Violence against blacks had a disproportionate impact on the black freedmen in the city. This lets these few people who have a free identity in the black community know that they are no longer safe in New Orleans. Add to that the rumors that Sheffield was going to spread rumors that a massive attack was going to happen, and so on, made many black freedmen decide to find a large gathering area to increase their sense of security.

This agglomeration is ready-made, the town that Sheffield is ready to build. Martin, the black slave, put on Sheffield's boots and walked out of the house with Sheffield, where representatives of the black freedmen were already waiting outside.

"It's so obvious! You are not welcome, you can only live together and keep warm, there is no other way! Sheffield put on an attitude of being satisfied with these black people, and said to these black representatives, "I don't like you, but since this matter has been entrusted to our plantation, your safety is the responsibility of Sheffield plantation!" You pay for my settlements! ”

Sheffield Balabala paused, with a messianic attitude, condescendingly said that the black community was worthless, and then proposed his own solution, "I'm done, which of you agrees?" Who is against? ”

"Since there is no objection, start work in three days! I've already contacted the construction workers, and you'll be obedient when the time comes! Sheffield put down this sentence and walked out without looking back, "This plantation doesn't care, goodbye......"

In any case, the town of Sheffield still started as scheduled, and Sheffield, dressed in a very proletarian atmosphere, got up early every day and followed the workers to transport bricks and stones, dig foundations, and carry cement! From time to time, I also discuss the architectural style with the architect, "That's the case, superfluous decoration is a waste, I think the quality of a house is not in the details, but in the overall layout and planning, so I only care about whether the house is safe!" Sheffield, with a pencil pinned to his ear, dusty old clothes, and a Lenin cap on his head, transformed the image into an honorable proletarian construction worker.

"Mr. Sheffield's point of view is novel, but the house you want is simply not aesthetically pleasing!" The architect of French descent wanted to refute it, but when he thought about it, he couldn't do it.

What beauty do you want in a place where a group of black people live! As long as the reinforced cement concrete is enough, the beauty cannot be eaten as cooking. But Sheffield also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his request, and finally he remembered, it was like a Kazan prison that had shrunk many times over.

Sheffield mobilized a lot of resources from the plantation, not only pulled out a lot of slaves in the prime of life to put into the construction site, but also treated the overseers employed by the plantation equally, Sheffield can do what he can say in this matter, there is no distinction between blacks and whites, whether it is a hired white man or a black slave on the plantation, it is the same in his eyes.

"A lot of people can't stand it, don't let them take a break!" The Westin who was pushed out also felt helpless, in this field of heavy physical labor, these overseers with horsewhips were really no match for black slaves.

"No way!" Sheffield refused without thinking about it, "I already take good care of you, ten hours of work a day, you must know that the current hired workers in the north usually work eighteen hours, two hours longer than the black slaves on our plantation, Brother Westin, you can't let me spend the same amount of money and not see the results!" ”

"Yes!" Westin rolled up his sleeves and said, "I still don't believe it for two months, can you exhaust me?" ”

Sheffield invested a lot of money this time, spending more than half of the money from cotton harvesting, and in a little more than a month drove seven or eight hundred black freemen, plantation slaves, white overseers, and construction workers to build the house. If the project is compared to the body, Sheffield is now a little kidney-deficient.

If it weren't for the sheffield plantations, the young slave owners would probably have to live with IOUs by now, and Annabelle had been here twice, but the lady was dressed in an environment that was not suitable for dusty soil, and was quickly pulled aside to rest when Sheffield found out.

"Did you do a good job?" Annabelle looked at the embryonic settlement with great curiosity and said, "I heard that you are going to collect rent here?" But I don't think it's that simple, you use the house to control these so-called free people, once these blacks can't pay the rent, your next move should be to let the blacks go to the plantation to pay off the debt, right? ”

There are nearly 3,000 black freedmen here, and if Sheffield controls these blacks and leaves the other slave owners far behind, Annabelle has to admit that this hand is really beautiful, and now the only slave owner that the black freedmen believe in is Sheffield, and she suspects that Sheffield did the attack that was established some time ago. In fact, she was right, and that was what Sheffield did.

"It's annoying to be too smart!" Sheffield washed his hands and poured the girl a glass of water, "You say you're a girl, why are you so smart?" Sooner or later, you will have to marry someone else, and if anyone marries you, I will have the heart to kill him......"

Annabelle's face turned red when she heard Sheffield's alternative compliment, and she fiddled with the corners of her skirt and said coquettishly, "Why are you so shameless!" Who said I was going to marry you, don't think we're friends and just joke about it......"

Little girl, you think too much! Sheffield really wants to tell the truth, the two families are developing in the same city, and the power of Taylor Manor is much greater than that of Sheffield Plantation, if Annabelle marries, there is no doubt that they will definitely join forces and find a big slave owner with equal status to marry, isn't this equivalent to the appearance of a Sheffield family's opponent out of thin air?

The more he thought about the consequences of such a thing, the more Sheffield felt that it could not happen, as if a future enemy was close at hand, "I'm not kidding!" Sheffield drank the water that had been poured for the girl, and said to him, "You always come to see me on the plantation, I think you must have taken a fancy to me!" But it's no wonder that I'm so good both intellectually and physically, and it's not surprising to attract a little girl who is just starting to fall in love......"

As soon as the self-absorbed Sheffield looked up, he found that he had fallen into a dangerous situation where he could not hide, and was directly hit by a large pillow. "Ahem...... Sheffield, who was hit, coughed violently, and said as he coughed, "Annabelle, even if I say something on your heart, don't be angry!" ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, you now know almost nothing about the outside world except staying on the construction site!" Annabelle snorted, "Recently, the navy stationed in the northern port has gone south, and it should come to us early next month to rest, and the north has already recruited a lot of volunteers from various states, where do you think the next step will be?" ”

Sheffield was silent, he spent Christmas and New Year on the plantation, and he really became isolated, and he didn't know such a big thing.

"Wait a minute!" Sheffield spread out the map of the Americas and looked at it without hesitation, and said, "The navy is going south, and the conscription order is issued to show one thing, this is not only our war in the south, the dispatch of the navy proves that the Whigs have seen the hope of a big victory over Mexico, and I believe that Congress has discussed it!" ”

"So Texas won't be back in the arms of Mexico!" Annabelle's eyes lit up and she said, "Our family has attacked a lot of Brazilian smuggling ships in Africa, and we are currently mobilizing people to go to sea!" This time, a large number of slaves will be captured, and the price of slaves will definitely rise! ”
