The man, who was also emaciated, squeezed out of the crowd, and Colmar gave the knight in front of him a look, and the man was placed directly in front of Reizer.

"Bread!"

"The answer to my question will naturally be given to you. ”

"Just ask. ”

Grunt!

Glancing at the other party's belly, Lei Zhe suspected that the other party hadn't eaten for several days, and this kind of situation could be seen in almost every townsman in Shining Gold Town.

"Are there nobles here?"

The thin man's eyes showed a hint of unnaturalness, and after dodging for a while, he said, "No." ”

"Tell the truth!"

"I've already answered your question, what about bread!"

"Colmar, break one of his legs. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Yes!

With a scream, Colmar moved his hand almost the moment Lei Zhe gave the order, he had seen a lot of this kind of refugee when he was a mercenary, and the whole atmosphere revealed by Shining Gold Town made him very uncomfortable.

It was killing intent and greed, exactly the same smell as the smell emanating from those ferocious demonic beasts, except that this group of people didn't have great strength.

"You ......"

"Answer my question honestly, or I can't guarantee that your neck won't snap next time. A sneer appeared on the corner of Lei Zhe's mouth.

The thin man hugged his broken leg with an ugly face, and the pain made his forehead sweat cold.

Seeing the previous example, he naturally wanted to use Lei Zhe's kindness to get some food, but his abacus obviously failed.

"Are there nobles here?"

Gritting his teeth, the somewhat thin man replied a little weakly, "Yes." ”

The bread fell directly on his face and rolled down to the ground full of mud and sand, and the thin man's originally ugly face saw that the bread did not hesitate to pick it up and began to gobble it up, completely ignoring the mud and sand sticking to it.

"What about the nobles?"

"Dead, all dead, killed by these people. The man answered Lei Zhe's question as he ate.

"Who?"

"Who else, of course, are these hungry wolf-like crumbs. ”

"Nobles, you dare to kill?" Lei Zhe was stunned.

"What bullshit aristocrats! There isn't much food here, and they still want to take all the food, how can we live if we don't kill them?"

"I've answered several of your questions, bread. He licked the corners of his mouth, and although the pain in his legs made him shiver all over, the feeling of food filling his stomach made him a little unable to control his behavior.

"Don't want your other leg anymore?" Colmar's slightly murderous look made the thin man obediently close his mouth.

Glancing at the hungry eyes around him, Lei Zhe fell into deep thought, he didn't expect to encounter this situation, but it was in the empire, and the territory was on the same border as Rost, who would have thought that this group of people would be so poor that they couldn't even eat food?

This time, the number of gold coin belts was a bit large, and the food was naturally relatively reduced, and the number of slave knights brought by Lei Zhe added up to more than a hundred, as well as those craftsmen and craftsmen's families, the total number was even close to two hundred.

The food would last for a week at most, and if you had to take care of the hundreds of townspeople gathered in front of you, the food would be eaten in less than three days.

"What do you usually eat?"

"Hehe, some eat and eat, if you don't have to eat, you go up the mountain to hunt, if you are lucky, you can come down with a full stomach, and if you are unlucky, you will die on it, but the people who go up have never seen those who can come down, no matter how bad it is, there is still those grasses, and the livestock can eat it, we can naturally eat it." ”

"Does it make sense to live like this?"

The thin man was silent, his eyes were a little confused, and he opened his mouth: "The empire doesn't care about this side, originally we could still be self-sufficient by relying on fishing, but that group of fishmen has already come up from Trenrat, if it weren't for the environment not suitable for them, I'm afraid you won't be able to see these last few towns." ”

"Where are the fishmen?"

"By the sea, most of the human beings in Turku have been taken by them as slaves, if they can't go too far from the sea, I'm afraid we will all become slaves, to be honest, if you eat, in fact, it's not impossible to be slaves of the fishmen. There was a hint of madness on the thin man's face.

"Adolf, give them a loaf of bread. ”

"Your Excellency...... This, we didn't bring much food......"

"I know, give them a piece of bread. ”

"This ...... I know. Adolf was silent for a moment, nodding his head.

Set up a table, took out a thick stack of papers, and placed it directly on the table, and shouted loudly with a light voice: "As long as you sign this slave contract, you can get a piece of bread!"

"I'll sign it!"

"I'm going to sign it too!"

The temptation of food is still very great, and it directly makes this group of townspeople lose their minds, and it doesn't matter to them whether they are free or not, if they can exchange freedom for a piece of bread, they will definitely earn it.

"Your Excellency, you want to take these slaves?" Colmar frowned.

"Why don't you take it, prepare the soldering iron, and put the mark of the Wells family on them, even if they regret it later, I have to have a proof that it is not. Lei Zhe smiled, slaves are a good thing.

Lei Zhe now has land, these cheap labor will definitely be needed in the future, the first thing he needs to do now is to find a suitable place to set up camp, and slowly restore the economy of Turku, when people have food to eat, they will naturally have something to do.

Once they return to normal civilians, it can be a hassle to turn civilians into their slaves at that time.

If he uses force to get to the empire, it will be enough for him to intervene if someone has a heart, and now he is not treated by the king and the lord, and if the king is ruthless, he can't cry if he has tears.

Lei Zhe felt pain when he looked at the branding, but these people screamed for a while as if they were fine, and then directly gnawed the bread, which shows that the suffering suffered before this is not at all comparable to the punishment of the brand.

When another person who wanted to get a new bread was driven away, almost all the civilians in Shining Gold became slaves of the Wells family, more than 370 in all, a lot of them, and Adolf's heart was about to burst when the bread was distributed.

"A team of five, Colmar, you ask them to take a closer look at the terrain around here, and then make a sketch. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

After a busy afternoon, Rezhe did not plan to settle down in the town of Shanjin, Turku's resources are currently seen in the fishing industry, and the fishing industry can only be developed near the coast of Trenla, and Ditea is separated by a large mountain range, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to hike there.

If he could, he would like to investigate whether there are any minerals in the mountains, anyway, the land is his, as long as he digs up valuable mines, he will get rich, Turku is poor like this because there is no one to manage it, if it develops like Rivadeselia and builds airships to land towers, there will naturally be no fewer people at that time.

Of course, that will be a year or even a few years later, and it is imperative that the security problem in Turku be solved first.
