Perhaps because he sprayed enough floral water, Ye Zhou finally had a good sleep. However, because he sprayed too much, Ye Zhou could no longer smell the scent of floral water on his body. He could only take a walk in the woods and wait for the pungent fragrance to disappear on its own.
He would occasionally use a telescope to observe the slaves during the day.
It was different from what he imagined. He thought the slaves would cheer, but when he held the telescope, he could only see the confused expressions on the slaves' faces.
For a moment, Ye Zhou thought he had done something wrong.
But he soon figured it out.
He does not think that people have slave mentality. No one is born wanting to be a slave. People are just afraid of change.
Zhou Wen and his family have lived in a village for generations. If it were not for a natural disaster, they would never leave the land they are familiar with, because on that land, they know how to survive.
The same goes for slaves. They only know one way to live. Not being a slave is the beginning of the unknown for them.
Ye Zhou himself had just jumped from the modern era to the Daliang Dynasty and he also felt terrified. He didn't know what he was going to face and he was terrified every day. At one point he even wanted to give up and just stay in the supermarket and wait to die.
So he could understand them.
What the slaves need most is a way to survive.
Anyway, he now has enough ability, funds and resources, and is willing to help them.
If he can succeed, that would be the best. If he can't, he won't have any regrets in this plane.
"We have to get the seeds and farm tools here when the time comes." Ye Zhou discussed with Chen Shu, "But there are no roads here, so it's not possible to transport them by car."
There are cars in the system mall now, and Ye Zhou can drive, but the road conditions here do not allow it.
Chen Shu asked curiously, "Hasn't the system unlocked the carrying tools yet?"
This was the first time Ye Zhou had heard of carrying tools, so he asked curiously, "What are carrying tools?"
Chen Shu: "In order to facilitate transportation, the system has a dimensional box. Goods can be directly placed in the dimensional space, which means that you only need to carry one box. I remember that this thing was unlocked quite early, usually in the first plane."
Ye Zhou blinked. "Really?"
Chen Shu couldn't help but ask, "Boss, have you checked the unlock bar?"
Ye Zhou quickly "proved his innocence" "I must have seen it, otherwise how could I unlock the protective shield?"
Chen Shu thought for a moment and said, "Then I don't know. Let's see when we get back. How long will we stay here?"
"We'll go back tomorrow." Ye Zhou, "We'll find a way to transport the things back."
"But I have to give that man named Kurt a good talk tonight."
Kurt is a speculator. He is shrewd and cunning, but he is not completely without the fear of God.
If this kind of person is used well, he can be a very good messenger.
Ye Zhou finally understood why many emperors loved to use eunuchs and treacherous ministers, because compared with loyal ministers, these people could better understand his intentions and convey his requirements strictly or even harshly.
Once the emperor has achieved his goal, he can get rid of the emperor and still gain a reputation as a wise ruler.
There were many emperors who did this. Even Wu Zetian appointed cruel officials in the early days of her reign. As soon as her position was stable, she immediately began to settle accounts with these "heroes".
The same thing happened to Zhao Gao and others.
Everyone knows that he is a bad person, why would the emperor use him?
Because in some cases, he is more useful than a good man, and much more useful.
And there will be no resistance or regret when you get rid of it later.
Ye Zhou just hoped that he was not wrong about the person and that Kurt could indeed serve as the treacherous minister.

"This is fine wine sold by merchants in the royal capital." Carl respectfully filled a glass of bright red wine for Kurt.
Kurt had never seen or drunk this kind of wine, but he didn't want to show his embarrassment, so he immediately said, "The temple also has fine wine, and I've had enough of it."
After saying this, he waved his hands, indicating that he had no interest in this kind of wine.
Carl glanced at Lord Ryan, Ryan gave him a look, and Carl retreated with the wine jug.
"I won't lie to you." Ryan looked at Carl, "I don't have much. I have gems, but they are all cheap. I have some gold, but I don't know if Lady Moon God likes these things. The rest I only have wine."
"See what you can give to the Lord."
Kurt said calmly, "Everything you have should be presented to the Moon Goddess!"
He said in a sharp tone, "You must understand that even you belong to Master Moon God, so of course all your property should belong to Master Moon God. Whether Master Moon God wants it or not is one thing, and whether you are willing to give it is another."
This sentence woke Ryan up, and Ryan nodded, "You are right."
He had already donated his land to Lord Moon God, so he didn't need to keep anything else.
Compared with eternal life, these things are so "cheap" that he doesn't even feel bad about them.
Kurt smiled and said, "When Lord Luna returns to the moon, maybe he will take you with him."
