Chapter 113 Nobles Never Disappear

The price of a silver coin and a slave is obviously high.

So, Liu Chuanli bought a thousand Hindustan slaves for the price of two silver coins and three slaves.

Out of his always cautious principle, he only wanted those slaves who could dance. As for those slaves who had only one breath left, Liu Mingliang had no interest in them.

Then, Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli saw that Captain Santos, who had just left the harbor, began to order the execution of slaves who could not bring him profits.

The method was very barbaric, slitting the necks of the slaves one by one.

A large amount of plasma surged on the deck, and then a sailor used a hand pump to pump seawater to the deck and began to clean the deck. The plasma was dyed red and the seawater flowed out of the anchor port like a waterfall. A large area of ​​​​the sea turned red.

After a while, the dorsal fins of sharks appeared on the sea, and the sailors threw the bodies into the sea.

Liu Chuanli put down the telescope in his hand and said to Zhang Mingliang: "They really don't regard these slaves as human beings."

Zhang Mingliang said: "Tools that can talk."

"After all, Leonie is one of our own, and I don't want her to become this kind of person."

Liu Chuanli is still a little worried about Leonie's transformation.

Zhang Mingliang said: "This is the only advantage that can surpass us, and she will not give up."

The planting site is not far from Binhai City, and it only takes a day's journey by horse-drawn carriage.

It could have been faster because Liu Chuanli wanted to see the established palm groves and sugar cane fields.

I have to say that the vast palm groves are quite interesting, because the palm trees here are all artificially planted. After the equidistant palm trees spread out their huge leaves, they The entire land was covered tightly.

Some palm fruits are ripe and hanging in bunches on the trees. Each bunch of palm fruits weighs fifty kilograms. After being cut off by the slaves with long-handled hook knives, they are then cut into pieces. Whole bunches of palm fruits are carried away on bullock carts.

The palm fruits will eventually be transported to a large house, where the remaining slaves, under the supervision of the overseer, use thin machetes to chop off the palm fruits attached to the branches and throw them into Steam in a large iron pot.

Finally, these steam-fumigated soft palm fruits are wrapped in linen cloth and placed in piles on the huge wooden oil pressing trough, and then by continuously stuffing wooden wedges into the gaps, Finally, the purpose of squeezing out oil is achieved.

There is actually nothing wrong with this work process, except that the slaves who operate these processes now wear thin iron chains.

The feet of the slaves who were responsible for cutting down the palm fruits with hook knives were bound by iron chains within a small radius of movement. The slaves who were responsible for carrying the palm fruits had one heel and one hand. Bound by an iron chain, he could only maintain a rickety carrying posture. As for driving an ox cart to transport palm trees, he could only maintain a rickety posture.There is an iron chain between Guo's slaves and the bullock cart, and the people and the bullock cart are one.

As for the slaves holding machetes to separate palm fruits, and the slaves responsible for extracting oil, their legs are also fixed in one place.

"Before, these people could move freely without chains."

Zhang Mingliang took a quick look and noticed the difference.

Liu Chuanli said: "The number of guards is small."

Zhang Mingliang remained silent.

The sugar cane forest is nothing interesting. The sugar cane grown here is all green sugar cane. At this time, the sugar cane is not mature yet, and only some shackled slaves are watering it.

There are more people in the Tears Forest. The slaves in the forest are fertilizing the Tears Tree and burying some plant ash under the roots of the tree.

It took Liu Chuanli half a day to walk from the palm grove to the tear grove to Zhang Mingliang.

Looking at these lush artificially grown crops, Zhang Mingliang sighed and said to Liu Chuanli: "Do you believe it? Tens of thousands of people have died here because of these things."

No When Liu Chuanli answered, he heard Leonie's voice from behind: "I don't like people from Hindustan."

Zhang Mingliang looked back at Leonie who was standing on the bamboo building and said, "No There is no other choice."

Leoni had no unnecessary expression on her face and just said to the two of them: "Come up and have a cup of hot cocoa."

Liu Chuanli said: "Let's drink. Tea."

After that, he walked up to the bamboo building with Zhang Mingliang.

Obviously, this bamboo building was built recently. The bamboo building made of bamboo is still emerald green, and it creaks when people walk on it.

"It's better to drink some hot cocoa. It's going to rain soon. Although this stuff is a bit bitter, it can cheer you up. In a barbaric place, we'd better follow the rules of the barbarians. This way you can live longer."

The bitter water that Leonie brought was actually not bitter. After adding sugar and milk, it became a different flavor.

"Even if our Emperor is not good at governing the country, as long as he has the ability to turn bitter water into the best drink, I, Leonie, will be willing to go through life and death for him."

