Chapter Eighty-Six: Surplus Value (Seeking Reading)

Hearing that he was going to catch the eagle soon, Huo Qubing was so excited that he rubbed his hands vigorously and stared at Yang Chuan with a faint gaze: "I heard that my aunt has practiced your martial arts, or how about I try it?" ”

Yang Chuan said with a smile: "Okay, but if you hurt me, the matter of catching the eagle can only be pushed back." ”

Huo Qu was sick and lost interest.

With a whip in his hand, he knocked a ferocious-looking servant to the ground, strode forward, and scolded: "Let you run to bully my brother Yang Chuan!" ”

In Yang Chuan's fiefdom, the servants were divided into two groups, one of which was sent by Princess Pingyang, nominally to help Yang Chuan open up wasteland and farm, but in fact, it was better to say that they were sent over to protect and serve Cao Xiang.

The other group of hundreds of people is the people of Princess Guantao, all of whom used to be veterans of the Han Dynasty, but they are best at catching people; Their main livelihood is to catch those 'stateless savages' hidden in the depths of the mountains and forests, string them into a team with ropes, and then escort them to the mule and horse markets in Chang'an, Yangling and other places to be sold.

Well, it's pretty much a slave hunting group.

At the beginning of the Han Empire, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang repeatedly ordered that human trafficking was not allowed, and it was not allowed to force the good into slavery, but in the face of huge profits, the emperor's words were sometimes just a fart.

For example, this 'slave hunting group' business, according to Cao Xiang, not only Princess Guantao is doing it, but in fact, many wealthy families are doing it, otherwise, where did some wealthy and powerful families come from?

For example, the family of King Zhuo Sun, a large household in Shuzhong, is said to have more than 50,000 servants who smelt iron in a few mines alone.

What made Yang Chuan feel a little relieved was Princess Pingyang, Cao Xiang, and Wei Qing, who were not interested in the slave hunting business, especially Wei Qing, because he was born as a slave, so he was extremely disgusted with the slave collection of wealthy families.

Of course, the general trend is that even if Wei Qing doesn't like to turn people into slaves, he can't change the fact that his family has three or five thousand servants......

"Yang Chuan, this group of guys staying in the fiefdom is a big trouble after all."

Cao Xiang had a gloomy face, looked at the person who beat Princess Guantao with Huo Quai, and said worriedly: "The eldest princess of Guantao, my uncle's aunt and mother-in-law, she is not a good stubble, Huo Quzhi caught these people to help you open up the wasteland and farm, it is simply a stupid trick."

My uncle's Yulin Army, that old witch will definitely not dare to provoke, but what about you Yang Chuan?

If it weren't for the fact that I, Cao Xiang, had recently lived in your Zhuangzi, and my mother had sent hundreds of subordinates to hide in the surrounding shadows, I am afraid that your fiefdom would have been flattened a long time ago. ”

Yang Chuan was actually very worried.

The six silly eagles and Sister Leopard had already sent all kinds of information, and in the mountains and forests around his fiefdom, there were not only hundreds of parts of Princess Pingyang's family, but also hundreds of 'slave hunters' secretly coveting them.

"Special mother, I'm a little cook, how can I be," Yang Chuan couldn't help but curse, "When Cao Xiang is gone, Huo Qu is sick and has been in the Yulin Army all year round, won't my lonely 2,000 acres of land become a big piece of fat?" ”

Cao Xiang nodded, then shook his head again and said: "That's not enough, these hundreds of my servants will be given to you, and I will have their household registration changed to your Yang family."

In addition, we have to find a way to get you a decent identity first, which is the top priority. ”

Cao Xiang is a bastard, relying on his gold-lettered signboard of 'dying', he almost beat the invincible opponents in Chang'an City, and he is a villain, but for Yang Chuan, he is really good.

His body is very weak, but his brain is really good.

"Why don't you let my mother come forward and help you get the identity of Yu Linlang?" Cao Xiang said suddenly.

"Is the Yulin Army missing a bean sprout?" Yang Chuan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his two thin arms, "Look, it's a little stronger than you, and I went to the Yulin Army to eat." ”

There was one sentence he didn't dare to say, that is, he didn't want to go to the army to work for the surnamed Liu anymore.

Yang Chuan has one of the most basic thoughts, this person, for the sake of the so-called Han Empire, just shed blood once in his life and fight once, there is no need to put his own life into it for the so-called military merits.

According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, if you can grow crops well, you can still have the opportunity to increase the rank of official and even worship the prime minister, so there is really no need to go to the Yulin Army.

This is one of the reasons why he has been tossing hard in his fiefdom from the beginning......

……

Huo Qubing escorted twenty truckloads of flour, wheat bran and two carts of pot helmets back to Chang'an.

Cao Xiang had nothing to do, so he squatted in the field to observe the poultry catching insects, eating grass, and laying eggs, and his gorgeous and expensive silk clothes were stained with mud and grass clippings, and he was about to become a stupid goose with a slender neck all day long.

Yang Chuan was very busy.

He personally led a group of servants to dig an aqueduct two or three miles upstream of Weishui, and dug an artificial lake of about 60 acres on a high ground in his fiefdom and filled it with water.

There is too much sediment in Weishui to directly irrigate the crops, so he has to find a way to get a decent irrigation system for his fiefdom, so that he can ensure the harvest in drought and flood.

In addition, a stone bridge needed to be built over the Weishui River, which ran through his fiefdom.

These two things were thought of when he first came to the fiefdom, but there were too many bad things to delay recently, and he took advantage of the free time recently to complete it.

Yang Chuan has a strong premonition, that is, the old woman of Liu Concubine will definitely not give up, maybe one day she will tear her face and cry in front of Liu Che, there should be no big event, but the hundreds of 'slave hunters' captured by Huo Qubing will definitely not be able to save it......

Therefore, it is better to squeeze their 'surplus value' out of the equation.

Digging canals, building artificial lakes, and digging stones at the foot of the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and then transporting them piece by piece to the Weishui edge, just a few heavy physical tasks, hundreds of slave hunters quickly became exhausted.

Some people began to take risks, taking advantage of the opportunity to dig stones, and fled into a mountain forest.

Then, in less than a dozen breaths, there were a few terrible wails from the depths of the mountain forest, but it was those fugitives who were hunted and killed on the spot by Sister Leopard and six stupid eagles.

Seeing the bloody claws of the six stupid eagles, as well as Sister Leopard's blood-stained face and a foot-long pink tongue sticking out, the other slave hunters were already frightened, where did they dare to have the idea of escaping?

For all this, Yang Chuan simply ignored it.

He knew that even if these guys could escape the hunt of Sister Leopard and the stupid eagles, they would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of Princess Pingyang's family, and in places he couldn't see, he didn't know how many tribes and dead soldiers who protected Cao Xiang were hidden......

This feeling is very sour, a bit of the excitement of survival in the wilderness, but Yang Chuan doesn't like it at all.

He likes a quiet and tranquil life, really, he just wants to plant fields, grow vegetables, engage in breeding or something, and then do some small business, and earn a few hundred catties of gold every year is very content.

He didn't want to live that kind of day of fighting, killing and killing.

'Why don't you give that old woman another cruel hand and never suffer again?' ’

On this day, Yang Chuan had just given birth to a killing machine, and Huo Quzhi led fifty Yu Lin Jun to arrive.

This product looked very energetic and very happy, because he brought a piece of news that made Yang Chuan very uncomfortable: "My uncle-in-law said that there are three ways for Yang Chuan to choose ......"
