Zhang Tie stood on the outer wall of the castle and watched as the construction crew operated a rail trailer and pushed a huge steam boiler from the distant material stack to the castle gate, and then the steam boiler was slowly lifted by the rail crane.

Several construction workers of the Changfeng merchant group wearing hard hats used several steel ropes to tie them to the hanging plate to control the balance of the big guy, and at the same time communicated loudly with the person who operated the rail crane on the high platform.

"Slow down, slow down, slightly to the left, right, a little later to the left, okay, keep going up, keep going up, right ......"

After the completion of the main project of the castle, there are still a large number of follow-up projects to be carried out - among them, the most important is the installation and commissioning of the castle's steam power unit and various defensive weapons, as well as the interior and exterior decoration and greening of the castle.

The current castle, although it already has a look, is too ugly, it is completely a concrete lump with no half of beauty, and there are bare cement and all kinds of thick steel components everywhere.

Liu Gong, the person in charge of the construction team of the Changfeng Merchant Group, and another steward of the Changfeng Merchant Group accompanied Zhang Tie to inspect the construction progress of the castle on the wall of the outer fort of the castle.

"Is this steam boiler the main boiler of the castle?" Looking at the big guy who was lifted into the air by the crane, Zhang Tie pointed to the thing and asked.

"Yes, this is the main power boiler of the castle, the output power is 96oo horsepower, this main boiler is usually responsible for the power output of the castle's anti-aircraft weapons and two main ballistas, and it is matched with this. There are also two slightly smaller conventional power boilers, each with an output of 34oo horsepower, which will be used to drive the scattered strike systems and small crossbows that will be installed on the castle! As soon as he heard that Zhang Tie's question involved his own specialty, Liu Gong immediately replied.

Zhang Tie pointed to the tallest defensive arrow tower in the castle, "Is this main power boiler installed under that arrow tower!" ”

"Yes. This main power boiler is installed in the power room of the arrow tower, and the other two boilers are secured in this position and this position......" Liu Gong pointed to two places in the outer and inner forts of the castle.

Zhang Tie thought of the steam boiler explosions he had heard about before, and couldn't help but be slightly worried, in this era, except for the alchemy bombs made by alchemists, steam boilers are the only things that can still explode. However, although the explosion of the steam boiler is amazing, strictly speaking, it is not actually an explosion, but the rapid release process of high-pressure steam energy in a very short period of time is different from the explosion of the alchemy bomb.

But if this thing does explode, it will be enough to make this castle drink a pot. Zhang Tie is the one who has watched this castle be built day by day, although until now, even if he touches the cold, hard and rough concrete walls on the wall of the outer fort, Zhang Tie still has some unreal feelings in his heart, and he still feels a little illusory about the fact that he will soon have a castle, but there is no doubt that Zhang Tie still has a lot of feelings for this castle.

These feelings. In addition to the four or five hundred thousand gold coins that can make ordinary people feel desperate, there are also some other things mixed in.

Because Lan Yunxi has a cloud character in his name, and this place is also called Yunju Mountain, Zhang Tie chose the place where the castle was built here. Also because, owning a castle is a dream that almost every man in this era will have since he was a child, this castle. The future is also the starting point of Zhang Tie's career.

"Will these boilers explode?" Zhang Tie asked seriously.

"Hehe, the kind of boiler you are talking about that will explode is an old-fashioned steam boiler, and this castle uses a relatively complex structure of a new type of water-tube steam boiler, whose thermal efficiency and output pressure are higher than ordinary boilers, and there is also a water level. Temperature, pressure triple automatic protection switch, whether in terms of safety or performance, you can be absolutely assured! Liu Gong swore and patted his chest.

Hearing this, Zhang Tie finally put his mind at ease.

"What we have to consider here now should actually be the issue of the guards and garrisons of this castle!" The European steward of the Changfeng Business Group who accompanied Zhang Tie took over the conversation, "This castle will only take twenty days to complete at most, and after completion, it will be able to produce a full-effect potion here, and it will definitely attract many people to spy here, to support the complete defense and security system of this castle, the guards here also need at least 7o people, this is still on Qianlong Island, if it is on 6, the personnel exchanges are more complicated, as a heavy place, the guards here will be at least doubled, I don't know what you plan?" ”

Zhang Tie groaned slightly, "I don't know what the European steward has to offer?" ”

"The fastest, of course, is to directly hire armed guards, and the Changfeng Merchant Group has the service of hiring armed guards. If you're thinking about long-term exhibition, you can also directly consider recruiting family samurai! ”

"Recruit family samurai!" This construction made Zhang Tie's heart move.

