Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Actions of the Gusi Kingdom
Another seven days passed.
The first batch of transactions between Tang Dou and Gusi has been successfully completed.
Tang Dou sold 100 catties of bamboo rice, 2,000 catties of Eminem, 700 catties of white charcoal, and 20,000 catties of bamboo charcoal. According to the price he said before, bamboo rice is a hundred slaves per catty, bamboo charcoal is a slave for five hundred catties, and Eminem and white charcoal are eighty percent of the market price, that is, eight slaves per catty of white charcoal, and one hundred and twenty catties of Eminem is a slave.
So Tang Dou bought and sold in the first batch, harvesting a total of 15,657 slaves.
Among them, 10,000 slaves were made by bamboo rice, 5,600 slaves were profited by white charcoal, and the combined number of bamboo charcoal and Eminem was only 57 slaves.
It can be seen that in the wilderness of Arsa, the highest luxuries, as well as things directly related to the military, are the most valuable, and the rest related to people's livelihood, whether food or fuel, are all just consumables, in the outer ring and the middle ring may be better, but in the inner ring, these things are the least valuable things.
Of course, Tang Dou would not convert all his income into slaves, and then put them into the Source of Life space in one go. Even if he didn't think about the capacity of the new workshop, Aresta would do it immediately if he saw that he could do it.
Since ancient legends, the Demon Teleportation Array has been activated, but every time it is activated, it can only pass through the upper limit of a group, and Tang Dou wants to swallow more than 10,000 people in one gulp, and the X he blows will be broken.
So he only needed a thousand slaves, and he also asked Lin Xiao, Ellie, and Elika to pick and choose, which was not easy. The most common type of slave among the seven great powers and ten lords in the inner ring is the domestic child, which is the kind of slave that Ellie said was born by a special slave birther, and is called a seed slave.
These slaves have been brainwashed since childhood, generation after generation, and they will also be given special drugs since childhood, so that they do not even have basic mathematical concepts, they cannot count more than ten, and logical reasoning is completely incomprehensible after three steps.
Such slaves are basically no longer considered humans, they are just tools in human form, and they are no better than wild beasts.
Tang Dou didn't plan to ask for this part of the slaves, because the new workshop couldn't afford to raise such slaves now, and more importantly, once these slaves entered the new workshop, they could still only be slaves, not free people. And once there were slaves in the new workshop, the atmosphere of the Great Slave Liberation Movement that Tang Dou had painstakingly created would be in vain.
Human nature is complex, even if the new Workshop people are basically emancipated from slaves, but if they stand together in front of the humanoid tools that can only be slaves, they will still quickly degenerate into new slave owners.
This is not the result that Tang Dou wants to see.
So although there were only a thousand slaves, Lin Xiao and the three of them picked for four whole days.
For if you have a thousand slaves, you will exchange the rest for something else.
Cattle, growing grain, metals, medicines, and so on.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, he went with a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, which was not systematic at all, making the "experts" who were responsible for analyzing Tang Dou as big as a bucket, and they didn't know what Tang Dou wanted to do.
However, they are now "sure" of one thing, after Lin Xiao and the three of them selected a thousand slaves, the one thousand slaves disappeared into the courtyard where Tang Dou and his party lived. Now those experts can "determine" that Tang Dou is really in control of the Demon Teleportation Array.
Unfortunately, the spies they sent among the slaves were all lost. Whether it's a real spy disguised as a slave or a real slave after being brainwashed, as long as there is a dissenting person, none of them will run away anyway.
On the second day after the slaves disappeared into Tang Dou's courtyard, they all appeared outside Tang Dou's courtyard in the form of corpses. Tang Dou also jumped to his feet and scolded, saying that someone had killed his slave and wanted Gu Siguo to give him an explanation.
In the face of such a shameless guy, the high-ranking people of the Gusi Kingdom were immediately furious without clear instructions from Aresta!
The quota of those dead slaves was made up for by Tang Dou.
This time it's a real slave, not seeping a little sand.
It is estimated that these high-level officials and experts can't figure out what kind of two great gods are sitting in the source of life space, there are good and evil beasts, and the guys with ghosts will be discovered as soon as they enter, Tang Dou is not afraid of being spilled into the slave at all.
