Chapter 145 Now that we are here
It is actually very simple to digest them.
Because they were plundered.
They have nothing, but they are free.
Roman cut off their social relations, local sentiments, personal dependence and many other shackles.
These people no longer serve any nobles on this land.
From now on, they only need to obey the orders of one person.
Just like a flock of sheep has a vast pasture, as long as they keep eating grass, Roman can do whatever he wants behind the flock.
Even if he thrusts his hips hard, uses any posture, and presses on the ground and fucks hard, it will not cause any resistance.
That kind of pleasure is so refreshing that it goes to the bone!
It's so wonderful!
It's so appropriate!
Praise slavery!
Are there any cattle and horses more docile than these slaves in the whole land?
If there are! There are more cattle and horses!
Roman didn't actually kill more.
The slaughter regulations he issued were only aimed at specific groups.
First of all, they are well dressed, well-housed, have money and look like human beings.
Such people should be killed!
Of course, skilled craftsmen are not in this category.
They make a living by their skills, so we will not mention them.
Roman is targeting certain groups that do not engage in specific production but can live a good life.
Let's put it this way, there were 16 stewards in Sige Town, which is equivalent to 16 stewards' families, including wives, children, and parents.
These people add up to more than 50 people, right?
Roman is being conservative.
In fact, it is not too much to have a hundred people!
Various interests are entangled, and they are related!
In an era when most people live worse than pigs and dogs, and most people have to work like cows and horses, they live like human beings - not that they don't work. But they work the least and get the most, so they live like human beings.
If we don't kill them, will we let them continue to manage the grassroots and continue to tyrannize in this land?
Why?
Is it because you have management experience in the old times? Is it because you know how to withhold treatment? Is it because you know the mixing ratio of sawdust, stones and black flour?
Bullshit!
They must be killed!
Even Jesus can't stop them!
Will such people be honest and work for him peacefully?
No!
They will only rely on the illusion of power in the past to form gangs and collude with Count Kant to cause trouble for Roman.
And Roman only needs qualified producers!
He went on this robbery to capture people to work for him, not to introduce foreign stewards to teach him the five arts of controlling the people.
But those people at the bottom are different.
Not only can they not be killed, but their whole family must be tied up to farm.
Tying up their whole family will help social stability.
Unless they are some old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't walk, as well as pregnant women, these people can't be robbed and can't travel at high intensity, otherwise the probability of risk is extremely high. Of course, there are not many such people, and it is impossible for every family to have one, so it is likely that the whole family will be caught in one fell swoop.
You have become a slave? Then will your family worry about you?
What! Your whole family has become a slave! Then I feel relieved.
If there are people who resist stubbornly... then there is nothing that can be done even if they die.
In an emergency, we must take the necessary measures.
But there are very few people who dare to resist.
Because, when you see the whole family of the village chief being killed, the church being bloodbathed, and the high-ranking stewards falling in a pool of blood one by one, you can still raise the emotion of resistance...
Then you should have died long ago!
Such a brave man would have been hanged by those stewards before being kidnapped by Roman.
Those who survived had long lost their bloodiness and were as obedient as sheep, obeying the arrangements throughout the journey.
The military servants could not do all the work, so Roman specially selected many strong people from the slaves to help him do things.
For example, the distribution of food;
For example, if the baby in the carriage cried, he would let the baby's mother come over to feed the baby;
For example, some five or six-year-old children could not walk far, and they had to be carried on their backs.
Roman could only say that there was no problem with this trip, all thanks to their strong sense of self-management and their full use of subjective initiative.
Some slaves were even more eager than Roman, hoping that they would perform well and get better treatment than other slaves in the future, so they rushed to work.
This attracted the hatred of other slaves.
As for Roman?
They hated him too.
They didn't hate Roman for killing people.
Because tenants would not hate bandits just because the landlord's housekeeper was killed by bandits - unless they were relatives of the housekeeper.
The death of the village chief had nothing to do with most villagers.
You killed the village chief, I'm so happy, maybe the master can replace me with a better village chief.
But it was wrong for you to trick me into going up the mountain, and... did the Liangshan heroes teach you this method?
...
Humans are very adaptable.
Especially for those who have lost their blood.
They accept it and will not resist until the last moment - just like the turmoil that Roman suppressed when he first came to Sige Town.
Roman pushed them to death, but even so, it was not the last moment.
And this cannot be blamed on them.
Because they were born in such a bad era, they did not have the courage to spit blood.
As long as there is a stutter, it is impossible to resist, and it is impossible to resist in this life.
In the final analysis, it is just one sentence.
Now we are here.
…
Roman did not arrange them to work immediately.
He had to register the identity information of all slaves and include them in the household registration management of the Ministry of Residents.
Most of the land countries have corresponding household registration systems.
The population census can improve operational efficiency and achieve accurate allocation... at least relatively accurate.
Slaves are the property of their masters and are basically not counted as population. After receiving the grace of the lord, they will become free people after being allocated land and can be registered as population.
But the household registration management method of this era is basically very rough.
The household registration system of Sige Town is the same.
After all, productivity is very low. The point that Roman is stronger than everyone else is that Sige Town has sufficient paper.
This is something that most of the princes and kings today have never had.
It is said that the human race also invented some kind of straw paper during the rule of a certain empire.
But it was at least hundreds of years ago.
If the legend is true, then it should have been long before the birth of the land countries.
Before the establishment of Cang Yue, Wan Dong, Plateau, Free City-States, etc., it was the ancient human empire that ruled this vast territory.
Because it was too long ago, no one believed that the ancient empire was real.
People would rather believe that it was just a lie made up by bards, wandering peoples, and circuses for a living.
Among the legends they knew, the most prominent one was the legend of the conqueror who conquered the entire land.
As a descendant of the Split Armor, Roman had heard from the scholar Ihe of the Split Armor Territory that the Sinnoh Kingdom located in the fjord was the remains of the ancient empire, and therefore had a close relationship with the Church.
The King of Sinnoh and the Pope still preserved the craft of papyrus.
But it will never be passed on.
Anyone who dares to get involved in the papermaking process will inevitably attract the hostility of Sinnoh and the Church!
Decades ago, a "Paspy War" took place because of this.
A Cang Yue Duke died because of this, causing turmoil in the Cang Yue royal family.
Until the Scarlet Lady stood up, became the queen, and quickly suppressed the situation with an iron fist.
Let's get back to the point.
Except for Sinnoh and the Church, the rest of the nobles can only rely on parchment to register the population.
And parchment is extremely precious, so the household registration system is naturally a mess.
After all, there are not many things that can be written on it.
Roman's side is different.
He has accumulated enough paper during this period of time.
But the steps to record identity are complicated and need to line up one by one.
Roman, Jimmy, Nellie, Seth, Moore and other literate managers all participated in the recording work.
More than 5,000 slaves were evenly distributed to each registrant, and a long queue of hundreds of people lined up in front of each person.
As long as their names are registered, they will be legitimate residents of Sger Town in the future.
Some people's family units are complete, but some people's families escaped during the looting, or were not robbed for other reasons.
It doesn't matter, those who were not robbed can survive in Kant Territory.
After a year or so, they will be reunited.
By then, it will no longer be a simple spring plan, but a plan to wipe out the whole family.
