"If you dare to openly move the Ziyin Flower Merchant's goods, I am afraid there will be only one person." Wei Qiu said, squinting.
"Who?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Situ Sen..."
Wei Qiu’s eyes were sharp, and he said: "Almost all the slums in the east and west of Lanyan City are controlled by the'Tianjuehui' created by this person, from human trafficking to the employment of vagrant mercenaries, and even the forbidden army. You must give him some face."
"There is such a thing?"
Lin Muyu looked towards Feng Jixing, and said, "Lord of the wind, Lanyan City is the territory of your Forbidden Army. How can you accommodate such a person?"
"This is not as simple as you saw Ayu." Feng Jixing touched his nose and said, "After three years of recuperation and population migration, Lanyan City has recovered to a giant city with a population of 5 million. It is much larger than you think. The civilian area stretches for hundreds of miles, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the 20,000 imperial army. On the contrary, this Tianjue will already have more than 100,000 people, and it has spontaneously formed a kind of self-growth. Although Tianjuehui has done bad things, it has virtually solved the problems of food, water, and clothing in the slums."
Qin Yin blinked and said with a smile: "Brother Ayu, our current military and financial resources are quite limited, so let Situ Sen and Tian Jue sit in the East and West, but you can rest assured that this is just a kind of wind commanded. The'pig raising' tactic, once the time is right, Tianjue will be able to provide us with a lot of manpower and material resources."
"It turns out that the empire is unable to govern..."
Lin Muyu groaned and laughed: "It's okay, let me meet Situ Sen to see how sacred he is, even dare to grab my goods..."
"Ayu, you have to be careful." Feng Jixing warned cautiously: "Tianjuehui is not just as simple as Situ Sen. He also has a younger sister named Situ Xue, who is the first mercenary group in Lanyan City, Lingbei. The head of the mercenary group, you should have heard of this person."
Lin Muyu was taken aback: "Situ Xue? He is really familiar..."
"If you are going to the general forum of the Tianjue Meeting, you need to bring more people so that you can protect yourself in the event of a conflict."
"I see, don't worry, Brother Feng..."
Lin Muyu turned around and held a fist, saluted Qin Yin and retired, leaving Zetian Temple with Wei Chou, Jin Xiaotang and others.
"Commander, how many Longdanying brothers are we going to bring over?" Wei Qiu asked.
"It doesn't need to be too much, just one thousand troops, let Feng Xi and Xu Jiantao lead the team."
"Yes…"
…
An hour later, the gentian battalion cavalry equipped with sophisticated armor galloped out of the camp and headed straight for Dongcheng District under the leadership of Lin Muyu and Wei Chou. The main altar of the Tianjue Meeting was in the center of the slums of Dongcheng District. At the same time, it is also the poorest and most densely populated place in Lanyan City, and Tongtian Street where Lin Muyu usually lives is actually only a densely populated area of nobles and wealthy civilians.
After flying for more than half an hour, the surrounding terraces gradually disappeared, replaced by closely-connected low-rise houses, many of which are just wooden structures, as if a heavy rain could wash away the faces of people in slums. They were all indifferent, watching the Longdan Camp, the army wearing the emblem of the Imperial Army galloping past, as if it had nothing to do with them.
Not long ago, there were the vegetable market and the slave market. Although the Great Qin Empire seemed to be very prosperous, it was still in the transitional stage of slave society and feudal society. The people were cold, and a group of slaves stood in a row like goods, supplying traffic. Choosing and matching business travelers is like a bargaining chip in black and white, fat and thin.
Lin Muyu frowned, and rode the horse slowly. Aside, Jin Xiaotang seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled and said, "Brother Ayu, can you still not look at the slave trade?"
"Yeah." Lin Muyu nodded, "All men should be equal."
Jin Xiaotang was a little surprised, sticking out his tongue and smiling: "But this is not the case in this world. Some are born emperors, like His Royal Highness Yin, and some are born slaves, such as these people in front of them."
Lin Muyu said: "If these slaves were released and given them deserted land for cultivation and planting, and part of the cost of food was collected, would the value they could generate be greater?"
Jin Xiaotang was taken aback again: "Maybe Brother Ayu is right, but Xiaotang hasn't thought about this..."
Wei Qiu whispered next to him: "Commander, do you want us to use the funds of the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce to buy the strong men in this slave market at a low price, give them freedom, let them take up arms and be loyal to the country?"
"no."
Lin Muyu shook her head and said, "This will only make the slave trader even worse. One day I will change everything from the root."
Wei Qiu was stunned and was silent.
Perhaps as Lin Muyu said, this status quo needs a change to change it.
What can change
There is nothing more than a sacred edict from the Empress Qin Yin, to amnesty the servants of the world, grant them complete equality, compensate and appease those slave masters, so that everything can be fundamentally changed, but it takes time and a lot of time.
…
With the sound of horseshoes intensive, after passing through several city gates, he finally arrived at the core area of the slum area. From afar, a city patrol knight came with a war horse, his face full of fat, and respectfully bowed to Lin Muyu. He saluted: "Subordinates see Lord Commander, I don't know who this general is?"
