Chapter 10 Hope Lies Ahead
Li Yan didn't calm down until the sun was all out of the ground.
Yes, this was the first sunrise he had seen in the other world, and the magnificent landscape made him feel relaxed and proud, so he couldn't help but say those words.
When Li Yan turned around, he found that Zhao Lin and the others were standing under the city wall, and there were a hundred slaves standing behind them, and it could be seen that these slaves were carefully selected, half male and half female, and they were all strong and not sick.
Now they were cleanly washed, and their clothes were clean, except that everyone had a mark on their faces, and that mark was on their foreheads, a dragon with teeth and claws, which was the crest of the Karlin family, and was made according to their family name.
As soon as Zhao Lin saw Li Yan seeing them, he immediately bowed to Li Yan and said loudly: "Young Master, the brilliance of the Kalin family will definitely shine on the entire earth, please give us a lecture." ”
After he finished speaking, the slaves behind him all knelt down at once, and their heads hit the ground, and none of them dared to raise their heads to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan was just an ordinary otaku in his last life, and when he saw this kind of scene, he was stunned for a while, at a loss, and he really didn't know what to say.
It took a while for his emotions to slowly calm down, and when he saw that Zhao Lin and the others were still bent over and didn't get up, he hurriedly said: "Grandpa Zhao Lin, you guys get up, everyone else should get up, we have arrived at such a place, there is nothing in this place, there is no way to cultivate the land, there is no ore in the mountains, we only have such an abandoned castle as our shelter." ”
"And you people, at the same time, also have a common surname, whether you want to or not, you have been branded with the Carlin family, you are already members of the Carlin family, the Carlin family exists, you have the need to exist, the Carlin family disappears, you will also disappear, this is an unchangeable fact."
"Now we have nothing, but we have a pair of hands, everything in this world is created by human hands, each of us has a pair of hands, then we will not starve to death, we will make our lives better."
"Most of you are slaves, and you will think that it has nothing to do with you whether life is good or not, because no matter how good life is, you are still slaves."
"But what I want to say today is that as long as you work hard, as long as you can make offerings for the Karlin family, then I can remove you from the status of slaves, make you commoners, your children will no longer be slaves, and he may one day join the army of the Carlin family and become a glorious warrior."
"If he behaves well, he may become a knight, a nobleman, I ask you to do your best, I will give you the best, as long as you work hard, I swear here with the honor of my family, I will definitely make my promise today!"
There was a slight disturbance among the slaves, and it was important to know that the slaves were professionally trained before they were bought, and they were not allowed to move while their master was speaking, and they had to endure even if they wanted to fart, and such a disturbance should not have occurred.
But Li Yan's words are really shocking, there has never been a nobleman on the mainland who will turn a slave into a commoner, once you become a slave, then you will be a slave for the rest of your life, and your children and grandchildren will be slaves, this is unchangeable.
If Li Yan just said that these slaves would not believe it, but Li Yan swore with the honor of the Kalin family, you must know that the nobles here in the Tianyuan Continent do not swear easily, and even if they do, they will not swear with the honor of their own family.
That is what all nobles value the most, as long as they swear by the honor of the family, they will definitely do it, that is to say, what Li Yan said is all true!
What is a slave's greatest wish? It is to become a commoner one day, to restore their free identity, to make their children and grandchildren not suffer from slavery, for which many slaves have struggled.
They rebelled, they revolted, but they were quickly suppressed by the nobles, because they were only slaves, they had no weapons, they had no armor, they did not fight vindictively, in this case it was impossible for them to beat the armies of the nobles who were armed to the teeth.
Now Li Yan told them that you don't have to revolt, as long as you work hard, as long as you can make offerings to the Carlin family, then you can get the status of a commoner, which is really like a dream for these slaves.
It was necessary for the slaves to work hard, because if they did not work hard and were discovered, they would be put to death, and even if they were not executed, they would be punished with the most severe punishment, so that no one dared to be lazy at all.
Now they are told that as long as you work hard, I can give you what you want most, and this is too much of a shock for them.