"Even if the Lord doesn't take you with him, it won't be difficult for you to become a duke since you have what the Lord has given you."
Ryan also smiled, but his ambition was not limited to being a duke. If he really had the favor of God, why couldn't he be the one sitting on the throne?
"Go pack it up," Ryan said to Carl who was waiting on the side. "Let the illiterate servants pack up all the things dedicated to the Moon God and move them to the mountain. Let's see if Lord Moon God will come tonight."
Carl nodded his head and agreed.
"Have you seen the face of Lord Moon?" Ryan asked Kurt with a little curiosity after Carl left.
Kurt "..."
He actually didn't see it, but as a "messenger of God", it would be too outrageous if he said that he had never seen the appearance of the Moon Goddess.
"Lord Moon God has more than one body and one appearance." Kurt immediately made up a story based on the myths and rumors. "When he was in the temple, Lord Moon God had one appearance. Now he may be a different one."
"I never dare to look adults in the face when they are in front of me."
"But no matter what you say, your body is beautiful."
The Moon Goddess is also the Goddess of Beauty.
Ryan said longingly, "I hope Lord Moon God can understand my piety."
Kurt: "As long as you are loyal to the adults, the adults will understand!"
At the same time, Ira, lying on the grass, looked at the sky. For the first time in his life, he felt that the blue sky and white clouds together could be so beautiful. He felt unprecedented happiness under the sunshine.
From today on, he is a free man. He no longer has to work like an ox or a horse, nor does he have to be whipped, nor does he have to drink muddy water like animals. He is a human being!
"Why aren't you worried at all?" The other slaves who became freemen couldn't understand him. They complained in a low voice, "How can we be freemen? What does it mean to be freemen? After becoming freemen, where will our food come from?"
“Is it really good to be a freeman?”
Ira listened to their words and said indifferently, "Of course it's good to be a free man."
The slaves had their own ideas: "But slaves don't have to pay taxes."
"Rishi was a free man before, and his family became slaves because they couldn't pay the taxes."
Lisi was a man with a big nose. When he noticed that everyone was looking at him, he had to say, "The taxes are very high every year. We have to pay taxes after the harvest. If the remaining grain is not enough for the next year, we have to borrow grain from the lord."
"But the taxes next year will be higher, and we can't pay back the borrowed grain, so we have to borrow more."
They will be in debt forever until they become slaves.
After hearing this, the slaves felt that being free people was not so good.
After all, you are destined to become a slave in the end, so why struggle?
Ira thought they were all too stupid, so he said patiently, "Although we are free people, we are also slaves of Lord Moon God!"
"Since you are the slave of Lord Moon, how can you still be a slave to the lord? A slave can only have one master."
After he explained it, the slaves understood it instantly.
"So that's how it is."
"That's good. From now on, it will be Lord Moon God who will make us do the work."
"I wonder if Lord Moon God will have us whipped."
"Lord Moon God is a kind god! As long as you don't make mistakes, Lord Moon God will not punish you."
The slaves began to look forward to their future life. They would still have work to do, and Lord Moon God would definitely let them do it, give them food, and would not whip them. It would be great if they could have a roof where they slept so they wouldn't get wet when it rained!
"I heard that Lady Moon God has black hair and black eyes." A slave whispered, "They all said they saw it."
The other slaves were also curious, "Is this true? I have seen people with black hair, but I have never seen anyone with black eyes."
"I heard that he looks different from us."
They talked excitedly and all believed that they would be able to live a good life after Lord Moon God came.
Although this is a good day, I am still a slave.
"We haven't worked for the past two days." A slave asked anxiously, "Will we still have food to eat today?"
Although they all had a stash of black bread, it would not last long if the lord did not give them food.
"Should be possible?" Ira was also a little uncertain. "If we starve to death, the lord will not be able to explain to Lord Moon."
But he himself didn't really believe it.
Even the human lords don't care about their lives, let alone Lord Moon God who is a god.
But they could only comfort themselves - they were now slaves of the Moon God, and the lord could not starve them to death whenever he wanted.
"It would be nice if Kane were alive." Someone suddenly said, "He always wanted to be a free man."
Ila was stunned. Many slaves did not have names, but Kane did.
He didn't know Kane's past, but he knew that Kane was different from them.
If it were Kane, he would definitely not panic about becoming a free man, because he knew how to survive after becoming a free man.
"I really hope that Master Moon God can stay here forever."
"This way, I, my children, and my children's children can always be slaves of the Moon Goddess."
“That would be great!”
They don't ask for much, just a stable life and to fill their stomachs.
They can't count on people, they can only count on God.
