After dealing with the affairs of the coalition army, Luo Han returned to the White Lion Country with the remnants of the White Lion Country army, and was ceremoniously welcomed by the civil and military officials and the common people in the royal capital.

The White Lion Kingdom sent 10,000 troops in advance this time, and later added 5,000 new soldiers, most of whom followed Luo Han to defend at Yugu Pass, and it was precisely because of this that Luo Han could have the absolute right to speak in Yugu Pass. But the consequences are also very serious, except for the 20,000 or 30,000 sick people who were withdrawn in advance in Yugu Pass, the whole army was basically wiped out. All Luo Han could bring back was the 5,000 or so people in the sick number and the 2,000 people who were deployed in other places, half of which was lost.

Those who really fought bloodily could not come back, and these soldiers who just watched their comrades go to battle enjoyed the most solemn courtesy, which made everyone's psychology have an awkward feeling. Especially those recruits, who felt that they had not contributed anything, and still lay in the hospital bed for a month, a little ashamed of the enthusiasm of the people, and walked with their heads down.

Luo Han saw it in his eyes, and it was not easy to say anything in public, so he had to make a statement to the little king, saying that the soldiers were fighting hard, and there were many soldiers who were infected by the plague released by the enemy, and they had not recovered until now, and hoped that the little king would be sympathetic to the soldiers and let them recuperate for a while.

The little king agreed, and was busy rewarding, and granted the soldiers a long leave of provincial relatives, leaving only Luo Han and a group of senior generals and two national teachers to go to the palace for a banquet.

At the banquet, the little king asked about the war and the customs of the West, and Luo Han came one by one. After hearing this, the little king sighed with emotion: "The people between the Goshawk Kingdom and the Garo Empire are suffering now. ”

Luo Han didn't expect the little king to have such a compassionate mind, so he thought about it and said: "Speaking of the people, the minister remembers one thing. ”

"Aiqing, please speak."

"A few days ago, the minister helped the new king to ascend the throne in accordance with the king's edict in the kingdom of Casita, and the new king of Casita asked the minister to barter the people. The minister did not dare to make a decision, and asked His Majesty to show it. ”

The little king wondered, "What barter?" ”

Luo Han said: "It is to use the people of the Casita Kingdom to exchange our materials, and Your Majesty can also understand it as selling slaves." ”

The little king frowned and said, "How unreasonable is that this King Casita should sell his own people!" ”

Luo Han shook his head: "Your Majesty is angry, this is also a last resort." After the Imperial Expeditionary Force seized the luck of the Kingdom of Casita, the Kingdom of Casita was full of bandits, and there was no rain for a longer time, and for a little longer, it was a great drought, and there would be famine in a great drought. If we didn't provide food, it would not only be the Casita royal family, but also the hundreds of thousands of people who would suffer. The new king of Casita also wanted to give his people a little way to live. ”

The little king thinks about it, he can't plant the land, what will he eat for hundreds of thousands? However, he still cared a little about Nainu's affairs, and his face was still ugly.

Luo Han continued: "The minister said that he was selling slaves, but he was just making a comparison. To put it another way, the kingdom of Casita provides labor to do things for us, and subsidizes the kingdom with labor in exchange for payment. As long as we don't treat future people as slaves and pay according to the contract, we don't count as a slave trade. And...... Our foundation is weak, and if we can return these labors to the White Lion Country and become our people, it will be beneficial to our foundation. ”

Meng Fei also persuaded: "Your Majesty, if a country's luck is taken away, the people will definitely have a hard time, and our move is not to harm them, but to save them." Your Majesty, for the sake of the people, grant this. ”

The little king looked at Shangyuan Zhenren again, and when he saw that Shangyuan Zhenren did not object, he knew it in his heart and said, "It's not impossible. But what do we need so much labor for? ”

Luo Han said: "The minister hears that the foundation of the National Fortune Hall has been built. Although the imperial army was defeated, the national fortune is still the foundation of a country, why not collect these labors to continue to build the national fortune palace? Excess labor can also be used to open up wasteland for farming and produce more food. ”

The little king nodded: "Good idea, then this matter ......" The little king originally wanted Luo Han to deal with it, but thinking that Luo Han was a military general, and the battle was extremely hard, he couldn't bear to find trouble for him anymore, so he looked at Meng Fei. Meng Fei said with interest: "Since the minister is presiding over the construction of the National Fortune Palace, he should share his worries for His Majesty. Leave this matter to the minister. ”

The little king smiled: "There is Lao Zuo Guoshi." ”

After a banquet, everyone returned drunk. Luo Han returned to the king's mansion, took a good bath, and fell asleep in the tub.

