Chapter 45: Anger

After dinner, Zhao Hai deliberately left Merlin in the room and asked her to help him cook some Kaya. While drinking Kaya, Zhao Hai said to Merlin, "Grandma Merlin, 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 moment and glanced at Zhao Hai, saying, "Young master, do you really want to listen to my opinion

Zhao Hailian hurriedly said, "Of course, Grandma Merlin, you have always been in charge of people in the Buda family. I have never been in charge of anyone before, so I don't have as much experience in this area as you do

Merlin smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your praise, young master. I think you're being too good to those slaves now. You should be stricter

Zhao Hai was taken aback by these words and asked, "Grandma Merlin, are you saying I need to be stricter with those slaves? Why

Merlin smiled and said, "Young master, you should know that a superior is not only gentle, but also strict. 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 did not do so well, so they feel sorry for you. That's why they can't muster up their spirits when recognizing words, because in their eyes, helping us work is their value, and learning to recognize words is our reward for them. Now we only reward them, but we don't let them do anything, which makes them feel uneasy

Zhao Hai was taken aback for a moment. He didn't really think about it. Zhao Hai felt that these slaves should now be like those students on Earth. To be honest, no student would treat learning as a reward. Everyone wished they only had two days of classes and five days of rest per week.

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

Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "I understand. Thank you, Grandma Merlin, for making me think about what I want to do

Merlin nodded contentedly, understanding Zhao Hai's meaning. Yes, it cannot be denied that Zhao Hai is really excellent now. At least in her eyes, Zhao Hai is excellent. However, she also had to admit that Zhao Hai still has a lot to learn.

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

After thinking for a while, Zhao Hai stood up, took a deep breath, and turned to Merlin, saying, "Grandma Merlin, let's go out. I want to meet these people

Merlin nodded and the two of them walked out of the thatched hut to the slave who was practicing writing on the grass. They had dug open the grass to expose the soil below and were writing on it with corn stalks.

However, Zhao Hai noticed that these slaves seemed somewhat lethargic, much different from the excited look when they first learned to write.

Zhao Hai walked over with a calm face and said calmly, "Everyone, stop for a moment

As soon as the slaves saw that Zhao Hai had arrived, they immediately put down the corn stalks in their hands and knelt down to bow to him. However, this time Zhao Hai did not gently ask them to stand up and speak as before, but instead said in a deep voice, "I heard that you have been very careless when learning to write these days

His voice was not very high and very calm, but the slaves involuntarily trembled for a moment and immediately said in unison, "Master, please punish me

Zhao Haiyu said with a hint of coldness, "You have never understood one thing. Learning to write is not just a reward for you, but a way for you to better serve our Buda family. Even if you are fools, you should understand the current situation of the Buda family. The Buda family needs each of you to do your best to serve them. It is the greatest effort, you know? But what abilities do you have now? Besides doing some physical work, what else can you do? What skills do you have? What are your specialties? I will give you a book, how many words can you recognize? You don't know anything now, don't understand anything. If those undead creatures can be controlled by me, Speaking of which, an undead creature can withstand ten of you, and they don't even need me to waste food to feed them! Compared to strength, you can't compare to horses. Why should I ask you not to have horses? Because you can learn to recognize each other, but horses cannot. As long as you learn to recognize characters, you can better serve the Buda family. If you only work hard, why should I let you learn to recognize characters? Don't you want to learn how to read and serve the Buda family better

All the slaves knelt there trembling and trembling. This was the first time Zhao Hai had said such heavy words to them after seeing him. They were really scared.

