If I let you farm, will you become the emperor of the empire?
Chapter 56: Quarter of a Copper Coin
An elite army of 50 demon hunters, only 3 of them came back alive.
The sixth-level Dawn Knight with silver armor and golden sword also entered a dying state.
"This happened..."
Roman listened quietly to Agatha telling him everything he knew.
He realized that when he was still repairing dirt roads and building cattle sheds in Sig Town, a small-scale, but extremely fierce and cruel war broke out in the north.
Its cruelty was far beyond everyone's imagination.
An entire army of demon hunters was almost wiped out.
The Nightmare Witch named Shasta was one of the factors.
"You go back." Roman said to Agatha.
She left meekly.
The village woman didn't know what the demon hunter meant.
Roman knew very well that it was one of the strongest armed forces of the church, only the trial knights and the Templars could be compared, and the demon hunters had the most combat experience.
Any demon hunter knight can easily kill Aaron or Green, and even the two of them cannot defeat any demon hunter knight together.
They have conquered everywhere, experienced hundreds of battles, and are famous in the past years.
But now they have fallen into a big trouble in the northern land, and the sixth-level Dawn Knight almost failed to return.
The church is a behemoth, and any action it takes will affect the whole body.
Agatha is just a fish in the pond affected by the church, just because the latter is fishing in the pond.
Roman believes that this is a sign.
This situation will only get worse, and those fish in the pond that are affected will become more and more.
The church will not give up.
Those demon hunters are the precursors of their actions, and they can also be an excuse for them to take action.
The Church will most likely add fuel to the perennially turbulent northern land, and the sky-high flames will illuminate the sky of the entire Winter Kingdom red.
At that time, will the three grand dukes of the Black Iron Kingdom sit on the throne and watch coldly?
Or will he stand up again, forcefully engulf the entire Black Iron Kingdom, command all the nobles of the various countries, and re-launch another "Blood War in the Silent Valley"?
But Roman couldn't imagine the scene of Grand Duke Cracked Armor standing in front of the army.
Will his father still be able to stand up?
Roman just found it funny.
The future is uncertain.
There is no doubt that the struggle has accelerated!
The struggle has begun to accelerate!
The pirates in the north, the plateau barbarians in the east, and the forest barbarians in the west will all revel in this turmoil.
And all the contradictions and wars in this land are about to enter a more intense and more complicated stage.
"An era more chaotic than the chaotic times more than a hundred years ago is coming..."
Green asked: "Roman, what should we do?"
Roman snorted: "Don't worry about their life or death, history will tell everyone who will be the winner."
Green solemnly swore: "I will cut through the thorns for you, become your shield, become your spear, and kill all enemies for you!"
Aaron glanced at Green, speechless about this crazy colleague, and had to say sullenly: "Me too."
Green said solemnly: "So I have to train hard and save it for future killings!"
Aaron had to nod and say: "Me too."
Roman tilted his head and looked at Green. At first, he didn't understand what they were doing, but now he understood.
He said with a faint smile on his face: "The livestock shed is built, but the work is not done yet, Green, don't think about running away."
Green complained: "I have been with you for half a month to build the house, let me go." He really didn't want to do those rough jobs.
Roman immediately frowned: "No! Come with me tomorrow to burn stones!"
"Please forgive me!"
...
It's a joke to ask Green to burn stones.
Roman is going to build an army, and he can't do without professional soldiers.
There are more than 40 active guards in Sige Town, and they come from former guards and newly joined hunters.
Aaron has been training for more than a month, and it has achieved initial results and the ranks are neat.
Green is going to assist Aaron.
Roman is going to expand the number of troops before the end of this summer to facilitate his future robbery of the population.
The arrival of these two hundred slaves barely alleviated some of Roman's demand for labor.
In order to let them recover as soon as possible, Roman provided them with three meals a day, with an average of at least three pounds of various grains, cereals and vegetables per person, and salt was added for free.
The locals of Sige Town were jealous of this treatment.
Roman didn't care about these consumptions. In his opinion, only fools would let slaves starve.
He firmly believed that the resources created by slaves were far greater than the resources he consumed.
But if a slave was lazy and not active in work. That's easy.
Roman would hang him.
One dead, one dead! At worst, they would all be killed!
Such food-wasting insects are not worthy of his rule!
After they rested for three days, Roman also calculated the basic human resources.
There were 103 adult laborers - both adult men and women, 38 children under 15 years old, 17 people over 40 years old, 30 sick and weak people, and 7 children under 5 years old.
The reason why the sick and weak were singled out was that these people had serious physical damage, or physical illness, or had been injured. In short, they could not do heavy physical work and were defective products. If they could be sold for 6 or 8 copper coins, they would be considered profitable.
Roman accepted all of them.
Not all of his work is heavy physical labor. Some light technical work is also in short supply.
For example, carpenters can learn if they don't understand, and die if they don't study hard. Anyway, they must be put to good use.
Even if two sick slaves can only be used as one person, it's a profit.
In order to save resources, Roman found 10 male slaves with relatively healthy physiques, which are equivalent to temporary managers, each responsible for managing 20 slaves.
Roman's requirements are very low, just don't make trouble.
If he finds that these people have damaged his property, he will let these slave managers know what cruelty is.
Correspondingly, he will also improve the treatment of these slave managers.
For example, they can get a reward of 1'quarter copper coin' every month - the copper content of this copper coin is one-fourth of that of a normal copper coin.
1 copper coin is quite insignificant to Roman.
For ordinary households, this is valuable property.
Gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins are the monetary units used by nobles.
Commoners use half copper coins and quarter copper coins, and some backward places even use iron coins.
It's just that iron coins have natural defects, so they are not widely circulated.
A farmer earns a quarter of a copper coin a day, which is enough for his family to eat well.
When they trade in daily life, they usually barter. They don't use currency at all.
There is no other reason, metal currency is too expensive to use.
