Chapter 56

If you want to build up your own power, it is not enough to rely on yourself alone.

As a passer-by from modern society, Chen Heng deeply understands this truth.

Therefore, since the cooperation with the northern lords, he bought many slaves from the northern Lords.

Slaves, this is a very good source of manpower.

All the rights of slaves who come from trade are deprived and belong to their masters. No matter how they are treated, no one will pursue them.

Under normal circumstances, in addition to a small number of slaves with special value, the vast majority of slaves, those lords did not pay attention.

As lords, they have the right to control their own people to a certain extent. Whether they are fighting or doing anything else, they have free and cheap cannon fodder to use.

Although slaves are cheap, they still need to spend money to buy them, which is not cost-effective.

However, in Chen Heng's view, this is not the case.

As a modern man, he has many ways to exploit and squeeze the surplus value of those slaves.

Therefore, a considerable part of the slaves under the northern Lord were absorbed by Chen Heng and bought by himself.

For more than a year, most of the profits he has made in Kutu have been filled in here.

He placed the slaves he bought in his manor, built a simple workshop in it, made use of water and assembly line for production, and then sold the things produced in his manor through his own relationship.

Baron Carson didn't know that.

However, at the moment, he can also feel the special characteristics of these people under Chen Heng.

Compared with ordinary people, these black haired slaves under Chen Heng are also more capable.

Moreover, they are not only competent, but also very wrong in the way they look at Chen Heng.

The existence of slaves was not unknown to Baron Carson.

In his own manor, there were many slaves engaged in heavy agricultural work.

But in his impression, the eyes and expressions of those slaves were often numb and afraid.

It's like losing hope and the future. I can't see the slightest anger.

But these things under Chen Heng are different.

Although they are slaves, they seem to be very lively and active in their work.

There's nothing like a slave.

Moreover, the body of these slaves seems to be very good, not as weak and decadent as other slaves.

"How did you do it?"

After observing in silence for a while, Baron Carson asked this question.

He felt that there were too many places in his child that he could not understand.

His ability is so strong that many things he does can't be understood.

"Give them hope."

In the face of Baron Kaisen's doubts, Chen Heng's answer is also very direct.

"People and tools are different."

Looking at the busy black haired slave in front of him, he said gently, "tools can be reused, but they also need daily maintenance."

"Slaves, as a special tool, also need to be maintained."

Here, he said faintly: "give them enough sleep and rest time, and relatively enough food, which is the daily maintenance, so that they will not collapse, physical problems."

"In addition, give them a little hope that they can see the possibility of making life better through their own efforts."

"The efficiency of their work can be greatly improved by doing these points well and using appropriate means..."

Baron Carson was stunned. He seemed to understand some of them, but he also seemed to be unable to understand some of them.

Give slaves enough rest and food?

This seems to be not in line with his imagination.

In order to save the cost, who in normal people doesn't want slaves to eat the least and simplest food and do the most and tiring work?

You'd better not have any time of your own every day to earn the most benefits for yourself.

But here in Chen Heng, it seems to be a little different.

"The human body needs to be maintained."

Looking at Baron Kaisen, Chen Heng continued to speak and explained to him, "if you want slaves to do a good job, a good body is the key."

"And if you want to be healthy, proper food is also necessary."

"If you use inferior products for a long time, your body will become weaker and weaker. At that time, even if you drive them away with a whip, you can't do more work."

"And to drive away with a whip is not an efficient management method in itself."

He spoke softly, explaining to Baron Carson.

Listening to his explanation, Baron Carson nodded, as if he understood."I always feel at ease when you do things."

Finally, instead of asking about it, he said, "this time to Baron Myra, take omando with you."

"Just let him do something."

"Good."

Chen Heng nodded. He didn't seem to care about it.

In a few days.

After all the goods arrive, Chen Heng starts again.

Compared with previous times, this one is very important.

Several times before, because the trade had just started, the Lords around were just trying to expand, and the trading volume was not large.

But this time it was different.

When he went to Baron Myra's territory this time, Chen Heng took away almost all the goods transported during this period. The value of the goods was very high. It was a sum of money that even Baron Kaisen was worried about.

If there is any mistake, I'm afraid the loss will be huge.

It is precisely because this transaction is so important, so this trip, Lord Kaisen almost brought out most of his own territory's guards.

Baron Carson and Armando are also on the team.

"So many..."

as he rode on the road, omando looked around at the boxes pulled by cattle and horses, and his heart was full of fire.

He was very clear about the contents of these boxes.

So he also roughly understood how much wealth it contained.

And once the deal is done, what a huge profit his family will make.

As soon as he thought of it, he could not help feeling hot and excited.

At the moment, he is not clear that the ownership of these things is not the family behind him, but Chen Heng himself.

In his mind, the value of this batch of goods is so huge that Chen Heng could not have.

Most of them were invested by Baron Kaisen and let Chen Heng purchase from the northern Lord, which belongs to the whole family.

The wealth belonging to the family will naturally be his in the future.

As soon as he thought of it, he could not help feeling excited and excited.
