Be quiet!

I couldn't help but smile as I looked at the cheering slaves, but ...... There are a lot of things that must be made clear now, so ...... I tried to silence the slave door.

Soon, all the slaves calmed down, and looked at me with joy one by one, as long as they were not sold, no matter what I asked them to do, no matter how hard the work was, they would not have any complaints, they knew very well that not only they had to work, as long as they were people in this world, as long as they wanted to live, they had to work!

Looking around, I spoke: "As I said earlier, everything has a price, and you are all bought with the money earned by the hard work of the people of Phantom City, so ...... I have no right to give you back your freedom, and ...... The houses you live in now also belong to the Phantom City, and I can't be generous and give them to you in my personal honor!"

This......

All the slaves fell silent in the face of my words, yes...... The city lord is right, their freedom was sold to Phantom City for money, and their house is the property of Phantom City, unless they are fools, otherwise, who will give it to them for nothing?

Looking at the silent expressions of all the slaves, I smiled and shook my head, and continued: "Don't worry, everyone, it's not that I won't give you freedom, but ...... The freedom I have given you is limited, and you have to pay the price for true and complete freedom!"

As I spoke, my expression became serious, and at the same time, I ...... My voice continued: "As long as you work, I will pay you wages according to your work, and these wages are completely at your disposal, and you can spend them as you wish!"

This......

Listening to my words, all the slaves were puzzled, not knowing which one I was doing, one moment saying that the house and freedom could not be given for nothing, and the next moment ...... But they're being paid again!

Looking at the slaves with puzzled faces, I couldn't help but smile, and while laughing, I said: "Don't you understand? Since you have your own salary, you will naturally gradually have your own savings, and with your savings, you can spend money to buy back your freedom, you can also spend money to buy the ownership of the house you live in, and even, after you have money, you can marry a wife, have children, and have offspring, this is all okay, I mean, as long as you are willing to work hard and pay off your debt to Phantom City, then ...... One day, you will be free!"

Wow!

Hearing my words, all the slaves couldn't help but exclaim, this is really amazing, yes...... Since Phantom City bought them with money, then they only need to use money to repay the money, and the real estate in Phantom City, they can also earn money through labor, and then go to buy, with a house, with money, then the wife and children who couldn't think of it before, aren't they all natural things?

Thinking of this, all the slaves cheered again, as long as they were willing to work hard, they believed that it would not be long before they would have precious freedom, and they would have their own home, their own wives and children, all of which seemed like a dream to them.

In the following period, all the slaves began to work hard, and at the same time, I also put the development of waste mines on the agenda, and in order to feed so many people, the mining of waste mines was imperative!

First of all, I set up ten huge smelters in the open area around the exhaust gas mine, and these smelters and blacksmith shops are two in one, and the ore transported from the mine is directly transported to smelt and process, and after being made into finished products, it will be transported to various workshops for processing, and then turned into commodities and sold them.

Tens of thousands of slaves, that is quite a huge force, with the efforts of everyone who forgot to sleep and eat, soon ...... Ten huge smelters were built, and at the same time, the blacksmith shops connected to the smelters were also occupied by slaves who were good at blacksmith work, and they also became the first slaves who could earn wages, and the monthly salary was still very high, 2o gold coins per month, and they only needed to work hard for more than two years before they could be free!

With an example, all the slaves' hearts couldn't help but itch, and took the initiative to ask me to arrange work for them, for a while, everyone's work enthusiasm was completely mobilized, no matter what work I arranged, all the slaves were simply crazy to do, just imagine, tens of thousands of efforts to work crazy hard, what kind of energy it will generate!

From scratch, ...... soon The buildings in front of the abandoned mine are lined up one after another, and at the same time, groups of slaves have taken up their posts and started their work!

In the work of the blacksmith shop day and night, tens of thousands of ore picks were driven out, excited to get the mine picks, 6,000 slaves became an excellent miner, constantly mining a large amount of ore, and transporting it, one by one to the smelt for refining, and then ...... Large pieces of iron, silver, and even a small amount of gold were produced.

Excited!

I was thrilled to see these slaves at work, and the gold they mined alone would be enough to feed the people of the city, not to mention...... The amount of gold is actually only a small part!

Among the minerals produced from the exhaust gas mine, iron accounts for so%. 9 silver accounted for 1o%. 9 gold only accounts for less than i%, but the so-called gathering sand into a tower, gathering less into more, every day there will be a large amount of gold sand smelted out, after purification, almost every day there will be four or five bricks of bricks, you know...... The gold of this world is also the currency in circulation! A gold coin is equivalent to 100 yuan on the earth! The gold produced every day alone is worth millions of dollars.

However, I didn't sell the gold, after all, I still have a lot of money on me, and ...... The hard-skin armor produced by Phantom City can also be inlaid with gold, as a high-grade demon-disgusting metal, the armor inlaid with gold has a strong anti-demon ability!

