Chapter 301
Heiyan laughed a few times, patted Yu Sui's shoulder proudly and said, "Of course, the one standing in front of you is the clan leader."
Loft was genuinely surprised, and he and the equally surprised Nord exchanged glances. After realizing what was happening, he asked, "You mean, the Black Rock Tribe is now led by a youngster?"
"Not only that, the name of our tribe has been changed to the Black Map Tribe. Haha, what do you think? Our cub chief is no worse than other orc chiefs, right?" Heiyan introduced with inexplicable pride.
"Everything is really different from other orc tribes..." Nord couldn't help but mutter to himself.
This scene reminded Yu Sui of the time when his grandparents used to proudly show off his achievements during the Spring Festival when they visited relatives. However, he always felt embarrassed and wanted to carve out a castle to live in.
"Well, I am the chief, right? Let's talk about the deal. These cows are prepared for us, right?"
Yu Sui quickly changed the subject and got down to business.
Hearing this, Loft led them to an open space behind the camp, where a large group of cows were leisurely eating grass.
Dozens of humans holding whips and sticks were watching closely around them. Yu Sui took a closer look and found that these humans were wearing simple cloth with holes and puddings all over the place. Their words and actions were timid. It was obvious that they were not members of the Chamber of Commerce. Their treatment was even worse than that of the coolies hired by the caravan to work.
These people included both men and women, middle-aged and young adults, but there were no elderly people or children. Their eyes were filled with tension and timidity, and their eyes were empty and desperate, hardly like living people.
Yu Sui couldn't bear it any longer and was about to ask when he heard Loft proudly pointing to the large herd of cows and saying, "To prepare for losses on the way, I brought 500 cows on board. There were still more than 400 left when we reached land. I bought these slaves specifically to raise cattle. I'm giving them away for free. Haven't you Snow Werewolves ever raised cattle? Am I being very considerate?"
It turns out that these are slaves... Yu Sui suppressed his surprise and looked at these people again. It turns out that slaves are like this. They don’t even have independent human rights. They can only be sold as commodities. The price is not even as expensive as a cow. They can only be used as gifts.
Coming here from socialism, Yu Sui saw the appearance of slaves for the first time with his own eyes, and his heart went cold.
Having always lived in a friendly and caring orc tribe, he almost forgot that this was a cruel capitalist era.
This scene made him think of the small orcs and cubs sold by the Golden Kingdom. Were they equally frightened? The human slaves in front of him at least did not have many scars, which showed that the Xilen caravan was more humane. However, the treatment of unlucky slaves would only be worse.
Evil slavery... Yu Sui sighed in his heart and looked away.
What could he change? He could only treat these slaves better in the future within his ability. He could only sigh about the small orcs he sold, as he could not save them and it only added to his troubles.
"That's great. I was really worried that my tribesmen wouldn't be able to raise cows well. These slaves who know how to raise cows are a great help." He cheered up and said to Loft.
Loft did this to win over the Black Figure Tribe. Seeing Yu Sui accept his kindness, he couldn't help but laugh a few times. "Raising cattle is not that simple. If you are not careful, the cattle will get sick, and feeding them also requires some care."
This is true. In the village where Yu lived before he turned 20, almost every household had a cow. Although the cows were big and looked easy to raise, they actually required a lot of effort.
He had seen it with his own eyes: a family was greedy and fed too much fodder to their cow, causing it to become bloated that very day and not survive the night.
Cows have four stomachs, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. They are more likely to die from overeating than other animals.
Cows in other worlds should be similar in this regard, and they have to be careful about everything.
Although the monsters and ordinary animals in the fantasy continent are ridiculously large and powerful, the hundreds of cows transported by Loft are almost the same size as the cows in his previous life.
Some of them may have been tossed around on the boat, with bulging stomachs and obvious figures on their backs. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they look skinny.
But these are only a small part. The other cows are still quite strong and are eating grass leisurely.
I have to say that Loft put a lot of thought into this business.
"With these people who know how to raise cattle, I feel much more at ease." Yu Sui said with a smile.
Loft pointed casually at the slaves and said, "Just keep them in the cowshed with the cows. Just give them something to eat so they don't starve to death. They're much easier to keep alive than cows."
Heiyan frowned uncomfortably, obviously not used to the attitude of humans towards their own kind. Then he thought of the Golden Kingdom, and his disgust became even stronger. He immediately put his hands behind his back and stopped talking.
The Xilen caravan had traveled far and wide and had some understanding of the orcs. Seeing this, Loft stopped talking about these slaves and winked at Nord.
The place where the cows were grazed was a little far from the other people in the camp. Nord looked around cautiously, then approached Yu Sui and said in a low voice, "My Lord, I have brought what you wanted, but..."
Yu Sui's eyes sparkled, and he ignored the name that gave him goose bumps. He lowered his head (finally someone lowered his head than him): "It's cotton seeds!"
Seeing Nord's hesitation, Yu Sui thought that he couldn't say it because of the high price. He also understood that in this era, cotton was basically in the hands of princes and nobles, and the seeds were especially confidential. It was not easy to get some for him, so it was normal that it was a bit expensive.
"The price is negotiable. In fact, I have prepared a lot of new things this time, and you will definitely like them." He continued.
Nord and Loft looked at each other and didn't take the words to heart.
Don’t the orcs understand? Even if they are lucky enough to find an orc who can brew good wine, what good things can they get? It’s nothing more than magic cores, furs and the like. It may be a special magical beast, but they can make a lot of money from it.
Nord shook his head and said stealthily, "No, no, I don't charge for these seeds. I just have a request, and I hope you can agree to it."
No money? Such a precious thing is given away for free? Yu Sui has heard this kind of rhetoric many times. Those free tour groups and health supplement sellers all use this rhetoric. Those who take advantage usually end up paying more!
He cautiously took a step back. Coincidentally, Hei Yan also disliked this cunning human being and stepped forward to block Yu Sui, his eyes wide and he shouted angrily, "What do you want to do?"
Nord was completely stunned. The ferocious snow werewolf in front of him was twice as tall as him, tall, strong and ferocious...
His legs were shaking and he kept shaking his head, not daring to speak.
Loft hurriedly pulled him back.
