Because the Qi people provided security protection, and built a sacred object for the natives of the occupied city to worship near the port area - the fort, because the east wall of the capital city Indra Bura, which is adjacent to the Qi people gathering area, has been demolished, and the Qi people gathering area is considered to be one, but between the two sides, there is also a high wall separating it, which is a high wall built by the Qi people.

Just a wall apart, the old town of the capital of Champa and the port area of Qiren, it is like two completely different worlds, the dilapidated slums, the most common building is the straw hut, maybe a family of more than ten people are crowded in it, walking through the street, you can see these unclothed natives living in it, these untouchable households have no privacy to speak of.

It's dirty and smelly, it's good to be away from the Qiren Port District because of the strong demand of the Qi people, the more east, the more stinky it is, and even traces of feces and urine can be seen on the street.

Lu Ning rushed to see the life of the ancient Cham people, but now he regrets it a little, and there is nothing to see, and for the "sphere of influence" and "concession" of Daqi, although it was his own planning at the beginning, but now, it is completely different from the model he saw in later generations, and he can only develop by inertia, relying on the officials of Daqi to operate and maintain, and he can no longer provide any experience, ideas, etc., or rely on the long-term management of the officials of the Qiren Port District, the operators of the East China Sea Baixing, etc. Only then can we truly understand how Daqi's local territory and influence can survive for a long time, and what kind of relationship with the local natives is more realistic.

Now I know that the innkeeper heard that he was going to the old town, and he was very surprised why.

But obviously he is very good at observing words and feelings, and seeing that he is not an ordinary person, he will not ask what he does, and he knows that persuasion is useless, but he just said that it is better to prepare a sedan chair to go to the old city.

The labor force in the port area is all natives, and there are still a lot of people? How many wharves work? There are also various porters.

Lu Ning felt that it was boring to make a sedan chair, so he walked out.

But? Since it's already out? Lu Ning didn't turn around and go back immediately, but he didn't go to Xicheng, which looked dirtier and messier from afar? But look at a straw hut next to it, hanging a piece of tattered cloth? There is the word "horse" in Qi script on it? Lu Ning walked in.

Lu Ning and his party were five people.

Gan Yingxiu, Master Li and Xu Dongdong, who were following behind Lu Ning, hurriedly followed.

In addition, there are two white and pure men, who follow last.

Gan Yingxiu loves cleanliness more, but follows the Son of Heaven? The outside world? It's insignificant, and no one cares about it.

Two white men, one is named Liu Chenggui, the word is generous, and the other is surnamed Dou? The name Dou Shenbao, the word Xiaobao.

Liu Dafang and Dou Xiaobao were both adopted sons of the great eunuch Zhou Qian? They were also castrated from an early age.

There is no need for eunuchs in Luning Palace, and all eunuchs will be dismissed when Bianjing is captured? Liu Dafang and Dou Xiaobao were both seven or eight years old at the time, the same as eunuchs of about the same age? Sent to the Academy? After all? These children are so pitiful, Lu Ning hopes to give them a way out, and if they have talent such as accounting, it will not be a waste of human resources, rather than asking them to do coolies, and they must make the best use of their talents.

Later, Liu Dafang gradually showed his talent, in terms of calculation, etc., he was very talented, and he had his own set of views on the study of weights and measures.

Dou Xiaobao secretly ran to join the army, although he was a eunuch, he was extremely strong and invincible, but he was finally discovered as a eunuch, which caused an uproar.

A few years ago, Lu Ning was very surprised when he heard that there were such two eunuch figures.

Liu Chenggui and Dou Shenbao, if you are a little interested in the history of the Song Dynasty, you will know these two great eunuchs.

Because the group of eunuchs in the early Song Dynasty was really special, and there were some talents, even Tong Guan, who had also wiped out Fang La, and Liu Chenggui and Dou Shenbao were two of them extremely outstanding.

The two of them are one scholar and one martial arts, if Liu Chenggui is not a eunuch, I am afraid that he will definitely become a generation of famous ministers, Rao is a eunuch, but in the end, he is also the identity of the above generals and festival envoys, and he has a deep study of weights and measures, and in this world, he is even more like a fish in water.

In this way, the prodigy Tanhua who he once tried in the palace has the same name as this eunuch Liu Chenggui, and he made a mistake.

As for Dou Shenbao, in history, he guarded the northwest and resisted the party, except for being stingy and loving money, there was no other stain.

Both were born in the same year, and they are both twenty-five years old this year, and they are twenty-four years old if they are false.

Although they are all talents, since there is no need for eunuchs in the palace, in order to avoid re-triggering this trend, it is Lu Ning who did not let the two enter the palace.

