Chapter 58: Slavery is a bad civilization

How to bring the pumping machine and water purification equipment, the armored car can be brought over in the same way, just a few more trips. Laura didn't think it was a big deal, the question was how could she get her hands on an arms of this level?

After going through some things, she really took over all the industries of the Crawford family, but after all, she had never been exposed to these things, and she didn't know how much energy she could mobilize, which required her to explore slowly. Before everything was clear, she felt that she would not talk about it for now, in case she said it but it didn't work out, how embarrassing it would be!

Fordin had already started to get to work, and instead of rushing to take off the armor of these people or anything, he put everyone on their horses.

A corpse was placed on one horse, and then Fordin tried to lead the horse back to Azeroth, and when he was sure that he could bring it over, he tied the horse over there, and then came back to bring the remaining horses with the corpses to prepare to dispose of the corpses there - the corpses were buried, and the armor and weapons on the body, as well as the valuables he carried, would be sold on Azeroth's side.

Will originally wanted to give a set to his future father-in-law, but then he thought that the owner of this armor had just been killed, and this armor didn't seem to be very lucky, even if he wanted to give the armor to the governor, it was better to wait for a while, and let Fording bring a new set of armor from his world to himself.

In the blink of an eye, a few corpses, all kinds of equipment on their bodies, and a few top-notch war horses were all disposed of, and now even if the Forrester family sent someone to turn Winter Village upside down, it would be impossible for him to find the slightest evidence, and use this to find trouble for Winter Village and David.

"Do those guys really care about any evidence, though?" After making sure that there were no enemies hiding around, Peggy, who had seen with his own eyes how shameless the other party was, felt that the Forrester family didn't care about these things at all, and just found another reason.

"They are the top noble families in Irontree Castle, so this kind of superficial work must be done in place." David smiled: "Besides, if I really go too far, I actually have a way to deal with it." ”

"Oh? What's the solution? Can you tell us? "Although he has confidence in the current strength of Winter Village, Davy should not mean to resist those noble families by force, Will is curious to know what other means Davy can use?

"Go to the royal capital of Tiran, and show your loyalty to His Majesty the current king."

"What kind of solution is this?"

Everyone was confused, only Ferding and Laura understood what David meant: let Winter Village become His Majesty's personal territory, so that whoever dared to attack Winter Village would be equivalent to declaring war on His Majesty the King himself.

Of course, it is not easy to do this, and even if David asks to see him as a pioneer who has successfully opened up a new land, it is possible that he will not meet His Majesty.

"Still, I don't think it's going to be a good idea." David would not easily run to show loyalty to King Tiran, and he preferred to maintain his current free life with great autonomy.

"Actually, there's something I've always wanted to ask......" Mark, who hadn't spoken much today, suddenly interjected, but swallowed back halfway: "Forget it, I'll talk to you alone about this matter when I have time." ”

David nodded, didn't ask Mark what he wanted to ask, looked back at the people next to him, and finally clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself: "Okay, no matter what other means that Sheehan Forrester has, we all have to live our lives now." ”

The corpse and all kinds of evidence were taken to Azeroth by Fordin, and there was no trace here, as for the blood on the ground? Just take a shovel and flip it on the ground a few times, and you won't be able to see it.

After completing the work of destroying the corpses in the shortest possible time, everyone went about their own business...... Although it seemed like this on the surface, David noticed that Peggy and Steve were both wandering around the outskirts of the village, intentionally or unintentionally, obviously keeping guard.

As for Sharon, perhaps Peggy had said something to this daughter earlier, and she quickly returned to normal, sitting at the long table at this time writing and drawing.

After replenishing his food and water, Fording left Winter Village again, this time with six fine horses and perhaps arriving in the Wild West sooner than expected.

Mark continued his day-to-day work: inspecting the fields, or rather harvesting them, and the few crops he tried to plant were already ripe for harvest. This result not only proves that Winter Village can grow a wider variety of crops, but also means that their food variety will become more abundant in the coming days.

Jenny Turtle routinely wanders around with Mark, and if he doesn't want to wander around, he will run to swim in the Winter River or simply bask in the sun somewhere in the village.

Will went back to Port Royal, presumably to find Elizabeth.

To David's surprise, Will soon returned, and several blindfolded men behind him held Will's shoulders and followed him.

"It worked."

