One hectare of land is not too big, and it took Xu less than an hour to complete the inspection.

After returning to the Brunei housekeeper, Xu Yi took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from his bag and handed it over.

"Steward of Brunei, this is the first year of our lease of this land, you can take it back and let the Viscount see, if the Viscount is not satisfied with anything, you can ask us, we can make appropriate modifications according to the Viscount's proposal. ”

Xu Yi was still very respectful on the surface.

He knows very well that the current social form of the Sainz continent is still a semi-serf and semi-feudal society, which is very different from the situation on the earth, and if he wants to do certain things successfully on this continent, there are some rules that he still has to follow.

Sure enough, seeing Xu Yi's respectful attitude, the Brunei housekeeper's face softened slightly, took Xu Yi's plan, and nodded: "Okay, I will take it back and let the Viscount pass the purpose." Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, Lord Viscount is very generous, as long as you don't do anything to make him unhappy, Lord Viscount will not interfere with what you do under normal circumstances. ”

"Then thank you Brunei Butler for your kind words. ”

The atmosphere of the conversation became better, and things went much more smoothly, and the Brunei housekeeper just glanced at the plan casually, and then took out a land lease deed for Xu Yi to sign.

When Xu Yi signed his name, the Brunei housekeeper finally showed a smile and stretched out his hand to Xu Yi: "Very good, Mr. Xu Yi, now this land has belonged to you within this year, I hope you can cherish this opportunity that Lord Viscount has given you." ”

"Definitely. ”

The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Xu Yigang was about to say goodbye with Heinze, when a terrible scream suddenly came from a distance.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and they all looked in the northwest direction where the screams came.

There was another scream, and along with the wind came a loud cry and a loud whip twitching.

"Let's take a look!" Xu didn't have time to think about it, and raised his foot and ran in the direction where the voice came from.

Heinze hesitated for a moment and looked at the Brunei butler on the side: "Brunei butler, listening to the voice, it should still be in the territory of Lord Viscount, right?"

The Brunei housekeeper narrowed his small eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came for a while, and waved his hand: "Let's go and have a look." ”

The closer the distance, the clearer the sound became, and the sound of the whip in the air was chilling, accompanied by a terrible cry and scream, which made people feel even more sad.

Xu Yi was much younger than the Brunei housekeeper and Heinze, and he set off first, and after a while, he had already come to the place where the voice came from, and when he looked up, his eyes suddenly cracked.

In the middle of a wasteland, three stout men were surrounding a thin child, who was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and each of them had a leather whip in his hand, and he was whipping it incessantly.

At this time, the child had been whipped from the leather whip and had drawn countless blood marks on his body, and even the flesh had been turned out in some places, and his appearance looked extremely miserable.

And she could still scream at first, but now she couldn't even scream, and she didn't even have the strength to roll, so she could only twitch with the twitching of the whip.

"Stop!" Xu Yi roared angrily and rushed out without thinking. "Do you want to kill him?"

The three strong men obviously didn't expect someone to rush out from the side suddenly, and glanced at Xu Yi in amazement, probably because the magic robe Xu Yi was wearing made them scruples, and they involuntarily stopped.

But when Xu Yi wanted to squat down to help the child up, he was directly stopped by a strong man.

"Hey, what are you doing? We're teaching house slaves, whoever you are, you don't have the right to interfere!" shouted the strong man.

"House slave?" Xu Yi glanced at the child on the ground in amazement, thinking that this was Viscount Leslie's territory, so this child ......

"He's a slave to Viscount Leslie's family?"

The strong man glanced at Xu Yi unexpectedly: "Since you know Lord Viscount, don't be nosy." Sue you, this little bastard actually lost the Viscount's ploughing cattle, and it would be cheap to kill him!"

"Ploughing cattle?" Xu Yi frowned, and said angrily: "It's just a cow that you lose, do you want his life?"

"You know what a fart!" the strong man sneered: "The autumn harvest will be in less than two months, but this little bastard has lost a ploughing ox at this time, which will have a great impact on the autumn harvest! Besides, do you know how much a ploughing ox costs? Forty gold coins! This little bastard will not be able to sell for half a gold coin even if he is sold! Do you think it is cheap for him?"

"You can't kill a man, can you? Even if you kill him, the oxen won't come back." ”

Of course we do. If you don't punish this fellow, and the other fellows are like this, then the Viscount's field will not be planted?"

Xu Yi frowned, knowing that it would not make sense for him to reason with them, and there was no power guarantee for slaves on the Sainz Continent, and he was really not qualified to stop the other party from doing these things.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi turned his head and saw that the voices of the Brunei housekeeper and Heinze had already appeared not far behind him, so he settled down.

The three strong men looked at Xu Yi's gaze, and naturally saw the Brunei housekeeper as well.

As Viscount Leslie's manor guard, of course they recognized this Brunei butler who was trusted by Viscount Leslie, and they were stunned for a moment and hurriedly greeted him.

