Chapter 198: Death Pact

"Lei Shi ......" Ruan Ling looked hesitant, gritted her teeth, screamed at herself, and was a little undecided.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it, there's no need to force yourself. Renault said with retreat, he could see that there was a very serious problem in the rainforest legacy, Ruan Ling was a smart person, but in the rainforest legacy, he had no right to speak, and the one named Tong Lei was more effective in speaking.

"Master Lei, we have been together for hundreds of years, and we are already the fourth generation. You may not know much about the gate, but whoever has the big fist will speak louder and more people will be willing to follow. Ruan Ling said.

"Hmm. "Renault can understand that soldiers are the most direct, and whoever can lead them to victory is a good general. If you are in the army, this concept is no problem at all, but the legacy of the rainforest is no longer the army, they have no logistics supplies, everything has to be done by themselves, and they still do it according to the ideas in the army, no wonder they are almost hungry, they deserve it.

The army, that is, the war machine, needs to be supported by the state, if the military also understands politics and economy, it is good to directly form a military government.

Facts have proved that as long as it is a government under the control of the military, the common people will not have a good life, and such a government will not last long.

"Some of my friends, like me, don't agree with the way of the gate, after all, the Rainforest Legion was gone a hundred years ago, and it is obviously inappropriate to use the methods in the army, but we don't talk much, so we ......" Ruan Ling said helplessly.

"So what?" said Renault, acting like a good listener, cheering her on. It seems that there must be no harvest this time.

However, Renault is also hesitating, taking advantage of the danger of others, there will naturally be benefits, but is such an income worth it?

"So, we want to contribute. Ruan Ling gritted her teeth and said, just now she and Tong Lei had already collapsed, and even made a move, Ruan Ling had few people on her side, and her strength was not successful, so she was beaten hard.

If you don't come out and be a good wife and mother at home, no one will touch a finger of you except your man. Since he admits that he is a disciple of the general and is willing to come forward, there is no distinction between men and women, only the size of a fist.

The logic of the gate is very simple, on the battlefield, can you expect the enemy to look at the face of you as a woman, and be lighter when you go under the knife?

Don't talk nonsense, women go to war, and the result will only be worse than men.

In the regular army of Dachu, female soldiers are not accepted. The situation of the rainforest legacy is different, for the survival of the race, it is no longer enough to rely on strong men alone, those women who have the talent for cultivation and have cultivated martial arts are all incorporated into the team.

"Do you know what it means to contribute?" asked Renault with a smile, he finally waited for those two words.

The problem is that Ruan Ling's dedication is different from the field, it has a strong purpose, or is it forced to choose in desperation, and the loyalty is lower than that of the field.

There's no way, the team is short of people. At present, there are more slaves in the convoy than there are in the convoy, and there are not enough manpower, and it is difficult to realize the next plan.

Leaving Los Angeles is a last resort, Chu Ren must support Jin Cheng in order to seize power, highlighting the importance of Jin Cheng, unless he throws himself to Chu Ren, he must leave Los Angeles.

How good it was when he was in Los Angeles, with the support of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War, there were people to be needed, craftsmen and craftsmen, and even materials were ready-made, and Renault was not short of money, no matter what ideas he had, there were people to help him realize them.

Nanzhang can't do it, there are not many people in Dachu there, and it is divided into countless small forces, coupled with the restrictions of natural conditions, Renault needs to start from scratch.

"Of course we know, we are willing to sign the death contract. Ruan Ling gritted her teeth and said.

There are many kinds of contributions, and when a scholar has achieved fame, there will be farmers who have made contributions, and even people bring their family property, including land, to their doors, so that they can save taxes.

If a martial artist is successful in cultivation, he can also make contributions, usually to large families, or under the noble family, to earn money and get cultivation resources at the same time. You can also take advantage of the name of the Lord's family to take advantage of your hometown.

If the grandmaster contributes, the grade will be higher, and the nobles have no resources.

Renault is a secret master, and Ruan Ling is only a nine-rank peak martial artist, but in fact, she has no resources to contribute.

The death deed is different, it is equivalent to selling oneself, as long as you sign the death deed, you can't leave the Shengong Temple in this life, let alone this life, and you won't run in the next life. The warriors who signed the death deed, and the children in the future, also belong to the Shengong Temple.

This is equivalent to a house slave, and only those who really can't live, or slaves, will become house slaves.

Of course, there are also advantages to house slaves, if the master's family is strong enough, the status of house slaves will also rise. People often say that the prime minister is in front of the seven officials, which is what it means.

If the relationship with the master's family is particularly close, it is very easy for several generations of domestic slaves to be good, and the children and grandchildren will borrow the power of the master's family to test their fame in the army, and there will be more opportunities than those of poor families.

"Death deed?" Renault looked at Ruan Ling in surprise, this woman's brain is not broken.

"Do you understand what the death deed means?" asked Renault.

Ruan Ling nodded bitterly, thinking of the elders of Rainforest Town, she had no choice. In the minds of the Great Chu people, the rainforest is not much stronger than the prince's lineage, and they can only live in the jungle of Nanzhang and live a day by day.

