Chapter 51: The Way Home

Li Fan was very anxious, very anxious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The lack of tools and resources has been limiting the development of Sheep Village.

If it weren't for him, Sheep Village wouldn't even be able to get a standard round wheel now.

The wheelbarrows that now run on dirt roads are all wheels cut out by dogs with their own lasers.

But the laser cutting system for dog eggs is about to reach the end of its life after a long period of use.

Li Fan had no choice but to let the dog not overdraft his own parts.

Old Thor became the Minister of Industry of Sheep Village.

Coupled with his large number of skilled workers, the carpenter's problem was finally solved.

But the vital blacksmith was in a state of stoppage.

Old Thor reluctantly said that the iron tools he usually built were the materials brought by those nobles.

How could those slaves have the money to buy these iron tools!

So now Li Fan's favorite Yangcun blacksmith shop is actually in a state of suspension.

Without iron, everything is for nothing, let alone making a steam engine and running into industrial society.

As China's heavy industry base, Northeast China is actually very rich in resources.

But at the end of the day, everything is still lacking in people!

Thinking of this, Li Fan liberated the Emerald City in his heart, and the impulse to criticize the dog fighting nobles became more and more impulsive.

But now.... Let's digest the first batch of slaves sent over....

.......................

About ten miles west of the Emerald City

Sherlock and Li Fan agreed on a place to trade.

More than 300 slaves and a large number of livestock stayed quietly in place, surrounded by fierce guards with weapons in their hands.

The slaves were silent, numb, frightened and uneasy in their eyes.

They don't know what their fate is, is the new master merciful or murderous?

Will there be food arrears?

Will they be treated as one-time consumables?

In the distance, several figures appeared in the sky.

The slaves suddenly became noisy, and they all stood up and rubbed their bony bodies in an effort to see the people in the distance.

It seems that you can understand your future situation from the outside.

The guards next to him suddenly raised their whips and long sticks in their hands, and hit these somewhat commotionous slaves mercilessly

"Quiet! Do you filthy bastards want to die? If it weren't for the fact that you would have given you a lot to the old men, you would have died!

If you don't want to die, just kneel on the ground honestly!"

From time to time, a new streak of blood was added to the scarred bodies of the slaves, and then they fell to their knees with screams or whispers, motionless.

In the middle of the crowd, a thin, half-grown child hugged his younger brother. Squatting on the ground and not moving, for fear that if he moved, the fierce guards around him would hit him with sticks.

Perhaps their bodies were too thin, and the two children were not as tall as the kneeling man next to them.

The younger brother looked cautiously through the gap between his brother's hemp arms.

Then he whispered, as if he had seen something interesting, and shouted quietly

"Brother Chopsticks, our new master seems to be a big nobleman who passed by our door some time ago!"

Chopsticks snorted coldly

"Little radish head, no matter what kind of aristocrat it is, it is a virtue, remember what my brother taught you before, we are small, and we can't eat adults.

Don't work too hard when you work, if you can be lazy, be lazy!"

The little radish head nodded as if he didn't understand, and held his brother's hand harder.

Li Fan was still sitting on the rickety rattan chair, with the two purple dinar crystal balls in his hands.

The slave was escorted by the captain of the guard of the East Upper District, and Sherlock, who was rumored to have the support of the great nobleman, was paid three gold dinars.

He gave up his post and took over the work of escorting slaves with his teammates.

At this moment, the butcher named "Dohi Enichiro" who could stop children crying in the slave area ran to Li Fan with a smile on his face and bowed deeply

"Your Excellency, according to your order, two hundred male slaves, one hundred female slaves, and the enclosed fifty child slaves, plus fifty head of livestock, and all other kinds of poultry, are all here.

Do you order?"

Li Fan quickly glanced at the number of heads in these fields, estimated the number and raised his hand

"No need, I can still trust Sherlock's character, are you?"

Enichiro Tsuchihi hurriedly bowed ninety degrees again

"Madohiro is the captain of the market guard in the eastern district of the Emerald City, and has been escorted by His Excellency Sherlock, the trading officer. ”

Li Fan held back the disgust in his heart and raised his hand again

"Is the soil fat and round? I remember, well done, reward!"

Liu Han, who had been standing silently behind Li Fan, immediately stepped forward, took out a gold dinar that had been exchanged before and threw it over.

Tu Feiyuan greedily grabbed the gold dinar and rubbed it in his hand in surprise.

The already rich smile on the fat face flattered a little again, and nodded and asked

"My lord, these slaves are very dishonest, do you want us to escort them all the way?

I see you've only brought two slaves, and although they look mighty, there are more than 300 slaves and plenty of livestock!"

Li Fan didn't answer, but nodded lightly at Liu Han.

Liu Han stuffed his fingers into his mouth and whistled loudly.

In the distance, the hunting party with the same family crest painted on their bodies immediately ran over.

Tu Feiyuan was stunned, thinking about making some reward for this generous nobleman on an escort trip, but he didn't expect that people would actually bring their own escort team!

After waiting for the escort team to leave, Li Fan tilted his head and asked

"Lao Liu, how are they preparing?"

"Village Chief, you're all set!"

Li Fan nodded fiercely

"Let's go!"

With nearly 400 people and dozens of livestock, this team will have to travel for a month and finally reach the "slave reform base" about 50 kilometers away from Yang Village!

It's a daunting challenge.

In order for these 400 people to reach their destination safely.

The ********** of Yangcun, headed by Li Fan, racked their brains and perfected the plan.

The construction team used local materials and re-established a new brick kiln at the renovation site.

Then a row of buildings such as row dormitories, bathhouses, and public toilets was built.

The potatoes were harvested again for another season, and after temporarily compressing the ration in the sheep village, these potatoes were made into a variety of derivatives such as potato flour and potato strips that are easy to preserve.

There are supply points every thirty kilometers along the way.

Just setting up a supply point on the 800-kilometer-long road cost more than half of the labor force in Yang Village, and it took up to two months!

And in order to ensure that there are no accidents, as well as to take care of the physically weak slaves.

Li Fan asked the hunting team to follow, so that he could also hunt some animals as meat compensation.

Now, these ignorant slaves who follow the livestock on their tired legs do not know that they are walking a road home that embodies the sweat of the people of Yangcun!
