Chapter 107 Slave Master: From Beginner to Master (Please subscribe~)

The "good slave owners" mentioned by Piltover historians and the "good slave manors" dreamed up by the food stall uncle are not necessarily fake or non-existent.

After all, just like the great warlord slave-owning family of Noxus, there would be an outlier like Mel Myrdalda.

There may be good people among slave owners.

Just like there are good people among nobles, there are good people among landowners, there are good people among business owners, and there are also dogs who don't eat shit. Yes, these are all true.

"But the good and evil attributes of an individual are not necessarily related to the progress or backwardness of the class to which they belong. This is the core of Janna's ideological class theory."

Levi said something again that Zeli couldn't understand.

But what he said next was immediately understandable:

"Yes, there may be good people among the slave owners. They may prefer to make less money and make the slaves live more comfortably."

"Uncle, little girl, you can try to think about it now."

"How many of the Alchemy Barons of Zaun are such good people?"

Zeli: "."

The question sent shivers down her spine.

Even a three-year-old child in Zaun knows that the alchemist barons of Zaun are the most cruel, terrifying, and morally scumbags in the Twin Cities.

Sink them into the alchemy sewage ditch in Zaun, and they will pollute the environment.

"Of course not many of these alchemist barons are good people."

"Because in Runeterra, there is a huge gap in strength between the strong and the weak, the Alchemy Baron and ordinary people. Therefore, even in the face of such cruel oppression, the slaves cannot resist, dare not resist, and will not resist."

"This results in slave owners having very low security costs in managing slaves, and the benefits of oppressing slave labor are higher than that of hired workers."

"So most of the alchemy barons in Zaun are actually engaged in the shady business of raising slaves and oppressing slave workers - they are just slave owners in the skin of business owners."

Levi slowly opened the volume of "Zunan Investigation Report" and turned to the pages that recorded the living conditions of slave workers in Zaun.

He originally thought that when it came to oppressing slaves, Piltover's Iron Fist Gang was invincible.

Unexpectedly, Zaun's Alchemist Baron has no lower limit than them.

"These Zaun industrial and commercial slave owners mainly use a system of measurement and negative stimulation for their slaves."

"That is, using measurement methods to adjust the punishment of slaves, so as to increase the 'production enthusiasm' of slaves, and pressure slaves to find ways to improve production efficiency, thereby constantly breaking through the bottleneck of production efficiency."

Performance appraisal + negative stimulation, this is the "scientific management method" commonly used by slave owners.

When it comes to specific operations, these alchemy barons are really like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers. Only you can't imagine it. Without them, it couldn't be done.

The "Investigation Report" in Levi's hand could be directly renamed "When Humanoid Stars Shine" in this chapter.

"For example, Countess Voss, who runs the mines in the trench area."

"She adopts a scientific 'management by objectives' method, deciding in advance the specific performance goals of each slave production team, and regularly checking the progress of completing the goals."

"If the performance of any slave production team does not meet the standards, Countess Voss will be happy to kill it personally and use her superb killing skills to show all employees the consequences of not working hard."

"This" Zeli's face turned pale when she heard it.

However, after feeling uncomfortable for a while, the food stall uncle questioned in confusion: "Just once the performance did not meet the standards, the slave workers were killed. Isn't this self-destruction of property? If she does this, won't she lose money?"

"No." Li Wei explained: "Because she doesn't need to kill them all."

"We will randomly draw a lottery among the slave labor squads whose performance is not up to standard, draw one person for every ten people, and just pick a few to kill."

"Of course, the remaining people cannot escape corporal punishment - Countess Voss is a master of punishment. She has a hundred ways to make slaves miserable while maintaining their ability to work."

As long as the performance of the production team you belong to does not meet the standards, the Alchemist Baron will arrest and kill them.

Even if the remaining people were lucky enough to survive, they would still have to face corporal punishment.

In this case, wouldn't slaves have to work hard?

Zeli, uncle: "."

They just put themselves in their shoes and can imagine how desperate those slave workers must be.

"Under this advanced management concept that combines the 'Eleven Killing Method' and the 'Management by Objectives' method, the work efficiency of the mining slaves under the name of Countess Voss is not inferior to that of the miners who are free men.

