Du Lang looked at the slaves. From the initial numbness and despair, they gradually turned into vigorous people full of energy. He looked strangely in Shen Yanxiao’s direction, and his eyes were full of surprise and admiration.
He knew that Shen Yanxiao disapproved of using slaves from the very beginning, but she had to do so because of the present situation.
Yet, even though she did buy some slaves, she insisted on using her own methods to gradually transform them from slaves without human rights to humans with their own will.
In her own way, she changed the world that she could not accept.
When a rabbit came to the wolf’s den, either she would become a wolf herself or she would turn the wolf into a rabbit.
She provided the slaves their most desired hope. Shen Yanxiao might not realize that her approach would let these people give her their absolute loyalty; they would never betray her, and even follow her until death.
These followers would eternally guard the G.o.d-like existence in their mind because in their most desperate times, she gave them hope and gave them opportunities to become a real person again.
“Did you already guess it?” Du Lang couldn’t help asking Shen Yanxiao. The young girl who was not yet fully an adult had given him too much shock. He was really curious. In her small head, what kind of huge brain was there that could turn things around when adults were powerless?
Shen Yanxiao was squatting on the ground examining the ores that had been transported. When she heard Du Lang’s question, she turned her head in confusion.
“Guess what? I have no idea where the ores are in the eastern region. I just let them bring back the stuff mined in the mining areas that the other three forces had opened up.” No matter how many skills she had, she still couldn’t determine the mineral layout. She was not a geologist.
Du Lang laughed. As expected, Shen Yanxiao did not realize how astonis.h.i.+ng the feat she had done was.
Looking at the dirty little fellow who was lying next to the ores, Du Lang chuckled. This little fellow really did whatever she liked. There was not even a bit of the air of a City Lord.
“Ah!” a scream impressively sounded out of the blue.
A pet.i.te and pretty figure, like a cool breeze blowing in front of people, hurriedly ran to Shen Yanxiao’s side, and pulled up the City Lord who was squatting on the ground, completely neglecting her image.
“Little… Miss, why are you doing these dirty things again? We can do these things just fine, you… don’t need to work on this again!” The bright and pretty girl’s long, shapely eyebrows were a bit wrinkled. She wore a bright green skirt, and it added a touch of anger to the silent city of The Rising Sun.
Shen Yanxiao looked speechlessly at Yin Jiuchen who had changed beyond recognition. She was carefully wiping the dirt on her hands with a handkerchief.
Perhaps because of her similarly young age, Shen Yanxiao did not allow Yin Jiuchen to do logistic work but instead left the thin, young girl by her side.
But…
If she knew that she had found herself a little nanny, she would absolutely find an excuse to throw this little nanny into the logistics department to peel corns!
Thanks to Shen Yanxiao’s kindness, Yin Jiuchen had always been like a small tail following her no matter where she went. Even though Shen Yanxiao had repeatedly indicated that she did not need to take care of her like this, Yin Jiuchen was still like the tip of a horn. She would follow her in life and death. Whenever she saw Shen Yanxiao having a little bit of hards.h.i.+p, she would rush over like a hen protecting her chicks.
