If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?

Chapter 67 Second Recruitment

It is very easy for Roman to feed slaves.

But the waste of resources and labor is something he cannot tolerate.

After getting this batch of slaves, there are about 2,500 people in Sige Town now.

During this period, 9 children were born in Sige Town, and the population growth rate is terrible.

Although Roman told every merchant ship passing through Sige Town that he wanted to buy slaves.

But so far, those small caravans have not sent him a large number of slaves, only one, two, three, four or five.

Now he has to rely on Daken.

Although Morey can also do slave business, he is currently purchasing oxen and draft horses.

For the slaves that Daken brought last time, Roman temporarily selected ten slave managers who seemed reliable and let them manage themselves as long as they did not cause trouble.

The lack of grassroots managers gave Roman a headache.

The managers in Sige Town did not show the quality of improvement.

In other words, they are still using the medieval landlord thinking to govern those idiots.

Self-righteous and stingy!

If he and Seth hadn't kept a close eye on them, the food they arranged for the laborers would have been eaten by these guys.

The manager in charge of the oven and the mill was thinking about how to mix sawdust, sand and stones into the black bread every day, and he fought with Seth for this.

Roman was so angry that he almost chopped off his head.

Earlier, the farm tool manager also opposed Roman's recasting of the iron plow.

If Roman hadn't opposed everyone, deep plowing alone would not have been possible.

The cowherd thought about how to let his cows rest every day.

When building the road, because there were not enough felling tools, Roman asked the oxen to work together to pull up the trees, but he dared to jump out and object!

A group of misers and stingy people, typical landlords and rich people!

Every day they think about how to squeeze resources out of their teeth!

And squeeze the laborers to death!

TMD!

Is the money saved?

Don't you know that this will only make those stupid people more stupid?

If you don't feed them enough, how can they have the energy to work?

How can they work efficiently if they only rely on those two unnutritious meals every day! !

They will die of exhaustion before they are fifty!

Roman was not kidding.

Eating two meals a day, without nutritional supplements, and doing high-intensity labor, they are completely burning their own blood bars, and they are all pale and thin. If you don't die, who will die?

They will die when they are fifty!

What a waste!

Eat more and work until you are seventy or eighty years old before dying!

I can't stand it!

Roman felt it necessary to train a new batch of management grassroots.

Just like he cancelled the original captain of the guard and appointed Dota as the captain of the guard.

Only the [Apostle] made Roman feel at ease.

When Dota became the captain of the guard, his [relationship] with Roman increased sharply.

From the initial 10%, to the current 60%.

Although not as good as Green and Aaron's 70% to 80%.

But it is still considerable.

It is worth mentioning that Seth and his [Relationship] have now broken through the 80% mark, approaching 90%.

Roman found the apostle named Talma whom he recruited for the sixth time.

He was just an ordinary farmer.

His stats and skills were not as good as those of Barro, the son of Matthew.

Roman did not entrust him with important tasks, but let him go.

Even so, Talma and his [Relationship] gradually increased from the initial 10% to about 20%.

Because the information is limited at present.

So Roman can only roughly understand [Relationship] as... the apostle's loyalty to him, or favorability, trust, intimacy, etc.

Probably because Roman improved their treatment, Talma's trust in him increased.

This can also reflect the apostles' views on Roman.

And the source of the apostles is Roman's subjects.

In the past, Roman did not continue to recruit after the initial recruitment.

Mainly because... how many talents can appear in a town with a population of 2,000?

Roman thought that the one with the highest potential star rating was Gweiler, followed by four-star Aaron and three-star Green.

The latter two were the knights he brought from the Grand Dukedom and could not be counted.

It was a blessing for Sige Town to have a Gweiler - Roman almost fought with Shasta for her - he only now knew that guy almost killed the sixth-level Dawn Knight, and now thinking about it, his back was a little cold.

The number of raw stones used for recruitment exceeded 10,000.

According to the normal accumulation process, including the milestone reward of [Story of Life].

Roman should have 9,780 raw stones now!

However, because a piece of magic ore was dug in the middle, a small part of the magic ore remained after making holy salt, and Roman converted it into 800 raw stones. That is, 10,580 raw stones.

This number is enough for him to recruit 68 apostles.

However, the pool in Sige Town is too shallow.

If the pool is full of one-star apostles, it will be useless, mainly because there is no training value.

He has no extraordinary resources now, and he can't improve the skills and attributes of the apostles.

These low-level apostles can't even support him to launch a small-scale expedition.

These more than 400 slaves barely expanded the recruitment pool.

Roman is ready to launch a second recruitment.

He didn't do it right away, but waited until all the slaves' weak bodies recovered.

Roman thought that this might help with shipment.

Three days later, under his order, all the slaves were gathered on the lawn of the Origin Manor.

He wanted to select some talented people from this group of slaves, either to be sent to the army or to work as blacksmiths, and those with strong wills would be arranged to be reserve managers.

Forty guards straightened their posture and asked them to stand in a row.

After waiting for a few minutes.

A square formation with 20 people in a horizontal row and 21 people in a vertical row appeared in front of Roman.

Dota shouted: "No one is allowed to speak! Stand upright! Don't move!"

Roman sat on a wide chair. He sat in a very bold posture, with a big horse and a golden sword. He put his arms on the armrests, leaned his body sideways, and stared into the void.

To outsiders, he was a little absent-minded.

The slaves didn't know what the lord wanted them to do.

They had undoubtedly received great preferential treatment in the past few days.

There were three meals a day, and the food fell into their stomachs, but their hearts were lifted up.

And today probably determined their future fate.

Many slaves secretly swore that no matter what the lord asked them to do, they would rush to do it and do their best to ensure their future treatment.

…

After many days, Roman conducted the second recruitment of apostles.

The gray pool was flickering with dense and weak starlight.

Compared to the initial recruitment, the number of starlights has increased.

Roman was actually nervous.

You know, he has been able to do everything with ease these days.

He took a deep breath.

It was not like the first recruitment, where he could only draw cards one by one due to lack of resources.

This time he directly drew ten times in a row!

Swish! Swish! Swish! …

Ten weak starlights emerged from the pool and rushed up.

The momentum was like a comet attacking the moon, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
