A few days later, many rumors about lulushu have spread in the free city, such as members of the royal family of the karsermon Empire, descendants of the hidden family, businessmen from another continent of the world, and so on.
One day, a deal of 1.5 billion leans was reached. This huge deal made the intelligence networks of various forces in the free city active. Many spies and spies searched everywhere for information about the lamperuki family. But now many people only get one piece of news, this Lucius Lamperuchi also has a sister named buyani Lamperuki is said to be a noble girl with a more beautiful face than elves, who can be called perfect in both temperament and etiquette.
Outside the hotel where Lu Luxiu and his party stayed, attendants from various chambers of Commerce kept sending invitations to invite "two brothers and sisters" to dinner and parties.
"For the establishment of the chamber of Commerce, the personnel of various departments will be recruited from tomorrow."
Lu Luxiu is also as busy as Eliza. Although he knew from the beginning that everything needs to start from scratch, it's a little too "white". He doesn't have too many professionals on hand. The trickery demon Ji lefulan will be a dark card in the future. Lu Luxiu didn't consider letting her make a public appearance in the new chamber of Commerce, During this time, leflea was always doing her own business outside mysteriously, and only came back occasionally to report.
Speaking of recruiting, Eliza couldn't help but have a headache: "Mr. Lu, I have to remind you that we don't have reliable manpower at all. If we want to recruit manpower in a free city, with all due respect, according to your previous influence, nine of the ten chamber of commerce personnel we can recruit except slaves are spies and spies."
"What about the other one?" Lu Xiu smiled and asked.
"Fraudster!"
Buyani, who plays the role of sister next to ruxiu, smiled. As Eliza said, it is impossible to attract trustworthy people in the free city. There are a lot of chambers of Commerce and people of various forces outside. They want to put a lot of spies and spies here. However, Eliza's worry is completely within Lucio's expectation.
"It doesn't matter. The personnel recruitment is still held as usual, but" Lu Xiu inadvertently covered his left eye and said in a cold tone: "all the recruited personnel need me to have a look in person!!"
Eliza's heart suddenly tightened and nodded subconsciously. At that moment, Eliza felt that the mysterious boy in front of her showed an extremely ominous atmosphere, just like an extremely distorted obsession.
"I see, your excellency Lucius. Then it's OK for the basic labor force in the chamber of Commerce to use ordinary slaves?"
"Slave"
Hearing this word, Lu Xiu could not help but stop writing: "is there no labor force other than slaves?".
"Most of the basic labor force in the free city is composed of slaves. If ordinary citizens other than slaves are used as labor force, the cost will rise exponentially. Generally speaking, other chambers of Commerce, including our westfallon family, porters, coolies and loaders are composed of slaves."
The words "slavery" and "slave" are not unfamiliar to lulushu. His motherland Brittany has enslaved the whole world in disguised form with powerful force. He once set off a war with his motherland in zone 11. In order to realize his dream, he used the power of Geass to control many people. What he did was the same as Brittany he hated. But from the beginning to the end, I never gave up my dream to build a gentle and peaceful world. A world where his sister Nana Li can live in peace. Since we want to change the world, we need strength. In this process, our hands will inevitably be covered with blood.
In that case, I don't mind being cursed as the devil by later generations!
On reading, Lucius agreed with Eliza's suggestion: "then use slaves."
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Luxiu and Eliza set off for the slave market in the outer urban area of the free city. When they learned that they were going to buy slaves, Kenjiro's expression in the world of Beidou Shenquan became subtle. Obviously, the Savior at the end of the world was very sensitive to the word slave, and Kenjiro showed his opposition almost without concealment. Gus seemed very calm. After all, Gus, who had been a mercenary, had been a slave for some time because of his defeat. Although he finally escaped by hijacking the fool son of a city owner, it was almost common for GUS to use the defeated, the poor and other nationalities as slaves.
For Kenjiro's story, Lu Xiu only reluctantly explained it a little. If you want to change the world, you must first integrate into the world. Without power, all dreams will be empty talk. And Kenjiro doesn't just know how to be a brave warrior. He also agreed with Lu Luxiu's view, but hoped that Lu Luxiu would not enslave these people too much.
Lu Xiu agreed with Kenjiro's request.
