"Master Lei..." Ruan Ling looked hesitant, gritted her teeth, and was still a little confused.

"If you don't want to say it, there is no need to force yourself." Renault said with retreating to advance. He realized that there were serious problems within the aftermath of the rain forest. Ruan Ling was a smart person, but in the aftermath of the rain forest, he had no right to speak. The person named Tong Lei was more effective in speaking.

"Lei Master, we have been together for hundreds of years and are already the fourth generation. We have always maintained the tradition of generals. You may not know much about generals. Among them, who has a bigger fist, who speaks louder, and more people are willing to follow." Ruan Ling said.

"Yeah." Renault could understand that soldiers are the most direct. Whoever can lead them to win battles is a good general. If this concept is in the army, there is no problem with this concept, but the aftermath of the rain forest is no longer an army. They have no logistics supplies, so they have to think of ways to do everything themselves and still do it according to the ideas in the army. No wonder they are almost hungry, they deserve it.

The army is a war machine, which needs to be supported by the state. If soldiers also understand politics and economy, they can directly form a military-controlled government.

Facts have proved that as long as it is a military-controlled government, the people will not have a good life, and such a government cannot last forever.

"Some of my friends, like me, do not agree with the way of generals. After all, the Yulin Legion was gone a hundred years ago. It is obviously inappropriate to use the method in the army, but we are not very particular, so..." Ruan Ling said helplessly.

"So what?" Renault acted like a good listener and gave her support. It seemed that there must be no gains this time.

However, Renault was also hesitating. Taking advantage of others' danger, there will naturally be profits, but is such a profit worth it?

"So, we want to contribute." Ruan Ling said gritting her teeth. She and Tong Lei had broken down just now, and even had a move. Ruan Ling had few people on her side and was not strong enough, so she was beaten up.

The children of the generals are not distinguished from men and women. If you don’t stand out and be a good wife and mother at home, no one will touch you a finger except for your man. Since you admit that you are a son of the generals and are willing to stand out, there is no difference between men and women, only the size of a fist.

The logic of the gate is very simple. When you go to the battlefield, can you expect the enemy to be gentler when you are a woman?

Stop talking, women will only end up being worse than men when they go to the battlefield.

In the regular army of Dachu, female soldiers were not accepted. The situation of the aftermath of the rain forest was different. For the survival of the tribe, it was not enough to rely on strong men alone. Those women who have the talent for cultivation and have practiced martial arts were all incorporated into the team.

"Dedication? Do you know what it means to dedicate?" Renault asked with a smile. He finally waited for these two words.

The problem is that Ruan Ling's contribution is different from Tian Ye, with a strong purpose, or a choice that is forced to helplessly, and his loyalty is lower than Tian Ye. For such a person, Renault also needs to think about whether to accept it.

There is no way, the convoy is short of people. At present, there are more slaves in the convoy than the convoy. Without enough manpower, the next plan is difficult to achieve.

Leaving Luocheng was a last resort. In order to seize power, Chu Ren must support Jin Cheng, highlighting the importance of Jin Cheng. Unless he defected to Chu Ren, he had to leave Luocheng.

How great it was when he was in Luocheng. It was supported by the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War. It required people, craftsmen, and even the materials were ready-made. Renault was not short of money. No matter what ideas he had, someone would help him realize it.

The Nanzhang cannot be completed. There are not many people from the Great Chu there, and they are divided into countless small forces. In addition to the limitations of natural conditions, Renault needs to start from scratch.

"Of course I know, we are willing to sign a death contract." Ruan Ling said gritting her teeth.

There are many types of offerings. If scholars pass the exam, they will be given a contribution, including the land, and they will be given away taxes.

If a martial artist has achieved success in his cultivation, he can also contribute. Usually, he will be invested in wealthy families or noble families, and while earning money, he can obtain cultivation resources. He can also use the title of the master to gain some advantage in his hometown.

The grandmasters give in, and the nobles have no resources.

Renault is a secret master, and Ruan Ling is only a ninth-grade peak warrior. In fact, she has no resources to contribute.

The dead contract is different. It is equivalent to selling oneself. As long as you sign the dead contract, you will never be separated from the Divine Works Hall in this life. Not to mention that you will never run away in this life. The warrior who signed the dead contract will also belong to the Divine Works Hall in this life.

This is equivalent to a domestic slave. Only people who really cannot survive, or slaves, will become domestic slaves.

Of course, family slaves also have benefits. If the master's family is strong enough, the status of family slaves will also rise. This is what people often say about the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

If you have a very close relationship with the master's family, it is easy for several generations of slaves to become good. If your descendants use the master's family's power to join the army to take the military and take the exam for fame, there will be more opportunities than those of poor families.

"Death Deal?" Renault looked at Ruan Ling in surprise. This woman's mind was not broken.

"Do you understand what the Death Deed means?" Renault asked.

Ruan Ling nodded in pain, thinking of the elders of Yulin Town, she had no choice. The aftermath of the Rain Forest was no better than the prince's lineage in the minds of the people of Da Chu. She could only live in the jungle of Nanzhang and live a day of life.

