Zhang Zhongjun, who was walking towards the human market, asked the big frog with some curiosity: "Senior brother, I have behaved so high-profile, why is it that none of the officials in the county town have taken care of me?"

"Snort, you stupid, how do you want people to take care of you? Just because you spent hundreds of gold on food in your county town? Just because you bought more than 5,000 crew members in the human market? Please, the quality of the human market has nothing to do with the local government, and your consumption of 100 gold is a fart?! People have a meal of 100 gold! You have a bunch of people who have eaten for several days and spent 100 gold, do you still want the county guard, the county lieutenant, and the county guard to come and visit you?!" The big frog mocked mercilessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Well, I'm not, I mean, I'm a nobleman, even if the local government doesn't come to visit me, at least send someone to say hello and ask me what I'm doing, how can I not exist?" Zhang Zhongjun said with a slight stammer.

"Hehe, as soon as you kid comes, you will go directly to the human market to buy crew members, and hang around with a ticket of guards, and the lord of the official mansion will have a relationship with you if he takes the wrong medicine! I believe that even if you visit them now, they will let the men directly say that they are not at home! The last thing they want to contact is a unscrupulous hereditary aristocrat like you!" the big frog still laughed.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongjun didn't know that he didn't visit the magistrate at the first time, and the fact that he was escorted around with a large ticket seriously affected his image, so that the magistrate classified himself as an unbefriendable existence.

In this regard, Zhang Zhongjun could only pout, but he didn't care, when his fleet was running, with his almost immeasurable wealth, it was enough to buy all the specialties of these three Linhai counties, and when the time came, it was enough to force the local government to realize his power.

After the efforts of the human city in the past few days, almost all the sailors in Guanglong County's inventory were swept away, and finally they were given the template of a ship with fifty people, which was enough for the number of people needed for a hundred ships.

And this time, I asked Zhang Zhongjun to inspect the five thousand people, and the city official led Zhang Zhongjun to the outside of the city, and cautiously probed: "My lord, I don't know if you, the five thousand slaves, want to be branded with a mark of loyalty?"

Zhang Zhongjun is a nobleman, of course he knows what this means, that is, let the monk imprint his own image on the slaves, so that they cannot betray themselves, once they have the idea of betrayal, they will accept the torture of the soul, and as long as they are willing, a thought can make such a slave directly become a vegetative person.

That's right, the slave trade on the Empire side doesn't need to worry about slave rebellion or anything at all, because the monk will imprint the information of the slave owner into the soul of the slave, so that the life and death of the slave are in the hands of the slave owner!

As for such a good method, why didn't the empire use slaves on a large scale?

First of all, social customs do not allow it, and since the empire entered the feudal society, there have been no large-scale slaves, especially this kind of slaves who can control life and death with magic! The culture that has been handed down for thousands of years by the number of people in the empire has made everyone pay attention to benevolence and righteousness. And to drive slaves with this method of controlling the soul is unkind and unjust.

Therefore, the local tyrants and gentry and even the nobles of the empire prefer to use the slave system of the contract system, a paper contract can limit the descendants of the slave from being slaves for generations, as long as the ruling body of the empire is still there, such a contract will be protected, since it is so easy to control a person and his descendants, why use spells to control life and death to threaten?

Moreover, this system is completely legal and reasonable, but the slaves dare to violate it, but it is condemned and reviled by the whole society!

There is also the use of contracts to restrict, far more gentle than the use of spells to restrict, the slaves who are restricted by the contract, have a sense of resignation, will desperately please the master, in order to be liberated, even if they can't be liberated, but also expect their offspring to be liberated and become good citizens.

A single contract makes these slaves think that this is their life, and they will only think about how to work hard to earn and break this contract of sale, and they will never think whether such a contract is reasonable or unreasonable.

And the slave who uses magic to limit life and death, because life and death are not in his own hands at any time, naturally produces a sense of urgency and crisis, and slowly becomes the idea of surrendering and respectful on the surface, and always thinking about how to die with his master in the bottom of his heart! It is entirely because of insecurity that he has produced a kind of rebellious mentality, always thinking about rioting and rebelling, and there are precedents for this.

But these are actually nothing! Because even if you think about rebellion all the time, even if you want to die together, as long as the brand is still there, the slave owner can let you hang up with a single thought!

The main reason why spell-controlled slaves can't be promoted is because it takes mental power for monks to carry out this kind of spiritual imprint!

And branding the spiritual power of the strong is easy to produce backlash, and the monk who casts the spell is directly unlucky. And to brand ordinary people, the entire value of the slave can't make up for the spiritual power consumed by the monk.

Therefore, only local tyrants who are not short of money will let the monks imprint the spirit of loyalty to their slaves.

Hearing such an inquiry from the city officials, Zhang Zhongjun subconsciously wanted to shake his head, because he was really not used to forcibly controlling the life and death of others to serve him.

But the big frog nodded directly to his head, and reminded: "Damn! Don't forget, you kid, most of these crew members you bought are pirates! You will buy ships for them to pilot, and don't imprint them with spirit, are you preparing for a hundred more pirate ships in the waters outside?!"

Zhang Zhongjun immediately woke up, that's right, these crew members he bought were either pirates or pirates, either caught by the imperial navy, or caught and sold by other caravans!

The so-called pirates are the kind of existence that are usually maritime merchants and pirates when they have opportunities, and almost all merchant ships walking on the sea can be regarded as sea bandits.

So if you don't do anything and just buy a boat for them to drive, it will definitely make a hundred more pirate ships in the outer sea in an instant!

Not to mention that your own money is thrown into the water, you will be thought that you are buying a ship and a pirate, in order to disturb the waters of the empire!

So after understanding this, Zhang Zhongjun nodded directly: "I must imprint the spiritual imprint, I don't know how to calculate the cost?"

The city official immediately rubbed his hands and laughed: "I don't know if you plan to brand only the captain and adjutant on the ship's backbone, or the entire staff?"

"Of course, it's the imprint of all the personnel!" Zhang Zhongjun of course wants to do it once and for all.
