Outside the living room of the council meeting in Tielu Village, there were torches. Many slaves from the village stood outside, and they were skinny and trembling in the night wind, but they were looking at Zhou Qingfeng and others who were walking out with hope.

There are many foreign bankrupts in the Black Forest. Some stay in Kurozo Village to fend for themselves, while others sell themselves to the leaders of various settlements and become slaves who have lost their personal freedom.

The harmonious village was built, and all the adventurers and civilians with freedom rushed over. Many of the remaining slaves were forcibly controlled by the leaders of various families and could not leave. The lives and deaths of these people were not paid attention to at all. They just died early and late.

Zhou Qingfeng always felt that there was a mine in Tielu Village, and his iron smelting furnace should not be short of iron ore. However, what was the most unlikely event happened just so. Fei Zhe would rather not make money than sell more ore.

This is unacceptable for the Harmonious Village that wants to develop rapidly. Moreover, Fei Zhe has the handle to Zhou Qingfeng, so he naturally has to deal with him as soon as possible and control the mine in his own hands.

"Victor, do you want to confiscate Feizhe's family territory?" Inisa followed behind Zhou Qingfeng and whispered to remind. She agreed to clean up Feizhe, but she always felt that her man had to do more than that.

Zhou Qingfeng sneered in a low voice: "I have had enough of those small forces that only consider themselves and completely ignore the overall situation. In the future, under my rule, I will not enfeoff any territory. Those who are loyal to me will only receive salary."

This is a big step.

Even Inisa couldn't accept this, so she wanted to hold Zhou Qingfeng and persuade him to take back this idea. However, Zhou Qingfeng said more directly: "I announce that slavery is prohibited in my ruling area.

All slaves restore their free citizenship and can freely migrate and choose their own jobs. I will promulgate laws to protect basic life power and not allow any acts of slavery."

Is slavery an inefficient production method completely hindering social development? If the big slave owner controls too much population, who else can I recruit to work in my factory?

In a civilized society, at least we need to talk about human rights.

When Inisa heard this, she was even more shocked. She had already grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's hand and lowered her voice and said anxiously: "Forbidden to acquire slaves will offend many people, which is even more excessive than the prohibition of feudal system."

However, Zhou Qingfeng had already spoken, and the slaves who heard his declaration were confused at first, but soon made noisy shouts. In a short while, the shouts turned into neat sounds of Victor. Long live Hugo, long live, long live!

The slaves almost used all their strength to shout. They had long hoped that they could leave the mines of Tielu Village and live a good life in Harmony Village. Zhou Qingfeng's move was completely freeing the heaviest shackles on them.

Of course, if Tielu Village lives better than Harmonious Village, the slaves definitely did not think this way. Now they are naturally full of joy and cheer.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't consider Inesa's warning. But if some basic policy issues are not solved before their own forces are truly strengthened, more vested interests will stand up and oppose them when they become stronger, and there will be even more no way to solve them. It is better to make clear your position now.

The cheers fluctuated back and forth, and the entire Tielu Village was filled with a pleasant atmosphere.

Only then did Inisa understand what Zhou Qingfeng was going to do. This kid was obviously trying to retain power and did not allow any independent power under her rule. Everyone must rely on him. This is equivalent to determining the form of the political system.

Taking advantage of the cheers of the slaves, Zhou Qingfeng even asked someone to open the warehouse in Tielu Village and divide the clothes and grain first. He also brought Bruno, the gray dwarf foreman from the forging site, and ordered him to take charge of the mine.

"Can the elves' mining machinery be used?" Zhou Qingfeng's most concerned is whether it can significantly improve mining efficiency, otherwise his actions to liberate slaves will be meaningless.

Tielu Village has a complete set of mining equipment left by the elves when they retreated. The huge windmills provide power, laying tracks, setting up winches, and using large mine trucks to transport ore. There are even special mining machines in the mine cave. The only flaw is

"The elves' days are so exquisite. Their mining machines are actually driven by magic. I don't understand magic and arcane."

After being inspired by Zhou Qingfeng, the gray dwarf also felt that his ideal of only wanting to swing a hammer in the past was too low-level. But now it is really a bit difficult to make him play with the mining machine left by the elves.

Zhou Qingfeng was about to frown when the gray dwarf said: "But I can change those mining machines to animal power drives, which should be used, but the efficiency will be much lower."

“How much lower?”

"Maybe only one tenth of the efficiency of a magic miner."

"So low? Compared to human resources?"

"It is naturally at least ten times higher than human power, or even dozens of times. Those mining rotary knives are as powerful as wind-powered hammers. The things made by elves are still interesting."

The gray dwarf was dancing and trying to explain what a rotary knife was, but Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes and patted his head, and said in a deep voice: "Bruno, next time you speak, you will say the right thing. Otherwise, I will be angry to death by you."

Not to mention increasing the mining efficiency by ten times, Zhou Qingfeng is currently very satisfied. After all, the entire Northland is so poor that the market is so large that it can meet the demand even if it is backward in productivity.

Bruno also wanted to explain the wonderful invention of the elves, but Zhou Qingfeng ordered seriously: "I will deprive other human settlement leaders of the territory and liberate more people. Computer terminal::/

The original slaves would become free people, and I would send some people to mine. At the same time, I would ask Rubio to come and help you, sign employment contracts for all miners, so that they can eat and drink enough to have room for improvement, and can mining happily."

Zhou Qingfeng's words sounded a bit complicated, but Bruno understood in seconds, "Your Excellency, I understand what you mean. Back then, I was a slave under the dark elves, and I knew very well how sad it was to live in fear.

Dark elves are all masters who play with people's hearts. I have learned a lot from them and know how to make those miners work hard without being lazy. You are just more kind, so I don't need to use those cruel methods."

Bruno patted his chest and promised it. Zhou Qingfeng felt that he might have hired a gray dwarf who was good at managing to escape from the hands of the dark elves to the ground, at least not a fool.

With limited food and limited population, Zhou Qingfeng can only take the elite route. This requires enough iron ore and enough steel. With enough steel, the small forces controlled by Zhou Qingfeng will become more resilient.
