Chapter 91: Slaves

Three people were killed and more than 20 wounded.

The vast majority of them are minor injuries, and they will be fine after a few days of recuperation.

72 good horses and 19 lame horses were captured.

Nearly 900 cattle and sheep, but more than 60 were eaten by his gang of bastards.

And judging from this situation, I am afraid that when I return to Northland County, there will be more than 500 heads left at most.

This is something to be very aware of.

Even if you snatch it back, you can't eat and drink.

It's going to have to go back and change money.

Women don't count, nearly 41 young men were captured.

As for the rest of the tribe, they went to meet their ancestors.

The captives plus cattle and sheep can be sold for more than 900 guan, and with those war horses, this trip can probably earn more than 1,200 guan.

If you get half of it, you can probably get more than 600 pieces.

I worked hard for more than ten days, risked my life, worked tirelessly, traveled hundreds of miles, and finally earned more than 600 yuan.

That's not a lot of money.

But this is the first time, inexperienced, plus too conservative.

will kill chickens with a knife.

Unexpectedly, all the people are dispatched, and a small tribe like this, a thousand horses are enough.

In this way, if three cavalry teams are dispatched at the same time, he will be able to earn 1,800 yuan.

Twice a month, that's a year......

Ah!

The brain is a little insufficient, and the fingers are not enough.

When you go back, you have to ask someone for help, or you'll be fooled.

Anyway, you have to be more shrewd in attacking in the future, and at the same time, you must strengthen the training of your opponents.

To deal with such a small tribe, and all the staff were dispatched, and three were killed and more than twenty were injured, which is simply too embarrassing.

Although the lord didn't say it, Cao Xuan was clear.

If there are large casualties, the lord will definitely replace himself.

There are a lot of people who are in this position.

As soon as others instigate him, the lord will remove himself.

Therefore, it must be strengthened, and it must be strengthened to make the wind wolf ride more powerful.

Let these barbarians outside the Seychelles be frightened when they hear our great name, and obediently surrender.

Cao Xing handed over cattle, sheep, war horses, and captives in Northland County.

Taishou Su of Northland County sold the cattle and sheep directly in Northland County.

A cow costs at least 8 times, and it is worth 10 times in the prime of life.

A sheep also costs two or three dollars.

The good horses will not be sold for the time being, and the unification will be sent to Chang'an and handed over to the lord for unified deployment.

The slaves were the same, sent to Chang'an, responsible for digging mountains and quarrying, paving roads and building bridges.

A wasteland in five or six miles of Chang'an City, which is now a large construction site.

Nearly 2,000 young people are working here, most of them are people who have migrated from Hedong County and Luoyang.

Without land, now they can only sell their labor.

The stones hewn out of the mountains would be sent to the stonemasons to be hammered into boxy blocks or strips of stone.

Then use board trucks and carts to send them to the construction site.

Imitating the shape of the Colosseum in ancient Rome, the entire viewing platform is circular. It covers an area of 15 acres.

In the middle is Lu Bu ordered people to imitate the football field. In the middle is a set aside competition venue for Confucian speeches and debate competitions. Usually it is the competition venue for the people to enjoy and entertain.

It is surrounded by auditoriums, which can accommodate more than 10,000 spectators.

The auditorium is all made of stone.

The people piled up stones and stones with hanging ropes, and the cracks of each stone were mixed with a glutinous rice to make a soup and then mixed with a binder made of sand and lime.

Extremely durable.

In this way, it is too cumbersome and too time-consuming to build a viewing platform.

Lu Bu misses the cement of the future very much.

With steel bars, a high-rise building can be built in a short time.

He glanced at Ma Jun beside him.

Ay.

Although Ma Jun is very smart, he is not good at this kind of refining cement.

He's better at handicrafts like that.

If you want to refine cement, it should be a Taoist priest who is more suitable.

In order to refine the elixir, they dared to take everything and burn it.

In addition to cement, their help was also indispensable for the refining of gunpowder.

In fact, the recipe for black powder was clear to Lu Bu. But a small amount of gunpowder could not bring about a qualitative change.

The manufacture of large quantities of sulfur and saltpeter requires human help and takes time to develop and produce.

Lu Bu planned to wait for it to be mass-produced, and then take it out.

Of course, he used it when he dreamed of going to sea and conquering other countries.

In a hundred years of national humiliation, foreigners snatched a large area of land from China with their ships and cannons, and also made China suffer humiliation.

Lu Bu thought of using the same method to get them to knock on their door, rob them of their land, and enslave them.

Let the body of a foreigner be buried under every sleeper.

On the construction site, the Han Chinese drove ox carts and used sliding ropes to work.

The stones they used were all made by slaves who went into the mountains, killed them with fire, and then suddenly poured them out with water, causing the stones to break.

Or it can be chiseled directly with a shovel.

In this era, quarrying was very dangerous.

If you are not careful, you will be directly buried by the cracked mountain, or you will be killed or seriously injured by a sliding stone.

The dead, the disabled were thrown directly into mass graves, and they were left to be the food of wolves and jackals.

As for the rest of the slaves, they did not have a good life.

They worked in groups of four, holding ropes and lifting large wooden blocks and slamming them to the ground. Flatten the ground.

Then a few people will pull hundreds of pounds of large rolling stones to smooth the ground.

It's just the township road.

For example, the official road between counties, the important post road is directly paved with stones.

These slaves rested at sunrise and returned at sunset.

There are no holidays, not even sick days.

Dry land is harder than an ox, and it eats worse than a pig.

This is what happens to slaves.

Finally, after a tiring day, I can finally get off work.

Dinner?

That's not at all.

Two meals a day, one at nine o'clock in the morning, one at three or four o'clock in the afternoon,

A bowl of millet porridge and a steamed bun are all.

Occasionally, there will be a little pickle, and as for the rest, don't think about it.

At the end of the day, I was tired and hungry, and basically lived in a place like a cowshed and slept on the floor.

At first, the slaves resisted and escaped, and under the threat of wolfdogs, sabers, and whips, they gradually became docile and obedient.

Slowly, their wildness was also worn away, and they became like walking corpses, obediently working every day.

I just waited for that day to fall down and be thrown into a mass grave to understand the sound.

It was time for these slaves to live like the living dead.

On this day, Cao Xuan walked in with a team of soldiers.

The terrible environment in the construction site, as well as the disgusting smell of the slaves, made Cao Xuan not want to come at all.

But he could not fail to obey the lord's orders.

Someone was asked to build a high platform, and Cao Xing stood on the platform and shouted loudly: "I have good news for you." ”

After inspecting the slaves present, he shouted: "As long as you are capable of joining our army, as long as you are willing to fight side by side with us, you can be freed from the status of slaves, and you will not only have good food, but also a bounty." In the future, he will be a general, and it is not impossible to be a marquis. Who wants to! ”