Wei Qiu pointed to the Longdan Camp emblem on his chest, and said lightly: "We are from the Longdan Camp."
The knight naturally understood who the handsome leader was in front of him, and hurriedly saluted: "Subordinates, see Commander Yu..."
Lin Muyu nodded: "What is your name, what are you responsible for here?"
The knight said: "The villain is called Zhang Lei, who belongs to the Imperial Ministry of War and is responsible for patrol missions on this street."
"You are the only one in such a big street?" Lin Muyu was surprised.
"Yes, the Ministry of Defense does not have so many troops to share, and... There are thousands of streets like this in Dongcheng District, which is a lot of trouble to patrol, so the assigned troops are also very scarce."
"If you want to come here, the security must not be good?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.
Zhang Lei was stunned for a moment, clasped his fist and said: "Qi Zhenyu is commanded, his subordinates are here, very few people are provoking troubles, please command Mingzhen."
"Okay, don't say so much, take me to the main altar of the Tianjue meeting, I want to see Situ Sen."
"what?"
Zhang Lei's face was amazed.
"Why, don't you dare to go?" Wei Qiu sneered.
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Then... the subordinates just brought the leader to the gate of the main altar of the Tianjue Meeting, and then they didn't go in."
"Okay, let's go."
"Yes…"
Zhang Lei turned on his horse, took Lin Muyu and others straight to the end of the street.
At the end of the street, there were no more poor people, but they turned into a group of people wearing brocade clothes. Between the dilapidated buildings, a black platform rose from the ground, standing like a group of chickens in the slums. The main altar of the Tianjue. Wei Qiu, Feng Xi and others couldn't help but secretly admire that Tianjuehui was really extraordinary, and the momentum of this building was already comparable to that of a princely mansion...
When Zhang Lei came to the front of the mansion, several people in cyan armor laughed loudly: "Hey, Zhang Lei is all over, why are you here again? Why, the hot and sour rice that I asked you last time was not enough. Hot and sour?"
Zhang Lei rode his horse back several steps with an iron face.
A few Tianjue members in the compound immediately rushed out, grabbed the reins, and forcibly pulled Zhang Lei off the horse. One of them laughed and said, "You dare to take care of the nostalgic affairs of our Tianjue meeting? I'm getting impatient, come here, give the uncle a few bangs, and I will let you go back and continue to lead your tolerance work."
Zhang Lei's face was very ugly, and he looked at Lin Muyu and others for help.
And at this moment, the disciples of the several Tianjue meetings turned around and saw a thousand dignified and powerful gentian empire soldiers standing behind them, all of them pale.
Lin Muyu stood up and got off the horse, and smiled faintly: "Lin Muyu of the Imperial Army Gentian Camp asks to see Situ Sen, and please pass me on."
"You... You..."
The other head looked dead gray, and said: "The Imperial Army never comes to our Rotten Water Street, what do you think of the Longdan Camp?"
Wei Chou's face was cold, his sword was half out of its sheath, and he shouted in a low voice, "If you don't go to pass the message, do you want to die?"
"Yes... Yes, you guys wait a moment..."
Several Poppies let go of Zhang Lei and rushed into the mansion in a panic.
Zhang Lei said with a look of shame: "Leader Yu, his subordinates have humiliated the empire soldiers for..."
"It's okay." Lin Muyu said with a gentle expression, "It's because the soldiers who are sent here are too few, and the Heavenly Decision will be too rampant. It's not your fault, but you are suffering here."
"Subordinates are not bitter..." Zhang Lei said tremblingly.
"Go, leave the matter here to me."
"Yes…"
…
In about a cup of tea, the Longdan Camp outside the mansion has been waiting extremely impatiently. Many people are arrogant and look like they will rush in at any time to kill the guards. The guards outside the Tianjuehui's gate are terrified. Pale, the atmosphere did not dare to say a word, these people in the Tianjue meeting could only dominate the civilians. Once they encounter a regular army like the Longdan Camp, they will be frightened.
At this moment, a warrior wearing a fire-red armor and a long sword walked out and smiled respectfully at Lin Muyu: "It turns out that the leader of the rain is coming. I am one of the five chiefs of the Tianjue Association. My name is Zhou. Nian, Master Situ Sen has prepared the banquet, and I invite Commander Yu to come in with us."
"Thank you." Lin Muyu clasped her fists and smiled, pressing the hilt of the saber around her waist and stepping into the door. Wei Chou, Feng Xi and others got off their horses and rushed in with the Longdan Camp.
Zhou Nian hurriedly turned around, with a little embarrassment on his face, and said, "Lord Yu, forgive me, the place where the main altar of the Tianjue meeting is too small to accommodate too many people, so...you can only enter five people."
"Yes?"
Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "Wei Qiu, take three people with me, Feng Xi and Xu Jiantao, you two take everyone to stay outside."
"Yes..." Feng Xi and Xu Jiantao said in unison.
Wei Qiu smiled and said, "If the leader and I don't come out within an hour, you will go back to the camp and gather an army of 20,000 gentian battalions to razor this day's meeting."
"Yes…"
"Protect Xiaotang." Lin Muyu exhorted, stepping on the stone steps of the main altar of the Heavenly Judgment Meeting without looking back.
