Chapter 2091 Commitments

Lu Jianhui looked surprised. Said: "These Spartan warriors and these Kunlun slaves are in the same situation. It's supposed to be sympathetic. What to look at when these Kunlun slaves. His expression was so arrogant and disdainful."

Where does Lu Jianhui know. These Spartan slaves. Originally a warrior of the city-state of Sparta. And the warriors of Sparta . They were usually made up of free burghers and aristocrats. The Kunlun slave of the black 'colored' race. In Sparta. I can only be a slave. And the Spartans treated slaves . It was one of the most brutal of all the city-states in Greece. The slave owner killed the slave as he went. Even if the slave does not make mistakes. Every year. Slave owners would still whip their slaves once. In order to make these slaves remember their identity.

However, feng shui takes turns. When these Spartan warriors were reduced to slavery. These Kunlun slaves are acting as guards and thugs at Andyman's side. Escort these slaves all the way from the Sabbath to the Qin State. Along the way, these proud Spartan slaves suffered a lot. between the parties. Hatred is not shallow. Until we arrived in Xianyang. This batch of Kunlun slaves has not been of much value since Andyman's side. It was degraded to slavery and sold. When he was in the same situation as the Spartan slaves. Naturally, it was impossible to get the kindness of the Spartan slaves.

After the interpreter translated Chen Sheng's words. Quite a few slaves had angry looks on their faces, but many more slaves. The look on the face is sadness or numbness. Reduced to slavery. Thousands of miles. There is no possibility of returning to his hometown for the rest of his life. These slaves are dead-hearted.

Chen Sheng ignored what these slaves were thinking. Said lightly: "But don't worry. I'm not a brutal slave owner. If you will declare allegiance to me. Works for me. After you have paid more than I paid when I bought you. I'll give you freedom."

When the interpreter translated Chen Sheng's words. There was an incredible cry from among the slaves. In accordance with the contract. All slaves are the wealth of their masters. No matter how much wealth is created for the owner. None of them can fundamentally change such a fact. So in the face of Chen Sheng's narration. The more slaves are distrustful of attitudes.

Chen Sheng smiled faintly. He said, "I know you are suspicious, and you may think I'm lying to you. But it's not necessary. for I am your master. I control your life and death. You can be commanded to do anything. But. I remember you as valiant Spartan warriors. I feel like a descendant with heroic blood. It shouldn't just be a slave. Labor under the supervision of a leather whip. Rather, pick up the weapon with dignity . Fight your way on the battlefield. Or return with a shield of victory. Either die on the shield."

Chen Sheng's rhetoric is exquisite. Every Spartan has a belligerent breath in his blood. It is said that every youth who went to war. Their mothers will be on the march.' Give them their ancestral shields. Say something to your son: "Either you will come back with your shield. Either the corpse is entrenched on it."

Chen Sheng's words. Let these Spartan slaves who exude a depraved atmosphere be invigorated. They all looked up. Looking at Chen Sheng. Look at the young slave owner in front of him. As a matter of fact. The average age of these Spartan slaves. It's only about twenty-three or fourteen years old. It also belongs to the young people who have not been in the war for a long time. The blood flowing in his body with a longing for war has not yet cooled. It is very easy to be 'excited' by Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng watched the 'spirit' of these slaves change. A smile appeared on his face. Said, "I can set you free. But only if . You are within 10 years from today. Must serve me. I spent a lot of money buying you guys. I have to recoup my costs. But. In this decade. You don't have to worry about getting the same rations as animals. With heavy shackles on his feet and unscrupulous clothing. You can live like a warrior. Fight for me. If you have made a war exploit. You can also get promoted or get free early. Of course. If you guys have other skills. For example, knowledge or 'mastery' of a certain craft. You can also tell me. Create wealth for me. I'll look at the value of your contributions. Cut down the time you have served me. And pay you a certain salary. Let you return to your hometown. What do you think. How is this 'trade'?"

Chen Sheng's words were not fast. The translation is also to explain the meaning of Chen Sheng's words sentence by sentence. But these contents. Don't say those slaves in front of you are surprised. Even the Hu people who act as interpreters. They all expressed doubts about Chen Sheng's words. Because he had never seen such a generous slave owner. He would come up with a declaration of freedom for hundreds of slaves.

Jianhui. Untie their shackles!" Chen Sheng waved at Lu Jianhui. Lu Jianhui nodded. Let people pass. Untie the shackles of more than a hundred slaves with heavy shackles on their feet.

