Chapter 61

"What's your name?"

Three hundred young slaves were standing in front of him when Xiao Ming asked a boy who was standing in the middle and was a little thin.

Although he is thin, he is the most energetic one. He is about 1.7 meters tall and has big eyes. He keeps looking at the surrounding environment and looks very smart.

"To my master, my name is Lu Tong." Said the boy.

At this time, Zhao Long said, "in front of you is the seventh Prince of the state of Dayu, his Highness the king of Qi. You should call him his highness. "

in Zhao Long's opinion, the word" master "is a term used by slaves to call barbarians on the grassland, which is disrespectful to Xiao Ming.

Lu Tong was surprised and bought from the grassland. They set out from the sea and came here directly. They didn't know where it was. At this time, they were surprised and said, "Your Highness, the cheap slaves are from Cangzhou. Three years ago, the barbarians conquered Cangzhou City, and the cheap slaves were plundered by the barbarians. "

at the same time, the vast majority of slaves were in turmoil, and they said," is this Qingzhou? We're back. " "Home at last." "Great."

Zhao Long's face turned red at this time. The destruction of Cangzhou City was an unforgettable humiliation for the soldiers of Qingzhou. The slaves in front of him turned out to be the feudal people who were plundered by barbarians three years ago. He could not help but feel ashamed for a moment.

Xiao Ming also blushed. Although it was the former pot, he had to carry it on his own.

He had an idea and said, "after all the hardships, I have finally found my people back. Zhao long and Zhao Hu have not yet untied their shackles."

Lu Tong's eyes were red and tears were pouring down. He suddenly knelt down on his face and touched the ground. He picked up the Loess under his feet and cried loudly, "Dad, mom, I'm back. I'm finally back."

"Wuwu..." At this time, the other slaves began to cry, and the return of the Wanderers still touched the scene, not to mention that they had been enslaved for three years and suffered a lot. Be scanty of words,

Chen Wenlong, who has always been silent and never violated Xiao Ming's orders, said, "Your Highness, they are all the people of Qingzhou. The lower officials ask their highness to reestablish their registered residence for them, and to exempt them from their status as slaves. "

" it's natural. " Xiao Ming said to Lu Tong, "get up. Since you are the people of Qingzhou, you were once free, and you will be free today. "

as his voice dropped, none of the slaves meant to leave, but they looked at me and you in a daze.

Lu Tong then stood up and said, "Your Highness, my parents were killed by the barbarians to help me escape from the grassland. Now the cheap slaves are homeless, and most of them are like me. At that time, the barbarians plundered and killed so many people in Cangzhou that few of them can find all their families. "

Xiao Ming was silent for a long time. A poor and weak country will only make people suffer. Countless histories have proved this.

Thinking of this, he bowed to himself and said: "three years ago, Cangzhou lost its guard. Although the city guards abandoned the city and fled, I also have the unshirkable responsibility. Here, I apologize to you. "

" Your Highness, this... " Lu Tong was so astonished that he knelt down and said, "how dare you be your highness?"

When Zhao long and Zhao Hu saw Xiao Ming like this, they looked at each other and flashed a different color in their eyes.

Xiao Ming raised Lu Tong to his feet and said, "the barbarians are strong and powerful, but Qingzhou is poor and weak. It's the duty of the general to defend Cangzhou. But it's still the fact that our soldiers are not strong enough and our horses are not strong enough. We have never forgotten the humiliation of three years ago. Now we are working hard to revitalize the land and protect the people's peace in the future. Now we are employing people Where to go, can be willing to follow the great cause of Wang Xu Tu. "

Lu Tong and others are now nowhere to go, and the young people are warm-hearted. Xiao Ming's heroic words immediately make him feel surging. He said:" if your highness does not give up, I would like to be in front of the horse and behind the horse. "

Looking at the others, Xiao Ming found that some of them were as energetic as Lu Tong, while others seemed to have other worries.

He thought that it was impossible for everyone to lose their parents and be helpless like Lu Tong. He said, "I welcome those who are willing to stay with Lu Tong. If there are those who want to go home, I will not reluctantly give them money as my money."

"Thank you, your highness." Several voices rang out.

Xiao Ming then said to Chen Wenlong, "go and ask other slaves. If they belong to the people of Qingzhou, they will be free. If they need money, they will be given money. If they want to stay in the workshop, they will be paid monthly according to the craftsman."

"Yes." Chen Wenlong nodded and walked to the workshop. Meanwhile, Xiao Ming asked the young people who wanted to go back to follow Chen Wenlong.

One third of the three hundred people left in an instant, and two hundred remained. At this time, they all looked at Xiao Ming and waited for orders.

Now they are homeless, but Xiao Ming is willing to take them in as a prince. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the whole world. It's better than suffering on the grassland and being killed at any time.

Looking at the remaining 200 or so people, Xiao Ming said, "since you choose to stay, you will be the king's people in the future. This time, you are selected to teach you some special skills. Today, you will come back to Qingzhou with me and live in the courtyard next to king Qi's house. Tomorrow, I will teach you some skills. ""Yes, your highness." Lu Tong and others bowed and said.

Xiao Ming nodded and asked Zhao long and Zhao Hu to take them back. He didn't worry about whether these people would like to be craftsmen.

Compared with the status of slaves, this has been improved too much, and with the improvement of the status of craftsmen in Qingzhou in the future, he believes that these teenagers will be more happy with their identity.

This time, in order to cultivate a group of technical talents, Xiao Ming also paid a lot of money and bought a yard next door. This is for confidentiality and safety.

Because after getting through, the courtyard and the Royal Palace are supposed to build alleys. There is only a door in the middle.

After sending Lu Tong and others, Zhao long and Zhao Hu immediately went to the governor's house, and then there were 20 more fully armed elite bodyguards in the palace.

Although Xiao Ming arranged these 200 people, Zhao long and Zhao Hu raised their guard for Xiao Ming's safety. If these 200 people mutiny, it will be a big threat to the palace, just in case.

Xiao Ming doesn't object to this either. He doesn't think that he can make these teenagers tame with his words.

The specific qualities of these people need to be observed slowly in the future. After all, sometimes in his position, we can't do without a few minds. If these people can be steadfast in their duties in the future, they can't be better.

If he is eating at the expense of Qingzhou's interests, he will never be soft hearted. Since he is in the imperial family, he will never forget.

Because it will not only kill themselves, but also millions of people in the fiefdom.
