The elders, dart masters and others who accompanied them at the banquet began to laugh forward and backward, and later, they were also stunned and amazed at Zuo Shaoyang's concentration. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ten singers were so tired that they were panting, and they couldn't make Zuo Shaoyang's body react, and looked at the chief helplessly.

The chief smiled awkwardly and waved his hand: "Okay, you can step down, the magic power of the Dharma King is extremely profound, not an ordinary man, you can't do it." ”

Only then did the ten singers step back, and one by one they bowed their heads in shame.

Zuo Shaoyang sat down with a smile. The chief sneered: "They are not powerful, they are all blowing, don't laugh at the king." ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "To be honest, their room skills are already quite powerful, and they have met me today, if they are replaced by other men, they will lose their armor and collapse the army." Hey, hey, hey."

This sentence immediately made the chief happy again: "Haha, so my silver is not in vain, hahaha, then the king will leave them behind, right?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, these ten singers have been trained in Qinglou since childhood, and the room technique is indeed very good, and they may be able to use it in the future, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you so much!" ”

"Great!" The chief said happily to the ten women in Tibetan: "Listen, ten of you, in the future, your master will be the first Dharma King of Zhangxiong, Master Zuo Shaoyang, and you should serve the Dharma King well and obey His Hoking's orders." ”

The ten women were busy owing blessings and agreeing, all of them with happy faces, because in their eyes, it was a supreme honor to be able to serve the Supreme King.

The chief said to Mei Duo in Tibetan, "Protector Mei Duo, you can now help your Dharma King choose the remaining twenty female slaves." ”

Mei Duo got up and saluted, walked over with a smile, and quickly picked out twenty. They are all physically stronger, and none of those Han women have been picked, perhaps they feel that they are not suitable for survival and are useless.

Taking advantage of this, Zuo Shaoyang asked Da Longxin in a low voice: "How many people do we have in Gangren Buche?" ”

"Gangren Buche is a mandala city, with less than 1,000 households inside and outside the city, about 5,000 people."

"How many men and women?"

"I haven't counted this, but there are more men and fewer women."

"Why?"

"Our Gangren Buche women are very beautiful, and the rich families of Xiangxiong Qionglong Silver City have come to us to marry women, we are too poor, and many women have married off."

"Understood, do we have an army?"

"In this ......, there is no special army in the entire Zhangxiong, and in the event of a war, men who can walk will have to go into battle."

"That's all the soldiers?" Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself, the population of the entire Gangren Buche is only 5,000, and it is indeed necessary to work hard to develop the population. Thinking of this, an idea popped up in his head, the emperor has a lot of daughters, the historical records record that Song Huizong has sixty-five children, Tang Xuanzong has fifty-nine, and Kangxi Emperor has fifty-five, why can the emperor have so many children, it is very simple, the emperor has many women, seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards plus three thousand beauties, and it is terrible for a woman to give birth to one. Therefore, buying more women is the best shortcut to quickly increase the population. Of course, it is necessary to avoid marriages between close relatives. At the same time, it is no problem to improve the survival rate, and there is no problem in this regard.

Therefore, buy more female slaves and go back to expand the population of Gangren Buche. However, the population is large, the consumption is also large, and the economy must be developed at the same time, Gangren Buche is a pure pastoral area, cattle, sheep and horses are the key, buy more of these things to bring back. Sooner or later, Tubo will attack Zhangzhung and destroy it along with its own sect, so it is necessary to use the elephant as a barrier to make itself strong first.

Zuo Shaoyang was thinking wildly in his head, and asked the chief: "The chief still has many girl slaves and craftsmen in his hands, I want to buy them together." ”

The chief was stunned for a moment, beckoned the housekeeper over, asked a few words in a low voice, and said: "At present, there are more than 500 female slaves and 200 craftsmen under my command, and most of these craftsmen are bought from Datang. A few elders had some more in their hands. Does His Holiness want to bring more women back to have children? ”

How to quickly increase the population was the first thing that every monarch had to think about, so the chief immediately guessed Zuo Shaoyang's plan.

Zuo Shaoyang nodded a little embarrassedly: "Yes, if the chief has surplus female slaves and craftsmen, I want to buy them with the chief, of course, at the market price." ”

Speaking of buying population, Zuo Shaoyang was pumping in his heart, feeling very awkward, but it was like this in ancient times, there was a population market, the government still had official slaves, and the human trade was also free. However, the use of illegal means to abduct and sell human beings is absolutely forbidden by all dynasties and dynasties, and it must also be severely punished.

The chief smiled and said: "Hehe, the king has already agreed to discuss the alliance with King Tami for the little king, if this can be done, without the king buying it, I will send two hundred female slaves and one hundred craftsmen!" How is it? ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly, thinking that he was not familiar with King Tami, what would he use to persuade others to form an alliance with you? Now everyone is afraid of Tibet, for fear that the alliance will arouse the vigilance of Tibet, and use this as an excuse to send troops to conscript. It's no more than healing or finding water.

