The influx of new students really made Chang'an Town, which had been calm for a long time, panic for a while.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation have to be re-planned in all aspects.

Shi Yu and Huo Ci once again discovered that the forecast was wrong, and the grain in Chang'an Town's inventory could not support the next harvest!

Especially wheat.

With nearly [-] mouths added, the daily consumption of pasta is huge.

The mill has been running almost 24 hours since school started.

Residents who owned land when they went to the market years ago had already sold the grain stored at home, and it was impossible to sell it again before the next harvest.

The two had to contact the Archbishop of the Temple of Wealth and ask the Temple to help them purchase food.

At the same time, taking advantage of the spring plowing has not yet ended, began to open up wasteland.

At the same time as tens of thousands of students poured in, Shi Yu and Huo Ci also accepted nearly [-] slaves, and the population of Chang'an Town increased by a large amount in an instant.

At the same time, more food needs to be consumed.

And being able to get so many slaves at one time is still the honor of the new students, to be precise, the honor of the noble students.

In the past, the source of slaves in Chang'an Town was mainly the Twelve Temples, among which the Temple of Wealth was the most, and the rest were the surrenders of the lords of various territories around Chang'an Town, because the surroundings were all small lords, and the biggest one was an earl. There were limited slaves in their territories. Not many were sent.

There are also two princes from the Blackstone Principality on the other side of the river. After they received the permission of the Grand Duke Blackstone to build the city, they successively sent slaves by boat to show their sincerity.

All the slaves sent above added up to just over [-].

Still thousands and hundreds of them were sent one after another.

And these aristocratic parents came up to sell [-] yuan, without the slightest reluctance, which can be seen.

"Big family, big family..."

Shi Yu sighed.

It is said that there are at least hundreds of thousands of slaves in a dukedom, and they are jointly sponsored by several dukes, marquises, and earls, and the division is simply a drizzle for them.

Huo Ci: "It seems that this step is the right one."

If they didn't open a college and didn't attract children, how could these nobles be so kind and give them away for free.

Relying on the Holy See alone, it would take a year to send all [-] slaves.

With the influx of [-] slaves, the population of Chang'an Town broke through the [-] mark in an instant.

Fortunately, the slaves sent in batches before have been trained by the subordinates, how to clean them, arrange them, and "brainwash" them with ease.

After Shi Yu and Huo Ci gave the order to open up wasteland, they began to work in batches with a production team of [-] people.

There are gods who change houses out of thin air, and without the exhausting work of building houses, all the slaves put all their hearts and minds on land reclamation.

Different from the slaves who were ignorantly sent before, this group of slaves knew that they were coming to Chang'an Town, and everyone was excited.

Most of the slaves now look forward to going to Chang'an Town, which is the holy place in their minds.

Spring is one of them.

Because he was born in spring, his mother named him Chun.

He is the son of a lord, but because his mother is a slave, he can only be born a slave.

Chun is unwilling.

His mother used to be an aristocrat, but was captured as a slave because of defeat in the war, and she taught him a lot in private.

He could read, write and do arithmetic.

But because he was a slave, he could only groom the horses in the stables. This was arranged for him by the housekeeper because he had the blood of the lord.

But he is not happy, he is also the son of the Marquis, the young masters can study openly, can go to the temple to be priests, can go to the royal city to test the knight, and now can enter the academy run by the angel, but he can only stay in the stinky room. In the stables.

The more his mother taught him, the more he suffered.

Sometimes, he would rather he knew less.

Especially after his mother was killed by his wife, his unwillingness reached the peak.

Originally, he was not among the slaves that the Marquis sent to Chang'an Town, but he sneaked behind him.

His mother is dead, he has no nostalgia for the castle anymore, the marquis's guilt can't help him get out of slavery, he doesn't want to be the servant of the young masters all his life, he is going to Chang'an Town, only in Chang'an Town can he truly live!

This is what my mother expected.

And Chang'an Town did not disappoint him.

On the first day they entered the city, they knew that those rumors were true!

There are really no slaves here, instead workers.

Workers are treated like freedmen, if not better than the freedmen they know!

These were told by the workers themselves. Those workers who were slaves once wore clean and decent clothes. If they hadn’t said it themselves, it would be impossible to tell that they were slaves at all.

They talked about their lives in Chang'an Town. Some showed their salary slips, some brought their local wives whom they met on a blind date, and some brought their children who were studying in the college.

The eyes of the slaves were shining, full of envy and expectation.

A mother sitting next to Chun hugged her daughter excitedly. This was a child she begged the master for a long time before she was allowed to bring it. Boys are laborers and are not allowed to be taken away. Only girls have this opportunity, and they can only It is under the age of five, because it is easy to feed over the age of five.

