Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 235 The nobles and the king share the world.

So suicide or something like that will definitely turn into a situation worse than death.

Esdeath is not stupid, why would she ask for trouble?

"Boss, Esdeath has signed it." Delta immediately replied to Li De.

As soon as Delta finished speaking, the slave contract in Miyano Akemi's hand disappeared.

The next second, Esdeath had a clear sense and knew who her master was.

"Very good, as for the issue of foreign captives, I don't agree with killing them in a pit." Li De immediately said.

"Master, I don't know what you mean?" Esdeath came over and asked.

"Esdeath, you pick out the stubborn elements among the captives, no matter how many there are, and give them to Mingmei, who will execute them. Mingmei, you deal with these people yourself, I have only one request, use them to heal the wounded soldiers of the empire.

If they can survive after sacrificing their health, then take them away together, if they can't survive, that's their life. Do you have any problem with this?" Li De asked Miyano Mingmei.

"No, Master!" Li De has spoken personally, how can Miyano Mingmei refuse.

"Very good, as for the others, take them all back to the empire, Delta, remember to destroy the gathering place of foreign ethnic groups." Li De continued.

"Master, bringing more than 300,000 people across the border into the empire will put a lot of pressure on materials." Esdeath spoke from a military perspective.

As for whether more than 300,000 captives will riot, Esdeath is not worried.

It's better to say that she is hoping that someone will make a fuss at this moment, so that she can reduce some of the burden.

"It doesn't matter. Just give these captives the minimum survival guarantee while ensuring that the army has sufficient supplies. Then tell my soldiers that these people are their rewards. I will contact the managers of the three border cities to hold an unprecedented job fair.

The job-seeking groups will pay a certain amount of introduction fee to the army for each captive, and half of the total amount of these introduction fees will be distributed to the soldiers who have made expeditions for the empire as my reward to these soldiers.

The remaining half will be left in these three cities. I think with such a huge amount of money, these three border cities should work hard to ensure your material transportation. Esdeath, what do you think of this arrangement?" Li De asked across the communicator.

"Master is wise. I didn't expect these people to be sold, thus creating additional wealth for the soldiers." Esdeath replied respectfully.

"Don't praise me like this. If it weren't for the purpose of avoiding my people from being destroyed by those idiots as much as possible, I wouldn't have thought of letting these people replace them, so don't set the price too high." Li De reminded.

"Respect the master's order!" Esdeath replied immediately.

"Remember to call His Majesty in front of others!" Li De reminded.

"Got it, master!" Esdeath replied immediately.

"Then can this arrangement make you feel at ease? Mingmei!" Li De asked Miyano Mingmei immediately.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, master." Miyano Mingmei replied immediately.

Although Miyano Mingmei knew very well that this so-called job introduction was actually a slave auction, compared to Esdeath's direct killing of everyone here, this was indeed more acceptable to her.

Of course, Miyano Mingmei also knew that for these people, the alien races who became slaves would most likely live a life worse than death in the future. After all, she was no stranger to the dark side of the imperial capital.

Not to mention the faraway, there was a separate torture area in the prison of the Jade Palace before, which was specifically used to judge those who opposed Minister Ernest.

After taking a look, Miyano Mingmei vomited directly even though she had seen a lot of blood with Miyano Shiho.

For her and even some of the women in Li De's harem team, it was simply a purgatory on earth.

Combined with some of her experiences with the imperial nobles, Miyano Akemi knew very well how corrupt the imperial nobles were at present.

Those who could pay to buy slaves must be wealthy merchants or nobles directly.

Therefore, Miyano Akemi knew what would happen to these slaves of different ethnic groups once they fell into the hands of the powerful who did not treat people as human beings at all.

Perhaps for people of different ethnic groups, it might be happier to be buried alive now, at least they would not have to face all kinds of torture methods, so she was still a little entangled after listening to Li De's arrangement.

It's just that they all spoke up and Li De also gave a solution. Not to mention her, even Miyano Shiho had no right to raise objections.

