Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

Being promoted to a noble was something worth celebrating, and as a person recommended by Pasha, Deimos naturally became a member of his faction.

Parsa held a banquet for Deimos and also invited some nobles of his own faction to attend.

Although Pasa's banquet was not as luxurious as that of Raph, the Lord of Xi'an City last night, it was extremely luxurious.

When the banquet was over, all the nobles who participated in the banquet stayed.

Obviously, celebrating Deimos was just a pretense. Pasa summoned everyone because he had important matters to discuss.

Looking around at the white-robed nobles present, Pasha said:

"After last night's banquet, the city lord summoned me and several other superior nobles to talk about something."

"The envoy from the Kuxia Empire came to Xi'an a few days ago and discussed a big deal with the city lord."

Chapter 54 Omens

The Kusha Empire is Xi'an City's main trading target, and the main content of the trade is naturally slaves.

The Kuxia Empire also specially sent envoys to Xi'an. This business must be big enough.

The nobles present were all slave owners with a group of slaves under their control, and they all looked forward to getting a share of this business.

Pasha held out two fingers.

"Two thousand slaves, this is the number required by the Kusha Empire. The trade will begin in batches at the beginning of next spring and the delivery will be completed before next winter."

"The Kusha Empire is willing to pay ten silver coins for each slave."

Two thousand slaves is indeed a lot, but Xi'an can still afford this business.The price of twenty silver coins is not high, but it is still quite satisfactory.The key still depends on what type of slave Kusha wants.

They were probably slaves serving as coolies, maybe because the Kusha Empire discovered some minerals, or maybe they were building some kind of project, so they needed such a number of slaves.

All the nobles present were thinking this, and at the same time, they were mentally calculating the quantity they could ship.

"What Kusha wants is not a coolie slave, but a female slave."

Pasa seemed to have guessed what everyone present was thinking and spoke.

"There is no requirement for appearance or figure, and no skills are required. As long as they are between fourteen and thirty years old, in good health, and capable of giving birth, they want female slaves."

Pasa's words stunned many noble slave owners present.

The main use of slaves is still in various types of hard labor.Male believer slaves have a physical advantage over female believer slaves.The role of female messengers is usually to engage in some kind of handicraft or service industry.

The number of female believer slaves in Xi'an City is much smaller than that of male believer slaves.Moreover, after the slaves reproduced, the slave owners would also choose to kill some female infants.

"Why does Kusha want so many female slaves?" a nobleman present asked.

"Who knows?"

Pasha smiled and said:

"No matter what Kusha wants to do with so many female slaves, it has nothing to do with us."

"We just need to fulfill Kusha's needs and hear the sound of coins falling into bags."

"But it's not easy to come up with two thousand healthy female slaves of the right age."

Raph, the city lord of Xi'an, is the largest slave owner in Xi'an. This business cannot be taken by the city owner alone, but there is no problem in assigning orders to the slave owners below.

"The city lord gave me a share of three hundred. I can eat a share of one hundred, and the remaining two hundred shares will be divided by you. No problem..."

"Then thank you, Lord Pasa..."

The nobles present claimed their shares one after another, and soon the two hundred shares were divided up.

Bai Mang remained silent, just watching this bloody and dark business with cold eyes.

After finishing this matter, Pasha smiled, raised the silver cup in his hand, and drank the scarlet wine in one gulp.

He wiped the scarlet at the corner of his mouth with the back of his right hand, which was covered with gemstone rings, and then looked at Bai Mang.

The reason for the banquet was apparently to celebrate Deimos, and Bai Mang was actually half the protagonist in the hall.

"Timothy, don't you want to participate in this business? If you want, I can give you a portion of my share."

Baimai only gave him a big gift yesterday, so Pasa naturally wouldn't forget it so quickly.He said to him with the idea of ​​​​promoting Bai Mang.

Bai Mang shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, let it go."

