As a humble Party B, Grayson accepted Li Ke's proposal obediently.
At this time, Mr. Hesenway also spoke.
"If what you said is true, then I can indeed contact a large number of caravans, but the main question is, do you need anything here?"
Hesenway looked at Li Ke, subconsciously pressed his lips, and his body swayed slightly.
Obviously, under his serious face, there is an active soul. Li Ke couldn't help but think of the female adventurer Natalia, whose face, figure, and even manners and temperament were like a princess and queen, but when she opened her mouth, she was a fucking bastard.
.
Both of them are so incompatible with their appearance.
"Walder? And Lagertha, please talk about your needs here. Since we are friends, we can be honest with each other. There is no need to worry, right? And Grayson, please tell those who are engaged in agriculture and Val
Call them over and see what they need."
Li Ke looked at his dragon expert. Of course, he knew that stating his needs in front of the seller, Hesenway, would definitely make the price higher, but he was not doing it to make money, and he was not an ordinary person.
He wants to overthrow all the kingdoms, and if he is on good terms with Jaina, giving some profits to Kul Tiras is not a big problem.
And the most important thing is that he can use high prices to stimulate his team and give them more motivation to develop new technologies for themselves.
Then he deceives those suppliers so that he can complete the acquisition and cut off their retreat.
So, he stepped aside and prepared to let Walder and Lagertha talk. This was also a characteristic of this era. People who were really in charge would not talk about this matter.
If you are not elegant, you will appear to be too philistine and have no one in your family.
And once a quarrel breaks out during negotiations, no one can mediate, which will make it impossible to discuss some things that can be discussed.
Of course, you will also be deceived, but this depends on your personal operation and control.
But now he doesn't have to worry about this. Everyone is talking around him, and it's a ghost if he can't hear.
In addition, he was going to talk to Miss Teresta about contacting elves and make an appointment to take a nap at noon.
On the table is the tea from the elves brought by Teresita. As far as Li Ke is concerned, the craftsmanship is impeccable. Even a person like him who doesn't understand tea can taste the aroma of the tea, and magic is added to it. It only takes one sip.
, will give people a refreshing feeling.
But as soon as his dragon expert opened his mouth, Li Ke almost spit out the tea in his mouth.
"slave."
Walder looked at Hesenway seriously.
"We need a lot of slaves, Mr. Hesenway, preferably Dark Iron dwarves and strong enough humans. Our mines need a lot of people."
slave?
slave??
wait!!
Li Ke stood up in shock, intending to explain, but he saw Hessenway showing a thoughtful expression.
This made him even more stunned.
Didn’t it say that the Alliance has no slaves?!
Li Ke tried hard to recall his memory of Warcraft. He still remembered it very clearly. Except for orcs, goblins and trolls, basically all friendly races have no slaves!
But why is Hesenway's performance so weird?!
"Well, this has been a little difficult to deal with recently. After all, the Alliance prohibits the trade of slaves, but I have friends in Stormwind City and Lordaeron... so we can only provide some criminals and sailors, but please remember,
Mr. Walder, slaves do not exist in the Alliance. The three hundred people I brought to you will be released after they have served thirty years in the place you designated. Huh? Mr. Li Ke, what do you have?
Something?"
Hesenway looked at Li Ke strangely, not understanding why Li Ke looked so surprised.
"It's nothing, the tea is just a little hot."
Li Ke made an excuse at random, but Grayson, who came back almost at the speed of light, showed a look of shock and disbelief. He came directly to Li Ke, touched the teapot, and then changed it without hesitation.
share.
Its speed was so fast that Li Ke had no time to stop it, which made him feel a little distressed about the tea leaves.
But after this fuss, he understood what was going on.
It is true that the Alliance has no slaves.
Although there are indentured farmers and indentured servants who would not be cared for even if they were beaten to death, there are indeed no slaves in the alliance's participating and constituent countries.
But there are criminals in the alliance.
The Alliance is quite humane. It is so humane that criminals can choose to accept the death penalty or accept working as a sailor, miner or other laborer to reduce their sentence in exchange for their own lives.
Even becoming a pioneer farmer is the choice of many serious criminals and light criminals.
Don't think that development is easy. There is a difference between ancient times and modern times. In modern times, you can cultivate the land by plowing it several times with various large-scale machinery, and then spraying it with chemicals and pesticides several times. The water conservancy and irrigation system requires a professional construction team to come over.
It only takes a few days for the money to arrive.
The pioneers of this era did not have machinery. They had to cut down the trees first, then remove as many stones as possible from the ground, including stones the size of pomegranate seeds, then burn the ground to kill the insects, and constantly plow and level the fields——
Then there is the water conservancy project.
The whole process takes about two or three years before a piece of land is considered a piece of land, and there is no guarantee of the production of this land. Not only that, during this period, you have no source of income or food, and you must find ways to hunt or buy food yourself.
.
Moreover, there is no medical treatment, no supermarket, and no livestock to help. If you run away, you will be wanted, and if you are found, you will be hanged directly.
Basically, criminals who choose to be pioneers are almost dead when they are halfway through pioneering.
As for those who choose to be sailors and miners, well, most of them are death row prisoners and serious criminals, so they generally only live for one or two years. Only a handful of them can survive until the end of their sentence, and then suffer from injuries all over.
He left with an old body and no money.
The slaves lived much better than them.
At least most slave owners would provide food and basic medical care.
Li Ke doesn't like this kind of inefficient thing. He really doesn't like it. He has many ways to make people responsible for their own food, clothing, housing, transportation, and medical safety, and then gives him happy work for more than 12 hours a day.
of.
He really didn't like the slave and felon rationing system.
He called it inefficiency.
"Human beings are really barbaric and vulgar."
Teresita took a sip of tea with an attitude of "You humans are so inferior and barbaric", which made Li Ke's eyebrows jump uncontrollably.