The population of the new workshop has skyrocketed to 6,000, and the construction continues, and now the new workshop has completely become the appearance of a town, according to Tang Dou's original plan, the entire new workshop is arranged in a circle, expanding layer by layer.
One floor of living area, one floor of workshop! In this way, it is possible to avoid the so-called city center in the first place, and concentrate all the dirty and messy things on the outer level.
The population density of each floor of the residential area is the same, and the size of the houses of all the new workshop people is the same, but the style can be chosen by yourself, if you like to dig a hole and live in it, no one cares about you, as long as you do your own hygiene.
Of course, in order to avoid the lazy thinking caused by the equalization of everything, Tang Dou also established a reward and punishment system. Those who do not do their jobs seriously, who endanger others, who embezzle other people's finances, are all stripped of all their possessions and sent directly to the far north to mine ice - although in the current situation, even if they do, there is no good way to use it. In short, it is to distribute the far frontier and fend for itself.
And all those who have done their work seriously and overdone their work will have a lot of rewards, not only can they have a second or even third property, enjoy all kinds of superior benefits, and their descendants will also be given priority to be selected as warriors of the new workshop - if their descendants have talent - for the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, becoming a soul cultivator, becoming a warrior is the most glorious thing.
In addition, the new workshop also promotes the freedom of half-love and half-marriage. The reason why it is half, not all, is because the new workshop people are all converted from slaves, and it has not been long since they have been freed, and it is not so easy to make them enlightened.
So if you are willing, and you have the ability to fall in love freely, and no one will stop you from marrying freely, but if you don't understand, you can't, and you can't, it will also be arranged by the organization. Of course, try not to buy and sell strongly.
At the same time, marriage is protected by the law of the new workshop, and whoever wants to commit domestic violence and cheating after marriage will be directly assigned to Yuanjiang.
Of course, according to the social outlook of the Thousand Souls Realm and the actual conditions of the new workshop people, the possibility of these two situations is not very high at present.
Domestic violence can only be said to be something that is done by waste who has no ability. Whether it is for men or women, and the new workshop people are just emancipated by slaves, everyone used to be the same fallen people, and they cherish their current life, under the continuous propaganda of Klein and Zhou Fatpang, they are all energetic to build a new home, who has the heart and time for domestic violence?
As for cheating, this is even funnier, except for the elf clan in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, the other two clans are polygamous, if you have the ability to take it directly, no one will say anything.
However, Tang Dou still set the law first, so as to avoid individual situations.
The new workshop is booming, but on the side of the Gusi Kingdom, the situation is slowly starting to look abnormal.
First of all, the first anomaly is that rumors began to appear in the country of Gus. Rumors have appeared in various classes that someone is a demon spy. Although he didn't say who it was, Tang Dou knew it was the freedom he was targeting as soon as he heard it.
It seems that the Gusi Kingdom intends to use this method to put pressure on itself.
After all, there is such a thing as a spy in the demon world, even in Arsa, and it is necessary to catch one and kill another.
Although there are still many non-mainstream people in this world who secretly worship demons, at least in the mainstream three-view society, the demon race is not welcome.
Another anomaly is still a rumor about the Sand Tooth Country, which is said to have sent an envoy to the country of Gus. Interestingly, almost at the same time as this rumor spread, the country of Gus also sent an envoy to Kadesa and Tiger Shadow, supposedly for the peace of the Inner Ring.
Well, listen to it!
These two rumors began to spread in the country of Gusi three days ago, and quickly spread throughout the country of Gusi.
It's interesting. Because there are no civilians in the usual sense of the word—in fact, there are none of the seven great powers and ten major leaders in the upper inner ring. The social component of them was the so-called aristocracy, that is, the ruling class, the warriors, and the slaves.
The aristocracy was the upper echelon of leaders, and the number varied according to the size of the power. And the warriors are the backbone of the whole force, and in addition to fighting, they are training, and when they do not disturb or train, they go out to be adventurers (the proportion of this is very small).
Slaves are responsible for the basic movements of the entire force.
Farming, industry, commerce, and everything that had nothing to do with militarization was done by slaves.
