George knew this was common, but he needed to maintain a casual and ignorant look to put Mishan at ease.

He was curious to hear what he would say about it.

"My lord, it's not only common, there are also people who buy and sell in private. Although the various lords have ordered to prohibit this transaction, it has not had much effect. Those people call this kind of goods two-legged sheep. But they only buy live ones, dead ones. One is that no one buys it. One is because the quality of the meat is not good for preservation, and the other is because they are afraid that what they buy is zombie meat, even if it is cooked for a day, people will die if they eat it.”

George nodded without speaking.

"My lord, you should have seen it. This is a coal mine." Mi Shan swallowed his throat and said, "Buying and selling coal is much more cost-effective than buying and selling. Not only me, but also the last person who occupied this place never A businessman. According to his words, no matter how useless waste can be thrown into this coal mine, and the last bit of value is squeezed out, this statement betrays the belief of the knights, and I don’t agree with it. But in order to survive, I did follow the The coolies here, after all, we need to exchange coal mines for food, and we always need someone to do some work, but we definitely don’t eat people here.”

"Mishan." George suddenly turned his head, looked him in the eyes, and asked, "How much can one person exchange for now?"

"Two pieces of black bread for one person."

George pursed his lips, but did not say a word.

In his previous impression, the Black Pearl Valley was an extremely rich land, and there was never a shortage of food

0082 Living and Dead

"One person, two pieces of black bread." After pondering for a while, George said with some sighs, "The current field in the Black Pearl Valley is really embarrassing."

Indeed, after his influence, the Black Pearl Valley is an extremely rich land.Even if some free people on the mountain don't go to farm, relying on this mountain, they will not starve to death.But now it is eating people here.

"My lord, I'll tell you the truth. At the very beginning, we still had some wild vegetables to eat, but after all, we would suffer from vomiting and diarrhea if we ate too much wild vegetables. In addition, as the fog got bigger and bigger, many things began to contain some toxins." Unless it is alive. So the bigger the camp, the more problematic the food. Like mine, it’s pretty good.”

George nodded.

He found that his life was too good.

He raised his head, his eyes once again passed through the mist in the village, and looked around again, seeing the real appearance of this world in the midst of disaster for the first time.

It didn't take long for Jack and his group to finally arrive at the village.

There are more than 60 people and forty vehicles.There are quite a few of them, and those heavy draft horses with a shoulder height of two meters and the large carriage behind them are indeed very spectacular.

But unfortunately, although with the pulling power of these horses, one horse is enough to pull a two-ton cart.But there are only so many four-wheeled vehicles in the territory at present, so they can only be brought here.

Besides, if the team is too large, ten people like him and Aji are not easy to manage.

After all, he was going to travel through the fog. If he lost a horse, he would be so distressed that he would die.

To be honest, in this fog, it is not too difficult for the old hunters to find their way home.But if there is no clear map pointing, it is indeed a bit difficult to find this kind of camp.

But Jack, the hunter and catcher, was fortunate enough not only to not lose one person, but also to have a few more people.

These few people were deserters before, and they took the initiative to keep up with the team for a meal.

The stockade is not as big as the shelter, but it has quite a lot of things.In addition to the large amount of coal piled up in the shed, in the warehouse in Mishan, there are also some ironware and ores that he either exchanged or robbed.

What made George even more excited was that the large amount of iron in the coal mine

Chains, picks, shovels, etc., are full of several carts. Although many of them are rusty, they will become good things after remelting them.

There is also some food, although not much, it looks a bit shabby compared to the shelter.But there are a lot of high-quality food. It seems that Mi Shan and his close subordinates are eating well. There are even wine, cheese and red sausage in it.

In addition, this guy also saved a lot of golden lions and silver foxes, which filled a full box

There are also several title deeds.

Aji picked up the small box of gold and silver with his sword. He estimated it with his eyes and said, "Converting it, there are almost 5000 silver foxes. In the past, I could buy a small manor."

After Jack heard this from the side, he couldn't help but glanced at the starving people in this terrible camp.I couldn't help becoming more and more angry.He said with a half-hearted smile, "It seems that Master Mishan usually enjoys it quite a bit. The money can be exchanged for a lot of food."

