Chapter 140 The Second Wave of Dog Blood
The plastic case of the microphone snapped dangerously in Scar's hand.
"You said I have to pay for them?!"
Far East Magician's voice was unaffected by his anger, "Actually, money doesn't mean much to me."
"Then what do you want?"
"Regarding this aspect," Yun Shen said unhurriedly, "my request is very simple. The basic environment of THAAD's original site is too poor, and there are too few manpower for me to dispatch. I need at least [-] people." slave."
Scar snorted, "I can rent them to you for a month."
"I don't really like using things that are owned by someone else."
Scar said sarcastically, "Only by these few people? My property is not that cheap."
Yun Shen laughed over there, "Of course, in order to make the deal look fair, I will add a little more chips. In the battle for the throne of the Orc Empire after more than 20 years, a patriarch can be allowed to lead up to 200 warriors and Let’s go together, that’s fine——Chief Ska, how many people do you want to take to the imperial capital of Banlor? I will provide you with as many sets of fine steel full-body armor. I will also send people to take care of the follow-up maintenance and repairs. , the number of slaves you send to Sade must be increased to [-]."
Scar stuck for a while.
He originally only planned to bring 100 people up there.Sahir will occupy 50 of the [-] places, and the vacancies of [-] people are not due to Scar's self-confidence, but have a lot to do with the equipment.It can be said that there are very few werewolves who have never been out of the house, but they seldom really leave the tribe to go to other places. Even Ska only went once when he was summoned by the beast emperor when he was young, so in the meaning of the struggle for the throne Besides, wanting to take this opportunity to visit the largest and most prosperous city in the Orc Empire is also the natural thought of many young werewolves.
It is not impossible to enter the imperial capital wearing leather armor, but even Scar would feel shabby.However, even for the brave and fierce Bees knights, not every knight can equip the poor quality bronze armor, let alone the high-quality fine steel armor in the human kingdom.It's not that Sacher has no wealth to improve his own strength. The problem lies in the human trade blockade against the orcs.
So after hearing about the two hundred sets of fine steel armor, Scar had to stop for a while.As for the price of [-] slaves... The Far Eastern magician really said that if it is not bad for money, it is not bad for money.
"Barely cost-effective." Scar said, "I can squeeze out two thousand slaves for you. Can you send your fine steel full body armor before the end of May?"
"It's just a matter of when you need it." Yun Shen said.
"Are you ready?" Scar asked, he had a faint feeling that he had fallen into a pit.
"This was originally prepared for my people," the person on the other end replied in a tone that was almost casual, "but they don't need it anymore, so why waste my space by saving it?"
The expressions on the faces of the werewolves who were watching were a little bit exciting. If you don't want two hundred sets of fine steel armor, you don't want it, so you don't think it's a waste of space?On the contrary, those of the bereaved family looked calm, as if they were not the ones who were struggling with the problem of survival at least half a year ago.What the pharmacist was thinking about was another matter. Judging from the achievements of this magician leading the people of various tribes in the past six months, that calm and elegant black-haired young man was very good at using manpower and arranging A person with resources, so what kind of huge project is it that makes him think that there is not enough manpower and that he needs to buy slaves from Sachel?
Although he was very displeased with the personality of this Far Eastern magician who was obviously overpowering him, but what he provided was exactly what Sacher needed, so Scar quickly confirmed the deal.Due to the contractual relationship with the Far Eastern Artisan, before Li Hong left, he left behind the four young men who knew how to operate the two radio stations, and the rest brought some supplies from the werewolf trade. It took three days for the first batch of one thousand slaves to return to the settlement.
It's mid-April, and there is no trace of the cold and wet weather from a month ago in the air. The slaves who don't know their future fate tremblingly follow these black-haired devils around the green hills. It can be said that these three days After spending most of their time walking in the wild, they finally saw a real road, although it was only a day's width but only wide enough for two horses to run side by side.
After these selected slaves witnessed how the survivors tore up a live sheep with their bare hands, the werewolves also felt that it would be no problem to rely on only a dozen people to escort thousands of slaves, not to mention that a considerable part of these slaves is female.During this journey, there was indeed no situation that they could not cope with. When the sparkling light of the lake appeared in sight, Li Hong, who was standing at the front, sighed softly, with a happy expression on his face.
They are back.
Others showed similar expressions on their faces, but in just half a year, their feelings for this land may not be as deep as they are for their homeland, but they are already unshakable.The past is a memory, but here is the future.
