Chapter 56 Maintenance of Slaves

If you want to build your own power, it is not enough to be alone.

As a traveler from modern society, Chen Heng deeply understands this truth.

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

Slaves are an excellent source of manpower.

Slaves acquired through buying and selling were deprived of all their rights and belonged to their masters. No matter how they were treated, no one would hold them accountable.

Under normal circumstances, except for a small number of slaves with special value, the vast majority of slaves and those lords would not pay attention.

Because they, as lords, have the right to control their own people to a certain extent, whether they are fighting or doing other things, they have free and cheap cannon fodder to use.

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

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

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

Therefore, a considerable part of the slaves under the lord of the north were absorbed by Chen Heng and bought by him.

For more than a year, most of the profits he has earned in Kutu City have been filled in on it.

He placed the purchased slaves in his manor, built a simple workshop in it, used water power and assembly lines to produce, and then sold the things produced in his manor through his own relationship.

For these, Baron Kaysen is not clear.

But at this moment, he can also feel the specialness of these people under Chen Heng.

Compared with ordinary people, these black-haired slaves under Chen Heng were too capable.

Moreover, not only are they capable, but the eyes and expressions they look at Chen Heng are also very wrong.

The existence of slaves was not unheard of by Baron Kaysen.

There are many slaves on his own estate, in which they are engaged in heavy agricultural work.

It's just that in his impression, the eyes and expressions of those slaves are often numb and fearful.

It was as if he had lost hope and the future, and he could not see the slightest anger.

But those under Chen Heng were a little different.

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

Not at all what a slave should look like.

Moreover, the bodies of these slaves also seem to be very good, and they do not feel weak and decadent like other slaves.

"how did you do it?"

After observing silently for a while, Baron Kaysen could not help but ask this question.

He felt that there were too many things that he couldn't understand in his child.

His ability is so strong that many things he does cannot be understood and understood by others.

"Give them hope."

Facing Baron Kaysen's doubts, Chen Heng's answer was also very direct.

"People and tools are different in the end."

He looked at the hard-working black-haired slave in front of him, and said softly, "Tools can be reused, but they also require daily maintenance."

"As a special tool, a slave also needs to be maintained."

Speaking of this, he said lightly: "Give them enough sleep and rest time, and relatively sufficient food, this is daily maintenance, so that they will not collapse and have problems with their bodies."

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

"Doing these points well, coupled with appropriate means, can greatly improve the efficiency of their work..."

Baron Kaysen was stunned for a moment. He seemed to understand a little, but he also seemed to be incomprehensible.

Give slaves enough time to rest and enough food?

This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with what he imagined.

In order to save costs, who does not want slaves to eat the least and simplest food and do the most and most tiring work?

It is best not to have even a little time for yourself every day, and to earn the most benefits for yourself.

But when it comes to Chen Heng, it seems to be a little different.

"The human body needs to be maintained."

Looking at Baron Kaysen, Chen Heng continued to speak and explained to him: "If you want a slave to do a good job, a good body is the key."

"And to be healthy, proper food is also a must."

"If you use poor quality for a long time, your body will become weaker and weaker. At that time, even if you use a whip to drive you away, you won't be able to do more work."

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

He spoke softly and explained to Baron Kaysen.

Listening to his explanation, Baron Kaysen nodded and seemed to understand.

"I'm always at ease when you do things."

In the end, he stopped asking about this, but instead said: "This time, when you go to Baron Myra, take Ormando with you."

"Exactly, let him do something too."

"it is good."

Chen Heng nodded and didn't seem to care about this issue.

a few days later.

After all the goods arrived this time, Chen Heng set off again.

Compared to the previous few times, this time is very important.

In the previous few times, because the trade had just started, the surrounding lords were only tentatively expanding, and the transaction volume was not large.

But this time is different.

This time, when he went to the territory of Baron Myra, Chen Heng took away almost all the goods that had been transported during this time. The value was very high. To put it bluntly, it was a sum that even Baron Kaysen would be shocked. .

Once something goes wrong, I am afraid the loss will be huge.

It is precisely because this transaction is so important that during this trip, Baron Kaysen almost brought out most of the guards in his territory.

Baron Kaysen and Ormando also accompanied the team.

"so much......."

As he rode his horse on the road, Ormando looked at the boxes around him being pulled by bulls and horses, and his heart was full of fire.

He knew very well what was in these boxes.

So he also roughly understood how much wealth it contained.

And once this deal is done, what a huge profit his family will get.

As long as he thought of this, he couldn't help but heat up and felt a burst of excitement.

At this moment, he still doesn't know that the ownership of these things is not the family behind him, but Chen Heng himself.

When he thought about it, the value of this batch of goods was so huge that it was impossible for Chen Heng to have it anyway.

Most of it was funded by Baron Kaysen, and Chen Heng purchased it from the lord of the north, and it belonged to the entire family.

And the wealth belonging to the family will naturally belong to him in the future.

As long as he thinks of this, his mood can't help but be excited and feel a burst of fire.
