Chapter 127: 127 Underground

Zhu Wencong brought Lawrent to his study; they chatted about family trivia over dinner, never discussing serious matters.

Now Lawrent was officially reporting on all the situations in San Francisco and that all of his objectives had been achieved.

As per Zhu Wencong's previous arrangements, Lawrent was responsible for instigating slave disturbances in San Francisco and for promoting the abolition of slavery.

Faced with the uprising slaves, farm owners naturally showed no courtesy and struck hard when they needed to.

Lawrent provided weapons on one hand and fanned the flames covertly on the other, making the situation increasingly uncontrollable.

In the end, the farm owners chose to capitulate, not because they couldn't beat a group of slaves, but because production had stopped.

Farm owners, their financial avenues cut off, couldn't outlast those barefooted people, not to mention the banks had also cut off funds, and suppliers began to demand payment.
