cheng Zhuangshi. Go down and make arrangements. We will have a bonfire banquet tonight, which is a celebration of our Qingxi Village's escape from the catastrophe."
"Hey!" Yujin promised, turned around with a smile and went down.
Cheng Hao said while gnawing at the fruit, "Is this thing called core fruit now? I was called Cuizhubao at that time."
"There is also a Cuizhubao." Yu Hehe nodded, "I heard that people in many countries still call it Cuizhubao in the southwest of the mainland, but most people think it is too sour. I really don’t like to eat a lot. Our little Qingxi Village really doesn’t have anything to take out, but Cheng Zhuangshi laughed."
Cheng Hao waved his hand: "There is nothing to laugh about. This green bamboo bud is a good thing. Eating more is good for the body, especially the martial artist. They don't like to eat, but it means they have no vision."
Yu He nodded repeatedly: "Exactly, exactly, back then... Hey, let alone, Cheng Zhuangshi, I don't know where you came from and where did you want to go?"
"Me?" Cheng Hao smiled, and didn't conceal: "I came from Yunfeng City outside the Great Wilderness, ready to enter the hinterland of the Longteng Empire, but I was a bit lost in the Qingtianfeng Mountains. Time does not know how to get out."
"It turns out to be a guest from outside the Great Wilderness, no wonder, no wonder..." Yu Zhen said, looking at Cheng Hao's dirty and tattered outfit, and nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, I have something to inquire with a few elders."
"Strong man, please speak."
"In the Dragon Empire, is there a habit of holding slaves?" Cheng Hao's voice was somewhat cold when he said this.
Yu Chen sighed and said: "There is indeed a wind of slavery, but the laws of the empire are strictly forbidden. Even the subordinates of the big family are all civilians with household registration, and the owner's family. It's just an employment relationship. According to the truth, even the head of the household cannot scold and beat at will. But..."
"Well, I know this." Cheng Hao waved his hand, but that was not what he wanted to ask.
He had known this ethos as early as in Cheng's house in Yunfeng City.
In fact, the Cheng family was like that. Whether it was a servant girl or a servant in the outer court, in fact, according to the laws of the empire, they were all free bodies, not slaves.
But in fact, they are limited by the overwhelming power of the Cheng family, and they have no position in the Cheng family.
Not to mention the subordinates who live completely unlike humans, even the group of maids and young servants are not even a little annoyed by the master and kill and kill?
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Hao has a very bad impression of the Cheng family. Even when Yuan Haijun took the initiative to destroy the Cheng family, he only helped a few people familiar with him. As for the life and death of other Cheng family members, he But I don't care about it.
However, this situation is not to be mentioned now, in fact, it had already existed when his Qing Emperor was still ten thousand years ago.
Laws are laws, and reality is reality. Many places in the Six Realms are like the Cheng family in Yunfeng City, with a clear set of secrets.
Even Cheng Hao couldn't manage this kind of thing when he was still Qing Emperor, let alone now.
What he really cares about is whether there are still legal slave statuses, and whether there are slaves on the surface!
This is what should be banned most. Unlike the customary rules secretly and privately, slaves on the surface are actually the most harmful to the human race!
Their existence will cause the human race to plant roots of inequality and mutual overwhelming in their hearts. Once this small root germinates, it will surely grow into a towering tree in the future! It is difficult to remove.
"This... is also there." Yu Chen understood what Cheng Hao wanted to ask, and sighed: "The kind of real slaves you asked about is actually not a small number, but it is either a sinner or a prisoner of war. There are many countries on the mainland, and wars are naturally indispensable. Whenever a war occurs, most of the captured will be reduced to slavery and will not be able to stand up for life."
Cheng Hao frowned and nodded, prisoner of war?
Yu He smiled bitterly and pointed at himself: "We Qiman are actually prisoners of war."
"Oh?" Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows: "So you weren't from the Longteng Empire? Are you caught because of the defeat?"
"The strong man is right or wrong. If we say that we are from the Dragon Empire, that really can't be counted, but if the strong man refers to this land, then we are definitely the original masters of this vast and beautiful land! "
"Oh? It turns out that the Qiman tribe is from the former dynasty?" Cheng Hao understood what Yu Feng was referring to and asked.
Yu Chang sighed: "Yes! My Qiman tribe was originally the owner of this land, but at that time it was not called the Dragon Empire, but the Qiman Empire!" "Can you tell me more about it?" Cheng Haoyi I heard some interest.
He had read some history books when he was in the Cheng family, but he had never seen an empire of Qiman in the book.
"If you want to come to a strong man, you should also read the books, but you probably have never heard of our Qiman Empire. Haha, this is normal. Yao Tianming, the founding emperor of the Dragon Empire, was originally the Longjiang Jiedu envoy of my Qiman Empire. Later, because of the merits of fighting against neighboring countries, his status and prestige gradually increased, and his power became larger and larger, and he was even finally named the king, and his fief is now in the middle of the empire!"
"Why is there a Zhongdu? Isn't the capital of the Longteng Empire Youyunjing?" Cheng Hao was rather confused.
Yu Sheng smiled and said: "This Longteng Empire has three capitals. Beijing is called Youyunjing, which is the political core of the empire. Nanjing is called Jinlingjing, which was the capital when the empire was just established, while the central capital Longtengjing is Longteng. Yao Tianming, the founding emperor of the empire, was also the place where the Yao family's ancestral temple was located. Although it has no administrative functions, its status is not low within Longteng."
