"The general doesn't seem to get along with them. The little one came to Ma Yi two months ago, and he knows Ma Yi well, hoping to help the general. Anshak said courteously.

When Anshak was in the cabin of the White Wave, he saw that the White Wave and the group of scholars sent by the Political Affairs Hall did not deal with each other. At this time, Bai Bolang came to his cabin, most likely for Ma Yi's wealth. This wealth is not yet the share of those bachelors!

"Those nerds, the officials raised them so that they don't eat the fireworks of the world, how do you know that we, the soldiers, were born and died, but ate bran vegetables. Alas, no more. This time, General Ben needs at least three million guan. Bai Wave said with a sigh.

Bai Bolang said too seriously, his financial constraints are just because he has too many people in his family, his mansion is the best mansion in Taizhou, and his wife and children can form a standard reinforced platoon. If you add the long-term workers and family members of his mansion, you can't count them.

But he used to be a water thief, only knew how to rob, and now he is a general of the water division, and he only knows how to wait for the court to make money, but he doesn't know how to operate. There is no land, no shares in the workshop, so naturally you have to sit and eat.

On the other hand, his soldiers were taken by him and did not listen to the discipline of the military advisor, and Bai Bolang often rewarded those soldiers out of his own pocket. His demotion has a lot to do with the fact that he did not bring good soldiers. The political affairs hall did not remove him from his post, which already gave Zhao Ji a lot of face. If this mission is not done well, he will most likely be sent to the Patriotic Academy for reshaping. At that time, a little scholarship from the Weiguo Academy was not enough for him alone. His family probably had to drink the northwest wind.

It was the fear of being sent to the Patriotic Academy that he needed a large sum of money to arrange his family.

"The general can rest assured that the pearls, coral trees, and sunken trees of Mayi are inexhaustible. Three million is just a small amount. As long as the general can allow me to join you, it won't be a problem. Anshak still hopes to be able to know how Shen Kuo's three major inventions are used first, so that they will not be controlled by others. At the very least, he Anshak also has the capital to stand on his own.

"Tens of thousands? General Ben is not so greedy. General Ben knows what you mean, but this is a taboo in the army, and if it is known, I am afraid that your life and I will be at risk. Bai Bolang was not blinded by a large amount of money, and he was not at all confused on some major issues of right and wrong.

In fact, as long as he has the first pot of gold, then he can obtain the equity of the Mayi Copper Mine Development, which is an inexhaustible wealth.

"You big food merchants are really greedy and inhumane." Xia Yanbin walked into the cabin and said.

Xia Yanbin was the sea merchant who once provided Zhao Ji with weapons, grain and grass transportation during the attack on Jiaozhi, and the "Bright Eye" in Zhao Ji's hand was also given to Zhao Ji by the King of Champa through his hand.

"Xia Dongjia, how do you say this?" Ignoring Anshak's surprise, Bai Bolang turned around and asked.

"A few months ago, there was a large number of black slaves sold in Shangjing. That's what they do as big cannibals. They took the natives of Mayi captive to Shangjing and sold them in large quantities. There are many wealthy families in Shangjing, and they are very rare for black slaves, but they have made a lot of money. What pearls, coral trees, sunken wood, these things are expensive, but they are difficult to sell. Xia Yanbin explained.

Bai Wave's partner in investing in Mayi Copper Mine is this Xia Yanbin, and the condition of the partnership is that Bai Wave does something to hide the best copper mine, and then lets him bid. Then, Bai Bolang will invest a sum of money in the copper mining farm in the name of his family, so that he can get a share. The collusion between officials and businessmen in later generations also worked well for the Song Dynasty.

Bai Bolang is not afraid of being exposed, even if it is exposed, it will be investigated, and the people involved are also the bachelors sent to him by the Political Affairs Hall, because the four universities also want to take shares. This also means that those bachelors will not let such a thing happen, and even if it happens, they will deal with it behind their backs, or even cover it up.

The Song Dynasty was a very incorruptible dynasty, at least in the Northern Song Dynasty. Once the corruption incident is discovered, it will not die, but the career will be over, and it will be spat on often.

