"Buying a dog? We can buy it locally, why go so far! Westin didn't understand Sheffield's words, in his opinion, dogs only need to be fierce, how can they be so crooked!

"I want a dog that can watch the house and hunt down prey! It's not a dog that doesn't recognize people, if you buy the wrong one, I'll kill all the dogs you bought back and improve the food for the black slaves! Sheffield said lightly, he remembered a very bad memory from his previous life, and now he still had a faint pain in his butt when he thought about it. The next day, he sent the perpetrator to the slaughterhouse, and I don't know if the fate of the dog has become a Korean specialty.

"Sir, the black slaves of the entire plantation can be deployed by you at will!" Sheffield didn't say much on this, and it was estimated that these masons would not have done anything excessive, and there was nothing wrong with the black slaves on the plantations who were indeed slaves. But they were slaves of the Sheffield family, and theoretically outsiders were not qualified to punish them.

Considering the size of the plantation, these courtyards would not be grouped together, otherwise it might take a long time to arrive when they went down to work in the fields every day, and although the Sheffield family had many horses, they were generally equipped with white overseers, and if even black slaves worked on horseback, they would not be slaves, but husbands.

"Gather all the black slaves, the women and children clean the plantations, and the men help the masons build houses! And dig a big pit at a distance, whoever is in the plantation in the future, be careful that I cut it......" Sheffield gestured fiercely, making the crotch of the people around him feel cold, and then commanded faintly to Westin, "As for the current black dwelling!" Speaking of this, Sheffield seemed to put himself in the shoes of a smell, and said fiercely, "After it is built, all the houses of the current black people will be bulldozed......"

Sheffield divided the black slaves on the cotton plantations into three groups, women and children cleared the remaining cotton fields, and adult men divided into two groups, one group followed the masons to dig the foundation, and chose a place to dig a hole.

How deep the foundation should be dug is not a unified standard across the country. Because there are many places to consider in this simple work, such as what is the local soil quality? Whether the groundwater is abundant or not is taken into account. If the soil is very loose and the groundwater is very abundant, the foundation will be full of water after digging one meter.

In the previous life, Sheffield's own hometown was black soil and was in a state of frozen ground for a long time, so a bungalow had to dig a foundation of nearly two meters, and the foundation of a seven-story building had to be more than ten meters deep, resulting in a long time in his hometown that there were regulations that buildings with more than seven floors could not be built.

Considering that the local area is not far from the Mississippi River, the groundwater should be very abundant, and it is itself on the alluvial plain. Sheffield and a few masons eventually let the black slaves dig up to half a meter deep as the foundation. Of course, this was the standard for black slave settlements, and in another place, Sheffield's standard was to dig a large pit eight meters long, four meters wide, and three meters deep. He really couldn't stand the three changes in his plantation, which was too easy to breed germs.

Sheffield followed a few masons around and demarcated the places where the slaves lived, trying to ensure that the work time would not be delayed, and that the centralized management of the slaves could be ensured. Then he came to the stable, selected several tall horses for a long time, and brought out a donkey that looked very docile, and used it as a means of transportation and drove slowly to the black slave Lincoln.

Lincoln had already started his work with more than a dozen slaves, and when Sheffield arrived, he could at least see that the prototype of a big pit had been revealed, and the old god of Sheffield riding a donkey was there, as if he hadn't seen the strange eyes of the black slaves, he came to Lincoln's side, and handed over all the prison orders to Lincoln, "Say, you memorize it for me, you are the first, and then all the black slaves on the entire plantation will have to be memorized, including the children!" ”

Lincoln was one of the few black slaves with a rusty head and was literate, which is why Sheffield looked at Lincoln differently, "Master, there are too many!" I'll listen to what you say, and I don't need to memorize these rules, right? ”

How does this work? If you are not allowed to accept such unequal terms from an early age, I, as a slave owner, will be so uneasy. If you don't educate yourself from an early age, the genes of resistance will always exist, isn't there a saying? Education should start from the child, although Sheffield deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence, but it must be carried out in action.

"Do you want some of the plantation overseers to whip at will? Haven't I always been on the plantation? When I can't see, if some overseers and freedmen come to you for trouble, I don't know what to do? Sheffield, of course, could not say that he wanted to firmly develop slavery, but put on a different attitude for your own good, saying, "Wouldn't it be nice for you to restrain your behaviour, to keep in mind the terms I have written, and to make sure that you don't make mistakes, and that the low-quality overseers will not trouble you?" ”

Sheffield's persuasion made the dozen or so black slaves around him unconsciously put down the shovels in their hands and listened attentively to the sermon of their benevolent master, and Sheffield did not let down the occasion, although there were only a dozen black slaves listening in front of him. In the context in which he worked in his previous life, the debate on socialism and capitalism also took up a lot of space. Not to mention fooling these black slaves who lived within the framework of slavery.

"When I first came back, I heard that when the Holden family was harvesting cotton, several black slaves died due to problems with the overseers!" At this time, in order to educate more profoundly, Sheffield did not hesitate to pull out the Holden family to lie down, but he had to wipe his ass for them who were also slave owners, so he put all the responsibility on the hired overseer, "Mr. Holden is a benevolent slave owner, when he was out of town, this kind of thing happened in the family!" This loss is not only yours, as Holden's property, Mr. Holden has also suffered a very large loss! So you have to follow the rules so that you don't get whipped by the low-quality overseers! ”

"As long as you obey the regulations, the overseer will not trouble you, and if there is another case of white people violating your wife, I promise to deal with it, and there will never be any rape of women and black slaves in my plantation in the future!" Sheffield's chest crackled, and white slave owners doing this kind of thing to black women are not news in the southern United States at the moment. I believe that this group of black slaves has also heard of it, and Sheffield has nothing to say to those heavy slave owners, fortunately this kind of thing has not happened in their family, even black people can do it, Sheffield has to say the word admiration to some white people who are not jealous.

"We know, merciful master!" Sheffield's brainwashing had an initial effect, making the black slaves in front of him cry grateful.

"I'll come to evaluate you in a week, now let's get to work!" Sheffield looked very relieved, and reminded the in front of me to hurry up and get to work.
