On the Seven Towers

Chen Hansheng and Kalanda came out of a villager's house. Chen Hansheng said, "They basically match. They built a house here before the New Year and shipped the goods here after the New Year. Then they hurriedly evacuated after getting my news last night."

"I didn't expect these people to be so cautious and run away overnight."

"Are they waiting to be caught by me?" Chen Hansheng snorted coldly, "Is this what you call cautious? Humph, if they were really cautious, they wouldn't ship goods in a place like Suero. These bastards are short-sighted, so they would do such a thing."

"Have you guessed who it is?"

Chen Hansheng pondered for a while and said, "No, it's hard to say about things in this world. Sometimes those who make a lot of noise may not be really unreliable, and those who keep silent may not be secretly doing bad things. We still have to continue investigating before we can draw a conclusion."

"Why don't we go find that Cohen? Since you suspect that they are using slaves, we should naturally start with the slave traders." Kalanda suggested.

"Smart, you are worthy of being my Chen Hansheng's woman."

————————————

Since Xiao Chen helped Cohen to become a slave trader in the slave market, he has been the main provider of labor for the school.

Chen Hansheng's caravans have been dealing with him a lot when they travel. Basically, every time the caravan leaves, it will take away a batch of slaves prepared by Cohen.

Even if the school needs a large number of slaves, it is unwilling to label itself as a slave trader. So agents like Cohen are still very necessary.

Cohen's camp was bought and renovated from an old house. The house where he imprisoned slaves is completely different from that of other slave traders.

The slaves live in a "U"-shaped tube building with a playground in the middle. The houses in Fenggehewan New District are very similar. The slaves are arranged in dormitories in groups of eight. Slaves with special skills can often be assigned to more comfortable four-person rooms. There are clinics, schools, canteens, workshops, and even activity rooms and libraries in the camp. Although the slaves have no freedom and cannot go out, such an environment, food and education are no exaggeration compared to other slave camps in Suero.

When the slaves arrive here, they will first undergo sanitation and cleaning, and then learn to adapt to collective life and learn various behavioral rules. They also have to learn to speak Chinese and recognize Chinese characters.

Most slaves have a good learning progress. It is much better than the residents directly employed by the school. Because in the slave camp, those who fail to meet the teaching standards will be eliminated and sold to other camps.

When most slaves come here, they have been through many twists and turns, and have been in more than one slave camp. Most of them know what it means to be sent to other camps.

Their first feeling when they come here is often unbelievable, and then they have to do their best to stay. Studying, working and living here are even better than the days before most people became slaves. So these people cherish the life here.

Therefore, schools now let slaves receive preliminary education in the camp and can communicate in Chinese before sending them to Montenegro. The educational effect and learning cost here are much better than in the school placement camp.

Every time Chen Hansheng walks here, he doesn't feel like he's walking in a slave camp, but in a boarding school. But the fact is that the management method here is actually an enhanced version of the school, which is far from the rules for managing slaves by ordinary people.

The first person he is going to visit today is not Cohen, but the person in charge of the Chinese course here, Ding Lunquan from the foreign affairs group. This tall boy has been working here for two months since the establishment of this camp.

"Uncle Chen. According to my observation, everything in the camp here is normal. There are no slaves disappearing or abnormal movement." Ding Lunquan answered Chen Hansheng's question seriously.

"What about the people who were eliminated and sent to other camps? There aren't many of them either?"

Ding Lunquan smiled, "The people here are much more hardworking than the children I taught as a tutor. They are working hard to learn. They are not only serious in class, but also form study groups at night. They always ask me to give them special lessons. If they were in our world, they would study like this since childhood, and I think half of them would be able to get into our school. I have only met three people who were driven away. One was for making enemies and hurting people, one wanted to bully women, and the other was mentally ill and crazy. It is impossible for there to be a large number of slaves to leave as you said."

Chen Hansheng patted his shoulder and said, "It's not easy for you either."

"Don't say it, Uncle Chen. I I feel good here. How should I put it? It is really fulfilling to help so many people learn knowledge and understand that there are things in the world that they can pursue. To put it in a more literary way, I opened a window to their world and let the sunshine into their hearts. This feeling is hard to experience in other places. You don’t know that many of them are actually very smart and beautiful. If they were in our place, they might be academic masters or school beauties. But here, society didn’t give them opportunities. But now I can give them such opportunities. "

"The feelings are very sincere." Chen Hansheng punched him and said, "But if you ask me, looking at school beauties is the main thing, right?"

The two men laughed.

"Okay, cultivate your flowers here. I came to ask you, and then I will have a clear idea when I go to Cohen. "

Compared to the luxurious style of the original Oaks family, the house where Cohen lived was simple, just a small two-story house. Chen Hansheng and Karanda met Cohen in the living room with only a set of sofas and a coffee table.

The only decoration in the room was a vase filled with small white flowers. Cohen, a thin middle-aged man, gave people a feeling of pity and solemnity against the background of white flowers.

"Master Chen, I know my position very well. It was Master Xiao who pushed me here. Without the support of Black Mountain, I would not be able to survive in this slave camp for a moment. Although I am a slave trader to the outside world, I dare not treat anyone who comes to the camp with the attitude of a slave. I know that you all hate the slave system itself, so I can only do my job carefully, take good care of everyone, and prepare them before they embark on a new journey. According to Ding Lunquan, I am an operating station manager. How dare I do the business of selling slaves secretly?"

Cohen looked very calm, and he continued: "Don't you think that if there is a real need for slaves, it would be troublesome to get it from me? If anyone wants to secretly buy slaves, any other camp here is more suitable than me, isn't it?"

Chen Hansheng nodded and said: "That's true. However, there are very few means I know about other slave traders."

"If Master Chen trusts me. Let me get the news for you. Although... I am not very sociable here, I still have some channels of my own."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."
