With a thought in his heart, Meng Han closed his eyes and immediately saw the slowly marching large group of people from the perspective of his pet Yunduo. The slave army of five thousand people, plus enough guards, was almost seven or eight thousand people.
The scale of the journey, including the logistics team that ate, drank, and defecated along the way, had exceeded 10,000 people.
Once the number of people exceeded 10,000, it was boundless. Even from the top-down view, Meng Han couldn't help but be shocked by the size of the team. Compared with the hundreds of people traveling with the princess, Meng Han returned to the Stone Castle by himself.
Compared with the team of more than 200 people at that time, this team escorting slaves was simply a terrifying behemoth.
For a team of this size, even if all the slaves are restricted from freedom, and even if all the escorts have no fighting ability, just based on the number of people, even if they carry huge amounts of gold coins, there is definitely no group of thieves who are short-sighted.
If you dare to provoke a smaller group of thieves, just one person from this group might be able to swamp them.
"Tell all the city guards to dispatch. There are no martial arts practitioners in the guards. Only fifty people are left, and all the others will be dispatched." More than five thousand slaves are not so easy to control. This is something Meng Han has only discovered now. This
In this bullshit world, there is a so-called slave contract, but the prerequisite is that you must be a magician, and the number of slave contracts that can be signed depends on the mental strength of the magician. However, no matter how powerful the magician is, it seems that there is no way to sign it.
With more than ten slaves under his command, Meng Han had to order his army to dispatch.
At this time, it seems that there is only one kind of person who can be sold as slaves, prisoners of war. No matter which countries are at war, usually after capturing the other party's prisoners of war, they wait for the other party to pay the ransom, and then kill those who have no choice but to
Those who collect enough ransom money become slaves. Generally speaking, these captive slaves are very dangerous.
"Also, notify Old Tom and ask them to send some people to help take care of it." There were too many people, and Meng Han had to guard against it. There were also five thousand fully armed mercenaries and members of the chamber of commerce escorting the slaves. Once these guys
If we have any bad intentions, the gains outweigh the losses in Huangsha City. Slaves must be careful, and these guys are no exception.
Meng Han now regrets a little, why did he buy so many slaves? If he had known that slaves were so difficult to use, he would still be frightened. Even if he killed Meng Han, he would not have such an idea. However, slave soldiers are not counted in the number of soldiers of the lord.
Among them, this is Meng Han's most important purpose.
A large group of slaves, greeted by the whips and sticks of the escort, formed a large circle several hundred meters away from Huangsha City. All the slaves were asked to sit down and wait for Meng Han to receive them.
"Fortunately, I met dozens of villagers on the way. Otherwise, more than a hundred of these slaves would have died along the way, which would be a huge loss." Seeing Meng Han's receiving lineup, the leader of the escort was also moved. Due to various reasons along the way,
The reason is that more than a hundred slaves died, and these dozens of villagers captured can at least make up for a lot of losses.
The number of slaves does not mean how many are there at the time of shipment, but how many are there in Huangsha City. Meng Han wants delivery in Huangsha City, so it must be approved by Meng Han.
The business is truly completed. Otherwise, even if Meng Han has paid the fees in advance, the Marquis will be responsible for recovering the payment for the goods. Now in the principality, no one dares to rely on the Marquis.
All the slaves are shackled, so it’s no wonder they can’t walk fast. Maybe the people escorting them also know that such an armed force is a great threat no matter where they are, so they avoid suspicion. All the people are at a distance
They were stationed far away in Huangsha City, waiting for Meng Han's men to count the number of slaves one by one. Finally, the leader of the escort came to Meng Han alone and completed the deal.
As soon as the transaction was completed, the escort team sent only a team of 100 people into Huangsha City for supplies. Then, without even the desire to stay longer, they quickly left Huangsha City. All actions were clearly directed to Meng.
John stated that they had absolutely no other intentions and were simply escorting people. All these actions were very skillful, as if the same thing had been done many times.
This is understandable. After all, large-scale slave sales require large-scale escorts. In order to ensure future business, the fewer various things that can arouse the suspicion of buyers, the better.
Now, Meng Han had a headache about how to deal with these more than 5,000 slaves. In terms of experience in managing a large number of people, Meng Han was not even as good as Grace. However, after all, Meng Han still had the knowledge from his previous life, and he quickly came up with a solution.
It's a solution.