This is much fairer than in later generations. Later generations generally found out, at most, the officials concerned were locked up for a few days to calm down the people's anger, and then secretly transferred away and went to other places to continue to be high-ranking officials. This is the reason why later generations of officials like to embezzle. As long as you have money, you can't be an official here, so you can go to other places to be an official.

"Hahaha, there are so many slaves on Mayi Island, it's normal for us to buy some and transport them to Shangjing to buy them. Moreover, the slaves were still very willing, and they were all vying to sell them to the Great Song Dynasty. Da Song is better than Ma Yi, as long as those slaves have passed the ten-year service period, they can be freed, and they don't have to worry about being killed. We have also accumulated some yin virtues. Anshak said confidently.

The historical country of Ma Yi also died suddenly for no reason. It seems likely that their demise was all to be sold as slaves to China. And the people of the Great Song Dynasty in history will not do slave trade, and those who trade slaves and cause the extinction of the country of Mayi will only be those big cannibals who are accumulating yin virtue.

It is also recorded in history that in the Philippine Islands, the first civilization with a written language was the Sultanate of the Celestial Religion. This shows that the Great Cannibals were the first colonial country to engage in the most inhuman slave trade, much earlier than Western Europeans. Later, their descendants weakened in the Philippine Islands and were again considered indigenous by the Spaniards and used for enslavement. Speaking of which, it's really a report and a report!

For the Mayi people, it is indeed their luck to be sold as a slave to the Great Song Dynasty. Because there was no slavery system in the Great Song Dynasty, they could be freed after serving for a maximum of ten years. You can even earn a sum of money to settle down in the Great Song Dynasty.

In Mayi, as in most of the region, brutal slavery prevailed. They were most fond of human sacrifice, with a large number of slave sacrifices. Therefore, for slaves, being sold to the Great Song Dynasty can be said to be their ideal.

"There will be no place for Mayi in the future, and the official family has made a decree to change Mayi to Jinzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Road. Since it is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, then those natives are also the people of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter who betrays slaves in the future, they are waiting to be arrested as human traffickers. Bai Bolang glared at Anshak, unhappy, and said with a righteous face.

Bai Bolang was indeed very unhappy, in his opinion, it was because he followed Zhao Ji to conquer the Tiansun Kingdom, killed many people, and arrested the natives of the Tiansun Kingdom as slaves. In the end, he was reprimanded by the political affairs hall, saying that he was messing around with Zhao Ji. The great achievement of destroying the country finally became a crime, and he was demoted instead.

This survey of Mayi, speaking of which, is also to destroy the country of Mayi. However, Ma Yi Kingdom is too backward, even more backward than the natives of the Tiansun Kingdom. There is no talk of destroying the country, and it can be done by directly surrendering. This time, Bai Bolang became cautious and decided to adopt the method of Shen Qi in Mingzhu County, according to the system of the Great Song Dynasty, to release all the slaves, and then arrange for the natives to form families in an orderly manner and recruit them to the copper mines as miners.

It took ten days to sail to Mayi, which was later the port of Calera in the Philippines. Although the current Mayi refers to the entire Philippine Islands, the place where there are really people, that is, around this port of Galera, most of the area of Mayi is uninhabited.

The White Wave fleet was not the only one to arrive, but it was the only fleet consisting of three warship fighting ships, all heavily armed soldiers, probably more than five hundred people.

The other merchant ships that arrived did not panic when they saw that they were the warships of the Great Song Naval Division, but they still consciously gave way to allow the fighting ships to enter the natural harbor now known as Mayi Harbor.

When I came to Mayi, I found out. Those Great Song merchant ships who came to trade bought only two things, one was land, and the other was slaves. They were preparing to use slaves to open up a farm in Mayi. Ma Yi's land is not too cheap, a piece of clothing, you can change it to an island, and then exchange it for some slaves, you can choose a fertile land, open up land and build a farm. Compared with Zhao's large-scale development, such selective construction of farms is indeed much lower in terms of development costs.

