Chapter 12 Land Reform?

In Ye Zhao's tent in Baoan City, the white imam was shocked and sighed: "If there is no brigade commander, I will definitely be torn to pieces by those murderous devils." ”

Ye Zhao motioned for him to drink tea and said, "This is the Central Plains' Shock Tea." ”

The white imam picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

Ye Zhao lit a cigarette, looked at the white imam, and said, "Old man, if you can influence the entire Muslim world, what do you want to do the most?" ”

The white imam was stunned for a moment and looked at Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao added: "Allah blesses all devout Muslims, and I hope that as you say, the Muslim world will usher in a warm spring." ”

The white imam touched his chest and bowed slightly.

Ye Zhao added: "I also hope that when the old gentleman interprets the revelation of Allah, he will truly listen to the voice of Allah, and we Muslims and non-Muslims love each other, so that even if we go astray in the next life and enter the world of non-Muslims, sooner or later we will open our wise eyes and divide the two lives." "As long as Muslims and non-Muslims are allowed to marry freely in their teachings, and are gradually recognized by all Muslims, in fact the cohesion of the Muslim community will gradually weaken, and the strong assimilation power of the Central Plains will avoid the Waterloo that has happened in the Muslim world.

Ye Zhao didn't want to eliminate the differences between the races in this world, but a religion is too cohesive, bringing all believers together, and non-believers will become another group, and the exclusive surname is too strong, which is not a good thing after all, especially when it spreads to a foreign land outside its birthplace, it is always better to keep pace with the times, otherwise it is easy to have a religious war.

The white imam looked at Ye Zhao, his eyes were full of surprise, because Ye Zhao said "We Muslims".

Ye Zhao smiled at this time: "Old man, my name is Ye Zhao, and my name is **Xinjue Luo Jingxiang." ”

The white imam was immediately struck by lightning, even if he knew that the emperor of the new dynasty was a common ancestor of all ethnic groups, he would definitely not know Ye Zhao's name, but he naturally knew the surname of Aixin Jueluo, so he stood up violently and said, "You, you ......."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly: "Yes, it's me." ”

The white imam no longer doubted, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Grass people Bai Yuanyu see His Majesty the Emperor!" "I have long felt that this person is not trivial, but I really didn't expect that it was the legendary Central Plains saint.

Ye Zhao sat upright and bowed to him, and then said: "Get up, imam, the new dynasty has abolished the ritual of kneeling and bowing, so you don't have to be too polite." ”

The white imam did not dare to say anything, slowly got up, put his hand on his chest, and bowed down and said: "The miracle of Allah, the great emperor descended on the grassland." ”

Ye Zhao said: "The matter of my coming west still needs to be kept secret by the imam." ”

The white imam hurriedly said: "The grass people understand. ”

Ye Zhao immediately made a gesture and said, "Sit down, I still want to hear you explain the doctrine, and I hope you will give me advice." ”

The white imam stroked his chest and said, "It is my honor to serve His Majesty the Great Emperor. ”

In the tent, Ye Zhao and the white imam talked together about the next day, so they sent the white imam back to the village, and instructed the white imam to put down his chores and prepare to go to Lanzhou City.

Seeing off the white imam, Ye Zhao returned to the bedroom, only to find that Hua Ji and Wei Yue Iori were not sleeping, yawning and waiting for him, looking at the slightly sleepy and delicate state of the two girls, Ye Zhao was distressed and warm, and sighed: "Clean up, let's go to Lanzhou Mansion, you two can sleep in the car." ”

The two girls didn't ask why, and they were busy getting up to pack their little baggage.

Half an hour later, the vehicle and horse team left Baoan City slowly, leaving two battalions of infantry to garrison, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and a battalion of Shenji guards accompanied Ye Zhao to Lanzhou.

Although the new dynasty has not recovered Qinghai, Gansu and Qinghai provinces have been established, Gansu Province governs Lanzhou, and Qinghai Province governs Xining. The governor of Gansu is really Ye Zhao's old acquaintance, the old master Du Wenquan, who has served as the Hunan envoy, the political envoy, and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education.

Ye Zhao and the others arrived in Lanzhou in the afternoon, and ordered Bai Laoheng to lead the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Shenji Battalion to camp outside the city, while Ye Zhao entered the city surrounded by the guards in the big interior.

