Chapter 2503 The Immortal’s Contract(1/3)
Anyone with a lot of wealth will try their best to convert their food, property, and materials into slaves and children.
Rather than houses, food, and land.
Because those things can be taken away by the devil at any time.
The house may be changed overnight, and the opponent's name may be written on the deed.
Then his opponent takes it and gives him a hard time.
And only those family members, slaves, and dead soldiers who can be controlled are the most precious wealth.
As long as you have a large number of controllable souls, you can get everything.
This is the real hard currency in this world.
Only the soul is something that the devil cannot just take.
Human consent is required.
However, dead soldiers and slaves are controllable by humans.
The devil cannot take it directly, but the master of a person can force slaves and dead soldiers to sell their souls.
Therefore, this abnormal model has allowed the wealth in this world to flow rapidly.
Even the top wealth owners cannot have fixed wealth.
Instead, it has a large number of people, especially dead soldiers.
The slave is also very likely to refuse the master's soul exchange.
The cost of training dead soldiers is very high.
It is not easy to train a person to be a dead soldier.
If it were really easy, there wouldn't be so many betrayers in ancient times, and the ancient feudal army wouldn't mutiny and betray easily.
Therefore, Wen Rensheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
In this world, the problems of land annexation and wealth accumulation have been cleverly solved through this method.
Land annexation does not exist here.
Why did ancient rich people annex land?
The reason is that they can possess more wealth through land.
Land was the most stable way of accumulating wealth in ancient society.
You can gain wealth every year.
However, here, because of the existence of devils and contracts, a poor man can sell his soul to take away all the food produced on the landlord's land.
In this case, occupying land is a thankless task.
However, another problem arises.
Does that mean there will be no more people farming?
After all, you can sell your soul in exchange for food.
It caused a lot of confusion at first.
Until the devil begins to be restricted by world consciousness, everyone has a fixed harvest of ten acres of land, which cannot be taken away by the devil.
This prevents no one from producing food.
Of course no one wants to produce too much.
So it doesn't make much sense for you to own the land.
Of course, according to Wen Rensheng, there are still many loopholes in this.
But since this world can function, there must be loopholes that have been fixed in some places.
And the most interesting thing about this world is that people's power comes from getting enough souls that are loyal to you.
A soul that is truly loyal to you.
So those leaders are all charming 99 existences.
A leader who is not charismatic enough, a leader who is cruel and harsh, can easily be betrayed by his relatives.
Because many people will consume their souls and let the devil carry his wealth.
A pauper will soon be betrayed by his family, and he will not be able to keep his wife and children, let alone his subordinates?
And a leader who is charismatic enough can even make his subordinates willing to sacrifice their souls to the devil.
If you lack something, you can force the souls of your men to make a promise to the devil and let the devil bring it.
So the soul is the currency in this world.
All in all, all the consultants, including Wen Rensheng, were eye-opening.
I have to say that this world is indeed strange.
After reading it, Wen Rensheng nodded, and then said to everyone: "Okay, everyone has read it."
"Now we can learn these things."
Then they began to study the contracts carefully.
First they start going to school well.
School is always one of the easiest places to learn new knowledge.
Wen Rensheng also entered a school.
The teacher is very responsible.
They were taught by an old man.
The old man began to tell them the things to note when signing a contract with the devil.
Of course, all the devils are called immortals in the old man's mouth.
"How to sign a contract with an immortal?"
The old man looked at everyone.
Wen Rensheng understood that in the eyes of these world lords, they were devils.
But in the eyes of these ordinary people, the devil is a fairy.
"If you want to sign a contract with an immortal, you must first be sincere and spiritual."
“The more sincere you are, the easier it is to sign a contract.”
After saying this, the old man continued: "Just now I was just talking on the stage, now I am talking about something real."
"The more sincere you are, the easier it is to sign a contract. That's because you are sincere, which means you are easy to deceive..."
"So we have to read the contract carefully."
"I'm telling you in advance, even if you don't practice immortality, don't sign the contract rashly."
"If you don't cultivate immortality, you can live to be 80 years old. You can sign a contract with an immortal at will. Today you will get started in cultivation, and tomorrow the whole village will have a feast."
“Confirm your understanding before signing the contract.”
"You can't just sign it casually."
The old man said patiently.
Below, a group of young people in their twenties, about the same age as Wen Rensheng, were all attentive.
There is no arguing.
Because they have heard of it more or less.
Then the old man began to teach with examples.
"For example, in ancient times, a scholar and an immortal signed a contract."
"He wants the immortal to give him strength."
"And the immortal said that he could give him power, but then he would take away his soul."
"This person agreed rashly."
"However, he knew nothing about the contract, so he did not specify in the contract when to take away the soul."
"So one moment he had the power of an immortal, and then the next moment his soul was taken away and he died."
"This is the most typical negative example of not understanding the contract and signing the contract at will."
Wen Rensheng nodded.
When doing business in the early years, many people made the same mistake when signing contracts with foreigners.
I didn't notice the trap in the contract at all, so I bought someone else's equipment, only to find that I had to continue to buy parts and the maintenance could only be done by the original factory.
Even the machine cannot be moved...
To be continued...
