Chapter 56 Maintenance of Slaves
It is not enough to build your own power alone.
As a time traveler who travels through modern society, Chen Heng deeply understands this truth.
Therefore, since reaching cooperation with the North Lords, he bought many slaves from the North Lords.
Slave, this is a very excellent source of human resources.
All rights of the slaves who came through transactions were deprived of, and they belonged to their masters, and no matter how they were treated, no one would pursue them.
Under normal circumstances, except for a small number of slaves with special value, the vast majority of slaves will not pay attention to them.
Because as lords, they have the right to dominate their own people to a certain extent, and whether they are fighting or doing anything else, they have free and cheap cannon fodder for use.
Although slaves are cheap, in their opinion, they still need to spend money to buy them, which is naturally not cost-effective.
But in Chen Heng's opinion, this is not the case.
As a modern man, he has many ways to develop and exploit the surplus value of those slaves.
Therefore, a considerable number of the slaves under the lord in the north were absorbed by Chen Heng and bought them by himself.
Over the past year, most of the profits he earned in Kutu have been filled in this.
He placed the purchased slaves in his manor, established a simple workshop in it, used hydraulic power and assembly line to produce them, and then sold the things produced in his manor through his own relationship.
Baron Kayson is not clear about these.
But at this moment, he could also feel the specialness of these people under Chen Heng.
Compared with ordinary people, these black-haired slaves under Chen Heng are too capable.
Moreover, not only are they capable, but they also looked at Chen Heng’s eyes and expressions very wrong.
Baron Kayson has seen slaves before.
There were many slaves on his own manor, and they were engaged in heavy agricultural labor.
But in his impression, the eyes and expressions of those slaves were often numb and afraid.
It's like losing hope and the future, there is no sign of anger.
But these under Chen Heng are a little different.
Although they are slaves, they look particularly angry and are very active in their work.
There is no way a slave should look like.
Moreover, the bodies of these slaves seemed to be very good, not as weak and decadent as other slaves.
"How did you do it?"
After observing silently for a while, Baron Kayson couldn't help but ask this question.
He felt that there were too many things he couldn't understand about this child.
His ability is so strong that many things he does cannot be understood and understood.
"Give them hope."
Facing Baron Kayson's doubts, Chen Heng's answer was also very direct.
"People and tools are different."
He looked at the hard-working black-haired slave in front of him and said softly: "Tools can be reused, but they also require daily maintenance."
"Slaves, as a special tool, also need maintenance."
Speaking of this, he spoke lightly: "Give them enough sleep and rest time, and relatively sufficient food. This is a daily maintenance so that they will not collapse or have physical problems."
"In addition, give them a little more hope, so that they can see the possibility of making life better through their own efforts."
"Doing these things well, combined with appropriate means can greatly improve their work efficiency..."
Baron Kayson was stunned, as if he understood, but he seemed to be unable to understand.
Give the slaves enough rest time with plenty of food?
This seemed a little inconsistent with what he imagined.
In order to save costs, who does not want slaves to eat the least and the simplest food and do the most and most tiring work?
It is best not to have a little time for yourself every day to earn the most benefits.
But when it comes to Chen Heng, it seems to be a little different.
"The human body needs maintenance."
Looking at Baron Kayson, Chen Heng continued to speak and explained to him: "If you want a slave to do a good job, a good body is the key."
"If you want to keep your body healthy, proper food is also necessary."
"If you use it in poor use for a long time, your body will become weaker. At that time, even if you use a whip to drive it away, you will not be able to do more work."
"And using a whip to drive away is not an efficient management method in itself."
He spoke softly and explained to Baron Kayson.
Listening to his explanation, Baron Kayson nodded, as if he understood.
"I have always been relieved to do things."
Finally, he stopped asking about this, but instead spoke: "This time I go to Baron Myra, take Ormando with me."
"It's just right, let him do something, too."
"good."
Chen Heng nodded, looking like he didn't care about this issue.
A few days later.
After all the goods arrived this time, Chen Heng set out again.
Compared with the previous few times, this time is very important.
In the previous few times, because the trade had just begun, the lords around were just tentatively unfolding, and the transaction volume was not large.
But this time it's different.
This time, when he went to Baron Myra's territory, Chen Heng took away almost all the goods transported there during this period. Its value was very high. To put it bluntly, it was a number that even Baron Kyson was terrified.
Once any mistake occurs, the losses will probably be huge.
It is precisely because this transaction is so important that Baron Kayson brought almost half of the guards in his territory during this trip.
Baron Kayson and Ormando also accompanied the team.
"so much......."
Walking on the road, Ormando looked at the boxes around him being pulled by cows and horses, and his heart was full of passion.
He knew very well what was contained in these boxes.
So he also roughly understood what a great fortune it contained in it.
And once the deal is completed, how huge profits his family will make.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel heat all over and felt a little excited.
At this moment, he still didn't know that the belonging of these things was not the family behind him, but Chen Heng himself.
In his opinion, the value of this batch of goods is so huge that Chen Heng would never have.
Most of the time it was invested by Baron Kayson, who asked Chen Heng to purchase it from the lord in the north, belonging to the entire family.
And the wealth belonging to the family will naturally be his in the future.
