Chapter 46 The Slave Riot
The quarry in the west of the city is dedicated to providing stone materials for the construction of Campbell City. In addition to the stone materials used for urban construction, the stone materials used by residents for building houses can also be purchased here.

Because the quarrying work is extremely tiring, it is all slaves who work.

Now, there are more than 200 slaves here.

When Ye Liangchen arrived at the quarry in the west of the city, Jiawen had already surrounded all the slaves.

These slaves each held tools like shovels and bells as weapons, and it was no wonder that they could beat the cavalry led by Jiawen, and each of them was covered in scars.

Seeing these disheveled slaves with panicked but angry faces, Ye Liangchen hurried forward: "Uncle Jiawen, wait a minute!"

"Kane, what's wrong?" Jiawen asked.

"I want to ask these slaves something." Ye Liangchen replied.

"Okay, but don't get too close, I don't want any problems with you." Jiawen warned.

"Okay." Ye Liangchen nodded, and asked the slaves: "I'm Kane, I want to ask why you rioted?"

Those slaves looked at Ye Liangchen, a kid over three years old, and they all looked down with contempt and didn't answer.

"You may think that I am just asking casually." Ye Liangchen was not angry at the slave's contemptuous eyes, and said lightly: "I am not afraid to tell you, I am the young master of the city lord's mansion, and the entire Rislan is our family's territory , and you are all slaves of our family, I just want to know why you rioted, if you really have any difficulties, I may help you solve them, if you continue to violently resist, I think you know the imperial decree."

Ye Liangchen was almost out of breath after speaking so many words in one breath.

When the slaves heard that the little kid in front of them turned out to be the young master of the City Lord's Mansion, and they were willing to listen to their difficulties, although they didn't believe that Ye Liangchen could really help them solve it, a few slaves still hesitated to speak.

"It's Saida, the foreman, who withheld our grain!"

"He also abused us, always finding excuses to beat us!"

"We can only sleep three hours a day, and we have to be driven out to work by him!"

"He also asked us to give him... to him... xx..."

"..." Listening to these slaves' words, Ye Liangchen's head was covered with black lines, and even Jia Wen's face turned green.

"This...you guys be quiet first, I will figure this out." Ye Liangchen turned around dumbfounded: "Who is Saida!"

"Young master...it's the old slave...the old slave is at fault..." A wretched old man threw down his whip and jumped in front of Ye Liangchen.

"Is what they said true?" Ye Liangchen asked, pointing at the slaves.

"Back... back to the young master... yes... it's true..." Saida broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

"Hmph! Although they are slaves, they also have human rights! How dare you abuse them like this and ask them to give you...give you XX!" Although he was very angry, Ye Liangchen was really shocked when he thought of such nonsense. I can't get angry.

"The old slave made a mistake, please punish the young master! The old slave shouldn't let them fuck the old slave..." Saida knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"..." After a long time, the old man turned out to be a shou... Nima, Ye Liangchen couldn't stand it any longer, and waved his hand: "Come on, put Saida in prison for me, and I'll interrogate him later!"

Two soldiers immediately stepped forward and took Saida down.

Seeing that this three-year-old kid actually punished the foreman who abused them, all the slaves were moved and knelt down: "Thank you, young master!"

Looking at these slaves, Ye Liangchen shook his head: "Get up, all of you."

All the slaves looked at me, I looked at you, and finally stood up after someone took the lead.

It seems that slaves really have no status in Waterland Continent.This made Ye Liangchen, who came from the 21st century, a little uncomfortable.

After thinking for a while, Ye Liangchen said: "You are all slaves bought by the City Lord's Mansion. Whether you like it or not, you are already from Lislan and a member of the Galen family."

"In your eyes, you may think that your life has been just slaves like cattle and horses forever, but I want to tell you that as long as you work hard and contribute to the construction of Campbell City and the development of Risland, you will be A real one here."

Ye Liangchen paused, and glanced at these slaves: "I promise you here today, as long as you earn enough gold coins through work, I can make you civilians, and then you can even join the army in Campbell City , if you save enough money, you can even buy a piece of land in Rislan, marry a wife and have children! Your children will no longer be slaves! You can even become nobles one day!"

Ye Liangchen's statement has already overthrown the slavery system in Waterland Continent.No slave has ever been able to get rid of his slave status. Even though some slaves can be appreciated by their masters with their own efforts, and even promoted to substitute guards, they are still slaves after all.

What Ye Liangchen said was lively, the eyes of the slaves lit up, but then dimmed.

The surrounding civilian soldiers, even Jiawen, were also stunned after hearing Ye Liangchen's words.

