If you want to build your own power, you can't do it alone.

As a time-traveler who has crossed over from modern society, Chen Heng deeply understands this truth.

As a result, he bought many slaves from the Northern Lords since he reached a partnership with the Northern Lords.

Slaves, which is a very good source of manpower.

Slaves who were bought and sold were deprived of all rights and belonged to their masters, and no matter how they were treated, no one would hold them accountable.

Under normal circumstances, except for a small number of slaves with special value, the vast majority of slaves are not valued by those lords.

Because as lords, they have a certain degree of power over their people, whether they are fighting or doing something else, they have free and cheap cannon fodder to use.

And although slaves are cheap, in their opinion, they still need to spend money to buy, and naturally they are not cost-effective.

However, in Chen Heng's opinion, this is not the case.

As a modern man, he had many ways to exploit and exploit the surplus value of those slaves.

Therefore, a considerable part of those slaves under the Northern Lord were absorbed by Chen Heng and bought by himself.

For more than a year, most of the profits he had made in Kutu City had been filled in there.

He placed the purchased slaves on his estate, set up simple workshops in it, used water power and assembly lines to produce, and then sold what was produced on his estate through his own connections.

For these, Baron Kaysen is not clear.

However, at this moment, he could also feel the special nature of these people under Chen Heng.

Compared with ordinary people, these black-haired slaves under Chen Heng are inevitably too capable.

Moreover, not only is they capable, but they also look at Chen Heng's eyes and expressions very wrong.

The existence of slaves, Baron Kaysen has not never seen it.

On his own estate, there were many slaves, in which they did heavy agricultural work.

It's just that in his impression, the eyes and expressions of those slaves are often numb and afraid.

It's like losing hope and future, and I can't see the slightest bit of anger.

But these under Chen Heng are a little different.

Despite their status as slaves, they seem to be very energetic, and they are very active and energetic in their work.

There's nothing like a slave should be.

Moreover, the bodies of these slaves also seem to be very good, and they do not have the feeling of weakness and decadence like other slaves.

"How did you do that?"

After observing silently for a while, Baron Kaysen couldn't help but ask this doubt.

He felt that there were too many things in his child that he couldn't understand.

His ability is so strong that many of the things he does cannot be understood and understood.

"Give them hope. ”

Faced with Baron Kaisen's doubts, Chen Heng's answer was also very direct.

"People and tools are different. ”

He looked at the hard-working black-haired slave in front of him, and said softly: "Tools can be used repeatedly, but they also need daily maintenance. ”

"Slaves, as a special tool, also need maintenance. ”

Speaking of this, he said lightly: "Give them enough sleep and rest time, and relatively sufficient food, which is daily maintenance, so that they will not collapse and have problems with their bodies." ”

"In addition, give them a little more hope that they can see the possibility of making their lives better through their own efforts. ”

"Doing these things well, coupled with appropriate means, can greatly improve the efficiency of their work......."

Baron Kaysen was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand something, but he also seemed to be a little incomprehensible.

Give the slaves enough rest time and plenty of food?

It didn't seem like what he had imagined.

In order to save costs, who doesn't want a normal person to have a slave eat the least and simplest food and do the most tiring work?

It's best not to have even a little time for yourself every day to earn the most benefits for yourself.

But when it comes to Chen Heng, it seems to be a little different.

"The human body needs to be maintained. ”

Looking at Baron Kaysen, Chen Heng continued to speak, explaining to him: "If you want a slave to do a good job, a good body is the key. ”

"And if you want to be healthy, proper food is also a must. ”

"If you use inferior use for a long time, your body will become weaker and weaker, and even if you use a whip to drive it away, you will not be able to do more work. ”

"And taking a whip to drive it away is not an efficient management tool in itself. ”

He spoke softly, explaining to Baron Kaysen.

Listening to his explanation, Baron Kaysen nodded, as if he understood something.

"I've always been at ease when you do things. ”

In the end, he stopped asking about it, but instead said, "This time to Baron Myra's side, take Ormando with you." ”

"Exactly, let him do something too. ”

"Good. ”

Chen Heng nodded, seemingly unconcerned about this issue.

A few days later.

After all the goods arrived this time, Chen Heng set off again.

This time is more important than the previous ones.

In the previous few times, because the trade had just begun, the surrounding lords were only tentatively unfolding, and the transaction volume was not large.

But this time it was different.

This time he went to Baron Myra's territory, Chen Heng took almost all the goods transported during this period of time, and its value was very high, to put it bluntly, it was a figure that even Baron Kaysen would be shocked.

If there is any mistake, I am afraid that the loss will be extremely huge.

It is precisely because this transaction is so important that on this trip, Baron Kaysen has almost brought out most of the half-guards in his territory.

Baron Cayson and Ormando were also on the band.

"So many ......."

As he rode along the road, Ormando looked at the boxes pulled by oxen around him, and his heart was full of fire.

He knew exactly what was in the boxes.

So he also roughly understands what kind of wealth is contained in it.

And once this deal is reached, what a huge profit his family will make.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a fever and feel a burst of excitement.

At this moment, he still didn't know that the ownership of these things was not the family behind him, but Chen Heng himself.

In his mind, the value of this batch of goods was so huge that Chen Heng could not have it anyway.

Most of it was funded by Baron Kaisen and let Chen Heng purchase it from the lord of the north, which belonged to the entire family.

And the wealth belonging to the family will naturally be his.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel excited, and felt a burst of heat.
