Slaves are commodities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info's net worth and life belong to the owner, and even if he kills it, there will be no consequences.

This is the law of the ancient dynasty.

After Zhang Biao showed his strength, Fang Xiaobao warned sharply. A group of northern slaves all looked frightened, and squatted on the ground obediently, not daring to make any more transgressions.

The deterrent effect has already been received.

Fang Xiaobao was very satisfied. Subsequently, he took matters into his own hands and opened the shackles for the northern slaves present.

"Lao Tzu is going to work, this thing...... Stay in the way! ”

Fang Xiaobao was not afraid of slaves escaping. Just now, he had made the punishment rules very clear, one person fled, and ten people sat together.

Heavy rewards and heavy punishments, grace and power, strict rules!

This twelve-character imperial proverb, Fang Xiaobao has seen it from books, and it is quite effective to deal with this group of barbarian slaves at this moment.

The new owner unshackles with his own hands.

Obviously, Fang Xiaobao's move was much more than the barbarian slaves expected. Every day, I don't have enough to eat, I don't have warm clothes, and I work in heavy shackles. As you can imagine, their lives are difficult and miserable.

Get rid of the shackles. Although I can't be free, I feel a little bit of freedom, both physically and mentally.

As the name suggests, the barbarian is savage and unruly. But it's not unreasonable, or I don't know what to do.

Many barbarian slaves, after the shackles were untied, stroked Fang Xiaobao's chest.

"This is the etiquette of the barbarians to express their inner gratitude!"

In the rear, Zhang Long has a lot of knowledge and introduces Zhao Hu and his brother Zhang Biao.

"Ah Long, why do you say Xiaobao is so good to these barbarian slaves? I don't know what to think! Zhao Hu shook his head. was quite incomprehensible about Fang Xiaobao's behavior.

Zhang Long pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The way of employing people, force is driven by force, and strong oppression is not advisable. ”

"So, our little brother is still well versed in employing people?" Zhao Hu's face was full of surprise after hearing this.

Zhang Long smiled but did not say anything. Since getting along, he has long found that this little brother is not simple, seemingly cunning, but there is no lack of true temperament. Born in the market, but there is no narrow vision of a gangster.

The most important thing is that he is calm and can deal with it calmly. This aspect is enough to witness from the wolves encountered in Mantou Mountain.

Have good luck, have a true temperament, know how to use people, and know business strategies. In Zhang Long's view, this little brother is definitely not a thing in the pool. Because of this, before he left, he entrusted his only brother to the other party's care.

As someone else, Zhang Long was not at ease and reluctant.

It took half an hour. Fang Xiaobao untied all the slave shackles. Then he loudly announced that all the barbarian slaves would take half a day off today, and go back to the barracks to take a bath and rest.

"Dinner in the evening, wine and meat...... Well, even if I, the new owner, take over the first benefit of the farm! ”

…………………………………………

Night.

The moonlight sprinkled down and enveloped the entire mountain, like a layer of silver frost.

Bonfires are lit. Four large iron pots are set up.

The two pots are filled with meat, accompanied by sweet potato leaves, and the soup is boiled over a blazing wood fire, making a 'coo' sound. The enticing aroma of meat fills the air.

The remaining two pots are steamed and cooked. There are three or four cooks busy cooking food.

Around. A barbarian slave holds a bowl and chopsticks in his hand, habitually squatting on the ground. Smelling the smell of meat wafting in, as well as the fragrance of noodles emitted by steamed buns, their eyes are shining, and they look salivating.

The new owners are nice!

Words count. They were given half a day off, and they had extra meals in the evening. Two taels of wine and three taels of meat per person. The steamed buns are full.

This is unimaginable for a barbarian slave. You know, they only have two meals a day on weekdays. Not to mention eating well, it is impossible to eat full.

Now that I have a new owner, I have wine and meat for the first meal, and the steamed buns are enough. This benefit package...... There's nothing to say.

Not only them, but under the red danguo tree, the four black mastiffs also had a meal tonight.

Four large basins of half-cooked meat and bones. The black mastiffs feasted and feasted very happily, wagging their tails with joy.

Improving food outside. Inside the villa, there is also a table full of delicious food.

The farmstead is in stock. Wine, meat, food and other daily necessities are worth nearly 10,000 gold yuan. The former owner, Sir Wei, didn't take it at all, and kept it all.

Afternoon.

After Gao Dejin brought people over and cooperated with Fang Xiaobao to count, he estimated that the existing grain and meat in the farm were enough for half a month's consumption.

Of course, this was in the case of harsh treatment of barbarian slaves. If you count more than a hundred barbarian slaves, not to mention the food, the meat is only enough for one meal.

Fang Xiaobao said that he would add food, of course he couldn't break his promise, and with a wave of his hand, all the meat was taken out. There are also stocks of wheat grains, carrying more than a dozen bags, all of which are used for dinner at night.

Gao Dejin is very efficient. After returning to the city, in just three or four hours, Fang Xiaobao was filled with the manpower needed to do chores.

Four cooks. Responsible for the eating and drinking of all personnel on the farm, plus cleaning. Three handymen who handle the trivial chores of the farm full-time. There is also a steward, who is responsible for conveying the instructions of Fang Xiaobao, the owner of the farm, as well as going out to purchase and other affairs.

The kitchen lady and handyman are all recruited by Gao Dejin. Status of a homeless person, food and housing, a monthly salary of 20 silver.

