Section 730 The eldest grandson who does not hesitate
As a result, Zhang Yue and Nimi quickly finalized the basic remuneration of this transnational matchmaking and Wusun.
First of all, it is the basic qualifications of the woman.
Under the age of 25, no disability, healthy, and good facial features.
Then, on this basis, different grades are separated.
Fourteen to eighteen is a grade, eighteen to twenty is another grade, and twenty to twenty-five is also a grade.
For each grade, the matchmaker's remuneration is one gold apart.
That is, seven, six, and five respectively.
In addition, depending on physiognomy, skin color, and other special circumstances, the matchmaking can be increased accordingly.
The highest, can reach 500 gold.
Finally, there is a supplementary clause.
That is, if the value of Wusun Baomei exceeds the tuition fees that should be paid for international students.
Then, Wusun can ask the Han family to buy any goods that Wusun wants at the official price.
Ordnance included!
Zhang Yue even patted his chest and assured that the cost of media protection could break through the restrictions of the Han law.
It can even be allowed that Wusun can use these funds to buy steel weapons made in Shaofu!
This made Nimi overjoyed!
Steel weapons, or are they supplied openly and purchased at the official price of the Han family?
This......
It's a lot of money!
Almost immediately, Mudmi's eyes turned red.
Wusun, located in the north of the Tianshan Mountains and south of the Green Mountains, is surrounded by neighbors, not too many.
It's just......
All poor!
is also a healthy house, which can subsidize life.
There is no way, the Western Regions is the back garden of the Xiongnu.
Especially in order to compete with the Han for hegemony, the Xiongnu set up the king of Rizhu and the servant commander in the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu's oppression of the countries in the Western Regions became even more powerful.
Basically, most of the kingdoms of the Western Regions need to pay tribute to the Xiongnu every year.
And after paying tribute, its own wealth will be greatly reduced.
If the Wusun people go to rob these countries, I am afraid that the income will not be as good as the cost of sending troops.
Therefore, Wusun is actually very helpless.
I had to go to Kangju to get some autumn breeze under the banner of 'protecting the Han Dynasty business travel', and by the way, I got some benefits from the Han Dynasty.
And now......
It's completely different!
There are very few hard currencies in this world, and there are only a few things to count.
Gold, jewels, furs, cheese, iron, silk.
And most of them were in the hands of the Han Dynasty.
Especially ironware!
In the known world, only the Han Dynasty had the technology and ability to mass-produce and manufacture high-quality ironware.
Now, Nimi knows that from now on there is one more hard currency that can be mastered by Wusun - women!
In the Western Regions or west of the Green Mountains, there is a lack of everything, but there is no shortage of people.
High-nosed, dark-haired, brown-eyed, blonde, and even dark-eyed.
The whole nine yards!
For the Wusun people, there is only one thing they need to do now.
Send out cavalry, kill them, and you can bring back a woman denominated in gold.
Moreover, it is a long-term stable trade.
Perhaps, after deducting all kinds of expenses for trade with Han, Wusun will still be able to make money!
Just thinking of this, Nimi's eyes became extremely determined.
This trade must be done!
Zhang Yue looked at the muddy expression and sat down quietly, as if he had just done a trivial matter.
But the excitement in my heart is hard to hide.
Confucius said: The initiator, there is no aftermath?
Later Western colonizers were originally engaged in the slave trade by instigating wars in the black kingdom.
In the beginning, more than 90 percent of the black slaves were captured by their compatriots of the same color as them, but with different positions.
In the beginning, the black kingdom of those slaves was also very strong.
There are even people who have studied in the West, and have close ties with powerful political leaders and even kingdoms such as Spain and Portugal, and even establish alliances.
But in the end......
These kingdoms all perished in the West.
The former slave owner and victor became a prisoner and a slave.
Therefore, Zhang Yue knew that as long as the Wusun people got on this ship, they started a bloody trade.
Then, they can't stop moving forward.
In the end, they will send their own people to the Han family with their own hands.
Because......
In today's era, in addition to the Zhuxia nation, they have their own identity and know the meaning of siblings.
Other civilizations/kingdoms/nations have not established any identity at all.
The Xiongnu clan and the royal family of Wusun never felt that their herdsmen and slaves were in the same group as them.