This time, Ye Zhao came to the northwest, with ten Ouchi women and thirty men, a total of forty Ouchi masters.

First went to the general army Yamen to meet the Gansu Provincial Patrol Chief Officer Liu Songshan, Liu Songshan this person, is quite a talented general, in the south to suppress the peasant army, it is recorded that "thieves robbed the camp at night, all the camps were defeated, Songshan lined up a lot of movement under the moon, and the thieves did not dare to force." The general said: "My fourth banner Liu Songshan also!" "Don't run, everyone is determined, then the thieves will be broken, and four battles and four victories." At that time, the Taiping army was at its most powerful.

After the defeat of the Zeng State Domain, the intention was to stabilize the northwest, Liu Songshan awarded the general army of Suzhou Mansion in Gansu, and the rebellion arose, Suzhou was besieged by the Hui Rebellion for 24 days, Liu Songshan fought hard and fought bloodily, and the city was not lost, and the people who fled in the city were not less than 200,000 people, all of which were spared by Liu Songshan's merits.

Harwich's forward regiment advanced rapidly, and the troops approached the city of Suzhou, cutting back more than 10,000 people from the head of the rebellion, relieving the siege of Suzhou, and Liu Songshan surrendered.

Gansu was established as a province, Ye Zhao disregarded his previous suspicions, appointed him as the chief officer of the Gansu patrol army, and prepared to build a patrol army, and Gansu is the primary province in military affairs, which is different from other provinces. According to the military committee system, the Gansu patrol gave the number of the four brigades, and the 20,000 people were established, which shows the burden of Liu Songshan, the general army of Gansu.

At present, in addition to reorganizing the local army brigades and coordinating the armed counterinsurgency of various militia groups, Liu Songshan is also shouldering the important tasks of circulating materials and ensuring the logistics of Ha Shuai.

Liu Songshan sent someone to arrange a two-entry mansion for Ye Zhao in Lanzhou City, and the original owner of the architectural style was a Huiren, thinking that he would either flee or be killed.

After the arrangement was made, Liu Songshan heard that the brigade commander invited him to come to the palace to see him, although Liu Songshan was entangled in all kinds of affairs, but he did not want to offend his colleagues, not to mention that the Rehe Brigade was at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and in the order of the military department, this department also had the power and responsibility of "picketing military discipline".

After all, Liu Songshan is a general, and there is no foundation in the court, and he heard that he was entrusted with a heavy task because of the emperor's words, and when Liu Songshan was grateful, he did not dare to slack off, knowing that his power and responsibility were heavy, I don't know how many people were red-eyed, if he didn't make a name for himself, how could he be the emperor? The military attache of the Central Plains cannot be offended.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Songshan confessed and followed the guards to the mansion where Ye Zhao lived.

Who knew that after being led into the flower hall, he saw that in front of the table with the picture of the Eight Immortals hanging on the wall, a young man in a clear yellow dragon robe was pacing, and on the side, the governor Lord Du stood with his hands down.

Liu Songshan was stunned, and Du Wenquan had already said to him with a smile: "Junmen, come and see the emperor." ”

Liu Songshan was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down: "The criminal minister Liu Songshan sees the emperor!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Get up!" Liu Songshan, I often hear your name, we will meet for the first time today, okay, born mighty! ”

Liu Songshan hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister doesn't dare!" Slowly got up, listening to the emperor's cordial tone, the gratitude in his heart couldn't help but come up again, he was just a general, but the emperor valued it so much, this vast and high grace, I really don't know how to repay.

"Sit down, sit, I told you earlier, it's trendy and new, don't bow at every turn in the future, sit." Ye Zhao made a gesture and sat down by himself, Du Wenquan and Liu Songshan were left and right, sitting down cautiously next to half of their buttocks.

"It's not enough to rebel, and in the future, you can take care of the generation, and Shaanxi and Gansu should also kill less." Ye Zhao said and sighed softly.

Both of them sat upright and listened to the emperor's instructions.

