Some of the green skins are very particular about face. If you don't agree with each other, you can not only cut the meat on your thighs in order to fight for a breath, but also risk your own life for a promise. In this way, most of the green skins have titles such as "chivalry" or "righteous man".

There are also green skins who don't care about the so-called face at all. Having money is a father and a mother with milk, and you can give up your skin for the sake of profit, which is also the same green skin. This kind of green skin is usually called the lower three rotten.

"Gangster Tales by the Swamp" describes these two kinds of green skins very vividly.

Liu Ergou is the green skin between the two, and it is also a true portrayal of most of the green skins of the Great Song Dynasty - he can give up his skin for the sake of profit, but he is a bit forced in his heart, knowing what he can do and what he can't do.

To put it simply, as long as he doesn't let Liu Ergou be a dog for another race like Xu Baixiang, as long as the rest of the things are profitable, there is basically nothing that he Liu Ergou dare not do.

Things like catching Japanese slaves are typical of ability, not only capable, but also able to do a lot of things. Also, as Mr. Wu said, selling widows, Liu Ergou did not have the slightest psychological pressure.

And the final result was indeed similar to what Mr. Wu expected-

Not to mention Penglai County, even if you add all the surrounding counties, you can't buy all those widows. After all, the size of the widows themselves is small, and even if they are based on the principle of treating men as cattle and using widows as men, these widows will not be of much use in the effort of building roads and building bridges.

Therefore, in order to prevent these female laborers from smashing in his hands, Liu Ergou figured out the auction routine almost without a teacher, and then took charge of the work of a trafficker and auctioneer in Penglai.

"This ...... I don't know how old she is, but she looks about twelve or thirteen years old anyway. I can't speak human language, so I have to train slowly. Five-run money starts, and the one with the highest price gets. ”

"Six! Six dollars, is there anything higher? ”

"Seven runs! Master Chen bids seven times! Is there anything higher? If there is no ......"

"Eight runs! Master Li is out of eight times! Is there anything higher? It looks like it's gone, congratulations to Master Li......"

But what Liu Ergou, the scholar surnamed Liu, and the scholar surnamed Wu didn't expect was that Liu Ergou, a trafficker and auctioneer, had just started a little better, and the household department sent someone over to urgently stop the auction, and he didn't even wait for the first batch of widows to finish the auction.

"All the widows, as long as they are under the age of forty, have to pay five yuan each. It's the same with the ones you got later. ”

After all, he held the money bag of the Great Song Dynasty, and the little officials sent by the household department showed a wealthy posture as soon as he opened his mouth.

After pondering for a while, Liu Ergou asked tentatively: "Dare to ask the officials, are they all the widows?" ”

Although a good-looking widow girl can often fetch a dozen yuan for a dozen yuan, the quality of the widow is uneven, some are good and some are bad, and not all of them can be auctioned for a high price.

This also means that many widows can't shoot it, and they may end up smashing it in their hands.

Let it go, and work in vain. It's a shame to kill. Raising it, it costs food.

In short, those widows who can't be sold are more chicken ribs than chicken ribs in Liu Ergou's eyes, and they are tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon them.

Now the household department is willing to take over all the widows, even if one only has five yuan, but at least there is no need to worry about smashing the hands - Liu Ergou did not want widows over forty years old in the first place.

The little official of the Ministry of Officials nodded and said, "That's right, this official will say it again, it is all the widows who are not more than forty years old, and if there is one, all the households will be counted." Including the ones you got later, no matter how much you can get, the household department will also want them all. ”

Liu Ergou said tentatively: "Dare to ask the official, this widow ...... But what does it say? ”

"Say?"

The little official smiled dumbly and said, "It's just a widow, what can you say?" The household department bought it just as a concubine for those singles who migrated to Gansu and the political envoys of Jiaozhi. ”

……

"Earn big!"

After the people in the household department counted the number of widows and agreed to continue the purchase next time, Liu Ergou walked a little floating.

3,000 widows who were purchased by the household department, plus the more than 200 widows who had been sold in advance, plus more than 4,000 laborers, Liu Ergou earned 38,000 yuan this time!

"Let's go! Let's go! ”

After settling the wages of the last time he went to sea and rewarding his subordinates, Liu Ergou couldn't wait to urge those Qingpi settlers to continue to go to sea to the Wa Kingdom.

Liu Ergou has calculated, as long as he makes a few more trips to the Wa Kingdom, he will soon be able to earn back all the money he used to buy warships and ordnance, and then he will no longer have to carry millions of debts.

Yes, Liu Ergou is now looking at the scenery on the surface, and he is very generous, but Liu Ergou is carrying millions of debts, which are basically debts for the purchase of Leizhou Navy Division and Quanzhou Navy Division warships and ordnance.

Anyway, the Imperial City Division is not worried that Liu Ergou will run away - the world is so big, if you dare to run, try it?

Liu Ergou naturally knew this in his heart, so Liu Ergou never thought about running away or anything, but just wanted to catch more laborers so that he could pay off his debts as soon as possible.

……

Who once said that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

Liu Ergou has a headache with millions of debts on his back, and Zhao Huan, who is rich all over the world, also has a headache, but Zhao Huan's headache is not money, but immigration.

With the gradual progress of the court restructuring and the official implementation of the tiered tax law, more and more landlords in the Great Song Dynasty have chosen to vacate part of their land.

And the result of clearing the land is that many people who originally planned to move out have chosen to wait and see-

If the government has land in its hands, does it have to sell it?

You don't have to leave your hometown to have your own land, who the hell will want to run out when they are full!

Then Zhao Huan and the bigwigs in the court began to have a headache.

It is true that the repossessed land is to be sold, but the repossessed land is enough to sell to several people? Besides, the vacant land in the Gansu and Jiaozhi political envoys is not a star, and if we don't quickly move the people to cultivate it now, do we still have to wait for those lands to grow food on their own?

Then Zhao Huan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, using the ultimate ultimate.

It is not to forcibly requisition millions of people to move over, but to send concubines!

That's right, go to the Gansu Political Envoy Department and the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, and send a concubine!

First of all, the Great Song Dynasty wants to be stationed in Gansu and Jiaozhi to the political envoys, and then there are ordinary people, as long as they are willing to go, they will send a little girl of the Japanese country, as for whether it is second-hand or original, it depends entirely on their luck.

Then the teaching department in Bianjing City had a headache.
