Once again, Egg Town and the various villages all built walls and set up outposts in appropriate locations to prevent wild demons from attacking the residents.
Then, Egg Town's main streets were paved with cement, and stores were set up on both sides to attract free citizens to do business, allowing talented slaves to open shops and promising them freedom after they paid a certain amount of redemption money.
The most important rule was, in order to increase the slaves' enthusiasm for work, they were allowed to gain freedom within Egg Town after they paid sufficient redemption money or completed the equivalent work.
Egg Town now had a population of over five thousand, close to four thousand of whom were slaves bought by Ma Lin.
A local society operating on slavery wasn't highly active and would struggle to prosper.
Therefore, the idea was to give the slaves freedom, let them work more, earn money, support themselves, and find their own entertainment.
