Eagle Byzantium
Chapter 11 The Value of Slaves
The emperor's abruptly ended ambitions and ambitions, no matter what they were during his lifetime, were completely inherited by Gawain and his wife after his death.
Two days later, at the entrance to the stables of the palace in Tarsus City, Little Sunfish found Gawain, "Hey, aren't you going to Melitene?"
She was still thinking about revenge against Wen Ruomingna.
Gawain did not look back, but carefully brushed Sabina with the brush, and kept touching the mare's ears, making her feel very comfortable. "The schedule has been disrupted. I have to be here for the military operations in the coming year." Meeting with Cyprus, Maras, Te Envoys from all sides of Labzon. Since defeating the emperor, these people have come to me to beg for peace with Tarsus. It is said that Laodicea and Philadophiam will also send envoys soon. , requesting my mediation.”
"Yes, they are all afraid that you will use troops against them next." The little sunfish was a little unwilling but did not dare to force it. After all, she knew that Gawain was sometimes more indulgent to her than Anna. Whatever she thought, sooner or later, she would Everything will satisfy her, "So that little prostitute from Adigai can continue to stay leisurely in the inner city of Melite to handle paperwork?"
"Why rush?" Gawain then turned around and smiled, "Wen Ruomingna is different from others. She is just a slave. She can't go anywhere except the palace." As he said this, the guarantor put the sun on his forehead. After wiping off the hot sweat and patting Sabina on the back, the mare walked obediently to the shade of the hay shed, where Quicksilver came over in a grand manner.
"What about the gap that the canal doesn't meet? It is said that the original junction in the middle was staggered by a full two hundred feet. This is very serious. It may require re-construction and excavation for a long period of time."
"Originally, I wanted to deal with this matter as soon as possible. But little Sunfish, you are now standing under the umbrella held up by your slave, and someone is passing you delicious pineapple sake. And that group of Crescent Sect armed groups If we start working in this weather, countless people will die of heatstroke, so I plan to wait until Anna gives birth before talking to you. Go and solve this problem. In the meantime, prepare all the measuring tools." Just when Quicksilver came to the master, Gawain threw the brush into the jug at his feet and pulled off the hot leather. Throwing the gloves into the arms of the Turkic military servant next to him, he indicated that he would clean them - Quicksilver immediately made a snorting sound to express his serious dissatisfaction.
The smell of hay exuded from the stable pillars, and Gawain bent his strong neck and washed his hands in the kettle hanging above. He was wearing a short shirt that could barely cover his thick body. In his fierce voice, Water droplets continued to splash on his bronze arms and strong chest. The little sunfish rolled his eyes and turned away, no longer looking at him. "Isn't this nothing special? I remember that you are not a charity person in an orphanage. You are the equivalent of a slave laborer anyway. Do you deserve such sympathy?"
"Yes, I have no useless kindness. Anna and Hertomia now often talk about the need for equal rights between men and women. The former says that she is enough to manage the agriculture, commerce, finance and taxation of a country, and the latter thinks that she is capable enough to compete with her husband Dolu. S. Lambert is equal. And you, little sunfish, always pride yourself on your engineering and mechanical wisdom that surpasses men. But have you ever thought about it..." Gawain walked over as he spoke. Slightly twisting Agnes's round collar embroidered with gold, Agnes shivered in fright, but Gawain quickly let go and said, "Agnes, you are wearing this piece of clothing that you are wearing when you go out." The dress requires twenty of Inglina's best female workers for three full months to weave, and your annual salary is three hundred and fifty gold coins. The annual salary of those female workers, no matter how skilled they are, is Only eight gold coins."
"I rely on my ability..."
"I mean, what will you do when those female workers awaken to their equal rights and know how to ask for an annual salary of three hundred and fifty gold coins? How to maintain your current transcendent status, beautiful and noble Miss Pulani. Now I Give these female textile workers an annual salary of eight gold coins, and they will treat me like a god. Likewise, whether it is a Greek girl or a Arab in Tarsus. The female workers in Digai all regard the Wen Ruomingna you look down upon as a model to follow, because although she was born a slave, she is now the palace sleeping officer, holding the key to Caesar's wardrobe and all the chores, and has an annual salary. With one hundred and twenty gold coins, you can dress as elegantly and noble as all the female officials." Gawain interrupted her words and asked sarcastically.
Agnes curled her lips and said she had nothing to say.
"So, the enslavement of the armed groups that dug the canal is just a temporary measure. I plan to wait until the end of this summer to restore their status. Because slaves are relatively the least sensible way of production."
"Want to hear the details."
"Agnes, if you were a slave, would you work hard for your master?"
"Won't......"
"So Agnes, if you were a slave owner, would you do everything possible to improve the lives of slaves?"
"Not even..."
"So, how can a group that enjoys the minimum living standards and maintains the minimum enthusiasm for work promote the development of production and engineering in Tarsus?"
"Then what is your purpose of constantly buying all kinds of slaves from Nubia and Adige, as well as Bohemia and Dalmatia?"
"It's very simple. Just like Armenia and the Crescent Armed Group, it is considered to be a step-by-step human resource reserve, and the principle is similar to gold. Take the Adyge people for example. They can get five to six gold coins a year in Ingrina's workshop, which is two to three times better than their original life. In addition, they are Christians, so I don't need to take any compulsory measures at all. I can make them willingly board the ship and come to my country. After they master skilled techniques and have more needs, I will slowly satisfy them. Isn't this good?"
"What a greedy and treacherous Varangian brown bear!" Agnes scolded with her tongue sticking out, and then turned away.
After nightfall, Gawain met the respectful Cypriot envoy in the palace-because it was only a short sea route from here, so the envoy of Apsomatus ran faster than anyone else.
A correct version can be found in the 16-9 book forum!
"I think that the previous sneak attack by your governor-general is equivalent to a complete war. My husband, leave three brigades in the country immediately, and then two brigades go to the island to fight you to the end." Behind the curtain of the palace, Anna sat there upright, holding the golden staff of wheat ears, furious.
The messenger immediately raised his buttocks and stretched out his hands in a completely begging posture, but still held a fluke, "But with the military strength of your two brigades, it is unlikely to completely defeat us. What's more, our governor has secretly signed a mutual assistance treaty with His Royal Highness Tancred, the regent of Antioch. In this way, once the war breaks out, your castle on the coast of Tripoli will no longer be peaceful."
"How terrible, I didn't expect Apsomatus to sign a peace treaty with Tancred in a blink of an eye. It is natural for a thief to go to a robber." Gawain, who was sitting next to him, said sarcastically.
