Mi Tie appeared with the 100,000 slaves he promised Liu Zheng.
Zheng Yueru originally wanted to go to Yintan City directly, but was stopped by Liu Zheng.
"Please do not!"
Liu Zheng was startled and asked Zheng Yueru to tell Mire to gather all the slaves at the first stop on the Silk Road, Yinzhou Post!
This is the first post house built by Yinzhou in the Gobi in the past two months.
Although the posthouse is not large, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The remaining people can still live in tents or something like that. Then Liu Zheng took Zheng Yueru, Du Biao, and Pei Qianyun, galloping all the way, taking a look at the cement road he had paved in the desert...
"Brother Liu, why is this?"
Zheng Yueru didn't understand. Aren't these slaves Liu Zheng had always been thinking about? When this time came, Liu Zheng told him that he would stay in Yinzhouyi for half a month before entering Yintan City.
Du Biao didn't understand either.
Liu Zheng replied: "Because of illness!"
Zheng Yueru's expression changed: "Brother Liu, are you talking about the plague?"
Du Biao asked strangely: "Sir, Mire won't harm us like this, right?"
Liu Zheng explained with a smile: "This has nothing to do with whether he is harmful or not. It is that people who migrate long distances will always carry viruses and bacteria from other places..."
"Well, you can understand them as pathogens. Maybe they are fine in Africa and Arabia, but when they come to Longyan, they will cause disease due to changes in the climate and environment. Do you understand?"
Liu Zheng is not a doctor, and he doesn't understand medicine.
But he felt that it was prudent to do so. The concept of viruses in later generations made him understand that viruses on the earth have always coexisted with humans.
It's just that some viruses, after humans develop antibodies, will not cause any harm to humans.
but……
Once the living environment changes drastically, these viruses can easily jump out.
In fact, the so-called "acclimatization", studied from a scientific perspective, is the reason. Due to the influence of climate, environment and food, some viruses are more likely to mutate and poison humans.
Since ancient times, there have actually been many plagues caused by long-distance migration.
In this regard, Liu Zheng did not dare to take any risks. So, it’s better to take a hard trip yourself.
Along the way, the cement road looked so abrupt in the desert, but it added a lot of vitality to this place that humans had never conquered. According to Liu Zheng's request, the desert must not only pave the road, but also manage it! So beside the cement road, some plants began to be planted with common sense.
Cement roads in the desert not only facilitate transportation, but more importantly, they can also consolidate sand and water, which is of great help to the improvement of the environment.
The cement road is for those camel and horse teams.
As for a single horse, it is more comfortable to gallop on the sand.
"Is it this far already?"
The further Liu Zheng walked, the more sense of accomplishment he felt in his heart.
It has only been two or three months, and more than a hundred miles of cement roads have been paved! If this continues, within a few years, the entire Silk Road will become the focus of the world's attention.
"It's just ahead!"
Zheng Yueru pointed.
Sure enough, after running over a small hill, not far away, I saw an earth and stone building standing in the desert, which made people fascinated to see it.
"Brother Mire!"
"Master Liu!"
"Is Du San in charge?"
When several people met, they were extremely enthusiastic.
When Mire heard that Du Biao also started to follow Liu Zheng, he was shocked at first, and then became happy. The three of them already knew each other and each had their own dealings. It would be much more convenient if they could work together.
"Sir, if there are one hundred thousand slaves, thousands of them will be lost along the way!"
Mire looked apologetic.
Liu Zheng recalled the first time he walked to Lop Nur, and how dangerous it was. It still made him frightened. He smiled and said, "Brother Mire, don't worry about it. Come on, let's go in and talk."
Mire looked at the cement road with burning eyes: "Is this the Silk Road that is rumored by the outside world? The young master is really talented and resourceful!"
It is conceivable that when this cement road leads to Loulan, according to Long Yan's strong strength, he can attack the Western Region in a few days, which makes Mi Ze feel a little uneasy.