The news that Mayi was going to be included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and that the official family was going to open a copper mine in Mayi had already spread. Bidding for copper mines, only wealthy businessmen have that strength. Ordinary small businessmen, although they don't have that strength, but they also see opportunities. To open a copper mine, it is necessary to have a large number of miners, and if there are miners, there must be food. If you grow grain in Mayi and sell it to the mine in the future, you can also make a lot of money. Moreover, if Mayi is to be developed on a large scale in the future, they will become big landlords.

However, the population of Mayi is too small, with a total population of only 30,000, and they can't buy many slaves, and what they buy more is land. Moreover, slaves did not know how to plant, and if they wanted to build farms, they had to rely on long-term workers recruited from the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, you don't have to buy land, you just need to occupy it. However, if they don't buy it, there will be no land deed signed by King Mayi with them in the future, and the Great Song Dynasty will fully develop Mayi in the future, then they will not be able to become big landlords.

A king of Mayi dressed in silk clothes was introduced to Bai Bolang by Anshak, and Bai Bolang looked at the king of Mayi who was tattooed all over his body but wearing silk clothes, and felt funny, this dress was really a bit nondescript. However, it can also be seen that this King Mayi is living a good life. A large number of merchants came from Guangzhou, and he must have obtained a lot of good things by selling land and slaves.

King Ma Yi's eyes were staring at the Qinglong knife held in Bai Bolang's hand, this is a military saber, or a general-level general, it is impossible for ordinary people and merchants to buy it. Although there is no unsheathed, you can appreciate the power of the Qinglong knife from the smooth shape of the Qinglong knife and the exquisite workmanship of the scabbard.

The Ma Yi people traded with the Song people, mainly to buy the iron tools of the Song people, they themselves did not have smelting skills, and occasionally some bronze tools, and the weapons were all sold to it by the Song people. The general transaction price is: a good quality Pu knife can be exchanged for four pearls, and each pearl can be brought back to the Great Song Dynasty and can be sold for a price of 100 guan. And the quality of the Pu knife, the price in the Great Song Dynasty is up to 500 Wen.

The saber of the white wave is the Qinglong sword, and the price of ordering it from the workshop is 300 kan, and if it is sold, it will be at least doubled. It's just that you can't sell it, you don't have a license, and selling military weapons is punishable by death, especially soldiers, the equipment on a soldier's body is worth thousands of yuan, and if it is sold by a soldier, it is enough to be a rich man.

But no soldier dared to sell it, and those who sold weapons privately had to be beheaded. Moreover, the use of weapons in the army is very strictly controlled, and the weapons in the hands of soldiers are inspected every day, and soldiers have no opportunity to use weapons alone, nor do they have the opportunity to sell them. If you go home on vacation, you can only use the weapons you bought to defend yourself, and the weapons in the army cannot be taken out of the barracks.

King Ma Yi was looking at Bai Wave's knife, and Bai Wave was also looking at the wooden stick in the other party's hand. The stick was smooth to the king's touch, and it was crimson throughout, and the branches were straight and hard, and the glowing trunk was as warm as jade.

White Wave naturally didn't know what kind of wood lump it was. But Anshak knew that it was made of dragon's blood tree, and in terms of value, it was at least dozens of times that of the White Wave Green Dragon Knife.

The Dragon's Blood Tree is a very expensive tree that is used to make bows and crossbows, which is a rare bow for a hundred years. And the dragon's blood tree is the sacred tree of Ma Yi, representing the divine right of King Ma Yi. It's impossible to buy either.

Anshak translated King Mayi's words: "General Bai, the king is asking you, how many pearls does the knife in your hand need to call?" ”

It is impossible to use Jiaozi in Mayi trading, and Jiaozi will only be regarded by Mayi people as leaves to wipe their buttocks.

Bai Bolang didn't say a word, he was a general and had the right to give away the saber. I saw him slowly draw out his knife, and the two green dragons on the smooth knife body flashed with black cold light, and the mirror-like blade was in the tropical sun, with the shaking of the white wave wrist, like a bright lightning, passing in front of King Mayi's eyes.
