Chapter 44: The War to be Won
Is it a choice whether to be a slave for a month or a slave for a lifetime?
Slaves for a month, of course
Suddenly, the resistance of the townspeople faded, and if they resisted, they might be able to regain their freedom, but they could also become slaves for life, on the contrary, as long as they did not resist, they could regain their freedom as long as they were slaves for a month.
"You ......"
A tall rebel stepped forward to resist, and as soon as he stood up, he felt the corners of his clothes be pulled, and when he looked down, he saw that his wife was looking at him with a pleading gaze, and he was stunned, because he could see clearly the words of his wife's lips squirming.
"Please don't go."
Why?
Why did you ask him?
Why did you beg him not to resist?
He doesn't understand, everyone is a free people, why does that man reduce himself to a slave with a word, he is not reconciled, he wants to resist, and there are thousands of people in the town, but there are only about a hundred enemies, he is sure that the resistance will succeed, but why, his wife will beg not to go?
He wanted to move, but he immediately realized that he couldn't move, because those who were squatting reached out and grabbed his footsteps, "Don't resist. ”
"Yes, Anderson, do you want to kill us?"
"Anderson, I'm your brother, you give me back."
Anderson was stunned.
He is obviously a great hero for everyone's good, for everyone not to be enslaved by evil lords, but why are all the people he protects stopping him?
He doesn't understand, he doesn't know why, why is this happening?
Li Chao saw this scene and smiled, what he wanted was this effect, he wanted to take these people away, the purpose was to promote science and technology, because science and technology need talents, no one will research and manufacture science and technology, science and technology will not progress, but where do people come from?
Hiring?
Definitely not.
It's not that he doesn't have money, it's that no one wants to come over, after all, the era in which he is in this era when trains, cars, and planes run everywhere is different, here, horse-drawn carriages are scarce goods, how far can people go with only two legs? For many townspeople, they may not have left the town for the rest of their lives, and it is impossible to get them to move from here to the castle.
Lovers are not only in the East, but also in the West.
Forcing these inhabitants to move out of the town and into the castle, the inhabitants must have been full of grumbling and feeling that they had been forced, but the slave was different, according to the law, the slave was the private property of the master, and the slave had to go wherever the master took the slave.
Li Chao took these slaves to live in the castle for ten days and half a month, and then announced that the slaves would be pardoned and restored to their status as free people, and they would definitely be grateful to Dade.
It's like sending a person to hell, then taking him to heaven, and then telling him that the reason why he was sent to hell is to hone him, and he will definitely be grateful to Dade.
"Congratulations, you've passed my test." Li Chao grinded his teeth and said: "If someone resists just now and you don't stop it, I will reduce all of you to eternal slaves, even your descendants will be my slaves, unless your bloodline is cut off." ”
Slave forever? Unless the bloodline is severed? This is too terrifying, the residents of the town are terrified, the slaves in this world are passed down from generation to generation, the grandfather is a slave, then the father is also a slave, and the son will also be a slave, there is no such thing as redemption, but slaves always have the opportunity to turn themselves into free people, such as being favored by others, such as going to the battlefield to make meritorious contributions, but there is one that does not work, that is, slaves who are cursed by their masters.
Such slaves often have a deep hatred for their masters, and it is impossible for them to turn them into freemen unless their blood is severed.
"But ......." Li Chao's voice changed, "I am very satisfied with your performance, you have stopped those sinners who are trying to lead you into the abyss. ”
The tall rebel glared at Li Chao angrily, but Li Chao didn't look at it at all, and said directly: "As a bonus, I will reduce the time you are a slave from one month to half a month, and if you do well in this half month, I can consider making you a free citizen in advance." ”
"Most importantly, if any of you are particularly good, I don't mind making him a nobleman."
Aristocrat!
As soon as this word appeared, the inhabitants of the town were excited.
In this world, the aristocracy is the largest ruling class, there is an insurmountable distance between the freedmen and the nobility, and the canonization of the nobility in various kingdoms is also very stingy, and it is basically wishful thinking to rely on money and their own talents to pry open the door to the nobility.
If you want to become a nobleman, there is only one chance, and that is to fight the battlefield with the great kingdom, and only by making great contributions can you become a nobleman.
And now, there was an opportunity to reach the nobility in front of them, and their whole body and mind were almost swallowed up by that word.
"Is this true? It will really canonize the ...... of the nobility. The mayor's voice was a little astringent and hoarse.
The thought of having the opportunity to become a nobleman made him tremble, not fear, but excitement, even though he knew it would be difficult.
The door of nobility is about to open, and he is willing to make a quixotic charge.
"Of course." Li Chao said expressionlessly: "We were the masters of this land a hundred years ago, but a hundred years ago, our princess Her Royal Highness was cursed by the evil fairy and fell into a deep sleep, while those neighboring countries full of sins were silent and divided our kingdom. ”
"But we didn't die, we just fell asleep, and now ......."
Li Chao's voice was raised, "We have woken up, and we want to regain the land and glory that belong to us, so we need you." ”
Li Chao opened his hand and embraced the sky, "A just war is coming, and we who are righteous will surely win the final victory, as the husband of Princess Tanasha and your king, I allow you to win the title and fief that belongs to you in this victorious war." ”
"We will win!"
"Victory!"
Li Chao's words infected a large number of people, and at the beginning, there were only a few people shouting, and slowly, the sound of 'victory' spread, and finally intertwined into the sound of steel.
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
"Victory!"
