Chapter 45

[Chapter 45]

After eating, Zhao Hai deliberately left Merlin in the room and asked her to help him cook a little Keya. While drinking Keya, Zhao Hai said to Merlin, “Grandma Merlin, you What do you think we should do now? How can we make those slaves learn to read with peace of mind?”

Merlin thought for a while, then glanced at Zhao Hai and said, “Master, do you really want to listen to my opinion?”

Zhao Hai quickly said: “Of course, Grandma Merlin, you have been managing people in the Buda family. I have never managed people before, so I don’t have any experience with you in this regard.”

Merlin smiled slightly: “Thank you for your compliment, young master. , I think you are too good to those slaves now, you should be stricter.”

This made Zhao Hai stunned for a moment, Zhao Hai didn’t quite understand: “Grandma Merlin, you mean I want to treat those slaves. Be stricter? Why?”

Merlin said with a smile: “Young master, you must know that a superior person does not only have a gentle side, he is also a strict side. If he is too gentle, his subordinates will think he is easy to bully, of course. , these slaves will not have this situation, but they will think that you are too good to them, and they are not so good, so they feel sorry for you, so when they are reading, they can’t lift their spirits, Because in their view, helping us with work is their value, and learning to read is our reward to them, and now we only reward them, but do not let them do anything, they will feel uneasy .”

Zhao Hai was stunned, he really didn’t think about it, Zhao Hai felt that these slaves should be like those students on earth now, to be honest, no student would regard learning as a reward, everyone I wish I had only two classes a week, and five days of rest.

Zhao Hai has always overlooked a question. In this world, almost all technologies and all knowledge are closed to slaves. Slaves are only used for work. In the eyes of some nobles, slaves are not human.

Zhao Hai thought for a while and said, “I understand, thank you, Grandma Merlin, for letting me think about what to do.”

Merlin nodded in relief, she understood what Zhao Hai meant, yes, it is undeniable that Zhao Hai is really excellent now, at least in her eyes, Zhao Hai is excellent, but she has to admit it, Zhao Hai There is still a lot to learn.

Zhao Hai sat there for a while, thinking about how to deal with this situation. To be honest, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and he had never dealt with such a thing before.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hai just stood up, let out a long breath, turned his head and said to Merlin: “Grandma Merlin, let’s go out, I want to meet these people.”

Merlin nodded, the two left the thatched hut and walked to the In front of the slaves, who were now practicing writing on the grass, they pulled the turf to reveal the soil below, and then used cornstalks to write on the soil.

However, Zhao Hai saw that these slaves seemed to be a little listless, which was very different from the excited look when they first learned to write.

Zhao Hai walked over with a sullen face and said calmly: “Everyone, stop.”

When the slaves saw that Zhao Hai was coming, they immediately put down the corn stalks in their hands and knelt on the ground to salute Zhao Hai, but this time Zhao Hai Hai did not gently ask them to stand up and talk as before, but said solemnly: “I heard that you are not serious when you are learning to write these days?”

His voice was not very high, and it was very Calm, but the slaves trembled involuntarily, and immediately said in unison: “Please punish the master.”

Zhao Haiyu said coldly: “You have not figured out one thing, let you learn to write is not just a reward for you, but to make you better serve our Buda family, even if you are stupid, You should understand the current situation of the Buda family. The Buda family needs each of you to do their best to serve him. It is the best effort, you know? But what ability do you have now, except for some physical work. , what else can you do? What skills do you know? What specialties do you have? I will give you a book, how many words can you recognize? If so, an undead creature is as good as ten of you, and they don’t need me to waste food to support them! You can’t compare to horses, so why do I want you not to have horses? Because you can learn to understand, but horses can’t, as long as you learn If you know how to read, you can serve the Buda family better. If it’s just for your strength, why would I let you learn how to read? Don’t you want to serve the Buda family better if you don’t learn how to read?”

All the slaves They all knelt there tremblingly. This was the first time that Zhao Hai had said such heavy words to them after they saw Zhao Hai, and they were really terrified.

Zhao Hai took a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions, and then said: “I said, if you do well, I can restore his civilian status, but you think that if you give your civilian status, you will be able to live well. Life? Wrong, if you are incapable, even if you are civilians, you are the lowest civilians. You have to remember to me that what my Buda family needs are people who are motivated and want to live a good life, not Those who just want to eat and wait to die.”

