"Your Royal Highness, my brother was sick because he missed Sister Yunjian before, and now he is pitied by God, so he finally met again, but Sister Yunjian has now been bought by the palace, and His Royal Highness has repeatedly rescued our brother and sister, so my brother can't open his mouth to His Highness no matter what, but he can't help but miss it, so he secretly met with Sister Yunjian, but every time he comes back, his brother is very painful, so the little woman has the courage to ask His Highness to exchange herself for Sister Yunjian." After Feng Shuyu finished talking about the relationship between their brother and sister and Yunjian Qiuji, she said with a resolute face.

Li Su looked at the petite Feng Shuyu in front of him, and his heart was also quite moved, no one could have imagined that under the petite body of the other party, there was such courage hidden, and he gave up his life to become a brother, this kind of courage is not something that anyone can do.

However, admiration is admiration, there are some things he can help, but if he helps some things, it is not necessarily a good thing for the people who are helped, so I saw Li Su ask: "Shuyu, do you know, what did I buy those widows for?" ”

"The folk girl doesn't know." Feng Shuyu lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and said in a low voice, in fact, don't talk about her, even the widows who were bought don't know about it, after all, this matter is not very good to say, so except for Li Su and Gao Chong, only a few stewards who handle it know.

Seeing Feng Shuyu's somewhat frightened look, Li Su suddenly showed an evil smile and said: "These widows were asked by a friend of mine in Chang'an, he is not only vicious, but also likes to abuse women the most, and the female slaves sent to his house generally do not live for half a year." And the number of these widows is certain, if there is one less. Then someone has to go in, and now you are still willing to exchange with that Yunma Qiuji? ”

Li Su said every word. Feng Shuyu's face turned pale, and as soon as Li Su's words fell, her face had become like a blank piece of paper, and her body was like a leaf in the wind, and her whole body was trembling slightly, obviously frightened by Li Su's words. It's just that despite this, she still bit her lips stubbornly, trying to control her body from going limp.

"I ...... I do! Feng Shuyu's two pink fists clenched tightly, although his voice trembled slightly. But the tone is still very resolute.

Seeing that this little girl was scared like this, Li Su also felt a little embarrassed, and suddenly smiled and said: "Silly girl, scare you, those female slaves are indeed given away, but the other party is not as vicious as I said, and it doesn't have to be sent all of them, it doesn't matter if there are one or two less." ”

Feng Shuyu was already determined to die, but he didn't expect Li Su's attitude to suddenly take a sharp turn. Those words just now turned out to be a joke, which made Feng Shuyu unable to adapt for a while, and looked at Li Su in a daze, but couldn't say a word.

However, Li Su's words were not finished. glanced at Feng Shuyu, who was still in a stupid state, and said, "But I can let her reunite with your brother with that Yunjian Qiuji, but there is no free lunch in this world." You can't take people away without paying any price, and I bought it for more than 400 yuan. Coupled with the cost of this time, it adds up to a hundred. If you add it up like that, I'll give you a whole number! ”

Hearing that a prince in Li Sudignified was calculating his wealth with him, Feng Shuyu was even more incredulous, but this made her feel more down-to-earth, as long as King Qi was willing to sell, then their brother and sister would be desperate to buy Sister Yunjian.

Thinking of this, Feng Shuyu immediately spoke: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your success, but Your Highness also knows the situation of our brothers and sisters, and now you really can't take out so much as five hundred, so see if you can owe it first, and if you earn money in the future, we will return it." ”

"Five hundred?" Li Zhuo said in surprise, "What five hundred, the whole number I said is obviously one thousand!" ”

"One...... Thousand? Feng Shuyu's little brain melon seems to be a little unable to turn around, just now Li Su said that he bought it for more than 400 guan, and later it cost hundreds of guan, so it only adds up to 500 guan, how did this thousand guan be calculated?

At this time, he saw Li Su suddenly frown, and said in a deep voice: "What, don't you want to buy it?" ”

Feng Shuyu didn't expect that His Royal Highness King Qi, who had always been gentle and funny, would suddenly become like a philistine now, but now was not the time to think about this, so Yinya bit his mouth and said, "Okay, a thousand times!" ”

Seeing that the other party agreed, Li Su also showed a satisfied smile, of course he didn't care about the money, but he didn't want the Feng brothers and sisters to save the widow so easily, after all, what was too easy to get, people would not cherish it in particular, so a little obstacle was set up. But now he had to add another assurance.

