Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 26 26. Slaves
When the battle is over, it is natural to search for loot.The 15-year savings of a gang of robbers made Sir Tranis look forward to it very much.

At this moment, a knight came to ask for instructions: "My lord, there are nearly 328 unarmed women and children in the bandit group. How should I deal with it? Sir, please give me instructions."

Sir Tranis frowned, and said while thinking: "It's already autumn harvest now, keeping them is a waste of a year's grain, and no lord is likely to be willing to accept them. Let them stay here, I guess It won't be long before they are accepted by other gangs, and these children will surely become robbers when they grow up, and they will be a danger to the villages and towns of Wellington Territory.

Since this is the case, then kill them all, and eliminate future troubles forever! "Sir Tranis showed his consistent decisiveness and ruthlessness in killing, just like the death and attrition of the knights in front of him, not only did he not feel the slightest regret, but he directly whipped the knights who affected the army by many subordinates, and did not give up afterward. And authority, but as if nothing happened, keep doing what you should do.

The young knight showed a look of resentment, but he didn't dare to disobey Sir Tranis's order. The most important thing was that he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only nod his head and prepare to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Rose, who was resting aside, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, let me deal with this group of people. Our village is in the period of construction and development and needs a lot of labor. It's time to employ people."

Tranis looked at Ross in surprise, but he knew what Stan Village looked like.Even though Stan Village had an unprecedented bumper harvest this year, and was exempted from taxes by Eric, it only made the original villagers a little bit richer.

He read it right, the village has already taken in one or two hundred refugees, if they take in more than 300 people, life in Stan Village will go back to the old days when they didn't have enough to eat.The most important thing is that Ross is only an official and is not qualified to give these women the status of children, and can only be treated as refugees.

Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the convenience of no tax to let the villagers hire these refugees to plant more land?This is also a way, but don't think about it this year.

Then Sir Tranis turned his attention to Rose, looking at the unpredictable young man in front of him who shouldn't exist in a small village like Stan Village.Being close to the strength of a high-level warrior, making organic fertilizer, raising earthworms, cattle and sheep, training professional militiamen, having friends with pastors, etc. all show that this is not an ordinary young man.

Maybe, he can really do something.Tranis thought so, he would not mind helping such a young man with a future and ideas, it could be regarded as a kind of investment.After all, this is just a matter of his words, and he has no loss to himself, and he can still gain the gratitude and favor of a young man with potential.

Thinking of this, Sir Tranis smiled slightly and said, "Of course. It seems that today's gods are taking care of these people, allowing them to meet such a benevolent person as Village Chief Ross."

"The great gods also bless you, kind and generous Sir Tranis." Ross said with a smile.

Tranis nodded with a smile, and then arranged for the waiting knight: "Mark all these people as slaves, and treat them as gifts from me to the village chief of Los."

"Yes!" The knight glanced at Ross enviously. This should be a rough farmer in the countryside, but he has great strength at a young age. Now he has won the favor of Sir Tranis. It seems that he will be prosperous in the future.

Hearing that Sir Tranis beat all those people into slaves, Ross, who grew up in a society that shouted for democracy and human rights all day long, felt a little bit unbearable. This world respects nobility and strength. That's it, in Sir Tranis's view, letting these people live is the greatest kindness, so Ross can only stand up again and salute slightly: "Thank you so much!"

After thinking about it, Ross also understood Sir Tranis's intentions. Giving the slaves to himself, they are completely independent of Stan Village and belong to their own personal property. The wealth created by slaves without status and human rights will completely belong to Ross Personally, this can greatly improve the living conditions in the Ross family.

However, this also means that Ross has to independently pay for the board and lodging of these people. How to survive the winter is the most important issue that Ross should consider now.

Since there was no militia to follow this time, Random Los could only personally escort more than 300 slaves, and transport the spoils obtained this time back to the village. There is no way to participate in the subsequent battles.

According to Trannis's plan, they will not return until all bandit groups or other types of organizations with more than 2000 people within 300 miles have been paid up.

However, this has nothing to do with Ross. He has no chance to participate in the subsequent battles. After all, it will be 20 days after he has participated in a few rounds. At that time, Sir Tranis may have returned to Stan earlier than him. village.

There is no way, this is the result of taking the old, weak, sick and disabled on the road. It is already the limit to be able to walk a hundred miles a day.It can't be compared with war horses at all.

32 adult men, all cowardly or disabled men.

228 adult women, these women are the tools of the robbers, and they are also slaves who cook and do laundry for them.

68 children, accidental products after the robbers vented, and they were the part that survived by luck.It is also a reserve member of the bandit group.

Now these people with bloody slave marks tattooed on their foreheads have all become Los's personal property.

Maybe it's because his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he has seen too many extraordinary things with Sir Tranis these days. At this time, Ross looked at these people who applied for panic or numbness and despair, except for a trace of unbearable Not too many other feelings.

He didn't think it was unfair for these people, and he didn't want to break this rule because the nobles were arrogant and extravagant and didn't treat people as human beings.

What kind of world is this?
According to his knowledge from the books of the Temple of Agriculture, this world is full of all kinds of monsters and alien races, some of which have the power to destroy cities and lands, and the alien races have also formed enough to fight against human beings. Chambers to contend with mighty kings, even empires.

While the nobles and professionals enjoy those materials and rights, they are also shouldering the responsibility of protecting their homeland and human beings, fighting and paying for those monsters and alien races.

For example, when Stan Village was attacked by kobolds last year, if there was a mid-level warrior in the village at that time, it would be able to ensure that the kobolds would not cause much harm to the village.

If there is a high-level warrior, the group of kobolds can be killed before the village is attacked.

Therefore, when Los gathered the strength of the whole village to train militiamen and trainee warriors, the villagers had no opinion and all strongly supported it.It is because they understand this truth that they need the protection of the strong to survive in this world.

Ross can't change the rules of this world, but he can ensure that these people live better within the rules, such as paying those refugees a high enough salary (more than 5% higher than the salary for hiring refugees under normal circumstances), such as letting These slaves were able to eat while they worked (a full stomach is a luxury in this world).

After 20 days, Los successfully returned to the village with more than 300 slaves, six pack horses and a lot of spoils.

Then he arranged for Julis to direct the slaves to cut down trees and build tents, first to find a place where they could live, and at the same time let the slaves dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits as much as possible to start storing food for the winter.
