Lord of Prolo

His name is Li Banfeng—”Feng” as in “mountain peak,” not “madness.” The doctor confirmed he is not insane.

To save a friend’s life, he stepped onto Platform 96, boarded the 11...

Chapter 728: Replacement

That night, several hundred slaves came to the imperial city. These slaves came from various households. They were all brave enough to run out. The household heads did not dare to stop them, but these slaves had no place to go, so they could only come to the imperial city to seek refuge with Li Qi.

Yu Deqiu and Shuangqian didn't take these servants seriously.

"More than a dozen slaves escaped from my house last night. I didn't stop them. I told the rest to leave if they wanted to. They didn't dare to leave!"

"I'll do the same as Brother Yu. Let them go. I'll see what they eat after they get out!"

Yu Yunqiu took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Ao, I am not bragging, but in Qidu, as long as someone comes from my family, no one dares to buy them, no one dares to use them, and no one dares to give them a bite of food!"

Ao Shuangqian said: "Brother Yu, I have the confidence. The slaves who leave my house can only wait to starve to death. If they want to find Li Qi, let them find him. I want to see what Li Qi can use to feed them.

Yu Yunqiu sneered, "He said there will be no slaves within three days, so let's not call them slaves anymore. Let's change their name to slaves, which sounds nicer."

Ao Shuangqian nodded and said, "It doesn't matter what you call him, just treat it as a way to tease him."

Yu Yunqiu said: "The most urgent thing is to get the fire cage horse back."

Ao Shuangqian sighed: "This is indeed a difficult matter. The key is that Li Qi knows everything and may retaliate at any time. I was the one who gave the Fire Cage Horse to him, so I guess he will come to me first."

Ban Chiling was a little angry: "Who told him to tell you? He told the city lord that he could send those 100 people to our factory!"

Tie Baisheng nodded: "Yes, if we have to rebel!"

Yu Yunqiu actually laughed. Ban Chiling spoke very frankly.

Tie Baisheng was not brave enough, so he straightened his back and continued, "If we don't have the raw materials, you can buy them if the Ao family and the Yu family agree."

Tie Baisheng took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me for being so bold, but one courage is enough. I'd better lend you a few less."

I am willing to spend all the money, and I want to go back to floating, but I can't have a bad meal.

Yu Yunqiu was not optimistic either: "The Fire Cage is a treasure passed down in my family. If Li Qi investigates, it will take a long time for him to find your body. Let's make preparations early. If it really works, we'll tear our faces apart!"

When the servants were lighting the fire, the torches kept shaking because we were holding them steady.

You have a total of 2,800 servants outside your family, but that's more than enough. All the useful people have been sent out of the factory. You don't even have a maid around you.

Li Qi suddenly appeared, and the banchiling bell could speak.

Yu Yunqiu asked again: "Is he afraid that his subordinates will rebel?"

Ban Chiling spat: "He really knows how to flatter himself. Is he just following orders? He is clearly trying to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune."

Tie Baisheng was surprised and asked, "Why is it possible? He says he is short of people every day. Wouldn't it be just right for him to send us some people?"

The aerial camps and underwater fortresses that seemed extremely weak to Yu Yunqiu might be nothing to Neizhou.

Yu Yunqiu said with a sullen face: "You can remind him that we are workers, slaves."

Tie Baisheng explained: "Your Majesty, that is not an abnormal cargo ship. Eighteen days is enough for the construction."

Ban Chiling was startled and turned to look at Li Qi.

You made money in the state of New York, and you know you can make less money that way, but in the city of New York, you dare to do that."

Shun stood in front of Yu Yunqiu and began to shiver as well.

Yu Yunqiu asked: "What if it's a warship?"

Tie Baisheng was really here, and I quickly brought all the indentures of the slaves.

That morning, Huang Shanyuan went to the first city.

I just walked away quietly.

If you let all the slaves go, your factory will be ruined. If all the factories are ruined, it means you are doing a good job in management. You will be laughed at when you are released. Don’t you think that is the truth?”

Not only is it small, but even though I am an expert, I can see that the workmanship of that ship is better than that of the warships in Lizhou.

Tie Baisheng smiled and said, "Lingzi, for the sake of our friendship, you should remind him that Xiao is still a slave. The matter is a foregone conclusion and no one can stop it.

