Nipoli issued his price list, which was indeed quite expensive.
A mature male slave wants two gold coins.
The prime-age female slave asked for a gold coin.
Fifty silver coins for children under ten years old.
This is the price of an ordinary slave.
Slaves with specialized skills were more expensive.
An experienced sailor costs five gold coins.
The craftsman wants three gold coins.
A beautiful female slave who can sing, dance and sing will cost two gold coins.
A slave who has fought in the war costs seven gold coins.
Gladiators cost ten gold coins.
Reggie knew that slave trading was a shameful thing, but looking at the dizzying list, his heart couldn't help but beat violently.
If there is no sale, there is no harm. Reggie knows how much blood and tears are behind the slaves.
But now is not the time to be the Holy Mother. Broken Snow City is in urgent need of replenishing its population. The slaves who come to Broken Snow City will be restored to freedom, which is a kind of rescue for them.
"I will consider your suggestion carefully. I just went to the Mountain of the Lost and feel very tired now. I also have a lot of government affairs to deal with. Forgive me that I can no longer accompany you."
"The Mountain of the Lost?" Nipoli asked in surprise, "Are you talking about the place full of mountain monsters and evil spirits?"
"Yes, that's right there. I stayed on the mountain for three days."
"Three days! My God, did you spend the night in the Lost Mountain?" Nipoli couldn't believe what Reggie said.
"Is there anything strange about this? The eastern slope of the Lost Mountain is my territory. Shouldn't I go and see my people?" Reggie liked to see the other person's surprised expression. He wanted to make this
The mermaid feels the intimidating power of a strong man.
"Treat Broken Snow City as your home. Stay a few more days and wait for news from me."
Reggie left the house, and Old Hill immediately chased after him.
"Sir, I don't like Nipoli's arrogance either, but he is indeed the most powerful businessman on the continent. I hope you don't have any grudges. I just want to help you make wealth."
"Of course I don't have a grudge," Reggie said with a smile. "Who would have trouble with gold coins? I believe he is a reliable business partner. Treat him well and don't neglect him. Thirty-five thousand gold coins in three months.
In a few years, Shattered Snow City will be richer than the entire Kingdom of Ryan!"
Reggie smiled very happily, which also made old Hill feel at ease.
"About slaves, what are your thoughts..."
"Buy! Of course I have to buy it!" Reggie answered very simply, "I want craftsmen, sailors, beautiful girls, cool guys, I want them all. I want a lot of them. I will give you a list tomorrow. Don't be stingy with gold coins, just buy them.
!”
Reggie's open-mindedness made Old Hill happy. Reggie wanted to give him some money and ask him to entertain Nipoli as well as possible, but Old Hill refused.
"I benefit from this business. You don't have to pay me any compensation. Just leave the other things to me."
Maybe old Hill should be allowed to become a commercial officer, but Reggie always felt that the official management model was not suitable for him. Back at the castle, the first thing Reggie saw was not Shirley, but Modesa's striking figure.
He sat outside the castle door, waiting for Reggie to come back.
Seeing Reggie, Modesa stood up immediately. He seemed to have a lot to say but didn't know how to say it.
"How is the work at sea? Does it feel hard?" Reggie invited Modessa to the living room and asked Shirley to get a large can of ale. This stuff is really addictive.
"It's not hard work, I'm used to it," Modesa took out two gold coins and handed them to Reggie, "This is what Old Hill gave me."
"This is your reward, why do you want to give it to me?"
"You have already paid me, I should not..."
"Take it, you deserve it." Reggie ate bacon and drank ale. He felt really good at home. "We made a big deal today. Old Hill will give you more."
remuneration."
"I won't go to sea again. Leave this matter to Doranor." Modessa picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. "I expressed my opinion to Commander Erwin that I want to join your guard."
"Guard? A good choice." Reggie nodded. He also felt that Modessa was very suitable to be a guard.
"Commander Erwin said he would conduct an assessment on me and asked me to wait for a month. I really don't want to wait any longer. If you agree, I can stand guard for you tonight."
"I'm afraid that won't work," Reggie shook his head and said, "Since you want to join the Guard, you have to obey the captain's command."
Modesa was a little disappointed, but he didn't have much. After drinking another large glass of ale, he left Reggie's castle.
After eating and drinking, it was time for Reggie to start working. Ten days was not a long time, and the pressure to produce a thousand pounds of white phosphorus was also great. Fortunately, there was an inexhaustible supply of raw materials in the sea.
Reggie spent four hours designing a production line, starting from boiling salt, to the kiln for the reduction reaction, and then to the exquisite purification laboratory. The entire production line can produce 200 pounds of white phosphorus every day, but the production line
It will take at least three days.
During this period, workers still need to be trained, the design needs to be improved, and technical details need to be further improved. Reggie grabbed his hair hard and shouldn't make a promise to Nipoli easily. The ten days were really too tight.
In any case, this is the best choice that can be made under the current technical conditions. After completing the design of the production line, Reggie started the population expansion plan with a little guilt.
He doesn't need girls who can sing and dance, he doesn't need gladiators, he doesn't even need too many soldiers.
He needs craftsmen, who are the foundation of the industrial age, and he needs to add at least five hundred craftsmen.
Sailors are also needed, and fifteen warships require at least 300 sailors.
Farmers are also needed. His territory is large, but there are too few laborers to cultivate it.
Finally, he decided to purchase 2,000 slaves from Nipoli.
Money comes quickly and is spent quickly. Thousands of gold coins were sold in the blink of an eye. However, the price-performance ratio of this transaction is very high. These people will bring endless opportunities to Broken Snow City.
The tired Reggie stretched himself. Just as he was about to fall asleep, Shirley's scream suddenly came from downstairs.
Reggie rushed out the door, only to see Modessa, the God of Death, pushing aside all the guards and rushing straight to the second floor.
What happened? Is this guy crazy? Did rejecting his request drive him crazy?
Considering that Erwin's work was too hard, Reggie gave him a day off and he did not stay in the castle today.
Now it seems that this choice is not wise. Except for Erwin, no one can stop Modessa.
Seeing Modeza rushing to the second floor, Reggie was still trying to calm him down.
"Relax, I understand your mood, we can solve the problem in another way, it is unwise for you to do so..."
Modesa remained silent. He passed by Reggie silently and walked into Reggie's bedroom.
What does this mean? Isn’t he here for you?
Reggie looked at Modesa in astonishment, but saw that Modesa directly opened the box placed in the corner. There were some books and sundries in the box. Reggie really didn't understand Modesa's intention, but saw that Modesa opened the box in the corner.
Sa performed the magic trick of transforming a living person into a living person.
He pulled a person out of the box, a woman.
Then he lifted the woman into the air and threw her heavily to the ground.
The woman didn't make any sound and fell to the ground unconscious.
Reggie squatted next to the woman, lifted his hair and took a look.
"If it's really her, only she can do this."
Lying on the ground was Sophia. Reggie tried her nostrils. Fortunately, she was still breathing.
