Section 369 Alternative plastic surgery

Jinju Island currently has a population of more than 20,000, far more than the planned capacity. This was due to the large number of prisoners taken during the war against the Deer and Tiger Clans, and the consequent expansion of the development plan for the northern part of the continent and the islands.

In addition, there are more than 3,000 white people on the island.

Elizabeth was a faithful executor of the Tianhao plan. She controls six slave traders like Yugao. The circle and scale of human trade has multiplied over the past year, creating a form of commerce that exists entirely underground.

Capture of people from slums has long been a common method in particular Gao. He was paid a lot of money through this business. However, Elizabeth became more and more demanding, and she became a super customer that Yugao had to look up to. Dozens or hundreds of slave trades could not satisfy her appetite at all, and now the number of slaves traded at least two thousand per transaction was at least two thousand. Of course, the interval is not as short as it used to be, and now it is at least once every four months to trade.

Even a ruthless nasty embryo like You Gao was frightened by Elizabeth's crazy demand. Men must be young and strong, women must be young and beautiful, and the age can be appropriately relaxed according to physical condition. Do not want the elderly and sick, and do not want children with disabilities or physical impairments. It is better to have a skill, especially a craftsman in a special industry, who can sell for a high price. For example, the gunsmiths or gunsmiths of the Royal Ordnance Works, glass technicians, pharmacists, doctors, etc., were worth far more than ordinary farmers, and each of them started at fifty gold pounds.

Yugao liked Elizabeth very much.

No, it should be said that it is love.

He knew that there was a gap between himself and the noble countess, and that he would never even be able to call her "Elizabeth" intimately, but only "Your Excellency Elpsor".

On the issue of women, You Gao is very open-minded.

He spent a lot of money and captured hundreds of children. Men and women range in age from six to ten years. As a powerful slave trader, You has a group of "talents" with special skills, the best of which is a cosmetic surgeon.

On this continent, no matter what the country, there is a wide demand for plastic surgery. For example, a circus clown, as long as the corners of the target's mouth are cut open, cut in the direction of the left and right earlobes, filled with cotton and gauze, to prevent the wound from closing, after the injury is healed, as long as the mouth is slightly opened, the huge artificial tears on both sides will open, even if you look serious, or full of sadness, it will make people look like they are laughing.

Despite the majesty of the Holy See, there is still room for astrologers and prophets in the dark corners where the light of the Lord cannot shine. Special items are required to turn around and make ghosts, the most common being the "Three-Eyed Man" and the "Multi-Handed Man". The three-eye procedure is more difficult and belongs to the high-end surgery in the cosmetic industry. This involves cutting the skin on the surgeon's forehead, cutting the skull with a special hacksaw, carving out a walnut-sized hole, and then digging out the eyeballs from the "spare" to implant them and delicately suturing the marginal skin...... The entire procedure must be carefully timed, and the decision to go under the surgery must be made after the procedure is made to determine between the recipient of the eye transplant and the "alternate" person to make sure that there is no rejection between the two parties.

The manufacturing success rate of the "Three-Eyed Man" is about 40 percent. Experienced doctors can increase this probability to 60 percent. As long as they survive the infection period safely, the Three-Eyed Man will survive. But they don't live long, with the longest recorded individual being fifty-two years old.

There are two types of surgery for "multi-handed" people: one is to start the shoulder joint and attach the arm from the "spare". Depending on the situation, the additional arms range from one to three. The procedure is simpler than that of the "Three-Eyed Man", and the steps are also to cut the flesh, pierce the shoulder joint, attach the prepared arm, and fix it with bone bolts. The nervous system must be activated and assisted by massage after surgery, otherwise it will lead to arm necrosis.

The second is to perform surgery from the wrist part with the addition of a finger from the "spare". This type of surgery is relatively simple, but it is much less complex and difficult to repair later. The fee is charged according to the effect of the operation, and how many fingers can move normally. In general, 10 fingers in one hand are more appropriate, but it is not excluded that customers with special needs often ask for 20 or more fingers in one hand for the target of surgery. If the normal surgical access site is not sufficient, the installation will continue along the back of the hand and above the wrist.

