My name is Ren

Chapter 103 It’s not scary to bow your head, what’s scary is that you forget the scenery when you look up after bowing your head
For several days in a row, the laboratory in the back garden was finally completed in Ren's anticipation. He was looking forward to the technology brought by Yang Kai, and believed that these technologies would make his career flourish.

Yang Kai is in good spirits. If you don't consider the damp and dark environment of the dungeon, living here is much more comfortable than his home in Ilwolf.Three meals a day are delivered on time, with wine and meat, and they are all carefully cooked by real chefs.There is nothing to be picky about the drinks. The servants in the city lord's mansion all drink wine that costs a hundred copper coins a pot, which is far from being comparable to a copper coin and a glass of sour water.

Of course, it would be even better if there was another woman.

After dinner, I picked up a piece of dry grass from the ground, tore it in half, stuffed the thinner and sharper end into my mouth, picked it back and forth along the gap between my teeth, turned my mouth twice from time to time, and spit out a piece of stuffed grass. Gum crumbs.He looked at the dark dungeon without showing any hatred or other negative emotions that he should have.He is very smart, knowing that Renn will capture him, he will not kill him easily, but will use him.After figuring this out, Yang Kai was completely relieved, at least he would not worry about his future.

I don't know what time it is, and Yang Kai is slightly sleepy, lying on the mat made of withered grass, with his hands behind his head.The clothes that hadn't been washed for more than ten days exuded a strong smell, a kind of old oily smell from a man's body, which kept drilling into his nose.

Inexplicably, Yang Kai thought of what happened in another world in the past, and just as he couldn't help sighing, the door of the dungeon was pushed open.

Fresh air rushed in through the open door, dispelling the rotten smell, making Yang Kai feel as if he had experienced a baptism, and his body was three points lighter.He got up from the ground, greedily breathing in the fresh air, the little drowsiness had disappeared, and his mind was vigilant.

Ren raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose lightly, and the topaz cuffs on his cuffs were tightly attached to the crimson cuffs, dazzling and extraordinarily dignified.Although the two copper rings on his fingers were ordinary in texture, the engraved patterns on the rings were extraordinarily extraordinary, full of mystery.The sharp eyes seemed to light up the whole dungeon for a moment. He approached the cage, glanced at Yang Kai, who was covered in stains all over the cage, and frowned, "It's too dirty, give him a wash, change it. A suit of clothes."

Yang Kai was dragged out of the cage by two tall and strong servants like an animal, and drove out.As the steps continued to rise, the light became brighter and brighter. The dazzling light made Yang Kai squint his eyes, and he raised his hand to slightly cover Guangyuan.The moment he crossed the dungeon gate and left the dungeon, the sun shone on his body and his face. The warm feeling, like soaking in hot water, made him feel as if he had passed away, and he was in a trance for a while.

When he came to his senses, he had already been thrown to the well outside the dungeon. The strong servant girl tore off his sour clothes, and another person poured a large bucket of warm well water. poured over.At the moment when he was splashed and drenched by well water, Yang Kai had the illusion of suffocation when he was drowning. He took a breath and took two steps back. This was just a subconscious move.But the maids don't think so, they are surrounded by the city lord, they don't want to be too rough, these peasant women have no other skills, except that they are strong and strong, and they all have strength.

One of them grabbed Yang Kai's hair and pulled him back abruptly. Yang Kai had a painful expression on his face, but he remained silent.He looked at the two servants beside him, engraving their appearance firmly in his memory.Those palpitating gazes with a little hatred angered these uneducated servants. They didn't know what it means for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but they only knew that revenge cannot be spent overnight.

He raised the brush he brought from the stable to bathe the horse, and rubbed it against Yang Kai for a while.This kind of brush is made of the thickest pig bristles trimmed and tied together. The horse may feel comfortable, but it is like a steel knife when brushing on a person with delicate skin and tender flesh.Only two or three strokes.Yang Kai couldn't help crying out in pain, there were red marks all over his body, and each red mark had red dots dripping with blood. This is not bathing, it is clearly torture.

The sharp cry didn't win him much sympathy. Ren remained silent, like a transparent person, and the servant woman knew it immediately. The two pinched Yang Kai so that he couldn't even struggle.

The wailing lasted for 10 to [-] minutes. Layers of white and gray dead skin were densely covered on the ground. Yang Kai's whole body was like a shrimp just taken out of a steamer, completely red.

A soft, dry and fragrant robe was put on Yang Kai's body. Yang Kai's slightly red eyes slowly closed, and when he was pushed, he opened his eyes with only obedience.His higher education made him understand that in the resistance against the ruler, if he can't grasp the partial initiative, then it is best to remain obedient and silent.

