Liu Ruyi, a female poet, whose real name is Yang Ai, is also known as Hedong Jun, she has deep feelings for her family and country and political ambitions, Xu Tianxiao once commented that "her ambition is noble, her actions are generous, and her words are euphemistic and intense, and non-true patriots can't." ”

At the time of the death of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Ru once said to Zhang Pu: "The Central Plains is boiling, and it is necessary for the great heroes to come out and fight the rebellion. If I am a man, I will save the world and serve the country with my body! ”

Zhu Youxiao went to see the story of Qin Huai Bayan in his previous life, and even went to watch "Banqiao Miscellaneous", especially the story of Liu Ruyi, he read the most and was most familiar with it. Although Zhu Youxiao is not 100% sure that the little girl in front of him is Liu Ru in the future generations of celebrities, but from the current point of view, this little girl's life experience seems to be compatible with the legendary Liu Ru is everything.

"Liu Aizhen wants to take it away. Baozhu, Liu Ai will be handed over to you, raise her well, and find her a good husband in the future. Zhu You said to Zhang Yan. Liu Ru is unfortunate in history, since she can meet Zhu Youxiao in this grade now, Zhu Youxiao can't help but want to help her.

"No. The concubine must do her best to cultivate her. Zhang Yan gently stroked Liu Ai's little head and said.

"Liu Ai, don't thank you yet." Wang Liqian reminded.

"The people's daughter Xie Huang Longen, Xie Queen Mother Longen." Liu Ai said as she fell to her knees.

"Hurry up." Zhang Yan helped Liu Ai up and said.

"Your Majesty, there are a few more outstanding ones, but they are not here, so the minister will call them all." Wang Sai'er said softly.

"No need, no one will use it yourself." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

……

After leaving the orphanage and returning to the palace, before Zhu Youxiao could speak, Wang Liqian himself pleaded guilty.

"Check, this matter must be strictly investigated, if even my money dares to be greedy, is there anyone in the world who he doesn't dare to be greedy?" Zhu Youxiao said angrily.

"No." Wang Liqian didn't dare to breathe.

"I believe you, you and Li Yongzhen let Dongchang strictly investigate this matter together, if there is any embezzlement, the family property will be confiscated, and everyone will be assigned to build roads." Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"No." When Wang Liqian heard that Zhu Youxiao did not hold him accountable, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

……

In this embezzlement incident, Wang Liqian himself was almost implicated, and in his anger, he found out that he did not have any mercy at all, and directly investigated and punished more than 10 people, and confiscated as many as 100,000 taels of family property.

At the beginning of October, a ship transporting female slaves from the Satsuma Domain arrived at Tsukiharto.

When the ship arrived in Taiwan, Zhu Youxiao had already received Yan Siqi's request for instructions about the slave trading ship. Zhu Youxiao privately acquiesced to Yan Siqi's behavior. However, for the slave trade, Zhu Youxiao has three clear requirements, the first is that only female slaves are allowed to be traded, the second is that black slaves are not allowed to enter China, and the third point is that they are only allowed to trade in Yuegang. Anyone who violates these three articles shall be punished by death and the proceeds shall be confiscated.

With Zhu Youxiao's tacit approval, Yan Siqi's slave ship sailed from Taiwan to Yuegang. In the Ming Dynasty, the slave trade could not be carried out with great fanfare, and the news could only be passed on by word of mouth.

Xu Xinsu was the master of this slave trade, and he used his own way to make the news of the slave trade spread throughout Yuegang. More than 12,000 female slaves were plundered from the Satsuma Domain, and they were transported from the Satsuma Domain in five batches.

Today is the first batch of arrivals, and the time of the slave trade every day is also clearly stipulated, only two hours, the hour and the hour, and the rest of the time is not allowed to be sold, and the location is selected on a small island by the moon port.

When the time came, the first slave trade of the Ming Dynasty officially began. In business, Xu Xinsu is very researched, there are still many businessmen who have not yet gone ashore, the first is the most beautiful, the older female slave, the larger grade mentioned here is actually the largest grade is only in her early thirties, and the price is also the cheapest.

Although many of the people present were poor people, in people's consciousness, they always thought that good goods were behind, which led to the first batch being cold as soon as they came up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this batch of female slaves, the oldest grade is less than thirty, buy it home and raise it for a few days, and you will be able to give birth to your big fat boy in the future, you will have someone to inherit the lineage, don't hesitate." The toothman shouted.

Yaren's words are true, which has resonated with some people, and even some of the people present were untouchable before, although Zhu Youxiao abolished the lowly status, but they are facing a big problem in marrying a wife, and now even ordinary civilians marrying wives are a problem, not to mention those who are from a lowly background.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are not satisfied with the price, you can make a price, I can tell you, there are only hundreds of female slaves transported this time, and there will be no next chance if you miss this opportunity." Seeing that there was some effect, the tooth man immediately said again.

"Do you want to sell half a silver dollar?" A silver-haired man shouted.

"You're too ruthless, cut it in half, see that you are the first business today, I will be the master to sell it to you, you pick one." The tooth man pointed to the ten slave girls on the stage and said.

"The third one on the left." The man said, pointing to the fattest one.

"With vision, she used to be an official's wife." The tooth man complimented with a smile.

After the tooth man finished speaking, he ordered: "Bring the person over there and go through the formalities with this master to sign a contract." ”

"Anything else? It's a rare opportunity! If you miss this time, you really don't know when the next time will be. "After the tooth man made the first order, he was in a good mood.

"I want half a tael of silver, too." Someone takes the lead, and someone will definitely follow suit.

……

In one hour, the tooth man sold one hundred and fifty female slaves, and the price was half a tael of silver.

The businessmen invited by Xu Xinsu were almost all here at this time, and this group of talents was the main force in today's trading.

"Shopkeeper Xu, you female slaves are too bad, if it's still like this below, I'll have to go." The merchant who came early was already waiting a little impatiently.

"There will be good goods soon, and the front is just a hot field, don't I have to wait for all the bosses to arrive before I can get good goods?" Xu Xinsu explained with a smile.

After Xu Xinsu finished speaking, he made a gesture to the people below, and the people below ran to the camp of the slave girls with understanding. In a short time, five women dressed up were brought.

"This first woman's name is Tamaki, she is the Oiran of Tsurumaru City, this is a veritable Oiran, it is rare to see one side in Tsurumaru City, the price is fifty taels, and the highest price will be won." The tooth man said loudly to the people in the VIP seats.
