Chapter 339: Suppression of Slaves (5000 Words Chapter)

The two noble knights of Mara City were a little unable to move when they arrived at the West Malaysia Market. 【Reading.com】

Everything here makes them feel extremely fresh.

In particular, the speech and spirit of the locals are unprecedented in the citizens of Mara City. As knights, they see a lot of busy, slow-moving citizens who have no goals. It seems that only knights, cavalrymen, or young children will be full of thirst to work, and the rest will be mediocre.

But in the West Malaysia market, the merchants who are making money, the traders who come and go on both sides of the river, the spear soldiers who want to go further, and the young villagers who go to and from the recruitment office all show a thriving scene.

"Garu, that seems to be your servant." The beautiful boy with some dust on his face suddenly pointed to the middle-aged man who was shopping in front of him and said.

The bearded man glanced at it, and was also surprised, and said, "I'll go and ask." ”

"Wait......" The beautiful boy hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Look at the things he bought, they are all cotton, and the underwear we are wearing now is not cotton?" Can he afford that much himself? ”

The clothing of the western continent is either a plant of the genus Hemp, or a silk fabric spit out by animals, although the softness of the cotton cloth refined by the earth is not as good as silk, but its sweat-absorbing and protective effect still exists, and the price is higher than that of silk fabrics.

When the bearded man named Galu saw it, he couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "Don't he take refuge in Jiangning." Barney, we intercepted him near the ferry......"

"There are heavy guns near the ferry, and no fighting."

"It's a heavy machine gun." Jia Lu corrected, went to get anxious, and said: "Lu Si is a servant of the inner house, if he takes refuge in Jiangning, then ...... That ......"

The beautiful boy Barney smiled strangely and said, "What if the old lady sent him?" ”

"How is that possible?"

"It is said that the cotton cloth here is twice as cheap as in the city, how many uncles and brothers do you have in your family? I don't know how many copper coins I will save. Barney had some money ideas, but he didn't expect that the money saved by buying a few large rolls of cotton cloth would be calculated in terms of snail shells.

Of course, the snail shells are basically not circulated in the West Malaysia market, and even if they do, they are collected to the market management office and all of them are given to Chen Yi to melt.

Hundreds of thousands of tons of material supplies in the West Continent every month, worth hundreds of millions of yuan, Chen Yi is already doing construction with money. Even if Yu Weichao is for himself, he has to try his best to supplement as much as possible.

The bearded man's face was very unsightly, and he didn't speak anymore, and slowly paced down the street. If his family communicates with the people of Jiangning, then Mara City is in danger. As a knight, it hurt him.

"The territory of the Jiangning people is the most eye-catching...... cement floors. After all, Barney is a teenager, and his emotions come and go quickly, and he pulled his beard and said, "Don't worry about your family's Lu Si, it's the same when you go back and ask again." ”

"Okay."

"Their floors seem to be a little different, you look at the holes on the side of the road."

The bearded man paid more attention to the items on the side of the road, and said after a while: "These things seem to be available in Mara City." ”

"The two sons are from Mara City, and our prices are different." It was a local merchant who ran a spice shop.

The beautiful boy asked with interest, "How different is the price?" ”

"Refined salt is better than our well salt, the price is only one-fifth, if it is in Mara City, the price is twice as much, a difference of 10 times."

"So much?"

"Not really." The merchant smiled, but did not continue to persuade, and the two in front of him did not look like people buying spices.

Barney and Garu looked at each other and decided to take a look around the market. Both of them were very interested in iron tools, and those knights' spears, spears, etc., were not expensive, but they didn't bring much money with them.

I was looking at it in a daze, and the sky suddenly darkened.

"It's going to rain. Gotta hurry back. ”

As soon as Barney's words fell, a raindrop the size of a bean fell.

There were shouts in the distance: "Standard Hotel, stay until noon tomorrow, only need a copper coin, and provide breakfast." ”

"Jiangning Hotel, 10 copper coins, great value to enjoy."

"Accompanied by beauties, rainy days and good nights." The last sentence was accompanied by two women with huā branches, who were also similar in appearance to beards, more like muscular orangutans than Barney......

The two of them braved the rain and went to the ordinary Jiangning Hotel.

The boss happily led them to the back. Barney asked, "It's raining so hard that the city is going to be flooded, so why is the market still good?" ”

"There's drainage." The boss is accustomed to pointing to the sucking sewer.

The furnishings are equally stunning, with clean white sèg sheets and soft and hard G mats, a water tank that automatically provides running water, a white porcelain bathroom and flooring...... The capital construction team has not yet carried out experiments on the construction of more than 4 floors, but it is still no problem for them to renovate one or two beautiful hotels.

"A copper coin a day?" The bearded man expressed surprise at this.

"You two can actually live in one, we call it a double room, there are two g ......"

"No need." The bearded man immediately threw two copper coins and said, "Pour us hot water to wash our feet." ”

"There is a ...... in the hot water room" The boss introduced the various equipment in the room very seriously, a month ago, he also asked and learned so. After talking for three minutes, the boss stepped back and smiled, "You two have a good sleep." ”

Early the next morning, the two walked out of the standard hotel in West Malaysia, and after eating free breakfast, they asked the boss: "I heard that Xijiang Water Village bought some slaves, where did they use them?" ”

Barney casually threw a copper coin away.

