When the chain smashed into Zhong Wuregret, the strong man next to the slave pulled the chain, and as soon as the slave fell to the ground, the whip was drawn.

The guy with a meaty face piled up a smile and said to Zhong Wuregret: "These Xu Mi have a bit of a big temper, so if you stay here for a long time, you have to take on a little more responsibility." ”

Zhong Wuregret secretly thought: With such a fierce slave, it is strange that those who dare to buy them are not afraid of death. But he replied, "As long as I work, I will discipline them, I don't know how much do you want for one?" ”

"Ten taels of silver each, eight in all. How many do you want? The meaty-faced guy asked.

Zhong Wuregret seemed to remember that it was recorded in the history books that a horse or silk could be exchanged for five slaves, and he thought that the guy with a full face did not extort him at a high price, so he said: "I want all of these eight." ”

"A total of eighty taels of silver, these Xu Mi are in good health, because they have always refused to obey the master's discipline, and they have beaten a little harder, just go back and raise them." The people who came out to negotiate the price were all guys with a full face. The other two five big and three thick people, one with a knife and the other with a sword, stood behind the meaty guy with a face.

"Where's their Dan book?" Zhong Wuregret asked.

"Here," said the meaty-faced guy holding up the Danshu and saying to the little boy, "Come here and show him the Danshu." ”

The little boy took the Danshu and handed it to Zhong Wuregret, Zhong Wuregret didn't look at it, so he stuffed it into his arms, and then took out eighty taels of silver and said, "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, I can take people away, right?" ”

The guy with a meaty face put away eighty taels of silver and said, "Go?" What to take with you? I was about to keep you, but you were more than ten taels of silver. He laughed.

"You have to be honest in doing business, how can you ......" Zhong Wuregret said with a pretended panic look.

The guy with a meaty face didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to the two big and three thick people behind him, "Lock him up quickly." ”

The two five big and three thick people pointed with their swords: "Be honest, otherwise the sword will be ruthless." As they spoke, they stepped forward and tried to tie Zhong Wuregret with chains.

said that it was too late, and before anyone stepped forward, I saw Zhong Wuregret's hand raised, and two flying knives had been inserted into the throats of the two of them, and they didn't scream, and they fell to the ground.

As soon as the guy with a meaty face saw it, he immediately swung his fist and pounced, Zhong Wuregret flashed to the side, and at the moment of dodging, the fighting knife had stabbed the guy back and forth in the heart. In the blink of an eye, the three fierce guys all died.

Zhong Wuregret's agile skills and brutal killing intent stunned everyone, including those slaves.

It wasn't until Zhong Wuregret's gloomy gaze turned to his body that the little boy knelt down in a hurry, his crotch was already soaked, and he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Daxia spare me, I don't know he wants to sell you, ask in this area, you know that I am an honest person, and I never do anything that hurts heaven and reason." Please, the hero will take my life! ”

Zhong Wuregret didn't want to kill him in the first place, but it was good to scare him. So he said to the little boy: "Tomorrow you are still waiting for me at the gate of the county, I still want to buy a few Xu Mi, or you will show me the way, and give me a photo." However, if you don't come, I'll be wandering this alley every day, and I'll find you someday, right? When the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"I must obey, I must obey." The little boy said busily.

"Take it." Zhong Wuregret found the silver from the body of the meaty guy with a face, and he took a piece of broken silver to the little boy. It is a great luck for a little boy to save his life, how dare he accept the reward.

"If you are told to take it, you can take it, but you can't tell anyone about today's matter, otherwise, hehehehe......" Zhong Wuregret's sneer scared the young man into peeing his pants again.

Looking at the silver taels handed to him by Zhong Wuregret, the little boy accepted the silver with a thousand thanks.

Zhong Wuxian quietly took the eight slaves into the carriage. Before leaving, I didn't forget to throw a fire in the cellar.

As soon as he returned to Luming Garden, Zhong Wuregret immediately brought these eight slaves to the martial arts arena. Perhaps Zhong Wuregret's skill just now shocked them, and the eight slaves stood honestly without saying a word.

Zhong Wuregret learned some movements on TV, and after patrolling back and forth in front of them for a few times, he raised his hand and almost said "Brother Jiang Jun......".

He swallowed his saliva and began his speech: "I bought you back, not to be Xu Mi, but to learn martial arts with me to be a nurse, these Danshu," Zhong Wuregret patted the Danshu in his arms and continued: "If you behave well, I will burn it for you at the right time and return your free body."

I have paid you for the money, and those men have not lived for their own wickedness, and although the money has returned to me, it is their money, and you should think about it, and you probably know what kind of punishment the fugitive slaves will receive if they are not with me.

According to the law of Chu, there are five punishments for fugitive slaves, namely 黥 (ink), slashing, slashing, palace, and Dapi. Ink is the inscription on your face or forehead and then the application of ink; Cutting the nose is slit; Punishment means amputation; The palace punishment is the punishment of cutting off the genitals of a man and claustrophobic of a woman; Dabi is the death penalty.

I will untie the chains for you now, and I will not force you to stay if you want to stay, and I will give you twenty copper coins for the passage if you want to go. ”

After saying that, Zhong Wuregret untied all the chains of the eight slaves.