Originally listening to Laura's account of her adventure (oral version of Laura's Killings), she saw Will and Elizabeth studying how to bring more people to Winter Village, so she stopped talking with Laura and walked out of the cabin to watch Will and Elizabeth high-five in celebration.

"How?"

As for Elizabeth's desire to arrange a few farmers for Will, it was agreed by David, and at the same time, he wanted to use Elizabeth to conduct some tests: must he have direct contact with Will himself in order to follow him to Winter Village? Or is it indirect contact, that is, people touching people and touching people, so that they can also come?

Now there is an accurate answer.

"You'll have to run into Will directly." Elizabeth looked at the few people next to her who were still blindfolded and didn't dare to run around, and didn't even dare to pick the strips of cloth on their eyes, these were just bought serfs: "Wait a minute, there are still a few people who haven't come." ”

Ordering a few serfs to stand where they were and not to run around, and not to take off the strips of cloth from their eyes, Elizabeth hurried back to Port Royal with Will and brought the rest of the men with her.

Ten serfs, it was an easy thing for Governor Weatherby-Swan. As for what Elizabeth said about a hundred, the Governor was joking purely as a daughter. After buying ten serfs for her, tell her that if she really reclaimed a large area of wasteland, when ten slaves were not enough, buy her more slaves.

Elizabeth did not express dissatisfaction, ten slaves were enough for the time being, and she thought that if she bought a hundred, the problem of food would not be solved.

Let these ten serfs build Will's farm into prototype first, and then add more serfs and expand the scale of the farm.

"Alright, you can take off the strip of cloth from your eyes." Elizabeth then introduced the ten serfs to their master, Will Turner, and told them that the next job was to clear the land for Lord Will Turner on the wasteland around the village.

As for the salary? Of course not! But Lord Will Turner would be solely responsible for the food, clothing, and lodging of these serfs.

Listening to Elizabeth's words, Will's face turned a little pale, and he secretly whispered in Elizabeth's ear: "My blacksmith shop has not officially opened yet, and there is no way to feed so many people. ”

"Come to my place later to bring some food and clothing, you should be able to cope for a while."

"That's ...... Not okay? ”

"In this way, I can make you a big farmer sooner......"

The young couple whispered and talked non-stop, and David looked at the group of slaves: they were all men in the prime of life, and to David's surprise, these slaves were basically white.

As if seeing David's doubts, Laura whispered to him next to him: "In fact, there were many white slaves in the early slave trade, and these white slaves were mainly bankrupts and criminals, who were forced to work in the colonies after becoming slaves. Because these slaves made contracts, they were called indentured slaves, and they were free again as long as they worked for the number of years of the contract. ”

David glanced at Laura, "How do you know I'm weird about something?" ”

"I don't think you know enough about the history of this." Laura suddenly changed the topic and brought up another thing: "I drank a lot of black tea with me, but the milk and sugar barely decreased, as far as I know, I like to drink it without any seasoning, it is ......"

"Ahem~ According to Protocol No. 404 of the Space-Time Management Regulations, there are some things that cannot be said directly."

"Oh~" Laura didn't care about David's obvious nonsense, she was curious about another thing: "Why don't you continue to hide it?" ”

"I don't seem to be very good at that." Spreading his hands helplessly, he suspected that Mark had actually guessed it a long time ago, but he didn't say it explicitly.

"You're not wrong, you're not very good at this kind of thing." Laura seemed to remember something happy, smiled and asked another question: "And what is your real name?" ”

"My real name is David."

"Nice to meet you, Dai! Dimension! Laura suddenly reached out and shook David's hand, and by this time Elizabeth and Will had gone to the blacksmith with ten serfs. The blacksmith shop is big enough, as long as there is enough bedding, these ten serfs don't have to worry about not having a place to sleep: "So, how do you arrange those ten slaves?" ”

This sentence is like triggering a switch, Steve, Peggy, and Mark, who were attracted by Elizabeth and Will one after another, were all watching the excitement nearby, and as soon as Laura raised this question, the eyes of several people were all focused on David.

"This is Winter Village, of course, according to the rules of Winter Village." David simply won't be bothered by such a small question: "These people need to sign a new contract with Will Turner and work for Will as an indentured farmer." ”

David was not a slave liberator, but the situation in Winter Village was destined to have no room for slavery.