"Let the slaves manage themselves?" Grace also had a headache. After hearing Meng Han's words, she couldn't help but asked in surprise: "As long as they have a chance, they might run away." No one would do it willingly.
Slaves, as long as there is a chance, everyone yearns for freedom.
"Then let's give them a hope of freedom." Meng Han didn't have many people on his hands, and he couldn't be held back by so many slaves: "We need those slaves to publicly recommend fifty captains. These fifty
Captain, I will give him the status of a free man in Huangsha City after one year. Moreover, the captain does not need to participate in daytime work and is only responsible for managing the slaves in his own team. There is a chance to legally become a free man. I believe
These people will definitely catch them."
"But, after all, the captain has to guard a hundred people by himself. Those slaves have no hope of becoming free people, so they will not feel at ease." Alice was also worried and raised similar questions.
"All slaves, as long as they work for me for five years, I will allow them to become free people." Meng Han also knew that he should give everyone hope, but he still had to nip it in the bud: "If someone still wants to escape, then
Each large group of 100 people is divided into ten small groups of ten, and the ten members of the small group eat, live and work together. If one person from any small group escapes, all the slaves in the small group will be executed. I believe many people will take the initiative to guard them for their own freedom and lives.
Be kind to the people around you.”
"Sir!" After listening to Meng Han's words, Grace and Alice couldn't help but froze in place. Meng Han's method seemed to have temporarily solved the problem they were troubled by, and also saved the manpower of the city guard to the greatest extent.
It is even possible to increase the enthusiasm of those slaves to work. It must be said that adults are adults, and they are indeed different.
A large number of slaves soon settled down to stay in Huangsha City and worked hard for Meng Han, with the expectation of becoming free people after their work was saturated. Even though there were some people with evil intentions in their hearts, but in
With the people around watching each other eagerly, no one dared to make any move. Huangsha City accepted the effort and the transition was very smooth.
With this group of manpower, the White House Lord's Mansion was immediately put on the agenda. Also on the agenda was the star-rated hotel that Meng Han planned to implement. Originally, Meng Han planned to build the hotel first, but everyone around him, including the housekeeper,
Under the strong protest of the Maid Knight and even Mr. Kevin, the White House began construction as a priority project, and the hotel became a foil.
Meng Han appeared again in the quarry. This kind of hard stone can only be mined quickly with the help of Meng Han. After Meng Han became a quarry worker again, he also began to develop new skills.
way of releasing magic.
Originally, when Meng Han's mental power was mixed, he could only release one ground thorn at a time, but now, Meng Han can easily control more than six ground thorns at the same time, and each ground thorn can have its own different effects.
The Way to express.
The release of six ground thorns at the same time also means that Meng Han can cut stone from six sides at the same time. The difference from before is that Meng Han can completely control the ground thorns that cut the stone to become a flat plate instead of the previous pointed cone shape.
The cut stone requires almost no polishing and is just a standard cuboid. Meng Han can even change the shape of the stone at will according to the requirements of the craftsmen.
As a result, the progress of stone mining has greatly increased, but transportation and certain artistic processing are the most time-consuming tasks. Often, Meng Han's mining for one day is enough for the team responsible for transporting stone to be busy for several days.
A group of slaves work on the foundation of the White House in the castle, working during the day and resting at night. Their lives seem to be very regular. However, there are still unknown secrets hidden under the seemingly peaceful life.
"Touya, if you want us to blend in among these slaves and do this kind of hard work every day, why don't we just rush in?" In the resting team at night, several people seemed to be awake, lying there discussing in a low voice.
With.
"Come in?" Another voice retorted with a bit of disdain: "It's not like you haven't seen the castle outside. The smallest stones used to build the castle weigh several thousand kilograms. As long as the door of the castle is closed, don't say we only have five hundred
People, even five thousand people, can't rush in."
"How many more days are going to go on like this? I'm exhausted." The grumbling voices kept coming and going.
"Come on, you should also pay attention to the distribution here during the day. It's best to find the location of those silk workshops." A voice that looked like a boss was comforting everyone: "The boss said, ten days, on the tenth day
At night, he will lead his team outside the castle. As long as we open the gate of the castle in time, it will be fine. It will be quick. If we persist for a day or two, we can go home. "
Maybe even those escorting the slaves couldn't believe that the dozens of villagers they met when they were approaching Huangsha City were actually manpower deliberately arranged by the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. Meng Han's castle was too strong, and it was impossible to force a charge.
