Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

Field drew a line on the drawing: "I originally wanted to build across the river and distribute the east and west warehouses on both sides of the river. This way, supplies can be transported directly by water, and fire fighting is also convenient. However, this design is meaningless for the time being, because the water in the river Corrupted fish will come ashore and beat people up.”

Everyone was shocked.

Isn't the warehouse just a small, square room?

"Yes, my lord, your design is simply...I can't describe it."

"Haha, don't talk about these useless things. I also hope you can improve it. I will reward you with gold coins."

After setting a rough construction period, the craftsmen set off immediately.

After sending the craftsmen away, Field arranged for Asuna to go to Starry Night City again for reconnaissance, while he was busy handling the accumulated government affairs.

After one month out, two hundred and seven slaves earned one gold coin, half of whom were soldiers. Almost all the soldiers were freed from slavery and became free citizens. The other half are people who work hard in farming, or do manual labor such as quarrying and logging.

After receiving back the ransom fee of two hundred gold coins, Field was in a good mood. He scanned the list and discovered the problem: "The people who became freedmen were all men, and there were almost no women. Then there would be no children, and men with nowhere to vent their energy. It’s easy to get into trouble.”

Field rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Since men have good physical strength and work hard, they naturally have an advantage.

"Otherwise, lower the ransom standard for women and children." This idea flashed through his mind, but was rejected by Field, "No, favoring one party is harming the other party. The original price was set for a gold coin The standards should not be changed randomly.”

In fact, there are many hidden benefits for female slaves. For example, men and women are deliberately managed separately, and women have jobs to help cook and mend clothes.

There are now too many slaves and production efficiency is too low. It is imperative to reduce the slave population.

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Field dipped his quill in ink and read as he wrote: "That's it, as long as both the freedmen and the slaves agree, the freedmen can spend double the price to help the slaves escape from their place of origin. ”

As for the agreement they reached in private, the territory will be a witness.

"Of course, we cannot escape the constraints of the law. Illegal activities such as loan sharking are absolutely not allowed."

Field estimated that few enemies would redeem slaves, but he gave both parties something to look forward to.

“There is no perfect strategy that can solve all problems once and for all.”

It was Field who understood this, took a sip of tea, snapped his fingers, and the corrupted black crow rushed out of the window and flew into the sky.

"You have to patrol the territory regularly."

On the other side, Tate ended his speech, preaching something concise and to the point: loyalty to the lord and hard work.

After speaking, Tate allowed the slaves to eat and wait in line.

Anwei's eyes were glancing around. He held half a piece of black bread in his left hand and a bowl of soup with vegetable leaves floating in his right hand.

"It's like pig food at this time. Hey, if it hadn't been for Miss Fronny's order, I would rather go to the underground dance to clean up the corpses than come to this ghost place. You can't let me pretend to be a craftsman, and how can I be a slave? being doubted."

Thinking of Fronni's addictive figure, which rewarded him more than a dozen times, Anvi felt as if he had "skated on ice", and his whole body was on fire.

Simon's chosen one, Fronne, promised him that if he got the formula, he could become her regular companion. Only Anwei, a well-known gutter rat, was willing to lurk into the crisis-ridden Northern Province.

Looking at the slaves around him, each and every one of them devoured the black bread and the vegetable soup, and even licked their fingers, Anvi's mouth curled up, and he wanted to vomit.

"Oh! Where is that damn Happy Bean? Your Excellency sends a team of knights to kill Field directly. It's obviously much easier." Anwei was filled with resentment. "However, Your Excellency must have underestimated Field. This guy actually has a divine choice. "When I find a way to get out of here, I'll report it to you, and maybe I can get a good chance."

When Field fought his way back to the territory, Tisifa dispersed the gray mist all the way, and all the slaves saw it. But it's useless to know, they can't escape the gray fog.

"Wow, you spilled the vegetable soup, Xigou, you don't want to drink it, let me drink it."

The strong slave on the side took Anwei's soup directly and drank it.

Before he had even had a few sips, the veteran guard from Ye Mu came striding over and knocked the strong man over with one punch. He dragged the strong man out like a dead dog, and then, in full view of everyone, the guards whipped him five times.

Several slaves around, who were obviously the strong man's partners, showed displeasure when they saw him being beaten.

"This is a breakthrough."

Anwei licked the corners of his mouth and immediately had an idea.

Soon, Tate divided the slaves into dozens of small groups and labeled them with numerical serial numbers. Slaves were busy building temporary huts, logging, and farming.

After finding the burly slave who had been beaten violently, Anvi approached him, ignoring the ferocious look in his eyes. Seeing that there was no one around, Anvi directly put his half piece of black bread into the burly man's hand.

"you..."

The strong man was dumbfounded and looked up and down at the ugly but sickly white Anvi: "My name is Black Bear, what do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I just want to say something." Anwei said in a bewitching tone, "There is no way out if you work for the lord for a lifetime, and you are still just a dog. Do you want to eat meat, do you want to hug women from left to right? ”

"We can't be a match for the Lord's guards. Look, they have the guys in their hands and their armor."

Although Anwei's eyes were fierce, he showed deep fear towards the guards: "Besides, nobles are all descendants of gods. The fact that he has gods choosing to help him is proof."

The fear of the nobles by the people at the bottom is engraved in their bones, especially in the Griffin Empire, which values ​​bravery. The nobles will kill ordinary people for fun if they have nothing to do.

"There are only a few soldiers, but there are more than a thousand of us. One person can drown them with just a spit of spit." Anwei smacked his lips. "As long as we control the granary and weapons depot, this is our territory. If we want to eat, we have to watch it." Our faces.”

"The most important thing is, I didn't say I wanted to kill the noble, just ignore him. Or kill the subordinates who helped him, such as the soldier captain and advisor. If he wants to control the slaves, he can only use you, who is prestigious."

"Hiss~"

Black Bear thought about it and nodded in approval: "That's true. I happen to have a few brothers. Originally, we were bandits and were captured as slaves. I have long been unhappy with others yelling at me."

The two chatted enthusiastically and had already begun to conceive of a bright future.

Little did he know that the black crow on the side had been listening for a long time.