Steward Ou smiled, "To be able to own a castle, such a net worth, you already have the qualifications to recruit family warriors, as long as the conditions are good, there are many free warriors who are actually willing to find a promising family and master to take refuge and eat a stable meal, so it is not difficult to recruit family warriors!" ”

"Just in this case, the loyalty of these newly recruited clan warriors will be a problem!" Zhang Tie said.

"The loyalty of newly recruited family samurai needs to be cultivated, but if you buy slaves and trade slaves directly, as long as you give them hope, loyalty can be easily cultivated."

Since coming to Huaiyuan County, Zhang Tie has heard for the first time that slaves can be bought and sold here, and the term slave trade is quite new.

"Are there still slaves in Huaiyuan County? Also, What is a slave trade? Zhang Tie asked with interest.

"There are no slaves in the entire Jinyun Kingdom, or there is no mechanism for forcing slaves, but Jinyun Kingdom and Huaiyuantang do not prohibit slaves and human trafficking, and there are many countries on the Weiyi Sub-6 that recognize slavery, and there are many countries that recognize slavery on the other 6. The so-called slave trade refers to those who voluntarily give up and sell their personal rights and sell themselves to others as slaves, and those people who are generally present in Huaiyuan County or in Jinyun Kingdom. After all, not everyone in this world can live a nourishing and valuable life, some people even have a problem eating and living, and when they meet such a person, they are willing to sell themselves for a chance to eat and live, this kind of thing you love and I can't care! ”

Listened to this. Zhang Tie was silent, remembering the general history of the human race that he was watching in the past two days, according to the general history of the human race, human beings have actually been priding themselves as the most advanced in technology and civilization before the cataclysm, serfdom has actually always existed, but it has been changed to a nice one. It's just a name that's more confusing.

Before the cataclysm, serfs in human society existed in many countries, and in some so-called democratic countries that practiced apartheid, those serfs did not have any means of production of their own, nor did they have any political rights, and they did not have the right to free movement. There are no property rights, and sometimes even their bodies are not theirs.

They have been confined to work in silence on land that does not belong to them all their lives, and they have endured all the injustices imposed on them all their lives—economic exploitation, political oppression, and personality discrimination, and sometimes, in the face of a bulldozer driven by a powerful machine of violence, their dignity in life and property is inferior to that of a dog. According to the prices of this era, there were serfs in some countries of that era after being killed and taken their lives at will. The compensation that their families can receive is only about twenty to thirty gold coins. At that time, the price of many expensive dog breeds had reached thousands of gold coins, and dogs with hundreds of gold coins abounded.

Think of the existence of slavery in various disguises before the cataclysm, then. It is not surprising that there is one in this era.

Zhang Tie was relieved all of a sudden, and felt that reading more books could really broaden his horizons.

"This ...... Is there such a thing in Huaiyuan Hall? ”

"That's a joke, if the descendants of Huaiyuantang are all sold slaves, they can sell themselves, then what do you want the Zongren Pavilion to do, what do you want the family to do, as the descendants of Huaiyuantang, the most poor, the family also has a help, otherwise, if you want to work, there is not much problem in finding a job to make a living in the relationship of the family, this kind of willing to take the initiative to be a slave has strict management in all Chinese countries, the kind of slave trafficking from the big family and the big surname, there is no zài at all, and no one dares to buy this kind of person!"

"Where can I buy slaves and slaves in Huaiyuan County?"

"Huaiyuan County's largest ** Yi market is in Stargazing City, and it is also managed by the family, the price of ordinary slaves and human slaves is about 5o gold coins, children are cheaper, beautiful women and skilled men are more expensive, and the price of slave warriors above level 6 is generally above 6oo gold coins." The European steward explained.

"Are there many slaves and slave traders in Huaiyuan Hall?"

"Hehe, there are basically a few rich people

Zhang Tie's heart was turned around, and he made a decision all of a sudden, he smiled, "Since the Changfeng Merchant Group has ready-made armed guards to provide, then it is good to hire eighty guards first, and let the castle run first, all of them are from Huaiyuan Hall, so that you can rest assured, when I have time, I will go to Yunzhou City to have a look!" ”

Steward Ou also smiled, "Since you want to hire the armed escorts of the Changfeng Business Group, then I'll bring the agreement tomorrow and let you take a look at it first!" ”

"Is it expensive?"

"It may be expensive for others, but for you, it's a little drizzle!" Steward Ou said.

