The white and sparkling rice grains exude an attractive fragrance.

It's rice, right?

Carl had been hauling goods at the docks before, and had the good fortune to see this imported product, and knew that it was an expensive food that only the aristocratic and wealthy could eat.

He couldn't believe that he could eat this kind of food that only the aristocratic and rich could eat in his lifetime.

Ignoring the hot mouth, Carl grabbed it with his hand and put it in his mouth, and quickly ate a large bowl of rice, this feeling of satiety made Carl feel warm and full of strength.

He couldn't believe that the new owner would let them eat expensive rice.

Thinking back to what Chen Xiao said, Carl felt that it was not a bad thing to follow such a new master.

After lunch, Chen Xiao began to arrange work.

"Blacksmiths, plasterers, stonemasons, carpenters and other craftsmen went to Wu Tong's side to register. ”

Chen Xiao pointed to Wu Tong's position, and in front of Wu Tong, a table, a pile of paper and ink and other tools were placed for registration.

"Warriors, mages and other prisoners of war, go to Lux's side to register. ”

Lux is a golden warrior, she has a keen sense of qi, and she can know the depth of the opponent's cultivation at a glance, and it is most suitable for her to do this aspect of the work.

"The man went to Rashana to register. ”

"Women go to Audrey to register. ”

Chen Xiao quickly assigned the work. With his command, with the assistance of the Guards, the registration of personnel was quickly completed.

Chen Xiao took these registration materials and began to worry.

Among the 5,000 slaves, there were more than 100 craftsmen, and the number was not small.

If used well, these craftsmen can play a very big role.

There are also about 300 prisoners of war, and the strongest ones have silver-level strength, while there are no mages.

This is also to be expected.

Mages have always been detached and noble, and if they become prisoners of war, they will quickly get rid of them.

The rest, just ordinary slaves.

The number of male slaves was small, only about a thousand, and the others were all female slaves, and they were all young and beautiful women.

What else can Chen Xiao say about this.

Women were always a vulnerable group in this era, and the favorite thing for the aristocratic and wealthy was to buy female slaves, so slave traders also liked to take in all kinds of young women.

Looking at this quantitative pattern of yin and yang decline, Chen Xiao secretly smiled bitterly.

Could it be that the inhabitants of his territory are all women's soldiers?

He did not look down on women, and in his time, women were even more than men, and in many areas they even had an advantage over men.

It's just that his current industrial development has only just begun, and the male labor force will have an advantage over the female one.

They looked at the data and looked confused.

"My lord, there are so many women, are you going to open a harem? ”

The quiet beautiful man Van Er said with a strange face.

He was an eyewitness who witnessed Chen Xiao squandering his money and buying these slaves back.

Chen Xiao's face was black.

What is this guy talking about! Don't you see the look in Lux's eyes that they are about to kill?

Although he also had this thought in his heart.

There are exactly more than 3,000 female slaves and 3,000 harems...... No problem!

Lux and Audrey looked at Chen Xiao with calm faces.

These female slaves were bought back, but they couldn't do their jobs, they couldn't show their role, and Chen Xiao didn't have so much spare money to take care of them, so these slaves would still face the result of being sold in the end.

Is it really as Van Er said, asking Chen Xiao to open a harem of 3,000?

Under Lux's imposing gaze, Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled.

"Who said women are inferior to men!"

Chen Xiao smiled inscrutablely.

"I tell you, women can hold up half the sky!"

Who said that women are inferior to men!

Women can hold up half the sky!

Lux and the others chewed on Chen Xiao's words, and their eyes were different when they looked at Chen Xiao.

His identification with women made Lux walk through a warm current in their hearts.

Even looking at Chen Xiao's gaze, it was a lot softer.

Van Er and Wu Tong looked incredulous.

Their adult words really had a big impact on them.

Can women still be compared to men?

Can women hold up half the sky?

All along, they just saw women as vassals of men, warming the bed, giving birth to children, taking care of the family, and doing housework.

What else can a woman do?

In terms of physical fitness and physique, women do not have innate advantages.

Chen Xiao didn't bother to talk to people like Wu Tong with deep-rooted ideas on this kind of sexism.

He began to arrange the rest of the work.

Led by Chen Xiao, stonemasons, plasterers, carpenters and other craftsmen led all the male slaves to devote themselves to the construction of housing.

The prisoners of war were placed in the Guards and trained by Wu Tong.

As for the slave girls......

Chen Xiao looked at the delicate young faces, and sighed secretly, he couldn't open a harem, and he couldn't let these female slaves do the same strength as men, so he was worried for a while.

"Except for the logistics department of a hundred people, the rest of the people will be in charge of the three of you. ”

Chen Xiao directly threw the burden of these female slaves to Lux and them.

"Make them an invincible army of women. ”

Women's Scouts?

Lux and Audrey were stunned.

According to Chen Xiao's meaning, it wouldn't be for them to train these women to go to the battlefield, right?

Women on the battlefield?

Is that possible?

Seeing that Lux and the others were not confident, Chen Xiao said, "Don't worry." Later, I will give you the training program and training plan. ”

He didn't plan to apply it to this group of women according to the existing soldier training methods, women were already weaker than men in terms of physique and physical fitness, so he had to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses and find another way.

Since Chen Xiao has a plan, what else can Lux say, Chen Xiao always has some unexpected ideas in his head, just believe him.

Moreover, to build an army of women, Lux felt the urge to try it when she heard it.

Who said that women are inferior to men!

Women's Army, that sounds so exciting!

Audrey's face was excited.

The territory of Blackstone Fort is not small, except for the open-pit coal mines around Heiyan Village, the rest of the place is mostly plains and hills, and the nearby Songlin Village and Amber Village have enough wasted land for planning new areas.

Chen Xiao did not plan to cut down pine trees to build houses, but directly used cement and steel bars as the foundation for the construction of the new area.

Everything needs to start from scratch.

Stonemasons gather usable stone and limestone, plasterers build brick kilns for calcining cement, and carpenters cut down trees to make various wheeled cart tools for transporting materials.

The fuel used for calcination, Chen Xiao is not worried. There is nothing here, just a lot of coal mines.

These days, the coal miners dig up is hoarded enough for him to consume for a while.

After calcining coal ash and limestone into powder, gypsum is added, which is a very good cement.

A brick kiln like a bun of mud was quickly built under the rush of a large number of slaves.

Clay and sand were everywhere, and the making of brick kilns was a matter of course.

When Chen Xiao ordered the pieces of peat to be thrown into the brick kiln, and when the firewood was burned, everyone present looked confused.

Can this black black thing still be used like this?

Peat that has not been dried is difficult to burn because of moisture, but when it is dried, it is a good fuel, and the combustion rate is much higher than that of firewood.

The brick kiln was put into operation, and pieces of clay bricks were calcined out.

The coal ash after the peat is burned as a raw material for cement.

Almost all waste can be recycled, and no material is wasted.

Cement is mixed with water and sand and then solidified to form a material that is stronger than stone.

Chen Xiao demonstrated how to use cement.

He used cement mixed with sand, applied it to the bricks, and then put the two bricks together.

When the cement is solidified, the two bricks are glued together, and they can't be smashed.

This discovery made those stonemasons and plasterers ecstatic, and they simply admired Chen Xiao's five-body throw.