Ren watched the whole process from the sidelines. The more obedient Yang Kai was, the higher his level of alertness towards Yang Kai would be.

A group of people walked through the back garden and came to the edge of a four-story tower. The bottom of the tower is thin and the top is thick. There are no windows on the first, second, and third floors, and only the fourth floor has a window with iron bars.The tower covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, without any exquisite decoration, everything looks so simple, forming a strong contrast with the style of other buildings in the City Lord's Mansion.

"From today onwards, you will live here. I will provide everything you need, and you need to give me what I want." Ren looked very kind, walked to Yang Kai and even tidied it up for him. He touched the opened neckline, and his movements were very gentle, "I am a very talkative person. As long as you meet my requirements, I will also meet your requirements within a certain limit. But I am also a not so easy-to-talk person. If you can't please me."

He smiled slightly, patted Yang Kai on the shoulder, and walked towards the huge stone table beside him.The closed tower is not dark. The one-foot-square solidified lighting magic array substrate on the ceiling is constantly radiating light under the action of the Tiberium spar, illuminating every place on this floor. The flame in the fireplace Let the temperature here be pleasant.Ren pointed to a pile of materials on the stone table, "The first step, I need soap, not necessarily much better than the ones bought in supermarkets, there are only two requirements, delicate and smooth, and long-lasting fragrance."

"You have a month to do this well. I know you have a lot of ideas, and I don't have any opinions on them, but you have to prove your worth first." Ren turned around, Looking directly at Yang Kai, "People who are worthless are not worthy of breathing free air, including you and me."

"Good job, I'm looking forward to your performance." Ren smiled and pushed the door out.The heavy steel door closed slowly, followed by the sound of the bolt being sheathed.

The expression on Yang Kai's face gradually changed from anger to ferocity, his facial features were distorted, and his clenched fists trembled slightly.He kicked hard on the stone wall, and the reaction almost knocked him over.His emotions came quickly, but also quickly, his face gradually calmed down, and there was no hatred in his eyes.Glancing at the barrels of materials on the stone table, he sighed helplessly.

People, when it's time to admit their fate, they must accept their fate.It is not a terrible thing to bow your head. What is terrible is that you forget the scenery when you look up after bowing your head.

During the violent war of suppression in Balatan, Ortrenburg ushered in the first slave auction.

Completely different from the usual simple slave market, Rennes required the venue to be beautiful, practical, clean, and tidy, and not out of class like the previous farmers' market.Every slave must wear a collar, and there is a dog tag on the collar. The dog tag records the slave's life number, physical data and some specialties.For example, things that can lift heavy, and can run multiple pieces, so that major slave owners and distributors can make selective purchases, instead of blindly buying a batch and leaving some useful ones, killing other useless ones .

When the buyer has decided, all he has to do is pull a small card with the same number on their dog tag from the leather pocket on the slave's belt.The other part of the venue is like a trading card hanging in an exchange. In the column behind each number representing a specific slave is the highest price that is constantly refurbished.If you like a slave, you can find the trading card where the slave is located, and then quote your price to the trader. When the trading time is over, the person with the highest bid will get the ownership of the slave.

The trading time of each round of slaves is two hours, and after two hours, another batch will be replaced, each batch of 300 people, to ensure that every slave owner and distributor can see all the slaves as much as possible.

On the first day of the trade fair, Ortrenburg ushered in a peak flow of people, and Wren's franchise system made the demand for slaves in the entire Bell region soar after the beginning of spring.Some small groups will definitely have the behavior of secretly capturing slaves, which cannot be completely eliminated, but large-scale slave capturing will still not occur.This forced many slave owners and dealers who had an urgent need for slaves to rush to Ortrenburg for auction.

What shocked them most was the trading method designed by Rennes, which can be said to maximize the value of slaves and earn several times or even more profits than before.This part of the loss will not fall on the heads of the slave owners and dealers in the end. They will also pass the loss on to the next owner, until it is transferred to the final customer.

But I have to say that doing this is really attractive, and even some local ordinary people in Ortrenburg ran in to join in the fun.

On the first day of the trade fair, an astonishing record was set that all exhibiting slaves were sold out.You must know that if you captured a hundred slaves in the past, you could sell seventy of them, thank God. No one imagined that such a day would come true!
With the continuous expansion of the scale and amount of slave transactions, Ortrenburg finally ushered in his first income after Baron Wren took office.

Whether it was Ren himself, Richard, or anyone else who was concerned with Ortrenburg, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
