A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and now Zhao Yulong is sitting outside the door reading a book. After a few months of construction, it is not the same place as it once was. What was previously a city with a few villages in the Balita area has now become a bustling area.

There are at least a dozen cities, dozens of towns, and a few villages. In short, almost all the land that can be used here has been used by Zhao Yulong and them.

Nowadays, it has changed a lot, and it basically has a strong oriental feeling. In addition, some of the costumes are also made in the style of the East, so there is already some Oriental flavor here.

Especially the capital Liaoyuan City, I remember that when Zhao Yulong came, it was just a small city. But now it looks extraordinarily prosperous, especially when Yang Zheng, this kid, actually built the center of the city into an Oriental Palace-like residence when he attacked Duke Laika.

This is where you rest, and where you work. Zhao Yulong gave him a name he liked very much, "Denglong Hall", which means to visit Shenlong.

And Meng Liang is also said to be doing well, and letters are often sent over. It's just that he can't get out of it because there are too many things there, so he can't come over by himself now.

However, this Yinhu also believed in Meng Liang's ability, Zhao Yulong just asked for instructions, and he directly agreed, and the most important thing was to make Meng Liang an earl. I guess I want to take the power back into my own hands!

It is not difficult to understand that as a king, the power to speak within this country is not as great as that of a duke, and no one else may be able to endure it.

In short, everything is fine now, but Zhao Yulong always feels a little uncomfortable. Although he didn't know why, he always felt that something was missing.

Now, even if he picks up the book in his hand, he only has a cursory look, and there is no way to integrate into it, and naturally there is no way to read it.

Since you can't read the book, you can only walk around, hoping to relax your mood. But no matter where I go, I always feel a little less when I see something, and I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Brother Long, what are you thinking, why do I always feel that you are a little unwilling. At this time, Hu Yun was personally patrolling the city with soldiers, and he saw that Zhao Yulong's eyes were a little scattered.

"God knows, I just felt like something was missing, but I forgot what it was. It's ridiculous, I don't know what he is, but I remember that I lost. ”

"I think Brother Long is missing someone! To be honest, I don't think I'm used to not having a wolf dog, but we've all survived before. Now that he's better than before, at least he's sent a letter, so what's the matter. It won't be long before he'll be able to get around. ”

"Who are you missing?" Zhao Yulong suddenly understood something: "I think so." ”

Yes, being mentioned by Hu Yun like this, Zhao Yulong really remembered that what he lost was indeed a person. But it's not Meng Liang, to be honest, this place is not very far from the Lohr snow, just want to see the past.

But there was a man who could not be met by meeting, and it was the northernmost place of extreme cold. Whether it is from here or from Dongsheng Shenzhou, it is decades away, and this is still under the condition of this strength.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to get there, and the only thing left is the longing in my heart. It's just that Zhao Yulong never understands why so much time has passed, and he has gradually forgotten her existence, but that kind of longing is getting stronger and stronger.

If it's time to go into battle, it's better to put all your energy on combat. It's just that now when I'm free, it's a little stronger. I don't have anything to do, all that's left is to miss.

"Sure enough, Brother Long, you are very righteous. If I leave one day, will you miss me?" Hu Yun didn't know Zhao Yulong's thoughts, he just thought that Zhao Yulong was simply not used to it.

"No, of course not, you drag me back all day, why do I miss you?" Zhao Yulong looked around: "I think you should go and patrol for me! You see that these citizens around are so anxious to go to that place, there must be something." If you don't hurry up and take a look, you will be responsible for what happens. ”

"Okay, then I'll take a look. Hu Yun wanted to say a few more words, but when he saw something in the distance, it really looked like something was happening, and now he had to run towards that place.

After Hu Yun left, Zhao Yulong did not stop his pace, but continued to wander around the city. Although the reason has been found now, it does not make him feel much more comfortable, but only aggravates his thoughts.

Now I just hope that there will be something in the city to divert my attention, and before I know it, I have gone to the slave market. This was built in the opinion of Yinhu, because many families in the West need slaves, so slaves are a very sought-after commodity, and it is natural to have a market.

However, this kind of market is an ornament here in Zhao Yulong, because no matter how many slave traders and slaves there are, Zhao Yulong will always buy them all in the first time.

But instead of calling them like other slave owners, he gave them freedom. Each lord had the power to grant freedom to slaves, provided that their master allowed it.

And Zhao Yulong directly skipped the troublesome thing that their master allowed them, and bought slaves by themselves, and he was the master who didn't give them freedom like this.

