He made a lot of money in the Wa Kingdom, but Li Qinzai is now very short of money.

When he decided to give all the rest of his family's wealth to the family members of Pao Ze, the Li family was basically empty.

Li Qinzai did not have a virgin to bankrupt his family for others, so that his mother-in-law and children starved and froze, so Li Qinzai now urgently needs to make money to support his family.

When I came to my father-in-law's house today, Li Qinzai had inspiration halfway through.

Qingzhou is very close to Dengzhou, and Dengzhou seaport is a port of passage between Datang and Waguo, which has a lot of room for money.

Now Li Qinzai's status in the Wa Kingdom is almost equal to that of the Emperor Taishang, and whoever is the lord of the Wa State has to look at his face.

Although 40,000 young men were conscripted to go to the Haidong Peninsula, its potential was far from being tapped.

Are women worth anything? Is the remaining young man worth anything? The entire Wadao has a population of one million, not to mention the elderly and children, at least half of the women and young people are spent, and these people are all spent in vain.

In order to find a way to live, many women in the Japanese country even took the initiative to be trafficked to the Tang Dynasty as slaves and maids, but Xue Ne's business was still too conservative.

Of course, the young and strong of the Wa Kingdom can also be sold, the Tang Dynasty now has a vast territory, but the population is not large, and there is a lack of labor, if these young and strong people of the Wa Kingdom are sold to the Tang Dynasty, is it not a ready-made labor force?

The landlords and gentry in various states and counties of Datang must be very interested in this business.

Foreigners, don't be too nice to them, make sure they don't starve, and then let them work hard.

Moreover, after the young and strong people in the territory of the Wa Kingdom were emptied, it was also conducive to the rule of the Tang Dynasty over the Wa Island.

The population of the Tang Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom slowly blended with each other, coupled with the brainwashing of the Central Plains culture, the slow unification of writing customs, and the precipitous decline of the population base.

It's easy to occupy a piece of land, but it's hard to digest it and make it truly your own.

The process is very long, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, even half a century.

In the previous life, the Wa Kingdom occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom and took it into its territory, and there was a U.S. military base on it, but did it really conquer the Ryukyus? More than half a century later, the Ryukyuan people still have no sense of belonging to the Wa Kingdom, and they are fighting for independence every year.

Massacres, cultural brainwashing, population dilution, erasure of the written customs and language of the original country, all kinds of means, coupled with the subtle influence of the long years, it is possible to truly digest this land.

Not only the Wa kingdom, but also Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla.

Li Zhi still has a long way to go.

The Cui family had a banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, and Cui Linqian was obviously a little drunk.

Until the end of the banquet, several old clansmen of the Cui family were still sitting upright, whether they were drinking or eating, they were all slow and slow, and there was no gaffe at all.

For them, the observance of the etiquette of their ancestors is more important than their personal desires.

Li Qinzai observed him quietly, and only felt strange in his heart, is this kind of person really happy in the world?

The banquet dispersed, and Cui Linqian personally arranged a wing room for Li Qinzai and Cui Jie in the backyard.

The wing room is Cui Jie's boudoir when she was not married before, it is very clean, there is a faint incense, the bed and bedding are new, there are some books on the bookcase in the room, and a few calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, and the payment is Cui Jie's own handwriting.

Seeing Li Qinzai looking at her boudoir, Cui Jie was a little shy, and hurriedly took off the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, rolled them up and stuffed them under the bed.

"What do you receive, let me appreciate Madame's Mobao as a husband, I can't see that Madame was still a talented girl when she was young." Li Qinzai said with a smile.

Cui Jie blushed and said: "The graffiti works of the inadvertent year, the husband didn't look at it, and when he wrote it down, he felt proud, so he hung them up with the cheekiness, and now I look at it again, but it's extremely ridiculous." ”

Li Qinzai shook his head disagreeingly: "What's ridiculous about this, look at the words I wrote, it looks like a ghost, but I still write it in a grand manner, and I dare to write it to the Son of Heaven." ”

"As long as you are thick-skinned, there is nothing shy in the world, ma'am, be brave."

Cui Jie glanced at him: "The concubine's face is not as thick as one-thousandth of the husband's, I'm afraid she is not so brave, and the husband is more considerate." ”

Li Qinzai sighed, he didn't expect that the husband and wife could also talk to death when they chatted, what about Qin Se and Ming?

The old man is drunk, and it is not appropriate to talk about business at this time.

Li Qinzai rested in Cui Jie's boudoir for two hours, and woke up when it was almost dark.

The dinner was still full of guests, but it was still full of big fish, big meat, and beautiful wine.

After the guests and hosts dispersed, Li Qinzai called Xue Ne, found Cui Linqian, and the three of them walked in the huge back garden of Cui's house, talking about business as they walked.

"Selling?" Cui Linqian's brows furrowed, and he looked at the two of them with unconscionable eyes.

Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "It's not about selling people, to be precise, it's about helping the Japanese population find jobs, improving the happiness of their people, and exchanging their wisdom and sweat for food......

Cui Linqian nodded: "That's right, it's a sale." ”

Li Qinzai: "............"

Everyone is a decent person, can't we change it to a euphemism?

Cui Linqian stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't fool the old man, do you think I haven't seen it?" The Cui family's singing and dancing orchids, as well as dozens of Kunlun slaves, were all bought from the market. ”

"But people's business is done above board, selling people is selling people, and there are no brazen reasons for you."

Li Qinzai sighed, the old man is getting worse and harder......

Xue Ne, who was pushing a wheelchair behind him, straightened his chest and said: "That's right, we are just selling people, selling Japanese people, and earning fair and honest money, what's the shame?" ”

Cui Linqian turned his head and glanced at Xue Ne, then looked at Li Qinzai and said with a smile: "Xue Gongzi's words are more shameless than yours, but the old man likes his upright temper, let's talk about it, what kind of charter, although it is said that it is sold to the Japanese people, but after all, it hurts Tianhe, if the reputation of the Cui family is ruined, the old man will not agree." ”

Li Qinzai thought for a while and said: "I am responsible for dealing with the affairs of the Japanese officials, well, in the Japanese country, there is still a little bit of power in the country, and the virtuous brother can let the Xue family send people to collect the young men and women in the Japanese country, and gather one or two thousand people to send a boat." ”

"As for the Zhangren, they can set up a station in Dengzhou, and after they are sent to Dengzhou, the Cui family will be responsible for selling these laborers, and with the prestige of the Cui family in Qingzhou, they must be quite familiar with the landlords and gentry in Hedong Hebei Province, and they should not refuse the young and strong laborers, right?"

Cui Linqian hesitated for a moment and sighed: "To be honest, this business has a bit of a bad reputation, and the old man really can't make up his mind......

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Don't pretend, it's not time to distribute benefits, pretend to be too early and waste your expression......"

"Can high school and reputation be exchanged for money? There are so many wastelands in Hedong and Hebei, and tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 young and strong laborers have invested here to open up wasteland and cultivated land, I don't believe that you are not moved. ”
