Otherworld Management Manual

Zhang Feng really wanted to knock Caroline's little head.

Hongye City is so poor, even if he raises taxes, he can collect money!

Besides, he didn't make a one-shot deal, and he collected taxes, but he would definitely not do such a thing if he lost the hearts of the people.

"Okay, I already know about the situation, I will find a way, but I'm a little curious, why are you sure I have a way?"

Through the conversation, Zhang Feng has given up hope for these natives, and he still has to do it himself.

"Because you bought Hongye City, if you didn't make preparations in advance, as a shrewd nobleman, you wouldn't waste your money."

Caroline's blue eyes shone with wisdom.

The corners of Zhang Feng's mouth twitched. He didn't think so much when he bought it, it was just because he was rich.

"I haven't got to know Hongye City well yet, I'm going to go shopping, do you want to come together?"

Zhang Feng stood up and asked.

"certainly."

Opening the gate, Marlowe Knight stood straight outside.

In fact, Zhang Feng really wanted to study Marlowe's shiny knight armor, which looked so cool. But after all, he was not very familiar with it, so he didn't have the nerve to speak. If he was ordered to take off his armor as the city lord, it would feel a little weird.

Two soldiers led the way, Marlowe Knight followed closely behind, Caroline was half a step behind Zhang Feng, and the group swaggered around Hongye City.

Today's Red Leaf City is obviously very different from when Zhang Feng came here. The market area is empty and there are almost no people.

There are a lot fewer Ollies on the street. If someone opens the way, as long as you don't run around, you don't have to worry about stepping on landmines.

Zhang Feng knows that it's not that the quality of these people has improved, but that there are fewer people and less excrement.

The Red Leaf Hotel, which impressed Zhang Feng deeply and is known as the largest in Red Leaf City, has long been empty.

Almost the entire business district is in this state.

"Huh? What is this for? There are still many people?"

Zhang Feng suddenly discovered that there were still many people staying in the northern fringe area of ​​the business district.

But before he got here, Zhang Feng smelled an indescribable smell, which made him unable to open his eyes.

Did this fucker go to the toilet?

"Report to my lord, these are the places where cattle and slave traders gather."

The muffled voice of the Marlowe knight came from the helmet.

"Slaves? Are there any slaves in our city?"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised.

Slaves are the lowest level of human beings in this world. Many people don’t even regard slaves as human beings, because slaves have no rights. Their bodies do not belong to them. The master can torture, humiliate or even kill them at will. The things produced by slaves include Their children are also owned by the master.

From Zhang Feng's point of view, Hongye City is very poor. Everyone has little money. Is there a market for slave trade?

"Yes, there are quite a few slaves in our city. It is very troublesome for these slave traders to transport slaves. Many slaves will die on the way, so they don't want to leave. If Hongye City can't solve the trouble, they will probably leave these slaves and drive alone."

The arrival of Zhang Feng and others immediately made the eyes of these slave traders brighten. They were like cats that smelled fishy, ​​and they trotted to Zhang Feng's side full of expectations.

"Dear Lord, please allow me to kiss your shoes to express my respect for you."

Seeing these stinky slave traders lying at his feet, even wanting to move his mouth, Zhang Feng was so disgusted that he quickly took two steps back. Marlowe was also very colorful, and immediately stepped forward. The knight's sword was unsheathed, and the blade The cold light that appeared calmed down the mind of the slave trader a lot.

"How many slaves do you have unsold?"

Zhang Feng asked while covering his nose.

"Reporting to Lord City Master, all of us add up, and there are probably more than a hundred slaves in our hands."

"so much!"

Zhang Feng was a little surprised. Now the entire Hongye City didn't know if there were a thousand people, but they still had more than a hundred slaves.

"Didn't you count these slaves when you counted people?"

Zhang Feng turned around and asked Caroline.

"These slaves are the private belongings of the slave merchants. They are responsible for the food of these slaves themselves. Naturally, we will not count them."

Caroline explained in a low voice.

"Then if these merchants finally give up their slaves and leave by themselves, how will you treat these slaves?"

Zhang Feng asked a tricky question.

"Ah I……"

Caroline was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. The Marlowe knight standing in front also heard Zhang Feng's words, and his eyes were a little pensive.

Although she didn't say it out loud, under the influence of the feudal system for many years, in her heart, slaves are probably not considered human beings.

If Zhang Feng didn't ask, she would naturally ignore the issue of slaves' survival.

But when Zhang Feng asked, she also felt that it would be too cruel to let the slaves fend for themselves, but this is the fate of the slaves. Abandoning them by the master means their death...

For a while, Caroline fell into self-entanglement and doubt.

Seeing this, Zhang Feng snickered a little, he did it on purpose.

He doesn't want to change these rules of the foreign world, and he has no ability to change them, because he has vested interests.

But people's thinking can jump out first. If Zhang Feng wants to manage Hongye City, there must be many modern people's methods. If they still have the old-fashioned thinking before, it may be half the effort for Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng ignored her and asked the slave trader directly.

"What's the price for these slaves?"

If a city wants to develop, the most inseparable thing is people. Zhang Feng never thinks there are too many people.

"Ah! Dear Lord City Master, if you are the one who buys these slaves, I am willing to sell them to you at the price of fifty copper coins per person! Usually, this slave can be sold for one silver coin!"

Fifty copper coins are half a silver coin. Zhang Feng glanced at Marlowe Knight, and Marlowe Knight immediately gave him a positive look, indicating that the price was okay.

"Okay, I want it all."

"Huh? You want them all?"

The slave traders couldn't believe it. They couldn't be more aware of the current situation in Hongye City. They didn't expect that the city lord had spare money to buy so many slaves. They even worried that the city lord would set them up for a trap. , White wolf with empty gloves?

"Are you going to buy all these slaves?"

Caroline also came back to her senses at this time, with a complex expression on her face. Rationally speaking, he didn't want Zhang Feng to buy slaves, but he thought that if Zhang Feng didn't buy them, these slaves would probably die in a few days. , she felt a little unbearable.

"As humans, I don't want to see them die in front of me."

Zhang Feng directly took out a gold coin and tossed it gently, the eyeballs of those slave traders moved up and down with the gold coin.

"One gold coin, all slaves belong to me, is there a problem?"

"No no! No questions!"

"Long live the city lord!"

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your generosity!"

All the slave traders were excited. Although the 50 copper coins were lower than the market price, they could still earn some money. This was much more cost-effective than they expected, and it was much more cost-effective to abandon these slaves!

"Bring people out first, I'm sure there is no problem, the gold coins are yours."
