Chapter 173 (2/2)
Well, Du Wei did knohere to find soed to the ic craftsmen profession, a sicians In order to supply theh items for self-consumption, they will only create small batches at a time In rare occasions, one or two of these iteh the market As for the rest of the people in this profession, in Due to their lack of talent, e, thus, forcing theic
Hence the quadruplets Du Wei’s hope is that these girls will use their knowledge in themachine
It is obvious Du Wei’s value outlook on these girls are completely different from most men’s
If changed to any other noble, those lustful beasts would have already locked these rare beauties inside a room and refused to let them out
“To be perfectly blunt your lordshi+p, I ask you to take these four aith you!”
Rolynn is very blunt in her words: “They are not here to help me! Every day I would even need to break up some of my people to serve them! Humph……”
Du Wei frowns: “There is such a thing?”
What ca her encounters in the past few days
It turns out it wasn’t just Rolynn being depressed, the quadruplets were also depressed Since little, the four girls were already considered rare beauties After being bought by Sir Biliaibuer, the guy spared no expense to train and give the girls an the girls frorounds up so they can entertain men in the future”
Even back in the years under Sir Biliaibuer, the standard of living for the quadruplets could even rival a lady from a small noble household
At the first the girls were still pleased over the fact that they were given to Du Wei After all, he is young, handsoround To top it all off, Du Wei even became a Duke!
The girls originally thought that if they can use their sex appeals and obtain Du Wei’s love, then they would be able to transform from a peacock to phoenix
Unfortunately, Du Wei never even laid a finger on theirls into Rolynn’s hand!
To the girls, theis Rolynn! This rude, cold hearted woh to tell them to work!
……
Listening to Rolynn’s story, Du Wei beca: “So you can’t take theed to pack a bunch of unruly pirates away before, but now, you can’t even handle four little girls?”
She started to look a bit aard: “… … These ladies are after all sent from your side, I…”
Du Wei immediately understands Rolynn’s worry With a smile, he then said: “You can rest assured that they are not my woman; I also don’t intent to let them be my woman! Now are you assured? Since I sent them to you, they are under your control! If they still won’t listen, then you can handle them as you please!”
Rolynn lets out a long sigh because she is finally relieved
Looking at the fehed inside: and with that, it is expected the quadruplets will be suffering quite the bitter experience in the co days
After a moment of hesitation, Du Wei then said: “The problem of manpower cannot be fixed quickly The only solution we have before us to slowly find one fro to io rob theh they wouldn’t openly retaliate considering my status, but it would be a whole different matter after I leave Therefore, its best not try any offending things!”
“But all good crafts to find one then?” Rolynn sighed in frustration
“Its true things aren’t working out The only dumb option left for us is to produce one”
Du Wei also shakes his head: “But the cost is toowith a slow effect Let’s first put the Craftsmen issue aside for now, and then I will slowly come up with a solution… Hmm, it’s still early, lets first head over to the slave et lucky and find some proper manpower”
Roland continent’s slavery policy had long been opposed by the temple for the past millennium
Of course, in Du Wei’s view, this is not the Te noble Instead, it was because the tein
Although the continent may seem peaceful on the surface for hundreds of years, but the expeditions into the southeastern sea and small outbreak of rebellions had produced tons of prisoners… This was especially true in the recent expeditions out in sea Originally, the booty was still large and grand to oods started to dwindle down to nothing As such, the only thing left to pillage is the indigenous tribes themselves
Southeast Asia, there are often small outbreaks of rebellion in the Northwest, after the military conquest of the Empire, always appears as a lot of prisoners … … Especially the South Pacific Expedition fleet, expedition cae nue islands froenous
With that, it becaenous tribes fro to a recent census, it is estimated there is more than 8,000 slaves fro in the capital for enerations
Of course, there areimprovised and unable to survive on their own, so master In addition, there are the prisoners of war from the several outbreaks of rebellions in the empire
Aside from all the previous cases, there is a special classification of slaves called “official slaves” These people are usually from some ruined noble household For example: in the recent coup of the crown prince, many people that partook in the event was convicted and was revoked of their free citizen status Thus is their fate of being sold as salves in the market
Funny thing is, the biggest slave co to any randoovernment! It just so happens that the place is located in the west side of the slavesold
As such, the yearly incoe sum for the imperial court
And the reason the Temple is so discontented is because they couldn’t take a slice of this big cake!
The capital’s slave trade is mostly concentrated on the South Western part of the city Inhabited by more than 900,000 citizens, this area accounted for almost half of the population in the imperial capital
This thousand , it is also a place for people to seek work
In other words, this is similar to the “labor market” in Du Wei’s past life
At the end of the street, a square was connected to it Originally, a fountain with a luxurious statue is centered in the middle, but due to popular deo In its stead,
Above the square, several tall platforather crowds and onlookers In its mix,it big when they go back Of course, there are some servants from certain noble houses that came to buy in fresh blood for their masters
Standing on the platforms are some slavers hips in hand Just about every one of these people is protected with strongly built guards for their security Behind these heartless people are cages Chained and kept against their will, many men and wohest bidder These poor souls are the recent batch of slaves brought in fro to accept their fate of being slaves for the rest of their lives, the slavers are forced to keep thees
While the other slaves on the high platform remained still, their faces were already pale and their eyes holloithout life These people had long surrendered to fate and accepted their life of chain and servitude Therefore, the only thing needed to bind them is a thin rope around the neck
Even the slavers were daring enough to constantly move over to the slaves just to squeeze the face and mouths of their product The reason is prove to the customers that their products had no proble and fully heartedly accepted their destiny
Disguising themselves in common wear, Du Wei and Rolynnthe attention of others
Through the efforts of Rolynn leading the way, the two finally h the crowd
In addition to the slave stands on the sides of the road, there are also h they had different reasons for being there, they all had one thing in co over their arms
These people are not slaves, but free citizens of the eh the harsh condition in their life, these people are revolt their freedo off their ar to become a slave
Of course, there are so there, their ar to follow a master under the status of a free citizen
There are actually quite a lot of these people Mainly coroomers, there are also many lowly skilled warriors
Du Wei found that several of the people claih their face remained stern like that of a real warrior, but their swords were already rusting Such a sight was unusually obstructive
A warrior’s survival in the capital is not easy As the epicenter of the e with experts Basically, an interuard for a noble
As for a lower ranked warrior, it would become much more difficult For those unlucky ones, they would only be able to find a job as a laborer for a noble household while the luckier ones work as a bodyguard for a transport caravan
Only the bottom dwellers like the rank one or tarriors cannot find a livable job
The growth of ic and the decline of warriors is the trend of the entire continent
“Master, look!” Du Wei was just in the process of evaluating some warriors when he suddenly heard the call fro in front, he saw the crowds of people were starting to move towards the site of where most of the “official slaves” are located!
In terenerally her than an ordinary slave The reason is because such a slave is usually read to go theto spend the extra expense to purchase these slaves
“Let’s go take a look” Du Wei nods
It looks like he caoods is about to go on sale
