Chapter 253

Field drew a line on the blueprint: "I originally wanted to build across the river, and distribute the east and west warehouses on both sides of the river, so that the transportation of materials can be directly by water, and it is also convenient to put out fires. However, such a design is temporarily meaningless, because the corrupted fish in the river will come ashore and beat people."

Everyone was stunned.

Isn't the warehouse just a small square house?

"Yes, sir, your design is simply... I can't describe it."

"Haha, don't talk about these useless things, and I also look forward to your improvement. I will give you a reward of gold coins."

After setting a rough construction period, the craftsmen set off immediately.

After sending the craftsmen away, Field arranged for Ashina to go to Xingye City for reconnaissance again, while he was busy dealing with the accumulated government affairs.

After going out for a month, 207 slaves earned a gold coin, half of whom were soldiers. Almost all the soldiers were freed from slavery and became free people. The other half were diligent farmers, or did physical work such as quarrying and logging.

After getting back the ransom of 200 gold coins, Field was in a good mood. He scanned the list and found a problem: "All the free people are men, and there are almost no women. That means no one can have children. Men with nowhere to vent their energy are prone to trouble."

Field rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

Because of their good physical strength, men work hard and have a natural advantage.

"Or, lower the ransom standard for women and children." This idea flashed through his mind and was rejected by Field. "No, favoritism to one party is harm to the other party. The standard of one gold coin was set at the beginning, and it should not be changed at will."

In fact, there are already many invisible benefits for female slaves, such as deliberately managing men and women separately, and women have the job of helping to cook and mend clothes.

Now there are too many slaves and the production efficiency is too low. It is imperative to reduce the slave population.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Field dipped a feather pen in ink and wrote and read: "That's it, as long as both the freeman and the slave agree, the freeman can spend double the price to help the slave escape from his slave homeland."

As for the agreement they reached privately, the territory will be a witness.

"Of course, we cannot escape the constraints of the law, such as illegal acts such as usury, which is absolutely not allowed."

Field estimated that few fools would help the slaves redeem themselves, but he gave both parties an expectation.

"There is no perfect strategy that can solve all problems once and for all."

It was Field who understood this point, took a sip of tea, snapped his fingers, and the corrupted black crow rushed out of the window and flew into the sky.

"You have to patrol the territory regularly."

On the other side, Tate finished his speech, and the content of his speech was concise and to the point: loyalty to the lord and hard work.

After speaking, Tate allowed the slaves to eat, and they had to line up.

An Wei's eyes were rolling around, holding half a piece of black bread in his left hand and a bowl of soup with vegetable leaves in his right hand.

"It's like pig food now. Alas, if it weren't for Miss Flornie's order, I would rather go to the underground dance to clean up the corpses than come to this damn place. Can't I pretend to be a craftsman? What's more, I said that being a slave will not be suspected."

Thinking of Flornie's addictive figure and rewarding herself more than a dozen times, An Wei was like "skating on ice" and his whole body was burning.

Flornie, Simon's chosen one, promised him that he could become her regular partner if he got the formula. An Wei, a well-known sewer rat, was willing to lurk in the dangerous northern province.

Looking at the slaves around him, who wolfed down the black bread and the vegetable soup one by one, even sucking their fingers until they were shiny, An Wei's mouth curled up and he wanted to vomit.

"Oh! Where is that damn Happy Bean? It's much easier for the Lord to send a team of knights to kill Field directly." An Wei was furious, "However, the Lord must have underestimated Field. This guy actually has a God's Chosen. When I find a way to leave here, I will report to the Lord, maybe I can get a chance to have fun."

When Field fought his way back to the territory, Tisifa dispersed the gray fog all the way, and the slaves saw it. But it was useless to know, they couldn't escape the gray fog.

"Wow, your soup is spilled, little dog, if you don't want to drink it, I will drink it."

The strong slave next to him directly grabbed An Wei's soup and gulped it down.

Before he could drink a few sips, the veteran guard of the Night Territory strode over and knocked the strong man over with a punch. He dragged the strong man out like a dead dog, and then in full view of everyone, the guard whipped him five times.

The slaves around him, who were obviously the strong man's companions, showed their indignation when they saw him being beaten.

"This is a breakthrough."安维舔舔嘴角，立刻有了主意。

很快，泰特将奴隶划分为数十个小团体，并标上数字序号。搭建临时棚屋、伐木和种田等等工作，都有奴隶在忙碌。

找到那个被暴揍的壮汉奴隶，安维凑过去，无视对方凶戾的眼神，见四下无人，安维直接将自己的半块黑面包，塞进壮汉手里。

"You..."

The strong man was dumbfounded, looking up and down at the ugly but sickly white An Wei: "My name is Black Bear, what do you mean?"

"Nothing, just want to say something." An Wei said in a bewitching tone, "There is no future for those who work for the lord all their lives, and they are still just dogs. Do you want to eat meat and hug women?"

"We can't be the opponent of the lord's guards. Look at the weapons in their hands and their armor."

Although An Wei's eyes were fierce, he showed a strong fear of the guards: "Besides, the nobles are all descendants of God. He has God's choice to help, which is proof."

The fear of the nobles by the lower class is engraved in their bones, especially in the Griffin Empire, which respects bravery. The nobles will kill ordinary people for fun when they have nothing to do.

"There are only a few soldiers, but we have more than a thousand. We can drown them with a spit from each person." An Wei smacked his lips, "As long as we control the granary and the arsenal, this is our territory. If you want to eat, you have to look at our faces."

"The most important thing is, I didn't say to kill the noble, just to sideline him. Or kill the subordinates who help him, such as the captain of the soldiers and the consultant. If he wants to control the slaves, he can only use you who has prestige."

"Hiss~"

Black Bear thought about it and nodded in approval: "That's right, I just happen to have a few brothers. We were originally bandits and were captured as slaves. I have long been annoyed by others shouting at me."

The two chatted passionately and had already begun to imagine a bright future.

But they didn't know that the black crow on the side had been listening for a long time.