When Luo Han woke up, got dressed and walked to the yard, he saw that Yu Chengcheng was watering the flowers, and the sunlight was shining on Yu Chengcheng's fair and delicate face, which matched the delicate beauty of the flowers, which made people feel refreshed. After seeing too much blood and death, suddenly seeing this scene made Luo Han's mood a little touched, and he was stunned unconsciously.

Yu Chengcheng turned around and found that Luo Han was looking at him blankly, chuckled, and said, "General, is it good-looking?" ”

Luo Han came back to his senses, coughed dryly twice and changed the topic: "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

Yu Chengcheng put down the kettle and said: "I have already asked my subordinates to prepare a meal, but it may be cold, and the slave family will make it hot again." Anyway, the general will not dislike it. ”

"Mmmm, just have something to eat."

Luo Han was about to leave with a haha, but Yu Chengcheng stopped him: "General, please wait a minute." ”

Luo Han stopped and wondered, "Is there anything else?" ”

Yu Chengcheng said: "Someone sent a letter yesterday, saying that he wanted you to open it in person. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Luo Han.

Luo Han took the letter and looked at it, there was no name on the envelope, and he wondered who would write to him. After opening it, it was suddenly clear that the letter was written in the flower language of Baihua, in order to invite Storm to complete a task.

This task was inadvertently received by the team members who stayed in the Baihua Cave Mansion during the war, but the origin was not small.

Baihua entered the scene relatively early, and happened to appear near the Liusha River, that is, Sha Wujing's territory. However, Baihua has never dared to fight Sha Wujing's idea, although Monk Sha has a thin presence among Tang Seng's three apprentices, but no matter how he is, he is also one of the protagonist teams, and his strength should not be underestimated. As for climbing relationships, the quicksand river is not so easy to get down.

But a month ago, a monk suddenly found the Baihua Cave Mansion and claimed that he wanted to cross the river, but he heard that there were monsters in the Liusha River who ate monks, so he wanted to ask someone to protect him. Originally, Baihua also wondered why the monk would find a monster to protect him, but he said that he knew that the people in Baihua Cave Mansion were once immortals, and although they had fallen into a demon clan, they had never eaten people for many years, unlike the monsters in the quicksand river, and he had something that was particularly useful to them as a reward.

At that time, because the main force of Baihua could not get out of the Western Regions, the left-behind team members did not agree. But the monk claimed that he would travel around the neighborhood and that he would arrive at the bank of the quicksand river in three months, and that if he wished, he could go directly to the quicksand river to find him, and then left.

Because of the victory in the war, Hua Yu had the kung fu to think about it, thinking about it, I felt that the power of Baihua alone was still a little insufficient, and the most important thing was that Baihua had no treatment now, so I hoped that Storm could join, but it was really not possible to let Xiao Yumeng go alone. Of course, Huayu didn't want this matter to be known by other teams and came to get a piece of the pie.

Luo Han casually threw away the letter paper, which was cut into powder by the invisible wind blade in the air, then touched his chin and said to himself: "Sha Wujing, monk, it's a little interesting." ”

Because there was still time, Huayu didn't ask Luo Han to reply immediately, only said that if he intended to go to Baihuadong Mansion to find her at that time. As for the distribution and negotiation, it is not the first time that everyone has cooperated.

Luo Han wrote down this matter, went to the palace after breakfast, and summed up the affairs of the Casita Kingdom with Meng Fei, who stayed here temporarily.

A few days later, a convoy of wagons departed from the White Lion Kingdom and headed for the Kingdom of Casita under the escort of the army. After a trek of more than ten days, he met the new king of Casita in the kingdom of Casita. The new king of Casita, who is actually the puppet of the Star Queen, has long been prepared, and a large number of poor people are ready to go. After handing over the materials delivered by the White Lion Country and signing a series of contracts, these people who went to work in the White Lion Country for their livelihood will get into a carriage and leave their homeland. They will seek a job in the White Lion Nation to support themselves while paying off a high ride fee.

In addition to transporting manpower, the team also purchased a large number of materials at a low price in Casita and shipped them back to the White Lion Country for sale, which will also be a huge benefit. And this convoy is naturally not formed for nothing, but Luo Han sold all the rewards he obtained, and then pulled some close generals to invest together, including the food and materials sold to the Kingdom of Casita, all of which were purchased by themselves, and their income was divided with the palace, which was the income from the sale of goods brought back and the carriage and horse expenses that the laborers would repay in the future.

