Chapter 72: The Aftermath
Su Dawei was stunned for a moment, and then heard An Wensheng and Gao Dalong say at the same time: "This method is feasible." ”
"Brother Tuesday is right."
Li Bo also praised on the side.
Private ministry, since the Qin and Han dynasties.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, he was a guest.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were guest ministers and tribals.
To put it simply, it is a private adviser and an arm.
Gao Dalong added oil and vinegar to the side and said something to Su Dawei again.
Probably, the Tang Dynasty fought abroad and plundered a large number of people and aliens.
When these people arrived in the Tang Dynasty, they naturally belonged to the lowly class.
There are two types of lowly status: official and private.
With Su Dawei's current identity, after experiencing the Liaodong battlefield, he also has a lot of Goguryeo and Baekje Nu in his hands.
These people can be armed to form Su Dawei's own personal unit.
According to the custom of the Tang Dynasty, these captured slaves and maids belonged to Su Dawei's private assets, which could be bought and sold at will and given away privately.
These slaves were also willing to serve Su Dawei.
Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in the later Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty attacked Annan and captured the population, the men were castrated into the palace as eunuchs, and the women were palace maids, and these people were also determined to serve the masters of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Bo then added on the side: "Su Langjun, in addition to these slaves in your hands, the next reorganization of the Ducha Temple will inevitably eliminate many of the original old people, these people have nowhere to go, and they can completely absorb some of them to form a private team."
It's just that they need a lot of money to support them. ”
"Money is not an issue."
Su Dawei's eyes were shining.
He is now rich.
Over the years, although he has been low-key on weekdays, he has no problem at all with money to support some people.
"With Ami, your current identity and money, it shouldn't be a problem to raise some people, you are now an official under the fourth grade, if I were you, I would have bought a wide range of farms, recruited slaves, and recruited more slaves and maids."
Gao Dalong raised his glass to Su Dawei: "I don't know what you think, I haven't seen any movement for a long time, I'm anxious for you." ”
Su Dawei had to smile bitterly.
With his identity, it is more than enough to raise some slaves, hire some guards and even private troops.
Why hasn't this been done? Or is it a matter of concept.
After all, is it the soul of the afterlife? It was an era when everyone was equal, from the roots? Didn't think about it? I had to go to the Yaren Bank to buy some slaves and maids, or take more Goguryeo slaves on the battlefield.
In addition, Liu Niangzi is also used to being a small family? Even in the generation of Su Dawei's father, Su Saburo, the family has never been rich enough to buy private slaves.
Until now? Big house? Su Dawei wanted to hire a few subordinates, but Liu Niangzi never allowed it.
Later, Shen Yuan, Zhou Liang and Li Bo were allowed to live in, and this house was popular.
Otherwise, there are only Liu Niangzi, Nie Su, and Su Dawei in Nuoda's house? Plus a cat and a dog? It's too lonely.
"This plan is feasible, there are many old brothers in Ducha Temple, if they can't continue to do it, it will be a waste of their skills, and Ami will spend some money to hire them."
Gao Dalong said: "If you can't accept it then?" I'm also willing to hire some. ”
"Let's talk about this later, drink a bar."
Su Dawei raised his glass? Replace the topic.
For the time being, that's all for now.
Forming a private troop and armed forces? It's a path indeed.
As far as Su Dawei knows, those military nobles at the time of the founding of the country? A lot of them are small farmers? Slowly accumulating military merit? Enlarge the gate valve.
Then he absorbed bankrupt peasant households, as well as slaves captured on the battlefield, ransomed some lowly craftsmen, and gradually crossed the class threshold and became large farmers and big landlords.
"Oh no......"
Su Dawei slapped his thigh: "I have the money house, but I don't have land." ”
He suddenly remembered that the house was given by the imperial court, the official was given by Li Zhi, and the money was earned by himself, but it seemed that he had never bought the land.
Besides, there is still idle land near Chang'an.
Those who have good land generally do not sell it easily.
Therefore, strictly speaking, although Su Dawei has money and official status, he is not a landlord yet.
In this era, if you don't have a lot of land, if you don't be a big landlord, you can't raise slaves and maids, and you can't raise a lot of people, so your waist is not hard.
Only the nobles who control a large amount of land can be called landlords and have capital heirlooms.
A military general who owns a large amount of land is called a military nobleman.
The civil officials and Confucian men who owned a large amount of land were called cultivators and heirlooms.
It has nothing to do with small doors.
Whether it is a nobleman or not depends on the amount of land occupied.
In agrarian civilization, land is the means of production.
If you own land, you will have resources, and you will have the propertied class.
If you have no land, you are a proletarian.
An Wensheng glanced at him: "Want land?" I, the Wei Chi family, and the Cheng family can sell something to you. ”
"Let me think about it."
Su Dawei's fingers swiped lightly on the table: "With land, I have to hire people, right?" I have to go to the tooth walk. ”
"It doesn't cost a lot of money, and besides, didn't you raise a batch of Goguryeo and Baekje slaves in your house? Go back and ask Xue Rengui and Ashina Daozhen to send you some Turkic and Hunu, and on the Silla side, if you say hello, Jin Famin will also serve it obediently.
