Section 173 Opportunities must be seized by oneself
Looking at the slave sitting on the ground in front of him, Ye Kaihuai introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Ye Kaihuai. I am the lord of Fengyang Town, and also your master. I believe you already know me. I originally wanted to talk to you about your future arrangements yesterday, but I didn't expect that except for such a big deal, I could only delay it until today. Before I talk about your disposal, I want to ask you, do you want to be slaves for the rest of your life?"
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first bird. Who knows what punishment will be if they stand up and say it doesn't suit the new master's will? Look at the guards on the sidelines who are unsheathed with swords, you will know that today this adult may be killing the chicken to warn the monkey first. It's better to have less than more things and protect yourself.
Seeing that no one was talking, Ye Kaihuai looked around, but saw all the slaves he saw avoiding his gaze. "Okay, since you don't want to answer my question, I'll change it. Do you hope that your descendants will also be slaves?"
Still didn't stand up and answer. Ye Kaihuai was unhappy. This is not enough. He spoke with words and words. You are all silent like this. Then why should I say it? He pointed to the young man sitting in the front row and said, "You, stand up and talk."
"This... sir..." the young man stood up tremblingly and said, "I, I am willing to be an adult's slave for the rest of his life." After that, he carefully looked at Ye Kaihuai's face, and then looked at the guards beside Ye Kaihuai. Following the young man's eyes, Ye Kaihuai suddenly realized, and I said, why no one dared to speak, and was stared at by a group of people holding knives. Whoever talked would cut off anyone would speak easily.
"Come here!" Ye Kaihuai shouted. The young man was almost scared to sit on the ground. Several people in the slave group shook their heads and sighed. Another tribe member was about to be killed, no matter how he answered. The new master deceived the slaves who had a sense of resistance and killed them. One was to eliminate hidden dangers, and the other was to intimidate other slaves. These slaves who had been resold many times have seen each other twice.
"All guards obey the orders and put away their swords." With the order, not only did the guards think they heard it wrong, but the slaves also thought they heard it wrong.
"I didn't hear it, I want you to put away all the knives." Ye Kaihuai repeated the order dissatisfiedly.
The guards came to their senses and quickly retracted the knife back to the sheath. As the guards put away the knife, the slaves sitting on the ground felt relieved, and finally they did not feel as nervous as they had just now.
"Now, boy, please answer me again. Do you want your descendants to be a slave who can be beaten and bullied? To be honest, your answer will determine your status and your descendants."
The young man blushed, regardless of his companion who reached out to pull his pants behind him, gritted his teeth and replied to Ye Kaihuai: "Lord, I think no one wants to be a slave, so do I." After that, he closed his eyes and waited for Ye Kaihuai's verdict.
It was just strange that he was not taken down by the guards beside him and killed on the spot. He only heard a person in front of him applauding softly. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the new lord was slammed by the new lord. Seeing that he opened his eyes, the lord smiled and said to himself: "It's not bad, it's not completely erased yet. It's great. If you guys are really completely erased from blood, I'll really have a headache. Sit down." Ye Kaihuai asked the young man to sit down, and then asked the other slaves: "Where are you? Do you like him and don't want their descendants to be slaves too?"
Silence is right.
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer. All I need is your attitude. This way, you can stand up without uttering my question just now, and just stay still if you don't want to. Now, answer me..." As soon as the words finished, the young man who had previously stood up. With the lead, several more people stood up one after another.
"Not bad, you guys stand up and sit down in front of me." Ye Kaihuai nodded and said.
After the young man and the few people who stood up later came to Ye Kaihuai to sit in front of him, Ye Kaihuai continued, "Now I will tell you what you care about the most."
When everyone heard Ye Kaihuai's words, they immediately subconsciously breathed lightly, fearing that they would miss a word. "From today, your slave status will be cancelled, but I cannot spend money in vain. I need you to work for me for ten years. In ten years, Fengyang Town will no longer limit your freedom. Of course, within these ten years, the offspring you have born after you get married will be free, and you will enjoy the same rights as all children in Fengyang Town..."
Listening to the conditions mentioned by Ye Kaihuai, all slaves could not believe their ears. They could redeem their freedom as long as they worked for ten years, and their descendants would not be affected by themselves. Is this possible?
With the slaves' suspicious eyes, Ye Kaihuai ordered people to carry out a brazier.
"Who among you knows the words?" Ye Kaihuai asked the slaves in front of him.
"I, I know." A slave raised his hand excitedly.
"Okay, please see if these documents are your contract to sell your body." Ye Kaihuai raised his hand and called the slave to him, and then handed him a large stack of documents.
The slave looked over with excitement and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this is our contract to sell our body."
"That's fine. You are responsible for sending these contracts to your companions, and then asking them to come over to join me one by one with the contracts."
"Yes, sir."
The contract was quickly sent by the slave. All the slaves took the things they dreamed of getting back. Some were panting excitedly, while others were lowering their heads and secretly wiping their tears.
All the slaves obeyed Ye Kaihuai's request and lined up in a long row.
"After you sign this contract, you will no longer be slaves, but also my tenant. The job you have to do is to farm for me. Ten years later, your freedom will no longer be restricted, and you will go wherever you love. However, within these ten years, you cannot leave my territory unless you encounter special circumstances. If you violate the contract, you will become slaves again. I will make these words clear to you in advance. If you all agree, sign the contract or press the handprint. If you don't agree, I will not force you."
The fool disagreed. The slaves, oh, now all the tenants have signed contracts.
"The contract is signed, and you are grouping down, you guys." Ye Kaihuai pointed to the few people in front of him, "You guys answered my questions when I asked, and your courage was commendable. You guys would be the team leader of each production team. Usually you are responsible for managing your subordinates' work. If your subordinates have any questions or requests, you can report to me through you. By the way, you," said Ye Kaihuai pointed to the young man who was the first to answer his own question when he asked, "You serve as their general team leader, and I will give you a token. If there is any problem or someone bullies you, you will come to me directly with this token, and I will make the decision for you. But I would also remind you a few in advance. If you rely on this position to do evil and I know, I will never spare you easily. Do you understand?"