"From today. You are on the feet and on the neck. There will be no shackles. But I believe . You are all dignified warriors. I will not run away because of my tolerance for you. If so. I don't blame you. I would only think of the Spartan city-state. This home of heroes. Not worthy of the name." Chen Sheng calmly glanced at the Spartans standing in front of him. A dangerous smile was maintained on his face. Try to exude something like the "aura of a king" in order to convince these Spartans.

The Spartans listened to the interpreter. They exchanged heads with each other, and one of the Spartans, who looked to be no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old, walked out. Knelt down towards Chen Sheng's single 'leg'. Something muttered in his mouth.

Chen Sheng glanced at the interpreter. The interpreter hurriedly translated the words of the Spartan: "So. . . Kind hosts. If you are really able to fulfill everything you say. Our warriors of Sparta. In the next ten years. will fight for you. Shed blood and sacrifice for you. But if you break your oath. We will be desperate when the time comes. Ignoring the slave oath that should be followed. and I will die with you."

Chen Sheng smiled and nodded. said: "It's a 'handover'."

The Kunlun slaves of Dunhuang. Watch Chen Sheng and the Spartan slaves come to an agreement. But in the discourse they ignore their existence. It is inevitable that there will be some anxiety in my heart. Chen Sheng finished dealing with these Spartans. He also turned to these Kunlun slaves and said, "The agreement I made with them. It works for you as well."

A cheer erupted from the mouths of the Kunlun slaves. Kneeled. The bold one also crawled close to Chen Sheng. Put your head next to Chen Sheng's feet. Carefully lift Chen Sheng's feet. Stepping on his head, which was already close to the ground. to show his surrender to Chen Sheng.

Watch this scene. Lu Jianhui and others were even more dumbfounded. I can't help but think: "This Kunlun slave is really good at sycophancy. No wonder they are slaves. But the body is much stronger than these Spartans. I want to coax the original owner to be happy. I'm also getting a little filled."

It's just that Chen Sheng understands. This was a ritual for these Kunlun slaves to declare their allegiance to their masters. So he was not welcome. Trample on the head of this slave. Nodding to the rest of the Kunlun slaves. I got the ghost cry of those Kunlun slaves again.

……

"This piece of land. I bought it from Shaofu. There were two hundred acres of land. Because of the remoteness. And it's close to barren mountains. So the price is low." Stand beside Chen Sheng. Ling Suyun pointed to a large area of land below the hill and said. I'm curious. You're buying such a big piece of land here. What are you going to do?"

Chen Sheng looked at the wasteland in front of him. said: "Naturally, it is the establishment of a workshop. Think about it. Our paper mill is in Fujian. The monthly shipping fee is not easy. And Xianyang is the center of consumption. Therefore, we must shift the focus from Fujian to Xianyang."

Ling Suyun frowned and said, "But the paper factory. In Fujian, it feeds a lot of people. It is also one of the important financial revenues in Fujian. If the paper yard is closed. Consequences. It's not good." The Ling family's investment in Fujian is huge. It is impossible to return to Xianyang with Chen Sheng. and from there the capital was withdrawn. Chen Sheng is also clear about this.

Chen Sheng smiled. "The paper mill won't be moved back," he said. "Papermaking is a very simple process," he says. We're only a few years ahead at best. After a few years. There will definitely be contenders. When the price of the paper comes. It's bound to drop to a very low level. But in a few years. The Ling family's investment in Fujian. It should also pay off. As long as the income from the tea mountains and salt works and several mines is stabilized. It's enough to 'communicate' with your family. Potatoes also began to be cultivated there in general. It won't take a few years. Another huge amount of income. Development of Fujian. Should be able to follow the rules. There will be no big mess."

Ling Suyun nodded slightly. The fox said suspiciously: "Then what kind of workshop to build in Xianyang."

"Of course, it's a bit more technical. Manufacture peels and mirrors." Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Especially the mirror. I believe. It's worth it. It's going to be unimaginably high." Chen Sheng pointed to some of the buildings being built near the diversion of the Wei River and said, "In the next few years. We're going through this place. Accumulate enough wealth. to cope with the changes in the future."

Looking at the worry between Chen Sheng's eyebrows. She wondered, "What a change." Hearing this. Ling Suyun was also a little uneasy in her heart.

Chen Sheng smiled bitterly. said: "It's hard to say. But when the time comes, you'll know. For a rainy day. It's always good. I hope. The ones I'm worried about won't find out. If so. Wait until the world is too peaceful. I will resign and retire. And you travel all over the world. Visit the world's scenic spots. What do you think?"

Listening to Chen Sheng's words. A happy smile spread across Ling Suyun's face. Leaning on Chen Sheng's body. "That's the best."