The slaves looked at the scene in amazement. The people who took them away were immigrants from the land leased from Sachel. The slaves knew what they needed to do under the new masters. However, when they saw this piece of land that had already shown a rigorous planning prototype, they realized that the reality might be somewhat different from what they had imagined.
Crossing fields cut to nearly equal size by canals and ridges, the slaves were led to a clearing where someone was already waiting for them.
The huge iron pot was emitting white steam on the stove, and the unique smell of food permeated the air. After being ordered to line up to receive a clay bowl for each person, the slaves ate their first meal on the ground.Then the person who distributed their food just said something, and then someone came to ask everyone's name to record, and finally asked them to print their fingerprints under their names.
With the settlement project just beginning to be planned, the only shelter that could be provided for these slaves was simple huts, and they could only be built by themselves.The materials have been prepared nearby, and the slaves are assigned a place to live in batches. After receiving the materials, the supervisor will guide them how to build.This method of enslavement was novel to the slaves, and the black-haired demons were still terrifying, but it was undeniable that they were not strict masters.As for the Master Far East Sorcerer who is above everyone and rules everything, no slave thinks he is lucky enough to meet such a figure close to legend.
Although I come from a society that advertises equality and freedom, the biggest transaction I made after I came to this world was human trafficking. It is a bit ironic to say that.However, Yunshen doesn't have much time to think about these things. The construction of settlements is proceeding according to the plan one by one, and there are new problems to be solved every day, from basic technical guidance to the shortage of labor in front of us.
If it is just to reclaim the land, expand the scale of some basic production, and transfer unfavorable facilities like cement kilns and coke kilns, Yunshen may not need to increase the labor force, just slow down the construction speed, but there are The military training led by Fan Tianlan has already begun.Yun Shen was quite surprised by the enthusiasm of the young people to participate in it. Even though Fan Tianlan's training plan was quite strong and the method was very strict, none of the selected people flinched.
Although the training is not completely off-duty, there is indeed a relatively embarrassing situation in terms of young and middle-aged labor.Trading with Sachel was a long-awaited decision, but according to the price Yunshen knew, even if Sachel wanted to eat all the knight equipment in his hands, he would have to hesitate about money, and there was no point in bartering. Even more scarce resources, among the few objects available for consideration, "people" has become one of the first choices.
As for how to use these manpower, there is no need for Yunshen to make special arrangements for this. The person in charge of each project will apply to him on his own.Regarding the attitude towards slaves, although it has not been officially announced yet, in the previous meeting, Yun Shen has already explained to everyone that they have left the status of slaves since they left Sasheer, and they work for the settlement without payment Three years will be the price they paid for their freedom. Most people have no objection to this, and some people only think that the time can be extended for another year or two.
The cool breeze blows across the open fields, and the snow has melted so much that many jobs are in trouble. The season is long past, and the continuous and steady rise in temperature has prompted a large number of plants that dormant in winter, even after being handled by people and poultry. The rapid growth of various weeds still exceeds people's expectations.Crop seedlings transplanted from the greenhouse to the open ground were at a disadvantage in the competition at the beginning, requiring a lot of manpower to work in the field every day, but now they have established themselves with good root systems, looking around and looking around, full of vitality The vigorous and regular green has occupied most of the ground in the field of vision.
Yun Shen just came back from the construction site of the blast furnace. There was a light rain today, and the road surface was a bit muddy. The soft spring wind brought the smell of mud, water and plants to his black hair and calm eyebrows. Compared with half a year ago, Yun Shen looks almost unchanged from before.The short hair grew a little bit, but the increased length came from the first three months, after that, most of the growth activities that should be normal people on him stopped, the hair and nails no longer grow, although he still needs to eat , the injury will heal itself.
Fan Tianlan was walking beside him. Ever since he followed Yun Shen, he had a period of compensatory growth, but he still didn't grow more than two meters - although he was already tall enough.Compared with when we first met, he now looks taller and calmer, with a more mature and handsome face. Just looking at his appearance, it is hard to believe that he is just 20 years old.Even Yun Shen couldn't deal with his hair anymore, but these long hairs did not damage his handsome appearance, but instead added an indescribable temperament to his appearance.
like the mane of a beast.
Even the Tak people who didn't like being disciplined like their former patriarch would be involuntarily overwhelmed when facing Fan Tianlan. Others who are also survivors have learned not to compare with him anywhere. Youth is almost like another species, and among all people, the number of people who can get along with him as a natural equal can be counted on one hand.
