Chapter 1176

Rather, he wanted to bring them all to Chaoge Village to cultivate farmland.

Combined with the rat-people, the entire Chaoge Village could absolutely be cultivated very quickly.

Their status was slaves.

They had absolutely no way of coming into contact with any information from Zhao Chi's side.

Including not even knowing who had captured them.

Not knowing Zhao Chi's name.

If they were brought to Chaoge Village, they also wouldn't know it was an unregistered territory.

They'd only think it was an ordinary territory.

Moreover, they only needed to cultivate the land; the later planting wouldn't require them.

After all, the most time-consuming part is cultivation; planting is relatively easier and faster.

Moreover, having Gu Yan and the others do the planting could also raise their planting skill, which had to be practiced personally.

Once all the farmland was cultivated, they'd be useless, and could be disposed of then.

This way, they hadn't come into contact with the super wheat and experience fruit, and absolutely couldn't leak anything.

Even if sold, it wouldn't matter.

It would still be safe.

They could also be sent over to Su Qin.

But the number of these captives was really too many—2,500 people—would take a long time to digest.

Su Qin's current strategy was to let these people join the territory, becoming dependent personnel.

This way, what they raised was loyalty, and once loyalty went up, it wouldn't drop too quickly.

But this was very time-consuming.

There was another strategy: enslavement.

Not considering letting them join at all, directly demoting them to slaves.

This way, only their obedience needed to be raised.

Obedience increased much faster than loyalty.

Beatings, punishment, hunger—all could raise it.

But correspondingly, obedience also dropped very quickly.

Especially when the number of slaves was large.

If there was only 1 slave.

Then his obedience was basically about the same as loyalty; he would be very obedient, and wouldn't dare disobey.

If there were 10 slaves.

Then the problem wasn't big either.

After all, 10 slaves wasn't many, and they would all be very obedient too.

Of course, it would be a bit harder to manage than with only 1 slave.

But if there were 100 slaves, while the original main race was only about 2,000 people, like Su Qin.

Then these 100 slaves might start having thoughts of their own.

Although they were still very hard to rebel, their obedience would drop relatively quickly.

If it were 2,500 slaves, while the original main race was still only about 2,000 people...

Rebellion could barely be suppressed.

They'd rebel every two or three days.

Obedience would be added in the morning, and completely gone by the afternoon.

At that rate, forget development, internal unrest alone couldn't be dealt with.

Until those slaves were killed down to a few hundred.

Therefore, these 2,500 people were also too many for Su Qin.

Unless a large amount of manpower was invested as overseers.

But... right now there were ready-made overseers.

Namely those 200 slave captives of the various races.

They had previously been slaves to those beastmen, so the resentment in their hearts must be immense.

Now letting them turn the tables, they absolutely wouldn't show the slightest mercy to those beastmen.

Moreover, 200 people supervising 2,300 beastmen was roughly 1 person watching 11 beastmen, which was about right.

Give those people a full set of weapons and equipment; the beastmen could only wear cloth clothes.

Even if the beastmen rebelled, it wouldn't be easy.

Moreover, the Zhaochiye Society would also send female soldiers to manage them.

This way, those beastmen absolutely couldn't rebel.

It was indeed a method.

When transferring them to Su Qin later, those 200 overseers would also be sent along.

At that time, Su Qin would only need to dispatch another 200 elves to supervise simultaneously.

No sooner said than done!

Zhao Chi immediately went to the warehouse where those slaves were held and told them his thoughts.

Those slave captives were covered in wounds, all sitting dejectedly with their heads down.

After hearing Zhao Chi's words, they all looked up.

The hatred in his eyes was fully drawn out.