However, the Tubo is eyeing the tiger, which must have been felt by Duomi, Subi has been annexed by Tubo, Duomi should have a feeling of cold lips and teeth, and even the weak to resist the strong is the only choice for weak countries and tribes to face strong enemies, so as long as you know the benefits, there is still hope to persuade King Duomi to form an alliance with Misan.

If he convinces him to form an alliance with Misan, the Tibetans will face a stronger enemy and will need to conquer for a longer time. This result is beneficial to both the male or the mandala of his Gangren Buche. As the Dharma King, Zuo Shaoyang's first consideration is how to make his territory Gangren Buche Mandala safe. So, he decided to do everything he could to do it.

However, before that, the conditions must be negotiated first, so as not to have time to grind.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "Why don't you buy it, I have money, I will try my best to do the chief's affairs, and if I can do it, I will pay according to what I said before." ”

The chief already knew Zuo Shaoyang's intentions, so he wanted to use this as a weight, so that Zuo Shaoyang could do his best to help him, and immediately shook his head and said: "Our female slaves here are all very good, I picked them, they are strong, and they are very good at giving birth to children." The craftsmen are almost all of you Han people, the craftsmanship is very good, all craftsmen have it, I am reluctant, if the king can help me form an alliance with Duo Mi and give the king as a gift, then you can, you want to buy, Xiao Wang I am reluctant to sell, really! ”

Zuo Shaoyang was helpless and sighed, anyway, he has to pass through many countries along the way, so he bought them along the way. However, the more you go inside, the more difficult it is to find this craftsman, the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty were the most advanced in the world at that time, Tubo has always coveted the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, and Princess Wencheng married Songtsan Gampo, brought a lot of craftsmen, and played a very key role in the development of Tubo, so craftsmen are a very important factor in the development of the economy. Try to collect it close to the lobby.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "If I can do this thing as a chief, I don't want slave girls, and all of them will be replaced by craftsmen, okay?" ”

For the chief, female slaves are more attractive, these female slaves are carefully bought by his own fine iron, most of them are virgins, and they are really reluctant to give Zuo Shaoyang to say, and the craftsmen are different, because they are next to the Tang Dynasty, and if there is no more, they can buy it in the slave market in the Tang Dynasty. So Zuo Shaoyang's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, and he patted the back of the chair and said, "Okay!" Deal! One for three, if the Dharma King does this, the Dharma King will be my brother, and I will give the concubine to the Dharma King......"

"I said that gentlemen don't take away the beauty of people."

"Okay, then send twenty girls to make amends to the Dharma King, and then give all the craftsmen in the Quanmisang slaves to the Dharma King!"

The butler whispered on the side: "Master, we don't have enough craftsmen." ”

"Huh?" When the chief was reminded by the steward, he also remembered that there were less than three hundred artisan slaves in the entire Misang, of which two hundred were in his own hands and nearly a hundred were in the hands of the elders. If the king only had craftsmen, and one female slave was exchanged for three craftsmen, that would be six hundred, far more than the number of slave craftsmen in Mi Sang.

The chief smiled awkwardly. Zuo Shaoyang had already calculated this account in his heart, and said with a smile: "It is estimated that there are not many craftsmen in the chieftain, or according to the chief's original idea, two hundred female slaves and one hundred craftsmen will do." Coupled with the hundred craftsmen I already have now, our Gangren Buche is enough. ”

The chief smiled apologetically: "That's the only way, we don't have many slaves left. However, the female slaves should be two hundred and twenty, because the king does not want me to have a concubine, and he will compensate for the other twenty. -- These twenty are for the king, and the king can't pass them on to the warriors of your tribe! ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Okay, stay by your side and take care of me, I'm afraid that my body will be hollowed out!" ”

"Hahaha," the chief laughed, looking up to the sky.

At this time, the steward brought all the craftsmen, although if the latter task was completed, he could take away two hundred craftsmen, that is, the vast majority of the craftsmen among the Misang slaves. But Zuo Shaoyang was still worried that he would not be able to complete the task, and the craftsmen would not be able to take so much, so he still carefully selected all kinds of craftsmen who were young and strong and had good craftsmanship, and handed them over to Da Longxin to be responsible for leading, and the thirty female slaves were led by Mei Duo.

Unexpectedly, here in Misang, he helped comb through the fountain and actually exchanged so many much-needed craftsmen and slave girls. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy, raised his glass and said, "Let's drink happily tonight, and leave for Domi tomorrow morning." ”

"Good! Come on, don't get drunk tonight! ”

This chief really did what he said, and this time he drunk Zuo Shaoyang again, of course, he himself was so drunk that he didn't know who was going to know.

Zuo Shaoyang had already said that he didn't want that little concubine, so this time no one bothered him, and he slept peacefully.
