Chapter 386 Slaves of Ryan Country

Emir always refused to sell grain, after all, he had not seen the true effect of the poison. Fortunately, Nipoli was well prepared, and he did not return empty-handed, but bought back more than 4,000 slaves.

These slaves are not the hard-working Dongsang people, nor the orcs who are good at conquering and fighting, but the expensive Lane people. This surprises Reggie. Although the Lane country cannot be compared with the White Tower Country, it is also the best on the mainland.

How could the Lane people, one of the most powerful nations, become slaves?

The reasons behind this are very complicated. Firstly, Charlemagne’s crazy exploitation cut off the livelihood of the Lane people. Since the defeat, Charlemagne increased the offerings to 70%. This does not include the turns of exploitation by lords and lords from all over the country, and the farmers’ families.

The few remaining grains were plundered, and the premature grains in the south were also plundered.

Secondly, the Lion Country encountered a war. This did not refer to the civil war between Charlemagne and Chris, but the invasion from other countries. The declining Lion Country became an attractive source of fat, Benlang Country, and Sky Star.

country, the Golden Eagle country, and even the uncontested Di

All of you wanted to get a share of the Lion Kingdom. Under the siege of various countries, the Lion Kingdom lost seven cities. The residents of these cities naturally became slaves of the victorious country. Most of them were sent to Shazhou City, where there were

The largest slave market on the continent.

Reggie also couldn't figure out Nipoli's true thoughts. According to his explanation, the reason why he bought slaves from the Lane Kingdom was because the cultures of Lane and Shattered Snow City were the same, so there was no need to consider the six-point rule, and the Lane people were better than each other.

The Dongsang people are easy to tame, and they are used to being submissive.

At this point, Nipoli's judgment was not wrong. Out of consideration for the current situation, Reggie set very harsh rules for this group of new residents. Each of them could rent a piece of land at most, but no matter what kind of land they rented,

Land or not, you must turn in three thousand pounds of grain every year, otherwise you will face heavy hard labor.

Sulit helped Tire settle this group of new residents, and they were indeed easier to tame than others. They were not picky about food or housing, and they had no complaints about Reggie's high land rent.

"Did you see that fat man with the mustache? He used to be a baron. I once met him. Do you know how arrogant he is? He invited my father to dinner, but let me sit at the servants' table.

There is not even a piece of meat on my plate, so he said I am not qualified to eat meat."

Sulit looked at this group of Lane slaves with gloating, there were many people he knew, and these people were all nobles with a certain status.

"And that woman, that beautiful woman with the hat. At the banquet, my brother glanced at her too much, and she ridiculed her all night. She even made my father apologize to her in public. My brother

My father is so spineless that he actually apologized to her, and that middle-aged man, I also saw him at my father’s banquet..."

Tyr shook his head and said: "Stop talking about this. I don't know these people at all, but there is one person I still recognize. Look at that man. If I guessed correctly, that is your father."

"Don't make such disgusting jokes..." Sulit punched Tyer, but found that Tyer was not lying. Following his hand and counting, Sulit really saw his father.

His father deliberately pulled his collar high, and he was trying his best to avoid other people's eyes. Beside him stood Sulit's mother, sister and two brothers who made his father proud.

"Don't think that just because you have fought two battles with Reggie Victor, you can preach to me! I tell you, you don't have this qualification! You are far behind your brother! In my opinion, you are Dyson.

The shame of the family..."

Two years ago, when his father left Broken Snow City, these were the last words he said to Sulit. These words lingered in Sulit's ears almost every day. He always wanted to prove that he was not a member of the family.

It was a shame, but he didn't expect that his family had fallen to this point.

He rushed to his father's side in two steps, took his father's hand and asked, "What happened? Why are you here?"

The father lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Young master, you have recognized the wrong person."

After saying that, he threw Su Lit away and called his family to collect bedding and clothes.

The mother looked at Su Lit, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back her tears. She hugged her son and whispered: "My child, are you okay? I miss you so much..."

As soon as my mother cried twice, her father grabbed her hair from behind.

"Follow me quickly! I've disgraced you!"

The mother was dragged away by the father, and the two brothers remained silent. The sister glanced at Su Lite and left with a blushing face.

Su Lit stepped forward and grabbed his father's clothes: "Tell me what happened? If you don't want to tell it here, I will take you home immediately."

The father roughly shook off Su Lit's hand: "I don't think you heard me just now. Young master, let me say it again, you have the wrong person!"

