Chapter XXIII

The three of them talked for a long time, and Hua Jiahong suddenly asked, "Ming Wei, have you chosen the unmanned administrative star that Your Majesty has given you?" ”

"Of course, I chose the administrative star near Mithland." Fang Mingwei said with a smile: "Old General Hua has already promised me that when I get there, I will definitely destroy all the Frank monsters on the planet and give me a clean planet." ”

The corners of Hua Jiahong's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Of course, the Frank monster is naturally not in the eyes of grandpa." But do you have a plan for how you're going to develop the planet? ”

Fang Mingwei was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet. In fact, it was not that he did not think about it, but he was at a loss at all.

This is not a toy after all, but a planet capable of housing billions of human beings. If Fang Mingwei is allowed to plan and build from scratch, it will be too difficult for him.

Hua Jiahong patted his chest and said, "Ming Wei, although our Hua family is not a famous family in the empire, but we also have a little experience and ability, if you allow it, I want to be the first batch of immigrants to that planet." ”

"Okay." Fang Mingwei was overjoyed, he was worried that he didn't know what to do, Hua Jiahong was able to do this, it was really a charcoal in the snow, so he asked with great interest: "Jiahong, what are you going to do?" ”

"First of all, we must carry out the necessary reclamation and construction of the planet, which requires a lot of labor and materials."

Fang Mingwei nodded slightly, in other words, this is the need for a lot of money. However, although he is much richer than before, his little family fortune is a drop in the bucket compared to the money spent on developing a planet, and he is not embarrassed to mention it at all.

Seeing Fang Mingwei's sad face, Hua Jia Hongqi said, "What's wrong with you?" Isn't my proposal good? ”

"It's not that it's bad, it's that I don't have any money." Fang Mingwei told the truth.

Hua Jiahong smiled and said, "Okay, the money in the early stage of planet development, our Hua family can provide it for free." But if we want to develop it all, it's not enough for us alone. ”

"What then?" A strange term suddenly popped up in Fang Mingwei's mind: "Do you want us to attract investment?" ”

"Although attracting investment is one way, there is a better way."

"What?"

"Loans."

Fang Mingwei pondered for a moment and said, "With such a large amount of money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to borrow it." ”

"It's hard for others to get a loan, but you're different." Hua Jiahong smiled slightly and said, "You might as well apply to the Imperial Central Bank and see if you can get a loan." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Mingwei asked, "What if the loan is really out and you can't pay it back?" ”

"If you don't get it yet, you can't get it back." Hua Jiahong said indifferently: "Anyway, you have military power in hand, and the bank doesn't dare to come to collect the debt." ”

"Really?"

"Really, I promise."

Looking at Hua Jiahong, who was swearing, Fang Mingwei was surprised in his heart, is the country's central bank so easy to talk to? That's a little weird, isn't it?

"Okay, don't think about it so much, let's go buy labor first."

"What? Buying labor? ”

"Yes, developing the planet is a chore, and most people are reluctant to go there, especially some dangerous places, and the only way to do it is to let those slaves work."

Fang Mingwei immediately understood that he wanted to buy slaves.

Although slaves have long been abolished in the system of the Earth Alliance, there are many countries in the vast universe that recognize the existence of slaves.

The universe is too big, there are countless human countries, although most of the human countries get along fairly peacefully, but the internal war has not stopped.

For the sake of territory, for resources, for technology, for all kinds of inexplicable and unclear reasons. There are always many countries that are hostile to each other.

In the event of a war in these countries, they capture a large number of enemy [***] people, and then sell these people as slaves, so to speak, the closer to the place of war, the more slaves there are.

In addition to wars, many people in those imperial countries are reduced to slaves every year for various reasons, including nobles yesterday and slaves today.

For the Newman Empire, it was also a country that allowed slavery to exist, and these people, once bought, undoubtedly held the most dangerous and hardest jobs. For example, in the initial work of developing the planet, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective way for these slaves to do it.

Fang Mingwei only hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Although he was born into a federal state, he did not necessarily appreciate slavery, but he would not have taken the lead in opposing this seemingly inhumane system without affecting his own interests.

