My Empire War Game

Chapter 66 Zhenbei Fort

Su Lun did not directly take out the white sugar to trade with the Skylark Chamber of Commerce. In his positioning of the white sugar, it is a luxury accessory. White sugar is different from table salt. Ordinary people don't eat sugar, so it's fine, so sugar is basically prepared for those nobles.

The goods brought by the Robert Caravan include all kinds of daily necessities, in addition to a small amount of food, there are alcohol, tea and so on. Their arrival solved many problems in the territory. When Su Lun came to develop the territory, he only purchased the most important materials because of limited funds, and he did not bring other materials at all.

The simplest, such as clothes, the wasteland does not produce clothes, so many people wear leather clothes after the clothes are damaged. It was hard and smelly, uncomfortable to wear, and smelled bad. Before he came here, Robert deliberately informed Gene about the situation in Suren's territory, and then prepared the goods, which are naturally very popular.

Su Qianci Lun had already run out of money in the previous purchases, and he could only barter for Robert's goods. Fortunately, during this time, the blacksmith forged a lot of armor and weapons, which happened to be traded with Robert.

Robert is still very curious about Zhenbei Fort, a small town that is more than three hundred miles away from Black Rock City. In his impression, few pioneering territories so deep into the wasteland can last for three months. After three months and finally gaining a foothold, they are all heavily in debt and require a lot of capital investment every year. After all, maintaining a regular army of more than 1,000 people in the wilderness is too expensive.

But this Zhenbei Fort is different. After coming here, Robert's first impression is clean and orderly. Yes, it is clean and orderly. You must know that even in the royal city of Florence, except for the noble and wealthy areas, it is common to defecate anywhere. The streets in the city are also muddy. Human waste that falls from the sky.

The town is unexpectedly clean, the streets are neat, and the streets are paved with stones, rolled, and in some places, slate is used as the road. There is no rubbish on the streets, and the pedestrians who come and go have never discarded rubbish, even The same goes for those goblin slaves and gnoll slaves.

Only later did he know that this was the request of the lord Su Lun, and there were severe punishments for violating the regulations, cleaning the streets and toilets with shackles under the supervision of others. Also, being caught urinating and defecating is not only required to pay fines and hard labor, but also to be caught and hanged and beaten. Those who do not reform will have their tools confiscated.

There will be a bathroom at the corner of every street. Everyone must go to the bathroom to solve the problem. In addition to being clean and tidy, there are many rules here. For example, the road is divided into two in the middle, everyone needs to walk on the right, etc. .

Although the whole town does not look big, it is orderly. Several roads divide the town into several parts, and all the houses are almost of the same style. Although it doesn't look good, it looks neat. Some of these houses are already occupied, but many are still empty.

Although each house is small in size and only has three rooms, the layout is very reasonable. The houses facing the street are all two-story attics. These houses should be shops. There are also drainage ditches on both sides of the town roads. sewer.

There are more people living in the south of the city, but other places are very empty. Many open spaces have been built with fences, which seem to be reserved places. No one is allowed to approach near the military camp in the town, and the lord’s mansion is also prohibited. It's close, but you can come and go at will on the other side of the square.

Compared with other towns, this town not only has a small number of residents, but also has an outrageously small number of troops. For a pioneering town like this, if you want to stand in the wilderness, you must have at least 800 regular troops, but this What about towns? There were fewer than one hundred barbarian warriors.

Even if these barbarian warriors are powerful, they are too few. After a large-scale battle, the tactical drowning of the sea can also drown them. But until now, the town is still surviving well, which makes people feel that they have some cards.

However, the strength of these barbarian warriors is indeed very strong. On the way here, the barbarian warrior named Johnson is likely to be at the level of a knight commander. I really did not expect such a remote and small place. The Knight Commander of the Grand Knight rank exists, and if he is willing to swear allegiance to the kingdom, he can at least become a Viscount.

In addition to these, what surprised him even more was that the town had a large number of slaves. In addition to those serfs, there were more than a thousand goblin kobolds and gnoll slaves. The number of these slaves was already the number of the town's population. More than 100 times, no slaves have escaped.

There are very few free people here, and most of them are slaves of the lord, but the slaves here are completely different from those in other cities. In other places, the enthusiasm of the slaves to work is not high, and many times a supervisor must be whipped, but the slaves here are very active, and there is no need for the supervisor to use the whip.

After discovering this situation, Robert was very surprised. After asking some people, he found out that the Lord Suren promised to pardon the slave and make him a freeman as long as he worked seriously for the territory for five years. Robert was stunned when he heard the news.

You must know that slaves are his private property, and it is not just the overseer's whip to make slaves work hard? Why free slaves? Does he think he has too much money? This approach Robert simply could not understand. They even established a contribution system for these slaves, earning a small amount of points for hard work every day, or for joining the army to fight.

Only after the required points are reached, the slave will be freed.

In fact, the reason Su Lun did this was to increase the number of freedmen in the town. After all, if you knew that you were only a slave forever, how could you expect this slave to work hard? impossible. In this way, Sullen successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of these slaves.

Even if these slaves are restored to free people after five years, they still have nothing, and they need to continue to work for Su Lun before they can get paid, but the exploitation has been replaced by a more hidden method.

In addition to these, what makes Robert most curious is that in the city's workshop, there is a blacksmith shop by the river outside the city. This is the place where weapons and equipment are produced, but when Robert wanted to go in, he was directly arrested. stopped. There are several such places, one of which is a workshop next to the lord's castle, which is also guarded by barbarian warriors.
