As early as thousands of years ago, there was a slave system. As a slave, he would use it, beat, scold, and kill at will, just like livestock.

However, slavery is really not suitable for the development and progress of mankind, so it gradually disappeared into the long river of history, at least in the Han, Tang, Song and other countries.

However, I know that the Khitans, which are mainly tribal systems, still have more or less slavery in many areas. Some tribal leaders are still very cruel and harsh to their serfs and herdsmen.

Therefore, Xiao Chiliang's question now happened to be asking me whether I need strong slaves to do the construction.

I was still pondering and hesitating. If we want to say manpower, our Three Kingdoms City is indeed short of people, but if slaves were introduced, it would definitely be a big impact on our Three Kingdoms City system. At least Dad Lauren, who regards himself as a "civilized man", will definitely oppose it firmly. Maybe he would chase me with a stick and fight.

Seeing me burying my head, Xiao Chiliang smiled again, "Little brother, don't think so much, I'm not saying anything else. But there are farmers who have lost land and are so poor that they can't afford to eat. If you can support them and their families, I will have a way to let them follow you. How about it?"

Not a slave to the Liao Kingdom!?

I was surprised and then thought about his current detailed proposal.

Just by listening to them being able to sell people in Japan, you will know that the power of the Khitans in Japan is deeper than I thought.

At the same time, I also know that although Osaka and Sakaimachi are so prosperous, except for the hundreds of miles around, the large islands of Kyushu, Honshu and Shikoku, there are indeed many poor people who have lost their land and cannot afford to eat. They sell their children and daughters to starve to death every day.

"Do you often buy these farmers?" I asked suddenly.

"Buy..." Xiao Chiliang answered subconsciously. When he found out that he had missed, he laughed, "Oh, it's not just buying it, it's just helping the nobles here solve some problems so that these farmers will not become hot potatoes and cause them trouble."

If there are too many farmers in one place who have lost their livelihood, they will have to leave their hometown where they are dragging their children and search for a way out in another place.

So they became refugees.

If there are too many refugees in a place, then these people who have no livelihood, cannot eat enough and have no warm clothing will bring great trouble to the public security of this place. Even many riots and uprisings start with hopeless refugees.

Therefore, how to deal with these refugees has become the biggest headache for those officials and nobles.

The Song Dynasty was better. I heard from the master that those rich gentry and temples would distribute porridge in the most difficult times, etc., so that the refugees could get through the difficulties. In addition, the court brought them to those remote areas to explore new land, so no matter what, there was still a way out.

But Japan is different. The land here is very small, with mountains everywhere, so there are only a few land suitable for cultivation. In addition, the lords and daming men have continuously annexed the land, causing countless farmers to lose the land they depend on for survival, displaced and miserable.

There is no extra land in Japan to migrate to farmers, but in this case, if these farmers are sold and sold to other lands, it is undoubtedly a good way to solve the problem. And you can get a sum of money, which is really a killing two birds with one stone.

It happened that the Khitan Kingdom was vast and sparsely populated, and they liked to call slaves very much. However, the slaves were very rare, so some nobles from the two countries hit it off, and thousands of farmers and their families were constantly shipped to the Great Liao Kingdom by ships, and then sold by those nobles to those in need.

After thinking through the whole process, I suddenly became calculating and frowned and said, "My lord, if what I expected was, these farmers could only be sent to your Liao Kingdom as a burden in Japan, right? Now you are still going to sell them to me at a high price. Isn't it a bit too unkind?"

"How could it be a burden to give it away? We spent real money!" Xiao Chiliang quickly denied.

"Even if you spend real money, it won't be in line with my wishes." I said sincerely: "Or I only have strong men and young women. I can count the price for you to buy these."

"Uh...this won't work." Xiao Chiliang shook his head repeatedly, "We must accept the farmers' families. How could we buy only the most essential parts? We also want such a good thing."

"That's your own problem, I don't care." I said lightly, "Anyway, I want people to work, not to support them."

My coldness and meanness made Xiao Chiliang really embarrassed. Knowing that this young master was not easy to fool, the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to sell at a high price in his heart has long faded a lot.

"Do you think this is good..." Xiao Zong, who had been listening on the side, was anxious when he saw that he could not agree on the agreement. He simply gritted his teeth and said, "We will find you ten thousand farmers, including no less than ten thousand strong men aged fifteen to forty, no less than twenty thousand women aged thirteen to forty, and no more than fifty thousand women aged thirteen to forty, and a total of no more than fifty thousand people. How about it?"