For these slave owners, it is about the same status as the herdsmen of their own country and the farmers of foreign countries.
Unlikely, there is a mentality of favoritism.
Therefore, Zhang Yue is now like a soup cook.
He was not in a hurry at all, waiting for this pot of soup to boil out the fragrance and taste.
…………………………………………
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Yue took the 'good news' he had discussed with Wusun last night, found Liu Jin, and reported the matter.
Liu Jin listened, dumbfounded.
He never imagined that there would be such an operation?
The Han family used the quota of Taixue to easily knock on the income of 5,000 gold?
Even more exaggerated......
The Wusun people are still willing to send their sisters to pay for the tuition?
The only problem is – it doesn't seem very humane......
Of course, Liu Jin knows what means the Wusun people will use to be this 'matchmaker'.
Left and right are but plundering other countries.
This made Liu Jin feel a little uncomfortable.
Although, he has now almost accepted Zhang Yue's concept of 'His Royal Highness is the eldest grandson of China, not the eldest grandson of Yidi', and 'Yidi in the Spring and Autumn Period'.
However, in my heart, I still have resistance to those brutal and terrible things.
After all, his book was not read in vain.
Compassion is something that everyone has.
He could already imagine that the Wusun would do everything they could to attack the unsuspecting kingdoms and people, kill their warriors, burn their towns, kidnap their women, separate their fathers and daughters, separate their husbands and wives, and destroy their families.
And all this is just to send the five Wusun nobles to the Han family and enroll in Taixue.
Just to exchange iron and silk from the Han family.
"Zhang Qing......" Liu Jin was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "In this way, isn't it that every book Taixue has will be stained with blood?" ”
"If the students of Taixue know about it, how can they sit in peace?"
Tai students are a group of young people full of ideals and enthusiasm.
The morality they insist on is, in their view, more important than Mount Tai.
If they knew, those five Wusun students came to Chang'an to study with infinite sins and blood debts.
I'm afraid that these Wusun people will be beaten to death by the students!
Zhang Yue listened, smiled slightly, and bowed: "Your Highness, the minister heard that His Majesty had said: If you have extraordinary merits, you must use extraordinary people!" Now, the family has been ordered to protect the river and protect the government, renovate the world's water conservancy, and build an immortal feat! ”
"However, in the hands of the family, there is no good way to motivate the people and boost morale!"
"Sima Fa said: The military reward does not exceed the month, and I want the people to do good for it quickly!"
"As the proverb goes: There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!"
"And at present, there is no such reward!"
It doesn't matter if you build a canal or a canal.
It's all heavy, hard and boring.
Although the people who were recruited were paid, the state also managed the food.
But......
The officials of the Kanto Prefecture are all greedy and plucking their feathers.
These scum, even the normal field tax and oral endowment, dare to play countless tricks.
It is a certain thing to start with the wages and food of the people!
However, the prince is soft-hearted according to this person, and he may not be willing to be ruthless.
So......
Zhang Yue could almost imagine that those places where Liu Ju was out of sight would definitely have big news.
There was big news about the protection of the Ruozhi River, and there was even a civil uprising.
Can Zhang Yue run away?
Can't run away!
Those who start the culprit will be blamed.
Perhaps, in order to shirk responsibility, the Son of Heaven and the Prince will let him take the blame.
Push the responsibility to Zhang Yue's head!
Moreover, the odds are very high!
Because, normal rulers, will make such a choice.
Therefore, Zhang Yue had no choice but to patch Liu Ju and do as much logistics as possible.
Liu Jin listened, but he didn't know why.
He couldn't imagine that Zhang Yue was so far away, and he didn't know that Zhang Yue was worried that he would take the blame.
He asked softly, "What does Qing mean?" ”
"Your Royal Highness......" Zhang Yue bowed and said: "Starting a family and starting a business is the fundamental desire of the people of Chinese ......"
Not to mention now, in another two thousand years, the same will be true.
In order to get married and buy a house, all six wallets have been turned upside down!
Countless people have become house slaves, and many more people want to be house slaves but can't get them!
even envied the life of a house slave and took becoming a house slave as his goal......
You can imagine how powerful this tradition is!
As for now......
Ninety-nine percent of Han people have the ultimate goal of starting a family!