According to the texts, the most successful multi-finger man in history was Erasaka, the kingdom of the Lord. Mohammed. He underwent surgery at the age of 11 and lived until he was 67 years old.

Whether it is a three-eyed person or a multi-handed person, their role is to be born into this world as messengers of the gods. Of course, this is the interpretation of astrologers and soothsayers. The Three-Eyed Man has the special ability to see into the future through a crystal ball and see the fog that haunts your body. Black represents death, gray represents disaster, red represents luck, and gold represents wealth...... Some fog can be retained, some must be dispelled.

The special abilities of multi-handers should not be overlooked. They can uncover the tarot cards (draw) for you and interpret fate in subtle language. Don't think that those horribly dense fingers and arms are a decoration, and they are not the useless additions you might imagine a deformed child to have. Use your brain and think about it, the average person only has two arms and ten fingers, so the average person can't control their own destiny. Arms and fingers are very different, they are the spokesmen of the gods, the angels who have fallen to the mortal world, and with them to help you interpret your fate, you can easily gain power and wealth without many detours.

Of course, whether it is to watch the future or interpret fate, there is a fee. The gods are no different from mortals in this respect, and they all love money, especially the golden pound with the crisp sound of bells. Astrologers and soothsayers are the spokesmen of the gods, and although they do not believe in the Holy Lord, and have always been regarded as heretics by the Holy See, they are caught and disposed of one by one, either burned at the stake or stuffed into iron virgins, but this does not prevent them from operating secretly outside the control of the clergy and enjoying life in their own way.

Choosing a few of the hundreds of children to transform into the new "Elizabeth" is a solution that is especially high when you are caught in the whirlpool of love.

He has enough patience to wait and plenty of money to back him up.

Jugao was well aware of his position, and the best way to get closer to Elizabeth was for the slave β€”β€”β€”β€” to give her a sufficient number of slaves on time, so that she could be paid on the one hand, and she could be seen on the other hand, spending hours with the woman who had been thinking about her for hours.

Sitting face to face with her and having an afternoon tea has become a kind of expectation for Yougao.

It has become increasingly difficult to capture new slaves from the slums of Dorset. Although these poor ghosts are of humble status, no one will take their lives or deaths seriously. But no matter what, they are real people after all. It's not a problem to go missing one or two, and it's easy to capture dozens or hundreds. But if there are too many missing people, thousands disappearing at a time, local officials will definitely intervene, and when the time comes, regardless of whether they can cover up the past, they will be targeted by the Imperial police.

A successful slave trader would never make such a low-level mistake.

A successful slave trader must have a variety of sources of "goods".

It was a time when kings and nobles were in charge, and it was also an era when family planning was not implemented. There is a lot of freedom between men and women, and they can be born however they want. As for the upbringing of children after they are born...... Truth be told, a lot of parents are unprepared or even confused.

Fertility rates are high, as are infant mortality rates.

Too many people have led to problems, especially food and land. Despite the two high-yielding crops, corn and potatoes, not all civilians in the Five Kingdoms could eat enough. In order to pay the taxes demanded by the king and the Holy See, they had to sell their hard-earned harvest, leaving only the family with barely enough food. Whether it is corn, wheat, potatoes or rice, the quality is not good. Rice and wheat, in particular, are reluctant to grind at all, and rice and bread are always mixed with a lot of gluten, which is so rough that it is difficult to swallow.

Every year, a considerable number of commoners fled from the noble domains. They reclaimed land in remote mountainous areas and dreamed of finding happiness there. However, no one would let them go, and the bandits and robbers were interested in these targets, and although they could not get a few bucks from the poor ghosts, they could capture the fugitives and sell them to the slave traders in the form of several heads.

There are bandits in the mountains, and there are also pirates on the seashore.