I heard Lianlian shook my head, "There are only 30,000 people who can use it in total, but there are 20,000 people who eat with their mouths. No, no!"

"Oh, my young master!" Xiao Zong was really anxious, not even the title was given. "Among these 20,000 people, at least 10,000 are children under the age of twelve. Isn't it possible to use it after raising it for a few years? Besides, no matter whether it is a child or an elderly person, it is impossible to do any work! You use it hard, it doesn't matter if you are tormenting to death, there are many bastard slaves here in Japan!"

"The ratio of the number of people is not good." I still firmly disagree.

"What do you think of?" Xiao Zong pulled the collar of his neck and said, without looking at it, he knew that he was very anxious.

Xiao Chiliang knew that such anxious negotiations would be a disadvantage, so he wanted to interrupt a few words, but Xiao Zong looked at him with cold eyes. Xiao Chiliang thought about it again and again and could only shut up.

Although the failure of the mission of chasing the former queen, Bossa Sage, most of the reasons will be blamed on Xiao Zong, they will definitely not escape punishment, so Xiao Chiliang is still willing to cooperate with Xiao Zong's method to buy some fine wine that the court has always dreamed of to reduce his guilt.

but……

No matter what, such negotiations do not hurt one's own interests. At most, the Japanese nobles are at a disadvantage. Let Xiao Zong go. The changeable words of the words make a lot of sense.

"The number of 10,000 strong men remains unchanged, but I want 30,000 young women, and the age cannot exceed 35, and the extra ones do not count. In addition, the number of children can be relaxed to 150,000, but the number of elderly people can only be 10,000." After some thought, I responded like this.

"Okay! You can do whatever you want!" Xiao Zong agreed without thinking, "Then why do you calculate the price of the fine wine for me? How much fine wine can you exchange for?"

"As long as you meet my requirements, then 50,000 kilograms of 'hero blood' will be yours."

"really!?"

Xiao Zong was so happy that he could never have imagined that he could get 50,000 kilograms of peerless wine in this way, which was simply so happy!

It’s a matter of calculating that a person can sell 700 or 80 taels of gold, which is more expensive than the war horses and cattle and sheep that were drawn on the grassland. It’s so good!

"I never tell lies." I said with a smile in a harmonious voice, "but you should move quickly. I have to stay here for three days. I will not accept anyone in three days."

"Okay, OK! No need...Oh!"

Xiao Zong was halfway through his words, and Xiao Chiliang stepped on him.

In pain, looking at Xiao Chiliang shaking his head and indicating that Xiao Zong was finally smart and swallowed the words in his mouth.

"Little brother, although the number of people you need is a bit difficult, let's work hard to achieve it." Xiao Chiliang looked at me heavy, "I want to ask our partners, what price would you give if you provide strong men and young women alone? Wine or gold is fine."

"The 'Hero Blood' is only 50,000 pounds, but there are still many 'Beauty Fragrance' and 'Drunk Fairy Brew'." Since I have become a slave owner, I am not shy and said quickly, "I still sell it at a price of 10,000 pounds, and it is still a double share. For every time you provide a strong man or woman, I will give 10,000 pounds of gold. Especially for young women, if they reach 10,000, they will directly increase to 20 ounces of gold. You can ask for money or fine wine."

Since the Shibunai City group joined us, there are more men in Liuyin Harbour now than women. For the sake of the happiness of the majority of men, they will find more women for them, thereby increasing childbirth and further enhancing the strength of our Liuyin Harbour Three Kingdoms City. That is simply necessary.

After a pause, I said again, "But remember, if you break up someone's family and kill their wives, men, or children, I don't want any of them... If you go to me, you won't be serious about your work, but will cause me a lot of trouble."

"Okay, don't worry, little brother, we know the right way." Xiao Chiliang smiled, "In Japan, many families have children like pigs giving birth to zombies. It is really common for three sons and five daughters in a family. But their family only has so much land. Brothers and sisters who are not assigned to the land can only find food by themselves. We don't have to force plunder, we just have to tell them that there is a way out there. I believe you will also give them a way out, right?"

"Of course." I smiled, "If you become our people, you need to protect them well, and at least let them contribute thirty years to me."
