Another ordinary morning.
With the help of two hired lads, Song Yan slaughtered a pig and began selling meat as usual.
From a distance, an elderly man ran over, smiling as he said, "Boss Li, two pounds of ribs!"
Song Yan recognized the old man and smiled, "Made a fortune today?"
The old man was elated, "My son is no longer a slave! It was the decree of King Xixiang! Besides that, there are many other things. Even the rent for the Spirit Field has been clearly priced!"
Song Yan smiled and said, "That is indeed good news."
Under King Xixiang's rule, slave status was different from other places; people with slave status here were like livestock, even eligible for slaughter in sacrifices. Previously, there weren't many slaves, so those in power would provoke and cause trouble, pinning someone with a crime, and then turning them into a slave.
