Chapter 2: The Ass Problem

Great undertakings start from the ordinary, and the growth of towering trees also needs early and careful care, and Sheffield is still far from the goal of burning Washington and hanging Lincoln, so early preparation is a must. The first thing is to lay the foundation, as a plantation owner, you must expand production, and the first step is to buy black slaves.

The Sheffield family's plantation in the northern suburbs of New Orleans, some distance from the port, was nine o'clock in the morning, and in about two and a half hours, the wagons would arrive at the slave market at the port. In fact, Sheffield himself is very willing to take the train, but unfortunately the south of the United States is different from the north, whether it is a railroad or other modern facilities, there are relatively few railroads, presenting a primitive environment, in other words, it is very backward, only New Orleans has a short section of railroad, if he goes there to make a train, he may have reached the slave market.

"Young master, why did you take that black slave with you?" Butler said with some reluctance, "Lincoln is just a black slave, and sitting in a carriage with you will make you very shameless......"

Sheffield really wanted to nod seriously, agreeing with Butler's point of view, in all fairness, he agreed with Butler's words, but unfortunately Sheffield also had his own considerations, Lincoln is now equivalent to a traitor cultivated by Sheffield, if a person becomes a traitor, usually in order to show loyalty to the master, he will be more cruel than others to the people of his own nation, which Sheffield can find countless examples from ancient and modern times.

"Black minions know black slaves best!" Sheffield watched the groom approach in an open-top carriage, beckoned the carriage to stop, and continued to wait for Lincoln's arrival. The black slave Lincoln is in his twenties, half a head taller than the current seventeen-year-old Sheffield, and his height should be about 1.85 meters, and his upper body is full of gas-like explosive muscles, which can be regarded as a black strong man.

The Sheffield family's open-top carriage was large, with both the function of carrying people and transporting goods, without the superfluous and useless ornamentation, highlighting a practicality, and Lincoln was a little hesitant under the carriage, standing on the side of the carriage and stopped.

"Let you come up, come up......" Sheffield took the side and tapped the baffle meaningfully ordered, "let you sit and sit, as long as I give you this right, you can not care about any other person's gaze......"

Sheffield looked at the black charcoal in front of him hypocritically, and occasionally a flash of white light on Lincoln's mouth made him very interested, the carriage swayed, and the white coachman in front of him had to look at the road, obviously he couldn't talk nonsense with Sheffield. In order to pass the boring journey, he can only talk nonsense with the black slave in front of him.

"Have those black slaves been a little dissatisfied with me lately?" Sheffield lit a cigar, but instead of smoking it, he handed it directly to Lincoln, the black slave sitting across from him. If you want to say that when you come to this world, except for the level of smoking, the level is not declining.

"No, everyone agrees with the master's management method!" Lincoln, the black slave, finally took the lit cigar tremblingly at Sheffield's repeated instructions. He cowered and thanked him for a while, not knowing what kind of idea the white devil in front of him had.

"That's good, it's pretty much what I thought!" Sheffield nodded noncommittally, slavery in the United States has been practiced for a long time, and some black slaves have been slaves for generations. When Sheffield first woke up, he soon found that these black slaves were very dishonest, always trying to be lazy and deliberately breaking tools.

What's the difference between this and grabbing money in Sheffield? As a benevolent slave owner, Sheffield could not do anything to mutilate the body of a black slave, and he would not do it as a punishment for depriving a black slave of his labor. Sheffield, who had simply studied in the KGB, was well-informed, and all kinds of hearing and seeing reminded him of a cult and cult sharp fork.

But even so, the benevolent Sheffield was reluctant to do so, and instead of smoothing the spike head and putting it on the slave's neck, it was fastened to the neck by a leather strap that was inserted into the chin at one end and pointed straight at the sternum. Only by lengthening the neck will the pain be reduced. In Sheffield's view, this is a good way to treat cervical spondylosis, and he also thinks about the health of the black slaves, so he chose a criminal law that seems to have no sequelae. As for tying black slaves to pillars for a day and a night, it seemed to Sheffield that it was a small scene.

Sheffield, who has good intentions, will not say these words to the black slave Lincoln, the position of the two is different, and the black slave Lincoln will not understand at all, Sheffield always has the mood of wanting to harm the people! The status of the two should be changed, these black slaves may torture him to death, he doesn't think that these black slaves will have any moral bottom line in their minds.

It can be said that Sheffield and Lincoln's thinking has never been in the same dimension, and their positions are naturally opposite.

Sheffield is different from the big brother and old man who are currently on the battlefield in Mexico, and the attitude of the two of them towards black slaves is the same, while Sheffield does not mind co-opting a few people among the black slaves to realize the plan of using black to cure black.

Don't look at Sheffield has only been in this world for less than a month, but there is one thing that he has now felt very clearly, the system of slavery, although the white people in the north and these black slaves are opposed, the capitalists in the north want to eradicate slavery and sweep away the big southern plantation owners who are fighting with them in the country, and the black slaves oppose slavery is actually easier to understand.

"What these black slaves oppose is not slavery at all, what they oppose is, why are they slaves!" Sheffield sneered in his heart, what if these black slaves were slave owners? Will they still oppose slavery?

Adhering to the idea of seeing through and not telling, Sheffield did not exchange ideas with the black slave Lincoln on such an issue. Turning to the rambling of the water, the Sheffield group arrived at their home in the French-speaking part of New Orleans near noon. Most of the buildings in the French-speaking area are Spanish-style buildings, and the luxurious Spanish buildings are located in the French-speaking areas, because the French-speaking buildings have long been burned down after two fires during the period when the French Quarter was under Spanish administration.

"John, Audrey!" Sheffield hugged his younger siblings as soon as he entered, and the two happy children gathered around Sheffield, looking in a pretty good mood. Unlike Sheffield, twelve-year-old John and eight-year-old Audrey only have the happy smile of their brother.

After eating, Sheffield said goodbye to the two reluctant little ones and set off for the slave market, ready to replenish the Sheffield family's plantation with a little labor.