Zhao Hai took a few deep breaths, calmed his emotions, and then said, "I once said that if you do well, I can restore his civilian identity, but do you think that giving you civilian identity will allow you to live a good life? No, if you don't have the ability, even if you are a civilian, you are the lowest level of civilian. You have to remember that my Buda family needs people who are ambitious and dedicated to a good life, not those useless people who only think about living a life and waiting for death

Then Zhao Hai glanced at Ju and said, "Many of you want to be here. Why did I let Ju restore her civilian identity? She only knows how to weave grass, and many of you can even weave grass, not worse than Ju. But why did I let Ju restore her civilian identity? I'm telling you, because Ju dares to stand up and say she can, she can, she wants to change her life, she wants to live a better life, she wants her brother to be saved, she wants her brother and children to become commoners, have a fair opportunity for education, not rely on rewards. I hope you can learn to learn Ju. I hope that one day when you see me, you can bow to me and call me Young Master, not 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 and shouted loudly, 'I understand my master.'

These slaves are really excited now. This is the first time a nobleman has said such words to them. This is the first time someone has treated them like humans, and this is the first time someone hopes they can become human. Although Zhao Hai has been angry with them, they have no dissatisfaction in their hearts. On the contrary, they are full of gratitude and admiration for Zhao Hai, because Zhao Hai has planted a seed in their hearts, a seed of self-improvement that never fades.

After listening to them finish speaking, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Stand up. I don't like others always kneeling in front of me. Remember, studying handwriting well is not a reward, it's a command

The slaves spoke in unison again, 'Yes, master,' and then stood up.

Although these slaves knelt on the ground for a long time, when they stood up, they had a new temperament. The previously withered and shrinking appearance seemed to disappear all at once, and their bodies seemed to be filled with strength.

Merlin smiled faintly as he stood behind Zhao Hai, his eyes filled with relief. She never expected Zhao Hai to do so well today, even better than she had imagined. Not only did he give those slaves a warning, but he also made them grateful to him. Merlin was extremely satisfied with Zhao Hai's performance.

Zhao Hai glanced at the slaves who stood up straight, nodded, and turned to Merlin, saying, "Grandma Merlin, I'll leave the rest to you. Don't just study every day, otherwise it will make people's heads go blank and they won't remember anything at all

Merlin smiled and said, "Young master, you can rest assured. I know what to do. This is not my first time teaching students

Zhao Hai laughed heartily and turned to walk towards the thatched hut. Wood and stones followed behind Zhao Hai, and Meg did not follow Merlin this time. Instead, she followed Zhao Hai with a look of admiration.

Meg felt that Zhao Hai was really handsome today. It was because when he said those words just now, his body seemed to be shining, and there was an inexplicable force that kept attracting her gaze, making her eyes unable to leave Zhao Hai for a second.

The most new and small to say in the book of ⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥\886!

Zhao Hai returned to the room, but he let out a sigh of relief. His words had been prepared before he could say them. He had even designed where to pause and what kind of expression to use at that time. Of course, he was also a bit emotional later on, so he acted more realistically. But it cannot be denied that these words were all designed by him.

Meg followed Zhao Hai into the room and, upon seeing Zhao Hai's appearance, couldn't help but burst into a smile. She really liked to be by Zhao Hai's side more and more now, as if there was a power in Zhao Hai's body that could calm her mind and give her a peaceful, peaceful, yet very reassuring feeling.

Zhao Hai only noticed someone behind him at this moment. He was stunned and turned around to see that it was Meg. Zhao Hai felt a little embarrassed. He was a homebody and had not had much contact with girls before. The last time Meg hugged him, he didn't know what to say when he saw her for the next few days. Now that he saw Meg standing behind him, he didn't know what to do.

Zhao Hai said helplessly, "Ah, Meg, why did you come in? Is there anything wrong

Meg looked at Zhao Hai's expression and her smile grew even bigger. She immediately smiled and said, "What's wrong? Young master, can't I enter this room

Zhao Hailian hurriedly said, "Sure, of course. You can come in anytime, sit down and have a drink

Meg looked at Zhao Hai and couldn't help but chuckle, "Young master, that Koya is prepared for you. I dare not drink it, otherwise my mother will scold me

Zhao Hailian quickly said, "No, I bought you a drink, it's okay
