Chapter 230: Slaves and maids are also in demand!

Although this is not his birthday, Su Moer and Cui Yingying can still remember to celebrate his birthday, Li Su still feels warm in his heart, a sumptuous meal is prepared in the kitchen, Li Su is happy and people bring wine, since it is a birthday and the joy of housewarming, so happy.

At night, in order to express his gratitude, Li Su decided to sleep with the two of them, but Su Moer escaped again.

In order to occupy the Ryukyus plan, Li Su convened a military meeting for several days to discuss various arrangements and strive to implement everything in place.

"After arriving in the Ryukyus, the first thing you did was to look for a deep-water port, and this time, more than 10,000 craftsmen walked with you, and after finding the deep-water port, they established a military port near the port, which will be your temporary residence in the future, understand?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Xia Guangyi stood up and said loudly, this time the fleet was led by him and Sun Dongxu, ten steam treasure ships and three transport treasure ships plus some supply ships went out to Ryukyu together, such a huge fleet sailing will undoubtedly be a historical example.

After the meeting was dispersed, everyone dispersed, and Li Su was about to return to the palace, when a soldier dressed as a scout hurriedly came over and said, "Your Highness, this is a letter from General Niu." ”

"Niu Jinda's letter?" Zhu Youzhi thought: "Could it be that there is a problem in Songzhou again?" ”

Li Su tore open the letter, scanned it, and said, "It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, this Tuyuhun sent us slaves." ”

The content of this letter said that Murong Shun took 40,000 slaves and maids to Songzhou, waiting for Li Su to trade.

Both of them knew about Li Su and Murong Shun's deal. So he smiled and said, "This Murong Shun seems to be trustworthy." ”

"It is indeed cost-effective to exchange these slaves for the position of a khan, Murong Shun is not a stupid person." Li Su casually tore up the letter and threw it into the trash.

Since Murong Shun came on time. Li Su couldn't neglect others, he set off for Songzhou on the same day, and of course brought his artificial gems.

In two days, Li Su arrived in Songzhou, and under the city of Songzhou, he saw Murong Shun, who he hadn't seen for more than half a year, "Murong Khan, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Your Highness!" Murong Shun was still as humble as before. He got off the horse, walked to Li Su and saluted, I have to say that the gems given by Li Su allowed him to sell them at a good price in Persia, and with this money he bought a lot of grain and horses from Persia to form his own army, but these troops were only about 5,000 people, which was far from enough for him to stabilize the shape of Tuyuhun, with the help of Li Shimin's army. Although he defeated the armies of King Tianzhu and King Zun, the two have not been completely wiped out, and the Tang army that helped him has the intention of retreating, and he is indeed in a hurry now.

Li Su looked at the slaves and maids held by the Tuyuhun army and said, "These are the slaves and maids of this transaction?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness. According to your request, these slaves and maids are all Han Chinese people and their descendants who have been looted from the Central Plains by Tuyuhun over the years, a total of 43,000 people, all of them are here. "Murong Shun turned Tuyuhun upside down and found all the Han slaves and maids.

Judging from the appearance of these people, Li Su understood that his words were true. So he said: "Very good, I am very satisfied with these slaves and maids." Of course, I will keep my promise, which is the other third of the gems. Li Su opened the gem and placed him in Murong Shun's hands.

After getting the gem, Murong Shun was also relieved, he was also afraid that Li Su would not fulfill his promise, after all, now Tuyuhun was at a disadvantage, and it was not impossible for Li Su to forcibly take away these slaves.

"Hopefully next time we can continue trading." Li Su's heart blossomed, he liked this kind of businessless business too much.

Nodding solemnly to Li Su, Murong Shun left with Tuyuhun's soldiers, and the Songzhou defenders immediately took over the 40,000 slaves.

Niu Jinda said pitifully: "What kind of integrity does Your Highness have to tell these people, as long as you give an order, I will immediately take someone to snatch these slaves and maids." ”

Li Wan'er said: "General Niu, war can't solve all problems, sometimes things that can be done with a little trick, why exchange the lives of soldiers?" ”

Niu Jinda was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he had a new view of Li Su.

got more than 40,000 slaves and maids, Li Su was in a good mood, he did not stay in Songzhou, but escorted the 40,000 slaves back to Yizhou, but Li Su just came back and his butt was still hot, and his trouble came.

"Your Highness, all these slaves and maids will give us Taoyuan!" Tong Yu said almost in a pleading tone, because Li Yu added a large number of machinery to Taoyuan, now Taoyuan's new factories are blooming everywhere, various types of factories have been established, mortals Taoyuan These people can use the knowledge of these people, and almost all the machinery that Li Yu can buy has been moved here, and now Tong Yu no longer mentions machinery and equipment to limit their research, but the establishment of these factories requires a large number of people to operate these machinery.

