Black Iron Crown

The careless slave seemed to have been injured a bit, and he might have been a little exhausted. He didn't get up from the ground, but struggled weakly in place.

The Clades on the side looked at him with eyes full of pity and worry, but they didn't dare to step forward to help him.

Seeing this scene, before Reiner could speak, Mason charged up and kicked him heavily, then took out the whip around his waist and beat him fiercely.

"Damn it! You damned trash! The Baron provided you with food and drink. Is this how you repay the Lord? You shameful predators! You moths who get nothing for nothing! Pigs! Now is the time for your redemption, give me the ore quickly Pick it up and send it to the blast furnace room! Otherwise you'll be in hell!"

After saying these words, Mason didn't stop moving his hands, and the whip kept whipping on the slave of Klade, making a crackling sound, and his body was bloody and bloody in just a short while.

"Okay!" Reiner frowned and shouted, and said to Mason, "Stop it, Mason! He was just careless! Don't let him die! I still need him to help me with my work!"

When Mason heard this, he kicked him twice in frustration, and said viciously, "I must obey the baron's orders! You must know that the baron saved you today! You should be grateful to Dade for working harder for him." Live! Pick it up quickly!"

After finishing speaking, Mason trotted over to Reiner's side, and said respectfully: "You have also seen the baron, this group of damned Kladers are so lazy, even in front of you, they want to take a break." , but don't worry, I won't let them slow down their work!"

Listening to Mason's words, Reiner frowned slightly, turned his head and glanced at Sir Cord, and saw that there was no expression on the other party's face, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter.

He shifted his eyes from Sir Cod to Mason, stared at him for a while, and then said: "Mason, I am very satisfied with your supervision that the Klade people are not allowed to be lazy!"

After hearing Reiner's words, Mason's face was full of joy, and he hurriedly said: "It is my honor to serve you, Lord Baron! Please rest assured, I will do better than now!"

"But!" Reiner looked at the beaming Mason and said, "You need to change this way, the human body's ability to bear is limited, and continuous high-intensity labor every day will seriously overdraw your physical strength and health, just like them!"

Reiner pointed to the Klad people who were panting and working hard to carry the iron ore, and said: "They are now on the verge of collapse. If this continues! They may be exhausted to death!"

"But..." Mason frowned slightly, looked at Lena with puzzled eyes and said, "Master Baron, these damned Klades are the invaders who invaded our territory last winter! We have a problem with them." Isn't it right for us to oppress them to work?"

Leiner is trying to exhaust Mason's ideas, but she and the other party are not in the same position after all. The Klade people have a deep hatred for the Redcar people in the north, but for Leiner, they are just It is just an enemy who has been defeated by him once.

If the Klade people were replaced by Neon people, Reiner, who is a contemporary incomprehensible cynic, might do even better than Mason. However, the Klade people are an important labor force after all.

It is very hard and dangerous to enter the mine to dig ore. If the Redcars are allowed to do it, they must not be able to dig at such an intensity. If you want to achieve the same progress, you will need more manpower, which is a waste of labor. This kind of thing is not what Reiner wants to happen.

He is not a saint, he hopes to liberate these slaves or give them a superior living environment, he just hopes that the slaves will die less,

able to work for him longer.

"What I mean is, don't push them too hard. I need them to work for me for a long time. I don't want people who die every day, so you have to reduce their work intensity appropriately and let them If you can guarantee that you will not die, come and continue to work for me!"

Reiner glanced at Mason, and then his eyes suddenly became sharper, and said: "At the same time, I also know about your shady tricks underground, I don't completely prohibit you, but you must at least restrain me a little bit, I don't want to see any more slaves dying of starvation, exhaustion and beatings!"

After being swept away by Reiner's gaze, Mason immediately knew that his little tricks had been completely known by the baron. Beads of sweat immediately appeared densely on his forehead, and his pale face was very nervous, stammering He said: "Yes... yes... Lord Baron, I understand, I will never do this again!"

Seeing his terrified look, Reiner smiled again, and said gently: "As a member of the Moreland family, your loyalty is unquestionable, just pay attention to the method, then I will go back first! "

After speaking, Reiner patted Mason on the shoulder, turned and left the mine.

Reiner rode on horseback and asked Sir Corder, "Uncle, do you think it's appropriate for me to handle things like this?"

Sir Corder was silent for a while listening to Reiner's question, and then said: "Perhaps it is correct, I understand that you don't want to kill too many slaves so that no one can work, and you didn't punish Mason, let the family The members of the group are panicking, and I think you've handled it well!"

Nodding his head, Reiner didn't continue to ask further questions.

Back in the castle, Reiner entered his study room, sat on a chair and began to flip through the files.

That's the information that Logan collected in the territory recently. The intelligence organization named Black Hand by Reiner under his command has expanded to more than 50 people, scattered on the territory controlled by Reiner, flexibly collecting various The information is sent to Leiner, and Leiner can immediately know and deal with any troubles.

Looking at one of the reports, Reiner showed a thoughtful expression on his face. This is the information about the mine, and this information is far more serious than the file sent by Sir Corder. Although the above content is similar, it is described from another angle, which gives Reiner another sense.

Putting down the file, Reiner put his index finger between his teeth and thought, this is his long-standing thinking habit.

"I can't go on like this..." Reiner narrowed his eyes and thought carefully: "Even if their living environment is changed, accidents are always unavoidable... Casualties will inevitably continue to occur, just more or less It's just a difference..."

Standing up from the chair, walking to the narrow window in the middle of the study, looking at the endless and winding woods in the distance, Reiner had an idea in mind.