She didn't want her family to live like this again. She was over 30 and hadn't married yet, so she wanted to create a future for her relatives. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. No matter how hard she works, her relatives still live on the verge of starving to death at any time.

In fact, Yulin Town starves people to death every year, and the difference is only about how many people die in battle, under the claws of beasts, diseases, and poisonous insects.

The Yulin Legion had more than 200,000 people back then, and most of its families slowly migrated to Yulin Town ten years after the incident. There were hundreds of thousands of people at that time, but now there are less than 30,000.

If this continues, Yulin Town will no longer exist in a few years.

"Be a slave for life." Ruan Ling said softly.

In fact, what she said was a bit exaggerated. Even if the warriors sign a dead contract, the master will not be so stupid that he really treats them as slaves. Instead, he will treat the warriors as kind as possible. Sharing life and death with the master's family is the most worthy of relying on.

Will a piece of parchment tie the warrior to death?

The answer is to see what kind of warrior the other party is. The Earth Immortal does not need to consider it, and it is also invalid for the master. A dead contract of warriors below the master is still very effective. This is a contract protected by the Great Chu. If the contract is breached, the government can ask the government to come forward and capture and kill the breach of the contract.

To put it bluntly, it is better to speak based on strength. If Tian Ye breaches the contract, it will be violated, unless the earth immortal comes forward. Ruan Ling is different. She dares to breach the contract. As a secret master, Renault is more likely to be the master who is willing to stand up for him and earn favors from the secret master, which is still quite valuable.

"Have you thought about it?" Renault asked again. The impact of the dead contract on the warrior should be quite big. If the dead contract is really signed, Ruan Ling's credibility will be higher than that of Tian Ye.

Tian Ye, who was ten steps away, was also moved. The ninth-grade peak warriors, although there were a large number of Da Chu, were also the best people. If they were in the army, they would be the radical at the lowest level. They could be promoted to the Marquis of Military Affairs after just two years. It was quite easy for a ninth-grade warrior to lead a thousand people.

It can be said that a ninth-grade warrior has already reached the threshold of nobles. As soon as the opportunity comes, he will immediately turn from a civilian into a noble person.

"I've thought about it, my friends and I are willing to sign a death contract." Ruan Ling made a decision and no longer hesitated.

"And your friends? Can you decide for them?" The person who signed the death contract did not point to Ruan Ling alone.

"Yes, there are about one hundred people, twenty-six warriors, and the rest are all young and strong, able to hold swords and halberds, and have seen blood." Ruan Ling said.

It was interesting, Renault looked at Ruan Ling and asked, "It's the conditions."

"Yes." Ruan Ling admitted very simply that who would sell himself as a slave without the conditions?

Men are better, at most they are like cows and horses. Women sign a dead contract, don’t worry if you are a warrior or not, the master wants you to accompany the bed, will you resist? Not only are there conditions, but Ruan Ling’s conditions are also quite harsh.

One hundred thousand stones of grain every year can be sent to the vicinity of Nanzhangfu. Ruan Ling will send a message to ask Yulin Town to send someone to pick it up.

One hundred thousand stones? Renault was shocked. This amount was too many. Dachu had a hundred kilograms of stone, which was 5,000 tons, and it was every year. Renault looked at Ruan Ling up and down, thinking that he wanted to see why she was so valuable?

People on Earth are used to units of thousands of tons and tens of tons. In fact, tons are already very heavy units. An ordinary maglev transport truck can carry 60 tons in one container, and 5,000 tons will take more than 80 containers to load.

Of course, the food people in the Great Chu people usually have shells. If they are shelled, only 70% will be left. The problem is that the Great Chu people will not be so luxurious. The shells are mixed in rice and they will eat them together. Only nobles will eat essence grain.

In fact, if one hundred thousand stones of grain is replaced with gold coins, Renault really doesn't care. The problem is that food is in Dachu, which is not only a necessity for people's livelihood, but also a strategic material. It is very troublesome to buy in large quantities.

Thinking about the transportation conditions of the ghostly place in Nanzhang, Renault would not agree anyway. Just kidding. Just Renault’s modified cart can only carry two thousand kilograms per cart, and it takes five thousand large carts to transport 100,000 stones of grain.

If he really agreed, Renault didn't have to do anything else all year round, and he kept thinking about how to transport food all day long.

Of course, there is no way. Nanzhangfu is not far from the sea. If you walk by sea, it will only take more than a thousand miles on land.

But Renault now has no ships and no one.

"One hundred thousand stones is impossible. I will give you two choices, ten thousand stones of grain or meat, or gold coins worth 20,000 stones of grain." As for the bargaining price, Renault understands. Ruan Ling offered a sky-high price, and Renault's return price is more reliable.

Ten thousand stones of food, plus thinking about a way, is enough to support tens of thousands of people.

"Fifty thousand stones of grain, or gold coins of 100,000 stones of grain." Ruan Ling said firmly. Ten thousand stones are too little, and it is not enough.