You know, Miyano Shiho was right next to Li De at the moment, didn't she say a word?

In fact, in the final analysis, prisoners of different ethnic groups have no so-called human rights.

No matter how hard it is, it is better to have a glimmer of hope to live than to die now, after all, there is always a chance to live.

Even if only a few lucky ones managed to survive, at least there are many survivors left.

This is where Akemi Miyano can comfort herself. After all, in her opinion, if she doesn't fight, then everyone will die.

She fought as hard as she could, and no matter what the result was, Akemi Miyano could accept it.

Who told them to be the enemy of the empire and lose the war?

If they are not strong, why jump so happily? Who can blame them for succeeding in their own death?

"Later, I will ask Xiaolan and Qingzi to come over to exercise their character." Li De added immediately.

After all, Akemi Miyano's request made Li De realize that some people in his team were too gentle.

It's not that this is bad, but Li De doesn't want to see them being so gentle to everyone.

It's natural to be gentle to your own people, but you have to be ruthless to your enemies when you need to be.

If you don't correct this somewhat saintly thinking now, it will be troublesome when you really encounter something later.

As for not mentioning Alexia, it's because Li De knows that Alexia doesn't have the modern human rights thinking of Akemi Miyano, Ran Maori and Aoko Nakamori.

Hearing Li De's arrangement, Akemi Miyano couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At this moment, she had already anticipated how resentful Xiaolan and Aoko would look at her later.

And Li De's words directly made the administrative agencies of the entire empire run frantically.

Accompanied by three decrees flying from the imperial capital to the northern border.

The dignitaries who received the decrees didn't even care about the drastic changes in the imperial capital.

All they had in their eyes were the more than 100,000 slaves that were about to come.

Oh, no, it's the practitioners who are about to get a job. This is an unprecedented feast!

Or our Majesty knows his own people. He knows that the spiritual life of the powerful is poor and needs some people to engage in related refreshing work.     If these jobs are not for certain safety hazards, it would not be the turn of these foreign natives.

Speaking of which, why didn't the idiot Ernest think of this before?

Otherwise, when Esdeath suppressed the riots of foreign ethnic groups in the south, these people would have been able to harvest a group of high-quality practitioners.

The pattern is not open, only knows how to enjoy yourself, is not sensible at all, and is still a minister. No wonder he was cleaned up by the little emperor. He deserves it.

Look at His Majesty the Emperor, who knows how to take care of the mental health of his ministers.

As for the fact that His Majesty the Emperor abolished some decrees that benefited the powerful.

Although it is also a bit unsatisfactory, His Majesty did not target the powerful class, but Ernest.

After all, those decrees were made when Ernest was covering the sky with one hand before.

Now that the young emperor has turned over, it is completely understandable that he wants to wash away some of the stains of being a puppet.

We must also support it, after all, the face of the royal family is more important than anything else.

Fortunately, the decree is still being abolished, and the compensation for His Majesty the Young Emperor has arrived.

This is very good, after all, the empire is a world shared by the nobles and the king, and it is impossible for this emperor to last long.

Since the new successor is sensible, the empire can be stable.

Oh, now is not the time to consider it, it is better to think about how to get a group of high-quality practitioners first, after all, there are too many people eyeing this group of foreign captives.

There is a possibility that there may not be enough to share even if there are so many people. You must know that this is the first time that the royal family has spoken in person. It is rare to be able to spend it openly once. If you don’t spend it well, you will really feel sorry for yourself. Isn’t it for this time that you work hard to make money?

By the way, why should the army take half of the introduction fee this time? Isn’t fighting the job of those mud legs? What qualifications do they have to share the money!

Do you know how much the introduction fee is this time?

Half of it can be nine or even ten figures, aren't tens of thousands of people afraid of being stuffed to death by such a huge introduction fee?

Although they complained and waited, basically no nobles dared to question Li De's orders, let alone attack Esdeath.