"You also know that most of my slaves are young and strong male slaves. As for the female slaves, they have mastered manual skills. The price of twenty silver coins is not much profit."

"So, I will not compete with you adults for this business."

"That's true."

Pasa's eyes became more and more pleasing to the eye when he looked at the faces. People who know how to advance and retreat can always be admired.

"Come on, let's continue..."

After filling up the wine, Pasa raised the wine glass in his hand again.

The banquet lasted until late at night.

Bai Mang, smelling of alcohol, was helped into the carriage by his servants.When the carriage started moving slowly, Bai Mang, who was sitting alone in the carriage, sat up and no longer looked as drunk as before.

Bai Mang closed her eyes.

He has spawned many personality clones, lurking in various places in Xi'an City, collecting all kinds of intelligence.

The information collected by many personalities is gathered in memory and can be accessed at any time.

Xi'an's political, economic, cultural and even military intelligence, as well as information on many key figures.

In the characters' information, he saw the parts belonging to Gnis and Ymir.

Bai Maang believed that those two people were very special among the slaves, and they could use those two people as the fulcrum to open up a hole in the slave group.

The fighting curly-haired slave Gurness belonged to a large slave owner.This big slave owner belongs to a superior noble faction that is close to the city lord Raffer, and runs an arena in Xi'an City.And Gurnis was one of the top-ranked fighter slaves under this slave owner.

This information was obtained from the perspective of a slave by the personification of Baimen.

This Gurness seems to be quite famous among the group of fighting slaves.

As for Ymir, he is a slave belonging to the city lord's mansion.Before entering the city lord's palace, he was the slave of a freedman who was a doctor by profession.Because of this relationship, I also learned some medical skills.He is quite famous among the slaves of the city lord's mansion.

It seems that no one else knows about the relationship between Ymir and Gnis.

Bai Mang paid close attention to the reactions of the two people after the conversation last night.

Gurness seemed a little restless and worried, but it did not arouse the suspicion of those around him.

As for Ymir, everything was as usual, as if nothing happened last night.

This kind of character alone can make Bai Mang take a high look at him.

One person with hundreds of faces is a powerful espionage agency, and now this agency has taken root in Xi'an City without any aboriginals noticing.

But it’s only within Xi’an City.

I want to expand the scope of intelligence outwards, such as the two cities of Blackstone and Bloodstone, and the City of Healing further west.Even further away, the continent that is the center of the aboriginal civilization in this world... If you want to do this, you cannot avoid the support of the forces behind you.

As long as Rome and humanity get out of that forest, the spread of intelligence is inevitable, and Bai Mian is not in a hurry.

However, when observing the world with Xi'an as the center, Bai Mang always has a feeling.

It was completely opposite to the feeling of bathing in the light of human reason, like an instinctive foreshadowing.

The world is dark and ominous.

Chapter 55 December

Bai Mang is a moon-shaped person who has stepped out of the fog and locks.

Using it as a window, information about the outside world is being continuously transmitted to Fengjian's hands. Regarding the outside world, the image of the slave city-state named Xi'an has also been established in Fengjian's mind.

In the study room of the Lord's Mansion, a flame was lit in the fireplace, making the room extremely warm.

Kazama put the intelligence documents sent by Baimao Xin on the bookshelf, then came to the window and looked out through the glass window.

It's the end of December, and in a few days it will be the New Year's Day celebrations.And because of the upcoming celebration, even in the cold winter, the town is still bustling with activity.

Four months have passed since it was upgraded to a medium-sized town. Within four months, the new population of 2000 people has been completely integrated into the life of the territory.

Also within these four months, a new round of urban expansion also came to an end.

The upgraded buildings have all been upgraded.

The Lord's Mansion where Kazama lives has been expanded and upgraded again. As far as Kazama's personal living experience is concerned, although it is not as convenient as a modern house in some aspects, it can already meet the standards of modern people in terms of comfort.

The houses where the residents live have also been renovated.

