Chapter 208: Buying Slaves
Lei Zhe wants to directly replace this knowledge in a stepwise manner, which may be a little troublesome and inefficient, but as long as there is a transformation of knowledge, this plan is feasible.
Of course, it may take twenty years to harvest this group of talents, but it takes twenty years to develop a city, and Lei Zhe has the time to devote his life to the development of Rost.
Naturally, the system adopted by the school cannot be the same as that of the school on Earth, and Rost's children are all very different in age, and at the age of sixteen they have already gone out to work with their parents, and they are also one of Rost's main labor forces.
If it is forcibly recalled, it will definitely reduce Rost's labor force sharply, which makes Lei Zhe very entangled, at the age of sixteen, his brain development has entered the best state, and he can learn everything quickly at this time.
If these people are recalled, it must be to carry out intellectual education plus some political brainwashing education to protect Rost, and this education does not need to be long, just one year is enough.
But can Rost really allow most of the workforce to sit idle for a year? In this case, many of Rost's buildings will have to be suspended, which is what Lei Zhe does not want to see, but he has no other choice.
It is obviously the most appropriate to start with the sixteen-year-old generation, and if the knowledge is irrigated in this generation, at least there will not be too much cultural disconnect between the children and the older generation.
"Stop or stop. He frowned, in fact, if he calculated the last year, he could make up for it with cash, and the lack of people could be filled with slaves.
It may be that this attrition is not worth it for Rost, but Lei Zhe understands the importance of a level of cultural literacy of young people, not to mention that the physical labor of young people cannot catch up with those energetic prime.
"It was decided. Without much thought, the plan was drawn up, and all Rost civilians who had reached the age of eight but were under the age of twenty were to be educated at the Rost School, and the duration of education was set according to age.
Considering that the current residents of Rost basically have no extra income, and the school must be free, Rost has made a lot of money now, and Lei Zhe is also considering adding money to the market when the time comes.
Today's Rost market is maintained by officials or trading circles formed by outsiders, which is not conducive to the development of Rost, and the lords of currency and goods cannot absolutely control it, which still makes some sense.
The school's affairs were officially on the right track three days later, and for the question of honesty, Lei Zhe could only choose the immature "artificial intelligence", of course, he did not choose the kind of high-tech artificial computer that costs a lot of money and has an unknown actual role.
Only a relatively ordinary artificial computer implanted in the nine-year compulsory education was selected, which can teach normally and answer the questions raised by students.
The main role is to assist in the teaching of words, and there is a total of robots, which are mainly used to teach knights with rich brain capacity in a short period of time, and spread knowledge through knights.
These knights have been endowed with magic and can communicate with robots in a very ordinary way.
This kind of thing cannot be rushed, and the population of Rost has already been counted by the time of the identification process, and now there are more than 1,400 people who meet the requirements and need to be educated in schools.
Among them were seven minotaurs, one hundred and six goblins, and there were quite a few aliens, but Reezer had already considered them part of Rost, especially the honest minotaurs.
These little guys may not have a good brain in the future, but after all, they are one of Rost's main laborers, and it is still necessary to cultivate them well, and it is not impossible to get an architect in the future.
This plan still needs to make up for it, and the most convenient way for Reich to replenish Rost's population is of course to buy slaves, and now the price of an able-bodied adult adult male with the ability to work is 6-10 gold coins.
According to the different local markets, the price of slaves will also be different, plus the transportation costs invested in, Lei Zhe wants to buy 2,000 male ** subordinates, plus the transportation costs are almost more than 30,000 gold coins.
Some are not very valuable, and they contacted Weber directly, and as the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, he must have understood this matter, and it is not easy to find two thousand adult male ** subordinates.
With such a large number of goods, it was really difficult to make up for a while.
Even it took three days for Wilbur to get in touch, and Lei Zhe could only wait.
The use of robots is average.,Fortunately, the brain can cover up all the gaps in knowledge.,The brains of these knights are really not covered.,After reading the most basic textbooks, I watched some videos released by the robots and understood the knowledge in the textbooks.。
Originally, the knowledge was not difficult, so it was not too easy to learn, one course a day, which made Lei Zhe who was watching it feel a little happy in his heart, and he was thinking about whether to send all these knights to school, maybe he could train a scientist.
However, he understands that it can only be his fantasy, and that scientists do not have a good memory, that requires wisdom and talent, and even some outstanding abilities in a certain academic field are different from ordinary people's persistence.
Geniuses are crazy, this sentence is not a joke, everyone who can create a legend in their own field is at least a little paranoid, otherwise they would not have reached that state.
Two thousand slaves replied three days later that Weber could indeed get them, but the price needed to be increased, and although Rieger had a human trafficking, he didn't know much about the transaction.
More than 2,000 slaves are already the sum of the population of several villages, and Lei Zhe also knows that there are a lot of people to ask for this time, but there is no way, due to the urgent shortage of labor, and the city needs to develop rapidly, which is also a helpless thing.
The purchasing power of ten gold coins is still very exaggerated, and in the eyes of those slave owners, their slaves are indeed not that valuable, right? After all, a slave who is fortunate enough to work hard for a year may not bring in an income of two gold coins.
If there is any injury, the slave will not be sold at a good price, so it is better to make a profit directly, where to invest in other things, such as lending money to the war, and getting new slaves.
Human intelligence has always been like this...... There will always be a shortage of people on the road to making money.
Two thousand slaves, nearly half the price of which was expected, required a total of 28,000 gold coins, which was not a small amount, and for the old Rost, the annual income was only 8,000 gold coins.
Twenty-eight thousand is already money that many cities can't earn in five years.
