Chapter 13 Pulling Coolies
The water diversion project of Xiaoma River started today. Ling Feng was about to get up early in the morning to attend the start-up ceremony.
Ling Feng was already very late by then, and there was not much to do. He just went through the motions and started construction. Everyone did this just for good luck.
Two hundred slaves at the scene started work at the same time, and Ling Feng also knew the general requirements for work from Uncle Ling.
The slaves were divided into two batches, one of which built river embankments next to Xiaoma River and strengthened the river embankments so that during the flood prevention period, the flood directly broke the dam and flowed to the crops.
Another group of slaves were directed to dig a canal between Xiaoma River and the sinkhole, bringing water into the sinkhole, and creating a huge pond.
The canal needs to be dug ten meters wide and five meters deep. This is not a small project. Even if the closest straight line distance has been selected, it is still two thousand meters long.
More than a hundred slaves kept digging. There were no excavators here, so they could only use shovels, shovels and shovels. Fortunately, the physical strength of the people here is much higher than that of the people Ling Feng had on Earth before.
Although the body is strong, there are only more than a hundred slaves who dig it, and it takes twenty days to dig it through. This efficiency is already very high, but Ling Feng is still not very satisfied.
Ling Feng asked Uncle Ling and asked, "Uncle Ling, it's still too slow to dig like this. We can hire some people to dig."
Uncle Ling also knew what Ling Feng was thinking and replied to Ling Feng: "Young Master, the villagers are all busy in the fields, and they really can't find anyone."
Ling Feng looked at it, and it was true. He originally thought that he could buy a batch of slaves and come back, but there were only slaves sold nearby, which is the nearest Red Leaf City. It took him almost twenty days to go back and forth.
Ling Feng was also very surprised when he first arrived at Jiyuan Continent. He did not expect that there were actually slave traders on Jiyuan Continent. This place didn’t look like a very backward place. Why would people sell slaves?
Later, after learning about Ling Feng, I realized that the continent was calm on the surface, but there were many kingdoms under the empire, and countless principalities under the kingdom.
With so many countries, there will inevitably be no war. It can be said that the principality is established and destroyed every day.
Those who were displaced due to war, those captured by the defeated country, and those who did not have so much food to support the victorious country, were all bought as slaves, so that they could make some money.
In addition, some warlocks like to study and often use people to do experiments, but they will be wanted when catching ordinary people, so they choose to buy slaves directly.
Driven by interests, there will be people who will use any means. In addition, slave trade is an industry that is profitable, so slave trade has emerged.
Although slave trade is not carried out in the sun, it is basically available in every city. Not necessarily ordinary people are sold, even warriors and warlocks, and even other races are sold.
Just letting the slaves dig up like this is not a solution. Ling Feng was thinking about how to speed up the completion.
At present, the shortage of manpower in the territory is a big problem. Where should I find some people? Suddenly, Ling Feng smiled mysteriously.
Zhuzi was so scared that he thought: Someone is going to be in trouble again.
Ling Feng thought that there was a large group of people in the territory who had nothing to do, so why didn't he ask them to come?
Thinking of Ling Feng, he set out immediately and walked towards Wolong Peak in diameter.
What he was looking for was the Ling Family Army. The Ling Family Army had not participated in any major actions since its establishment. Every day, it was either practicing or sleeping, and wasting food. Ling Feng felt that it would not be too much to arrange something for them to do.
What's more, only one of the Ling family troops has been practicing to break through to the warrior, that is Ling Yun.
Then there are a large number of people who are pushing the peak of martial arts disciples. Ling Feng feels that they are too lazy. In addition, Ling Feng plans to re-establish the Ling family army after the farm is built.
The territory of the Ling Family Army is halfway up the mountainside of Wolong Peak. There is a cultivation site in front, and the Ling Family Army’s residence and slave residence on both sides are respectively.
When Ling Feng arrived, he found that although the Ling family army was practicing, he had no sense of urgency at all, and he was like playing casually. He was very upset to watch Ling Feng.
At first, I didn’t realize that Ling Feng was coming. After all, there was no fun in this kind of place, so Ling Feng might not come.
Several people gathered together to chat, and Ling Chong and Ling Yun didn't know where they went.
Ling Feng, who was far away, heard the sound of their conversation, as if he was still talking about himself.
Soldier Ar said, "You said that our young master has such a lot of manpower and material resources just to dig a canal, why?"
Soldier Yi said: "Who knows that these rich children are all full and have nothing to do. I look down on him. You even called the young master and asked me to say..."
"Stop talking, get up and practice." When Soldier Ar saw Ling Feng coming, he obviously recognized Ling Feng and immediately asked Soldier Ar not to talk nonsense.
However, Soldier A didn't know what was going on, and thought Soldier B was considering it, so he said, "What are you afraid of? Others can't hear it. The captain's deputy team went to inspect the mountain, so what else can you worry about?"
Soldier Ar turned his back to Ling Feng, not knowing that Ling Feng came to the back, but seeing Soldier B becoming more and more nervous, he finally felt something was wrong.
The soldier turned his head and saw that it was the young master he had been talking about. He thought to himself: What to do, what to do, he won’t hear it all, hey! My mouth is so bad.
Ling Feng pretended that he didn't hear anything and walked slowly to the middle of the square where he was practicing.
"Cough!" Ling Feng cleared his throat and said, "Everyone comes to gather."
Maybe he was used to being lazy. When Ling Family Army heard Ling Feng's shouting, he just walked slowly to gather.
Ling Feng frowned and ordered, "Give you half a minute, it's not time to recharge slaves."
Zhuzi pretended to take out a book and an iron stick, as if he would sign a contract as a slave as long as he didn't gather. Iron stick said it clearly that resistance would be ineffective.
Sure enough, in less than ten seconds, the Ling family army gathered together. They dared not offend Ling Feng, let alone they could not beat him even if they wanted to.
Ling Feng stood quietly like this, without saying a word.
The Ling family army didn't understand what Ling Feng was going to do, so they had to stand still nervously and didn't even dare to move.
Even Zhuzi felt strange. The only thing he knew was that the young master must have a reason for doing this, just stand by and watch the show.
The Ling family army was holding it in, and didn't know what medicine was sold in Ling Feng's gourd, so they had to stand up uneasy.
After about half an hour, Ling Feng finally spoke: "I came here today, and there is a very important thing that you need to do, but what you saw for me was so disappointing."
Ling Feng's disappointment was not pretending, but was really disappointed, but he still had time to rectify it now.
After hearing Ling Feng's words, Ling Family Army felt uncomfortable. His actions were indeed sorry for the Ling Family's cultivation of them.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Feng said, "I won't pursue the past. When you go down the mountain with me, go straight to the fields to exercise and help me dig a canal."
The Ling family army thought that Ling Feng was caught in this way, so this should be the punishment Ling Feng had given them, and they followed Ling Feng down the mountain without any complaints.
Zhuzi couldn't help but complain in his heart: The punishment is fake, and the coolie is real.
