After all, Ying Lao's words gave the head of the Shengjia family, Shengxiong, a great impact, and he was afraid that he was convinced of it in his heart.

After all, there are not many people who know the deeds behind them, although the shadow elder has never said it explicitly, but those who understand it will be clear when they hear it.

It is this kind of ambiguous words that makes people more thought-provoking and convinced, after all, what they think in their hearts is easier to accept and believe than what others say.

Presumably, even if Ji Silian told the Singer the truth, the Singer would not believe it.

will even suspect that this may be a deliberate attempt by the Mercy Moon Pavilion to provoke the relationship between the Shengjia and the Shangguan family.

It must be known that the Shangguan family is different from the Liuyun Sect, and if its two powerhouses compete, there will be one injury, and the biggest possibility is that both will lose.

And the Shangguan family, which has an official background and has elite soldiers and strong generals, seems to have a better chance of winning, and it will be themselves who will suffer when the time comes.

Knowing that going against the Shangguan family is not beneficial to his own family, the Shengjia will definitely not do it.

The matter of Wushan Iron Mine is still the words of Shangguan Qiuyu and the eldest son of the Shengjia family yesterday, and after being heard by Tie Yi, he specially reminded Shangguan Qiuyu.

Tie Yi, as the commander of the Iron Guard, is not just a reckless man who can only shout and kill, you must know that Tie Ying, the leader of the Iron Guard, is the deputy general of his cheap grandfather.

As the deputy commander of the Iron Guard, this Tie Yi is naturally not far behind, and the Iron Guards are not far behind, except for being brainwashed into being loyal to the Shangguan family.

Basically, if you put it in the army, you can use it as an officer, and every iron guard sent to the army can be qualified to take the position of a lieutenant in charge of an army of 3,000 people.

Moreover, they have to be elite soldiers, not those county soldiers who are negligent in training.

Therefore, since his cheap grandfather attacked Huangzhou, Tie Yi had a general understanding of the southern barbarian forces in Huangzhou.

However, Shangguan Qiuyu's words yesterday made Tie Yi think that Shangguan Qiuyu had the intention to cut off the retreat of the Southern Barbarians, but he was restricted by it because of the lack of troops.

So, he told Shangguan Qiuyu the news that there were a large number of soldiers and strong men in the Wushan Iron Mine.

However, Tie Yi only knows the specific situation of Wushan, but the specifics are not very clear.

Shangguan Qiuyu, who was in a hurry, paid attention to those soldiers and strong men, isn't it often said in the 21st century that population is the primary productive force?

Southern Xinjiang is a vast and sparsely populated place, although its own fiefdom has attracted a lot of people and a large number of slaves captured in the war because of the light taxes paid by their own cheap grandfathers.

However, for a Shangguan family that occupies half of the land in a state, the population in the fief is far from enough.

And the strong men who can be captured by the Nanban to be miners must be strong and strong, so these are exactly what their families need.

According to system statistics, there are seven iron mines in southern Xinjiang, and there are no less than one million miners in each iron mine, all of whom are strong men and Dayu of Huangzhou.

With such a large-scale labor force, Shangguan Qiuyu was extremely excited when he thought about it.

You know, there is no human rights in this world, these people were captured by the Nanban as miners, and they became slaves.

If you free them, then these people will become your slaves, and you don't need to send them home.

They can even be bought and sold at will, and the reason why the Shangguan family fights in the north every year is that it not only does not get weaker and weaker, but gets stronger and stronger.

In addition to the fact that the imperial court will provide some material support, the main reason is that after winning every battle, everything on the other side is yours.

The population and materials that the northern captives snatched from the border of Dayu often have a part of it, and they will be snatched away by the army of the Shangguan family, and the people of Dayu who are robbed often become their own slaves.

War is the best way to capture slaves, Dayu has a vast territory, almost every moment there will be rebellion, or foreign invasion.

At the end of each war, the rebels, the guilty, the foreign soldiers, and the common people become spoils of war.

They will become slaves and be sold to Dayu or other foreigners who need slaves, and the Shangguan family, who is the leading general.

Naturally, it will also get a piece of the pie, but the Shangguan family will never use it to turn it into wealth, because it has enough required fiefdoms and the rewards of the imperial court, the Shangguan family has never been short of money.

It only needs the population, so every time there is a war led by their own cheap grandfather or the ancestors of the Shangguan family, after the war is over, all the strong and middle-aged men will be directly picked up and finally sent to their own fiefdoms.

Then, it became a sharp weapon for the Shangguan family to fight on the battlefield, which is why the Shangguan family fought every year, and the loss rate of soldiers was very amazing.

However, there was never a shortage of soldiers, and the reason for this was that these captured slaves basically became the private soldiers of the Shangguan family in the end.

The fittest survive, and the unfit are eliminated, and it is precisely because of this that the soldiers who remained in the end created the myth that the Shangguan family was undefeated.

In these years, the private soldiers of the Shangguan family had no chance to fight, they had no entry or exit, and the population in the fief gradually increased, resulting in the fief of the Shangguan family in just ten years.

It has been greatly developed, and except for the fact that the combat strength of the army has not been increased, all other increases are very amazing.

But these are far from enough, the population represents the productive forces, represents the soldiers, no matter how much it is, it is not too much, obviously the cheap grandfather also understands this truth.

Therefore, the Shangguan family moved from the north to the south in just ten years, under such a great influence.

It soon recovered, and is now even more powerful than before, due to the dividends of population growth.

Nanban can't be destroyed for the time being, because if no one makes trouble for Dayu, then his own existence will lose its original value.

Only when Nanban is always peeping in southern Xinjiang, then the imperial court will give money and food, feed their own food, and spoil them all the time, so that their own family can get more convenience.

Occasionally, even if he did something out of the ordinary, the court and the royal family would only turn a blind eye and would not trouble his own family.

This is what it means to raise self-respect.

However, since Nanban cannot be annihilated in one fell swoop, Shangguan Qiuyu will not let Nanban take advantage of it because of this.

Aren't they short of iron ore? Then they don't give them a single piece of iron ore, and if they want it, they exchange it for their medicinal herbs.

And the soldiers and strong men of several mines, Shangguan Qiuyu will not cheapen the Nanban and let them become the slaves of the Nanban.

At that time, the Nanban sold them to the big merchants who traded slaves, but the huge transaction was for nothing to increase the strength of the Nanban.

This is something he doesn't want to see and don't want to face.

You must know that the profits behind the slave trade are amazing, and those who dare to do slave business have an amazing background behind them, otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to do this business.

If those people in the Nanban were sold to those merchants, Shangguan Qiuyu would not be able to lead his troops to rob them.

If that happens, they will provoke the anger of the people, break the rules, and will be dealt with by the people behind them.

Therefore, he wants to take advantage of the fact that the war is not over yet, and if he can make more money, he will naturally make more money. And those who are favored by him will naturally laugh at it.
