"Lord Castle Lord, the walls of Garin City are currently very dangerous and need to be upgraded."

Sabi is a very strong ape-man, but he is uglier than the average ape-man, but his mind is still quite clear, and it is not unreasonable for him to be entrusted by the redback.

Yang Cheng sighed when he heard this: "There is no money." ”

"Well, that's a problem."

This is a big problem, Shunjiang now has no ability to upgrade the city wall, even if he has money, he can't do it, he must first build the central square, and then he can have enough development value.

"But now there are more people in the city, and the taxes are also increasing, although it is very slow, but it is developing in a good direction." Yang Chengdao.

Previously, Garin City was shrouded in war, and most of the NPCs had left their homes, but now they have finally returned. Although it is still deserted, it is much stronger than it was some time ago, and now there are even merchants on this street.

Seeing the figure of the businessman, Yang Cheng felt a burst of joy in his heart. For the city to develop, commerce is the top priority, and the development of commerce needs to be driven by these NPC merchants, these people are treasures in Yang Cheng's eyes.

A small-eyed merchant in front of him was loading goods, muttering something without knowing what to do, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood.

At this time, an ape man who had just finished carrying building materials passed by, and when he walked to the merchant, he saw the merchant pull him by and said, "Hey, you slave is idle, help me carry these boxes of goods." ”

The ape-man blinked, and he was accustomed to being a slave without saying a word, and immediately began to do it, looking very hard.

"Hurry up, you stupid guy." The merchant still thought that the ape-man was moving too slowly, and it was a kick to go up. "I really don't know what bad luck I had, I was deceived into coming here to buy goods, the road is not good, not to mention, the goods are also poor, it's a waste of time. Hurry up, finish loading it for me sooner and I'll get out of here sooner. ”

The ape-man didn't say a word, and only cared about moving the goods. And the merchant kept urging, and at the same time his mouth was constantly scolding, obviously not too satisfied with this slave.

Yang Cheng frowned, looked up at Sabi, and found that Sabi was only slightly lost in his eyes, but he didn't have the slightest intention of going up to stand up for his clansmen.

"Servile deep seed!" Yang Cheng said secretly in his heart.

In fact, this can't be blamed on the ape-people, in the background of the game, they have been set up as a race that has been enslaved for a long time, so the "wisdom" they have been given has naturally been baptized, and they can only reluctantly accept the fact that they are slaves. Even if they still worship freedom, it is only under the stirring of the leader that such a surge of blood will swell, but it comes and goes quickly, and it is easy to be beaten back to its original shape.

At this time, the merchant suddenly spotted Sabi and several apes beside him, and hurriedly yelled at him, "Hey, you guys, you are all ownerless, right?" Hurry up and move it, and I'll reward you with a few silver coins. ”

Sabi was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously wanted to go up and help. But Yang Cheng was one step ahead of him, walked straight to the merchant, and said, "Brother, you are quite majestic." ”

"Who are you?" The merchant's small eyes deliberately widened, revealing a look of disdain. "Look you're well-dressed, but you're only inferior to this pile of filthy slaves. You can also come to help, uncle is in a good mood today, so I will reward you with a gold coin. ”

"Reward me with gold coins? Ha, that's a thank you. ”

At this time, some NPCs in this small chamber of commerce were snickering, of course they knew Yang Cheng and knew that it was the city lord, but they didn't explain it. But fortunately, there are also honest people, an NPC came over and said something to the merchant, and the merchant looked at Yang Cheng in surprise and said, "You are the city lord?" ”

"Not bad."

"Hmph, I really can't imagine that the city lord is actually mixed with slaves, it's like surrendering his identity!" The merchant did not put on a low posture just because Yang Cheng was the lord of the city, and still had a disdainful look.

His arrogance is not without cause, for any city, commerce is very important, so all the city lords are very polite to merchants. Over time, these businessmen became pampered and arrogant, and no one was in sight.

Moreover, a small city like Yang Cheng needs to rely on them, and he will not take Yang Cheng in his eyes, unless it is a big city lord with developed commerce.

"I see you're mistaken, they're not slaves, they're my friends." Yang Chengdao.

"Friends? Haha, it's a ridiculous joke. The merchant looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "Call a slave a friend, and be willing to be cheap!" ”

The merchant's laughter was so mocking that the ape-men couldn't help but bow their heads when they heard it. They themselves felt that the merchants were not wrong, they were slaves, how could they be friends with the city lord?

However, at the moment when they lowered their heads, they suddenly found that Yang Cheng actually flew up and kicked directly in the face of the merchant, causing the merchant to lie on the ground.

