Chapter 9

It's easy to win the respect of barbarians. Just win them. It's also easy to win their favor. Just fight with them. The vast majority of barbarians have a simple idea, not as many flowery intestines as Florentines, and of course there are exceptions.

"You should know very well that I have paid for you. From today on, you will be my slave." Suellen took out the slave contract and Yang said.

These barbarians did not speak. Suellen was not surprised by this situation. After all, no one wanted to be a slave.

"You should thank me. If I hadn't bought you, your final destination would be the cannon fodder camp."

"Didn't you buy us to treat us as cannon fodder?" a barbarian separated his companions, came out from behind and stood in front of Suellen.

Su Lun looked up at the barbarian. He didn't like talking with his head up. The barbarian was already two meters tall. Even among the barbarians, he was a big man. Suellen was like a stunted child in front of him. More importantly, the barbarian was very flexible and had no sense of bulkiness. He felt like a cheetah in the northern wilderness.

Su Lun adjusted his posture and finally didn't have to look at him with his head up. "Of course not. If I want to use you as cannon fodder, why do I buy those old, weak women and children together?"

"Aren't you going to use them to threaten us as cannon fodder?" the man was silent for a moment and said in a low voice.

"I'm not a soldier. It has nothing to do with the military." sulun stall said, "besides, I didn't let you be cheap cannon fodder on the battlefield after spending so much money."

"I'm an aristocrat. I just bought the development order. I need a group of soldiers to go to the wilderness to develop territory with me. That's why I bought you."

"Of course, it's dangerous to open up territory, but I can promise that after my territory is successfully opened up, your status as slaves will be cancelled, and you will become free people in my territory!"

"Sounds good, but how can we trust you?"

"You have no choice but to trust me," Su Lun said with a smile. "Of course, I can use my noble reputation to guarantee that as long as the territory is successfully developed, I will fulfill my promise. Moreover, in the early stage of territory development, I can let your family live here."

"As the most prosperous city in northern provinces, it is also the safest. I will supply them with food every month. Of course, you can send someone to supervise every time."

After listening to Su Lun's offer, the barbarian who should be the leader has agreed in his heart. This is the best result.

Su Lun's method is acceptable to both sides. Leaving the old and weak women and children in the city can not only ensure their safety, but also reassure Su Lun. If they go to the wilderness to explore territory together, Su Lun is also worried that these barbarians will escape directly when he doesn't pay attention. After all, they lived in the wilderness before.

"We agree." the barbarian grinned with a smile worse than crying. "My name is Johnson, from the violent bear tribe, but it no longer exists."

"My name is Suellen." Suellen nodded.

"Now you clean up this camp. You live here for the time being. After I buy you weapons, I'll set out to open up territory in the wilderness."

Then more than 100 barbarians joined the camp cleaning, and the speed of cleaning the camp suddenly increased. Although there are many women and children among these barbarians, these women and children are not weak at all. Although those female barbarians are not as strong as men, they are still stronger than Florentines.

Have you ever seen a weak woman walking back and forth with one hand carrying one or two hundred kilograms of garbage? And those minor children, one by one, are no worse than adult Florentines.

By the evening, all the barracks of the whole camp had been repaired, and sulun was resting in the hotel. Tomorrow he would continue to prepare materials for the development of the camp.

This group of barbarian warriors had a total of 35 people, and their strength was good. They were better than the slave soldiers he wanted to buy before. Moreover, so many talents spent more than 700 jinnars. In this way, he saved a lot of money.

The soldiers in the slave market cost almost 30 jinnars each, but their combat power was average. Even if the barbarians were not crazy, they could easily sling them. If they were crazy, it would be no problem to hit five or six of them. Florentines and barbarians against crazy warriors rely more on people and weapons.

Heavily armed soldiers, even if they are powerful, are just dying against the barbarians wearing animal skins and using stones or wooden sticks. In addition, the Florentine people are not without strong people. Both knights and wizards can deal with these people.

More than 4000 jinnars. It doesn't cost much to buy weapons for these barbarians. As for armor, one leather armor is enough. What? Why don't you buy armor? How expensive that thing is. It started with hundreds of ginals. Suellen hasn't been extravagant enough to equip these barbarians with heavy armor.

Maybe he won't think about this until he has money. Now the most important thing is the territory. It's not difficult for Su Lun to occupy a territory and eliminate the monsters in the territory. It's rare to hold the land. After all, if the territory can't guarantee security and no free people come to cultivate and live, it's a rootless tree, It's always untenable.

Only with the free people can sulun collect taxes, and only with taxes can his territory develop continuously. Otherwise, he can't last long by relying on his endless investment.

Moreover, for the early development of the territory, he must buy a large number of slaves. After all, it is difficult to recruit free people in the newly opened territory, so he can only replace them with slaves. Moreover, the construction of the territory also requires a large number of slaves. He can't let Barbarians build houses. These barbarians are expected to build shelters and expect them to build houses, You might as well expect the sow to go up the tree.

Kart city is the largest city in the north. There are plenty of materials here. All the materials needed by sulun to develop the territory can be bought, and the price is relatively cheap. If it is in a border city, I'm afraid he may not be able to buy all the materials. Even if he buys it reluctantly, it is estimated that the cost will be much higher.

Carriages, grain, weapons, seeds, farm tools, tents and building materials are bought back, and then stacked in the camp. Among them, the grain is the most, because he has to prepare grain for at least one year. Even if he exploits the territory this year, there will be no output. He can be self-sufficient only when the grain is mature next year.