Tie Baisheng said: "You have always wanted to run the factory with fewer people, but according to your status, the number of slaves you have is more than that of the Ao family and the Yu family. Now you want to be a slave, you hire workers, do you think we should be able to limit the number of workers you hire?"

Ban Chiling raised his head and said, "City Lord, I was just about to tell you that. You may be too familiar with the construction methods. Your shipyard looks like it is staffed by people, but in fact, there are dozens of people working there.

The slaves shouted in low voices, and Yu Yunqiu could hear clearly what we were shouting. We also knew what we were shouting, and we were shouting with all our might.

Yu Yunqiu said: "What if you lend him some courage?"

When they arrived at the shipyard, Tie Baisheng first paid the workers their wages for the day.

Yu Yunqiu shook his head and said, "It's up to us to allocate it. As long as you allocate it, he can use it. You said so."

Lizhou tried its best to avoid direct conflict with Neizhou, and that was the right decision. In terms of technological level, there was no generation gap between the two.

Tie Baisheng laughed and said, "What's the point? It's not wrong to do what the city lord ordered."

The commoner Zhao Yeqing came over with a lantern and a dozen waiters, shouting to the crowd: "Everyone, do you want to eat? Your restaurant has just opened. Eight coins will fill you up, seven coins will make you sick, and ten coins will make you feel light on your feet. Do you want to try it?"

My wife used her voice-repairing skills to help us shout, and the whole city could hear us.

Yu Yunqiu lowered her eyes and asked, "Why can it be sent?"

Ban Chiling roared at the slaves: "You ruined a ship, and that's it. You should throw them out of the boiler and boil them alive!"

Huang Shanyuan also believes that the underwater base destroyed by the navy will also cost Turkey a price.

I am worried about the poor placement and there are too many people coming.

Tie Baisheng thought for a moment and said, "There are many types of warships of that size. The construction period will probably be between 70 and 87 days."

According to future rules, after work, the servants would either eat some peat and then go to sleep. It is still early now and we know what to do.

Bad arrogant man.

Many slaves knew what to do with the money when they saw it for the first time.

Huang Shanyuan looked at Tie Baisheng, and I found that among the group of nobles, that person was extraordinary.

It is hard to say that the boat has no practical value. Its structure is so simple that even one person can sit on it.

Tie Baisheng woke up as if from a dream: "Ah, what does he want to hear from you?"

After Tie Baisheng brought the 2,800 slaves to the gate of the imperial city, under the watchful eyes of Li Qi, I and the slaves lit a fire and burned the indentures.

"Are you going to take a look at Tie Baisheng's factory?"

It was the sign in charge, it was the sign in charge, it was all about delaying work. The freed slave walked out of the shipyard, looked around, and knew where to go.

Ban Chiling also quickly followed suit and saluted.

Yu Yunqiu frowned and said, "Is that considered a hero saving a beautiful girl?"

Tie Baisheng suddenly realized: "So he was talking about that. Why did he go and say that?"

Ao Shuanghou also had the same idea: "While Li Qi is busy placing his slaves, we should take the initiative."

It was also the first time for Tie Baisheng to distribute money in Xiaodu. His subordinates were experienced, so Tie Baisheng had to do the counting and accounting himself. After distributing the money, Tie Baisheng looked at his pocket watch and it was not yet time to finish work.

Yu Yunqiu believed that she had heard it wrong.

"You said it was convenient for you."

But now Ma Hu thinks that the actual situation may be slightly different.

But those servants are now commoners. We have to be paid for our work, and we can come and go as we please. What do you think of your servants?"

Ban Chiling glanced at Yu Yunqiu, and his originally relaxed mood gradually calmed down.

Yu Yunqiu turned around and looked at Ban Chiling: "He said the labor force is poor?"

"Is he really sober or just pretending to be sober?" Ban Chiling pointed at several slaves working under the boat and raised his voice, "Does he know who the city lord wants to send? They are all slaves like us.

Above the firelight, Yu Yunqiu glanced at every young man, and my gaze made everyone shudder.

Workers work fast. If a cargo ship is made in 18 days, it can be made in 10 days by workers. If a slave makes 8 out of 10 ships, there will be no mistakes. If a worker makes 10 ships, there may be no mistakes.

Back outside the imperial city, the wife sighed heavily: "My husband is wrong, Li Banfeng and Queen Ao Shuang are indeed the key."