Ye Zhao glanced at Du Wenquan and said with emotion: "Old master, more than 20 years, right?" We've known each other for more than 20 years, and time flies. ”

Why didn't Du Wen sigh with emotion in his heart? As the first reader to contact the emperor's thoughts, he couldn't help but feel that the little brother was whimsical at first, but now look at it, one by one, the ideal predicted by the little brother is being realized step by step, and he himself is also greedy for the merit, first, he has carefully studied and read the emperor's early books, and secondly, he has the relationship between the emperor's teacher, and the career is smooth sailing, and now he has become a member of a province, 20 years ago, who would have thought?

"Read these two texts." Ye Zhao made a gesture, and his own guards sent two stacks of documents to Du Wenquan and Liu Songshan, which were Ye Zhao's dictation, Hua Ji and Wei Yue Iori's book, some views on Islam.

I didn't write too deeply, but I just said that the dynasty would enshrine Muslims, reorganize the teachings, and make Muslimism useful to me, and so on.

Ye Zhao's telegram to send back to Beijing has been prepared, asking the matchmaker to issue an order in her own name to make Old Man Bai the great imam of Shaanxi and Gansu Muslims to appease the people in the territory.

This is naturally indispensable to the cooperation of Du Wenquan and Liu Songshan, and the white imam came forward, together with the political axe of the new dynasty, to appease the panicked Muslims in Shaanxi and Gansu, so as to completely take root in the hearts of the Hui people with the prestige of the white imam and the grace of the new dynasty. Later, based on the Shaanxi and Gansu Muslims, the teachings of the new sect were slowly spread, and so on gradually expanded its influence to the west.

Whether it can be done or not, the charm of the white imam is the first key, and the cooperation of local officials is even more indispensable.

Du Wenquan knew that it was the emperor's idea again when he saw it, and he smiled and said, "Gao Ming." ”

Liu Songshan was a little confused, and said: "I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, isn't this the trend of Chang Islam?" ”

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "I dictated it, and someone else wrote it for me." ”

Liu Songshan's face immediately turned red, and he snorted: "This ...... This...... The minister lost his words. ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you don't know the situation of the Western tribes, and I can't complain about you, outside the borders of our country, the tribes in the Western Regions, there are millions of Muslims who believe in Islam, and their believers are more pious. ”

Liu Songshan said: "Yes, yes." In fact, I am still a little confused.

Ye Zhaoben didn't think that they could understand, after all, they had not experienced the information age, how could they know the history and current situation of the Middle East, West Asia, and Muslim sects? It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, just do what you say.

Ye Zhao made another gesture, and the guards immediately walked over, took the paper in the hands of Du Wenquan and Liu Songshan, and retreated to the corner to light the fire.

After all, there is a conspiracy in it, and this written record cannot be left to future generations, lest it cause strife.

"Okay, you guys can go, the white imam will be there soon."

Du Wenquan and Liu Songshan hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Ye Zhao didn't sleep all night, drafted a telegram to the capital, and wrote "Qinghai Ping Reverse Policy" overnight, and sent it back to Beijing to be studied by the Military Committee.

Now that the cavalry division and two infantry regiments have arrived in Xining, they are preparing to march west to quell the rebellion, and Ye Zhao wrote about how to deal with the relationship with various tribes after the emperor's [***] team entered Qinghai.

Nowadays, Qinghai-Tibet, especially the Tibetan tribes, is a serfdom society, and there are many remnants of a slave society, and the upper rulers and nobles in the monasteries own all the land and most of the property, and occupy all the serfs and slaves. The serfs did not have an inch of land, and their ancestors belonged to their respective lords for generations, fixed in a certain territory, and forced to work for the serf owners. Slaves, known in Tibetan as sacsangsheng, have no means of production, no personal rights, and are almost indistinguishable from livestock.

Now that the Imperial Army is about to enter Qinghai, it can be said that Qinghai is a touchstone, a touchstone for how to establish political power in the Qinghai-Tibet region.

The practice of the previous dynasty was to crown the local chiefs and nobles as "thousand households" and "hundred households", etc., and this kind of official position was hereditary, which was equivalent to acknowledging the rule of the local chiefs for generations.

Do you want to do it yourself?

These words, in Baoan City, Ye Zhao also asked Gadoumei to find some Tibetans, talk to them, and think about these questions.

In fact, in Yunnan and Gansu, Tibetan tribes also maintain a social structure ruled by the headmen.