After almost all the slaves were bought by Zhao Yulong, they were directly released. Most of these slaves were men, good at their jobs, and once they were freed, they naturally looked for things to do on the spot.

Therefore, Zhao Yulong's economy here is developing rapidly, and the West does not need to offer many things every month like the East, so now Zhao Yulong's Liaoyuan City, so that the economy of the entire Longming fiefdom is particularly developed.

Zhao Yulong's fief is just like the name Zhao Yulong gave him, it is indeed very famous, at least it makes Duke Walker so angry that he cane, for Zhao Yulong, this is almost it.

After all, what could be more pleasant to off one's enemies?

However, there are also some slaves who are more rigid, feeling that they have not made any contribution and cannot get rid of their slave status. Zhao Yulong incorporated them into the army, and let them be released after two months.

And now that Zhao Yulong is here again, it is already very lively, and the voices of many people chatting are here. Apparently these slave traders had arrived here, and since that time he had purchased all of Dabra's slaves, he had been introducing his friends to the area.

It looks like he's using himself as a cash cow, but that's fine. If they didn't come, Zhao Yulong wouldn't know that the number of these slaves was so huge.

With such a bustle in this today, it is obvious that there are many slave traders. For the slaves had no right to speak here, and they were only allowed to speak if they were allowed to, otherwise they would be greeted with a whip.

As for the slave owners who buy slaves, it is impossible for them to appear in the city of Zhao Yulong. They all knew that the Lord had always wanted to buy slaves, so they were very honest and did not rob Zhao Yulong.

Even if there were occasional people who wanted to come in and buy slaves, they would be rejected by the slave traders. Because the amount they bought was too small, and the price was not as attractive as Zhao Yulong.

Therefore, this place has basically become Zhao Yulong's private hour, although he is in a bad mood now, he still walked in to take a look. Then, as usual, I plan to count the number of people and give them the money.

But the number of people was a little different today, for he saw a slave smiling at him. It was a young girl, very white-skinned, and much better dressed than the other slaves. The most important thing is that she carries jewelry, which makes her a bit like a noble girl.

And such a dress, now that he is just a slave, it is inevitably a little hard to believe. It just so happened that this slave was sold by Dabra, and this slippery guy had talked to him a few times, so Zhao Yulong walked up directly.

"Why do you have a girl here as a slave?"

"I don't know, but I got it from a slave trader. He is one of the people I admire a lot, and he is very much in line with his professional ethics. He would not touch the slaves he traded, because they were destined to be buyers, and he could not contaminate them. ”

Dabra said and looked at the girl and swallowed: "To be honest, my resistance in the face of this kind of stunner is inevitably a little bad, if I have encountered it before, I guess...... But now I won't do this, because these are things that Your Highness has bought out, and I don't dare to touch your things, Your Highness. ”

"I'm not asking you that, but you should be able to tell that this girl isn't supposed to be a slave, but she's here now. ”

I don't know if it's a problem with Zhao Yulong's language expression ability or if the meaning of this said in the demon language has changed somewhat, in short, Dabra's answer is not the meaning that Zhao Yulong asked.

He was only a little surprised and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't know what you wanted from slaves. I thought you wanted everything, but you didn't want a female slave. After all, I have offended a lot of people in order to be able to bring this slave to His Highness intact, and I said at the time that this is what His Highness wants, so that others can not touch him. But your refusal now has a big impact on me. ”

"No, no, no, I mean, you saw her savoring the tender meat, not like ......."

Before Zhao Yulong finished speaking, Dabra hurriedly said: "I understand that people like her really can't be soldiers to fight, and they can't do strength work." I also know the whereabouts of the slaves that His Highness has received before, they are all soldiers and workers, so His Highness may not want to be so incapable. But your Highness, you should think in other ways, look at the fine skin and tender meat as you said, and no one has touched it, but it belongs to Your Highness. And a slave can't take care of you, isn't it good that you can throw it away when you're tired of it?"

"You think I'm this kind of person! Look at what you say, what is in your head?" To be honest, Zhao Yulong was rarely interrupted when he was seriously talking about things.

And even if someone else interrupts, it just proves that the point of view is different, and this guy completely misunderstood what he meant, and said it so excessively, which made Zhao Yulong feel ashamed.

In the East, a woman's chastity is very important, and even the lowest status of a woman enjoys the protection of the law of the land. Although the broken law is sometimes no different from waste paper, everyone knows that it is written out.