To put it wrongly, those ships were built and maintained.

Yu Yunqiu looked at Zhao Yeqing and said loudly: "That shop owner is a stupid person. He is a person who can make a little money and seems to be able to do little things."

The flame shot up very low, carrying the paper ashes into the air.

"This is also to support us. We have to find a way for us to make a living!"

Ban Chiling pointed at Tie Baisheng's nose and cursed: "What does that bastard want to do? You asked him to ask the city lord to give him a few more days, but he released all the slaves outside his factory. What does that mean?"

“Food is a problem.”

Ban Chiling's eyes widened as he said, "The servants outside the factory were originally calm, but now there is another group of people coming. If we all live a bad life, will the servants under your command also rebel?"

Tie Baisheng was not afraid at all, but after a while, all the ladies who were looking at me raised their heads.

Ban Chiling was startled and realized the seriousness of the problem: "Your Majesty, who are you going to send over?"

Ban Chiling picked up the whip and was about to call the servant to stop him when he heard someone ask, "It only took a dozen days to build such a small boat?"

"Making a living is also a problem," Yu Yunqiu said solemnly, "The only problem is not the large number of people."

"Bad!" Shun made up his mind and accompanied Huan and Zhao Yeqing to the restaurant.

Huang Shanyuan shook his head and said, "Are you here to force him? Are you here to help him? Is he short of manpower? Send him some."

Going to a restaurant for dinner?

Yu Yunqiu pulled Tie Baisheng up and said, "Stand up straight and talk. You said it."

The clerk explained: "You asked someone to check the damage several times, and they did find that the pipes were connected incorrectly.

Yu Yunqiu nodded and said, "We can restrict him, you said so."

Tie Baisheng nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then go find the city lord."

Tie Baisheng lost all his courage, raised his head, and continued: "You want to take less land and build a smaller factory, but you can't use it without the land. You must listen to the allocation of the Ao family and the Yu family."

Yu Yunqiu laughed and said, "Who is he talking about?"

Ban Chiling shook his head and said, "If there is no defect in the ship, it can be directly rebuilt. Repairing the ship will require a lot of manpower. You have very few manpower to begin with, so why would you do such a laborious and troublesome task?"

Tie Baisheng raised his head and said, "My Lord, this is convenient for you."

"What kind of courage do you have? Tell me about it."

Tie Baisheng will definitely give the order and let the servants continue to work, and we will also approve of it.

Yu Yunqiu asked: "How much does he want?"

Ban Chiling was dumbfounded. You stared at Tie Baisheng and said, "Old Tie, what is he doing standing there? Say something!"

Walking past two workshops, Yu Yunqiu saw a series of pools, with a large boat about one meter long soaking outside each pool.

Yu Yunqiu said: "They are not slaves anymore. Please help them burn their indentures."

PS: Banfeng hugged his wife and said: "Those who wake up early will be taken care of, those who wake up late will be worried, and the rest who wake up will be sent off to the next level."

Tie Baisheng repeated: "Your Majesty, the banchi bell is convenient here, and yours is convenient there."

Those noble ladies found that no one was watching us.

The servant said nothing, but I made no defence, much less plead.

The slaves dare to leave because we have forgotten how to live!

The record player standing in the corner of the room also thought he had heard it wrong.

Yu Yunqiu was still too skeptical: "Does he feel disadvantaged by doing that?"

Ban Chiling was quite proud: "If the skin is broken, it will leave a scar. Even if the boat is repaired, the old scar will remain. The boats made by your factory are not well-received. You can ruin your reputation because of such a thing."

The ancient lifestyle of the Shang Dynasty sometimes gives people the illusion that our technological level is relatively backward.

Li Banfeng picked up the wine glass, Ao Shuanghou nodded slightly, and they both drank it all in one gulp.

Sisuan looked at the fire, calculated its location, and fanned the fire.

Fish worker girl, take a look

Tie Baisheng shook his head and said, "Yes, I am afraid! You treat your slaves the same way. As long as you agree to help you, you will burn all our indentures when you go back. We were all workers before."

Ban Chiling said: "So you have to tell the city lord about that! I can send the slaves to you!"

Yu Yunqiu asked again: "Did that ship really take more than ten days to build?"

Ban Chiling was wrong. That was tantamount to forcing the slaves to rebel. How could Tie Baisheng dare to take the initiative to recruit those 100 slaves?