Only in Sichuan, Ganzi and western Sichuan, the Tibetan tribal leaders organized armed forces against the new dynasty, and after being defeated by Zhao Sanbao, the head people were executed, even if they were not rebellious, all of them were cut off from the titles of the previous dynasty and became ordinary members of the tribe, and the original tribes were broken up, and the county and township management structure was erected.

But this practice naturally cannot be copied to Qinghai-Tibet.

Qinghai may be better said that if the leaders of various tribes become enemies of the new dynasty, they will take the opportunity to kill them and completely change the social structure of Qinghai, but what about Tibetan Province? If the Panchen Lama surrenders, how will the Tibetan aristocratic system deal with it itself? Are serfs and slaves allowed to exist?

When the People's Liberation Army entered Tibet Province, it had to "turn a blind eye" to the miserable life of serfs; these were the original words of a marshal-level military general, and only then did they influence the masses and take advantage of the rebellion in Tibet Province to complete the transformation of the political and social structure.

But under his own rule, what if the Tibetan province did not rebel?

In "Qinghai Peaceful Strategy", Ye Zhao proposed that all tribal leaders who resisted the rule of the empire should confiscate their property, fields and pastures, nationalize them, and hand them over to serfs and slaves for rent, and serfs and slaves would henceforth be citizens of the empire and enjoy the same rights as all citizens in the empire.

The head of the Shun was stripped of the title of the previous dynasty, and the original serfs and slaves of his subordinates were all restored to their personal freedom, enjoyed the rights of imperial citizenship, and could freely settle in the interior of the empire.

At the same time, the land leased by each head must also be collected in accordance with the laws of the empire, and the maximum amount is not allowed to exceed half of the yield per mu.

Ye Zhao also proposed to prepare a propaganda group, and after the end of the counterinsurgency in Qinghai, the propaganda group would enter Qinghai to carry out a series of propaganda on "citizenship" and imperial law.

Of course, this is only the first step in Ye Zhao's conception, first to stabilize and stabilize, and then to settle accounts with the leaders of various tribes, and when the propaganda is effective, in accordance with the laws of the empire, those who have killed slaves and serfs, and brutally oppressed serfs and slaves will be punished one by one.

These head slave owners, nine out of ten are afraid that one will be caught and one is accurate, because unlike the Central Plains, the Qinghai-Tibet region does live in a state of ignorance, these soil emperors have the power of life and death, kill a serf slave, don't talk about the law, even if there is no sense of guilt in morality, it is justified.

Uprooting this class is actually of far-reaching significance for the long-term stability of the empire.

It's just that whether Tibetan Province should continue to use this model, Ye Zhao can't make up his mind for a while, just wait to see the effect of Qinghai, and then make plans according to its pros and cons.

The next morning, Harwich came to Lanzhou, he was the only official in the northwest who knew that Ye Zhao was coming to inspect, but naturally he had to arrange military affairs before he could come to visit.

Accompanied by Harwich, Ye Zhao visited the arsenal that was about to be put into production, in the western suburbs of Lanzhou, and the precautions were extremely strict.

When I returned to Xingyuan, it was already noon, Hua Ji was still asleep, obviously tossed by Ye Zhao and had not eased her spirits, plus she hadn't slept all night before, and finally fell asleep on the kang, so she naturally slept very soundly.

Ye Zhao didn't alarm her, called Wei Yue Yiori, went to the street to eat together, and also walked around Lanzhou City.

When Harry heard that Ye Zhao wanted him to "walk together", he was overjoyed, and changed into a green robe and a horse coat and casual clothes, and Ha Shuai, who was famous in the Western Regions, became a thin businessman, but his eyes were bright, which made people dare not force him.

The shops on the street are also sparsely opened, and the long street is made up of long and short stone slabs on the stone road, and the gaps are all yellow sand, and from a distance, the whole town seems to be sandy, and the Central Plains style is very different.

I found a ramen restaurant and asked for ramen, and the front and back were full of Ouchi guards.

The noodles are strong and the soup is delicious, Ye Zhao looked at Iori with a smile and said, "But I haven't eaten seafood for a long time, and when I return to Beijing, I have to give you a good nutrition. ”

Iori smiled gently, picked up the noodles, blew them, and sandwiched them into Ye Zhao's bowl, thinking that he saw that Ye Zhao had just eaten in a hurry, and his mouth was a little hot.

