my wife is a consul

The original mayor's official residence has been renovated, but Lu Ming still uses the RV in the courtyard of the official residence as a resting place, and does not deliberately go back to the South Territory while sleeping to avoid being attacked at night or other emergencies. There is no backbone here, and in the RV The sanitary conditions feel better and more comfortable than those in the official residence.

The architectural style of the city hall, official residence, and library here is the Baroque style of the [-]th century, mostly using stone. The fronts of these public buildings look more majestic, in sharp contrast to the remains of the simple wooden houses and stone houses in the town. From here A little speculation is that this society may have also been an authoritarian world.

However, most stone buildings are not so severely corroded. Unlike metal objects, they are as fragile as paper under the venom of vicious beasts. Therefore, they are still relatively intact and can be repaired simply.

In the RV, Lu Ming looked at the floor plan and planning document of this Hedong stronghold.

Zhuge, the deputy leader of the special service team, knew this very well and borrowed the tactics from Steel Fortress.

After Lu Ming told him that he could provide any resources in the New World, Zhuge's plan was to first surround the grid with a grid. Whether or not to build high walls within the grid would depend on the situation. At regular intervals within the grid, The finished steel bunker is a characteristic of the New World. It is a cast steel bunker. Dig the ground two meters deep, put the three-meter-high bunker directly inside, and pour cement outside. It is a bit like Lu Ming playing a strategy in his previous life. The kind of standardized fortress of the game.

Lu Ming promised that all raw materials, including the finished bunker, could be provided.

In this way, a total of more than 20 bunkers are needed in the overall rectangular power grid.

If there are four combatants in a bunker, working in groups of two, and they are on duty 24 hours a day, it will require about a hundred combatants.

Lu Ming originally wanted Zhuge to select slaves for training.

There are more than 300 slaves in total, including 33 gladiators, and the rest are 100 slave families, half male and half male. In addition, their minor children, under ten years old, will live with their parents. They are considered as bonus child slaves. There are twenty or thirty When they reach the age of ten, they must obey their master's arrangements.In addition to these slave families, Lu Ming also bought more than 16 unmarried slaves, that is, slaves between the ages of ten and [-], and they were almost equally divided between men and women.

In the past ten years or so in the Southern Territory, slaves have been purchased as a unit of a slave family, or as a pair of unmarried slaves.

Because the offspring of slaves are also the property of slave owners, and now that there are no more wars in the Southern Territory, and there is no longer talk of plundering people as slaves, it is inevitable for the existing slave class to multiply.

Although it is not as possible as before, the female slaves are just for reproduction, and there is no fixed male slave to form a family with them. Instead, the master chooses a strong male slave to make peace with many female slaves, so that the little slaves born in this way will most likely inherit their father's inheritance in the future. Genes are strong and tall.

Nowadays, it is more humane, and slaves are allowed to form families.

Even if this is the case, the idea is similar to that of raising pigs. We must consider the safety of their offspring, including the yield of the offspring and the genes of the offspring.

For the arrangement of these slaves, apart from the initial maintenance of the town and necessary handymen, there is actually nothing to do in the future.

There is no need to pretend to make them produce resources, and there is no cultivated land nearby.

However, when it comes to training them to be warriors, they are even issued with firearms.

Lu Ming hesitated again, because these slaves were passed down from generation to generation and their psychology was very distorted. It was difficult for normal people to understand their thinking patterns.

If they have combat capabilities, or even have powerful guns in their hands, and in such a lawless and disorderly place, will they have some strange thoughts?
Zhuge should also have considered this and carefully expressed his different opinions in the planning book. Naturally, he would not blatantly refute the "Tai Sheng Huang", but carefully asked if he could find a way to recruit capable personnel from the Southern Territory. Otherwise, Just settle for the next best thing and give slaves the flintlock muskets from the Southern Territory?Training them as musketeers would not seem so shocking if they matched the technological level of the remaining humans in this post-apocalyptic continent.

After all, the nine-man special service team can use weapons from the New World, but if there are suddenly more than 100 combatants armed with assault rifles, it may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It's just that the bunker's original standard equipment was a heavy machine gun, which became a flintlock gunner, so the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

However, it would be good for Mr.'s slaves to familiarize themselves with flintlocks first. They will learn to use advanced weapons more quickly in the future. At that time, loyal and talented ones can be selected from among the musketeers and given the ordnance and equipment of the New World.

What's more, Mr.'s slaves have seen flintlock guns at most in the Southern Territory. Learning to use flintlock guns is extremely unbelievable for them. However, as slaves of the master, when they come to dangerous places, the master gives them the ability to fight. Their thinking can also accept it. Most likely it will be a sense of glory?However, if they are directly allowed to use the New World's assault rifles, light and heavy machine guns, etc., it will bring them too much stimulation, and some uncontrollable incidents will easily occur.

In the final analysis, if these slaves must be armed, the best strategy is to first train the slaves as flintlock musketeers, and then slowly select loyal and capable ones and promote them to the backbone of combat who can possess the new continent's weapons.

