The five soldiers who exploited the caravans on the border were not unique, at least along the way, the caravans in Pontus encountered one checkpoint after another to collect cents.

If it is ordinary, the caravan that has no force as a guarantee backstage encounters so many levels, not to mention making money, it is simply a loss-making transaction. Merchants in the Rus' Empire were either merchants who operated only in one or a few small areas, because they could not afford to pay the centime.

Either they don't have to hand over the money, and the soldiers don't care about the big caravans like the Pontus slave hunters. In the territory of the Rus' Empire, there was no zài middle between the two.

Shocking inefficiencies, and surging undercurrents hidden beneath inactive business activity.

The Pontic Slave Hunters had already entered the first city, and after two days and nights had been corrected and everyone had relaxed, the Slave Hunters continued their journey with a full load of slaves.

These slaves could not be sold openly in the cities, and the best place to digest them was in the remote private estates of the nobility.

By the way, during the two nights of the slave hunting group, the city's entertainment industry ushered in a small peak, and many people made more money than usual.

"The place we are going to is the domain of the Earl of Hesson. Avileda sat in the carriage and crossed Erlang's legs and said to Chu Nan.

After a few days, the relationship between Averetta and Chu Nan was a little more harmonious, but only a little. Now, Avileda will explain to Chu Nan from time to time about the things on the way.

The history of the Roland Continent, the customs of the Rus Empire, the strange sacrifices of the orc tribes, and so on. Chu Nanquan was listening to a wonderful story of customs and customs.

"Count Hesson?"

From the carriage, there was a wheat field around, and the peasants were working in the fields, but many of them were serfs from the slave owners' families.

He who became a slave because of his debts, and he who was taken captive because of defeat. The serfs all seemed to be malnourished, and most of the value they created in the course of their labor went to the slave owners, and they did not earn even a fraction of it.

From a distance, it looks like a harmonious farm life with green hills, cicadas chirping, but when you walk in, you can see that on the beautiful scenery are serfs bound by contracts.

Seeing the plight of the serfs, Chu Nan could only sigh a few words. Save all the serfs and fight against the aristocratic forces of the Rus Empire? Chu Nan has not yet reached such a point.

And Avileda was used to these scenes.

"A big nobleman who owns a lot of fiefdoms, and at the same time, he himself has a lot of bargaining chips in political power. And our unit also has a special permit issued by him. ”

Rich and powerful, Earl Hesson is a popular man in the empire. However, even such a celebrity will help the slave hunters in their evil slave trade, and it is even more imperative that others are not to be imagined.

"Is our shipment going to be exchanged here?"

Avirida shook her head: "Hesson doesn't have that much energy yet. We trade in Hesson's castle, not with Hesson alone, but on this day, the nobles around Hesson's territory will gather in Hesson's castle to buy together. ”

The slave trade in this world has developed so well that there is even a fixed number of days of trading, I really don't know if it is a matter of star wishes, or a sad and depraved story.

The Rus Empire also had nobles, and the emperor would also divide the territories to the nobles, but this feudal territory was different from the countries in the west and central parts of the Roland Continent. The autonomy of these territories is minimal.

The nobles of the Rus Empire had a private army, but their number was extremely limited, and they had to serve in the same military service as the nobles of the West Lorand continent in wartime, but the object of military service in the Rus Empire was directly the emperor, while the nobles of other countries only served their loyal lords.

Secondly, the nobility did not have the right to tax in their own domains, and even if they did, they only collected taxes for the emperor, and as for themselves, they could not tax themselves.

However, these nobles often had their own private estates, which contained serfs who worked for themselves, and these serfs were their wealth. The nobles could decide the life and death of the serfs, and all the things of the serfs, including wives and children, were the dead wealth of the nobles.

The only constant is class privilege, oppression between classes.

This is an eternal topic, the nobility and commoners, the rich and the poor...... This oppression is nothing more than a change of name, and then the continuation of the zài.

This has nothing to do with the development process of society, whether the civilization is high or not, it is a natural phenomenon that society must have as long as it exists.

"I found out they didn't need slaves. Chu Nan looked at the serfs who were working hard in the fields and said. Serfs were also slaves, lowly efforts, and all of them were at the mercy of their serf owners.

"Who knows?" said Avileda shrugged her shoulders and stepped out of the carriage.

Hessen's castle can be seen from afar, in the middle of the manor's encirclement, on a hill with a winding road that is so narrow that only one carriage and a few people can travel in parallel to Guò.

The reason why the building is narrow is to prevent the enemy from attacking, and to give full play to the advantages of the terrain to resist the enemy. However, it is not known whether the enemy of this defense is a foreign invader or a serf under the mountain.

A lush grove at the foot of the mountain, guarded by several soldiers who were much stronger than the five soldiers seen on the borders of the Rus' Empire. At least in terms of spirit and equipment, as the private armed forces of the nobles, the nobles will definitely create the best conditions within their own ability for their own armament.

The Pontus slave hunters automatically stopped advancing here, and Pontus himself stepped forward, and when they saw Pontus, the soldiers nodded and let Pontus go.

Both sides have already dealt with each other so many times, and they are already familiar with each other.

The swaying carriage drove to the castle with the cries of the slaves, and the slaves in the prisoner cart were originally anesthetized and unconscious on the way, but after arriving at Hesson's territory, Pontus did not continue to release the anesthetic. These slaves were meant to be shown to the adults after a while, and they were not allowed to look at some people who were lying motionless on the ground like dead bodies.

A group of pot-bellied merchants, ladies with heavy makeup, or philistine-looking aristocrats gather in the middle of the castle and wait for the arrival of the Pontus slave hunting group.

When they finally saw the slave hunting group, the distinguished crowd cheered.