There were roughly three types of buildings in ancient Rome: villas, mansions, and apartments.

The villa is a large residence built in the countryside, combined with the characteristics of an Italian terrace garden, with luxurious interior decoration and outdoor gardens.

The mansion inherited the basic layout of Greek courtyard houses and developed a more rigorous and rich in-depth layout.A mansion usually has a bright hall as the core, surrounded by multiple rooms and courtyards.

Kazama didn't know much about architectural styles, but the architecture of the Lord's Mansion should be considered a combination of a villa and a mansion.Now it can accommodate dozens of people staying at the same time.

As for the apartment, it was the most common building type in ancient Roman cities. It was a multi-story collective building.

This is also the main type of renovation of the residences of the local residents.

The original house was a simple single building made of wood and stone. The living conditions were quite poor. With the expansion and upgrading of the town, it would be eliminated sooner or later.

Named after Rome, although the territory is currently only a medium-sized town, it will be upgraded to a city sooner or later.Urban planning issues are also considered by Fengjian.

Fortunately, the territory's productivity in construction has now been improved.

Thanks to the magic props created by Tohohenheim, another mine was discovered not far from the town.It’s just that the type of mineral deposit is non-metallic clay minerals, which are so-called kaolin minerals.

Clay is the main material for the production of ceramics, and there is another branch of ceramic technology - fired bricks.

The so-called "Qin bricks and Han tiles" actually mean that the ancients mastered the brick-burning technique very early and used it skillfully in daily life.

After Hohenheim's improvements, the masonry produced in the territory can be used as a very reliable building material.

Stone, wood and bricks are now the main materials used in territorial construction.It is a pity that suitable limestone minerals have not yet been discovered, otherwise cement could also be manufactured.

After discovering kaolin, Kazama immediately established several brick-burning kilns, producing day and night, and the output barely kept up with the construction of the town.

In addition to the upgrade of existing buildings, some new buildings were also built, such as public baths.

The bathhouse is an important symbol of ancient Roman civilization. It was not only a place for bathing, but also a social occasion.

The most famous bathhouse in the original Roman city was the Baths of Caracalla, located in the center of the city. It was large in scale and could accommodate 1600 people at the same time.

The newly built bathhouse in the territory is naturally not as exaggerated as the Caracalla Bathhouse, and can only accommodate 50 people at most.

In addition to the bathhouses, Kazama also built markets, schools and roads.

The current territory can be regarded as getting rid of the public production model and establishing feudal private ownership.

The previous public production system was only applicable when the population was small. When the population increases, it is natural to consider changing the system.

Things like the system need to be changed in line with productivity. The ideal Datong society is absolutely unattainable with the current productivity.

In comparison, the private ownership feudal system that can support it is already very advanced based on the current situation.

Although the market has been established, it is still quite rudimentary. After all, the productivity is still not enough at this stage, and the market is not big enough.

But once it comes into contact with the indigenous civilization of the outside world, the market will naturally upgrade.

As for schools, they were established purely to improve the quality of the population.

Most of Kazama's subjects are ordinary people of the United Roman Empire, and they are mainly farmers.

To build an official residence in Kazama, it is necessary to recruit officials to assist in the operation of the town.As an official, being able to read documents is the most basic condition.Even if it is for the sake of the future, the school must be established.

The teaching content of the school is mainly written. In addition to the Roman language, it even includes the study of the lingua franca of this world.

Then there are the roads.

The main function of roads is transportation and connection. The investment cost is high, but once built, the benefits are sustainable.

There is currently only one town in the territory, Rome, so there is no need to talk about the roads in the town.

There are three main roads built outside the town, two of which connect the minerals outside the town, and one leads to the forest.

After the urban renewal construction was completed, the focus was shifted to the development of the southern forest.

Now if you walk out of the town and go to the forest, you will see a spectacular scene. Hundreds of stone golems are cutting down trees and plowing roads.
