Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Road to Heaven and Man
Solve this group of barbarians, the black curtain has been pulled down, on the branches of the jungle, the half-moon wants to hide and shamefully show its head, in the sky, countless bright stars twinkle with a little starlight, night, silent as water.
The captured barbarians of the entire tribe from old to young were all tied up with tough vines, and then surrounded by several bonfires to prevent the barbarians from escaping, Leng Zhuo gnawed on the fish roasted on the fire rack, the snow-white fish meat was very fragrant, but Leng Zhuo was very resentful.
The reason why he came to exterminate this group of barbarians, in addition to using this group of barbarians to sacrifice the dead, was more to make some money from this group of barbarians, but obviously this group of ignorant and uncivilized barbarians really disappointed Leng Zhuo, because they had been barbarian robbers for many years, there was not even a shadow of gold coins in the entire tribe, even if there were no gold coins, silver coins were okay.
disappointed, very disappointed, but when Leng Zhuo was gnawing on the fish, his eyes full of resentment were sweeping the barbarian women under the firelight, I have to say that this group of barbarian women is very surnamed, very enchanting, full of wild surnames, it is impossible for the barbarian girls to have gorgeous palace clothes, not even ordinary linen dresses, but they are wearing that kind of simple animal skin costumes.
The animal skin only wrapped the critical parts, originally Leng Zhuo thought that this group of barbarian men were all rude to death, the legs were elongated, and even the chest was full of hair, and the woman must not be much worse, but it turned out that Leng Zhuo's idea was wrong.
The skin of the barbarian girl is very fair, it may be that the jungle water and soil are more nourishing, the skin is not as thick as I thought, all of them are fine-skinned and tender, in the firelight, exude an attractive milky white luster, well, the figure of the barbarian girl is also a first-class good, may be related to eating meat all year round, the figure is convex and backward, the curve is exquisite, the snow-white long neck, the round shoulders, the fullness tightly bound by the animal skin, the slender waist like wicker, the peach-like buttocks, the slender and elastic long legs, the legs, the waist seems to be full of strength.
The corners of Leng Zhuo's mouth couldn't help but drool a little, turned his head, and said to the future housekeeper of the Earl's Palace, Li Ya'er: "Ya'er, you said that this group of barbarian girls is strange and beautiful, and their figure is not bad, and they have such wild surnames, there will definitely be many men who like it!"
When Li Ya'er heard Leng Zhuo's words, she couldn't help but be vigilant, and said, "Young Master, you don't like barbarian girls, right! No, absolutely not!"
Leng Zhuo Khan didn't say anything, why didn't he do it: "Why not, I see that this group of barbarian women, whether it is their figure, appearance, or the beauty of that wild surname, tsk!
Li Ya'er snorted and listened to Leng Zhuo praising this group of barbarian girls, what's the matter, after a long time, she actually fell in love with this group of barbarian women, isn't it that her breasts are a little bigger than her, her buttocks are a little more upturned than hers, and she wears a little less clothes, Li Ya'er opened her small mouth and took a bite of the fish fiercely, she decided, no matter what, she couldn't let the young master take this group of barbarian girls home.
"Someone bought it?" Li Ya'er was still snorting angrily, but when she heard the last sentence, she turned her head and said, "Young Master, what did you just say!"
"Oh, I said that this group of barbarian girls is very good, maybe they can be sold for a good price, this kind of appearance, how can you get dozens of gold coins!"
The Tianlong Empire allows slave trade, and when he was in Youzhou in the north, Leng Zhuo saw that many people bought Hu slaves and came back to work, and now they are guarding the wild jungle, and there is nothing nearby, and it seems that the only thing to take the shot is a large number of barbarians.
Li Ya'er blinked and looked at Leng Zhuo with big eyes, and after a long time, she reached out and touched Leng Zhuo's forehead, and said, "It's okay, I don't have a fever!"
"Am I having a bad idea? Isn't there a market for barbarian girls?" Leng Zhuo looked at Li Ya'er's expression and hurriedly asked.
"Young master, our family is a nobleman, the lord is an earl, and you are the future viscount, how can you think about doing the business of slaves, this idea is better for the young master to dispel, in addition, it is not good to be told to others, if you don't know that our Leng family will become the laughing stock of the aristocratic circle!"
