Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 58 Slavery is a Bad Civilization

  How to bring the water pump and water purification equipment, the armored vehicle can be brought here in the same way, just make a few more trips. Laura didn't think it was a big deal, the question was how could she get this level of ammunition?

  After going through some things, she really took over all the properties of the Crawford family, but after all, she has never been exposed to these things, and she doesn't know how much energy she can mobilize, which requires her to explore slowly. Before everything became clear, she felt that she should not talk about it. If she said it but failed to do it, how shameful it would be!

   Fording has already started to work, he is not in a hurry to take off the armor of these people, but put everyone on the horse.

Put a corpse on a horse, and then Fording tried to lead the horse back to Azeroth. After confirming that it could be brought there, he tied the horse there, and then came back to lead the remaining horses carrying the corpse. In the past, the corpses were prepared to be disposed of there - the corpses were buried, armor and weapons on the body, as well as valuables with them, would all be sold on Azeroth.

Will originally wanted to give a set to his future father-in-law, but then he thought that the owner of the armor had just been killed, and the armor didn't seem very auspicious. Even if he wanted to give the armor to the governor, it would be better to wait for a while and let Fording Bring yourself a whole new set of armor from his world.

In the blink of an eye, several corpses, all kinds of equipment on their bodies, and several top horses were all cleaned up. Now even if the Forrest family sends people to turn Cold Winter Village upside down, he will It is impossible to find any evidence and use it to trouble Winter Village and David.

"However, do those guys really care about any evidence?" After making sure that there were no enemies hiding around, Peggy, who had seen how shameless the other party was, felt that the Forrest family didn't care about these things at all, just casually Just find another reason.

   "They are the top aristocratic family in Iron Tree Castle, so this kind of superficial skill must be done properly." David smiled: "And, if it is really too much, I actually have a way to deal with it."

"Oh? What way? Can you tell us?" Although he has confidence in the current strength of Cold Winter Village, David doesn't mean to use force to resist those noble families. Will is curious to know what else David can use ?

   "Go to the king's capital, Tilan, and show your loyalty to the current king."

   "What kind of solution is this?"

  Everyone was at a loss, only Fording and Laura understood David's meaning: Let Cold Winter Village become His Majesty's personal territory, so whoever dares to attack Cold Winter Village is tantamount to declaring war on His Majesty the King himself.

   Of course, it is not an easy task to achieve this. Even if David seeks to see him as a pioneer who has successfully opened up a new land, he may not be able to see His Majesty the King.

   "However, this method should not be used yet." David would not easily run to show loyalty to King Tiran, and he hoped to maintain the current free life with great autonomy.

   "Actually, there is something I've been wanting to ask..." Mark, who hadn't spoken much today, suddenly interjected, but swallowed it halfway: "Forget it, I'll talk to you about it when I have time."

David nodded, and didn't ask Mark what he wanted to ask. He looked back at the people around him, and finally clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention to himself: "Okay, no matter that Sean Frey What the **** is there for Sturt, we're all going to live our own lives right now."

  The corpse and all kinds of evidence were taken to Azeroth by Fording, and there was no trace left here. As for the blood on the ground? Just take a shovel and turn it over a few times on the ground and you won't be able to see it.

After completing the work of destroying the corpses and removing traces in the shortest time, everyone split up to work on their own affairs... Although it seemed so on the surface, David noticed that Peggy and Steve wandered around the periphery of the village intentionally or unintentionally. It's on guard.

  As for Sharon, maybe Peggy said something to this daughter earlier, she quickly returned to normal, sitting at the long table writing and drawing something.

   After replenishing food and water, Fording left Cold Winter Village again. This time he has six excellent war horses, and he may arrive in the Western Wilderness earlier than expected.

  Mark continued his daily work: checking the farmland, or harvesting the farmland. He tried to plant several crops, and some crops were mature and ready to be harvested. This result not only proves that Cold Winter Village can grow more kinds of crops, but also means that their food types will become more abundant in the coming days.

  Squirrel wandered around with Mark as usual. If he didn't want to go shopping, he would go to swim in the Winter River by himself, or simply bask in the sun somewhere in the village.

  Will went back to Port Royal, probably to find Elizabeth.

   But to David's surprise, Will came back soon, and there were several blindfolded people behind him supporting Will's shoulders and following him forward.

   "Successful."