Chun could understand her excitement. If her mother was here, she would probably be even more excited than her. In her dreams, her mother always hoped that he could study and study, and one day he would get rid of his slave status.

On the first day, everyone was full of expectations for Chang'an Town.

But soon, everyone was hit. They were not assigned to the factory, but to the edge of the forest to cultivate fields.

This is to make them serfs?

Everyone guessed that most slaves accepted it quickly and were happy. Although they did not become workers, serfs are much better than slaves. At least serfs can farm without starving, and they can own their own houses. Taxes are much less than in the territory.

Some slaves were resentful and complained, and they were not serious about their work. Not all slaves worked hard. Many slaves were no longer favored by the lord. There were also some who had the same identity as Chun. , what they do in the territory is simple and easy work.

Like Chun, they came here expecting to change their identities.

These people were quickly taken away.

Everyone was taken aback, including Chun, and another small group of slaves who were as smart as him.

They were not dismayed at being assigned to clear the land, nor did they feel that the oracle wanted them to be serfs.

Angels don't need slaves, and they need useful people.

This is what they analyzed from the news they inquired about.

So they're waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

Most of those who can be sent to the envoys are teenagers and young adults. Like Chun, they are eager to try, looking forward to seizing the opportunity and turning over in a single leap.

The slaves were taken away to wake them up, and they realized that the envoys were not unconditionally merciful and tolerant, and they immediately became cautious one by one.

Chun carefully collected other people's information, and he had already discovered that he was not the only one who could read and write, and soon, he joined forces with several celibate teenagers like him in the brigade, waiting for the opportunity.

They didn't make them wait too long, and after simply clearing out a large area, the subordinate officials appeared again.

"The basic land reclamation has been completed, and you have done a good job."

The subordinate officer named Qingshi smiled at them. I heard that he was the head of the guard, and this time he was specially transferred to manage them.

The slaves were silent. For half a month, they had seen the power of the leader. Those who were taken away were all ordered by him. His cold face was extremely scary.

Chun stared at the badge on the pocket of Qingshi's jacket with envy in his eyes. He heard that it was worn by the God Envoy himself.

He wants to enter the guard, but unfortunately his body is not strong.

"In order to reward everyone's hard work and hard work, starting today, the food will be raised by one level."

Qingshi said loudly, and then waved his hand, the guards carried today's dinner up in an orderly manner, and the steamer stacked as high as a person was lifted, revealing a steaming steaming basket of white steamed buns the size of two adults' fists .

The tall wooden barrel next to it was lifted to reveal the fragrant polenta, and there were seven wooden basins lined up next to it, with four cold dishes and three hot dishes.

Make the slaves envious, there is meat!

The nearest row of eyes is almost out of their sockets.

The white flour steamed buns have already shocked them, but there is still meat!

One by one almost green eyes.

Qingshi's face darkened, and the commotion crowd immediately quieted down. He raised the loudspeaker again: "Because you performed well, you can increase the food. If you perform poorly, you may reduce it at any time."

In fact, another reason is for the stomachs of these slaves. They have been half-full for a long time, and they don’t eat well. months, the food can be improved.

"I don't think anyone wants to continue to eat lunch food, if anyone wants to, stand up!"

No one stood up, and those who had just made small movements were tense, afraid of bad things.

"Very good." Qingshi was satisfied, "Next, the brigade will be the main one. Each brigade leader will bring ten people to the cafeteria to carry your meals. Each person will fix three steamed buns, one bowl of porridge and one dish. Don't take too much. If you can't eat , and don’t take too much.”

"Now, all the captains come out, and immediately choose people to go!"

The team leader was elected on the day of the division, and almost all of them were the oldest in each team, so they dared not delay, so they hurriedly picked out ten people to keep up.

Chun was also selected and followed the captain to the cafeteria.

Everyone ate this meal with relish, and everyone ate everything, even licking the plate clean.

Chun chewed on the sweet steamed buns and held back his tears.

He thought of his mother.

The only time he had eaten steamed buns with white flour was given to his mother by the Marquis. At that time, the cooking of steamed buns had just spread to their territory, and his mother was reluctant to eat them, so she hid them in her pocket and secretly gave them to him.

He asked his mother if she had eaten, and she said she had.

He happily ate it.

Then the next day, the maid beside the madam sued her for stealing food. When he came back from hunting with the marquis with the horse, the mother had already been whipped fifty times by the housekeeper by the madam, and she died the next day.

Tears rolled in Chun's eyes, he gritted his teeth and stuffed a whole steamed bun into his mouth.

There was a fire burning in my heart.

He's sure to come out on top.

As long as you give him a chance, one day, he will stand taller than anyone else.

He wants to make those people regret it!
