058.
In the sugar cane plantation, a middle-aged man with auburn hair and a big belly was walking leisurely on the field, inspecting the sugar cane field. If a slave happened to walk by him, he might wave his hand if he had nothing to do. He whipped the whip on the slave.
A whipped slave cannot scream, otherwise it will lead to more whippings.
Therefore, in order to avoid being beaten, it is best to avoid walking around these people.
But this cannot completely avoid the whip. Even if you are working, the whip may suddenly swing at you - don't doubt that you did something wrong, maybe you were just distracted, maybe the pus from the wound today was exposed and it was an eyesore. Maybe the supervisor is in a bad mood, or maybe the bit is not worn properly, which makes the supervisor think you have secretly nibbled the sugar cane.
A bit is a kind of taming tool that is put in the mouth. It was used to tame animals such as donkeys and horses in the past to prevent the animals from biting people or stealing things they shouldn't eat (note ①). Later, this red-brown man managed the sugar cane plantation. 'Innovative' use of this on slaves not only prevents filthy slaves from biting people when they resist and bring viruses to them, but also prevents slaves from eating when the sugar cane is mature, reducing sugar cane production this season. .
As soon as this method came out, it was immediately appreciated by the plantation owners, and it soon became popular in other plantations. For this reason, the auburn-haired man was very proud of it. Regardless of whether it was the sugar cane harvest season, these slaves usually wore it. The bite cannot be taken off unless eating. Otherwise, if anyone takes it off and lets him see it, he will be severely whipped.
It is precisely because of this man's strict management that the output of his sugar cane plantation is the best in nearby sugar cane fields, ranking first every year. For this reason, those slaves who died of infected wounds due to excessive whipping, the manor owner's The master just turned a blind eye, anyway, now the new Slaves in the mainland are not valuable. There is a real shortage. Take guns and go to other tribes that have not yet been developed. Naturally, there will be more. However, the sugar cane grown can be made into sweet cane sugar, which is sold at high prices around the world. The price is so high, why care too much about the wasted slaves.
In this way, the auburn-haired man no longer has any scruples in his actions. As long as he can produce enough sugar cane every year, it doesn't matter whether the slaves are good or bad? He wished that the slaves could work 24 hours a day, take good care of the sugar cane fields, and produce more sugar cane!
Therefore, whenever he sees a lazy slave, the auburn-haired man will definitely swing his whip, which has been dyed red by countless streaks of blood, to let those lowly slaves know his anger and know what to do and what not to do. What!
Fortunately, during today's patrol, the auburn-haired man did not see anyone slacking off. Everyone was working hard, including the cubs born by slaves, who also worked hard with chews. This made the auburn-haired man very satisfied. However, These slaves are He is a lowly and brainless person, and if he is not beaten for a long time, he will become lazy again, so the auburn-haired man walked a little further, preparing to find a slave he didn't like and whip him. , so as to teach other slaves to always remember to be diligent.
This unlucky guy is an 'old' slave named Xi. He was captured and brought to the plantation when he was eighteen years old. He has worked here for ten years. When he was first captured, he was quite unruly, but later he learned to behave and became He was very honest. When the auburn-haired man whipped him, he let out a soft sigh and pursed his lips tightly. He knelt down as a reflex and kowtowed to the auburn-haired man for mercy.
According to his experience, as long as he makes such an action and does not resist or cry, the red river-haired man will not be whipped too many times.
However, today's auburn-haired man didn't seem to intend to spare him lightly, because he suddenly remembered that Xi was too old and should be eliminated. Otherwise, it would not be a waste to do so much work and eat so much. ?
So the auburn-haired man hit Xi very hard, once or twice, beating Xi's head to pieces. Xi finally realized something and was so scared that she cried out in pain. She spoke the auburn-haired man's language with a bad accent, begging him to let go. Live your life, he will still work, he can still work, don't beat him to death.
It's a pity that the auburn-haired man thought his accent was unpleasant and his crying was unpleasant, so he was still very harsh.
Xi was desperate. He held his head and huddled up, as if this would prevent the whip from falling on him. After being a slave for many years, he had forgotten that he could avoid the whip by running away. He cried miserably and had foreseen it. Regarding his own death, he just didn't understand why he was so obedient, worked so hard, and didn't dare to be lazy at all, why he still had to be beaten to death...
He...he doesn't want to die!
Who can save him?
Xi's anxious eyes roamed over his companions, as if looking for hope of survival.