Most of the fishing villages that were attacked were close to the sea, or far from towns. The force of the pirates was terrifying, and they looted the entire fishing village, taking away all men, women and children. When local officials and the army arrived, all that was left was the empty village, which looked like garbage.

Few people know that bandits and pirates are actually backed by slave traders. In the case of Yugao, in the past year, he has expanded his private armyβ€”β€”β€”β€” and the armed forces of bandits operating in the kingdom of God, the Plantagenets, and the Saxons have expanded to 2,000 men, all armed with arquebuses. The sea power has doubled compared to the past, with six clippers and more than 1,300 people. This kind of force is not to say that it is a small-scale fishing village, even if it encounters the small-tonnage ships of the Coast Guard, it can fight, and even if it cannot win, there is no problem in escaping.

Yugao never suspected that Elizabeth had a special purpose in relation to slavery.

The more he came into contact with Countess Elpso, the more he learned about her business. White sugar is the focus of her business, and this sweet thing is not a new thing to the nobles of the Five Kingdoms. But everyone agrees that it is a luxury. The Plantagenet Dynasty once tried to grow sugar cane in the southern part of the continent, but was unable to expand due to climate and other factors. Over time, there was a consensus among the aristocracy β€”β€”β€”β€”that sugarcane could only be grown in the overseas tropics, and the finished sugar was brought back to China by the fleet.

The majority of the labor force in the plantation economy was black. They occupy remote areas in the southern part of the continent. The profession of "slave trader" was prevalent in the Five Kingdoms because everyone from the king to the nobility needed cheap labor.

Elizabeth also had a more lucrative business than cane sugar.

You Gao is obsessed with forgetting worries. It opened his eyes to another world. Full of beautiful dreams, the brain is infinitely free, and the sorrow is forgotten in the joy and excitement.

For a while, Yugao stopped thinking about Elizabeth. He could see that beautiful woman in his dreams. Do whatever you want, do whatever you want.

Some things are hard to remember after trying them once. Despite the high price of the powder, Yugao was still willing to pay a fortune to buy it from Elizabeth. Of course, it was an expensive trade, and Forget-Forget powder had been designated as a luxury, and the Elprosos comptoir gave priority to the upper class. But Elizabeth was a good person, and she soon developed a cheap version of the powder that was not so white in color and less pure, but it was cheaper and available exclusively to the general public.

Every slave trade took place at sea. It took only three months for Yugao and Stewart to go from getting to know each other well to calling each other brothers. You Gao likes this way of trading very much, the other party pays the bill very quickly, and never cares, unlike on land, where there are Kingdom Guards who may appear at any time, at sea...... From the initial transaction to the present, Yugao has never seen a single Coast Guard ship.

From the first cooperation to the present, Yu Gao has sold more than 30,000 slaves to Elizabeth. Except for more than 600 designated teenagers, the rest were young and vigorous men and women.

Stuart kept a secret. Every time he received "goods" from Yugao, he would transport the slaves to the "zoo" in Panseong City or to Jeju Island as requested.

For the use of southern whites, that is, slaves, Tianhao has a logical and clear plan. More and more slaves will be involved in the development of all overseas territories, including Jeju Island. They will not undertake technical work, but will mainly be responsible for land reclamation and cash crop cultivation. For example, sugar cane and pineapple, banana and rice.

In the case of Jinju Island, all slaves were kept in captivity in the north. The garrison on the island took the concentration camp as the core, and set up barbed wire and checkpoints around the perimeter. Although the number of slaves increased, it was simple to regulate. The tower is manned 24 hours a day, and any anomalies are killed on the spot. The ports and docks were heavily guarded, and slaves were forbidden to board the ships under any circumstances, and the most they could do was to carry the goods from the place of origin, and the final loading of the ships was handled by the cattle warriors, completely cutting off the opportunity for these guys to steal the ship and escape.

Over the past few months, slaves have died every day on Jinju Island.

They refused to recognize their status as enslaved and fought again and again, by destroying the tools of labor.