As for stewardship, it is a relatively important position. Temporary recruitment can not find a satisfactory one. Therefore, Gao Dejin arranged for his wife and nephew to come over temporarily to help.

After Fang Xiaobao gets started, he will be familiar with the affairs of the farm, and then hire a desirable candidate.

Not to mention, with Lao Gao's help, Fang Xiaobao can save worry and effort.

As for the guards, there is a personal one, Zhang Long's own brother, Zhang Biao, who is as simple as a child and as strong as a thug.

The ordinary guards in charge of the security of the farm's perimeter will only come early tomorrow morning. In order to avoid unforeseen circumstances on the night of the handover, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu stayed.

Tomorrow they will leave for the northern border. Don't go home tonight, stay at the farmstead.

This friendship is not simple.

In order to express his gratitude, Fang Xiaobao fished several bighead carp from the pool on the side of the villa, as well as goldenrod fish, which were worth more than gold, with meat and vegetables, and handed them over to the cook to cook carefully and entertain the guests.

Good wine and good food. Everyone sat around the table and feasted.

Fang Xiaobao, Gao Dejin, Zhang Long, Zhang Biao, Zhao Hu, plus Gao Dejin's wife and nephew Li Rongdong. There were six people in total. But a large table full of dishes is enough for twenty people to eat and drink.

I originally thought it was a bit of a waste, but in order to thank the two big brothers, as well as the partner Gao Dejin, it was nothing.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Biao moved his chopsticks. Fang Xiaobao found that the dishes he prepared tonight were not only not wasted at all, but some were not enough to eat.

A braised bighead crab weighing seven or eight pounds was served by Zhang Biao on a whole plate, and after just two minutes, even the soup was eaten up, and there were no fish bones left.

If it weren't for the fact that he had seen the appearance of the 'good brother' Ah Ghost, Fang Xiaobao would have dropped his jaw in shock.

"Ah Biao, eat less!" Zhang Long was a little embarrassed. He knew best about his own brother's astonishing appetite.

"Brother, don't you say it's enough to eat and drink!" Zhang Biao brought another pot of braised pork over, muttering as he ate it.

Zhang Long was speechless after hearing this. is still Fang Xiaobao, who is very generous at the moment: "Eat!" Brother Biao, you eat with an open stomach, brother promises, you will eat well in the future! ”

"Xiaobao, although you are not born well, your heart is not bad, Brother Biao likes it!"

Zhang Biao gave Fang Xiaobao a thumbs up, and he was very impressed.

Isn't it good? It is estimated that Fang Xiaobao should be said to be thin and short. For the unique praise of this 'rice bucket brother', Fang Xiaobao couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only change the topic and let the cook add dishes by the way.

After a meal.

Even if Fang Xiaobao is generous by nature, it is painful. The reason is very simple, the remaining bighead carp and golden fish in the pool next to the villa, worth thousands of gold yuan, were eaten up in one meal.

Rice bucket!

Seeing Zhang Biao, who was full of food and drink and crossed his legs and picking his teeth, Fang Xiaobao began to think in his heart, tomorrow he had to send someone to the market to buy some low-grade meat back, and high-end goods such as live fish should be provided as little as possible. The reason is very simple, even if he still has tens of thousands of gold yuan on him now, he can't stop this rice bucket brother from eating and drinking!

Dinner is over. The cook serves hot tea that has just been brewed. Everyone sat on the couch and chatted.

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu will leave tomorrow and leave the imperial capital for the northern border. Some specific matters need to be discussed.

Gao Dejin and Fang Xiaobao sat together.

"Xiaobao, I just looked through the accounts...... Truth be told, this farm is not as good as we thought it would be! ”

As a senior executive in charge of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, Gao Dejin certainly has outstanding features. He is very experienced in management, and only then did he look through the account books and have a general understanding of the financial situation of the farm.

The farm covers an area of nearly 300 acres, and 200 acres of wheat fields are planted without removing the fruit forest canals. Wheat is harvested twice a year, with a yield of about 600 catties per mu and an annual output value of 240,000 catties. According to the highest purchase price in the market, 800 gold yuan per 10,000 catties of wheat, and the total output value is about 20,000 gold yuan.

This is the only stable income of the farm so far!

However, in terms of expenditure, the sweet water irrigation, live fish feeding, personnel expenses, etc., add up to nearly 15,000 gold dollars per month.

The expenses far outweigh the benefits.

"Xiaobao, this farm still has potential, the wheat field is limited, and it is difficult to turn the profit and loss...... Whether you can make money depends on the two aspects of fruit forests and fisheries! ”

This is the final summary given by Gao Dejin.

Fang Xiaobao nodded after hearing this. He began to calculate that the monthly expenses were nearly 15,000 gold yuan, and with the money he had left now, it would be enough to support the normal operation of the farm for three months.

In other words, after three months, the funding chain was broken. Unless someone is willing to inject capital, it will never be able to operate.

Therefore, it is necessary to produce benefits within three months!

In the wheat fields, the wheat has not been planted for a long time, and it will take at least four or five months to harvest. If you want to make a profit, as Gao Dejin said, you must start from the two aspects of fruit forest and fishery.

However, if you want to make a big profit in a short period of time...... Thinking of this, Fang Xiaobao unconsciously turned his head to look out the window.

It's past eight o'clock in the evening.

The night was deep, and the soft moonlight was shining. The two red danguo trees planted outside the villa have their shadows swaying, and their branches and leaves sway in the wind, making a 'rustling' sound from time to time.

Seeing it in his eyes, the corners of Fang Xiaobao's mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