Leoni pretended not to understand Zhang Mingliang's pun. He picked up a cup of hot cocoa and took a sip slowly, then pointed at the forest of tears in front of him and asked Zhang Mingliang: "Is it better than when you were here?"

Zhang Mingliang nodded and said: "It's better than when I was here. There is much more order now."

Leoni said: "The output has increased by more than 30%."

Liu Chuanli said: "This is all due to you."

Leoni said: "There will be no more wars here within the foreseeable two years, so if you want to get credit, you can only do some hard work."

Liu Chuanli said: "Did your father tell you?"

Leoni nodded and said: "Yes, my father is very supportive of me serving under the Lantian Imperial Court."

Zhang Mingliang glanced at Leoni and said, "Have you reconciled with your father?"

Leonie puffed up her chest and said, "My poor brothers don't have the courage to leave Amsterdam and come here to work. I My father thought it was impossible for them to inherit his career, so he wanted to try his best to support me."

Liu Chuanli smiled bitterly: "Do you believe it?"

Leoni said with a smile. : "I don't believe a word of it. My mother once told me that when my father started to get close to someone, it was the time when he was ready to kill that person.

By the way, My mother died after having sex with my father."

Leonie spoke and made a gesture of breaking her neck.

"Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Zhang Mingliang found it difficult to understand.

Leonie smiled and said: "My maid saw it. She was also in bed at the time. She took advantage of my father to kill my mother and ran away to my room, begging me to protect her... "

Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli picked up their cups and drank hot cocoa in unison. This stuff will solidify when it gets cold.

When His Majesty got the cocoa beans, it took half a day to turn those cocoa beans into cocoa powder. After adding milk and sugar, the cocoa powder turned into an extremely delicious consistency. drinks.

Zhang Mingliang and Liu Chuanli don't like sweets very much, and hot cocoa is a sweet and greasy drink, so they both drank it with a frown.

"Aren't you curious about what happened to that maid?"

Leonie asked with a smile, staring at her big beautiful eyes.

Zhang Mingliang smiled and said: "I guess you must have sent that poor maid away."

Leoni nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's true."< /p>

Liu Chuanli picked up the cocoa cup and clinked it with Leonie’s cup and said, “Congratulations.”

Leoni looked at Liu Chuanli mockingly and said, “Congratulations, I still have a little more. Human nature?"

Liu Chuanli shook his head and said: "Congratulations on joining the Lantian Imperial Court, you have escaped from an extremely perverted world."

Leoni smiled. Said: "I want to become a noble, a real noble. If I can't become a noble, I will feel that my life is not in my hands. Therefore, no matter what kind of task it is, I will definitely accept it, as long as I can make meritorious deeds."

Zhang Mingliang shook his head and said: "The Lantian Imperial Court has abolished the nobility, and your wish cannot be realized."

Leoni smiled and said: "How can there be no nobility in this world? ? Even if the nobles are deposed by our majesty, the nobles still exist, just like the three of us now.

On the surface, we are just officials, but we can sit on this beautiful bamboo. Drinking in the buildingHot cocoa, watching the coming downpour, while those people were busy working.

We can decide the life and death of those people. In this sense, we are nobles. "

As soon as Leonie finished speaking, the sound of spring silkworms biting mulberry leaves came from outside the main building.

A rain curtain appeared on the palm forest at the end of the horizon, and then soon It spread quickly, and the sound of spring silkworms biting mulberry leaves soon turned into the sound of rain.

The slaves who were fixed in place stood in the heavy rain, watching numbly. A tall bamboo building.

There was a sound of gongs, and the overseers in raincoats untied the chains on the slaves and drove them into the simple wooden houses to take shelter from the rain.

“Our Majesty is a truly ruthless person... He is also an extremely greedy person. I don’t believe he doesn’t know what is happening here, but he needs the tear tree and the palm tree. , we need sugar cane forest, so just pretend we can’t see it.

His Majesty like this is the person worthy of our following. My father once said that ambition and passion are never bad things. As long as there is ambition and passion, people will always be successful. I will move forward step by step and never feel tired.

If such a person stays where he is, he will get nothing. Only by always moving forward can he get new things that he likes.

These new and strange things will inspire his desire to explore the unknown. Therefore, our empire will always move forward and explore forever until it embraces the entire earth.

Zhang Mingliang, I look down on you because you have no ambition or passion in your heart. People like you are not worthy of following His Majesty to explore the unknown and achieve final success.

If you can’t do it, then I will!

Although my skin color is different from yours, my heart is the same as yours. In this regard, I am purer than you. ”