Then Zhao Hai glanced at the chrysanthemum and said, “Many of you want to be there, why would I let the chrysanthemum restore her status as a commoner, she can only weave grass, and many of you can weave grass, and even the weaving is no better than chrysanthemum. Poor, but why did I let Ju restore her status as a commoner? I tell you, because Ju dared to stand up and say she would, she could, she wanted to change her life, she wanted to live a better life, she wanted her own My younger brother is saved, and I want my younger brother and my child to become a commoner and have a fair opportunity to receive education, not by reward. I hope you can learn chrysanthemum. I hope that when you see me one day, only treat me Bow, only call me master, not my master, the Buda family needs a hundred people who serve the Buda family wholeheartedly, not a hundred slaves, do you understand?”

All the slaves knelt there, Loudly: “Understood master.”

These slaves are really excited now. This is the first time a noble has said such a thing to them, this is the first time someone sees them as human beings, the first time someone wants them to change. Adults, although Zhao Hai was angry with them, but their hearts were not at all dissatisfied. On the contrary, they were full of gratitude and reverence for Zhao Hai, because Zhao Hai planted a seed in their hearts. The seeds of self-improvement.

After listening to them, Zhao Hai nodded and said: “Stand up, I don’t like people always kneeling in front of me, remember, learn to write well, this is not a reward, it is an order.”

Those slaves They said in unison again: “Yes, Master.” Only then did he stand up.

Although these slaves knelt on the ground for a long time, when they stood up, there was a new temperament in their bodies. The former atrophy and shrinkage seemed to disappear at once, and their bodies seemed to be full of strength. .

Merlin stood behind Zhao Hai with a slight smile, her eyes filled with relief. She did not expect that Zhao Hai did so well today, even better than she imagined. Full of gratitude to him, Merlin was extremely satisfied with Zhao Hai’s performance.

Zhao Hai glanced at the slaves who stood up straight, nodded, turned to Merlin and said, “Grandma Merlin, I’ll leave the rest to you, don’t just study every day, otherwise it will make People’s heads are dead, and they can’t remember anything at all.”

Merlin said with a smile: “You can rest assured, young master, I know what to do, this is not the first time I have taught students.”

Zhao Hai laughed, Turning around and walking towards the thatched hut, the wood and stone followed behind Zhao Hai. Meg was not following Merlin this time, but followed Zhao Hai with a look of admiration.

Meg thinks that Zhao Hai is really too handsome today. When he was talking to him just now, his body seemed to be glowing. There was an inexplicable force that had been attracting her attention, making her eyes blink for a second. It is also inseparable from Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai returned to the room, but he let out a sigh of relief. He said those words just now, but he said it after preparation, and even paused somewhere, and what kind of expression he would use at that time, he had designed it in advance. Of course, he was also a little emotional when it came to him, so he was more realistic. But it is undeniable that these words and things are designed by him.

Meg followed Zhao Hai into the house. Seeing Zhao Hai’s appearance, she couldn’t help but smile again. She really likes staying by Zhao Hai’s side more and more now. Strength can calm her mind and give her a sense of tranquility, tranquility, but very peace of mind.

Only then did Zhao Hai notice that there was someone behind him. He was stunned for a moment, but when he looked back, it turned out to be Meg. Zhao Hai was a little embarrassed. He was an otaku and had never had much contact with girls before. The last time Meg hugged him. He made him feel a little at a loss when he saw Meg in the next few days. Now that Meg was standing behind him, he didn’t even know what to do.

Zhao Hai said at a loss: “Ah, Meg, why did you come in? Is there something wrong?”

Meg looked at Zhao Hai with a bigger smile, and she immediately smiled and said, “What’s wrong? Young master, can’t I enter this room?”

Zhao Hai quickly said: “Yes, of course, you can come in at any time, sit down and drink some Keya.”

Meg looked at Zhao Hai and couldn’t help but grinned and said, “Master, that Koya is for you, I don’t dare to drink it, otherwise my mother will scold me.”

Zhao Hai quickly said, “No. Yes, I invited you to drink, it doesn’t matter.”