Seeing his family members walking into the crowd, Sulit stood at a loss in the cold wind. Tyer suddenly blocked his father's way and curled his lips and said, "Old guy, who were you talking to just now?"

Sulit's father looked up at Tyer, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Tyer shouted: "He is the battalion commander of the First Army. You should call him sir, and apologize to the battalion commander immediately!"

Tyr knew that Sulit was in a difficult situation at home. Who knew that this proud father had become a slave, while his most incompetent son was still a noble of Shattering Snow City.

"Didn't you hear what I said?" Tyer wanted to help Su Lite breathe a sigh of relief, "Apologise to the battalion commander."

The stubborn father still refused to say anything, and the angry Tyne gritted his teeth and said: "Old man, do you want to be whipped?"

Su Lit stepped forward to stop Tyer and whispered: "Good brother, this is my family matter, please don't interfere."



That afternoon, Su Lit found Reggie, who wanted to fight for freedom for his family.

"I don't understand what you mean by freedom," Reggie frowned. "If your father wants to leave Shattering Snow City, I can let him leave at any time."

Su Lit shook his head and said: "Sir, my family has nowhere to go. I just hope you can let them live with me. I am willing to bear all your losses and I am willing to pay more than double the price to redeem their lives.

"

"Redemption?" Reggie smiled and then sighed, "Captain Cavalry, you have been with me for so long, why haven't you figured out the rules of Broken Snow City yet? There are no slaves in Broken Snow City, they are new residents.

, new residents must abide by the rules for new residents, no one can be exempted."

"They don't know how to farm at all! My father has never even touched farm tools," Sulit knelt down and said, "Sir, I beg you, beg you to forgive their sins. It is their fault to betray the lord. This fault

Please allow me to bear it with them."

"I'm not holding anyone accountable. This is the law of Suixue. New residents cannot enjoy the same treatment as old residents. They must bear a higher tax burden. I think you should be very clear about this."

"I know it very well and I agree very much, but I still ask you to forgive my family."

Su Lite could not afford to kneel down. In order to protect his family, he gave up his reason and dignity. He was one of the oldest and most loyal officers in the First Army, and it seemed that Reggie was going to make an exception for him.

Reggie picked up the parchment and was about to sign an order for Sulit's family, allowing them to obtain citizenship in advance.

But Nipoli stopped Reggie: "Sir, there are many new residents from Lane Country, and there may be more in the future, not only slaves, but also refugees. I don't know how many people will ask you for mercy. If you open this

I'm afraid that the Shattered Snow Law will become a piece of waste paper."

"Damn profiteer!" Su Lite cursed in a low voice, "Who do you think you are!"

"Don't bear grudges against me, Mr. Battalion Commander," Nipoli heard Sulit's curse. "I am also considered one of the new residents. During the one-year trial period (the provisions of Shaoxue Law: New residents arrive

The first year in Broken Snow City is the trial period), I must pay 30% of my income as an offering to the lord, and no one can be exempted."

"What do you want to do?" Su Lit gritted his teeth and said, "I told you, my family doesn't know how to farm!"

"Then let them learn," Nipoli said with a cold expression. "If just saying they don't understand can be used as an excuse, I'm afraid these new residents will be able to live a life of getting something for nothing. If they really can't learn, let your family do it."

We work with the cavalry battalion of the First Army and let them do some chores. I think they should be able to do this kind of thing."

"Cavalry battalion?" Su Lite said in surprise, "You want them to do handyman work for me?"

Nipoli smiled and said: "Mr. Battalion Commander, I think this is the greatest respect for you. You can give your family enough care. I don't think the lord will interfere with matters that are within your responsibilities."

Reggie smiled: "I think that's a good idea."

"Sir, thank you very much for your help!" Sulit left the lord's castle happily.

Reggie turned to Nipoli and said, "Old man, tell me, why did you buy so many Lane people?"

"I've already said the reason..."

"I want to hear your most real reason. In addition to the same culture and being easy to tame, there must be other reasons."

"I am a frank person, and I want revenge," Nipoli said with a smile. "It is the greatest humiliation for Charlemagne to make the Lane people slaves of Shattered Snow City!"

"There are no slaves in Shattered Snow City."

Nipoli smiled again: "The Lane people have always been slaves. If they can learn how to be real people in Shattered Snow City, it will be a greater humiliation to Charlemagne and the Lane royal family."
