Who asked him to engage in military industry in the world of high martial arts?

Chapter 18 Water Roots
  The guard came over and put the rope tied around Shui Gen's neck into Chen Yongying's hand.

"This man is very honest."

"Probably won't resist."

"If he runs away, then you should report it to the authorities as soon as possible. Although the authorities will not take the initiative to help you find him, as long as he appears in any place where the resident certificate needs to be checked, he will be caught and checked for identity. He has his own ID on him. Slave number, you can get it back by paying some foster care fee when the time comes."

Sure enough, Chen Yongying looked carefully and saw a row of marks on Shui Gen's black back.

That is the brand that belongs to the slave, which is a series of six digits.

"Okay, now he belongs to you, you can do whatever you want with him." The guard said with a smile.

Chen Yongying pulled the rope and couldn't believe it for a moment.

Just like that, you have a slave?
  Is it too casual?
  "By the way, take this leaflet. If you, the slave, can't use it for the time being, you can rent it out." The guard handed over a leaflet.

The content of the flyer is: "Are you still worried that your slaves have no work to do and have to eat at home? Are you still worried that your slaves will run away? Are you still worried that your slaves are dishonest? Please send it to the coal mine in the north of the city. The highest annual income for a single slave 2000 yuan!”

Chen Yongying took a look and understood instantly.

This is to take the slaves you bought out to work.

The annual income is 10%, which is much higher than the return rate on A-share investment. At least you will not lose money.

"Don't worry, if you rent it to the mine, you will be paid monthly, and if you die, you will be compensated." The guard said with a smile.

Chen Yongying, on the other hand, felt a chill in his back.

When he was looking at the world view in a book before, he thought slave was a very distant word.

And when he easily owned a slave, Chen Yongying only felt that the cloak of civilization put on by this era was even more advanced than the dynasties in previous lives...

brutal.

"Old Chen, are you out?" Yang Heng came over and asked.

Chen Yongying nodded: "Yes."

"Why don't you choose the strongest one? He has an average figure." Yang Heng smacked his lips and patted Shui Gen's face casually. "My family has bought slaves before, but my father was ill at the time, so he sold them and still owed a lot of debt."

Shui Gen, who looked to be in his mid-twenties, was slapped on the face. He lowered his head for a moment and did not dare to look up.

His eyes were full of meekness.

Even though he was humiliated by a boy so much younger than him, he still remained docile.

Chen Yongying shook Yang Heng's hand away: "Don't do this."

"Let's go buy him a set of clothes first."

Yang Heng was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Buying clothes for slaves?"

"A slave can't go out on the streets, so how can we buy him clothes?"

"Moreover, the slave number on the back must be exposed, otherwise you will break the law and will be fined, and the slave will be taken away. The identity of the slave cannot be concealed."

Chen Yongying fell silent.

No wonder, when we were in Jiangcheng, we basically didn't see slaves.

The two of them usually walked on the main roads paved with bricks and tiles, while the slaves could only walk on the paths that were still made of dirt.

Shuigen just listened to the two people talking without any reaction at all.

He just lowered his head and remained silent.

"Shui Gen, how old are you now?" Chen Yongying asked.

"I just turned 18, Master." Shui Gen replied honestly.

Chen Yongying was instantly shocked.

He thought he had chosen a man around 30 years old, but it turned out that Shuigen was only eighteen?

"I have been working since I was three years old. I am exposed to wind and sun, so I naturally age quickly." Seeing Chen Yongying's surprise, Shui Gen quickly added.

"Yeah." Chen Yongying nodded.

"Okay, let's go back first."

Soon, the three of them returned home through the path.

After Chen Yongying came back, he went out: "I'm going out."

He came back with a simple but clean set of clothes and bought more corn.

"Why buy so much rice?" Yang Heng was also puzzled. He was banging the firecrackers at this time.

"If there is one more person, naturally we need to eat more." Chen Yongying said.