Looking at Zhuge's long speech in the planning book, Lu Ming shook his head in amusement, but it had to be said that he was actually persuaded by Zhuge.

Um?Lu Ming turned to look at Queen Hera, who was even more beautiful in a white sacrificial dress. Her steps were extremely light, and she didn't even tremble when she got into the RV or vehicle. I really didn't know that her fragrant skin and jade body were really as light as a feather. Well, there is still another mystery.

"Your Majesty, look at this!" Queen Hera, who was wearing various luxurious gold tassel ornaments, had a snow-white stone in her slender hand.

"What is this?" Lu Ming was a little curious. Based on Queen Hera's knowledge, she would not talk to him specifically about things that were not really important. "The house slaves found it from the storage room." Queen Hera's pretty face was extremely solemn, "This is a magic stone that has disappeared in the Empire Continent. It should be called fairy stone in the East. It can help with spiritual practice. Legend has it that there were many in the Empire Continent in ancient times. The magic stone mine has gradually disappeared due to over-exploitation, and the continent of the empire has gradually exhausted its spiritual energy and entered the technological era. Monks are now so rare that they are hard to find. This is also because magic stones could originally be used to help monks practice, but now they are not available."

"Oh, is that useful to you or me?" Lu Ming reached out and took the snow-white stone. He was slightly startled immediately. His hands were cold, as if he had not touched anything solid. The next moment, the coldness seemed to turn into threads. Gradually it fell into the palm of my hand.

The snow-white stone suddenly shattered and turned into a mass of black scum.

Queen Hera didn't need to tell her, she knew it was useful to her.

Moreover, it was as if he was suddenly touched, as if someone who had never known what sweet spring tasted like had tasted it for the first time, and now he was extremely eager to blend in with that cold feeling again, and the larger the better.

"It's strange. According to the rules of the world here, there are no monks, but immortal stones were discovered." Lu Ming then smiled, "Maybe it's because of this that immortal stones are not extinct?"

Queen Hera nodded lightly.

……

At the northern entrance of the town, a watchtower similar to a few straight fir trees as a base has been erected.

The male and female slaves outside were surrounding pieces of black barbed wire.

When Lu Ming came over, a person quickly slid down the slide on the watchtower, it was "Jack the Wheel".

"Boss!" He ran to Lu Ming's side with a flattering smile on his face.

He was assigned as a sentinel, but he actually used it according to his ability. After all, he could find traces of the movement of ferocious beasts from a distance, or find enemies lurking close to him with malicious intentions. For him, an adventurer with a 20-year adventure career, Lu There is no one around Ming who has more experience than him.

Several other male unmarried slave boys in their teens, who seemed to be smarter, were arranged to learn from him.

Jack Spinner did not feel at all that he was being slighted by being assigned to be a sentry or even a position that included being mixed with slaves.

On the contrary, he was overjoyed. After all, this meant that he had become a member of this mysterious organization. At least his life seemed to be saved. Not to mention, it was obvious that following this mysterious organization would make things much brighter than before.

The leader of this mysterious organization, who is now his boss, also promised to bring his companions here soon. If they are willing to obey the order, they can stay. If not, they can wait for Qiqi to complete the construction of the town's defense facilities. When they are eighty-eight, they will be let go.

"There have been no traces of ferocious beasts in the past few days. It seems that these ferocious beasts have their own lairs, so there are very few wandering outside. Even if one lair is destroyed by us, the ferocious beasts in other lairs do not know about them. There's no connection between them, and there's no Beast King?" Jack Wheel was actually relieved now. This was the first time humans had counterattacked and captured the town where the ferocious beasts had their lairs. They were really worried that a wave of ferocious beasts would come soon.

Lu Ming nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work, that's right. Boss, you just have to be careful not to work too hard." Wheeler Jack smiled apologetically.

"Oh, let me ask you something, do you see this white stone often?" Lu Ming took out a photo.

The slaves found a whole box of fairy stones, with ten stones in total. Now there are nine stones left, all with characters engraved on them. This kind of stone is like soft metal, and characters can be written on it, but the characters cannot be read.

Spinner Jack was a little surprised by the photo, but he didn't care too much about the things in the photo, "Oh, it's the Great Breaking Day, which is the currency of this continent before the end of the Beast Tide. It's very common, and it's also bartered now. If the other party does not have the item you want, use this currency to trade, because it also has another use. Use it to soak particularly turbid water, which can slightly remove the odor, and the chance of being poisoned is smaller, so you are also an adventurer. Necessary equipment." He looked at the photo carefully again, "Boss, the coin in your picture has a very large face value, but we won't talk about that now. No matter what face value it is engraved on, we have one stone and one coin. Generally speaking, one The coin can be exchanged for ten pieces of black bread.”

Ten pieces of brown bread?Lu Ming rubbed his nose. However, the smaller its value, the less rare it is in the settlement and it is a good thing.

But ten pieces of black bread, in this world, were not as insignificant as he first thought.

"Well, I get it!" Lu Ming didn't say much, turned around and left.