"The second phase of the West Malaysia Market is there." The boss replied and walked away with a smile.

Barney was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "He didn't even take us there." ”

"Let's go." The bearded man pulled him by the hand and followed the tinkling sound.

On the construction site, the slaves were hard at work.

Even in the 21st century, mechanization cannot completely replace human manual labor, and it is even more common to carry heavy loads. Only the core of the more than 30 natives in Xijiang Water Village know how to drive machinery, and now it is being built everywhere, and it can only be used where it is necessary.

Getting a little closer, the spear sentry pushed the two back, and there happened to be a villager carrying a bull ròu on his back, Barney walked up and asked, "These are the slaves bought by the Jiangning people, right?" ”

The villagers let out a dull "um".

"Are they doing a good job?"

The villagers turned their heads left and right to look at it and whispered, "It's very bitter." ”

"Bitterer than anywhere else?" Barney handed over another copper coin.

"Elsewhere, work starts at dawn and ends when dark, but not here." The villagers picked up the copper coins and continued: "At night, they light a special lamp, yellow sè, and work all night. ”

"Slaves don't rest?"

"It's time for some sleep."

Barney's eyes were happy, if the slaves were also satisfied with the life of Xijiang Water Village, then there would be no hope for Mara City.

The bearded man didn't have much excitement yet. Slaves are slaves, and after the death of the nobles of the Senate, hundreds of slaves were often buried, and compared to these, the Jiangning people at least gave slaves ròu. Perhaps it was to maintain heavy physical labor, of course. In the abundant Mara city-state, ròu food is considered a relatively cheap food.

Barney looked around and asked, "They seem to have built a lot of roads, is there any difference?" ”

"The hard ones are called cement, the soft ones are dirt roads, and the broken stones are called sand and gravel." The villager pointed around and left.

What the two noble knights saw was the result of the work of the capital construction team, which had entered the stage of full-scale construction.

The cement pavement is the highest grade of pavement, from Yuncun to Xijiang Water Village, from Xijiang Water Village to the horse-drawn cart side, with a total length of 45 kilometers, and other roads leading to other city-states have only undergone basic repairs. That is, the construction of the western continent is called the "soft" road.

The so-called "soft" road is the lowest grade of construction pavement, with a design life of 5 years, which is made of local loess tamping.

Ordinary grade roads are gravel pavement, and the debris from a large stone crusher is poured into the excavated roadbed.

Although all road construction is simple except for concrete roads, the manpower required is still astronomical.

At the same time as the two knights were traveling, the second batch of 350 slaves was again replenished to the capital construction group. This is a kind of praise for Snellen, an affirmation of the method of controlling slaves.

The management method similar to that of a prison is actually the management of a small area, similar to the state management model of a tyrant - in fact, no matter what kind of society it is, as long as there is a difference in hierarchy, some people will be satisfied. A society of total dissatisfaction exists, and a society of total satisfaction does not exist. The lower class people will never be satisfied, just like the lower class people in the United States, who earn $8 an hour, will not feel the superiority of capitalism, while the state cadres with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan will make them feel the superiority of socialism. Of course, a good society gives the lower class people the opportunity and possibility to rise, while a bad society completely cuts off this point, but only makes the upper class people more satisfied.

Whether in the slave world or in prisons, if the administrators treat them equally, the slaves and prisoners will target the administrators, and if the non-discrimination method is abolished and the hierarchy is widened, then they will fight over who goes to the toilet first, who sleeps on the most comfortable g, and who eats better.

Since Shi Nengren's experiment, the slaves have entered the era of slave self-management. It's like a Chinese-style prison, where the inmates have their own managers, and the prison guards only need to manage the inmates, which not only reduces the pressure, but also reduces the risk.

Of course, the last point is what Shi Nengren thinks. He also reported to the diamond-shaped chamber.

At this time, Shi Nengren was simply complacent, and he only felt that he was the most powerful person in the entire Western Continent......

Since the second batch of slaves came, he rarely went to Xijiang Water Village. He most often travels from one end of the road to the other in a jeep and observes the work of the groups with different máo towels.

When I came to the construction site of the second phase of the West Malaysia Market, the shelves of the two-storey building had already been erected, and in addition to the hard-working slaves, Bumiputera workers had begun to renovate regularly.

Of the 300 renovation workers planned to be trained by the Capital Construction Unit, only one-fifth of them have been trained, half of which are used in the West Malaysian market. This is the window of Xijiang Water Village.

Shi Nengren easily jumped out of the car, called Wang Bin, an officer of the martial arts hall in the same car, and said with a smile: "Let's go up there and have a look." ”

"We'll just wait outside." Because Wang Bin is a demobilized soldier, although he is a student of the 18th phase of the martial arts hall, he still became the company commander of an indigenous company, commanding one-third of She Lei's subordinate forces, and is responsible for the care of slaves in various places.

