"Your Highness, this time the grass people have brought a total of three thousand slaves to Your Highness, hehe. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Without waiting for Xiao Ming to go to Liang Dahai to ask if there were any new slaves in his hands, a few days after the Niu Li overturned car was built, he took the initiative to come to the door.

"Three thousand? How could there be so many this time? Qin Le couldn't believe his ears.

"Your Highness, this is thanks to the gift of the heavens, this time the heavy snow on the grassland has caused the barbarians to freeze to death a lot of cattle and sheep, even if they trade with Dayu, the barbarian tribe can't afford to raise many slaves, rather than let these slaves starve to death, it is better to sell them to me in exchange for some food."

After a pause, Liang Dahai said as if he had taken credit: "I walked a few tribes on the grassland, and I had three thousand slaves in my hands, but these barbarians are also very cunning, and the slaves sold to me are sold at a high price, but thinking that His Highness is in urgent need of slaves, I bought them." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, Liang Dahai's affairs were done well this time, and now Xiao Ming doesn't care that the barbarians are the feud of the Great Yu Kingdom, everything is a priority for the development of the fiefdom.

In recent years, the barbarians have often raided the border, and I don't know how many people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom have been captured, and many of the people who have been captured have died on the way to the grassland.

The people who were slaves in the barbarian tribes lived a very miserable life, and often none of the people who were captured survived, and even more, some barbarians would take pleasure in killing the people of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

In his memory, he often heard that the barbarians would deliberately let the people of the Great Yu Kingdom go, and then hunt them on horseback, and this was just a game when they were bored.

"You did a good job this time, it doesn't hurt if the price is a little higher, they are all the people of my Dayu country, and they were captured by the barbarians, this is the shame of the Dayu country, no matter what method is used, it is a good thing to be able to let them come back, after all, let's say, how much silver is in total this time, I want it." Xiao Ming said.

As soon as Liang Dahai came back from the barbarian grassland, he had already heard that Xiao Ming had set up a chamber of commerce and made a lot of money, and a large number of foreign merchants in Qingzhou also confirmed this.

However, after learning about the Chamber of Commerce, Liang Dahai also had his own thoughts, he said: "Thanks to His Highness's kindness, it is a great honor for the grass people to be able to trade with His Highness, but the grass people still have a reluctant request, can they also let the grass people join His Highness's Chamber of Commerce?" “

Xiao Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and now the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce has become a very magical institution through the mouths of many businessmen, just like the slogan of pyramid schemes, as long as you join the Chamber of Commerce, you will make a fortune.

He said: "I didn't have time to tell you about this matter because you went to the grassland, since this king cooperates with you to trade slaves, you are naturally the king's person, and it is natural for you to join the chamber of commerce, but there is another thing you may also know, this king now has his own business house, if you want, you can go to Li Kaiyuan, he will include you in the business bank, from now on you will be the king's person, if your credit is enough in the future, this king can also give you an official position." ”

"Your Highness!" Liang Dahai trembled slightly with excitement, the words "one official and half a job" shocked him like Xianle.

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "You heard it right, in this king's fiefdom, this king only recognizes merit, not any wealthy families." “

Like any dynasty in ancient times, the Great Yu Kingdom was also a dynasty with a fixed class, or because of the existence of the big families, this solidification was more extreme.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to enter the aristocratic circle through their own efforts, although there is also a imperial examination system in Dayu, but having fame does not mean that you can become an official.

Because there is a sad interview session after the written test, this link is called Kanhe in Dayu State, and the so-called Kanhe is that after you get fame, you also need to be personally examined by officials appointed by the imperial court.

At this time of year, censorship officials will become the core issue of the ministers of the DPRK and China, because whoever gets this errand can justifiably collect money from the famous scholars, attack the children of the opponent's family, and take the opportunity to increase the number of officials.

Of course, not all scholars have to go through this level, then you must be in the top three, and then you will be qualified for the temple examination.

So now Liang Dahai is promised to give him an official and a half-position in the future, and this Liang Dahai will be so excited, because this is the real grass chicken turning into a phoenix, and he will be promoted to an official with the humble body of a businessman, which is also rare in history.

"Your Highness's great kindness, Liang Dahai is unforgettable!" After the excitement, Liang Dahai knelt down with a "bang".

Xiao Ming was a little helpless, because with his thinking, he couldn't regard the matter of being an official as something more important than his life, but he could in Dayu Kingdom.

He said, "Don't rejoice too soon, what the king can give you, the king can also take back, everything is up to you." ”

Liang Dahai clenched his fists and said: "The grass people understand that if His Royal Highness is sent in the future, Liang Dahai will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not hesitate. “

"Well, this king will put away your words, waiting for you to prove it to this king, this is not to mention for the time being, at present, this king's business bank has just been established, and it is the time when there is a shortage of people, you can go."

Liang Dahai was still in a dream, he turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know how to find Li Kaiyuan, so he said: "Your Highness, where is this Li Kaiyuan?" “

"There is a shop called Qingzhou Commercial Bank next to the patent department, you can go in, this king and Li Kaiyuan have talked about your business, you only need to report your name." Xiao Ming said.

Liang Dahai nodded, turned around and was overjoyed, and muttered: "Father, mother, the ancestral grave of the old Liang family is smoking." ”

After summoning Liang Dahai, Xiao Ming went to the workshop base, and now the slaves are sent directly to that place, because of the needs of the workshop area, Chen Wenlong has specially established a private workshop in the workshop area, and all the people living in this private workshop are slaves.

The perimeter of the village is a high wall that encloses the house in order to prevent slaves from escaping and outsiders prying eyes.

In order to train skilled workers, he is now in urgent need of a group of young and middle-aged slaves with active brains.

He came to the workshop area and saw the slaves sent by Liang Dahai.

Unlike the last time Liang Dahai sent the slaves with life in their eyes, these slaves seemed to have no hope in their eyes, and they were tortured and humiliated in the grassland, making them like walking corpses.

Xiao Ming asked the guards to take the old and too young slaves down to arrange accommodation, leaving only the slaves between the ages of thirteen and thirty.

Unlike older slaves, young hearts are always restless, and these people's eyes shine differently, which is hope.

Of the 3,000 slaves, only 300 strong slaves remained, a small proportion because most of the young slaves were killed by the barbarians.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked the guards to take these young and strong slaves out of the workshop area and to the bank of the Xiaoqing River.
