Chapter 66 Zhenbei Fort

Su Lun did not directly take out the sugar and trade it with the Skylark Chamber of Commerce. In his positioning of the sugar, it is a luxury jewelry. White sugar is different from salt. Even if ordinary people don’t eat sugar, it’s nothing, so sugar is basically prepared for those nobles.

The goods brought by Robert's caravan include various daily necessities, in addition to a small amount of food, there were also wine, tea, etc. Their arrival solved many problems in the territory. When Sulun came to explore the territory, he should have limited funds, but he only bought the most important materials, and he did not bring any other materials at all.

The simplest thing is, for example, clothes are not produced in the wasteland, so many people wear leather jackets after the clothes are damaged. This thing is hard and smelly, uncomfortable to wear, and the smell is also bad. Before coming here, Robert specially learned about the situation in Sulun territory from Gene, and then prepared the goods, which are naturally very popular.

Sue Nuobu Lun had already lost money in the past few purchases, and he wanted to buy Robert's goods to barter. Fortunately, during this period, the blacksmith shop forged a lot of armor and weapons, and happened to trade with Robert.

......

Robert was still very curious about Town North Fort. In his impression, this small town, which was three hundred miles away from Blackstone City, few of them could survive for three months, and a few who had survived for three months and finally gained a foothold were also heavily in debt and needed a large amount of capital investment every year. After all, it cost too much to maintain a regular army with more than a thousand people in the wilderness.

But this town-North Fort is different. After coming here, Robut's first impression was that it was clean and orderly. It was clean and orderly. You should know that even in the royal city of Florence, in addition to the noble and wealthy areas, urination and defecation were common. The streets in the city were muddy, and there were also human excrement that would fall from the sky at any time.

The town was unexpectedly clean, the streets were clean, and the streets were paved and crushed by stones. In some places, stone slabs were used as pavement. No garbage was seen on the streets, and no pedestrians had ever discarded the garbage. Even the goblin slaves and werewolves slaves were the same.

Later he realized that this was the request of the lord Sulun, and that those who violated the regulations were severely punished. They cleaned the streets and toilets under the surveillance of others with shackles. They also had to be caught and punished by urinating and defecating anywhere, not only had to pay fines and labor, but also had to be arrested and beaten. Those who did not change their teachings would be confiscated.

There is a bathroom at the corner of every street, and everyone must go to the bathroom to solve it. In addition to being clean and tidy, there are many rules here, such as the road is divided into two from the middle, and everyone needs to walk on the right, etc.

Although the whole town does not look big, it is orderly. Several roads divide the town into several parts, and all the houses are almost in the same style. Although they are not good-looking, they look very neat. Some of these houses have been moved in, but more of them are empty houses.

Although each house is not large in size and only has three rooms, the layout is very reasonable. All the houses facing the street are two-story lofts. These houses should be shops, drainage ditches have been dug on both sides of the town roads, and there are special sewers inside the house.

There are more people living in the south of the city, while other places seem very empty. Fences are built in many open spaces, which seem to be reserved. Others are not allowed to approach the barracks near the town. The lord's mansion is also prohibited from approaching, but you can come and go freely on the other side of the square.

Compared with other towns, this town not only has fewer people inhabited, but also has a very small number of troops. If you want to gain a foothold in the wilderness, you must have at least 800 regular troops, but what about this town? There are only less than one hundred barbarian warriors.

Even if these barbarian warriors are powerful, the number of people is too small. After a large-scale battle, the sea of ​​people can drown them. But until now, the town still survives well, which makes people feel that they have some trump cards.

However, these barbarian warriors are indeed very strong. On the way they came, the barbarian warrior named Johnson was probably at the level of a knight. I really didn't expect that such a remote little place would have a knight master who surpassed the knight and the Great Knight rank. If he was willing to be loyal to the kingdom, he could at least become a viscount.

In addition to these, what surprised him even more was that the town had a large number of slaves. In addition to those serfs, there were more than a thousand goblin kobolds and werewolves slaves. The number of these slaves was several times that of the town's population, and no slaves had escaped.

There are very few free people here, and most of them are slaves of the lords, but the slaves here are completely different from those of other cities. In other places, slaves are not very motivated to work, and often supervisors must be whipped, but the slaves here are very active in their work and do not need supervisors to whip them with whips at all.

After discovering this situation, Robert was very surprised. After asking some people, he learned that the Lord Sulun actually promised to pardon the slave and make him a free citizen as long as he worked hard for five years. Robert was shocked when he heard the news.

You should know that slaves are his private property, so it is not enough to make slaves work hard. Why do they need to release slaves? He thought they had too much money? Robert could not understand this approach. They even established a contribution system for these slaves. They could get a small amount of points every day when they worked hard every day, or they could also get points after joining the army to participate in battle.

Only after the points meet the requirements will the slave be free.

In fact, the reason why Sulun did this was to increase the number of free people in the town. After all, if you know that you will always be just a slave, can you expect this slave to work hard? It is impossible. Sulun successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of these slaves in this way.

Even if these slaves returned to free people five years later, they had nothing to do and needed to continue working for Sulun before they could get paid, but they just replaced exploitation in a more concealed way.
