Chapter 66: Buying Slaves
The Door, the Female Portal.
Slaves, sex slaves!
It is not just about being pretty, but about going through a long period of training, knowing how to please men, knowing all kinds of methods of fighting, and boudoir secrets.
They are a group of poor people, a group of living tools, they only have a short period of ten years, or even a few years of capital, after that, they will become the worst group of slaves.
Being arranged to be a partner for other slaves, completing the work of childbirth is already the best ending, more slaves will even lose the ability to give birth because of the practice of secret arts, some of them will be abandoned to fend for themselves, and some will even be directly thrown to the captive monsters as rations.
In the Arsa wilderness, the slave is the most miserable road, but it is also the most profitable road, many territories, and even settlements will train the slave specially, either for their own use, or sell to the inner ring in exchange for the support of the inner ring forces.
It's not strange that you can buy slaves in the log oasis, but it's strange that Lin Xiao bought back a hundred slaves for what?
Slaves can't resist one by one, they can't pick their backs, except to please men, they are not even allowed to learn any survival skills, why are such slaves bought?
Of course, Tang Dou knew that it was impossible for Lin Xiao to buy a hundred slaves and come back to engage in "resource allocation" to the new workshop people. Every slave they buy will be restored to being a free man, and although they still live and work under unified management, they have far more freedom and dignity than slaves.
The new workshop people have their own private property, their own real estate within the regulations, and all the freedoms except for rebellion and crime outside of work, including but not limited to marriage, study, and cultivation. The new workshop people have the right to survive, even if Tang Dou wants to question someone, he must come up with evidence to judge.
In short, Tang Dou tried his best to apply the standards of the people in his previous life to the new workshop people, except for some conditions where the two worlds had different ideologies and could not share the same conditions, he tried his best to give everything he could to these new workshop people.
Therefore, even if Lin Xiao's character and character are not discussed, starting from the interests of the new workshop, it is impossible for her to buy a hundred slaves to come back and pull Lang to match.
So what did she buy these slaves for when she came back?
If the new workshop has developed in the middle of the day, and the wealth has accumulated to a certain extent, then it is not difficult to rescue a hundred slaves, let them recuperate, and then after a period of adaptation, go to do some relatively easy sprinkling and cleaning up like a ring, it is no problem, this was originally one of Tang Dou's plans in the later stage.
But not right now. Now that the new workshop is under construction, a hundred slaves is a burden for the entire new workshop, and if you don't work there, it will cause an imbalance in the hearts of other new workshop people, if you directly announce that all of them are Tang Dou's maids now, it is indeed no problem. But it raises another problem.
That is, it is possible to cause the consciousness of the new workshop to be biased.
They would think that Tang Dou was no different from other slave owners, and that all Tang Dou promised them was just a pie drawn on paper.
Tang Dou could have integrated the new workshop in a tougher way, but he didn't do that, what he needed was a new workshop with unprecedented cohesion, just like the old one. However, the establishment and growth of the old workshop was driven by a catastrophic background, but for the Arsa wilderness, for the people of the new workshop, they were in a sense "coerced" to join the new workshop.
Now is the time to stabilize people's hearts and establish Tang Dou's prestige, at this time, there are a hundred more vases that don't do anything, and the vase placed there is equivalent to a hundred more unstable factors, which is not good for the new workshop.
Those who achieve great things must have planning and preparation, as well as corresponding action and self-control.
Tang Dou didn't think of a grand wish - to pack up all the slaves in the entire Arsa Wilderness and stuff them into the Source of Life space. Whether his ambition was for the great slave emancipation movement, or simply for the development of his own power.
But he did think about it.
It was because he thought about it that he paid more attention to the steps and methods of the whole action.
One wrong step, one wrong step, Tang Dou is not strong enough to fight against all the big and small forces in the entire Arsa Wilderness alone, he wants to complete the final goal, but he comes step by step. But now it was just beginning, and his apprentice Xing personally broke his plan.
"I need an explanation!" Tang Dou didn't get angry immediately, just calmly asked the reason.