"

"And her methods are not so bloodthirsty and murderous among the Alchemy Barons of Zaun, and are more 'conscientious'."

Levi continued to flip through his booklet.

Each of the names recorded in this book is a benevolent person that makes the weapons master's hands itch when he sees them.

"For example, Baron Takeda Saito, who runs an alchemical potion factory and a biological and chemical weapons factory."

"He uses an assessment management method that combines the 'alternating sorting method' and the 'last elimination method'."

"That is to say, based on the performance evaluation factors, the slave workers are alternately sorted from the best to the worst performers, and finally the batch of slave workers ranked at the bottom are regularly 'optimized' out of the factory."

Free people are optimized by their bosses, and the result is nothing more than being transported into society as talents.

But if slaves are optimized, where will they be transported?

"Don't forget, Baron Takeda's business is alchemy potions and biochemical weapons." Li Wei said quietly:

"His alchemy laboratory is always in need of a large number of living 'volunteers'. Eliminating slaves will not only avoid losing money, but can also create profits through 'waste utilization'."

If the performance is not enough, they will be transported to the alchemy laboratory as consumables. How can these slaves lose their enthusiasm for production?

Zeli, uncle: "."

The previous eleven kills had already made them shudder.

This time, the last elimination and "waste utilization" made the two of them feel goosebumps all over.

"Most of the slave-holding alchemist barons in Zaun use the methods of the two above."

"In addition to these more violent and direct management methods, the Alchemy Barons also have some more creative methods."

"For example, our Zaun godfather, Silko"

Silko himself did not maintain slave labor.

Among the Alchemy Barons, he is quite conscientious. He is just an ordinary "old British-style" business owner who runs a flesh and blood mill. He is not so evil as to oppress slaves.

But his subordinates, vassals, and the little alchemist barons who were attached to the leading brother did not have such a bottom line.

"Silko's subordinates, the alchemist Baron Finn and others who run the shimmering potion business."

"They creatively used the shimmering potion they produced in slave management in their own factory."

"The specific operation is-"

"Feed low-concentration shimmering potion to slave workers for a long time to make them addicted to the drug."

Glimmer potion is highly addictive. Once a slave becomes addicted to taking it, he will become a walking zombie controlled by others from a physiological level.

An appropriate amount of shimmering medicine will not only prevent people from losing their minds and making them unable to work, but will also make them more energetic and physically stronger. They can move bricks more efficiently than without taking drugs.

So these alchemy barons fed slaves a ration of Shimmer every day while working, and after work, they sent the slaves whose bodies had been drained by the medicine back to lie down to rest.

"Using this method, the slaves not only improved their work efficiency, but their 'production enthusiasm' also increased."

"There is no need for slave owners to force them. In order to satisfy their drug addiction, they have to beg and work hard."

Zeli, uncle: "."

One of them is still a child, and the other is an individual businessman who has never been in a factory. The cruelty and shamelessness of the alchemy barons have completely exceeded the imagination of both of them.

"But." The uncle at the food stall was still a little hesitant: "Doesn't the shimmer medicine have side effects? If an ordinary person continues to take shimmer, I'm afraid he will become a useless person in less than three or four years."

"The workers in Zu'an can't live for more than a few years." Li Wei sighed: "Let alone slave labor."

"For the Alchemy Baron, as long as they can efficiently squeeze out the value of slave labor in these three or four years, they don't care whether the slave will become a useless person."

"Just throw away a batch and buy another batch."

"In Runeterra, people are too cheap."

Hearing this, Zeli couldn't sit still at all.

The stories of killing at the eleventh hour, elimination at the bottom, and drug addiction control seem to come from hell.

But they were happening in Zu'an, right next to her.

"Chuck." Zelie suddenly thought of her friend who was sold into slavery: "Chuck went to Baron Lenata's factory."

"Levi!" People in Zaun rarely use honorifics.

She didn't call her sir, brother, and raised her head and asked Li Wei:

"What about Alchemist Baron Lenata? Levi, do you know how Gorask Industry treats slave workers?"

"This." Levi closed the booklet in his hand.

This investigation report did not record the living conditions of slave workers in Gorask Industry.

Even most other situations are not recorded.