The merchant was only a trader, and he had only two men with him, and the mercenaries were waiting in the tavern, and did not accompany him. So even if Yang Cheng made a move, no one stood up for the businessman.

It's just that this scene is too shocking, and all the NPCs present are stupid, they just look at Yang Cheng blankly, completely speechless.

Especially the ape-man clan, their eyes are very weird, I don't know what kind of love it is, it looks a little complicated.

"Bastard, you dare to hit me?!" The merchant wolf got up, he couldn't imagine that the lord of a small city would dare to do something to him, a merchant.

Yang Cheng said indifferently: "What's the problem?" ”

"I won't just forget it, I will definitely spread the news of the main attack in Garin City, so that no businessman here will dare to come again!" The merchant was angry and corrupt.

"The mouth grows on you, whatever you want. But now, since you are doing business in my territory, then follow my rules and kneel down to my friends and admit your mistakes. ”

The merchant was shocked when he heard this: "What? Did I hear me right, let me kneel down to the slave? ”

"Again, they are not slaves!" Yang Cheng's eyes suddenly became cold, and he said word by word: "If you don't admit your mistake, you don't want to walk out of Garin City today." ”

"You ......"

The merchant trembled with anger, he had never been treated like this.

The NPCs around them didn't dare to breathe, and they also found that this city lord didn't seem to be the same. Even the ape clan who was presented by Yang was very frightened, and Sabu tried his best to muster up the courage and said, "Lord City, I'll forget it......"

"No, I am in charge of my territory, everyone is equal in Garin City, there is no distinction between high and low, if anyone does not abide by it, I don't mind locking him up for ten days and half a month." Yang Cheng said very firmly, and there was absolutely no room for negotiation.

And these words were loud, which shocked the NPCs again. In their minds, there is no such concept at all, so Yang Cheng's seemingly ordinary sentence is not ordinary for them at all.

Especially the ape-man clan who were slaves, as well as the two dwarf clans who were loading goods next to them, all had strange colors flowing in their eyes.

"Good, good!"

The merchant gritted his teeth, and immediately took out a flute from his bosom and whined. Then, I saw two mercenaries coming from the tavern in a menacing manner.

"What, you want to fight with me? Come on. ”

Yang Cheng smiled, put two fingers in his mouth, and whistled. Soon a footstep was heard, and five city guards ran over in order. And when the two mercenaries saw the city guards, they immediately softened, they were not of the same level.

It wasn't just the city guards who came, but some players from Shunjiang also ran over, looking at the scene in front of them curiously.

Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow at the merchant whose momentum had obviously dropped, and then pointed to the ground.

"You'll regret it." Merchant Road.

"That's a story for later."

Yang Cheng forced this Cheng dù, and the merchant had no choice but to grit his teeth and kneel on the ground, apologize reluctantly to the ape-men, and then set up his car and left angrily.

"Lord of the Castle ......"

Sabi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. When the merchant knelt in front of him just now, he had mixed feelings, and he had never felt this way before. And he also understood that Yang Cheng risked offending the merchants and gave them great respect to the ape-people.

They always say that they work for freedom, and freedom is just about escaping the cage? Not necessarily. Escape is only a target, not a subject, and true freedom is the dignity of not being enslaved by others.

Yang Cheng is also very depressed about offending the businessman, and he may pay some price, but he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong. Shouldn't businessmen be respected, but workers shouldn't be respected? In Yang Cheng's view, these apes are doing things for him...... No, it was the worker who helped him, in other words, the representative of industry, and he had to give equal status to both parties.

"Remember, Sabe, that you will no longer be slaves, and that you will no longer call yourself slaves. No one has the right to force you to do anything here, you can rest when you are tired, you can go to the tavern to drink when you are thirsty, and if any boss discriminates against you and sues me, I will drive him out of Garin City even if I lose money. ”

"Also, if you go back to the Gonggong office in the city to register and work for me or for others in the form of employment, you can receive your wages normally."

Yang Cheng said this to Sabi, and at the same time to the NPCs present, he wanted the whole city to know his attitude. Even though this attitude hurts him a lot, and how good a batch of free labor is about to become not free, this form must be sufficient.

But what he didn't expect was that after hearing this, all the ape-people actually knelt directly on one knee.

With tears in his eyes, he said, "City Lord, thank you, thank you!" I know you won't accept it anymore by making us your slaves, but we can't take any wages from you. We cannot repay us for your kindness, please accept our allegiance, we are willing to give your life for you. ”