Of course, compared to the officers of the inspection team, the natives are vaguely inferior to others, and most of them are experimental in nature. However, Wang Bin believes that the indigenous company is the future development direction, so he took the initiative to take the position. In addition to not liking the way his colleagues looked at him, the second thing he didn't like was the twinkling and hateful gazes of his slaves.

Shi Nengren deliberately wooed Wang Bin, took his arm with a smile, and said, "Go up and come down, and take a look at our new market." ”

Just as he was walking up the stairs and about to reach the second floor, one of the slaves suddenly said loudly in a lingua franca: "I heard that we are going to be sent to the west to cut down trees?" ”

Shi Nengren was covered in a jī spirit, looked at the slave with his neck stalk below, and asked slowly, "Who said that?" ”

"Isn't it? Want us to go to the swamps to the west and cut down trees? "The slave was shirtless, covered in whip marks, and was clearly a thorn. He was not at all afraid of the spearmen around him, and the enemies on the temple battlefield were much more cruel than the second-level soldiers recruited from the villagers.

"The work here is over, and it will definitely be transferred, but not necessarily to the west." Shi Nengren had a bad premonition that the natives of this era believed in miasma and the like, and in fact, the diamond-shaped conference hall also gave a death index, 15, which is not low.

The fear of the slaves was even greater, and one immediately shouted: "They will surely break us up and fill the swamp?" ”

Shi Nengren spun around, but didn't see who was talking.

A chill welled up in his heart.

Today's people bring too little. He looked left and right, Wang Bin and another Tripole indigenous soldier, each carrying an M4 carbine, but perhaps only two magazines. There was a platoon of soldiers downstairs, but the second-class soldiers only carried spears, and the three-pole soldiers, that is, the squad leader and the deputy squad leader combined, only 6, and three of them were still patrolling the fence between the first and second phases.

There are so many people in the West Malaysia market, if it is really luàn...... Shi Nengren was full of luck and said loudly: "Don't worry, you won't be scattered." ”

"Liar."

"Impossible."

"Swampland, not one in ten"

The non-commissioned officer with an automatic rifle at the fence looked over to this side, and Shi Nengren waved them back. If the slaves broke through the fence and arrived in the West Malaysia market, there was so much to do......

A kilometre further on, it's the ferry crossing to Mara City. As long as they get on the boat and go down the river, they can not only escape the control of the Xijiang Water Village, but even go to other city-states.

Thinking of the collective escape of the slaves and the danger of coercing the merchants, Shi Nengren could no longer stand, and he ordered loudly: "All soldiers, stick to their posts." All slaves, stop and stand on the ground. ”

It was a right and wrong decision.

War slaves in the midst of long-term oppression are not brainless fools, and they include soldiers with combat experience.

At this moment a man yelled: "They are going to kill us." ”

Someone shouted in response: "Kill them."

"We want bread" This is the slave who has been rewarded, in the memory of the dinner of that day.

Those who have never eaten it are even yelling: "We want bread"

Shi Nengren's decision brought the three non-commissioned officers guarding the fence to a halt, but it also reminded the slaves of their ferocity.

And the soldiers scattered among the slaves, while sticking to their posts, are also lonely.

The piles of building materials on the flat ground, the houses that have already been built, give the automatic rifle less room to play.

A volley of steel bars broke the silence and pierced the body of a dazed spearman. The slaves officially began the violence*.

More than 180 slaves, armed with tools or alone, pounced on the nearest soldiers in the water village.

"Shoot" Wang Bin roared, and the M4 carbine in his hand "clicked" and started three consecutive shès, hitting bloody eyes and dirt pits.

Shi Nengren was a little relieved, and began to complain about why he didn't get a gun. The two automatic rifles beside him were condescending and powerful, but the indigenous soldiers who walked around were not so lucky...... Killing red-eyed slaves was desperate, often a simple tool to protect their heads or xiōng breasts, which could consume more than a dozen rounds of 5.56mm small-caliber rifle bullets, and five or six war slaves could kill a tripolar soldier with the cooperation of five or six war slaves, and spear soldiers were the targets of slaughter, and they were also the most hated overseers of slaves......

When the first bullet from the slave shè hit Shi Nengren's feet, Shi Nengren finally understood that the situation was out of control, took out the walkie-talkie with shaking hands, and said to Wang Bin: "Retreat to the house." ”

The second-story commercial building was narrow and sturdy, and no one continued to attack except to kill the red-eyed slaves. Three non-commissioned officers near the fence stopped the slaves' breakthrough with crossfire, but it was impossible to rescue.

The West Malaysia market is full of cries of fear or curiosity.

The beautiful boy Barney suddenly took off his clothes, rolled twice on the ground, rushed to the slaves, and shouted, "We will be free to kill all the slave owners." ”

The bearded man was so helpless that he had to do so.

The slaves spontaneously formed a team, and in addition to the yòu yin, who spoke the same language, Shi Nengren's management model played a huge role.

The news that the West Malaysia market was out of control quickly spread all over Xijiang Water Village.

Yu Weichao was dumbfounded, She Lei was angry, but the red wolf Dai Adi and the outer pavilion officer Sun Ruihe were extremely excited.

"I'm going to teach them a lesson to remember," Dai said viciously.
