"What's your name?"

Three hundred young slaves were standing against him, and then Xiao Ming asked a young man who was standing in the middle and looked a little thin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although this young man is thin, he is the most energetic one among them, about 1.7 meters tall, with big eyes, constantly looking at the surrounding environment, and looking very clever.

"Back to the master, my name is Lu Tong." The boy said.

At this time, Zhao Long shouted: "In front of you is the Seven Princes of the Great Yu Kingdom, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, you should call Your Highness." “

The word master is the name of the barbarian by the slave on the grassland, and in Zhao Long's opinion, this is disrespectful to Xiao Ming.

Lu Tong showed surprise on his face, he was bought from the grassland, they set off from the sea and came here directly, and they didn't know where this was, and said in surprise at this time: "Your Highness, the cheap slave is from Cangzhou, three years ago, the barbarians broke through Cangzhou City, and the cheap slave was plundered by the barbarians." “

At the same time, the vast majority of slaves were in an uproar, and they all said, "This is Qingzhou? We're back. "Finally home. "Great. ”

Zhao Long's face turned red at this time, the destruction of Cangzhou City was an unforgettable humiliation for the soldiers of Qingzhou, and these slaves in front of him turned out to be the people of the fiefdom who were plundered by the barbarians three years ago, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed for a while.

Xiao Ming also blushed a little, although this is the pot of the predecessor, but at this time he has to carry it himself.

He had an idea and said: "After all the hardships, this king has finally found his people back, Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, and still don't untie all their shackles and leg shackles." ”

Lu Tong's eyes were red, tears rained down, he knelt down to touch the ground with his face, picked up the loess under his feet and cried loudly, "Dad, mother, I'm back, I'm finally back." ”

"Woo woo......" The other slaves also wept bitterly at this time, and the wanderer returned to his hometown and was still touched by the scene, not to mention that they had been enslaved for three years and were tortured.

Chen Wenlong was also ashamed, he had always been taciturn, and he had never disobeyed Xiao Ming's orders, and said: "Your Highness, they are all the people of my Qingzhou, and the lower officials ask Your Highness to recreate their household registration for them and exempt them from the status of slaves." “

"It's nature." Xiao Ming said to Lu Tong: "Get up, since you are the people of my Qingzhou, you used to be free, I will return your free body from today, this king will give you silver taels and household registration, you should each return to your hometown." “

When his words fell, none of these slaves meant to leave, but you look at me, I look at you, and they look blank.

Lu Tong stood up at this time and said: "Your Highness, my father and mother were killed by barbarians in order to help me escape from the grassland, and now the cheap slaves are homeless, and most of them are the same as me. “

Xiao Ming was silent for a while, a poor and weak country will only make the people suffer, and countless histories have proved this.

Thinking of this, he bowed down and said: "Although Cangzhou was lost three years ago, the generals who defended the city abandoned the city and fled, but this king also has an unshirkable responsibility, here, I apologize to you." “

"Your Highness, this ......" Lu Tong and the others were stunned, and hurriedly knelt down, "How dare a cheap slave be a big gift to His Highness." ”

Seeing Xiao Ming like this, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu glanced at each other, and a different color flashed in their eyes.

Xiao Ming lifted Lu Tong up and said: "The barbarian soldiers are strong and strong, and my Qingzhou is poor and weak, and the loss of Cangzhou is the responsibility of the guard, but the fundamental is that my Qingzhou soldiers are not strong enough, the horses are not strong enough, the shame of three years ago The king has not forgotten, and now he is trying his best to revitalize the fiefdom and ensure the safety of the people in the future. “

Lu Tong and the others have nowhere to go now, the young man's heart is warm, Xiao Ming's strong words suddenly made his heart surge, he said: "If His Royal Highness does not give up, I am willing to saddle the horse before and after." ”

Xiao Ming looked at the others, some were as radiant as Lu Tong, and some seemed to have other things on their minds and were slightly worried.

He thought that it was impossible for everyone to lose their parents like Lu Tong and be helpless, he said: "I am willing to welcome the king who stays with Lu Tong, and if there is a king who wants to go home, he will not be reluctant, and he will be entangled according to the silver and silver." ”

"Your Highness." Several voices rang out.

Xiao Ming said to Chen Wenlong at this time: "You go and ask the other slaves, if they belong to the people of Qingzhou, they will return their freedom, and those who need to be entangled will be entangled, and if they want to stay in the workshop to work, they will be paid monthly wages according to the craftsmen." ”

"Yes." Chen Wenlong nodded and walked towards the workshop, and at the same time, those young people who wanted to go back, Xiao Ming also asked them to follow Chen Wenlong.

A third of the three hundred or so people left in an instant, and two hundred people remained, and at this time they all looked at Xiao Ming and waited for the order.

Now that they are homeless, but Xiao Ming, with the respect of a prince, is willing to take them in, this is undoubtedly a good thing for the world to drop pies, it is a hundred times better than suffering on the grassland and being killed at any time.

Looking at the remaining two hundred or so people, Xiao Ming said: "Since you choose to stay, you will be the king's people in the future, this time I will select you in order to teach you some special skills, from today you will go back to Qingzhou with me, live in the courtyard next door to the Qi Palace, and I will teach you some skills from tomorrow." “

"Yes, Your Highness." Lu Tong and the others bowed down and said.

Xiao Ming nodded and asked Zhao Long and Zhao Hu to take them back, he was not worried about whether these people would be happy to be craftsmen.

Compared to the status of slaves, this has been improved too much, and with the improvement of Qingzhou's status as craftsmen in the future, he believes that these teenagers will be more happy with their identity.

This time, in order to cultivate a group of technical talents, Xiao Ming also made a bloody investment and deliberately bought a courtyard next door, which was for confidentiality and safety.

Because after opening up, the courtyard and the palace built an alley to figure it out, and there was only a door in the middle.

After Zhao Long and Zhao Hu sent Lu Tong and the others over, they immediately went to the Governor's Mansion, and then the palace had twenty more fully armed elite guards.

Although these 200 people were arranged by Xiao Ming, Zhao Long and Zhao Hu still raised their vigilance for Xiao Ming's safety, if these 200 people mutinied, it would be a big threat to the palace, and this was also just in case.

Xiao Ming didn't object to this, he didn't think that he could tame these teenagers from now on just by saying a few words.

The specific quality of these people will have to be slowly observed in the future, after all, sometimes in his position, you can't have a few more eyes, if these people can do their duty in the future, it will naturally be better.

If he eats inside and outside, harming the interests of Qingzhou, he will definitely not be soft at that time, since he is in the emperor's family, he always remembers that he must not be a virgin.

Because this will not only kill yourself, but also harm the millions of people in the fiefdom.
