Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 130 Real Slavery
Qin Xu anticipated all the moves on the other side. While grabbing the bar owner's fist, he moved his body to the left, tilted his head to the right, and his two fists brushed against his body.

The two bodyguards were stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized that one reached out to grab each other, and the other was about to punch again.

Qin Xu shook his body again, and the hand that tried to grab him missed. The fist that rushed towards him was caught by Qin Xu's other hand.

As soon as Qin Xu exerted force on his knuckles, there was a scream from the other side, and his body twisted unconsciously due to the pain.

"what……"

When he saw that his boss and another bodyguard's hands were about to be scratched by each other, the remaining bodyguard drew the pistol from his waist.

The crowd was about to panic. Just when the opponent's pistol was pointed at Qin Xu, a flash of light flashed across. In the blink of an eye, half of the pistol in the bodyguard's hand had been chopped off.

The bodyguard was still in a daze, not knowing what had happened. The half-remaining pistol in his hand felt hot to the touch. He quickly threw away the red-hot iron, and then took a step back unconsciously.

Qin Xu had already pressed the switch of the laser sword at this moment, and the blue plasma beam suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

It is true that everyone has lived for so long, and they have never seen such weapons in the army.

Being so cold under a hot weapon... seems to be a hot weapon, so there's nothing wrong with it.

The bar owner and another bouncer had fallen to the ground, licking their fingers that seemed to have been broken, and lay on the ground wailing and moaning.

The passers-by who were watching started to disperse after seeing the other party take out a gun.

But after seeing Qin Xu actually use a magical weapon to knock off the opponent's pistol, he curiously stopped back to where he was, commenting on the laser sword in Qin Xu's hand.

"What kind of weapon is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Cutting iron is easy to wear when you touch it, but cutting people is like cutting tofu."

"It's a laser, right? But will it really hurt yourself if you hold it like this?"

……

The onlookers were of all races. The Republic of Quillac was pro-foreign and liberal, which destined their capital to become a population palette.

Qin Xu didn't want to attract too many people's attention. He came here to lurk and establish an intelligence network, not to break through violently.

Qin Xu looked at the bar owner who was trying to get more bodyguards to rush over.

While he skillfully pulled out his ID from his pocket, he said, "This is going to be a big deal, and no one will feel comfortable."

The bar owner looked at the ID the other party presented——

Minister of the Human Consolidation Embassy in the Republic of Querac.

This identity suddenly made the other party energetic.

It's not that the Quillac Republic will favor the human ensemble, but that the other party has an official status.

Quillac's consortium, government officials, if you mess with these two, you can only meet in the sewers in the Quillac Republic.

The police in Quillac promised to find nothing.

Qin Xu pressed the switch, the laser beam retracted, and the crowd of onlookers who were no longer watching the scene gradually dispersed.

Qin Xu walked up to the Lizardman whose face was black and blue from the beating.

The other party was lying on the ground in big characters. If Qin Xu didn't come over, maybe the other party would be beaten to death without any resistance.

The eyes of the lizard man lying on the ground moved downwards. He saw Qin Xu standing next to him and asked weakly: "...Why did you save me?"

Qin Xu said nothing and stretched out a hand.

The other party hesitated for a while, and finally reached out and grabbed it.

Qin Xu used force and pulled the other person to stand up, but the pull was a bit too large, and he almost fell from one side to the other.

"Hey, your hands are quite strong."

Sodaun stabilized his body and returned to the bench.Naturally, he looked towards the door of the bar. The woman who had been ordered to kneel all night had been driven back to the bar.

Although he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive after entering, at least for Qin Xu's sake he didn't dare to go too far.

He touched his hand and found it was empty. He had thrown half a bottle of wine out and now there was nothing left to drink.

Sodaun sighed.

Qin Xu sat next to him and asked: "Instead of asking why I helped you, why don't you tell me why you saved that woman? Do you like her?"

Sodaun suddenly laughed, then his expression turned gloomy, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

The other party is not in a hurry, but Qin Xu is.

He came shopping with Chen Xiaomeng, saying he wanted to see what clothes looked like during the heyday of consumerism in the interstellar era.

There was a period in China when luxury became common due to excess productivity. The price for everyone becoming a luxury product was that no one was a luxury product.

In the end, it became a matter of who was more luxurious than the other and who had more materials than the other, and the prices skyrocketed. In the end, ordinary people couldn't even buy an ordinary piece of wearable clothes.

Because ordinary fabric clothes are too cheap and the profit is too low, private companies are not interested in making them.

In the end, the problem was solved only when the country came to an end.

Quillak didn't solve it. He had let it go until now, and one piece of clothing cost millions. Qin Xu felt so poor for the first time since he joined the astronauts.

After walking around the mall, Qin Xu's young mind was given a lesson on capitalism. While Chen Xiaomeng and Wang Xueer were having fun shopping, he left alone for fear that the other party would make him pay the bill.

I wanted to come out for some air and breathe the air of the free world, but then I encountered this.

Qin Xu secretly used a communicator to send a text message to Chen Xiaomeng, asking them to have fun and not come to him. He had a mission here and it was not convenient to meet him for the time being.

"What do you think of that slave just now..."

As if looking for something to say, Suo Darn suddenly asked Qin Xu who had been sitting beside him.

Qin Xu came back to his senses, "I don't have any opinion. Our country has always adhered to the concept of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs. However, at the beginning, our country also engaged in slavery for alien races. Later, we found that there was no output and the management cost was higher than the output. , it was abolished. Speaking of which, how are your slaves managed?"

Qin Xu suddenly asked curiously.

Sodarn looked at the other party with a complicated expression, "Sell it."

"?"

Qin Xu was stunned for a moment, "I asked how to organize slaves to carry out production activities. High-tech production requires education, and education does not count as slaves. If high-tech production is not carried out, the things produced by slaves are nothing to us. use."

"Have you ever bought a pet?"

Sodaun asked.

Qin Xu was silent for a while, "You mean to sell slaves purely as pets to the market or to private individuals?"

Qin Xu was stunned.

For interstellar civilization, using slaves directly as workers is indeed beyond their means.

However, slaves can be sold to the private sector, and the money earned can be invested in production and projects.

In this way, the cost of managing slaves can be avoided and the value of slaves as commodities can be directly obtained.

The richest people in interstellar civilization have never been the government, but the people.

Since the country cannot make money by directly using slaves for production activities, it can also sell slaves directly to the people, get money from the people, and then put it into the market to promote production.