After all, she quickly wiped out the northern ethnic groups this time, which scared too many people.

You know, when the troops were sent out, everyone thought that it would take Esdeath at least a year to suppress these northern ethnic groups.

As a result, it took only a few months, and the northern ethnic groups were wiped out.

You know, in these few months, most of the army's time was wasted on the march.

In other words, after Esdeath arrived in the north, it almost crushed the way through in a crushing manner.

The powerful still have some understanding of the combat effectiveness of the imperial army.

This is why these people made a judgment of at least one year.

And everyone naturally knows how the time saved came from.

If you want to embezzle the reward of such a general who can defeat ten thousand enemies, you have to see if you are smart enough.

Not to mention, Esdeath's preferences are already chilling.

And there are rumors that the young emperor is very satisfied with Esdeath and has planned to grant her the position of general.

Such a person, regardless of personal strength or future status, makes people dare not offend easily for a little money.

You must know that she is not alone. If you take her money, maybe everything in your house will be looted by bandits or revolutionary army that suddenly appear, and finally cut off your head and kick it far away when you leave.

The current internal environment of the empire is indeed not good. It is not surprising that any outrageous things happen, right?

Before the Northland Feast began, Najeshitan led the night attack team to break the base of the revolutionary army, beheaded all the high-ranking members of the revolutionary army, and the news of the destruction of the revolutionary army spread throughout the empire.

Li De also used this as an excuse to not only vindicate Najeshitan, but also promoted her to the leader of the Royal Guards, to guard the Jade Palace together with Fubuki.

As for Tornado, she is now following Brand, the commander of the Sin Army, and is slowly moving from the south to the western border.

Tornado has to follow, because without Tornado's powerful force, Brand and Tatsumi alone cannot suppress the revolutionary soldiers.

As for Mao Lilan, she had been called back by Li De and sent to accompany Miyano Akemi and Nakamori Aoko.

When the criminal army led by Brand moved towards the western border, Li De received urgent letters from the city management dignitaries along the route.

The meaning is that this group of criminals does not need to spend time, effort and materials to move from the southern border to the western border.

There is more than one way to atone for sins, and it can be replaced by taking dangerous jobs.

"These rubbish are really greedy. More than 300,000 foreign nationalities can't fill their desires, and they actually set their eyes on the 100,000 revolutionary army. If it weren't for me, the empire would be overthrown sooner or later." Li De said to Claire and other women in his office hall with dissatisfaction while holding the urgent letter.

"Your Majesty, you have opened the door to desire and legalized some things that are not allowed to see the light of day. It's not surprising that these people have such a reaction." Alexia was the first to speak.

"It doesn't matter whether it's strange or not. What's important is that they don't know the rules." Beta immediately said to Alexia.

"That's right, they can only ask for what your Majesty gives them. If you don't give them, they can't even ask." Ipsilon on the side also said.

"After that, when there are enough people, we will start with the dignitaries of the cities along the south to the west. Since they can't wait to consume, they must have no shortage of money, which is just right to support the construction of the empire.

Your Majesty has made such a big concession for their desires, and these nobles should also respond. I think the selfless concept of sacrificing one's own family for the sake of everyone is good, and it deserves the honorary status of the nobles." Gamma smiled faintly.

"This is good. Let's see if Esdeath can lead the team at that time. I believe the result will be satisfactory." Claire smiled and said.

"Esdeath is good. With her interrogation skills, no one can hide the money." Fubuki clapped her hands.

"Zeta, how is the progress of the task assigned by His Majesty?" Alpha, who had not spoken, asked Zeta.

"Except for the people who have been arranged, the remaining personnel have been sent out for conscription and are on their way to the imperial capital." Zeta said after looking at Alpha.

"Zeta, what is the current situation of the contract?" Li De suddenly asked.

Because except for Esdeath, Li De's remaining 30 points have all been exchanged for slave contracts. One was given to Fubuki who planned to contract Hill, and the remaining two were given to Zeta.
