Chapter 282. Wong's scam
After five days of traveling in Yamatai and fighting inexplicably, Wang Houshi finally embarked on the journey back home.
This trip he overturned, three ships, almost people next to each other under the deck, a total of 42,300 Japanese slaves, almost filling the lower cargo holds.
The more valuable goods such as pearls are full of ten hundreds, ten complete coral trees, and a lot of strange gem crafts of the Japanese Kingdom, and the heavier goods are copper!
The Wa Kingdom is a large island squeezed out of the sea by the intersection of plates, and the mineral resources are really much more than in Huaxia, and it is currently out of the Bronze Age, and the copper smelting technology is good, anyway, there is no need to build a large number of weapons in a short period of time, and even Zhonghu gave Wang Hou the copper of this batch of official workshops.
Copper in the Han Dynasty itself is money!
While looking at the blue sea and blue sky, Wang Hou was still playing with his heart, tilting his head slightly, he said suddenly to Tian Rang, who had been smiling and groaning beside him.
"Tian Weng, after I go back, I think I should send some clansmen over in the corner of Liaodong to open up a few granges, so that the next time I travel to the country, it is good to replenish supplies in the corner of Liaodong, and I don't have to carry too much food at one time, so that I can load more goods in the space!"
"What the state pastor said is even!"
As soon as he heard this, Tian Rang agreed to come down as kind.
He didn't know Wang Hou's calculations.
The soil of Liaodong has always been fertile, and it is also rich in products, as long as a bridgehead is built here, once the Japanese route runs more, there are more travelers passing through here, and the Qingzhou people who want to make a fortune here will have.
And the grassroots nature of the people of this era, let's reclaim the land when they come! Before he knew it, the Liaodong Peninsula would be developed by him!
When Wang Hou was there to move his heart, he didn't pay attention at all, and a pair of eyes behind him were also staring at him hatefully.
Returned by horses that day, Taiyu was not locked under the cabin like an ordinary slave, but stayed with Wang Hou.
But now she guesses she's going to be locked up below! In front of her, a large pot of Wang Hou's clothes soaked in soaphorn bubbles piled up in front of her, she had to wash them, she had been pampered in the palace since she was a child, where did she do this rough work, and a pair of small hands were red when she washed.
But just as she was gritting her teeth and staring at Wang Hou, her little buttocks were smacked and shook.
Following Wang Houming, Zhuge Ying's girl is becoming more and more perverted, pushing her work to Taiyu, and she is still proudly dangling the whip, scolding majestically with her little nose.
"Hurry up and wash! I can't finish washing it today! Sister, I'll serve with a whip! ”
Language communication barrier, what did she say, Taiyu didn't understand it at all, but the whip could cross the language, and under the triumphant pressure of Queen Zhuge , the heir to the throne of Yamatai had to bow his head sadly and continue to wash his clothes.
In the "happy" all the way, the three Qingzhou galleons returned to Qingdao Port without danger.
In more than a month, Wang Hou's Qingdao city has obviously prospered a lot, relying on the port built of wood and concrete, and there are a few more ships, and the first batch of sugar beet squeezed from the cane sugar should be ready to be shipped.
On this day, Wang Hou's return voyage was simply empty, and even the farthest local tyrant in Jimo County came in a carriage, and surrounded a not too big wharf, because Wang Hou brought back the most sought-after goods in Qingdao City today.
Workforce!
Now Qingdao's sugar beet planting base is really profitable! Although the first batch of ripe beets is still being squeezed in various workshops! It did not appear in the market in the form of sucrose, but the reward promised by the government has come, two stones of sugar beets and one stone of wheat, or the equivalent of copper money cloth, that is really one hand to deliver grain and one hand to deliver the goods will never be in arrears, many poor and poor people in Chengyang County who can't even afford to eat food are now saving the first warehouse of grain.
This looks at the eyes of those wealthy scholars who are distributed in unison, they are almost in a hurry, and their mud legs can wear silk shoes, and these old men in the past are still sitting and eating empty, how can they do it?
But they are really not good at farming, and the sugar beets they grow are all malnourished.
What's more, they can't recruit homeless people now! There is an official government to grab business with them! The displaced people who came to Qingdao to open up the wasteland were directly issued hoes and farm tools, interest-free loans for several months' rations, and they could give you as much land as they could.
The only advantage these Qidi families have now is that they still have savings from hundreds of years of exploitation of tenant farmers, and they desperately need to exchange these savings for cheap labor, and these sold slaves can just fill their needs.
Almost as if it were to show off, more than 4,000 Japanese slaves were tied up with ropes, pushed and shoved off the boats, and one by one they were driven to the governor's palace, and the landlords who came over to see it were about to flow out.
Especially in the finale, there are more than a dozen carts unloaded with slaves, and all the big boxes are pulled on the car, as if they are deliberately afraid that others will not know that they are valuable things, and the word gold is written in simplified Chinese characters, and the heavy cart at the beginning did not take two steps, and deliberately fell to show off his wealth, with a click, a box fell wide, and a large number of shiny gold ornaments fell down cracklingly, and the top was the half-pound sun headdress.
"Wow...... are all gold?"
Seeing Wang Hou's subordinates hurriedly stuff all these gold ornaments back into the box, the crowd suddenly boiled!
In order to play an advertising effect and prevent this group of unconscionable people under his command, Wang Hou also set an example, and he also brought this Japanese slave in front of his horse, and this Japanese slave is naturally our little princess Taiyu.
Looking at the golden sun headdress, she almost subconsciously wanted to grab there with one of her small hands, but she was immediately pulled back by the stiff handcuffs, and her small hands were handicaled on both sides of her body, and she could only look at this ancestral gold ornament representing the inheritance of Amaterasu, which was thrown back into the box by Wang Hou's personal soldiers.
The little hand was a little out of shape and shook the flail angrily, and the little girl simply gritted her teeth angrily.
Holding Tai Yu's waist, Wang Hou didn't care about the movement of the little slave in front of him at all, and his attention was all attracted by this gold ornament and the expressions of the crowd after seeing this gold ornament.
It's good to be greedy, I'm afraid you won't be greedy!
However, even if there is no last resort, Wang Zhoumu also miscalculated, pretending to be forced with a slave, "gold" returned to the yamen located in Qingdao City, only when he came in, there was a bang behind him, the door was slammed shut, and he obviously felt a murderous aura, abandoned Taiyu, turned over and dismounted, Wang Hou wanted to slip away, who knew before he could run! Behind the door, Cao Hongjie, who was angry and crazy, had already blocked Xiao Man's waist in a military uniform, and at the other end of the main hall, carrying a wide dress, Lu Ji was also very imposing, and walked down the steps.
There is also the poisoner Jia Xu, who showed a vicious gaze, and retracted his head back into the signing room, quietly listening to the excitement.
"That, it's hard work for my husband to go to sea, it's full of hardships, so ......, don't you slap your face?"
Seeing Cao Hong's temperament forced in front of him, crying with an old face, Wang Hou was sad to hug his fists and ask for mercy, but he glanced at Lu Ji behind him, and the two girls raised their small fists together.
Ding~
"Oops......".
Taiyu, who was still riding on a horse with her neck and small hands, was simply stunned, and after a while, her pupils suddenly lit up.
I can be regarded as finding a way to punish this big demon!
