Chapter 23 The lazy slave

Li Qi stood outside the horse circle, and the male fierce-maned horse he usually rode fell to the ground with four hooves, thinking about the horse.

The mares fled to the corner of the horse's ring and shivered, as if the wild horse was a terrible monster.

The chef's wine barrel followed his instructions and mixed maltose with flour, plus a little bit of life grass to steam it into a sweet-scented medicine.

The subject of the experiment is naturally the horse in the horse circle.

The Fierce-maned horse is a war horse of excellent breed, tall figure, and as a Dongxia war horse breed carefully cultivated by the grooms, it combines the advantages of a variety of war horses. Its bloodline is very inclusive, very loyal and smart. The pack horses bought by Li Qi spent silver coins and looked very short standing beside him.

But for Li Qi, the excellent bloodline of the strong maned horse is not the most important thing at present, the number of horses is.

The female marshal horse was tied to another place, and it would be responsible for maintaining the bloodline of the marshal horse, and at least the war horses that could sow it.

"The effect of the medicine is still too great. It seems that we need to crush the grass of life into juice, mix two large pots of water before making it."

Even a horse can't stand it, let alone a human being.

After instructing the wine barrel to continue to dilute and make special medicine, and it is absolutely not allowed to be eaten by mistake, Li Qi rode on the martyr's mane horse and left the castle.

The reclaiming of wasteland on the north side should also be nearing its end. The seeds will be sown soon, so that they can use the light plow he arranged to make a blacksmith.

You can see small tents built by slaves from afar.

Some farmers rushed to come and guard the money for Li Qi to pay for a meal of black bread.

The castle's black bread was enough to fill them up and even leave some for their homes.

"grown ups!"

When the farmer saw the lord coming, he immediately ran over to lead the horse.

Li Qi looked around and the slaves were slowly picking up stones on the ground. Even though he knew that the master had not accelerated his speed, some slaves even bent down to pick up a small stone as big as a fist, and then walked to the side.

He frowned: "Why isn't it over yet?"

According to his estimate, today we should see a group of slaves who have finished resting, rather than facing a piece of wasteland that has only dealt with three-fifths of it.

"We have used whips and sticks," the farmer explained. "But these slaves are too lazy. They work slowly every day. When we can't see them, we will be lazy and even hide and sleep. They will only run when they eat black bread. They have wasted your kindness and your black bread."

"Where is Ak?"

The farmer replied, "He is in the tent."

"Let him come out to see me."

The lame man walked out with the help of his eldest son, and the younger son and his younger daughter followed him.

"Ri'an, my master." Ak knelt on the ground, his three children followed.

"You should know why I looked for you." Li Qi sat on the horse and looked down at the lame man kneeling down below. The difference in height was just like the difference in their status at this moment.

"I'm very sorry, my master"

The man lay on the ground: "Most of their bodies have problems and need rest, and..."

"Do you think they should eat my black bread and take a leisurely walk? I'm worried that their daily exercise will not help them digest the black bread in their stomachs."

Li Qi said: "I chose to guide them to play their role. Otherwise, you may be mining in the dark mine cave, or you may face the red-eyed lion in the arena. In short, you will not be like this now, so you don't have to worry about taking a nap in the sun and starving sun."

Ake said: "I, I will get them done as soon as possible."

"Oh" Li Qi sighed. Compared to the slaves who did not understand common language, he had some good feelings for Ak, who was quite educated and knowledgeable, but the other party's management ability disappointed him.

It seems that a new slave manager needs to be replaced.

"It's them that they don't listen to Dad! They say Dad is just a cripple, and there is no need to listen to him." The little girl raised her head and wanted to stare into Li Qi's eyes to express the authenticity she said, but in the end she just stared at the boot with her courage and didn't dare to move her eyes up: "They also said that there are food and drink here, and the farmers dare not beat them to death, because they are your property, so as long as you work every day, you don't care how many noble masters are."

Ak quickly reached out and pressed his daughter's head, stopping her from continuing.

"You all have the good habit of interrupting without authorization. I guess this is the inheritance in your bloodline." Li Qi did not pursue the trouble of a little girl, and he found that the little girl was more straightforward than her father.

It is not easy for a cripple to be a manager. He can guess the pros and cons of Ak in this. Perhaps Ak did not want to offend the slaves, but this would infringe on the interests of Li Qi, the lord, and whether his identity was awkward was not something Li Qi needed to consider. As a lord, he only needed to choose a suitable person to solve the problem. If it could not be solved, change another person.

He asked, "What's your name?"

The girl's eyes were still staring at her boots.

"Okay, Akek" Li Qi nodded: "Can you tell me who said this first?"

"It's the black pig!" She said despite her father's opposition: "The black pig is the most powerful one among slaves, and everyone listens to him."

It turned out that there was a monkey king in the monkey group, no wonder the new monkey king he arranged was not accepted.

"Ak, your daughter is more brave than you," Li Qi said: "I hope you can control these dozens of people well. Although I promised to fill my stomach with bread, it does not mean that I will let others treat me as a fat pig who can coax me at will because I feel sorry for some slaves bought by Yinyue."

"Yes" Ak lay on the ground, his head never dared to lift up. He knew the cold blood of the nobles, and the nobles would show his cold blood next.

"Go and bring the black pig here." Li Qi said.

Black Pig is a slave with a big waist and a round waist. Li Qi guessed that before he became a slave, he should be a mercenary or a strongman... the kind of person who performs comics on stage.

The "master" black pig kneeled on the ground.

Li Qi stared at the black pig for a while and asked, "What do you think of my porcupine collar?"

The black pig replied: "The master is very kind, and he gave us food and accepted us to live here."

Li Qi asked back: "So you repay me in this way? Organize a group of people to work hard, and then eat the bread I provide comfortably? Then treat me as a fool?"

"We all follow Ak's orders." The black pig glanced at the lame man kneeling on the ground and replied, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I thought you would say that Ak was not suitable for leading this group of people, but you were suitable for yourself," said Liqi. "Your courage is not even as good as a little girl, and what you said just now was fooling a nobleman?"

Hearing this, the black pig's expression changed drastically, and he lowered his head: "Master, I..."

Li Qi looked at the lame man: "Ak, among you, if you fool your master or even deliberately occupy the interests of your master, what should you punish me?"

The black pig was already sweating profusely when he heard these words.

Ak also raised his head and said, "Diet!"

Li Qi thought it would be a heavy blow, but when he thought about it carefully, the value of the slave itself was a good body. Disability or serious injury meant that the owner had to offer food, and the money offered was enough to buy another slave.

Or maybe Ak was planning to take this opportunity to establish his prestige for himself.

Only by killing the old monkey king can the new monkey king take power.

But no matter what, he didn't intend to intervene.

"Master, I was wrong! Please forgive me!" The black pig shouted and begged for mercy. He tried to struggle. Several farmers rushed up and pressed him. Ake, who was supported by his son, walked towards the black pig, picked up a big stone, and smacked heavily on the back of the black pig's head.