I was listening to Laura talking about her adventures (oral version of Laura’s random killing record), but I saw Will and Elizabeth studying how to bring more people to Winter Village, so I stopped chatting with Laura and walked out of the cabin Watching Will and Elizabeth high five.

"How about it?"

   Regarding the fact that Elizabeth wants to arrange a few farmers for Will, David agreed, and at the same time, he also wanted to pass some tests through Elizabeth: Do you have to contact Will directly before you can follow him to Cold Winter Village? Or is it possible to come through indirect contact, that is, people touch people?

   now has the exact answer.

"You have to touch Will directly." Elizabeth looked at the few people who were still blindfolded and didn't dare to run around, and didn't even dare to take off the cloth strips from their eyes. These were serfs just bought: "Wait a minute , there are still a few people who have not come."

  Ordered a few serfs to stand where they were and not to run around, and not to take off the cloth strips on their eyes. Elizabeth took Will and hurried back to Port Royal again, and brought the rest of them over.

  Ten serfs, this is an easy task for Governor Wetherby-Swan. As for the hundred names Elizabeth mentioned, the governor is purely joking when he treats her as a daughter. After buying her ten serfs, tell her that if a large piece of wasteland is really reclaimed and ten slaves are not enough, then buy her more slaves.

  Elizabeth did not express any dissatisfaction. Ten slaves are enough for the time being, and she thought that if she bought a hundred slaves, the problem of food would not be solved.

   Let these ten serfs build Will's farm into a prototype first, and then gradually add more serfs and expand the scale of the farm.

"Okay, you can take off the cloth strips on your eyes." Then Elizabeth introduced their master Will Turner to the ten serfs, and told them that the next job was to work on the wasteland around the village, Master Will Turner cleared the fields.

   As for salary? Of course not! But Lord Will Turner would be solely responsible for feeding, clothing and lodging these serfs.

  Listening to Elizabeth's words, Will's face turned pale, and he whispered in Elizabeth's ear: "My blacksmith shop has not officially opened yet, so there is no way to support so many people."

   "Go to my place to bring some food and clothes later, it should be able to handle it for a while."

"That's not good?"

   "This will make you a big farmer earlier..."

  The young lovers were whispering and talking non-stop, while David was looking at the group of slaves: they were all middle-aged men. To David's surprise, these slaves were basically white.

As if seeing David’s doubts, Laura whispered to him about science: “Actually, there were many white slaves in the first slave trade. These white slaves were mainly bankrupts and criminals, who were forced to become slaves and went to Work in the colonies. Because these slaves will sign a contract, they are called contract slaves, and as long as they work until the contract period, they can regain their freedom."

  David glanced at Laura: "How do you know what I'm wondering about?"

"I think you may not know enough about the history of this aspect." Laura suddenly changed the subject and mentioned another matter: "I drank a lot of the black tea I brought over, but the milk and sugar have hardly decreased. As far as I know, the ones that I like to drink directly without any seasoning are..."

   "Cough~According to Agreement No. 404 of the Time and Space Management Regulations, some things cannot be directly stated."

   "Oh~" Laura didn't care about David's obvious nonsense, she was curious about another thing: "Why don't you continue to hide it?"

   "I don't seem to be very good at this kind of thing." Spreading his hands helplessly, he suspected that Mark had actually guessed it a long time ago, but he didn't say it clearly.

   "Your judgment is not wrong, you are indeed not very good at this kind of thing." Laura seemed to think of something happy, and asked another question with a smile: "Then what is your real name?"

   "My real name is David."

   "Nice to meet you, David! David!" Laura suddenly reached out and shook David's hand. At this time, Elizabeth and Will had already taken ten serfs to the blacksmith shop. The blacksmith shop is big enough, as long as there are enough quilts, the ten serfs don't have to worry about having no place to sleep: "So, how do you arrange the ten slaves?"

These words seemed to trigger some kind of switch. Steve, Peggy, and Mark, who were successively attracted by Elizabeth and Will, were all watching the fun nearby. When Laura asked this question, their eyes all turned Focused on David.

"This is Cold Winter Village, of course it will be dealt with according to the rules of Cold Winter Village." David will not be troubled by such a small problem at all: "These people need to sign a new contract with Will Turner, with the contract farmers Identity works for Will."

  David is not a slave liberator, but the situation in Lindong Village is destined to have no room for slavery.