As usual, the two talked about today's and tomorrow's work while walking. The straight road they walked through the entire basin was planned to be a 6-meter-wide slag-based steel track driveway, although it is still quite a long time before the blueprint becomes a reality. for a while.On the side of the road, there are many tall trees that were marked during the original planning, and they have survived to usher in their most beautiful time of the year in this season.While the bouquets on these trees aren't exactly gorgeous to look at alone, they're still a pleasing sight when they're fully grown.
The wet fragrance permeated the wind, and when he passed under one of the trees full of pink flowers, Yun Shen stopped in his tracks, and the patriarch of the Tongshan tribe was walking towards him from the opposite side.
"Master, you are back."
"Patriarch Tongshan," Yun Shen responded, "what's the matter?"
The fluttering petals were brought down by the wind, and many of them fell on people's bodies. Fan Tianlan raised his hand to wipe away the falling flowers that fell on his shoulders for Yun Shen.
Patriarch Tongshan hesitated for a moment, with an embarrassing expression on his old face, "Master, well, there is our tribe's Spring Flower Festival ceremony tonight, I think... can you come and see it?"
"Have you guys been preparing for this for a few days? I don't have any special arrangements for tonight, and I will participate in it then." Yun Shen smiled at him, similar festivals should be reported to Yun Shen before they start , so Yun Shen knew that this was a very important festival for the Tongshan people.
Fan Tianlan picked up a petal that fell on the end of Yunshen's hair, and stretched out the tip of her tongue to lick the thin and soft pink into it.Spring Festival?
So that night, when Yun Shen appeared at the festival celebration of the Tongshan tribe, Fan Tianlan stood by his side as usual.This kind of scene is already familiar to everyone, and it is not surprising that everyone is used to it. In addition to the Tongshan people who are training in the reserve service, they will go to greet him, and more people—mainly young girls, secretly watch from the sidelines. with him.
Yun Shen's affinity is obviously much higher than his. Since arriving, he has received no less than ten garlands or bouquets.To be more precise, the Spring Flower Festival should be called the Spring Flower Festival. People of the Tongshan nationality went to the nearby mountains to find open spring flowers and soft fresh branches during the daytime. They made natural decorations with these plants and wore garlands. , Putting on their best clothes, they gathered around the burning fire, and expressed their praise to the god of spring, their good expectations for life and their yearning for love with passionate songs and dances.
The focus of the festival is obviously on the last one.
Yun Shen, who didn't understand those songs, only understood the meaning of this festival when others explained to him. The person who explained to him this time was not Fan Tianlan, but Li Hong's son Luo Jiang.This young man, who hasn't turned white much after covering for three months in winter, will appear here to help out his friends who want to pursue the Tongshan girl.
The spring flowers are blooming, and the young people's love is about to begin.
The Spring Flower Festival of the Tongshan nationality is not only a social stage for young people of their own tribe, but also people of other tribes can boldly pursue their favorite objects at this time, so many people come to participate, and the fire is lit There were more than a dozen of them, and the singing and people were noisy. Although there was no wine to add to the fun, the air was sweet and intoxicating.
The Tongshan people, who have no expertise in other fields, have unique talents in dancing. Girls or young men with graceful dancing postures are very popular.As the most important guest here, Yun Shen not only had the biggest fire, but the young people dancing here were also very beautiful and energetic.One of the girls who braided her waist-length brown hair into small braids and put flowers on it was particularly eye-catching. Many people applauded her, but this girl's eyes fell on one place from time to time. .Not only her, many girls of the right age also paid attention to it like her.
Fan Tianlan's appearance is undoubtedly very eye-catching. Yun Shen has always been the focus of people's attention. Even Luo Jiang, who is dark-skinned, is also good-looking. Remarkable.It is not an exaggeration for these three to say that they attracted more attention than girls when they sat together. It might look even better if you add a Takla, but Takla, who is not interested in this, has already gone to the lake for night fishing. up.
The girl with long braids was gone. She walked up to the Tongshan patriarch and talked for a while, and then the Tongshan patriarch brought her here.
"Master, this is Yimel, the best girl in our clan, she..." Patriarch Tongshan coughed and turned to look at the girl.
Yimel walked forward shyly but generously, and said a series of words to Yun Shen in the tribal dialect. After Luo Jiang finished listening, he whispered to the somewhat dazed Yun Shen: "Master, Yimel said that tonight The time is just right, she took a bath and used the best dance to ask Spring God for a wish, and that wish can only be fulfilled for her by you."
"Just one night is enough, and she hopes to spend a good night with you."
