"Hold it." At this time, an older Chu man came over.He was naked and his back was full of scars.These scars were made by the Chu noble thugs with whips.

"How can you bear it?" the famous craftsman from Chu State said angrily.

"Be quiet. Don't let those dogs pay attention to us." The old man whispered.

"If you want to leave here, just restrain yourself a little bit," said the old man.The person who was hanged was a serf who was captured because he escaped.Because the noble farm has expanded a lot, the work on the farm will be much busier.The nobles simply dismissed those serfs. They were unwilling to increase the number of serfs. In their view, these slaves also needed to consume a lot of food, so the nobles sent more thugs to beat these serfs.Serfs are constantly busy every day.But the scale of the farm has grown enormously.And the scale continues to expand.The work of the slaves was getting harder and harder.Many slaves, serfs were overwhelmed and ran away one after another.

They heard from outside that Chu people have colonies overseas. As long as they find a way to escape to the sea and reach the colonies, they will be free. Not only that, they also have a piece of land of their own, because there are no people on the land there.The land that is reclaimed is your own.

With freedom and the temptation of land, many serfs and slaves fled one after another.As more and more people escaped.The nobles took control of the serfs. As long as the serfs and slaves were captured, many of them would die. They would be beaten to death, or seriously injured, and then hanged.Die slowly from thirst, or die from other tortures.And everyone else must gather to watch that person slowly being tortured to death.The noble thugs hoped to use such terrifying methods to scare these serfs and slaves onto the farm.

However, freedom, the temptation of land is too great.As the news of the colony spread in Chu, more and more slaves and serfs hoped to get out of the control of the nobles. They hoped to have their own piece of freedom in that promising land.

"Go, we must go, go overseas, where we have our own world, not those dogs whipping us." The old man straightened up and said.

"Damn it, work quickly, I will beat you to death." A thug with a musket on his back shouted loudly, waving a whip.

"Yes, yes. I'll do it now." The old man quickly lowered his waist and began to work.

Some signs of collapse have gradually appeared on the noble farm.These serfs were the bases maintained by noble farms.Attraction from the outside.Coupled with the brutality of the nobles themselves, the desire to escape serfs and slaves was aggravated. They yearned for freedom and various personal rights.Instead of being tortured here.

Not just on the farm.In the mines of Chu State, the situation is still the same, such miners are also trying to escape the control of the nobles, only in this way can they regain their freedom.The economic backbone of the nobility was seriously threatened.

And in the land of Bashu in Qin State, Qin State is constructing their transportation network vigorously, crossing the Qinling Mountains, leading directly to Bashu, and the Hanzhong Railway is under construction.Unlike Chu, Qin used a large number of slaves, usually from prisoners of war or obtained through trade.It is difficult to use large machinery due to the construction area.Even if it is used, it is difficult to complete it in a short time.The use of slaves has become the best option, and the cost of using slaves is low, and there are few factors to consider.

"How long do you estimate it will take to finish?" a worker asked.

"If we can spread the construction across the board, the time may be faster." An engineer said standing on a high ground with drawings.

"En. If we do this, we will need more people to manage those slaves. This is not easy to manage." Gong Cheng said worriedly.

"But if the construction period is delayed, you and I will lose our heads. The Qinling Mountains are insurmountable, and the project is huge. Gathering so many slaves in one place, the construction site is narrow, and it is difficult to implement them all. Now only by separating these slaves can we let us The progress of the project was completed ahead of schedule," said the engineer.

"It's just, this management." Gong Cheng said worriedly.

"What's there to worry about?" the engineer asked worriedly.

"If these slaves run away, our problem will be even bigger." Gong Cheng said.

"Isn't it enough to increase the number of guards?" the engineer said at this time.

"That's so easy," said the engineer.

"Now the entire Qin State can send very few people. There are not many garrisons in the Qinling area. We have only a few guards. If we separate them, I'm afraid." Gong Cheng said in a dilemma.

"It shouldn't be. Most of these slaves are from the Western Regions, and there are also some Qiang and Huns." The engineer said.

"It's these Qiang people, the Huns are hard to deal with, those people from the Western Regions can say that these Qiang people, the Huns are very wild. If we disperse at this time, it will be difficult to control those people once they run away." Gong Cheng Said.

"But the progress of this project is dead. The railway will not be repaired for a long time. Our lives will not be guaranteed. According to the current progress, it will take another ten years to repair. Ten years. The deadline given to us is not so long. " said the engineer worriedly.The laws of Qin State are harsh.Once the deadline is delayed.The two most directly responsible persons will be sentenced to death.

"I'll go to someone to discuss it. This matter is too big." The Gongcheng said at this time, because he was also worried about his life.