Ye Liangchen didn't know what was wrong with what he said, even Jiawen looked dumbfounded, and asked aloud: "Uncle Jiawen, is it so difficult to turn slaves into civilians?"

Jiawen shook his head: "No... It's just that there is no such precedent in Waterland Continent. If you are a slave for one day, you will be a slave for life. Even your children will always be slaves."

"Hmph, in my Rislan County, I won't allow such a thing to happen!" Ye Liangchen said firmly to the slaves: "As long as the imperial decree doesn't stipulate that slaves cannot become civilians, then I can let you become civilians. Even if the imperial decree stipulates that slaves cannot become civilians, Rislan is the territory of my Galen family, and I have the right to allow you to enjoy the rights of civilians!"

As soon as Ye Liangchen's words fell, all the slaves became excited.

Although he didn't have much hope for becoming a commoner, as a master, a son of a nobleman, he was able to say these words to them, which made them feel grateful, and each of them burst out with a strong aura.

"Young master! Don't worry! We will definitely work hard!"

"Even if I can't become a commoner, I'm still willing to be a slave of Galen's family for the rest of my life!"

"If anyone dares to make trouble again, I will be the first to disagree!"

The power of faith in the body is increasing rapidly. In a short period of time, these two hundred or so slaves have provided Ye Liangchen with more than 1000 power of faith.

Could it be that these slaves have more power of faith than ordinary civilians can provide?
But yes, although these slaves live in hardship, they are physically strong, much stronger than ordinary civilians. One slave may be able to beat three or five civilians, and it is not surprising that they have more power of faith.

Looking at the rising momentum of these slaves, Jiawen was also secretly startled.

He has never seen such a powerful aura from slaves. If these efforts can enter the army, it will be extremely terrifying combat power.

"Now I declare that from now on, the slaves will have three catties of rations and one catty of meat per day! In addition, the foreman will be selected from among your slaves, and you will jointly select people with high morals and prestige. As for the working hours, you will only work eight hours a day! At the same time, you can also I am in the residential area of ​​Campbell City, and each person chooses two acres of land to build a house!" Ye Liangchen announced loudly when he was happy.

"Wow! Really?"

"It would be great if that's the case!"

"Can we really own our own house?"

"Then I'll choose Zamp as the foreman!"

All the slaves talked about it, but they still didn't believe it.

Jiawen saw that Ye Liangchen had already announced that although these conflicted with the imperial practice, he didn't want to spoil Ye Liangchen's sexuality, so he nodded and said loudly: "I, Jiawen IV, announce here that everything Kane said, I Jarvan IV can promise you to do it!"

Now, all the slaves cheered wildly.

"..." Ye Liangchen curled his lips, why is it also a promise that Jarvan IV can gain their trust? Is it true that a three-year-old child has no status?
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, everyone looked solemn after learning of Ye Liangchen's promise to the slaves.

"Kane, you can't say these things to the slave again, let's forget it this time." Galen said with a sigh.

"Why? Shouldn't it be like this?" Ye Liangchen asked dissatisfied.

"I know you pity them, and I pity them too, but you don't know that in the empire, a slave is a slave. This is an unchangeable fact." Galen said forcefully.

"What slaves are slaves? Are slaves not human beings? Just because they live in poverty and have to sell themselves, or because they were defeated in the war or were robbed, they can only be slaves for life?" Ye Liangchen asked back.

"Kane, you don't understand." Jiawen frowned. "If you are followed by other slaves, what you have done today will have a huge impact on the laws of the entire empire."

"Hmph, the imperial decree? I think it represents the rights of the royal family and nobles?" Ye Liangchen snorted coldly: "People are equal. Although the difference in ability determines the wealth status of different people, the most basic There is no difference in rights, and slaves should also enjoy the rights of being human, not just like cattle and sheep!"

"Kane!" Katerina quickly covered Ye Liangchen's mouth, looked around carefully, and was relieved that there were no outsiders.

"Kane, you don't want to live anymore!" Katerina warned: "You can't just say these words casually, and you can only bury them in your stomach in the future, you know? Such words are a felony of beheading in the empire. Our family has been exiled to Risland, if Audley catches us again, everyone will be implicated!"

Knowing that Katerina was telling the truth, Ye Liangchen sighed and nodded.

Although he is now a three-year-old body, he is a young man from Earth.In history, anything that goes against imperial power and decrees will basically end badly, even if the imperial power and decrees themselves are wrong...

However, he resolutely does not allow the slaves of Galen's family to be treated like cattle and horses!