Lin Xiao knew Tang Dou and knew that this was the edge of Tang Dou's real anger, so he immediately didn't dare to hide anything and told what happened.
Let's say that Lin Xiao and Zhou Chubby were taken to the log oasis slave shop.
There are many slave shops in the log oasis, and the "quality" and "type" of slaves sold vary depending on the size.
The owner of the rest shop asked someone to take Lin Xiao and Zhou Fatpang to the largest store, because Tang Dou's requirement was "clean".
The so-called clean slave does not mean that the body is clean, nor does it mean that there is no disease, but that the origin is clean. There are three sources of slaves in the wilderness of Arsa, either as defeated warriors in power struggles, or as targets for captivity. The former is the main source of war slaves, and the latter depends on what the target of the captives is, if they are slaves, then they will continue to be slaves, and if they are some people whose status is originally high, then they will become special slaves.
For example, their family members will be beaten into slaves.
The second type is the slaves cultivated by the various forces themselves.
The history of the slave trade in the Arsa Wilderness is many years earlier than that of the Fog Hidden Continent, so a fixed or even stable industrial chain has long been formed, and some small forces and small settlements even rely on the cultivation of slaves for their survival.
This kind is mainly out of the slave and the slave.
And the slaves produced in both ways were considered clean in Arsa.
The third type is the unclean slave that Tang Dou does not want. The main reason for this type of slave is because of the robbers' captivity, direct ordinary people into slaves, and even in order to achieve the effect of becoming slaves quickly, they will use drugs to brainwash normal people into slaves who only know how to work.
There are all kinds of slaves produced in this category, but because most of them need drugs to suppress their sanity, they seem to be a little demented, so the price is cheaper, and often some people who can't afford to buy too good slaves will buy them.
Tang Dou was quite taboo about this kind of slave. Because he can't buy these slaves back and continue to use them as slaves, then he has to find a way to restore the other party's sanity, but most of these people were free people before, and they have various backgrounds, and after recovering their sanity, the ghost knows what they will do?
What if they don't join the new workshop? What if they have evil intentions? When the time comes, they will be killed one by one? It's better not to buy it back in the first place.
Whether Tang Dou likes slavery or not, in the wilderness of Arsa, he needs to come according to the rules here. Unless he could single-handedly overturn the entire Arsa wilderness, even if he wanted to free the slaves, he would be able to buy them, or rob the caravan.
He must dare to stand up and shout: "Free all slaves, all men are created equal!" "Turning back, the whole of Arsa will become his enemy.
Because the third type of slaves often only appear in small stores, and Tang Dou and the others have to choose a thousand fairly high-quality slaves, Lin Xiao and Zhou Fatpang were taken to the largest slave store.
There is no special name for the slave shop, because the slave owners in them are originally mobile, so generally whichever slave owner is engaged in monopoly sales in it, he will temporarily be ordered by the name of the slave owner.
On this night, a slave owner named Nash did the auction.
Saying that it is an auction, it is actually more like going to the supermarket to buy freely.
According to the type of slave, the slave owner will send some representative "models" to be kept in cages, and then let people look at them, and if they see a certain species, then they will go to the slave owner's servant and say their own requirements, and then the slave owner will choose among his slaves.
Of course, there are also cases where several buyers look at one or some slaves together.
That's when the real auction will take place.
However, this situation will only appear in the case of war slaves and slaves, and the largest number of bitter slaves will not be done.
When Lin Xiao and Zhou Fatpang first arrived, they happened to meet two buyers who were fighting for ten war slaves, and those ten war slaves were all silver seventh-level masters, and they were also domestic slaves (cultivated since childhood, although they have good skills, but they have been brainwashed since childhood, and there is no concept of betrayal at all), such war slaves are the most sought-after, so the two buyers are red-faced.
Lin Xiao looked at it with interest for a while, then shook his head and left.
"Miss Xiao, are you going to buy war slaves?" Zhou Chupang asked in a low voice.