What's more, judging from the current situation, using slaves is the most cost-effective method, if Fang Mingwei doesn't use it, it will be a big fool.

After a few people finished discussing, Fang Mingwei took them out of the forest garden.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, a Praetorian Guard major immediately stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Count, where are you going?" ”

Fang Mingwei was furious and said, "Major Lin Tiantian, where am I going, do I have to report to you as well?" ”

"No, don't get me wrong." Lin naturally explained with a smile: "We are responsible for your safety, and we have a responsibility to protect you wherever you plan to go. ”

"No need, I can protect myself."

Lin naturally smiled awkwardly, but he was in front of him and refused to leave.

Fang Mingwei was furious in his heart, and suddenly a fine light flashed in his eyes, the twelfth level spiritual power could already send out strong spiritual fluctuations to attack the enemy. However, in the face of these Praetorian Guards who only obeyed orders, Fang Mingwei couldn't bear to start. Especially when he saw Lin Tiantian with a wry smile and helplessness, Fang Mingwei was even more embarrassed to use force.

Sighing slightly, Fang Mingwei said, "Okay, I'm going to the slave market and pick some slaves." ”

Lin naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't ask Fang Mingwei what he wanted to do when he chose the slave, but said directly: "Lord Earl, please wait a while, and we will set off." ”

"Nope." Fang Mingwei's heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "Major Lin, you let your brothers change their clothes." ”

"What?"

"I don't want to be in groups and attract attention as soon as I go out, so how about you get them to change into their normal clothes and stay away from us?"

Lin naturally thought about it for a while, in fact, he was also worried that if Fang Mingwei was forced to go crazy, he would not be a human being inside and out.

"Well, as the Earl wills, but we must have more than ten brothers to protect us." Lin naturally took a step back and said.

"Okay." Fang Mingwei readily agreed, ten people were still within the acceptable range of him.

After changing clothes and a Volkswagen RV, the group drove towards the slave market.

It's just that Fang Mingwei didn't notice that around the RV he was riding, there were at least more than twenty cars of various types guarding it.

This level of guard power, even His Royal Highness the Prince of the Newman Empire, is nothing more than that.

Soon, the crowd came to the slave market. Under the leadership of Lin Nature, the group walked in generously.

A slave market is a sprawling building with countless small cells, each with a row of electronic devices, that allows tens of thousands of buyers to search the Internet for their favorite slaves at the same time.

Fang Mingwei looked curious, and was about to find an electronic device to check it, but was blocked by Lin Nature, he said softly: "Lord Earl, the slaves outside are all ordinary goods, if you want the best, you can go inside to see it." ”

"Oh?" Fang Mingwei was stunned, thinking to himself that he bought slaves just to develop the planet, did he still need the best? But after glancing at Lin Nature, who looked attentive, it was still difficult to refuse.

Under the leadership of Lin Tiantian, everyone walked towards the most central gate.

Suddenly, several people appeared in front of the gate, they looked at Fang Mingwei and the others coldly, and the person at the head asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Lin naturally frowned, and said angrily: "We are here to pick slaves, get out of the way." ”

Those few people glanced at Lin Tiantian's clothes contemptuously, and then said: "This is a place where only nobles and lords can come, and civilians have no right to enter." ”

Lin was stunned for a moment, looked at the clothes on his body, and then suddenly realized.

It turned out that when they came out, they all changed into a set of civilian clothes, so they were blocked here.

Fang Mingwei looked at Lin Tiantian with an angry face, and then looked at the swagger-like figures in front of him, and for some reason, an uncomfortable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

He smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lin, what do you say now?" ”

Lin naturally said coldly: "Don't worry, my lord, a few blind dog things, let us deal with them." ”

With that, he waved his hand, and three figures rushed out behind him, and threw several punches at lightning speed, instantly knocking the thugs who were blocking the way to the ground.

The hall was suddenly in an uproar, and when the two sides were tense, many eyes were already paying attention. At this moment, seeing that one party suddenly made a move, countless people immediately cheered loudly.

Obviously, fighting here is not a one-day affair, and people here are used to it.