Slaves are also divided into three, six, nine, and so on. The highest-ranking slaves are also the so-called servants, they are no different from those ******** in Tang Dou's previous life in a sense, and they have a lot of rights, but in the end they are still slaves.
And those slaves, war slaves, bitter slaves who know handicrafts, are in the second layer of slaves, they are not bad, at least most of the time they can be fed and clothed.
If the slave was loved by a nobleman, it was not impossible to regain himself as a free man. And if the war slave has enough military achievements, he can also become an ordinary soldier, although it is impossible to rise in a lifetime, but it is much better than being the war slave with the highest mortality rate on every battlefield.
Slaves who were skilled in the arts and crafts were highly valued by the nobility and carefully protected, and some skilled slaves would even have a higher status than the head of the slave - of course, they would still have no power.
The most bitter thing is that he can't do anything, and he is not an ordinary bitter slave who works hard at all, if it is a seed slave born in the family, then it is easy to say. Because they never had any hope, let alone what hope was, their humanity was even completely erased, just a completely unconscious humanoid tool.
But those who have just been relegated to slavery are the most painful.
Because they can justify what is called pain.
In the inner ring, the most executed every day are such slaves, because only they will be disobedient and will rebel.
This is the population composition of the seven major countries and ten major lords in the inner ring, although the slaves are a class with more base than soldiers, but based on the fact that eighty percent of them have even erased their humanity, in a sense, they can no longer be counted as people, and no matter how many people there are, they are useless.
In such an environment, how did this rumor spread so quickly?
Because of the nobility? They don't usually go out on the street and gossip, they all talk about it in the house.
Because of the warriors? They don't usually gossip because they don't have that time. Even Gu Siguo didn't dare to say that no one dared to come to the door to provoke, there are always some guys in this world who think they have a great advantage, most of them have become jokes, but there are always a very small number of people who have achieved fame.
In addition, the seven great powers and the ten greedy people secretly stumble on each other, so that the yin tricks never stop, so the inner ring is actually fighting every day, big or small, bright or dark.
As a warrior, as the backbone of a force, it is better to train more if you have that time to gossip, otherwise you don't know how to die on the battlefield.
Then the only ones who are most likely and the most qualified to spread the gossip and rumors to the point that the entire Gusi country knows about it everywhere are those slaves with a huge population base.
So the question is, for a person of eight to ninety percent who has no ego and only knows how to obey the command of the humanoid tools, how do they spread rumors? Do they understand what the rumors are?
Of course, those slave leaders, slaves, and war slaves have this ability.
But would the slave chiefs go out into the streets to spread rumors? Who has ever seen a eunuch who is not in the palace, running around the capital and gossiping?
Those slaves? They are indeed possible, but the slaves have either become the forbidden of the nobles, or the official ** prostitutes used by the warriors, the former has no chance to gossip, and the latter dares to gossip?
The situation of the last war slaves is actually the same as that of the warriors, and it is even more serious, in order to regain their freedom as soon as possible, how can they have the heart to gossip.
So if you want to make gossip and rumors all over the city, there is only one way, and that is to give orders from the people above and let the slaves talk about it.
So, what does the country want to achieve through these rumors?
Another ten days have passed, and the purpose of the Gusi Kingdom seems to have begun to emerge.
The envoys of the Sand Tooth Kingdom have arrived.
A group of five hundred Sand Tooth Clansmen is said to have a leader of the Ambassadors, the so-called Ambassadors, who has the strength of the crystal level.
Tang Dou smiled when he heard the news: "Hey, I'm platinum level nine, so I came to a crystal level one." If it's my crystal level 1, are they planning to have a crystal level 5? Interesting, are there many masters in this Sand Tooth Country? I don't know if they will die of pain after dying at the first level of crystal? ”
At present, except for Sha Yunyue, no one knows that Tang Dou is already at the first level of crystal.
"My lord, the Sand Tooth Nation is clearly targeting us. It's just that the subordinates don't understand, what is the Gusi country doing this for? Morian was puzzled. The Sand Tooth Country found the Gusi Country, obviously it was the news that the Gusi Country got from the Gusi Country, so what is the purpose of the Gusi Country?
Kick Tang Dou out of them?
It doesn't make sense!
"Well, I guess ......" (To be continued.) )