However, he was going to be disappointed. Those who met his gaze were either indifferent and numb, or had red eyes and looked away, or were trembling with fear... Just like Xi looked at the auburn-haired man whipping his companion. , just watching, no one dared to step forward to save him.
"Ahhh!" Xi let out a desperate howl. At this moment, before death was about to come, something seemed to be burning and burning in Xi's heart. This feeling was so strong that he seemed to forget that the whip fell on him. of pain.
Why, why was he treated like this and died? !
Xi is unwilling to give in, Xi does not want to die!
"Bang!"
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded, and the man who was wielding the whip wantonly screamed, and the whip fell to the ground.
Xi looked up and saw a cold, strange big bird that he had never seen before.
The big bird saved his life.

"Phew, it's finally done."
After half a month, the player has finally completed half of the task of liberating the colonization of the New World. Among the many factors such as players being crushed by various weapons, fearless spirit, advanced combat concepts, etc. - the most important thing is the weapon factor. Each of those plantations is counted one by one, and they are all handed over to the player, and in the last one After the plantation was defeated, the progress bar of Xia Ji's special task, the task of liberating the colonization of the New World, suddenly reached half of its value.
The other half, however, remained silent.
Players speculate that this is because although the plantation was defeated, the subsequent problems have not been solved, so the progress bar is only half full.
The so-called follow-up troubles mainly refer to two aspects.
On the one hand, the plantations in the New World all belong to nobles from various powerful countries in the world, and those nobles can influence national policies. When players free slaves, they are equivalent to killing the hens that laid golden eggs. You can imagine how angry those countries will be when the news spreads back.
However, modern transportation is underdeveloped and there are no communication tools. When the players were fully liberated, they blocked all the ports in the New World, and the fleets not far away were also under unified control. They had to wait until the news was spread back to all parts of the world. , I am afraid it will be a long time, which is enough time for players to perform many operations, such as continuing to produce weapons and stocking up and training troops for possible future wars.
On the other hand, although the players have liberated all the slaves in the New World, most of the slaves working in various plantations have been domesticated. Except for those who were just captured and a very few who have a spirit of resistance, the vast majority of slaves , after being liberated by players, they no longer need to be flogged for no reason, hurt wantonly, and work endlessly. At the same time, they cannot avoid being confused about the future. After being domesticated, they no longer know how to return except working on plantations. to the tribal life of old.
Moreover, if they return to the tribal life like before, they may not be able to survive, because these people basically have large and small injuries on their bodies, and one or two are skinny. The kind of thinness that players have not seen in the manor. The skinnyness of local indigenous people is the skinnyness caused by extreme labor and long-term malnutrition. This kind of skinnyness cannot support them in carrying out tribal life as before.
Therefore, if the players just let go, these liberated slaves will probably not escape death, and their liberation will become a joke.
Therefore, players estimate that the mission of liberating the New World colonies will be truly completed only after these two aspects of the problem are dealt with.
Players don’t need to solve the first problem immediately, there is still time to deal with it.
At the moment, the most important thing is the second aspect, how to resettle these native people who were once slaves.
Fortunately, players have had similar experience in accepting and dealing with local indigenous people before, and before starting the liberation mission, they also thought about how to deal with these colonized intelligent races.
The first thing is to register and count how many people were liberated, what race they were from, which tribe they were from, and other information.
Then based on the registration situation, we will analyze how to place these intelligent races.
However, there will still be some slight differences from the way the local tribes settled in the manor before, and that is treatment.
Almost all of these races have diseases, some of which doctors have never seen before, and some of which are very difficult and even contagious.
In this case, the demand for medical staff and drugs increases, and the demand for food also increases.
Because some patients are just hanging on, it is impossible for them to work like this to earn their own food. The player is not a slave owner, so Zhou Bapi can only bear their food.
Fortunately, there are many plantations here, and luckily, most of them are growing food, and it will be harvest season. With this food, they can afford their daily life without affecting the food supply in the main world.
And there is a big difference from the local tribes in the manor. These races liberated by the players all have extra trust and even dependence on the players. They treat the players as their parents, no, even more exaggerated than their parents. They simply treat the players as their own parents. They have gained faith, especially the more the players stay with them, the more they worship and rely on the players, as if they have no problem dedicating their lives to the players.
Players say this trust is a bit too heavy...
Perhaps, they need not only science but also a psychiatrist.
