Ding Chuan paused for a moment and couldn't speak, but Huo Hongming often fought and didn't react very much, and asked, "Are Miss Chen's group of prisoners of war?" ”

As soon as this statement was raised, these black family members were relieved, and it would be easy to explain if it was a prisoner of war. Although they treat the natives equally, they also help the natives develop production, let the natives open shops in the Black Iron City, and even let the natives study in the Black Iron City, but for the indigenous tribes who dare to resist, the Black family has never been soft, and has always defeated them, sent the prisoners of war to the mine or sent to the wasteland, and used them until they die. Therefore, the fact that the Hei family was able to quickly gain a foothold on Yizhou Island back then was also related to the large number of prisoners of war at that time. But after hundreds of years, most of the natives on Yizhou Island are already very obedient, there are no enemies, and naturally there are no prisoners of war, so the Hei family is too short of people.

Chen Wenhui asked strangely: "What happened to the prisoners of war?" Did you all use prisoners of war before? ”

Huo Hongming knew that the group of people Chen Wenhui was talking about were not prisoners of war, otherwise he wouldn't have asked so. Although he was very curious about the identities of these people that Chen Wenhui said, Huo Hongming still patiently explained to Chen Wenhui about the use of prisoners of war in Black Iron City before.

After Chen Wenhui heard this, Chen Wenjun said at this time: "Well, this method has existed since ancient times, and our Chen family is also like this. Our Chen family has been at war with the barbarians all year round, so there are many casualties, and there are also many prisoners of war, and the things of mining, farming, and doing heavy work in our territory are all handed over to prisoners of war, and these prisoners of war will be used until they die. However, there is no shortage of people in our Chen family, because we have always been fighting, so this prisoner of war has never been missing. ”

Huo Hongming smiled bitterly and said: "Our Yizhou Island is surrounded by the sea on all sides, where is there an enemy? The only ones are the natives who have lived here for generations, and it was okay to fight the resisting natives, and then. There are captives, but now you see, these natives have become the peripheral forces of our black family, how can they not cherish other people's lives. Where are the enemies, and where are the battles? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Then your overseas bases, isn't there a war? ”

Huo Hongming said: "Of course, everywhere you go, you will encounter obstacles from the locals, and those Nanyang natives are different from the natives of Yizhou Island. The natives of Yizhou Island are hardworking, capable, and reasonable, so we quickly became friends, and now we are close to each other, and our black family believes that the natives are better than the three major families. But the natives of the South Seas. Short, dark-faced, like a monkey, but also accustomed to treachery, lazy to eat. When they saw that we had developed, they came to grab it, and of course we went to war with them. Most of them were defeated by us, so there were many captives. That's how our mature cities came to be. But as time went on, these timid natives retreated into the jungle, and where did we go to find the captives? ”

Chen Wenhui said helplessly: "If people don't come to mess with you, you won't mess with others." You're really in love. Actually, without enemies, wouldn't you become enemies of these natives? Why can't you be someone else's enemy if you have to be your enemy? Those who are not of our race will have different hearts, and those who are not the descendants of Yan and Huang, we naturally don't care about their life or death. As you said, these people are greedy and shameless, and if you don't destroy them, when they have recovered their strength, won't they come to beat you? Do you have to let your blood spill on the ground to count? Want me to say. If there is no enemy, we will create an enemy, and if there is no war, we will create a war, and development is the last word. He doesn't care so much. ”

These words came from the mouth of such a delicate little girl, and these black family members were shocked. Huo Hongming was thoughtful.

Chen Wenhui looked at them and knew that they had been learning for a long time, and there were too many moral shackles in their hearts. The memories of her previous life told her that those natives of the South Seas were white-eyed wolves that could not be raised. There are too many things that happened in the previous life, often the Central Plains just gave them assistance, they can kill the Chinese immediately, such people are better than killing.

These black family members should not do these things that exterminate the human race, and if there is no way, let the people of the Chen family do it, so that it is better, so that they can have a large number of indigenous prisoners of war, and they can cooperate with the black family and share more benefits. Thinking about the mines in Nanyang, the fertile, land that can grow crops all year round, her heart itches. Be sure to think of a piece of the pie.

Chen Wenhui said: "We won't talk about these, let's talk about the current cooperation first." These hundreds of me are from the Japanese country, and they have voluntarily sold themselves to work in our country, just to earn some money to go back and support their families in China. None of them have to go back. The people of the Wa Kingdom are several times worse than the people of Nanyang, and it is also a scourge for such people to stay, so it is better for us to use them until death. The dead are the most loyal, and there is no need to worry about loyalty. In the future, we will continue to transport people from the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, and Silla, so the problem of manpower is easy to solve, and we just wait for the money. By the way, don't suspect me that I want to be greedy for these people's wages. I'm really going to ship their money to their country. In this way, we can attract more Japanese people to work. ”

Now everyone understands. But there is still a little awkward in my heart, after all, these black family members believe in both love and non-attack, and all of them love and care, naturally including these overseas people, they don't have the experience of Chen Wenhui in their previous life, so naturally they will not understand the disadvantages of these inferior people, so they are a little repulsed in their hearts, but this is not the business of the black family. The black family recognizes others as the main one, but it is not that the black family believes in both love and non-attack, but it cannot ask the master to also believe in both love and non-attack.

Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, I'll ask my sister-in-law to transport those hundreds of widows with our family's fleet when I go back, do you also want to send more people to Xinguang City with my sister-in-law?" ”

Ding Chuan looked at the hall masters, and when he saw that everyone nodded, he said, "This is okay." I just don't know who Miss Chen wants? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I want to have more people from Meixiutang, because there are more people in Meixiutang in Heitiecheng, and there is no shortage of people like other churches, and my family's Cuijin Building is very short of people." Not only do I want to stay in Xinguang City for a while, but I also have to go to our workshop in Huzhou. It will take about a year to come back. Of course, I give a high monthly income, and if you don't want to come back then, you can continue to work for a few more years. By the way, in our headquarters in Huzhou, Cuijinlou, there are many advanced embroidery methods, and you can learn them for free when the time comes. ”

This one made the cold and rainy day of Meixiutang moved. The ones with the fewest disciples in overseas territories are the Calligraphy and Painting Hall and the Meixiu Hall. There are few disciples in the calligraphy and painting hall, and most of them are engaged in educational work. Meixiutang is different, Meixiutang has many disciples, and of course there is also a lack of workers. Because Meixiutang not only has a large number of skilled embroiderers, but also many male disciples who specialize in silkworm raising and weaving. Most of these people are highly skilled, but there are too few weavers. If it can be combined with the Chen family, the Chen family will produce weavers, and the Meixiu Hall will produce disciples to guide, so that in the past, a disciple could only produce one piece of cloth a year, but now a disciple commanding one hundred and ten weavers can produce one hundred and ten horses, or even more cloth. That Meixiutang has not developed yet?

Not to mention that you can also learn different embroidery methods, as well as different weaving methods.

But with so many preferential conditions, they can't cover the pain of leaving home. The people of this era take their hometown very seriously, they have lived on Yizhou Island for generations, and they are no longer separated from this land, and now they are a little worried about going to the unknowable Central Plains.

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly, took out something from his side, this is something that Chen Wenhui has always carried, Chen Wenhui handed it to Leng Yutian and said, "Leng Hall Master, what do you look at this?" ”

I looked at it carefully on a cold rainy day, this is a piece of fabric, not the familiar silk satin, the texture is strong, mild, and there is no cool and slippery feeling of silk, but it is different from the roughness of kudzu cloth and linen.

Chen Wenhui said: "This is now the Central Plains is very popular cotton cloth, because the output is not large enough, so it is only sold in the Central Plains, it is expected that next year in the northwest of the land began to grow cotton on a large scale, there should be a part of it can be sold overseas." ”

Leng Yutian was surprised: "Cotton, I know this in the classics." This is the land where the child was born in the Western Regions, and it is woven from a white flocculent material made of something called a cotton stack. But it's the first time I've seen the real thing. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The embroidery girl I want is to go to my Chen family's Cuijin Building, where there are several workshops, specializing in making zuò ready-to-wear, which are sold in many cities in Dachu, and have the best embroidery." A large number of highly skilled embroiderers are required. The weavers went to one of my family's affiliated families, the Lan family, to weave this kind of cotton cloth, and I hope that your exquisite skills and hundreds of years of experience will help us to study more delicate and colorful cotton cloth. In the future, cotton cloth may replace linen cloth, and kudzu cloth will become the main cloth of the people. Even, delicate cotton cloth became the main cloth of the upper class. We cannot afford to miss an epoch-making development in this way. ”

These words made the cold rainy day's heart surge, and he was about to agree.

Chen Wenhui also said: "The reason why I let the people of Meixiutang go to the Central Plains is that I want your people to learn technology, because I will also plant cotton overseas in the future and set up a cotton textile workshop, which is really to promote the arrival of the cotton textile era." ”

Only then did Leng Yutian understand Chen Wenhui's grand blueprint, and said without hesitation: "I'll go back and see if those people are suitable to go, and there will probably be about 300 people who can pass." I'll try to get as much as I can. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded with satisfaction.

Turning around gracefully, he firmly faced Huo Jingcheng, the hall master of the Alchemy Hall. Huo Jingcheng's heart trembled, my God, this girl can't be the idea of the Alchemy Hall, right?