"Why, what's wrong with the slave trade, the empire doesn't seem to prohibit this kind of slave trade, besides, what's wrong with the nobles, the nobles also have to eat!"
"Young master, nobles are not allowed to get involved in the slave trade, because it will damage the glory of the nobles, only the most low-class businessmen will do that kind of despicable business without a surname, if the dignified earl's mansion goes to buy and sell slaves, and is sued by the noble inquisition, but will be deprived of the title, not to mention that even if there are no such restrictions, the young master will not be able to buy and sell slaves!"
"Why?" Leng Zhuo didn't expect that his fastest method of getting money would not work, you must know that in his world, the slave trade in the Age of Discovery made the Europeans the masters of the world, although the method is a little sinful, but the Leng family's foundation is too weak, and it is almost impossible to rely on normal methods to develop and grow, even if no one makes trouble, step by step, it will take at least decades, hundreds of years, but compared with those old nobles, it is still worse than those old nobles.
"Because the slave trade requires a trade license, although the empire allows the slave trade, it also imposes heavy taxes on the slave trade, so this trade looks good, but it is not very profitable, unless it is the kind of underground slave trading field, but it is illegal!"
"And this rule? Leng Zhuo dispelled the idea of slave trade at this time, the underground slave trading market is estimated to be done by many nobles, but there is a premise, that is, there is enough power, for the Leng family, it is obviously not suitable, because there are too many people staring at the Leng family.
Leng Zhuo was lying on the grass, a thousand things, the Leng family is now in a strange circle, although the territory area is large, but the usable area is pitiful, most of the territory is dense jungle area, and there are many barbarian tribes in the jungle, which is a threat at all times.
There is very little production in the fiefdom, the only bulk is even grain, although there are only more than 1,000 hectares of weeping blood valley, but because the land is fertile, there will be a large surplus of grain every year, but these grains can not be exchanged for much money, because Chuzhou is a grain production area, the price of grain is pitiful, and the price of transporting it to the west is good, but it is a pity that the Leng family fief is in the southeast corner of Chuzhou, and the surplus grain of the Leng family is not enough to run a trip, and the loss is all lost, except for the grain, it is wood, but it seems that it is not only the Leng family fief next to the wild jungle, and the general wood can not be sold at any price。
Thinking about it, Leng Zhuo can't think of any other way to make money, opening a shop is a way, the aristocracy has tax exemptions, as long as you open a shop, you will make a steady profit, but the problem is that someone is squeezing you, or you can't play with others, and you have a headache.
In his ears, the evening breeze swept through the trees, making a rustling sound, not far away, the rolling river gently slapped the riverbank, Leng Zhuo suddenly sat up, looked at the river not far away, and said to Li Ya: "This river seems to be very wide, Ya'er, do you know where this river leads!"
Li Ya'er was taken aback by Leng Zhuo's surprise, stretched out her hand to brush her chest, looked at the river beside her, and said: "Who knows where it flows, but we are already in the southeast corner of Chuzhou, looking at the direction of this river, it may flow to Yangzhou!"
Yangzhou, Leng Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, but he looked at Leng Chen, who was looking over on the side, Leng Ye, and said: "Leng Ye, on the fiefdom map you showed me before, there seems to be a hilly jungle in the east, which just blocks the junction between Chuzhou and the south of Yangzhou. ”
Leng Ye nodded and said, "Well, but what's the matter!"
"Haha, I have thought of the way to make a fortune, but before that, I need to know where this river flows to Yangzhou, and whether this river is smooth along the way!" Leng Zhuo laughed, it is really an endless road, in the era when there were no planes, cars, and trains, transportation caused a high cost of resource circulation, a special product in Chuzhou may not be expensive, but if you don't go two or three hundred miles, the price of this specialty will rise, far away from five or six hundred miles, it may be doubled, if it is farther, two or three thousand miles, it is not impossible to sell two or three times, or even higher, and there is no traffic road tax in this other world, which means that if a convenient trade route is opened up, then the wealth will roll in, and this big river located in the Leng family's fiefdom is likely to be the Leng family's way out。