Tell them again about the black tooth Changzhi, you are not short of Japanese slaves. ”
An Wensheng put the wine glass, clasped his hands to his chest, and said quite self-consciously: "Are you afraid of no one if you have Tian?" Besides, with our identity, even if we don't do anything, as long as we have this meaning, many people will take refuge. ”
What this means is that we are all nobles now, nobles, and we have to look like nobles.
The shelves have to be put up.
said that it was to buy, but in fact, it was to take into account Su Dawei's face, give him some fields, and help him build the family shelf.
With this family business, the Su family can also become a gate valve nobleman who will inherit for centuries in the future.
If it weren't for Su Dawei's current status and status, he would still have a broad network.
It is not easy for ordinary people to achieve a class leap and have their own land heirlooms.
Probably only the road of military merit in the army.
However, with the change of thinking of the upper echelons of the imperial court, the government soldiers gradually turned to recruitment, and this road was gradually blocked.
is like an ordinary worker in later generations, if you want to buy a house in the imperial capital by working part-time, the difficulty can be imagined.
"Forty-six years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be idle land near Chang'an now."
Gao Dalong glanced at Gao Dahu, and said with some emotion: "If I can buy good land, I have also saved a lot over the years, and I want to exchange it for land." ”
"You have to ask Ami about this, if he asks for land, he will definitely be able to get it, you can borrow his wind, or you can buy some."
An Wensheng pointed out: "Or you have enough money, go to the market to find a tooth bank to be a middleman, and you have someone who knows how to do it for you, there are always some bankrupt farmers every year, if the bid is high, you should still be able to buy some, but if you want to buy a large amount, it will not be easy." ”
In the empire, there were still a large number of people who did not have land, so they had to go to farming for others, working as hired laborers, or craftsmen, or going into business and doing small business.
Most of these people did not take the free ride of the founding of the country and failed to achieve the class jump.
Unless there are future generations who have made military achievements in the army, or several generations have accumulated and purchased fields, and slowly transition to small landlords.
For the most part, the world cultivates instead of man, and has no land of their own.
This has been the case throughout the ages.
However, in comparison, the people of the Tang Dynasty have a much better life than the previous dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was full of martial virtues, destroying the Turkic Empire to the north and Goguryeo, Baekje, and Wa to the east.
To the south, conquer the barbarians of the south.
To the west, break the Tuyuhun, subjugate the Tibetan and countless Western Regions powers, and open up the Silk Road.
The abundant goods of the Tang Dynasty were continuously transported to the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor, bringing back Western spices and products while earning a lot of wealth.
According to the words of later generations, this is called breaking the involution and exporting our productivity outward.
Foreign trade and martial arts make Datang extremely rich.
Only with a huge amount of wealth can a splendid civilization burst out.
In this regard, as a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, life is really nourishing, far more than in the past dynasties.
After the business is done, the next thing is the small talk between the brothers.
Wine is enough, broth cake is enough.
Eating and chatting, I don't feel that the moon is over the willows.
Su Dawei's house here is big enough, An Wensheng and Zhou Liang are drunk and confused, and there are guest rooms to sleep in.
and then instructed the slaves and maids of the house to send them all to rest.
Su Dawei was held by Nie Su's hand and walked to the bedroom together.
When he arrived at the door, Su Dawei stretched out his hand to support the door, turned his head and said to Nie Su, who was obediently following him: "Xiao Su, I didn't drink much." ”
"I know, I just want to accompany you more, you are so busy with official business, and I can't help, so I can only be in a hurry."
"The male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside, I am busy outside, you help run the house, take care of A-Niang, and it is also very hard."
Su Dawei said, reaching out and gently holding the little hand under Nie Su's sleeve.
Under the moonlight, I saw Nie Su's face was fair, with a pair of big eyes, clear and clear, looking at him without blinking.
In these eyes, there is a strong affection and dependence that cannot be dissolved.
"Brother, do you know when I started liking you?"
"When?" Su Dawei smiled in surprise and said, "Could it be the first time you saw me?" ”
"Brother is so smart."
Nie Su held Su Dawei's hand with both hands and shook it coquettishly.
"I still remember the first time we met, when I was chased and killed by Master Mingzhen's ghost, and I almost died several times until I met my brother."
The girl's fingers were soft, her skin was as smooth as jade, and her cardamom-like tail fingernails scratched at will in Su Dawei's palm.
It's crispy and itchy, as if it's crispy all the way to my heart.
"Brother, I've seen many people, some of them are condescending, some have ghosts, and some have evil thoughts about me, I can detect it, only you, brother, when I first saw you, do you know what I thought of?"
"What?"
"At that time, there are 83,000 worlds, all of which are bright with glass."
Nie Su's eyes flashed, and he said quite emotionally: "Brother, you are different from others, your heart does not have a trace of distractions, you say help me, you really help me and protect me...... I've never seen anyone with a heart as clean as yours.
On the way to escape, I have never tried to sleep so soundly in front of a stranger. ”
Speaking of emotion, Nie Su's expression became more and more charming, delicate and delicate, and his body unconsciously leaned towards Su Dawei.
"From then on, I thought, I must follow you, follow you all the time, only by my brother's side, I have a sense of security."
"Silly girl."
Su Dawei couldn't help but reach out and caress Nie Su's sideburns.
He stretched out his hand and embraced her into his arms.
The two leaned against the door frame.
"Xiao Su, tonight, why don't you leave?"
Su Dawei asked softly beside Nie Su's hot ears.