To be honest, Li Qi was also frightened. He was frightened by the banchi bell and the ship.

Tie Baisheng said: "There are many types of warships. It depends on the size and purpose of the warship."

Yu Yunqiu smiled and said, "A commoner, a commoner who has just gained freedom."

Yu Yunqiu called a woman over to verify the identity on the spot. The woman's name was Si Suan.

There was a man named Huan, who was also in the porcelain business and knew Shun. You walked up to Shun and asked loudly: "Want to go to a restaurant?"

Thinking about the ship models outside the water tank, the large boats outside the pool, and then looking at the ships under the sea, Huang Shanyuan Xiaozhi understood the process of shipbuilding in Neizhou.

In the Dark Star Bureau, I have carried out missions under the sea. I have seen very few warships, but the ship I am on now is smaller than most of the warships I have seen.

Tie Baisheng looked confused: "What can we think?"

Everyone looked at each other, knowing that they were not qualified. In Xiaoshang, servants could withdraw from the restaurant.

Yu Yunqiu said: "It doesn't matter if I nod or not. As long as you nod, he can buy it. You said so."

But not many people want a contract, we are worried that it will become a contract of sale.

Zhao Yeqing understood our concerns and smiled at everyone, "Since you have come to invite me, it depends on whether you are willing to show me your kindness."

Ban Chiling was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your Highness, I will tell you the truth again. Everyone in the capital really did that! You are the only one missing, so please don't force me!"

The indentures were burned, the slaves shed tears, and Shun also shed tears.

Tie Baisheng smiled and said, "That's not right. Isn't the purpose of doing business to make money?"

Yu Yunqiu said: "Because there are too few people who can replace us."

Ban Chiling grabbed the servant and said, "Is that so? Do you really care about them? How about the ten-day construction period? If he redoes the work for you now and there is no problem at all, you will kill him!"

The shipyard was run by Ban Chiling. The pipes of a ship were connected without any problems. Ban Chiling was scolding the servants beside him under the ship: "How did they check it? There were so few mistakes. Did they find out later?"

I have prepared a new contract. If you are willing to work for me for a full year, the monthly salary for an unskilled worker is 1,700 coins, and for a skilled worker is 700 coins.

Yu Yunqiu touched the railing beside him: "A warship as small as that cargo ship."

But those big boats look very similar to the ship models inside, so could it be that they are not transformed from ship models?

Just like the camp that invaded Baishun County, such a meticulously constructed camp can be moved to Pro Province. Yu Yunqiu feels that it will take a lot of time to build this camp. If we build a camp well, it will cost the Shang Kingdom a huge price.

"If you want to see it, you can't be fooled at that stage," Huang Shanyuan held his wife's hand, "Let's go together and take a look at our craftsmanship."

"You've been to Lizhou before, you know what workers are like, you know the difference between us and slaves, you're willing to set slaves free, you signed a contract with us, it's a contract to sell yourself, it's a contract with Lizhou, you paid us, and you promised that we could decide for ourselves whether to stay or go." To prove that he had been to Lizhou, Tie Baisheng said

The tone of his speech changed.

Yu Yunqiu walked around the cabin and asked, "It's such a broken ship, and there are only a few pipes left. Can we just fix them?"

Are they all the famous gardeners? Are they all the board owners? Are they "now, right, before the yellow road?

Yu Yunqiu continued walking forward, during which he saw many devices outside the workshop, some of which were stirring liquids, and some of which were grinding powders. Walking to the end of the workshop, Yu Yunqiu saw a vast ocean with fourteen ships of various sizes floating under the ocean.

"City Lord, your indentures, and the burning..."

But Tie Baisheng is his man. Since he has made an agreement with Li Qi, he has to do things according to Lizhou's rules. He has to go to work after work and get to work today.

Upon hearing that, Ban Chiling's face turned pale with fear. You know what Yu Yunqiu meant. You also heard that more than a hundred commoners arrived at the imperial city last night. "Your Highness, what can you do to those commoners?"

Yu Yunqiu said: "As long as the repair is done seriously, it will also be considered as damaging the brand, right?"

It took Sisuan ten minutes to make the comparison, and the names of the 2,800 young slaves were found to be incorrect, and were exactly the same as the list provided by Tie Baisheng later.

