Zhang Feng wanted to knock Caroline's little head.

Red Leaf City is so poor, even if he raises taxes, he can collect money!

Besides, he didn't do a hammer deal and collected taxes, but he would definitely not do such a thing as losing the hearts of the people.

"Okay, I've pretty much figured out the situation, I'll figure it out, but I'm a little curious, why are you sure I have a way?"

Through the conversation, Zhang Feng no longer had hope for these natives, and he still had to do it himself.

"Because you bought Red Leaf City, if you don't prepare in advance, as a shrewd nobleman, you won't spend money in vain."

Caroline's blue eyes shone with wisdom.

The corners of Zhang Feng's mouth twitched, he didn't think so much about it when he bought it, he was just simply rich.

"I haven't learned much about Red Leaf City, I'm going to go shopping, do you want to go together?"

Zhang Feng stood up and asked.

"Of course."

Opening the door, Knight Marlowe stood straight outside.

Zhang Feng actually wanted to study Marlowe's shiny knight armor, which looked so cool. But after all, he didn't know it well, he was too embarrassed to speak, and it would feel a little weird if he was ordered to take off his armor as the city lord.

The two soldiers opened the way, the Marlowe knight followed closely, Caroline was half a step behind Zhang Feng, and the group swaggered around Red Leaf City.

Today's Red Leaf City is obviously very different from when Zhang Feng came, the market area is empty, there are almost no people, and the small traders who used to set up stalls are gone, only three or two kittens remain.

Ollie on the street is much less, and in the case of someone opening the road, as long as you don't run around, you don't have to worry about stepping on a mine.

Zhang Feng knew that it was not the quality of these people that had improved, but that there were fewer people and less excrement.

The one that impressed Zhang Feng and was known as the largest Red Leaf Hotel in Red Leaf City had already been empty.

This is the case for almost the entire business district.

"Huh? What is this for, there are still quite a few people? ”

Zhang Feng suddenly found that there were still many people staying on the northern edge of the business area.

However, before he walked here, Zhang Feng smelled an indescribable odor, which made him a little unable to open his eyes.

Is this Nima going to the toilet?

"My lord, these are places where livestock and slave traders gather."

A muffled voice came from the helmet of the knight of Marlowe.

"Slaves? Are there still slaves in our city? ”

Zhang Feng was a little surprised.

Slaves are the lowest level of human beings in this world, and even many people do not regard slaves as human beings, because slaves do not have any rights, their bodies do not belong to them, and the masters can torture, humiliate and even kill them at will, and the things produced by slaves, including their children, are also owned by the masters.

In Zhang Feng's opinion, Red Leaf City is very poor, everyone doesn't have much money, and there is a market for slave trafficking here?

"Yes, we have quite a few slaves in our city. These slave traders are very troublesome to transport slaves, many slaves will die on the way, so they don't want to leave, slaves can't stand the toss, but if Momiji City can't solve the trouble before winter comes, it is estimated that they will leave these slaves and drive alone. ”

The arrival of Zhang Feng and the others immediately made the eyes of these slave merchants light up, they were like cats that smelled fishy, and they trotted to Zhang Feng's side one by one with anticipation.

"Honorable Castle Lord, please allow me to show my respect for you by kissing your shoes."

Seeing these stinking slave traders lying at their feet, they even wanted to move their mouths, Zhang Feng was disgusted, and quickly retreated two steps, Marlowe was also very colorful, and immediately stepped forward, the knight's sword was unsheathed, and the cold light on the sword body made the slave trader's careful thinking calm down a lot.

"How many slaves do you have left unsold?"

Zhang Feng asked while covering his nose.

"Back to the city lord, all of us combined, there are probably more than a hundred slaves in our hands."

"So much!"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised, now the entire Red Leaf City still doesn't know if there are a thousand people, they still have more than a hundred slaves.

"Didn't you count the slaves when you counted them?"

Zhang Feng turned back to Caroline and asked.

"These slaves are the personal belongings of the slave traders, and they are responsible for the food of these slaves, so we will naturally not count them."

Caroline explained in a whisper.

"And what will you do with these slaves if they finally give up and leave on their own?"

Zhang Feng asked a tricky question.

"Huh? I ......"

Caroline was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. The Marlowe knight who was blocking in front also heard Zhang Feng's words, and his eyes were a little pensive.

Although she didn't say it, under the influence of the feudal system for many years, in her heart, slaves were probably not human.

If Zhang Feng didn't ask, she would naturally ignore the problem of slave survival.

But as soon as Zhang Feng asked, she felt that it was a bit too cruel to let the slaves fend for themselves, but this was the fate of the slaves, and the master gave up on them, which meant their death......

For a moment, Caroline fell into self-entanglement and doubt.

Zhang Feng snickered a little when he saw this, he did it on purpose.

He doesn't want to change these rules of the other world now, and he can't change them, because he has a vested interest.

But people's thoughts can jump out first, if Zhang Feng wants to run Red Leaf City, there will definitely be a lot of modern people's methods, if they are still the old-fashioned thinking before, for Zhang Feng, it may be half the effort.

Zhang Feng ignored her and asked the slave trader directly.

"What is the price of these slaves?"

If a city wants to develop, the most inseparable thing is people, and Zhang Feng never dislikes many people.

"Ahh Dear Lord of the City, if you were to buy these slaves, I would like to sell them to you for fifty copper coins each! Normally, this slave could be sold for a silver coin! ”

Fifty copper coins are half a silver coin, Zhang Feng glanced at the Marlowe Knight, and the Marlowe Knight immediately gave him a positive look, indicating that the price was no problem.

"Okay, I'll take it all."

"Huh? You want it all? ”

The slave traders were a little incredulous, what was the current situation in Red Leaf City, they couldn't be clearer, the city lord actually had spare money to buy so many slaves, they didn't expect it, and even they were worried, would the city lord give them a trap, empty gloves white wolf?

"Are you going to buy them all?"

Caroline also came back to her senses at this time, her face was a little complicated, rationally speaking, he didn't want Zhang Feng to buy slaves, but thinking that if Zhang Feng didn't buy them, these slaves would probably die in a few days, and she couldn't bear it.

"As fellow human beings, I don't want to see them die in front of me."

Zhang Feng directly took out a gold coin and tossed it gently, and the eyes of those slave traders moved up and down with the gold coin.

"One gold coin, all slaves belong to me, is there a problem?"

"No, no! No questions asked! ”

"Long live the lord of the castle!"

"Thank you Lord for your generosity!"

All the slave traders were excited, and although 50 copper coins were below the market price, they could still make some money, which was much more cost-effective than they expected, leaving these slaves behind!

"Bring people out first, I'm sure there's no problem, the gold is yours."
