Meaty thugs ride tall horses and carry guns to swagger through the city, and thugs in Mexican cowboy hats gather together, and while far less oppressive than a wave, it's a rare spectacle in New Orleans. The silent seriousness of more than 100 thugs is eye-catching.

Of course, not many people saw this kind of scene, and the thugs of Taylor Manor also adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, and did not go north from the main road in the city, but chose a shortcut to go around the main road. When they arrived at Sheffield Manor in the north of the city, the dusty Taylor Manor thugs stopped, and the overseers of Sheffield Manor were already waiting there, and after the two sides converged, they began to continue the pursuit.

"Master Sheffield, we haven't eaten yet! Miss said you could have a bite to eat at Sheffield Manor and then go after it! The leading thug tilted his head and pushed his cowboy hat with his fingers, not treating himself as an outsider. Behind him, there was an army of nearly a hundred people.

"Why didn't anyone tell me yesterday? Besides, there are too many of your people, and you can't accept it! "Sheffield felt like an old stream of blood rushing straight to my brain, and I felt like my mind was stagnant. More than 100 strong men came to eat early in the morning, and the Sheffield plantation couldn't afford such hospitality a few more times.

"Young Master Sheffield, why are you talking about your relationship with our young lady?" The leading thug laughed and jumped from his horse and said, "I've seen you and our young lady walking several times at Taylor's Manor, and we're all family, so why bother seeing each other like this, right?" ”нéiУāпGê

Who is the family with you? I don't know Annabelle yet? That girl's purpose is simple and terrifying, if someone else Sheffield might still think that she has taken a fancy to herself? But if Annabelle said it, the purpose was very simple, just a simple proposal to let these hundred or so thugs come over for a meal and save the expenses of Taylor's estate.

"The conditions are poor and not well cared for! Gentlemen, please feel free to ......," Sheffield greeted with a disgusting smile, "Miss Annabelle and I are attracted to each other, and the people of Taylor Manor can consider Sheffield Plantation their own, please feel free!" ”

Sheffield, who had suffered a sullen loss, simply put on a generous and hospitable side, letting all the thugs of Taylor Manor rest here, and at the same time, his mouth was not closed at all, and he rubbed oil from the eldest lady of Taylor Manor from the words one by one.

"Young Master Sheffield, the eldest lady will come over to your plantation in a moment!" The leading thug said with a smile while stuffing bread, and as for Sheffield's words of rubbing oil, he was very clever and didn't answer a word.

Why don't you choke to death! Sheffield smiled and welcomed the arrival of Miss Taylor Manor, and asked, "What is the name of this gentleman?" ”

"My name is Bird Taylor, and I immigrated from Mr. Taylor's hometown!" Bird Taylor replied with a mouthful of bread.

Do you know it, I really want to beat you to death with bread! Sheffield said to himself. French baguette is very delicious when it is just baked, but it can't be left, Sheffield's impression of French baguette stays in his previous life when he was studying pastry in his hometown, French baguette is commonly known as French baguette in his hometown, and once it cools, it is a weapon of mass destruction comparable to a baton.

"Raidon Thomas, you're on the move with our overseers and the friends of Taylor's Manor!" Sheffield tried not to focus on the army of rubbing rice, and nearly ten black aunts were busy in the kitchen. The men of Taylor Manor ruthlessly depleted a portion of the plantation's grain reserves.

Sheffield can't afford to provide a meal, how to say that these Taylor Manor people are all helping, although Wilson Taylor is mainly for his own interests, but he Sheffield is also naked, isn't it!

After the pursuit party set out from Taylor's Manor again, the huge team had grown to more than one hundred and twenty people. These people will pursue all the way from the northwest, as for why not directly to the north, it is because the Sheffield family has another plantation further north, which is the bank of the Mississippi River, and Sheffield has always wanted to buy that plantation, but there is no way to do so yet.

"Clean up here, the male slave continues to clean up the cotton field, and the female slave goes back first! In a moment, we have guests on the plantation! Henry, if Annabelle comes and wakes me up......" Sheffield asked Henry to inform the black slaves who were still in the ground, and went back to the house to sleep for a while, thinking that he was welcoming a group of helpers, but a group of rubbers came.

When Sheffield was woken up, it was almost noon, and when he was hungry, he rubbed his eyes, and was about to go to meet him, when he saw the carriage of Taylor Manor from a distance, and I have to say that the dark body of this carriage and the flowing horses in front of it showed how extraordinary the owner sitting in it was.

The carriage stopped, Sheffield stood next to the carriage and held Annabelle's hand, and Annabelle, who came here for the first time, asked curiously, "This is your plantation, it's very good!" Much cleaner than the slave market, and cleaner than the Holden family's plantation! It seems that the number of overseers has decreased a lot, and they have been sent out to pursue fugitive slaves? ”

"The number of overseers doesn't say anything!" "Whipping and lynching slaves alone will not only not help to improve efficiency, but will also increase the cost of hiring overseers, which can easily be solved with a few minor adjustments in the treatment of black slaves," said Sheffield, pulling Annabelle's handcart and looking at his plantation......

"So you have a solution?" Annabelle looked curious, the state of black slaves on Sheffield Plantation was much better than what he had ever seen, and there was no such strong resistance, she was very curious about this change.

"Yes, you come with me!" Sheffield took out his prison management norms and said, "Black slaves are no different from white people, they also have wisdom, but a little lower!" When you are beaten, you know that it hurts, and when you are scolded, you know shame! Just let them know what they can and can't do! Stipulating a general scope, these black slaves will not challenge the bottom line I have set! ”

"So other plantations can do that?" Annabelle held the Sheffield Specification, her eyes sparkling.

"A normal plantation is fine, but your family can't! Your slave market itself is very violent, and you can't catch the black slave trade without violence, which is not suitable for your family...... "Sheffield didn't take out the rules and regulations, and it's a good thing that this kind of thing spreads, because the slightest mistake will break the skin of the black slaves, which is indeed too barbaric."

"Show me around your plantation, it doesn't seem like anywhere else!" Annabelle put away Sheffield's terms and proposed, "Let's get rid of the cotton after harvesting, it shouldn't be busy......

"It's still very early to plant cotton next year, it's a shame that such a large piece of land is empty, I want to plant something else!" Sheffield hadn't turned down Annabelle's offer to visit, and if he hadn't said yes a month ago, the plantation would not have been too shameful now that it was much cleaner.