Zhang Tie laughed, enjoying this compliment, he now that as long as a man has money, he can gain more respect.

It's really nice to be rich!

In the next half an hour, Zhang Tie walked around the castle with great interest, looked at the construction progress of the castle, especially stared at the various pipes laid in the castle and prepared to connect several steam power units, and finally came to Black Dragon Town with satisfaction, ready to go down to the island dragon cave to condense the seventh-level battle qi totem of the hundred-legged centipede.

Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, and the gift given to Lan Yunxi two days ago was not thrown out of Fengqi Pavilion by Lan Yunxi, which made Zhang Tie very happy and felt that his life had come to this moment. Love and career have begun to go in a good direction, more and more prosperous, just went to his own castle to take a look, Zhang Tie is also in a good mood today......

The town of Black Dragon is full of people. It was a little more lively than before, Zhang Tie first went to the pharmacy that Yang Yuankang opened in Heilong Town that sold all-effect potions to take a look, and now it was just noon, and the pharmacy was already closed, and there was a sign hanging on the door of the pharmacy - the store had all sold out of the all-effect potions today, and the store would open at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Limited to six sticks, one person is limited to one, please queue up to buy!

Although the sign was hung out, and even the number of full-effect potions that could be sold here tomorrow was clearly written, there were dozens of people queuing up outside the store. Some people simply waited outside with benches and bunks, chatting while waiting.

Seeing Zhang Tie probing his brain at the door of the store, some of the people in line shouted, "Boy, if you want to buy a full-effect potion, go to the back and line up, don't you see so many people waiting here......

"I'll ask. Hasn't it been made clear here that there are only six all-effect potions to be sold here tomorrow, what's the use of you bunches of people queuing up here? Zhang Tie glanced at the long line questioningly.

"Ha, if you don't work tomorrow, there will be the day after tomorrow, if you can't do it the day after tomorrow, there will be a big day after tomorrow, anyway, as long as you line up for three or five days, you can always take your turn, here eight gold coins and a full-effect potion, as long as you buy it, you can sell it with one or two gold coins, we are all ordinary people on the island." If you want to do something else, how can it be so easy to make money! Just stand in line for a few days and earn a gold coin or two! The man in the queue who had just stopped Zhang Tie replied.

"That's it, I heard that this all-in-one potion was made by an elixir master in Qianlong Hall, and people take a little time to prepare a few potions every day, which is enough for us to earn for a year!" A man next to him said.

Master of Pills. When did he become a master of pills, he was a guy who was not even an apprentice in herbal medicine, Zhang Tie secretly felt a little funny, the information in the Qianlong Hall was a little out of shape as soon as it was transmitted outside.

"Tell me again, who do you sell these potions to?"

"Of course the women who came to the island!" The guys in line looked at Zhang Tie one by one with the eyes of an idiot, "Don't you know, although those women who came to the island are very powerful, as long as they talk about the efficacy of this all-effect potion, they are no different from ordinary girls in the family, and their mouths are full of words such as what makes skin whitening and renewal, anti-aging, etc., I met a woman that day, I added three gold coins to a bottle of Manshu Sawa in my hand, and she bought it without blinking an eyelid, and it seems to feel very cheap!" ”

"Then why don't you add a few more gold coins!" The people next to him also regretted it together.

"How did I know that girl was so rich......"

In a lot of discussions about the all-effect medicine scalpers, Zhang Tie left from the door of the store, women, women, how come these women heard things that could make them beautiful and young, one by one, they were like flies seeing rotten eggs, this was the case in Ling Tianyuan, I didn't expect that it would be the same when I came out of Ling Tianyuan, and if it continued like this, the all-effect medicine I made would become a special cosmetics for girls.

Yang Yuankang and the shops they opened are like this, needless to say, Ma Aiyun's situation is not much better, I heard that the store that Ma Aiyun and they found in Lanlong Town has not opened at all, and the first batch of full-effect potions that he took them has already been digested among the girls in Ling Tianyuan. Where else can the medicine flow out?

Zhang Tie estimated that such a situation would not be slightly better until at least a little more than a month later, when the batch of medicinal fermentation brewed by himself was completed.

However, thinking that the things he made were so popular with girls, Zhang Tie was also happy to see it, and was secretly proud, and there would be one more reason to get close to Lan Yunxi in the future.

Leaving the pharmacy here, Zhang Tie casually walked around Black Dragon Town, and his mental power and induction, which was too much of an ordinary person's senses, suddenly appeared abnormal.

Zhang Tie felt that he was being followed...... (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