How can there be such a good thing? Nothing had ever been heard of, and the eight slaves were in a dream. In the middle of the ring, a slave said that he wanted to leave, and Zhong Wuregret did not hesitate to give him twenty copper coins and let him go on the road.

The remaining seven were slightly combined, and they all decided to stay in Luming Garden.

The next day, the little boy didn't dare to miss the appointment. In this way, relying on him to lead the way, Zhong Wuregret bought thirty more slaves in the hands of different people.

After buying these thirty slaves, Zhong Wuregret began ideological and political mobilization.

What is advanced, the vanguard of liberating the slaves of the whole Chu country, it is all, only the most realistic life improvement and personal liberation are the yearning of these slaves, Zhong Wuregret is to let these slaves rely on their own struggle to achieve their own yearning, instead of promising a lot of vain and ethereal goals.

But it's inevitable to put on a show!

Zhong Wuxian first gathered all the purchased slaves together, and then opened the chains for them himself, he held the chains and asked them loudly, "Are you willing to lock you up for the rest of your life?" ”

The first time, no one answered. After he asked a second time, the slave whispered, "No." ”

"Be louder!"

"I don't want to!" The slaves who spoke abounded.

"Be louder!"

"I don't want to!" This time it was really deafening.

"That's right, you don't want to, and I don't want to lock up your whole life with this thing, so you are free people when you enter Luming Garden." The expected cheers did not appear, which made Zhong Wuregret feel very disappointed. He whispered in his heart: "Damn, at least praise the great, glorious, and right!" ”

He continued to smile and said, "You don't have to do heavy work in the future, but it may be more tiring than doing heavy work, because you are a professional nursing home, and professional nursing homes must practice strong martial arts in order to protect the family and the garden." However, this home is not only my home, but yours as well.

In the future, you will be given ten copper coins a month, and if there is a war, the meritorious ones will also be given land and rewards, and with the money and land, you will be able to marry and have children. If you are injured in a fight with the enemy, you can also get a share of the land for retirement. In the unfortunate event of death, a pension of five taels of silver is granted. ”

But when a person dies, who will use this pension, Zhong Wuregret didn't think about it.

However, Zhong Wuregret's words were like cold water falling into a boiling oil pot, boiling!

The slaves were really excited, their fate was not even as good as that of pigs and dogs, but now it was like suddenly coming to heaven, you know, these conditions offered by Zhong Wuregret could not even be met by the most loyal soldiers.

"However, it doesn't mean that everyone who wants to become a professional nursing home can become a professional nursing home, and they have to pass the exam after training." Zhong Wuregret said.

"What is an exam?" At this time, many slaves asked loudly, no one would be subtle when it came to matters involving vital interests.

"Don't understand the exam? The exam is to test whether you can pass the martial arts after training. If you can't pass the test, you will be an amateur nurse. The amateur nursing home is mainly to do other things, and when the enemy comes, he will defend against the enemy. In fact, Zhong Wuregret's explanation was completely unnecessary, and the basic system at that time was "the unity of peasants and soldiers".

The five families of the people are compared, the five are the Lu, the four are the clans, the five clans are the parties, the five parties are the states, and the five states are the townships. The army is a team of five people, five soldiers are two, four two are pawns, five soldiers are brigades, five brigades are divisions, and five divisions are armies. "Bi", "Lu", "Clan", "Party", "Prefecture", "Township" and "Army", "Liang", "Pawn", "Brigade", "Division", and "Army" refer to the corresponding and unified military establishment of the administrative organization of the residents of the village and community and the military establishment of the army.

Then, Zhong Wuregret took out a stack of "Dan books" and said: "This is your Dan book, after passing the training, the Dan book will be burned in front of you, and the slave will be removed forever." ”

But the mood of the slaves present was boiling! It's like wearing a red armband on your arm, looking at the ** great people and waving to them. The slaves were holding their stomachs and were eager to start training right away. Many men who have not shed a single tear under the cruel torture are now rippling with tears and hugging the prime minister and crying.

"Who were you former prisoners of war?" After letting the slaves vent for a while, Zhong Wuregret asked.

At this time, seven or eight slaves said that they had been prisoners of war.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the "Wu" consisted of five warriors, who were infantry under the chariot, and they fought on the chariot. Therefore, Zhong Wuregret said: "Our professional nursing home is different from the army, our establishment is five people in one team, two teams in one team, and thirty of you are exactly three teams. Each team has two captains and one captain. The three teams are a platoon, and the platoon commander and deputy platoon commander have been served. The captain and captain are your former prisoners of war. ”

After speaking, Zhong Wuregret picked out three captains from the first batch of slaves to buy, and then said: "Captain Wu each has twelve copper coins per month, and the captain has fifteen copper coins per month each, but after training, the captain and the captain may be replaced, and they will be served by more capable people, don't blame others at that time, complain about your own lack of effort, you know?" ”

"Yes!" The slaves replied in unison.

But the slaves don't have a name, so what do you call them? Simply, the three teams are called the heron team, the Ming team, and the garden team, and the soldiers are called in the order of height and shortness, and the team is called heron 1 and heron 2...... Ming 1, Ming 2...... Park 1, Park 2...... And so on, all the way up to ten. Needless to say, the one named Ten must be the shortest one.

In this way, Zhong Wuregret had his first private army team.