These laborers will become extremely cheap labor in the White Lion Country, greatly promoting the development of the White Lion Country, and over time, these people who are far away from home are likely to choose to integrate into the White Lion Country, bringing the most important resource of ancient society to the White Lion Country - population.

When other countries saw the White Lion Kingdom doing this, they didn't want to get a piece of the pie, but the new king of Casita, who had long been controlled, questioned the ability of these small countries and was unwilling to let the people go to them. The Goshawk Kingdom is qualified as a big country, and the distance is closer and more convenient, but the Battle of Yugu Pass broke out in the Goshawk Kingdom, and hundreds of thousands of allied troops gathered, which brought a huge burden to the Goshawk Kingdom, and the food consumption alone was an astronomical amount, not to mention the resettlement of refugees, the later control of the plague, and the reconstruction of Yugu Pass, all of which consumed a lot of resources. Some subsidies have been provided, but they have been a drop in the bucket. All this made the Goshawk Kingdom unable to use the extra resources to exchange for labor, and in the end, it only reluctantly borrowed the convoy of the White Lion Kingdom in exchange for some people to help build the Jade Drum Pass. By the way, although the Yugu Guan Valley Road was blocked, it didn't take long for the trialists to dredge the Valley Road violently, but the trialists couldn't do anything about the reconstruction of the city.

With the exception of Casita, many of the smaller nations that have been seized of their fortunes hope to get on this train and trade their citizens for supplies to continue their rule. Soon after, King Casita formed a union to specialize in this area. However, because the White Lion Nation refuses to trade in human beings and is immoral, the union does not accept slaves. Each kingdom had to sign a contract with the laborers, and the monthly wages of the laborers were converted into goods and sent back to the countries in proportion to the laborers, partly to the public and partly to support the families of the workers. For a period of five to 10 years, it is agreed that the worker will no longer have to pay this part of the salary, but he will also need to support his family. In addition, the fastest way for countries to obtain supplies is naturally to trade goods directly from the fleet.

This is similar to the operation of developed countries to plunder the productive forces and resources from backward countries, except that the White Lion State uses food, and the target is not the capitalists but the state.

Of course, Luo Han is not a money fan when he makes such a play. He was just planning ahead, hoping to expand his power. Others may not have thought about it, but Luo Han was thinking about a question after entering this scene to confirm the timeline, Storm is the last Huaxia team to enter the scene, although it can learn from the success and failure of the previous team, but it also means that when they carry out the final mission, it will be impossible to have a helper. And the trial ground is given such a long time of twenty years, obviously not for everyone to travel, it must be to do something. After this battle, Luo Han realized the importance of mortal power, so he arranged early. And now because the Imperial Army camp trialist will participate in the journey to the west, his last stop will be more and more dangerous, and no one knows if Tang Seng's golden cicada luck can survive to the realm of the White Lion Country, so Luo Han needs to do a lot of things to ensure his mission.

After the first batch of workers from the Casita Kingdom arrived, Meng Fei directly led the people to the original White Lion City. However, because there is no restriction on young and strong, there are many women in this group, who are not suitable for coolies, so they need to find jobs temporarily. At this time, Luo Han and the various managers of the project hired these women, which solved the problem.

These people had a very hard life in the early days, their wages were low, they had to give a cut to their families and the country thousands of miles away, and they also had to bear the high cost of material transportation, basically only enough to eat and drink before the contract expired. When the contract expires and a sum of money is saved to take over the family, life can slowly improve.

Of course, it was not charity for Rakhan to hire women, and although he sold the goods of the king's bounty, he kept one very important thing, that is, the fields. Ancient monarchs rewarded courtiers with great achievements, and good land was indispensable, and Luo Han was no exception. He owned a considerable amount of fertile land in the former White Lion City, and the little king gave him the privilege of clearing the wasteland. These fields need to be cultivated by people, but they don't require much strong labor, and these women are a good choice. Luo Han hired local middle-aged farmers to do heavy manual labor at a higher cost, and let these women do lighter work, which not only absorbed this labor force, but also mitigated the impact of the influx of cheap labor on the local people. In fact, Meng Fei's new policy restricts the jobs that can be done by foreign laborers, leaving some well-paid jobs for local people. This, of course, causes some problems, but it is not irreconcilable.