In recent days, his faith has become more and more pious, and the atmosphere in the territory has made this upright knight less and less able to see others suffer.

"Your Excellency Jack," the fat man said with wide-eyed eyes, "I bought these things, and they are very easy to change, but although they are easy to change, they can't be exchanged for much food. And food, it's not that I have coal mines. I can replace all the superfluous ones, they only give me these things.”

Many nobles are knights, especially in the Holy See, barons and even earls with strong martial arts and pious beliefs are not uncommon to serve as followers of priests.And Jack has a good face, and Mi Shan can't tell the identity of these people now.

"I do have some selfish gold and silver. Everyone likes them. Who knows how much they will be worth in two years, but even if I have no selfish intentions, I can't throw them all on the ground." The living conditions here are already very poor. Now since I came here, although the people here are not full, they are much stronger and better than before. If you don’t believe me, they all have cheese.”

Aji glanced curiously at the moldy and blackened feces in the small basin pointed by the fat man, couldn't help stretching out his head to smell it, then turned his head sideways, and vomited all over the floor.

"The good cheese and gold and silver are the same thing, no matter whether the food is low-quality or high-quality, they are limited." Mi Shan said while grabbing the gold and silver. eat, and feel less hungry without black bread and potatoes."

Jack and the others pursed their lips, not knowing what to say.What Mi Shan meant, they probably understand that there are plenty of things that can be traded here, but they only sell so much.

A small number of good ones are fixed, and most of the bad ones are fixed.After the transaction is in their hands, I am afraid that they themselves do not know what to do. The decision is to give the good food that can only supply a few people to each of the hundreds of poor people.Or just keep it for yourself

George had already guessed so much about the matter, so he didn't ask much, or even listen.

He broke off a piece of good cheese, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it, thinking that it was all aged cheese, and it should be the stock hunger marketing from various ranches in the south.Only in this way can we continue to suck blood from the small survivor camps, squeeze the labor force there, and obtain more resources

"Very good." George patted the dregs on his hands and said.He said in his heart that the territory can finally be exchanged for some more nutritious things. As long as I can see those guys, I have plenty of ways to make them spit out all the good things

The lord suddenly said that this one was very good, which surprised the few guys around who were struggling with how to distribute the food and blamed their own consciences.I don't understand what the lord means, nor can I see his thoughts.

George turned his head, glanced at these guys who seemed to be okay, and drove them away, "Hurry up and go to work, if it gets dark later, we will have to stay here tonight."

These words frightened the lazy men, and they ran away quickly to participate in the labor.

Most of those skinny miners have lung disease, and ten of them are not as good as Jack's one.Therefore, after Alexander and the veterans began to participate in the labor, the efficiency has been accelerated by more than half.

When it was getting dark, the more than 40 carriages were almost fully loaded.

When there were still a few carriages that were not full, Martin ran over and said, "My lord, the forty carriages are almost full, but I can't hold any more, it's getting dark, the mountains are too humid, I'm afraid you Live here and get a rash."

The former owner of the coal mine and Mi Shan had people working for more than half a year, and planned to exchange the coal for supplies.But now it's all cheaper for me. These are not only things that can be used to burn, but also can be used to exchange iron.

George looked at the piles of coal in those sheds, and figured he would have to do it again.Simply let Martin call someone to pack up.

After seeing the lord nod, Martin let out a strange whistle.After the other bandits heard the whistle, they seemed to understand the meaning.It didn't take long for them to organize their staff and prepare to leave.

Martin looked back from the distant crowd, from his lord to the pregnant women who stood motionless.Thoughtful.

Afterwards, he stroked his mustache, lowered his head and leaned closer to George's side, and said, "Boss, do you want to take some with you? Some of them are about to give birth. If you want to take them with you, they all have to take a carriage."

Although Martin is as devout as Jack, his scum-like thoughts may never be influenced by faith.

George has been thinking about the question Martin mentioned.

To be honest, if you want him to answer this question before you come here, you'd just say one word coldly.

These pregnant women are free to eat, and the babies after that are useless burdens

But keep them here, waiting for them, only death

But now, when he saw those numb eyes, he only felt that the weight on his shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, making him unable to breathe.