"No, Master won't like it." Lin Xiao shook his head.
Zhou Fatpang thought about it and said cautiously: "But in the next opinion, there is not much difference between the way war slaves and adults invite people!" ”
What is Tang Dou's way of inviting people? Recruit robbers, or some of the bodyguards when robbing caravans.
Up to now, Tang Dou has obtained more than 700 combatants in this way, but they are still in training, except for the original berserker regiment, there are also Qingfeng Guard, and there are few that can be used - not combat ability, but combat awareness and loyalty.
From this point of view, there is actually no difference between war slaves.
"I don't know very well, anyway, it's Master's rules, anyway, Master's temper is a little weird, and there are a lot of rules!" Lin Xiao didn't quite understand the reason why Tang Dou didn't want to fight slaves, she could only have some faint feelings, but she couldn't say it in detail.
"Two distinguished guests, please choose slowly, I have already told Mr. Nash, he will send someone to greet you!" The person who brought Lin Xiao and the two came to the ground, said a few words politely, and was about to say goodbye, and then a dark-skinned man walked up.
"The two nobles are polite, in Xia Vigo. The two of you are here, please, I don't know what the two of you plan to choose? Our Nash caravan has a wide variety of goods, no matter what needs the two nobles have, they can be satisfied! Vigo's mouth was quite neat, and before Lin Xiao and the two of them could speak, he spoke freely for a few minutes.
Lin Xiao was a little dizzy by what the other party said, and waved his hand: "You stop first, I'm tired and panicked for you, I want a thousand slaves." Everything must be clean, and since the owner of the little shop of Rest has sent me to bring me to you, I don't think you will pit me! ”
As soon as Viggo heard that there was such a large amount of slave trade, his eyes lit up at once, and the trade of a thousand slaves was definitely not small: "Of course, of course, the distinguished guest of the owner of the small shop, how dare our Nash caravan cheat you two?" Rest assured, our Nash caravan has always been undeceived! Every penny is guaranteed to be clean and clean, without a little undesirable thing. ”
"Well, I'll first ask for six hundred young slaves, half male and half female. Remember my requirements, first, young; second, half for men and half for women; Third, health. Do you understand? "Lin Xiao had managed the old workshop before, and he had also dealt with slave owners, although the slave owners in the Fog Hidden Continent were far less "professional" than the slave owners in Arsa, but they were actually similar in nature.
Vigo's chest sounded: "Don't worry, there must be no problem, I promise to choose the youngest, healthiest, and most decent for you." Six hundred, tomorrow you can send the nobles to the residence, and in addition, the nobles buy so many goods at one time, and our Nash caravan can also give the nobles ten days of rations! ”
The so-called ten-day ration was not a normal human ration, but a minimum without starving slaves. Only war slaves and slaves will be fed, and bitter slaves will not have enough to eat most of the time.
Of course, Lin Xiao didn't care about this, so he waved his hand to indicate that he knew.
"Your nobleman, there are still four hundred, I don't know what special requirements your nobles have? Are you going to fight slaves? Or something else? "This Wei Guo is indeed an old salesman, he saw that Lin Xiao was a beautiful girl, and she was quite young, so he estimated that he would omit the slave, just click it, and let the other party know what was going on.
Lin Xiao shook his head: "I'm not interested in war slaves or slaves. I want to find someone with special skills, such as some experienced old slaves, whether it's planting experience, crafting experience, or something else, as long as I can see it, I can do it! ”
Wei Guo was stunned for a moment, and then gave Lin Xiaojian a thumbs up: "The noble man is really an insider, this is it!" ”
Only those who really know how to know the usefulness of those old slaves who have lost their labor power, but whose experience is a fortune, and who are interested in such slaves only if they really have a long-term plan for their own power.
In Viggo's view, this is the real connoisseur.
He really didn't expect Lin Xiao to be such an expert at first, but now he admires Lin Xiao very much.
"Your Excellency, please, we ......"
Before Viggo could finish his words, a terrible scream suddenly rang out not far from the others. (To be continued.) )
