Chapter 37 Buying New Slaves

Matchlock, flintlock.

These two things are no longer weapons of the same era. The flintlock was produced at least a hundred years after the birth of the matchlock.

The matchlock gun creatively uses a trigger with a match rope. By pulling the trigger, the match rope is moved to the position of the gunpowder, and then the gunpowder is directly ignited to fire the bullet.

This way, there is no need to count down the 30 or 10 seconds!

There is a characteristic here, that is, because the mechanism of the match rope is relatively large, pulling the trigger will cause the gun body to partially shake.

Moreover, loading gunpowder is very troublesome.

So, along comes the flintlock.

Put the projectile and gunpowder together, fire the gunpowder directly through the trigger, and fire the bullet directly with a slight trigger!

Chen Yongying's expression was a little excited.

This is almost a technological leap!

[Option 1: Standard matchlock gun. 】

[Resources required to unlock: 50 tons of wood. 】

[Option 2: Standard flintlock gun. 】

[Resources required to unlock: 200 tons of wood. 】

200 tons of wood!

The trees here are basically more than a ton each. They are all hundreds of years old, so it only takes more than ten days to cut them all down.

It can be done!

"Then what this option means is..." Chen Yongying understood.

This is equivalent to skipping the technology of the standard matchlock gun and going directly to the flintlock gun.

Three years later, the blueprints for the matchlock gun will be sent over. This is equivalent to jumping technology, except that with the flintlock gun, the blueprint for the matchlock gun is no longer needed.

"I choose two!"

"Just get the flintlock gun!" Chen Yongying made a decision immediately.

【Ding! 】

[Selection completed! 】

[Current Unlocked Mission: Standard Flintlock Gun]

[Resources required: 16.29 tons/200 tons of wood]

[Note: Other resources can be used to fill it. If it is detected that the host has used wood multiple times, wood will be automatically converted into resource units in the future. 】

[Grenadier grenade drawings have been distributed! 】

A brochure instantly appeared in Chen Yongying's mind. It looked like a round grenade. It was probably the kind of small round explosive fireworks that were set off during the Chinese New Year. It had a metal shell and a rope with gunpowder on it. , it can explode directly if it is ignited and thrown out.

Of course, you still need to understand and learn before you can make it.

"Are you ready?" Yang Heng walked over and asked.

Chen Yongying nodded: "Well, go back to sleep."

"Yang Heng, please stay vigil tonight. Call me after midnight."

Yang Heng had no objection.

The vigil is carried out by three people in turns. We can't let these people from the Stick Gang do the vigil, right?

Chen Yongying was still on guard against these people. Even the beds were far away. The reason for keeping vigil was not only to guard against possible dangers from outside, but also because of these eight people.

"When the fence is repaired..."

"You still have to buy slaves." Chen Yongying gradually had a plan in mind.

Harvesting loyal slaves and turning them into a force that supports him is Chen Yongying's expansion plan. Unless these ordinary civilians really can't survive, they still don't have the courage to resist the government.

What he wants is someone who can point his gun at the government.

Early the next morning, Chen Yongying set off with Huang Yingxiong.

Huang Yingxiong is more familiar with Linjiang Agricultural Area, and it is more convenient to take him with him.

As for others, they will naturally continue to complete their pioneering work.

Cut down trees, build traps to defend against wild beasts, transform the original 20-square-meter base into a sentry tower, cap the top to prevent possible attacks, expand the fence, and strengthen the fence.

With the four trees as the center, it slowly expanded outward.

Chen Yongying's plan is to slowly expand his territory in a fortress situation.

It can be slow, but it must be steady.

In this process, the donkey bought played a very important role.

This donkey can uproot planed tree stumps, which can significantly improve work efficiency.

Chen Yongying walked to the slave market, while Huang Yingxiong stood beside him, looking a little shy.

"what happened?"

Huang Yingxiong shook his head, indicating that nothing happened.

Chen Yongying didn't ask any questions and walked straight into the slave market.

This is also a dilapidated house, and it even has air leakage. Inside, there are also various cages stacked up, but there are fewer slaves in the cages, only about a dozen or so.

"Buy a slave?" The owner of the slave market yawned and stood up.

"Yeah." Chen Yongying nodded.

"See for yourself, it's 22,000 for a man and 11,000 for a woman."

"Five thousand for children."

The price is a bit more expensive than Jiangcheng.

But this is normal. Except for locally produced specialties, everything in small places is often more expensive than in cities. The cost of living in rural areas is low because food and rent are low. If you go out to buy industrial products, it is much more expensive than in cities.

Chen Yongying looked at it carefully.

There were about ten people in total, seven or eight young and strong men, and two or three female slaves, and the female slaves were all accompanied by children.

"Well..." Chen Yongying hesitated.

My current capital is only 18. If I buy one with children, it is obviously not very cost-effective.

But in the camp, there must be women responsible for cooking and washing.

Just when Chen Yongying hesitated, the boss came over.

"Little brother, if you want to buy a slave to cook and wash, this woman is good. She just gave birth to a child. After confinement, her milk is sufficient and she can still play. She is young and energetic, and she is only twenty years old." The boss smiled cheerfully.

"If you, mother and son, buy it together, you can take it away with you directly for 15,000 yuan!"

Chen Yongying carefully looked at the female slave the boss mentioned just now: "Huh?"

The clothes on her body were scattered, and she was holding a child of four or five years old beside her.

"I just gave birth to a child, has he grown so big?" Chen Yongying asked.

"Of course not, because that girl disturbed my sleep. I had just finished playing cards and lost money and was so angry that I threw her to death." The male boss said nonchalantly.

"Damn, I regret this so much."

"A third-generation slave that was sold directly could be sold for a thousand yuan, but I used it as a punching bag and threw it to death."

"What a fucking shame!"

"Oh, this is this woman's first baby, and it has been raised."

"I...my child..." The woman's hair was disheveled and she said blankly.

Even though he looked a little stupid like that, he still raised his head.

She knew that she could only escape from this master if she was bought.

The next owner may not be so good...

But, it’s better than staying here!

This master is hell!

Chen Yongying's face turned dark instantly.

A hint of discomfort flashed across Huang Yingxiong's face, and he quickly retreated.

And the boss still looked indifferent.

Chen Yongying breathed out slowly: "Okay."

"These two men, and this woman."

"Check out."

"Also, wrap me the body of the child you killed by wrapping it in linen. I will take it away."

The boss quickly calculated the total price: "Total 5.9!"

"It fell the day before yesterday. The body is still in the sewer waiting for the guards to deal with it."

"You, take this linen cloth and go and wrap your child up."

The boss subconsciously wanted the woman to get it herself.

Chen Yongying said seriously: "She is already mine, you let your people get it."

There is no other way, the boss can only ask one of his slaves to pick it up.

Soon, after completing the procedures, Chen Yongying gained four slaves, three large and one small.

The woman was holding her child who died shortly after birth, with tears in her eyes: "I...my baby."

"what……"

Chen Yongying exhaled slowly:

"Wait till we get to the camp,"

"Have a good burial."

"I give you permission to see him."