On the way to the slave market, Lu Lu Xiu once again felt that there were still people behind him, and the number was much more than at the beginning, and the quality of the stalkers was doubled. Fortunately, this time, the other party seemed to have some scruples. He didn't follow closely as at the beginning, but just watched from a distance. Although it's not a good thing to be followed, what Lu Xiu hopes now is this situation. Touch the high-rise of the free city and integrate into the city as soon as possible.
Crystal dragon buyani originally wanted to join the fun with everything, but lulushu seems to have decided to accept buyani's role as his "sister". At first, buyani appeared as an elegant and pure noble lady, so Lu luciu refused buyani's request. After all, a pure and beautiful noble girl who came from a long and famous family and didn't know the dangers of the world should not appear in the dark place of the slave market.
'buyani ~ I want you to play a noble girl who doesn't eat human fireworks like an angel! Do you understand? "
After being ordered by Lu Xiu, the crystal dragon girl who was tied up in a cocoon had to give up and continue to stay in the hotel. But at the thought of her future role, bujani couldn't help laughing.
Speaking of the slave market, in the novel, this kind of place is always described as a beautiful scene in which a large group of lovely and helpless beautiful girls stand together, waiting for a protagonist to rescue. But in fact, it is a place where people are bought and sold like goods. Full of violence, barbarism and blood, it can be said that it is the darkest side in the process of civilization evolution.
The abnormal prosperity of the free city can be said to be based on the remains and blood of countless slaves. Every year, the free city obtains a large number of slaves through the acquisition of prisoners of war, the sale of bankrupt people and the capture of different nationalities. However, the city established by slavery and oppression has been ironically named "freedom".
Behind the scenes in the era of overlord garserik, the continuous war caused by the division of borders and interests after the independence of the mainland regions created countless refugees and prisoners. It was a common means to support the war by war at that time. The free city also emerged in this turbulent era, forming today's scale. However, due to the development of the Holy See, the war in the eastern part of the mainland has ended, and all countries are in a relatively peaceful period. The recent war is also the competition between the karserman Empire and the kreises kingdom for the disputed territory, With the intervention and mediation of the Holy See, the karsermon Empire won and ended, and the two sides did not break out into an all-out war.
Businessmen who had been unable to obtain slaves in peacetime wanted to take the opportunity to obtain goods, but Augusta, Prince of the karsermon Empire, adopted a gentle policy. Not only did he not enslave the people in the occupied area, but even Lien Chan prisoners were pardoned. This move not only enabled the karsermon Empire to quickly consolidate its control over the occupied area, It has even been highly affirmed and praised by the Holy See.
Speaking of the Holy See. If we say that the holy capital in the west of the mainland opposes all slavery and constantly sets off all kinds of slave riots, it is the object most hated by the slave merchants in the free city. Then the idea of human supremacy of the Holy Holy Holy See in the east also gave the slave traders a headache. Under the idea of the Holy See, every human being is a child sheltered by the goddess, a unique existence, and is born equal. The Holy See does not oppose the enslavement and exclusion of non-human nations, but it will never allow any believer to enslave his compatriots. The Holy See, which almost monopolized the beliefs in the eastern part of the mainland, never lacked crazy believers. Once, when slave merchants walked on the mainland, they were always surrounded by countless believers of the "Lord" whenever they passed a city with a church. When they found that the slaves they sold were human beings, these merchants who did not go far would definitely be taught a lesson with sticks and then hung from a tree to watch, And those human slaves will be lucky not to pay a Ryan to be free.
Therefore, the trade of human slaves can only take place in the free city, a fallen city that seems to have been abandoned by the gods. In the eastern part of the continent, countries with Vatican beliefs dare not openly use human beings as slaves. Even Eliza's westfallon family dare to play a side ball only in free cities. In the belrama Kingdom, the westfallon family can only use legal foreign slaves such as elves and dwarves at most.
With Eliza's explanation, the carriage carrying the people finally arrived at the most bloody and dark area of the city. On the way, Lu Luxiu saw the passage of many prison cars escorting slaves through the curtains. Looking at the faces above full of fear or completely numb, Lu Luxiu couldn't help turning his head and trying not to see this kind of thing.
When they arrived at the checkpoint, they had to get off the carriage for inspection. The slave market is one of the most tightly guarded places in the free city. In order to prevent spies from the holy capital from sneaking in, the inspection is quite strict. Fortunately, however, the impact of Lucius's previous large deal made the inspection much easier. At least in the view of the Guard officer, no spy could reach a deal of 1.5 billion lirn in one day.
Not only that, when entering the slave market, several special guides greeted them personally! (to be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
