Creating a Different World - Chapter 2537
[Chapter 2537 Discussion]
“Master, we have captured a total of 51 bandits, including 20 adult males, 15 adult females, and 16 children, 9 boys and 7 girls. The oldest is 57 years old and the youngest is only 12 years old!” After counting, Cassidio came to report.
In fact, Jia Zhengjin noticed just now that there are many children in this group of bandits, and they are also holding swords, guns, bows and arrows, looking very fierce: “Take them back first!”
“Yes!”
“Did you find anything good in the bandit cave?”
“Report to the master, only 3 gold coins, dozens of copper coins, some rotten food, animal meat, fur and the like were found in the cave.”
“So, this bandit nest is so poor?” Jia Zhengjin was a little disappointed.
“It’s not that poor, at least there are three gold coins!” Tina said with a smile on the side, “It’s better than nothing. Besides, the most valuable thing is this group of bandits, which is a very rare labor force!”
“That’s right!” Jia Zhengjin was relieved.
“By the way,” Meng Xiaoting walked to his side and whispered, “those children should not be used as coolies, right? They probably became bandits because they had nowhere else to go, or they were taken away by adults because they had no choice. Why don’t we set up a school after we take them back to teach them knowledge and integrate them into our team. They can help us when they grow up!”
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was speechless, leaned close to her ear and whispered, “We will leave this world after we find Princess Mashi’s soul, have you forgotten? Are you cursing that I won’t be able to find Princess Mashi’s soul and will have to stay here for dozens or hundreds of years? This world is not the Earth we are familiar with, but a backward parallel world. You have also been to Flato Town, aren’t there so many children who have no books to read and have to help their parents? At most, let these children do easier work and not be so tired. At least in our village, it’s better than being bandits.”
“Oh!” Meng Xiaoting also realized that she was not used to this kind of thinking. After all, it was not in the same world. “I’ll listen to you.”
The bandits were pulled back to the village, and the bandit den was burned down directly to stop them from escaping.
Of course, as long as the bandits are well fed and well housed in the village and find that they can look after a better life, they will no longer have the intention to continue to be bandits.
At the same time, Jia Zhengjin asked Cassidio to take slave soldiers to supervise these bandits.
Slave soldiers are absolutely loyal, and when fully armed, their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of bandits. Breaking up their team will not threaten anyone at all.
Basically, two slave soldiers guard one bandit, and they can’t do anything.
However, for the sake of insurance, all the bandits’ hands and feet are slightly tied in the early stage, as long as it does not affect the labor, but can prevent them from escaping or resisting. Arrangements are made
here, and people are asked to take out enough wild water chestnut rice, large leaf beans and broad-leaved vegetables, so that the bandits can have a full meal first, so that they know that the conditions here are better.
At the same time, Ashley and others are also asked to prepare a table of meals for Becky and her companions, which of course has more rabbit meat and chicken than the bandits, and is richer.
The captured bandits were originally worried, not knowing what their fate would be. Unexpectedly
, when they arrived here, they found that they could have a full meal right away, and they were full of doubts and excitement.
Being a robber was a last resort. Who would give up a good life and suffer in the mountains?
These people gathered here because they couldn’t make a living for various reasons, and robbed everywhere for a full meal.
But their fighting power was not very strong. At most, they blocked the road to get some money, food and equipment from passers-by, and they didn’t dare to be too ostentatious to avoid being discovered by the guards in the town.
I don’t know whether it was unlucky or lucky this time. I found five fat sheep who accidentally broke into the territory. I thought I could get a lot of money, but unexpectedly one ran away, and the other four went to the top of the mountain to fight them. In the end, this side suddenly intervened and captured them all.
After becoming a prisoner, I can have a full meal right away, although I have to cook it myself. And from what the other party said, three meals a day will not be less, and I can eat a full meal every day, which was something I didn’t dare to think about before. For people
like them, it’s good to have a full meal a day. The children are so hungry that their faces are yellow and thin, and the uncle is actually about the same.
It seems that there is no need to worry about life safety. It sounds like the master here needs more labor. As long as you are obedient, you will not be killed, but you will have good food and shelter. What could be better than this?
On the other hand, when Becky and others were enjoying the meals prepared by Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah, Jia Zhengjin told Zion about Becky’s request.
“Your Highness, are you going to escort them to Frost Dragon City in person?” Zion’s face was full of uneasiness, “How, how can I do this?”
“Once we get there, we can get another 100 gold coins!” Jia Zhengjin said, “And the other party is obviously a wealthy businessman or a noble. Maybe we can get a big order. I will take the opportunity to promote our primary physical strength potion and make more money!”
“Your Highness, I know you are doing this for our national restoration cause.” Zion whispered, “But it’s too dangerous! Frost Dragon City is so close to the imperial capital, and you are the only heir to our Ressel Empire. If you go deep into the enemy’s hinterland and are recognized, it will be terrible! No, this is too risky!”
“Zion, didn’t you say that decades have passed? The people of the Dawn Front Alliance didn’t even know that a Princess Mashi was still alive! You raised me since I was a child, and they don’t know what I look like, let alone the name Mashi. Almost everyone thinks that the Ressel Empire has been completely destroyed. What else is there to worry about? Who can recognize her?”
“That’s true!” Zion’s face was full of worry, “Your Highness, I’m still worried. You are our only hope, and there must not be any mistakes! Why don’t you let others escort us, such as Heiman and others, or Tina and others!”
Jia Zhengjin thought to himself, Tina and the others are my wives, they came here just for me, it is impossible for them to leave me here to escort Becky and others to Frost Dragon City.
As for Heiman and the others, who can be sure that they won’t let the cat out of the bag? After all, their fighting ability is good, but their brains are a little dull. If they are tricked into saying something wrong, wouldn’t it be even worse?
As soon as this was said, Zion also felt that Heiman and the others were not suitable.
“Zion, you can rest assured! With Tina and the others protecting me, plus my own magic, there will be no problem! When it comes to being able to adapt to circumstances, am I worse than Heiman and the others?” Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, “Besides, I want to lead you to restore your country. If you can’t do such a small thing, how can you talk about rebuilding Ressel?”