Liu Zheng seemed to know what Mire was thinking and smiled without saying a word.
After a few people chatted for a while, Liu Zheng saw the 100,000 slaves gathered at Yinzhou Post. People of all colors were roped into one place by Mire's Arab army. It seems that Liu Zheng is still thinking too much... He also wants to arrange a place for these slaves to live. It seems that it is not easy for them to survive.
Some people even had no clothes to wear.
Some are tall, some are short, some are fat, some are thin, and some are women...
Variety.
Mire smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, these slaves are very honest. I have already helped you train them."
Liu Zheng muttered: "If you stay here for seven days first, if you are in good health, we will arrange to work in Yintan City! Let them eat and drink well these days."
Liu Zheng is not as optimistic as Mire.
Although slaves in this era do have a strong servility, people are born to yearn for freedom, and so do slaves. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Regarding the management of slaves, Liu Zheng felt that it was better to have some snacks.
Don't expect to influence them, but at least you shouldn't persecute them.
Liu Zheng still plans to leave the management of these slaves to Jiang Xuan.
This kid, the special agent team has done a great job, and he should be allowed to play in big scenes.
When Jiang Xuan arrived at Yinzhou Post, Liu Zheng ordered: "Jiang Xuan, these 100,000 people will be handed over to you, and then you go and hand over to Counselor Wei. But remember one thing, 100,000 people, although we don't expect that there will be any No matter how talented you are, if you have outstanding abilities, you must be rewarded and punished, and you must not treat them like pigs or dogs!"
"yes!"
Jiang Xuan was also very excited.
For seven days, according to Liu Zheng's arrangement, some of the 100,000 slaves, some of whom were not accustomed to the acclimatization and were seriously ill, were left here.
Fortunately, there were only about 300 people.
The others drove into Silver Beach City in a mighty manner.
Wei Tiezhu and other heads of departments in Yintan City have been looking forward to it for a long time.
Silver Beach City’s labor force is really in short supply!
Even with more and more local labor joining, it still cannot support the production speed of Silver Beach City. With the influx of 100,000 laborers, who wouldn’t want them?
"Our brewery will provide at least 10,000 yuan!"
"Fuck you, then our fine iron workshop only needs 20,000!"
"Where is our weapons workshop?"
The heads of each department were all fired up.
Jiang Xuan had a splitting headache: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Don't just ask for people, I ask you, if this person wants to go over, can you understand what they are saying?"
Several people were instantly stunned.
These slaves don't know how to speak Longyan.
How to communicate?
Jiang Xuan said with a proud smile: "So, don't worry, the young master said, let me come for a few days of pre-job training before I can send it to you!"
Several people curled their lips.
Soon, 100,000 people were arranged to live in Silver Beach City - ten people per room, one hundred people per team, one thousand people per battalion, and ten thousand people per regiment. The brothers were arranged by Jiang Xuan to teach them simple Longyan language and literacy.
Based on the performance of these people, each team, each battalion, and each regiment selected a leader from among the slaves. This not only gave these slaves some leadership, but also facilitated management.
in addition.
Jiang Xuan also announced a policy.
However, any slave who works in Silver Beach City can escape from slavery and become a free citizen in twenty years!
Encourage slaves to marry and have children, and all children born to them will be free citizens!
However, we must resolutely put an end to intermarriage between slaves and locals, and the Yinzhou government will severely punish this!
This caused an uproar among the 100,000 slaves.
The dull eyes of these people brightened a bit.
People are like this, once they have hope in life, they will work harder.
Qingyang Shuo looked at Liu Zheng next to him with a smile: "General Jiang has the air of a general."
Liu Zheng also nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, he felt relieved.
At night, Jiang Xuan came to Liu Zheng's room excitedly, barged in without knocking on the door, and said excitedly: "Young Master, you really let me discover a great talent!"
"oh?"
Liu Zheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