She doesn't want her family to live this kind of life anymore, she is over thirty years old and unmarried, and she wants to spell out a future for her relatives. It's a pity that the reality is cruel, no matter how hard she tries, her relatives are still living on the verge of starving to death at any time.

In fact, Rainforest starves to death every year, and the difference is only by how much. As for those who died in battle, from the claws of beasts, from disease, from poisonous insects, even more.

The Rainforest Legion, there were more than 200,000 horses and horses, and most of the family members, ten years after the incident, slowly migrated to Rainforest Town, there were hundreds of thousands of people at that time, and now there are less than 30,000.

If this continues, in a few years, Rainforest Town will no longer exist.

"Slavery for life. Ruan Ling said softly.

In fact, what she said was a bit exaggerated, the warriors surrendered, even if they signed a death deed, the master would not be stupid enough to treat them as slaves. On the contrary, they will be treated as kindly as possible, and those who die in the deed will share life and death with the master's family, which is the most trustworthy.

A piece of parchment, will you tie up a warrior to death?

The answer is to see what kind of martial artist the other party is, the earth immortal does not need to be considered, and it is not effective for the grandmaster, and the martial artist below the grandmaster, the effect of a death contract is still full. This is a contract protected by Da Chu, and if it is breached, the government can be asked to come forward and capture and kill the broken warrior.

To put it bluntly, it is better to speak by strength. If the field breaches the contract, the violation will also be violated, unless an earth fairy comes forward. Ruan Ling is different, she dares to break the contract, Renault is a secret master, and there are many grandmasters who are willing to stand up for him and earn the favor of a secret master, which is still quite valuable.

"Have you thought about it?" Renault asked again, the impact of the death contract on the warrior should be quite big, if he really signed the death contract, Ruan Ling's credibility would be higher than that of Tian Ye.

The field ten steps away was also moved. Jiupin peak martial artist, although there are a lot of Da Chu, it is also a human being, if you are in the army, the lowest is also the leader, and you can be promoted to the military marquis after two years of casual mixing, and it is quite easy for the Jiupin martial artist to lead a thousand people.

It can be said that the Jiupin martial artist has already touched the threshold of honor, and as soon as the opportunity comes, he will immediately change from a commoner to a nobleman.

"After thinking about it, my friends and I are willing to sign the death deed. Ruan Ling made up her mind and no longer hesitated.

"And your friends, can you make decisions for them?" The person who signed the death deed did not refer to Ruan Ling alone.

"Yes, there are about a hundred people, twenty-six warriors, and the rest are all young and strong, who can afford to hold swords and halberds, and have seen blood. Ruan Ling said.

A little interesting, Renault looked at Ruan Ling and asked, "Is it conditional?" ”

"Yes. Ruan Ling simply admitted, who would sell themselves into slavery without conditions?

Men are better, at most they are cattle and horses, and women have signed a death contract, don't care if you are a warrior or not, the master wants you to accompany the bed, do you resist? Not only are there conditions, but Ruan Ling's conditions are quite harsh.

Every year, 100,000 stone grains can be sent to the vicinity of Nanzhang Mansion, and when the time comes, Ruan Ling will send a message and ask someone to send someone to pick it up in Rainforest Town.

100,000 stones? Renault was taken aback, this is too much. Da Chu is one stone and one hundred catties, which is five thousand tons, and it is every year. Renault looked Ruan Ling up and down, wanting to understand why she was so valuable?

Earthlings are accustomed to the unit of thousand tons, ten thousand tons, in fact, the ton is already a large unit of weight. An ordinary maglev transport truck can carry 60 tons in one container, and 5,000 tons can be loaded in more than 80 containers.

Of course, the grain referred to by the Great Chu people is usually shelled, and if it is shelled, there will be seven percent left. The problem is that the people of Da Chu will not be so extravagant, the shells are mixed in the rice, and they will all eat them together. Only the nobles will eat refined grains.

In fact, 100,000 stone of grain, if it is exchanged for gold coins, Renault really doesn't care, the problem is that food is in Dachu, not only a necessity for people's livelihood, but also a strategic material, and it is very troublesome to buy it in large quantities.

Thinking about the traffic conditions in the ghost place of Nanzhang, Renault would not agree anyway, just kidding. As for the pack cart modified by Renault, one cart can hold 2,000 catties, and it takes 5,000 carts to transport 100,000 stone of grain.

If it was really done, Renault wouldn't have to do anything else all year round, and he would have been thinking about how to transport food all day long.

Of course, it's not impossible, Nanzhang Mansion is not far from the sea, if you take the sea route, you only need to walk more than a thousand miles on the land route.

But Renault now has no boats and no people.

"100,000 stone is impossible, I will give you two choices, 10,000 stone of grain or meat, or gold coins worth 20,000 stone of grain. "Well, Renault understands. Ruan Ling's price is sky-high, and Renault's price is more reliable.

10,000 stone of grain, plus trying to figure out a way by yourself, is enough to feed tens of thousands of people.

"Fifty thousand stone grain, or one hundred thousand stone of grain. Ruan Ling said firmly, 10,000 stones is too little, not enough at all.