Yang Heng showed a very surprised expression: "Huh? The slave can just buy pig food for his food. Is it necessary to eat corn? Or just give him the leftovers."

Shui Gen was chopping firewood at this time and remained silent.

He has already experienced all this.

He didn't feel anything was wrong. He was born a slave and has always lived this way.

"Just put on the clothes and reveal the number on the back." Chen Yongying said.

This is easy to do, just use scissors to cut the clothes open to reveal a slit.

Shui Gen shook his head in horror: "Master... no, it's not necessary..."

Yang Heng also looked confused: "Did you really buy him clothes? This set costs more than a hundred, right?"

Chen Yongying didn't say much, but left two words: "Put it on."

In the end, Shuigen put on the clothes Chen Yongying bought for him. They were very simple, but still much better than when he was naked just now. However, the back was still cut open and his name was exposed. Shuigen's eyes flickered a little.

Then...

He actually started sobbing.

"Woooooooo..."

Of course, Chen Yongying didn't care about him sobbing.

For dinner in the evening, it was corn rice cooked by Yang Heng.

Chen Yongying filled a large bowl for Shui Gen and placed it in front of him.

Shui Gen was also confused: "Master... I usually eat... I can't eat so much."

"The last owner said that if you eat too much, you will rebel. I don't want to rebel."

Chen Yongying waved his hand: "Eat quickly."

Corn rice is completely unpalatable to Chen Yongying. People who are used to eating refined rice and noodles would find it inedible, but for Shui Gen, who has always eaten pig food, it is undoubtedly delicious.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Soon, Shuigen finished the bowl of corn.

Chen Yongying pointed to the rice bowl: "Go and serve it yourself."

Shuigen was a little hesitant, but finally went to serve it himself.

In his heart, there was a glimmer of hope that he had never experienced before.

This master...

It seems to be much better than imagined.

He thought he would be beaten first when he arrived, so that he could work hard and establish his authority. After all, this would happen every time he arrived in a new place...

Yang Heng was dumbfounded: "Old Chen, you... this is so lonely!"

Finally, Fatty Yang couldn't help it anymore.

Chen Yongying took a deep breath and looked at Yang Heng seriously: "Old Yang."

"Do you recognize me as your elder brother?"

"Are you messing with me?"

Yang Heng was stunned: "Yes, you saved my life, and you also taught me how to make artifacts. From now on, you will be the boss, and I will follow you."

Chen Yongying said seriously: "Then, from now on..."

"In front of us, there is no such thing as a slave!"

"Shuigen is not a slave, he is an officially recognized slave, but as long as he is bought by me, he is no longer a slave."

"He is now our subordinate, can be our soldier, and is our comrade-in-arms."

"But definitely not a slave, you know?"

Chen Yongying stepped forward and picked up the axe.

"Clang!!!" With a sound, he chopped down hard.

Later, the rope that Yang Heng casually tied Shui Gen to the pillar was cut off!
  "Shui Gen, if you want to leave, then leave now." Chen Yongying said seemingly very gently.

His expression was very calm.

What he wants now is not a slave...

But a soldier who can truly sacrifice his life for himself!
  Slaves will also run away when faced with death.

If you want to survive in this era with your own weak combat power, you need to unite all the forces that can be united, and these slaves are obviously a powerful force that can be used.

As for...

run?
  Where to run?

In this era of human beings, even the territory is very dangerous. There are ferocious beasts in the wild, and there are even alien beasts.

Humans can only survive within the borders of the human race, and slaves will be arrested if they go to any residential area.

Shui Gen was startled, looking here and there, then shook his head: "I won't leave."

Shui Gen knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed three times in succession:
  "boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"Master made me know the feeling of fullness for the first time in my life..."

"I'm willing to do anything for my master!"

"Even if the master asks me to kill someone, I will never back down!"

Shui Gen's head was smashed three times, and blood stained it.

As for Chen Yongying, he looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.

"This wins people's hearts..."

“Easier than imagined.”

He said in his mind.
