"Demolished as slave?"

Zhang Liang raised his head at this time, which was a bit incredible.

Just the charge of being a bandit was enough to behead him, not to mention that he attacked the official horse team, he was stunned for a moment.

The same is true for Zhang Kun, with a weird look.

At this time, Xiao Ming looked at Pang Yukun, who was slightly satisfied, and curled his lips. He originally wanted to release all these people.

But Pang Yukun strongly opposed it. He believed that it was not too impatient to win over people's hearts. If he was acquitted, perhaps Zhang Liang would be grateful to Xiao Ming, but he would also think that Xiao Ming valued his talents and was generous to him. In this way, this last trace of gratitude would disappear.

Rather than do this, it is better to denounce them as slaves and dismiss their status as slaves in the future, so that they can build shipyards and take serious care of them.

I have to say that in the same era, sometimes the questions I think about are different, and sometimes the plot of the Virgin Mary is undesirable in this era.

Xiao Ming thought about it later, and what Pang Yukun said made sense.

At this time, Qian Dafu said slowly: "Zhang Liang, don't be surprised. It was the love I asked for you. Do you still remember me?"

Zhang Liang carefully distinguished and said in surprise: "Butler Qian."

"That's right, it's me. When I first came to Qingzhou, I also went to your shipbuilding workshop to ask you to repair the damaged merchant ship. The last time you stopped me in Tuoshan," said Qian Dafu.

Zhang Liang said guiltily: "Butler Qian, it's because Cao Min is blind. If we recognize Butler Qian, we will never dare."

"Forget it, don't mention this matter in the future. This time I beg your highness to see how good you have to build a ship, so I spare your life. I will try my best to repay Your Highness in the future." Qian Dafu continued.

Qian Dafu is singing a double act with Xiao Ming, one blushing and the other white-faced.

Zhang Liangru left the gate of hell and said, "Thank you Your Highness, thank you Butler Qian."

"Get up, starting today, you will be part of the Equipment Department, and be classified as slaves, and Captain Lu, and lead them there." Xiao Ming said.

Slaves are still a common phenomenon in the Great Yu Kingdom. The laws of the Great Yu Kingdom clearly stipulate: "Slaves are more than livestock."

It means that like livestock, the modern word "bitter" also comes from this.

The servants and servants in the Qi Palace can be said to be all Xiao Ming's private property. He can buy and sell and kill him at will, without any human rights.

Among the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce here, there was no slave class because they were just vassals who lived in the four classes.

The number of slaves in Chang'an City even accounts for 20% of the population. These people take care of all the daily life of those nobles who do not work in production.

The sources of slaves are also very wide, including prisoners of war, sinners who are sent to slaves, good men who are sold to slaves, and children born to slaves.

The household registration of these people is specially classified as slaves. Whether the slave can be terminated depends entirely on the owner's wishes.

Now Xiao Ming has classified Zhang Liang and others as slaves, and their fate is still in his hands, and he can deal with it at will.

Lu Fei took Zhang Liang and his group to the Equipment Department. Pang Yukun said, "Congratulations to Your Highness, I have obtained another group of craftsmen."

"This is thanks to Pang Changshi's advice." Xiao Ming said, and the two of them held each other's stinking feet.

Pang Yukun smiled stiffly, "But Your Highness, the silver that allocated the porridge can only last for a month. I hope Your Highness will think of more ways. There are many rioters who have come to surrender these days, and it seems that they have achieved results at first."

Xiao Ming was so angry that Pang Yukun bowed, saying that it was all up to you, so he turned around and left with ease.

Qian Dafu glanced at the departure Pang Yukun and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, Pang Changshi is this kind of nature and has no malice."

"You will be a good person." Xiao Ming said helplessly: "Let's go to the Equipment Department. Whether you can come to the Silver Department depends on the skills of the Equipment Department."

This time, Xiao Ming went to the Equipment Department to ask Chen Qi to forge a very practical thing for himself. This thing can be distilled wine and an indispensable thing for refining essential oils - a distiller.

In fact, the principle of the distiller is very simple, it is a few connected sealed jars. The first jar is responsible for distillation, the second jar is responsible for cooling, and the third jar is responsible for collecting.

As long as the distiller is made, distilled wine and extracted vegetable essential oils are no problem.

The most important thing is that this kind of distiller is wood, ceramic, and metal.

When he arrived at the Equipment Department, Chen Wenlong was assigning a choreographer to Zhang Liang and others, and Xiao Ming called Chen Qi over.

"Chen Qi, these two **** made this thing for me." Xiao Ming pulled Chen Qi aside, drew the picture of the distiller on the blackboard, and then explained to him the specific structural materials.

Through Xiao Ming's teaching, Chen Qi's specific production process of the distiller soon appeared in his mind. He said: "This is simple, your highness, it's better to burn a few large pots, and it's easy to shape."

"Well, that's fine. The pipes connected between the clay pots are made by using the method of penetrating the penetration." Xiao Ming said.

This macaroni is the method of wrapping a soft stick in mud, calcining and then pulling it out, so that the condenser tube required by the still can be made.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will instruct the craftsmen to do it now." Chen Qi said.

After explaining the distiller, Xiao Ming returned to the royal palace and asked Aster to buy some rice wine and spices.

Aster went to East and West Markets on the same day, but only in Qingzhou City, they could only buy rice wine, but they could not buy spices.

Xiao Ming thought for a while and could only find Qin Mu.

"Your Highness, this spice is of course fine." Qin Mu was obviously not concerned about this question, but asked: "I heard that Your Highness caught Zhang Liang and his son?"

Xiao Ming reached out to bake the briquette stove. The snow in Qingzhou City stopped for a few days, but the snow melted and became even colder.

The Qin family and Zhang Liang had some past. Xiao Ming was not surprised that he asked this and said, "That's right, do you have any ideas?"

"Your Highness, it's not that Brother Yu has any idea, but that Zhang Liang owes our Qin family a large debt. My father meant that he wanted to buy Zhang Liang and his son from His Highness and let them build a ship to pay off the debt." Qin Mu asked tentatively.

Xiao Ming raised his eyelids and said lightly: "This is not OK. It is useful for me to keep him. Don't think about this."

Qin Mu was disappointed and said embarrassedly: "Since that's the case, I will take my leave."

Xiao Ming glanced at Qin Mu and reminded him, "My batch of spices are used to present to the Queen. You Qin family must be careful. If something goes wrong, I will not be able to protect you."

Qin Mu was a little annoyed about Xiao Ming's rejection of Zhang Liang, and wanted to buy some inferior spices to deal with it. Xiao Ming's words immediately made him shudder.

"Your Highness, don't worry, give me a hundred courages, and I don't dare to use inferior products as good ones. My family happens to have a batch of top-quality spices from the Western Regions. I was going to take them to Chang'an for sale, so I'll send them to you tonight," Qin Mu laughed.