Zhao Lin and the others were also stunned, they didn't expect Li Yan to say such a thing, to be honest, Zhao Lin didn't quite agree with what Li Yan said, because it was necessary for those slaves to work well, and there was no nobleman on the mainland who would turn a slave into a commoner, there were too many things involved.
But now that Li Yan's words have been spoken, he has no way to refute them, so he can only wait until he returns to the inner castle to talk to Li Yan about the situation.
Glancing at the people below, Li Yan also knew that it would be good for them to have such a reaction, from his previous memory, he already knew the status of these slaves, and it was precisely because he knew this that he used what these slaves wanted most to lure them.
Human creativity is infinite, as long as they are given hope, the energy they burst out is unimaginable, and now Li Yan is exactly when they need this kind of energy, so he will do it.
Li Yan was still very satisfied with their reaction, so he continued: "You can think of various ways, as long as you can make the Karin family benefit, or make something that can improve your life, something useful, you can all take it to Manager Zhao Lin." ”
"As long as I decide that what you have made is useful and good, I will give you credit, and as long as your merit reaches a certain level, you can become civilians."
"Even if you don't do anything, as long as you work hard, as long as you perform well, you can get a credit, as long as this credit accumulates to a certain extent, you can become a commoner, become a child of our Carlin family, the black soil territory."
Those slaves were even more excited, they were now almost going to regard Li Yan as a god, because only a god would be so merciful, and all the slaves had a burst of momentum on their bodies, which actually made Zhao Lin, who was standing in front of them and already had the strength of an eighth-level warrior, feel a little frightened.
Zhao Lin turned his head to look at those slaves, he found that there seemed to be an extra thing on the bodies of those slaves, when he saw these slaves before, he always felt that they were lifeless, like a stone, but now they are like a person, with more vitality and more energy.
Zhao Lin's heart was shocked, he suddenly understood Li Yan's approach, if the Kalin family wanted to develop, it would be impossible to develop just by relying on a hundred lifeless slaves.
But if it is a hundred people who are full of energy, it will be completely different, what kind of things can be done by a hundred motivated people, Zhao Lin doesn't know, but what a hundred slaves can do, he is clear.
Zhao Lin let out a sigh of relief, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and at the same time, there was a hint of perseverance in it, he believed that the opportunity for the Carlin family to dig up again was coming.
Li Yan also felt the changes in many slaves, he smiled slightly, knowing that his words were useful, so he immediately said: "Okay, you go to work, arrange these materials first, and there will be a new task for you tomorrow." ”
The slaves answered, and walked briskly towards the supplies, their steps much stronger than before, and their whole bodies full of energy.
Li Yan nodded with satisfaction, came down from the city wall, slowly walked to Zhao Lin's side, and said to Zhao Lin: "Grandpa Zhao Lin, let's go back, I have something to ask you." ”
Zhao Lin answered, led Li Na and them, followed Li Yan to the inner castle, looking at Li Yan's back, Zhao Lin knew that Li Yan had really changed, he was no longer the young master who only knew how to mess around before, he was now the patriarch of the Kalin family, a real patriarch.
Several people soon arrived at the restaurant in the inner fort, and after sitting down, Li Yan turned his hand, and the half of the radish he had eaten appeared in his hand, he put the radish on the table, and said to Zhao Lin: "Grandpa Zhao Lin, what do you think this is?" ”
Zhao Lin didn't make a sound, Li Yan glanced at Zhao Lin strangely, and found that Zhao Lin was looking at his hand in a daze, and he also knew why Zhao Lin had such an expression, because he had just taken out the action of a radish.
On this continent, there is also space magic, but space magic is very difficult to learn, and the requirements are very harsh, so not many people learn it.
Although there are space equipment that can be used to store things, but to open those equipment, it requires energy, whether it is magic or fighting energy, as long as there is energy, it can be opened.
And he, the one who drank the water of nothingness, couldn't open it even if he had that kind of equipment, let alone he didn't.
Li Yan smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa Zhao Lin, what do you think this thing is?" ”
Zhao Lin came back to his senses suddenly, stood up excitedly and said, "Young Master, you just ......"
Li Yan waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, that's the ability I got by accident, you just need to know, don't say it, come and see what this thing is?" ”