Huangshi Town in the Western Regions of Qin State.King Qin and his party have already taken the train to the supply center behind a frontier in the northern border area of ​​Qin State's Western Regions.This is also the place where the train can finally arrive. If you go further, you can only rely on a carriage and walk forward.

This preface is the same as other prefaces in several prefectures in the Western Regions of the Qin State. It is very busy, with people everywhere, captured Western Regions people, and various supplies are piled up everywhere.

"Come and see. The beauty of the Western Regions. The starting price is ten rifles." A slender man shouted loudly.

"We have to see what this guy looks like?" A man who looked like a mercenary shouted loudly with his quick-shot gun on his back.

"Yeah, we have to see how these guys look." Some other mercenaries shouted loudly at this time.From time to time, they drink something from the skins in their hands. Judging from the way they drink, it may be wine, because water cannot be drunk a little bit.And they are all rough people.

"What are you talking about. You don't want to buy it." The slender man shouted loudly.

"Buy, isn't it just a few broken flintlock guns, we can afford it, can't we. Brothers." A mercenary who took the lead shouted loudly at this time.

"Yes." The mercenaries shouted loudly.

"It depends on how you look. If you look good, I will marry her as my wife." The mercenary who took the lead shouted loudly at this time.

"Hahahahaha." The people around laughed when they heard such shouts.An old man swayed when he heard such words.

"Okay. The legs of these guys are quite long. Everyone loves them." As he said that, the slender man pushed a woman from the Western Regions. The woman from the Western Regions was wearing a unique Western Region dress, and her hair was well trimmed. Tall, beautifully decorated, women from the Western Regions have big eyes.Tall, well-proportioned and slender.The people present swallowed a mouthful of saliva when they saw such a woman.

King Qin in the distance took a sip of water at this time.Then he asked Xiaoer beside him.

"These flintlock guns are already obsolete. Why are there still here? Isn't the Western Region a place where wars are intense? Are there not enough weapons?" King Qin asked.Meng Tian at the side withdrew his eyes and looked at Xiao Er.

"Oh. Yes." Xiao Er withdrew his eyes.

"Oh. You said flintlock guns." Xiao Er relied on his own ears and eyes to remember what King Qin said just now.He seemed to know the flintlock.

"You're talking about flintlock guns." Xiao Er said with a smile.

"This is the Western Region. The war is very tense. There are wars every day. Of course, this flintlock gun is not used by these people who fight. It is mainly for sale. And this gun. It is very expensive, and it can definitely be sold for a good price. Now mercenaries They are doing business here, and there are fewer and fewer people shooting," Xiaoer said.

"Oh." Qin Wang looked at Xiao Er in confusion, he still didn't understand the reason for this.Xiao Er saw King Qin's expression.He said with great interest.

"Be objective, have you seen those women from the Western Regions?" At this time, Xiao Er pointed to the women from the Western Regions on the stage with his finger and said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"These women from the Western Regions are nothing here. A hundred flintlock guns can be exchanged for a stunning Western Region woman. This Western Region woman is tall and tall, with big eyes, and some are blue eyes. She has blond hair and a figure, no matter what." Said. In our Central Plains, we have seen such a woman, this is definitely a rare woman. The mercenaries here, with them, the greatest joy is to play with these Western Regions women. These Western Regions women are very energetic." Xiaoer said seductively .

"Cough cough." Meng Tian coughed from the side, Xiaoer didn't see Meng Tian's cough at all.

"One hundred flintlock guns are only worth a few dollars in our country. That's a few dozen and a half taels. One hundred pieces is not much money. But it's different when it's shipped to the Western Regions." Xiao Er said.

"I heard that those mercenaries sold these muskets to those people from the Western Regions in private. Those people from the Western Regions were terrified of being beaten by our gadgets. I heard that things that can make a loud noise and kill people cost a lot of money. It’s a big price to buy.” Xiao Er said.

"I heard that for a rifle, they come up with this number." Xiao Er stretched out his five fingers at this moment and said.

"How much?" Qin Wang then asked.

"Fifty gold, a musket. No bullets." Xiao Er said in a low voice.

"What?" Hearing such a price, King Qin and Meng Tian were both surprised.Fifty gold and two hundred muskets came out.Also send a lot of bullets.And the mercenary actually sold such a low price for a flintlock musket with little power.

"The kings of the Western Regions, the nobles, etc., spent a lot of money to get these muskets." Xiao Er continued.

"I saw the beauties on the stage. I heard that such women from the Western Regions, ten women, exchange one musket, and one woman comes here to exchange so many muskets. This business is very profitable." Xiao Er said.

King Qin and Meng Tian were completely speechless.It was the first time Qin Wang and Meng Tian heard such a thing.At this time, the asking price of the mercenaries had reached fifty rifles.The person who made the deal was holding a musket on the side.The muskets brought by trains from Qin State were all flintlock guns.Bullets count separately.
