Siheyuan: The Happy Life of Li Xiaoshi

Chapter 158
After the nobleman left, Li Xiaoshi came to the manor.

"Meet the Master"

An old man at the head immediately knelt down.

Looking at these people, Li Xiaoshi found that all of them had tattered clothes, sallow and emaciated faces, and their hair was like straw.

"What's your situation?"

"Return to the lord, the concubines and others were transferred to you by the former lord."

Li Xiaoshi somewhat understood that these should be the slaves transferred to him together, but there were too many of them.

"How many do you have?"

"Back to my lord, there are a total of 610 people including my concubines and others."

Li Xiaoshi took a look and found that there were only adults, and those children were not here.

"Are you literate?" He looked at the old man.

"The concubine can read."

"From now on, these people are in your charge."

"Thank you, Lord!"

"What's your name?"

"Go back to the Lord, and ask the Lord to give you a name."

"Your name is Li Cai."

"Thank you, Lord."

"Don't call me that. You will call me Master in the future, and they will do the same."

"Yes, sir."

At first, I thought that there was no manpower available, but now that it's better, I can use it.

Under Li Cai's guidance, Li Xiaoshi came to the warehouse. Sure enough, all the things left in it were things that couldn't be moved.

"You are doing one thing now. Organize young and strong people. I want to form a guard team. The number will be 500 people. If it is not enough, you can go to the slave market to buy it for me."

"Master, slaves in the city are worthless now. As long as there is food, you can get as much as you want, and many of them are prostitutes."

Li Xiaoshi said: "What I need is someone who is loyal to me, do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, master."

Li Xiaoshi didn't know whether this Li Cai could do it, and now he didn't have anyone available, so he could only use it first.

After driving Li Cai to work, Li Xiaoshi took out the bags of grain from the space.

In modern society it is not easy to take out, but now it is a good place, you can use these grains to do something.

Not only food, Li Xiaoshi also took out all the building materials he received.

Looking at the situation here, Li Xiaoshi took out another excavator.

With the ability of mechanical proficiency, there is no problem in operation.

Around the core area, Li Xiaoshi started the excavator and started digging there.

Seeing Li Xiaoshi operating the excavator, all the slaves in the manor were shocked.

Seeing them like this, Li Xiaoshi would not tell them anything superstitious. He said that he could communicate with gods, which was a treasure borrowed from heaven.

Now the slaves were even more afraid to say anything.

Li Xiaoshi also found a few women who used to be nobles in their families and later committed crimes, and asked them to organize the female slaves.

Some slaves were organized by Li Xiaoshi to help break the wall.

Now seeing that the Qin army is coming, Li Xiaoshi wants to build this place into a fortress of war, but he doesn't believe it. With so many weapons, he is still afraid of the arrival of the Qin army.

While doing things here, Li Cai came back with hundreds of young and strong slaves.

Seeing the operation of the excavator, Li Xiaoshi didn't need to say anything, and the new slaves were all in awe.

After selecting a few young people and training them, Li Xiaoshi got out a few excavators and let them operate them around the manor.

Not only excavators, but also machinery such as piles of earth and rocks were taken out.

It has to be said that slaves are also people with strong learning ability, and soon there are several people who can operate independently.

After digging deeply, Li Xiaoshi went to the river, loaded a large number of large rocks into the space and got here.

After everyone mixed the concrete, they added those big stones and put them into the foundation.

The slaves were completely stunned now, and their sense of awe towards Li Xiaoshi was growing day by day.

Fortunately, this manor is also far away from Ji City, so no one will know what is going on here at all. The slaves do know, but they are controlled here and they have emphasized not to leak the matter. Therefore, for the time being, it is not allowed to happen. Someone will find out what's going on here.

After teaching everyone to build walls, with a lot of concrete and stones, and with the astonishingly strong help of Li Xiaoshi, the speed of building walls is astonishing.

The life of the slaves is also very good now, with three meals a day, all of which they have never eaten before.

Li Cai now brings many people back every day.

Although everyone knew that a large number of slaves were purchased, they did not care. After all, the Qin army was advancing very fast, and everyone was thinking about how to survive.

Seeing that they were able to work alone, Li Xiaoshi finally had time to drill the five hundred slave soldiers.

I have to say that the current slaves are really easy to manage, as long as they have food, they can be loyal to Li Xiaoshi.

Some of these soldiers are the original soldiers, and they only need a short time to be able to train.

Naturally, Li Xiaoshi couldn't really trust them completely. There were many medicines in elixirs that could control people.

Li Xiaoshi also prepared some medicine secretly for the slaves to eat.

Now there is no need to worry about loyalty issues.

In one place, Li Xiaoshi taught them how to use modern weapons.

The weapons that Li Xiaoshi took out frightened the slaves again. Now they knew that Li Xiaoshi was a heavenly being, so it was impossible for them to betray Li Xiaoshi.

All kinds of weapon professors, and then, after seeing the tall fortress protecting the village, Li Xiaoshi began to instruct everyone how to fight there.

Five hundred people would definitely not work, and Li Xiaoshi had a lot of supplies, so Li Cai secretly negotiated with many big nobles who were about to flee, and exchanged some glass and other things for a large number of their slaves.

Soon, the number of slaves here in Li Xiaoshi skyrocketed to tens of thousands.

If it is an ordinary person, even if there are so many slaves, they will not be able to support them. Li Xiaoshi has no such pressure now. Without food and so on, he can go to the modern society to get it.

At this time, Li Xiaoshi also discovered that many of the slaves were criminals and their families were punished as slaves, and many of them were educated. Therefore, it is really possible to find some educated people among the slaves.

With these cultural people helping to manage, there will be no more problems here.

Li Xiaoshi also built houses for the slaves, and each family could live together. Li Xiaoshi was still so kind to the slaves, which made almost all the slaves loyal to Li Xiaoshi.