Harwich was there with a blink of an eye, and when Ye Zhao saw it, he smiled and said, "Old Ha, you don't use your brains less." "Harwich is a good hand at fighting, but he has the most bad habits, seeing that Ye Zhao is so painful, Fusang agreed, but I am afraid that the fake public economy will ask the logistics department in Beijing to send chilled seafood urgently for 800 miles.

Harwich heard this "old ha", his bones immediately lightened, and he smiled: "The mind of the slave can't hide it from the master, but it's not a crooked mind, the world belongs to the master, and the person wearing armor should serve the master." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said: "I said it a long time ago, the use of army resources has its own army resources, just talk about today's matter, if I want to eat seafood, I will ask the capital to send it, and the expenses used will be handled by the Zongren Mansion." ”

Harwich said solemnly: "Yes, the master has a heart that is admired by the world!" ”

Ye Zhao glanced at him, sighed, and said, "It's not that I don't know your mind, and you don't have to think about it." "The various changes of the new dynasty, among the most senior generals, I am afraid that the most difficult to accept is Harwich, but the mind of Jimbo is more enlightened than him, but Jimbo is more nostalgic for the previous dynasty, of course, not to say that he is nostalgic for the system of the previous dynasty, but a kind of regret for the way of ministers.

Harwich, on the contrary, is extremely loyal to himself and is the backbone of supporting himself as emperor, but the various institutional changes of the new dynasty are getting bigger and bigger, and many things, Harwich can't get used to it, and he will be even more disgusted.

After all, Harwich's initial motivation to follow him was to seal his wife and son, and to get promoted and make a fortune.

Ye Zhao looked at the braid on the back of Harwich's head again, in fact, it can be seen from these details that the order to cut the braid of the whole army was issued, and Shenbao was the first senior general to cut the braid, and until now, Harwich still retains his braid, in addition, there are more than a dozen military attachΓ©s above the commander of the brigade in the army, and there are more than a dozen people who have not cut the braids.

The order to cut braids in the whole army was mainly aimed at military officers, and senior officers did not force it for the time being.

Ye Zhao looked at Harwich, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional, yes, Harwich is conservative, and he may still be the opponent of the reformers in the future, but over the years, he has always been his most solid arm, and in this world where new ideas are surging, he must be confused and hesitant, not knowing what the road ahead is, let alone where the Government Council and the Council that came out of thin air will take this country.

patting Harwich on the shoulder, Ye Zhao said: "Old Ha, no matter what happens in the future, I will not change to you." ”

Harwich was slightly stunned, suddenly his throat was dry, and he choked up: "Yes, the slave knows, the slave knows!" ”

Ye Zhao sat upright, sighed, and groaned: "Look at the vast earth, who is the lord of ups and downs!" Lao Ha, after the battle is over in the future, you still have to help me watch it, don't be tossed by them. ”

Harwich got up, knelt down with a thousand beatings, and choked up: "The slave has received the emperor's great favor, and it is difficult to repay the liver and brain!" The slave doesn't understand anything else, but if anyone dares to harm the master's country, the slave will definitely cut him with a thousand knives! ”

"Okay, get up." Ye Zhao patted him on the shoulder again and said, "I won't go that far, I'm afraid, this change, there will always be people who think that the steps are small, just like this braid." Ye Zhao pointed at himself with a smile and said: "Someone told me that the whole country is forced to cut braids, so I told him, okay, give you scissors, you cut mine first, but he didn't have the guts." He laughed as he spoke.

Harwich also laughed twice, thought for a moment, and then said, "When the slave went back, he cut off his braids." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said: "This is just a formality, Manchuria is not satisfied with the continent, you don't care too much, China, we are all China." ”

Harwich nodded slightly and said, "The slave knows what the master means, and he wants this dynasty to be eternal and prosperous, but sometimes, he just can't turn the corner." ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "You can tell me what is in your heart, this is very good, if there is anything you can't figure out in the future, send me a telegram, I also like to listen to you scratch." ”

"Yes, slaves, slaves know that the emperor really has nothing to say to the slaves." Harwich choked up again.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Okay, let's eat noodles, it's going to be cold." ”

After eating noodles and leaving the noodle shop, the sky was thin and cloudy, and the sun was like fire.

