335 Slave Traffic 1
Gouzi wants to build a city on the basis of the small frontier city here. Everyone agrees. Huo Xunguo has a total of 110,000 people gathered in one city. This is the best way. Gouzi has been with Li You for so long. I also know what to do. If a city is to be built, a big city must be built, and it must be a strong city. Fortunately, the rocks of the low hills can be used here. The two hills not far away are still limestone. The materials can be built on the spot, but there are too few craftsmen.
As for the extraction of raw materials, it is very fast. Now, more than 10,000 people have been mobilized to do this. They don’t have to pay taxes now. The people are very grateful to the Queen Yiwu. They all know that they moved here to avoid food. To build a strong city defense here, everyone is very enthusiastic.
After all, as long as they survive this period of time, the future will be better. They only need to pay 30% of the tax before. This decree really makes everyone happy. It turns out that they have all kinds of taxes to pay, and there is a tax on the food, and this tax king Helhun is still counted on them, it is really overwhelming for them to breathe.
So when Yi Wu only said that only 30% of the original tax was collected, everything changed, and the hearts of the people gathered together. Moreover, they will not pay any taxes in the next three years. This makes the people think that they have finally ushered in one. A wise monarch, so that Yi Wu's prestige has suddenly increased a lot, and everyone is extremely supportive.
There are more than 3,000 slaves now. What Heizi has to do is to train them into real soldiers, truly usable people. He also clarifies his status as a slave, as long as he makes meritorious service on the battlefield or in the mercenary army. After five years, the status of slavery will be eliminated and a new national status will be obtained. Don't underestimate such promises. What is the matter with slaves? These slaves know very well that as long as they become slaves, it is too difficult to become free people again, and there is basically no possibility.
In the past two days, they have received very good treatment. Although they are slaves, Heizi really did not call them as slaves. What he wants is that these people can truly serve them and become excellent fighters, otherwise , There is no way to survive here in the future.
After Zhang Da stayed here for a few days, he returned to Dahan City. When he came back, the sights here really baffled him. It was full of slaves. A large camp was established outside the city. Taking care of these slaves, he had only been out for a month, and he really didn't understand where so many people came from.
After entering the city, he saw a man, Wang Yanzhang, and after asking, he knew what had happened. Most of these slaves were Persians, and some were from He. They were all from the army of eateries. They were captured by the Anxi Tang Army led by Wang Yanzhang.
After Da Shi destroyed Wuna Huguo, he turned to attack the State of Shi. Since Shi Guo had already asked the Tang army for help when Da Shi attacked Wuna Huguo, Wang Yanzhang led his army to come to Shi Kingdom not far away. Because Shi Guo fell to Datang, and this time he went to war, Shi Guo also paid for it, so Fumeng Lingcha naturally sent troops.
Of course, there is money to be made here. If you don’t have to go to the police, you will not send troops easily. In fact, these are all learned from Li You. Don’t think that wars are not profitable. Last time, he can understand what is making money, don’t talk about it. Looting towns. Merely defeating the opponent, the opponent's equipment can be exchanged for a lot of money.
This time, there were more than 10,000 people in the Great Eater Army who sent troops to the State of Shi, but the army of the State of Shi was not too small, and there were more than 10000. With the three thousand Anxi troops led by Wang Yanzhang, it is still very easy for those who want to defeat the Great Eater. of. After the battle was over, all the military resources belonged to the Tang army, and the horses were collected three thousand horses, not to mention other weapons and armor, these are all money, especially when Wang Yanzhang knew that the city of Dahan could sell slaves. The captive came and sold it.
In the night, Wang Yanzhang and Zhang Da drank wine in the city lord’s mansion of Dahan City, and had a drink. Zhang Da said: "Brother Zhang, you slave, why do I want it? We bought slaves to deal with the food army, you Well, all the food prisoners got here, I don't dare to ask for that!"
"Zhang Da, what are you talking about, boy? I took these three thousand people to walk so far, and the food was consumed so much. You told me not to. This is not enough."
"Brother Zhang, what are you talking about? Do you really think that these people can help fight the big food if they get the fire to search for the country. Is this too weird?"
Wang Yanzhang smiled and said: "Hey, what are you afraid of? These people are now slaves. They only need to be sent to Huoxun country as slaves. If they become slaves, they have to fight. Besides, the price is cheap, brother, I don’t. Thanks to you, these people, how do you give Siguan." New Bayi Chinese website first published
Zhang Da and Wang Yanzhang clinked their glasses and said, "Prices are all trivial matters, but this matter... Well, I will accept these slaves. Anyway, it depends on Heizi and Brother Gou."
"This is not right. To be honest, these people are not really big cannibals. Although they belong to the big eclipse, their country is also destroyed by the big eclipse, or they rely on the big eclipse. Most of them are helpless. Not really attached."
"Don't mention this, let's have a good drink, and leave these things to Brother Dog to deal with. Anyway, I just take people over."
The next day, Wang Yanzhang left. This time they made a lot of money. They exchanged tens of thousands of horse weapons and so on. Most of these were to be turned over to Fumeng Lingcha, but the money earned from selling prisoners of war this time was for battle. Brothers, everybody can get counts, which is pretty good. Going back to Fumeng Lingchao, I will definitely give you some points. This time I made a profit.
Zhang Da has a lot of slaves. Except for those brought by Wang Yanzhang, there are other merchants who have sold them. There are more than one thousand children. They are here now. The number of slaves is over five thousand. They have to feed. With so many people, this is not an easy task. He can only send people to Hengluosi and Shiguo Baishui City to buy food, and when the food is bought, he can set off and take these slaves to the Aral Sea.
It is now the end of September, and Li You has not moved his nest in Broken Leaf. Today, a Han merchant came to the main hall of Broken Leaf Palace. After seeing Li You, he presented a crossbow bow, which Li You asked him to follow. It’s designed and manufactured by him, which is different from the giant crossbow that was transformed before. This is a brand new crossbow, which is lighter. The two ends of the bow are also equipped with pulleys. The winding still uses the internal gears of the crossbow body, which can be wound easily. , And the upper part of this crossbow is also equipped with an arrow box, which contains five feather arrows.
After seeing the crossbow, Li You asked: "Treasurer He, have you tried this crossbow?"
"Most protectors, after trying, you can still get three points in three hundred steps."
Li You nodded and said, "You can continue to do it accordingly. I want five hundred for this first batch. If it is good, I will ask for more in the future."
"Thank you for your protection, the younger one will go back and prepare." (End of this chapter)