After a while, the Bruneian butler and Heinze also walked over, and after just a glance at the situation, they already understood what was going on.

"Mr. Xu Yi, this is our family's private matter, please don't interfere. The Brunei butler's tone was very indifferent, but there was a simplicity in his tone that was not allowed or refused.

Xu Yi frowned deeply, he knew that if he followed the rules of the Sainz Continent, he really had no reason and was not qualified to meddle in it.

But for him to watch such a child being beaten to death, it is unacceptable no matter what.

Xu Yi glanced at Heinze for help, but found that Heinze shook his head at him slightly, obviously not approving of his interference.

Seeing that the leather whips in the hands of the three strong men were about to be drawn again, Xu Yi felt very anxious in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute! Brunei butler, can I buy him?"

"Buy?" the Brunei butler was stunned for a moment, then frowned deeply. "Xu Yi, I have already sued you, this is our family's private matter, do you really want to interfere?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Xu Yi waved his hand again and again. "It's just that I suddenly remembered that it was very inconvenient for me to live alone, and I had long wanted to buy a slave to serve myself, but I never had a suitable one. Now that this slave belongs to the Viscount, I will take the opportunity to ask the Viscount to sell him to me, how about it? I believe that with the Viscount's trust in you, the steward of Brunei, you can call the shots in this matter of a slave, right?"

The Brunei housekeeper's face sank, and he was about to refuse, but Xu Yi suddenly rushed over and hugged his shoulders.

This sudden action made the Brunei butler couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and he was about to get angry, but he heard Xu Yi whisper in his ear: "Yicheng shares!Lord Butler, as long as you promise to sell this slave to me today, I will give up the shares of the magic fan factory that will be established to Lord Viscount, what do you think?"

The Brunei housekeeper looked at Xu Yi in amazement, and found that the expression on Xu Yi's face was very serious, not like a joke at all, and couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Xu Yi, do you really want to give up 10% of the shares for the sake of a slave in this place? Although I don't know how much your 10% shares in this factory can be worth, but the magic fan is sold so well in Bangta City, presumably this 10% of the shares will not be less, right?"

Xu Yi smiled lightly: "You can be willful for a while." ”

The Brunei housekeeper looked at Xu Yi meaningfully: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Xu Yi nodded affirmatively: "Definitely." ”

The Brunei housekeeper nodded, broke free of Xu Yi's arm, and waved his hand to the three strong men: "Let him go." ”

The three strong men glanced at each other and obediently got out of the way.

The Brunei housekeeper glanced at the slaves on the ground, and then looked at Xu Yi: "Mr. Xu Yi, now he belongs to you." ”

Xu Yi smiled and put his hand in his pocket: "Thank you, thank you." How much does this slave cost?"

A strange smile appeared on the corner of the Brunei butler's mouth, and he shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu Yi, you are so generous, of course I can't be too stingy on behalf of Lord Viscount, this slave is given to you as a meeting gift for our cooperation." ”

"In that case, then I have thanked the Viscount here. ”

After the Brunei housekeeper and the three strong men left, Xu Yi and Heinze carried the slave on the ground into the carriage.

On the way, hearing Xu Yi talk about the cost of saving the slave, Heinze almost jumped up in the carriage.

"You're crazy!" Heinze pointed at Xu Yi, who was a little angry. "Xu Yi, according to the estimation of the two of us, if this magic fan factory is one qiē shun lì, the annual profit will be at least five thousand gold coins! You give one percent of the shares to Viscount Leslie, which is equivalent to directly giving him at least five hundred gold coins! You must know that we only spent one hundred gold coins a year renting one hectare of his land!"

Xu Yi waved his hand, motioned for Heinze to do it, and said with a smile: "Actually, even if there is no such thing, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to give Viscount Leslie some shares, and now I just want to take advantage of this matter to give it out, it is better to say that it is exactly what I want." ”

Seeing that Xu Yi said it easily, Heinze calmed down a little, but he was still a little puzzled.

"Why?"

"Why?" Xu Yi smiled and pointed to the large wasteland outside the car window. "Heinze, you see clearly, this land is Viscount Leslie's private domain, you should know what private territory means, right? That is, as long as Viscount Leslie wants to, he can drive us away at any time, even if we have a contract, it doesn't work, because this is the damned noble privilege. ”

"I've thought about it a long time ago, if we want to stay here for a long time, we have to have the genuine support of Viscount Leslie. But why should we have this noble viscount to support us sincerely? There is only one answer, and that is to tie him to the same chariot as us. Only when his interests are in line with ours will he truly support us, or at least he will not come to hold us back. Actually, one percent of the shares is still too small, and I would like to give him two percent of the shares if I can. But that's too conspicuous, and our relationship is just beginning, so there's no need to rush it now. ”

Heince looked at Xu Yi in a daze for a while, then suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Xu Yi, I misjudged you." ”

"Oh?"

"I thought you were just a magical genius, but now it seems that you are more of a profiteer than I am. ”

"Ha, thanks for the compliment. ”
