After Hu Kui thanked the people, he tied the grain bag to the horse and put away the silver. I left the camp with great gratitude. It is expected that they will soon return with a large group of victims.

Zhao Youfu was already taken aback by the bloody scene just now. He was sighing in his heart when these big men were not ambiguous. The big man pointed at him with his hand and said, "Your name is Zhao Youfu, right?" Come here. ”

Zhao Youfu was stunned when he heard him. Then he hurriedly trotted over a few steps and said, "Big boss, what do you command?" ”

The big man smiled and said, "What's the name of the big boss?" You think this is a bandit cottage! ”

Zhao Youfu muttered in his heart, the momentum you shouted to people just now is more like a bandit than a bandit. But he didn't dare to say that. Said: "Chief, chief. It's the boss! ”

Dahan didn't bother to bother with him, and said directly: "From today onwards, more than 100 people will be under your control." Explain the rules to them first, and then arrange for them to eat. After a few days of rest, someone will take you to the beach and go straight to the sea. ”

Zhao Youfu was shocked when he heard this! Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Chief, this is not done!" I can't control so many! You'd better find someone else! ”

Dahan said: "How can you not manage it? Haven't you seen your village chief in charge? ”

Zhao Youfu said: "I've seen it, but I haven't taken care of it, no!" ”

Dahan smiled and said, "Then you can start learning today." Also, tell you something in advance. These people are slaves now, and they will all have to obey your orders in the future. If someone doesn't obey, tell any one of them and they'll deal with it. ”

After speaking, the big man pushed Zhao Youfu in front of the pile. He said, "Now you take them to exchange the deed first, and then take them to dinner." After eating, take them to the shed to rest. ”

Zhao Youfu staggered and was pushed in front of the victims. He looked at the pairs of eyes staring at him, and Zhao Youfu felt a chill down his spine! However, he thought about Dahan's words again, and cheered himself up again. He walked over and untied the rope from their arms. said, "Come with me." ”

The victims followed him straight to the bookkeeper's shed to exchange the deed. After exchanging the deed, Zhao Youfu also calmed down and led them to the stove room to eat. However, for fear that these victims would lose their stomachs, each person was only given a bowl of thick rice porridge.

You must know that these victims have been hungry for a long time, and they have no oil or water in their stomachs. If you suddenly eat a meal with a lot of oil and water, I am afraid that I will have diarrhea. So give them some rice porridge or batter to nourish their body first, which is the most important thing.

Subsequently

In the past few days, Zhao Youfu and these more than 100 people have basically become acquainted. These victims also knew that Zhao Youfu was their leader, and they also obeyed him. And they kept asking Zhao Youfu for news, and they knew what their future would be.

Before this, Zhao Youfu was told a lot of news when he was literate. So I told all the news to the victims. He knew that the people who bought people were very powerful. There are countless lands on the big islands overseas. So I bought these slaves specifically to clear the wasteland.

And Zhao Youfu also told the victims a big news. It was these slaves who had a chance to be released after five years of service. Whoever behaves well in ordinary times will turn from a slave to a commoner. If you are lazy and greedy, you will be a slave for the rest of your life! And Fang Liang is also close to those who have craftsmanship first.

Zhao Youfu found a blacksmith in his team. After he reported it, someone immediately asked the blacksmith a lot of questions, and then gave him a good document on the spot. But it took three years for that instrument to enter into force.

The blacksmith family cried loudly with the paperwork! Although the family cried fiercely, it reassured the others. After all, no one wants to be a slave for the rest of their lives, and live and die in the hands of others!

In fact, there was a way to escape from slavery. However, Liu Pei did not let people out. That's the housekeeper. As long as you become a householder, you and your family can immediately become civilians. But Liu Pei didn't want them to know right away. After all, the team is fundamental to him. He must not let some people with ulterior motives get in.

In addition, the reason why Liu Pei did not directly release these people into civilians was because he was afraid of lack of people's hearts! If he directly releases these people to the people, maybe these people may not be grateful to him, and they will run away after eating enough food at him! I just want to stay in Shandong and eat a mouthful of food, and I won't go overseas with him. Only by becoming civilians through their own efforts will they cherish and work hard!

The most important thing is that Liu Pei took them overseas as slaves, and after a few years, they would adapt to life overseas, and then transform into civilians with their own efforts, and their resolute character was sharpened. Liu Pei can consider using it.

Moreover, after these people worked hard to become civilians, they were still destitute and couldn't go back to Shandong. So what can they do? Then you have to share Liu Pei's land! After a certain number of years of tenant rent, the land became his personal possession, and when he had the land, he tied the people to him. They will take root in the land, survive and multiply. Firmly control Liu Pei's overseas territories.

Another point is that by working as slaves, we can initially discern what the character of these people is. What about the capabilities? Those who have good conduct and ability should naturally be given priority to be absorbed into the family team

。 If the age is not suitable, he will be promoted to a village official. Anyway, Liu Pei's overseas foundation is start-up, and people are needed everywhere, so I am afraid that there will not be enough talents in the crowd.

In the days when the group of victims rested, a steady stream of victims were brought to the camp. Huge amounts of silver and food flowed out, in exchange for teams of victims. I have to say that the eyes of these traffickers are really vicious and experienced! So far, the people they have sent are all people who are physically strong and free from illness and disaster. As long as you eat a few full meals in the camp and rest for a few days, your body recovers.

Seven days later, the camp was nearly full. Under the shed built in the woods, all the people who sat and lay down were people. Fortunately, those big men had people on duty day and night, and the victims were very cooperative with food and drink, so there was no chaos in the camp.

Even Zhou Xiancai's people were each assigned to a team of victims to manage. These people are so busy every day that they hit the back of their heads! However, they have slowly changed from an ordinary villager to a qualified village chief. Among them, the most outstanding one is Zhou Xiancai. After all, he had run outside with caravans before, and he was well-informed and sophisticated. So he was rewarded by the camp leader: two taels of silver! And what Zhou Xiancai didn't know was that his name had already been on a special list. As long as you go to Ryukyu to be the village chief for a while, if nothing goes wrong, I'm afraid you will be promoted.

Early in the morning of the eighth day, the group of people just led by Zhao Youfu finished breakfast. The leader of the camp called for a meeting with him. Zhao Youfu didn't dare to delay, and went directly to the leader's room.

Entering the room, Zhao Youfu found that the leader was scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks and writing something, with an impatient face. When he saw Zhao Youfu coming in, he dropped his pen and stood up and said, "Zhao Youfu, your team is going to prepare to set off today." ”

Zhao Youfu couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart when he heard this. To be honest, he was quite comfortable during his time in the camp and really didn't want to leave. However, since you have signed someone's deed, you must always listen to their arrangement. So he bounced and said, "Then when are we leaving?" ”

The leader said, "Now! Pack up your things and go! There is a family to escort you. The supplies along the way will also be prepared. ”

Zhao Youfu hurriedly nodded and agreed to Xia Li. The leader told him a lot of things to do on the road, and then called a few of the family members to come and let him take them to lead the people to set off. Zhao

Zhao Youfu himself already had no luggage, and the victims were even more empty-handed. So a group of people quickly gathered and prepared to go. After Zhao Youfu counted the number of people again, he nodded to the family members who followed the team, indicating that it was okay. And the family members set out with them.