Ye Zhao snapped away the folding fan and said with a smile: "Isn't this a flame mountain?" After thinking about it, he said: "In the middle of summer, you have to be careful when you use troops in Western Xinjiang. ”

Harwich said: "Yes, the minions have scattered countless eyeliners, where there is water, where there is an oasis, they have to find out clearly." ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly.

Harwich hesitated and asked, "Master, I heard that you are going to Qinghai again?" ”

Ye Zhao snorted and said, "You don't have to persuade me, if I don't go, I will be really uneasy." "Serfs, slaves, and so on, after all, is hearsay or propaganda from later generations, and the propaganda of later generations will inevitably have deviations, and I always have to take a look at it myself, not to mention the subsequent reform of the social structure, and even the revolution of the serf slavery society, how to do it, how to achieve it, how to do it, how to achieve it, I have to see for myself.

He said: "Don't worry, I won't go to the front line, besides, Qinghai is just a young man and a rebel against the rest of the party, if Yu Linwei can't protect my safety, isn't it a joke?" ”

Harwich did not dare to persuade again.

"Huh?" Ye Zhao was slightly stunned.

Harwich also saw that there was a shop in front of him, and there was a banner hanging from Taihe Xing.

Ye Zhao frowned slightly, but he hadn't heard that Taihe Bank came to Lanzhou to open a branch. He walked in at the moment.

The shop is not big, and the goods are dazzling, such as iron watering cans, iron buckets, iron nails, shovels, and even various agricultural tools that are being implemented in the Central Plains.

"Don't sell, don't sell, don't sell anything!" There was a middle-aged man in the shop, who was about to plate it with his head bowed behind the counter, and his cloth shirt was open-buttoned, revealing his slightly chubby belly.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Are you Taihexing?" But Taihe in Guangzhou? ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man raised his head, looked at Ye Zhao's clothes again, and then smiled: "Doesn't this young owner slap me in the face?" If I were a member of Guangzhou Taihexing, could I run here and suffer this crime? He added: "We just want to get wet, borrow other people's signboards to walk around auspicious, and my whole net worth is pressed here." ”

Ye Zhaoqi said: "Then why are you still chasing customers?" "I listen to the accent of a southerner, but I don't want to do business in Lanzhou.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't you know why the young owner asks?" Thousands of miles away, how much silver did I use for this freight? How many can you sell in Lanzhou Mansion? ”

Ye Zhao asked, "Then where do you want to sell it?" ”

Only then did the middle-aged man know that this young man really didn't understand, so he pointed to the southwest and said, "Of course it's sold in Qinghai, aren't I waiting for our officers and soldiers to go first." ”

Ye Zhao shook his fan and said in his heart, okay, businessman, it's really overturned.

Harwich was also curious and asked, "How much more profit can I make by selling Qinghaili?" ”

"How many points?" The middle-aged man was a little contemptuous, but when he saw Harwich's blazing eyes, his heart suddenly suddenly, and he subconsciously turned his gaze, but he still couldn't help but show off, walked over, picked up a shovel, and said, "See?" This shovel, the old Shengzi shovel, is a treasure in Fanren's place, it is 10,000 times stronger than their own pig iron hammered out, just this shovel, I can exchange a cow with the head of Fanzi! Can you believe it or not? ”

Ye Zhao smiled.

Seeing the happy look on Ye Zhao's face, Harwich quipped, "Then you're not going to get rich?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled proudly, with an audience, but he was interested, stretched out his hand, and took out a small gray cloth bag from behind the counter, and said mysteriously: "If you want to say the most cost-effective, it's here." He patted his burden on his hand and looked proud.

Harwich asked, "What is it?" ”

The middle-aged man opened the bag little by little, but saw that there were dozens of colored glass balls and more than a dozen boxes of matches inside.

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "This is a baby, just these things, I can exchange ten female slaves, and I have to pick a beautiful one, thirteen or fourteen, all of them, go back and sell them to the old man as a concubine, this lord, you calculate, how many times I earn." ”

Ye Zhao frowned slightly.

The middle-aged man sighed again and said, "Now I am most afraid that there are too many merchants from the east, and if the price of this goods is lowered, I will not be able to make a few cents of silver." ”

(To be continued)