Tong Nian heard about the slaves and maids and found them as soon as possible, he said: "Your Highness, now the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce has opened a soap washing water chief and a glass factory, these factories need a lot of slaves and maids, otherwise they can't be opened at all, Your Highness, you must give me these slaves and maids." ”

"Does your factory matter? Don't you want the farm? Hehe, Your Highness, there are still a lot of manpower shortages in farms and farms, so you should consider the old slave first, don't you want to be based on agriculture? Jin Daqian said with a smile, now the affairs of the palace are basically handed over to Rongda, and he is focused on the farm and the farm in the palace.

"What farm is important, how can you sell things without a chamber of commerce?"

"What do you eat without a farmstead? Look how fat you are now. ”

"Without Taoyuan, can you build a glass factory? Who taught you the technique! ”

"Little rabbit, how can you talk to me, you won't know your father when you come to Taoyuan, right?"

"Oops......"

“……”

Li Su sat in the palace of the palace and looked at the three guys who were about to fight speechlessly, these three are very important, no one is more important or the other is light, but there is still a question of priority.

"Don't make any noise, now that the industrial base of Taoyuan has just been established, it does need a lot of manpower, and the planting of rubber grass, cotton, and diesel trees on the farm also needs a lot of manpower, which is the original material can not be relaxed, as for the glass factory and the like, take your time, don't worry, the money will not be made at once." Li Su analyzed.

At the end of these words, several people understood what Li Yu meant, Tong Nian was defeated, his face was bitter, and Jin Daqian and Tong Yu both showed a victorious smile.

"This batch of slaves and maids, Jin Daqian will divide 25,000, Taoyuan will divide 15,000, and the remaining 3,000 will be given to the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce, which is enough for you to use temporarily. Li Su assigned it to the three.

This figure made several people very satisfied, but Tong Nian didn't say anything anymore because he got Li Su's promise.

"These slaves and maids are assigned to you, and you must adhere to the point system, do not abuse them, and strive to integrate them into the life of Yizhou." Li Su's policy towards these slaves and maids has always been lenient, and he does not treat them cruelly, because it will give them the will to resist, and he uses the method of gentle assimilation, so that they will eventually become a part of Yizhou, and perhaps after a few hundred years, they will completely forget their own nation and become an inseparable part of Yizhou.

"Your Highness, rest assured, except that they have no free accidents, they are not treated worse than those who have been recruited." Tong Yu said.

Nodding, Li Su swept over the three of them one by one, and now the work of the three is closely related to each other, Taoyuan provides technology and equipment to the Tang Chamber of Commerce, and the Tang Chamber of Commerce provides funds and raw materials to Taoyuan, and the farm provides food to two places, which means that the three departments are mutually influential, and they are also the first to follow Li Su, especially Jin Daqian, although he still has the name of a general manager, he has actually become the logistics director of the royal industry.

"Kim Daqian, what happened to the livestock that caused it, there were no mass deaths, right?" While the three of them were there, Li Su asked about business.

"No, no." Jin Daqian hurriedly said, "Now these livestock are very good, and some have begun to give birth, especially the hens, which have begun to lay eggs now, and I will have someone send a batch to the palace in a few days, as well as cream, and now they have begun to produce milk." ”

"Really?" Li Su laughed, "Don't forget, send some to the palace earlier." Li Su had a new idea in his head.

Jin Daqian said: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Li Su turned his head and asked Tong Nian: "How is the operation of various industries of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce now?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the total purchase of the store from the Chamber of Commerce in the first half of the year reached 6 million guan, the profit of well salt was the highest, the sales in the first half of the year reached 10 million, and the new edible oil and white sugar are very popular in Yangzhou, and 3 million guan has been sold, as for the newspaper industry, there is still a slight surplus, and the total sales of agricultural products are also about 500,000 guan." Tong Nian said it like a few family treasures.

After a rough calculation, the total annual income of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce is about 40 million guan, and according to Shangguan Yi's statistics, last year, a total of 32 million guan was consumed for various infrastructure construction, transportation, and purchase of raw materials, and all the money from the monopoly and Yanjing pit was spent. Fortunately, these slaves and maids don't need wages, otherwise Li Su would really not be able to make ends meet.

However, these industries are all emerging industries, and many places do not know yet, Li Su believes that these industries will make more and more money, after all, they are all consumables of life, and they are not unsalable.

"Well, it's okay, these transactions are still dominated by gold and silver, right?" Li Su's main transaction now is precious metals, copper coins and other bulky things, he wants to gradually eliminate, but now the Tang Chamber of Commerce's money tickets are circulating more and more widely, almost reaching the role of banknotes among businessmen, many businessmen are also directly trading with money tickets, and this is the reason why Li Su is in a hurry to establish gold and silver reserves, he is now equivalent to printing money, what to do if there is no precious metal of equal value?