Thinking of this, Li Su suddenly stretched out his hand, and then said to Feng Shuyu: "Take it!" ”

Feng Shuyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked a little uncertainly: "Your Highness, what do you let the little girl take?" ”

Li Su smiled and said: "I know that your brothers and sisters have no money now, so I can lend you this money first, but according to the rules, if you borrow money, you generally have to find a guarantor, but your brothers and sisters don't know anyone else at all, so this guarantor is really hard to find, so there is only one way left, that is, you can only use things as collateral, so do you see if there are any valuable things on your body that can be used as collateral?" ”

Li Su's businesslike tone frightened Feng Shuyu again, and the poor little girl pulled the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and said very embarrassedly: "Your Royal Highness, the little girl really has nothing of value on her." ”

But as soon as the little girl said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of a way and said: "However, the little girl can mortgage herself to the palace, and when my brother and they have earned enough money, it will not be too late to redeem me." ”

"You?" Li Suqiang held back a smile, deliberately looked at Feng Shuyu with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a long while, he said with satisfaction, "Okay, Shuyu, you have a deep relationship with your brother, and you can also be used as a mortgage, but you can't eat and drink in the palace for nothing, I think your cooking skills are good, if I eat in the future, you can cook me a few good side dishes, and it can be regarded as working in the palace, so what do you think?" ”

"Good! I love cooking the most! Feng Shuyu heard Li Su's agreement, and immediately replied quickly, looking at her appearance, as if she was afraid that Li Su would regret it, and looking at her happy appearance, it seemed that she didn't have the slightest awareness of being collateral.

After agreeing on this matter with Feng Shuyu, Li Su immediately asked the good widow to be released and let her reunite with Feng Shijie, which caused the other widows to be envious and jealous. And Feng Shijie first scolded Feng Shuyu after knowing about his sister's deal with Li Su, and then hit Li Su alone, hoping to cancel the deal, but Li Su told the other party that he didn't care about the money at all, but Feng Shijie wanted to take away a woman he bought from him, so he couldn't help but pay the price, so this thousand times is a test for him, when he gets the money, he will release him when he wants, of course, the money must be clean.

Hearing Li Su say this, coupled with Feng Shuyu's insistence, Feng Shijie finally agreed to this matter, but from then on, Feng Shijie frowned all day long, thinking about the word money, racking his brains to earn enough money in the shortest possible time, and then be able to reunite with his sister. It's just that even Li Su didn't expect how much potential a person would explode when his whole body and mind were devoted to making money.

After taking care of the Feng brothers and sisters, Li Su did not relax, but saw something through this incident. Speaking of the Feng brothers and sisters and the three people of Yunjian Qiuji, one of them is a pure Han Chinese, one is a pure Japanese people, and the other is a Han and Japanese mixed race, which made him suddenly think that among the people in his hands, there are Silla people, Baekje people, Japanese people, grassland people, Kunlun slaves, etc., these are all non-Han people, and as the Han population he relies on the most, the number really controlled by him is not much, and it is not even as large as the number of Japanese people, and the other Han people are all in the Tang Dynasty, if he wants to expand the strength in his hands, The first thing to increase is the number of Han Chinese.

If you want to increase the number of Han people in your hands, the first thing is to immigrate from the Tang Dynasty, he had proposed to Li Shimin that he wanted to recruit those fugitives in the Tang Dynasty to live overseas, but this is not a small project, all aspects require strong operational capabilities, and he has no energy to manage this matter now.

But in addition to immigration, there is another way to increase the population, and that is to encourage childbearing. However, if you want to increase fertility, then the burden will fall on the man, originally the man is born with this advantage, as long as he is given enough women, it is not too difficult for a man to create a nation, of course, the man must be very strong physique.

Chinese men can take concubines, but the number of Han people in Li Su's hands is limited, this limitation means that both men and women are limited, so men sometimes want to take concubines, but it is not easy to find a suitable one, but in addition to Han women, Li Su has a large number of women of other nationalities in his hands, if Han men are encouraged to accept women of these nationalities as concubines, then the children born should also be considered Han people, so that the fertility of men under his rule can be fully utilized, and the population can increase faster. However, these must be guided by corresponding policies.

Thinking of this, Li Su suddenly had a somewhat ridiculous idea, but if you think about it carefully, it is also very feasible, and immediately sent someone to find Liu Renliang over, this time the firearms battalion served as Li Su's personal guard, and Liu Renliang naturally accompanied him, and although he is now half a general, he used to be a capable minister, plus now Wang An and Lu Hong and others are not there, so these political matters can only be discussed with him.