However, it is worth mentioning that the slaves worked hard, which led to a lot of accidents, and in just a few days, more than a dozen slaves died because of the landslide.

As a man, I can't be too anxious for quick success, I can't build the Phantom City on so many innocent lives, there are many ways to make money, there is no need to exchange human lives for money!

With this idea, I immediately ordered the mining to be stopped, and then ordered the blacksmith to use the backlog of metal to forge huge iron pillars, and then build a mine tunnel supported by steel pillars according to the mines I had seen on Earth before, so that the accident of the collapse would be infinitely reduced, and basically would not occur!

Seeing that I thought about everyone so much, the slaves became more active in their work, because the speed of building the tunnel supported by steel pillars was very slow, so tens of thousands of slaves spontaneously divided into two shifts, and more than 5,000 people worked in the mine 24 hours a day, and for a time, the speed of the construction of the mine doubled! It only took a week for us to successfully build a mine road thousands of meters long and supported by steel pillars, so we ...... The mine resumed mining again, but ...... The two-shift mining system has been retained.

In the end, I divided more than 10,000 slaves into three shifts of 4,000 people, and the working hours were eight hours, and the mining of the mines was uninterrupted.

With the increase in mining speed, it finally ...... Small and small, large and small phantom crystals have appeared, although very few, but almost every day there are discoveries, seeing this, I gradually have confidence in the waste mine, after my painstaking design, finally ...... In the middle of the mine, we built railroad tracks, and the ore mined by the workers only needs to be placed on the mine cart, and there is naturally a strong water rhinoceros rotating the winch on the ground, and the carts of ore are continuously pulled up.

Before owning a minecart, a miner first has to move a kilometer or two in the mine to the mining site, and then mine a basket of ore, and then carry it up with difficulty, and the mining speed is called a slow!

However, after having a minecart, everyone only needs to keep mining, and the mined ore can be poured on the minecart casually, and the work efficiency has been increased by at least ten times, and they no longer have to spend a lot of time transporting ore, nor do they have to consume a lot of physical strength to carry ore!

Crunch...... Crunch...... Crunch......

The crisp sound sounded uninterruptedly outside the mine, six sub-winch, one main winch, under the impetus of the thick water rhinoceros, never stopped rotating, rotating, a cart of ore was pulled up, outside the mine, quickly piled up like a mountain!

All of this was designed by me, the huge main winch, in fact, is the front gear of a bicycle, and those iron chains, the shape of which is exactly the same as the chain of the bicycle, but much thicker and much larger.

On the main winch, six chains of the same thickness stretched out to the surroundings, these chains were connected to six sub-winchs, and these sub-winches fixed on the ground were powered by a huge water rhinoceros, constantly rotating, constantly transmitting huge power to the main winch, driving the minecart, constantly shuttling in the mine.

Around each sub-winch, there are three positions, and there is a huge and thick water rhinoceros pushing on each valence, and the eighteen huge water rhinos are working together, even if there are many minecarts, they still move.

Of course, my design is very reasonable, the gear of the sub-winch is much larger than the main winch, so ...... If the water rhinoceros emits a force of 1000 kilograms, then through the main winch, it will exert several times the power of this, people who have ridden a variable speed bicycle should know that the smaller the diameter of the front teeth of the bicycle, the larger the diameter of the rear teeth, the lighter and faster the car, but the speed has also slowed down, but for the minecart, what to do at such a fast speed?

With the addition of minecarts, the speed of mining is simply incomparable, and the number of people in charge of mining is getting smaller and smaller, and finally ...... Only 1,000 people are needed to go down to mine, and the workload is already ten times that of the original 10,000 people, as for the other 3,000 people per shift, all of them are used to build and strengthen the mine road, and unconsciously, an underground steel castle is slowly being built and developing, and all this is obviously not intentional on our part.

Soon, all the work stabilized, and since all the slaves only had to work eight hours a day, they ...... I had a new idea in my mind.

Don't underestimate these slaves, these guys are all strong, they can be said to be infinitely powerful, after a few discussions with Alanx, the former commander of the Night Legion, finally agreed to help me train them!

Later, I found the blood wolf who used to be the leader of the mercenary group, and this guy was very happy, and immediately agreed to my request and became the martial arts instructor of these slaves, responsible for teaching these slaves basic combat skills!

Subsequently, I didn't let go of Mustafa, although this guy is inferior to the blood wolf in strength, but this guy's defense skills are not comparable to the blood wolf!

Finally, there was Betty, I didn't ask much of her, just let her teach the slaves simple, basic dodging skills, for my request, Betty was very excited, she wished someone would teach her to play.

Thereupon...... The whole Phantom City began to get busy, the work that should be done, the training that should be trained, and no one had any opinions on my arrangement, after all, everyone knew very well that if they wanted freedom and dignity, then they had to defend all this with their own weapons!

Hah, hah, ha......