And it's a pity......
In later generations, when getting married, men must not only give a bride price, but also have a house and a car.
Nowadays, it's pretty much the same.
In addition to the dowry, the woman's family will also inspect the man's family conditions and property.
Although the requirements are not as exaggerated as those of later generations, there are some basic conditions.
For example, the man must have at least one house......
Otherwise, marry your daughter and sleep with you?
Then, there must be at least one piece of land belonging to the man, and the area must be at least thirty acres.
Otherwise, the man has to master a promising technique.
For example, iron smelting, carpentry, masonry, medicine.
Otherwise......
Most people can only survive this life alone.
Or, marry a widow with a dowry and children......
Especially the remnants of the bottom!
In many places, except for the eldest son, who is married, the other sons are single.
This has led to social chaos, banditry, and law and order.
No way, you can't expect a person who doesn't even have a wife, has never had a full stomach in his life, and doesn't know how to warm the world to obey the law.
But......
With Wusun as a matchmaker, everything will change!
Judging from the tuition fees of the five Wusun international students, there are at least a thousand exotic women.
Zhang Yue believes that in order to maximize profits, the Wusun people will definitely send women of higher value as much as possible.
For example, an exotic girl under the age of twenty who is waiting to be released.
And these poor people are given as a reward to the best of the migrant workers who control the river.
Zhang Yue believes that in this way, it will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the people's work, eliminate their grievances, and make them more patient.
After all, those who can go to control the river and repair the canal must be the remaining children who have no wives and families.
Now, a blonde, blue-eyed, convex and backward girl has fallen from the sky.
As long as you work hard, you can take it home after the project is completed.
For the sake of this girl, Zhang Yue believes that the people of Kanto will definitely be active.
Of course, words cannot be said directly.
It was too naked, and it didn't fit the context and moral standards of the Zhuxia nation at all.
Therefore, Zhang Yue had no choice but to use tactful words as much as possible to say to Liu Jin: "Your Highness doesn't know anything, he doesn't know the king, he doesn't know the king, he has no benevolence and righteousness, his vulgar and cheap women, evil women ......."
Zhang Yue mixed some customs of Ah San in later generations and the activities of burning witches in the West, and briefly introduced Liu Jin.
If a woman marries a man, if she does not give a dowry, she will be burned to death.
If there is an epidemic in any village, it is suspected that a woman is doing something wrong, and it is also burned to death.
From the age of eight, the women are responsible for the entire work of the family, while the men bask in the sun under the trees.
In short, let's talk about how miserable it is.
Liu Jin burst into tears, and his compassion was even more uncontrollable.
"Zhang Qing......" Liu Jin sighed and said: "Yidi, is this really the case?" ”
"Your Royal Highness......" Zhang Yue bowed: "Yi Di is like a beast, and what he says is ...... if he is not a minister."
At present, the public opinion circles of the Han family, regardless of whether they are left or right, whether they are modern or ancient, have the same attitude towards Yidi.
The only difference is just a faction of opinions, Yidi or something, don't care, just let them fend for themselves.
The other faction held high the banner of righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period, advocating the punishment of Yidi, and even more radical education of Yidi.
Under the tug-of-war between the two factions, all kinds of ideas are mixed, and all kinds of appalling remarks are staggering.
At the beginning of the crossing, Zhang Yue didn't know why, thinking that the Ram School was the most ruthless against Siyi and the Huns.
But now, he already knows.
The ram mind, in fact, is relatively mild!
The most extreme are Gu Liang, Zuo Chuan, and Simeng, these people who were influenced by Mencius's thoughts.
The ram only thinks that 'Yidi is like a beast' - he argues that Yidi is similar to a beast, but it is not incorrigible, and it can be saved after education, so that they can be human again.
Gu Liang and Zuo Chuan already felt that 'Yi Di was born of neutralization and qi, and the royal road could not be transformed'.
was directly expelled from Siyi's 'person' status, and he didn't even have the qualifications to rescue!
Other ideas such as killing soldiers, Mo Ru and kissing are actually just superficial problems brought about by this trend of thought.
What is really profound is the mentality of extreme contempt and discrimination against Siyi hidden in the hearts of these people.