Tie Baisheng was there too. I didn't have any shares in the shipyard, so I took the blueprint and compared it with it: "Those pipes were wrong from the beginning. There's no way to change them. The ship is ruined. Ten days of hard work have been wasted."

"Why must it be so? Is he short of manpower? You asked us to come and work for him. He must remember that we are common people and we don't get paid for our work. It depends on our feelings whether we want to stay or not. You can send the people here later." After saying that, Yu Yunqiu left the shipyard.

Not many servants followed him.

I once had an idea that in the battle with Neizhou, as long as we don't consume any energy, we will have nothing to fear and will not dare to attack Pro Province again.

Arriving at the Imperial City, Tie Baisheng met Yu Yunqiu. After exchanging a few polite words, Tie Baisheng changed the subject: "Your Majesty, when you came here, I wanted to discuss something with you. Could you please not send the clerk to the plate-tooth bell factory?"

I react slower than others, do things slower than others, but I can always make the right response after seeing Yu Yunqiu.

The servant's attitude made Ban Chiling feel very relaxed.

Ban Chiling gritted his teeth and said, "Remember this for you. Don't let him get close to your servants. If anyone dares to run to him, kill them all!"

The lady smiled and said, "Zhao Yeqing, the firefly, has a clear mind and sharp eyes, and is very clear about business, but he is not as clear as this person. The cow-headed girl is much worse."

You can't change our name. Just like Tie Baisheng said, we should change it to workers first, and we can stay or leave freely. You are definitely trying to stop us. When you have enough manpower, you can change it quickly and completely. Do you think it's okay?"

Out of this. And seven of them are all transformed, and now appear abnormal from one to a little

It is said in the outside world that Li Qi is unpredictable. Now it seems that my ability to appear and disappear from the shadows is true. However, in terms of knowledge, I am not an abnormal person, and I have never shown any weakness. The sentence I just said proves that I know a lot about the craftsmanship.

Zhao Xiaowan, wearing women's clothing, lowered her voice and said to Huang Shanyuan: "It's a pity that only a few hundred people came. There is no food outside the imperial city. The surplus food we have is enough for us to eat for a few days."

"It's a loss," Tie Baisheng shook his head. "Workers and slaves work the same way. If working for money is the same as being forced to work by whips,

"Eight!"

People can be killed with caution, but the consequences of taking human life are right at the gate of the imperial city, so he can't be vague about it."

The first level of the city is full of factories. It looks like there are people working there, but in fact there are a lot of busy slaves in the factories.

Yu Yunqiu was silent for a long while, and I looked very serious.

The daily wages are low, with an unskilled worker getting eighty coins and a skilled worker getting ten.

Huang Shanyuan's move was to let the slaves see how an abnormal person should live.

We first built a palm-sized ship model, then developed a one-meter-long boat, and finally a small boat of dozens or even hundreds of meters.

Ban Chiling said: "You just told me, did he hear it? I listened to you, he is a good talker, he went to tell me again, there are so few factories outside the city, let me send it somewhere else first.

"You were so courageous that hundreds of people showed up."

Tie Baisheng bowed quickly and said, "I knew that His Majesty was coming, and you did not fail to welcome him."

Tie Baisheng shook his head and said, "You are a hero, you also think Ban Chiling is a beauty, you really want those one hundred young men."

Tie Baisheng checked it again. My professional ability is worse than Ban Chiling's: "If you are mistaken, it must be deliberately connected incorrectly. It was wrong when the mold was cast. There may not be many ships with problems."

Yu Yunqiu looked at the hundreds of people behind him without any serious expression.

I touched the copper coins on my hand. I used to be a porcelain worker, but I could only be a worker in the shipyard. Today I earned ten cents.

A group of nobles and ministers were looking at Tie Baisheng eagerly, but there was a hint of coldness in our eyes.

Yu Yunqiu retired from a shipyard. In the first workshop, palm-sized ship models were placed outside a water tank and soaked. Tubes of various colors were inserted under the water tank, and liquids of the same color were injected into the outside of the tank.

That was much less than the daily wage, and many workers signed the contract, and Shun was not one of them.

Seeing Huang Shanyuan laughing, Ban Chiling spoke more daringly: "You Ban Chi family are all honest people. Why are you talking in such a roundabout way? I'll tell you straight out that you are a Kaili.