But I didn't expect that there would be such a thought in the West. Slaves don't have the freedom of life, even their bodies don't belong to them, what is this like?

Fortunately, Zhao Yulong saw this girl today, if she was bought by other slave owners, it would not be ......

At present, Rabuda was scolded by Zhao Yulong's sudden outburst of anger and scolded a little unable to raise his head, although Zhao Yulong did not say anything excessive. But he still didn't dare to say anything, because Zhao Yulong was not only a lord, but also his biggest guest, if he offended this guest, he wouldn't want to mix it up if he was afraid of death in the future.

It's just that he doesn't understand what he said wrong, and the slave owners should be very happy when they look at what he said according to his own experience.

But now Zhao Yulong is very angry, as if he is ashamed of these behaviors. To be honest, he had never seen someone with such a temper as Zhao Yulong, so now he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of speaking again.

After all, the rebellious lords recorded in the laws of Catlea were to be reduced to slavery and were not allowed to be freed for three generations. Even the king could not change the status of these slaves, so the power of the lord was great in the eyes of these commoners.

For Rabuda, the matter is even more eye-catching. After all, as a slave trader, what a shame it is to be reduced to a slave and sold by his peers.

Therefore, now he can only wait for Zhao Yulong to speak, maybe let Zhao Yulong finish his words alone, and he will not offend him.

Zhao Yulong is not good at losing his temper, after all, there are only two kinds of people who make him angry. One is the person who is about to be killed, and the other is just the person who is not intentionally offended.

The former was originally the target he wanted to kill, and there was no need to lose his temper and affect his body because he hated them. And the latter, since it was an unintentional offense, this matter was forgotten in the past, and now that this guy doesn't speak, he probably realizes his mistake.

Therefore, Zhao Yulong was no longer angry, but said lightly: "I mean, her identity should be the dress of a nobleman, at least not a slave, but how did she become a slave now?"

"Is this what Your Highness is asking you?"

"Otherwise, do you think there is anything else? Do I still have to ask her about her life and hobbies?"

"I see, because I changed hands from someone else, I don't know how she became a slave. But I think Your Highness could have asked her, and perhaps she would be willing to say so. ”

"Well, in that case, take the money, I want all the slaves here, and the money is shared between you and a few friends, and of course your money is in it. ”

Saying that, Zhao Yulong opened the cages of these slaves and gave each of them the key: "Very good everyone, as the lord of Longming's fiefdom, I announce that you have all been released." Now you are no longer slaves but commoners, and you are free to do whatever you want. Now if you are willing to find something to do by yourself, you can go first, and if you want to stay and let me arrange, you can also follow me to the Dragon Palace. ”

Saying that, Zhao Yulong turned around and walked towards the outside of the slave market: "Of course, you can only choose two things with me, one is to be a worker and build a city that is not available in the entire Western world, and the other is to be a soldier. Of course, my soldiers here are not good to eat and drink, you have to train every day, and I prefer to fight, so you should understand. ”

After speaking, Zhao Yulonglong walked towards the Denglong Hall without looking back. Now I basically don't care about them anymore, because I have given them freedom. Whether they want to come here or not is entirely their own business.

They came, of course, and the number of their army and workers would be greatly enlarged, which was indeed a good thing for them. But even if they don't come, it won't affect them, after all, even if they are looking for something to do now, they are still looking for something to do locally.

Even if it were to go elsewhere, it would be a few cities at most. It's still their own territory, so no matter where they are, it's actually very beneficial to themselves.

Therefore, it is one thing to manage it now, in short, no matter what, these slaves will be more or less grateful to Zhao Yulong, because he gave them freedom.

Therefore, if there is a real need for large-scale conscription in the future, these people will definitely be the first to report it. Unconsciously, Zhao Yulong has planted seeds for himself in the future. It's just that these look a little funny in front of Duke Walker, and he thinks that Zhao Yulong is nothing but a waste of money by doing this.

Now back in the main hall, some slaves have followed, most of them soldiers. is used to being a soldier, and it is not suitable for other things, so he naturally wants to join Zhao Yulong's army.

And Zhao Yulong naturally agreed, although there is a saying in the East that "soldiers are fine, not many." "But sometimes the more the merrier, at least the more people, the more likely those powerful soldiers will appear, so that the possibility of selecting talents for themselves to form an ace army in the future is also much higher.

However, only Zhao Yulong and Jing Rui knew about these news, and the others really didn't know that Zhao Yulong had such plans and was doing it.