This point, later at the turn of the Yuan Dynasty, has been vividly interpreted countless times.
Liu Jin was of course indoctrinated with similar ideas.
So listening to Zhang Yue's words, he nodded and said, "Qing's words, it's very true!" ”
In the education he received, the Yidi group has no etiquette, no morality, no benevolence and righteousness, Ru Mao drinks blood, father and son live together, and even has a terrible tradition of stepmarriage.
Completely unethical, unimaginable, incomprehensible!
It's just a spicy chicken pile!
What's more, he's actually just an otaku.
In recent months, following Zhang Yue, I have seen some grassroots situations and understood some people's livelihood and hardships.
As for the far-flung and exotic things?
He hasn't seen it again, and it's not that Zhang Yue believes what he says?
I listened to Zhang Yue and said: "Your Highness, do you still remember what you saw and heard when the ministers and Your Highness inspected Xinfeng?" ”
"Do you remember the situation of the remnants of the old peasants?"
Liu Jin listened, and immediately recalled what he had seen and heard.
At that time, the farmers of Xinfeng were yeoman farmers and they were also poor.
Many people's homes are surrounded by walls, let alone marrying a wife, and it is very difficult to eat.
Liu Jin has seen a family of four brothers, crammed into a dilapidated house, around a bonfire, roasting voles.
The eldest of them is thirty years old.
The youngest brother is only eighteen years old.
Everyone is ragged and thin!
It is precisely because of witnessing the tragic situation of these people that Liu Jin will now support Zhang Yue so resolutely!
Because, in the past few months, he has seen the changes in Xinfeng.
When he came back this time, Liu Jin specially took people to go on the original journey again.
I saw the house of the four brothers again.
Now, the four brothers have rebuilt the new house.
In front of the house, a cow and a horse were tethered.
In the room, I even saw two women in coarse linen.
Liu Jin inquired and learned that the eldest of the family, three months ago, was recruited by Xinfeng Workshop Park to work, relying on diligence and steadfastness, he was appreciated by the workshop owner, and was appointed as a steward, with a monthly salary of 500 yuan, so all of a sudden there was a matchmaker to come to kiss, and finally married a widow who lost her husband.
Although the other party brought children, he also brought a dowry.
After the eldest got married, the second eldest also married a daughter-in-law soon after.
Because, the second child of this family is good at ploughing the fields, hard-working, clever and sensible, following the county agricultural officials to learn, mastering the technology of repairing and assembling quyuan plows, cocoons, and waterwheels, becoming one of the few technicians in the village, and also entered the county's food fighting officer sequence and became a temporary worker.
Therefore, a landlord in the village married his daughter to him.
is the third and fourth, and now, they have all talked about family affairs.
The life of the family is prosperous.
After Liu Jin heard this, he was full of emotion, and in his heart, he was extremely firm.
Now, listening to Zhang Yue mention this time, I think of what I saw and heard at the beginning.
Liu Jin lowered his head, he knew very well that Guanzhong was like this.
For the poor people in Kanto, I'm afraid the situation will only get worse.
The sympathy and pity in my heart burst out in an instant.
Yes, the woman of Yidi is pitiful.
The civilians of Zhuxia are also pitiful.
If the Wusun people send those poor women to the Han family, let the government be the master, and marry those wiveless men.
The merit is immeasurable!
And Zhang Yue's last words completely crushed Liu Jin's defense.
"Your Highness, in this way, you can kill more birds with one stone!"
"The poor woman of Yidi can be cherished by her Chinese husband, and the Chinese husband will not sleep alone, and His Royal Highness can also use this to help the family, so that the family can control the river smoothly!"
Just this sentence made Liu Jin stand up, let go of all the burdens, and said: "In this matter, the orphan will personally play Chang'an, and report to the emperor's grandfather and father......"
"If you have permission, the lone general will personally interview the envoy of Wusun!"
For the sake of my father, but also for the remnants of China and the poor women of the Western Regions.
Liu Jin no longer has any scruples.
At this moment, he even gave birth to a kind of unhesitating mentality.
"Whatever a lonely does, all are the world's ......"
"All parties are guilty, let them all be alone......"
I have to say that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is really touching sometimes.
Zhang Yue listened, and bowed down: "The minister is obeying the order!" ”