Looking at the slaves who practiced one move at a time in the martial arts arena, I couldn't help but laugh with relief, Blood Wolf, Mustafa, and Betty, these lazy guys, only taught for a week and then lost interest, no matter how hard I forced, I would never teach again.

In desperation, I selected a few smart and clever guys, let these guys chase the blood wolf and them, and after learning combat skills from them, they will teach them to everyone.

At the beginning, the blood wolves were still hiding, but it didn't take long for them to be entangled, you know, the entanglement of these slaves is first-class, they know very well, if you want to live better, you have to have strength, you didn't have the opportunity to learn before, but now you have the opportunity, so don't learn from the dead.

Finally, the blood wolf and the others were entangled and began to teach some basic combat skills to those guys, and soon ...... They were excited to find that these guys were smart and dexterous, and they could teach basic things as soon as they could, and they could even draw inferences from one another.

In fact, it was just my last move, after all...... I can't force the blood wolf to teach them, everything is about your affection and my willingness, if people don't want to, I will never force them.

Seeing that the guys Blood Wolf and Mustafa were actually interested, I couldn't help but implicitly imply that those four smart and clever guys would learn from these four rookies, and in that case, they would get more guidance.

Actually, I didn't expect the blood wolf to really accept them as apprentices, and there were a lot of jokes, but to my surprise, after pestering for more than half a month, these four guys didn't know what method to use, and they worshipped the blood wolf, Alanx, Mustafa, and Betty as teachers, and several guys actually taught them with their hearts.

Confused, I asked a few guys carefully, and I learned from them that these guys have been practicing fighting spirit since childhood, and the realm of fighting spirit is still very high, but they have never had the matching combat skills, and they don't have any actual combat experience!

These four dexterous slaves are very talented, and they are smart and can understand everything, so they don't feel too tired to teach these guys, but have a sense of accomplishment, which is the reason for accepting apprentices.

After listening to the words of the four rookies, I couldn't help but observe it carefully a few times, and sure enough, ...... As they said, these guys are talented, no worse than us, by mistake, I actually picked up a treasure!

Since there are four, I don't believe that among the more than 10,000 slaves, there are only four of them, and under the careful observation of me and the other four rookies, sure enough...... From tens of thousands of people, we have selected hundreds of very talented warriors, to be honest, such talents, it is really a pity to be used as miners, since they are talents, they should be used properly.

After careful consideration, I gathered these one-in-a-hundred talents together and established the Phantom City Public Security Bureau, which is responsible for maintaining the law and order of Phantom City, and at the same time is responsible for teaching combat skills to other workers!

The headquarters of the Phantom City Public Security Bureau, I was set up in the City Lord's Mansion, and I personally served as the director of the Public Security Bureau, and the four apprentices of the four rookies became the directors of the four sub-bureaus, respectively responsible for the security of the East City, the West City, the South City, and the North City, although for the time being, the so-called Public Security Bureau does not seem to have any role, but I know that with the development of the city, one day, they will play a pivotal role.

With my arrangement, the four rookies are idle again, you know...... These guys are not idle masters, and after a few days of idleness, they are clamoring to go out for a walk!

Seeing a few guys in a panic, my heart moved, and then I ...... I ordered Yoyo to lead the forty holy guards, as well as the four rookies back to Ziwei Valley, and played a forty-on-four battle, for a while, a few guys no longer shouted bored, one by one tired like dead dogs, but...... It can be seen from their happy and excited smiling faces that their harvest is really not ordinary!

Because of the presence of Yoyo, a senior priest, ...... Everyone is almost unscrupulous in fighting, and under the joint attack of the four rookies, the forty holy guards refuse to show weakness at all, but I have to say that under forty against four, the four rookies are called miserable, although they are all very strong, but due to the lack of strong attack output of the mage, it is absolutely impossible to rely only on Alanx, and the overwhelming magic will instantly overwhelm them, even Alanx's long-range shooting has been suppressed

In view of this, after arranging everything in the city, I also came to the Valley of the Holy Guard, and ordered Xiao Qiang to lead the four phantom beasts to join the battle, so that the situation suddenly turned around, and the Holy Guard suddenly collapsed under the terrifying blows of the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger.

In view of this, I kept adjusting the camp of the phantom beast, and finally ...... After assigning Qinglong and White Tiger to the Shengwei side, and Xiaoqiang and Suzaku, as well as Xuanwu to the rookie side, the battle finally became a stalemate.

As for me, I didn't join the battle, leaving Xiao Qiang behind, and the four phantom beasts temporarily resided on the four phantom crystals in Xiao Qiang's body, while I returned to the Phantom City and continued to preside over the operation of the Phantom City!

Of course, I can't be idle, I won't be stupid to just watch everyone's strength fly in, and I will be overtaken by them one by one, every day, I take a lot of time to start studying the intensive soul magic illusion given to me by the master!