As for the eunuch who was appointed as an official abroad, Lu Ning felt that something was wrong, so he still had to observe and observe.

Therefore, when the two were in Bianjing, one devoted himself to practicing martial arts and reading military books, and the other studied knowledge, and only when Lu Ning left the palace would he occasionally take the two of them.

Now go to the South Seas, and advance by land and water, and go down to the South Seas to meet with the Zhenyi Female Camp in southern Myanmar, if the war goes well, maybe he will show his identity and personal conquest, and win a greater prestige, so he also led the two of him to observe their real talents.

On today's trip, I also called the two of him.

The first woman stood up immediately, took two steps, and stammered something, as if to say something like "Master Wanfu", but the pronunciation was vague and weird, and the original voice could not be heard at all.

Gan Yingxiu looked around, and hurriedly took out an orange handkerchief, wanting to spread it on a rotten wooden stake next to it.

Lu Ning waved his hand: "If you don't sit down, just stand and chat with them." ”

The native woman has already held a wooden sign in both hands in front of Lu Ning, Lu Ning looked, this thin piece of wood, written densely in the Central Plains, obviously the native woman or the operator behind the native woman asked Qi people to write, but it said that the earth city is dirty, if you want to go to the city to act or tour, and do not want to sit in a sedan chair, you can ride these native women, called "earth horses".

Later, the price is clearly marked, saying that it is best for a person to hire two or three "earth horses", so that it can be transferred, the speed becomes faster, each "earth horse", two copper plates per hour, and ten copper plates per day.

It is also said that these "earth horses" have great strength and are very comfortable to ride.

Lu Ning was stunned, and then he understood why these women had wide cloth pads similar to saddles on their sides, and they had a kind of pads sewn on their knees and elbows.

Looking at the thin and withered bodies of most of these local women, Lu Ning was a little helpless, of course, in terms of income, although this work is tiring, if someone can do it for a full day every day, it is three hundred wen a month, three months is consistent money, four dollars a year, four silver dollars, it is absolutely astronomical in the local area, although the real behind-the-scenes boss is absolutely ruthless, but looking at the expectations in the eyes of these local women, you know that this job can bring them a lot of longing and hope compared to their previous lives.

Nowadays, the aristocracy enjoys life, relying on a lot of manpower, but in Daqi, this kind of situation of directly treating people as horses and riding them even for a few hours and a day, at least Lu Ning doesn't know, after all, it looks too oppressive, not in line with the values of the Central Plains, the sedan chair and the like, in fact, the work is the same, but it is not so direct, and it is standing instead of crawling.

"Let's take a look." Lu Ning made a gesture and asked the leader of the native woman to take the wooden plaque to show Gan Yingxiu and the others.

Lu Ning was looking at things, and the three of them naturally wouldn't come up to watch, even if they could see it at a glance, but they didn't squint, and they stood in a solemn manner.

The three women are all dark green military uniforms with attractive curves, berets, black military boots, heroic and youthful and lovely, and there is a unique cold and glamorous temperament of female officers, which is even more amazing in this world. They all have military belts tightly tied around their waists, and their waists are really brimming and unbearable, and the long pole runner fire guns hanging from their waists are like sharp thorns on these magnificent roses.

Gan Yingxiu looked at the wooden card, and was also a little surprised.

Then, it was Liu Dafang and Dou Xiaobao's turn to play the wooden cards.

Liu Dafang looked at the wooden card, and immediately smiled and said: "Master, these barbarians are really a great blessing, and you have to admire this...... The dignity of Muye ......"

Lu Ning's face immediately collapsed when he heard this, after all, in future generations, "respect" is ironic, which is completely different from today.

Liu Dafang was startled, thinking that he had figured out the wrong holy will.

Lu Ning immediately shook his head angrily, and gestured: "Yes, just hire three of each person, and you don't need them to camel." ”

In fact, there are only more than ten of these barbarian women, which is equivalent to hiring them all.

"Yes, yes!" Liu Dafang nodded, walked up two more steps, gestured to the barbarian woman, and even took out the copper plate from the money partner, one by one.

Eleven barbarian women, each of whom hired ten copper plates a day, a total of one hundred and ten wen.

Lu Ning frowned and said, "What about giving them the usual money?" ”

Liu Dafang hurriedly laughed, "Yes, yes, the blessing of being able to hump the master, how big is that?" Although they can't hump their masters, they are a little bit on the side, and each person is divided into 180 copper plates is the appearance, and they will turn around and transfer each one to become a master. ”

Lu Ning rolled his eyes in his heart, but there was no joy, anger or sorrow on his face, and he couldn't easily show his emotions in front of his subordinates.

Liu Dafang has talents, but this flattery, if he reuses it himself, he will definitely be a courtier in the future.
