Section 54 Lying on the beach for three and a half years
"What? I am the biggest slave trader in the world? Yun Ye, I will cut you into pieces!" Li Er's crazy roar came from the Liangyi Palace. He would never have thought that the business managed by the queen was actually
It's human trafficking.
This is a very ancient business. This kind of business has been around since primitive people had class consciousness. It is almost the same as the flesh and blood trade and the killer trade as the three oldest businesses in the world, but it sounds a bit more unpleasant. Li Er
Knowing that there were suddenly a lot of Korean maids and Silla maids in Chang'an, I thought it was the prestige of the Tang Dynasty that made these foreign women travel thousands of miles to Chang'an to make a living, but I didn't expect that the queen was vigorously promoting it.
"Your Majesty, this is a bad idea. I got the slave trade from those boys. My brother, the Cheng family, and the Qin family almost broke their heads for this business. You don't know.
, under your management in the past few years, the Tang Dynasty has been prospering. I heard that commercial taxes have accounted for half of the total taxes. As long as the commercial taxes are more, you can lighten the corvee and reduce the taxes, reduce some burdens on farmers in the world, and let
Everyone in heaven has tasted the good taste of the prosperous age.
However, there are more businessmen, but the number of people cultivating the land cannot be reduced. Therefore, they are all trying to take advantage of the surrounding countries. You conquered Gaochang, and Xue Yantuo returned with a great victory. Why do those generals prefer to grab prisoners of war instead of gold and silver beads?
Bei? The reason is that there is no one in the workshop at home.
The people in Guanzhong are unwilling to do business, so there is no labor in the workshops. If you sell the people of the Tang Dynasty, you will be beheaded, so you have to sell people from other countries. I am reserve labor for the large amount of wool that is coming in the spring. As long as
Woman, when the time comes that the mountains of wool on the grassland are piled up in Chang'an, what will you do? I don't have anyone to help me, so I can't go there myself with the people in the palace.
The prairie has been the chief culprit of the Central Plains since ancient times. You are a generation of British masters, and you have made those barbarians submissive with an iron fist. However, your descendants cannot be British masters in every generation. When the time comes, you will have to rely on profits to keep them in line.
Tie them tightly to our carriage. If there are foreign enemies, they will attack. If there is a disaster, they will block it. Only then will we be willing to give him a bowl of food.
That’s why I disregarded my face and accepted this kind of business of killing a thousand swords. Besides, this kind of business can only be done under my wings. Those women from Goryeo and Silla will not be too miserable. Look at it.
Besides my concubine, can you find a kind person among your subordinates? Yun Ye is kind, but this guy has nothing to say to the people of the Tang Dynasty, but you can tell by looking at his actions in Lingnan. This guy is not a kind person.
A good man, I heard that he nailed people to wooden racks and filled an island."
After listening to Changsun's words, Li Er felt much more at ease. He did this purely for the sake of doing good deeds. Cheng Yaojin? Changsun Wuji? Qin Qiong? These people are all people stained with blood on the battlefield, and they really don't count.
Kind.
"Don't talk about Yun Ye's nailing people to the wooden frame again in the future. The troops who dare to enter my Datang territory without permission do so lightly. If they are encountered by me, their fate will be a hundred times more miserable, so
, there is nothing wrong with this matter, there is only merit, no fault, even if someone wants to say it, let him tell me, hehe..."
Changsun bit off the silk thread in his hand, put a soft robe on Li Er, squatted down and pulled the hem, took two steps back, clapped his hands and said, "You put on this cotton robe, it really fits you perfectly."
Cheng Qian sent fifty pieces of cotton to the palace, saying that it could be used to make outer robes, which would be warm and light. With it, you would not have to wear those heavy furs. It was indeed a good thing. How come these good things were so popular in the Tang Dynasty?
No.
You are the emperor, and you should ask God carefully why he gave potatoes, corn, cotton and other good things to the barbarians. If we good people want cotton, we have to go to war."
The wise words of the eldest grandson made Li Er laugh heartily. He grabbed the eldest grandson's hand and dragged him out. He turned around and said with a smile: "We also have a good year. Concubine Yin and the others arranged a song and dance. I heard that just
Only three hundred palace lanterns were used. Let’s go and enjoy them. We won’t go home until we get drunk tonight...
Xi Tong sobered up and asked Yun Ye to prepare three fastest horses for him. He wanted to run all the way back to Hebei. The concubine in the nineteenth room counted on her fingers and was about to give birth, so she did not dare to delay.
.
The Yun family's horse was naturally at his disposal, except for a large bag of toffee and four gold pins. It was wearing Yun Ye's bearskin cloak and disappeared in a flash.
Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when my daughter returns home. My aunt came back with a big belly. Yun Ye glanced at Li Shi with dissatisfaction. Li Shi blushed for a rare time and lowered his head to drink tea. His aunt was sitting next to Yun Ye.
His arm was twisted hard.
The mother will also come. As soon as she enters the door, she wipes all the pearls and emeralds from her head, changes into the girl's dress, and drags Daya to her old embroidery building. This house has always been empty, and there are few people in the Yun family.
, the house is big, so I might as well leave her married daughter’s room as it is, so that she can have something to think about when she comes back.
Runniang cried when she got home, as if she had been wronged a lot. The furious Yun Ye grabbed Qin Laoer and was about to beat him, but Runniang quickly pulled him away and kept saying that she was not wronged and just missed her family.
sharp.
"Every morning I have to go to my father and my eldest mother to say hello, which is okay, but I also have to say hello to my eldest brother and sister-in-law, then my second, third and fourth mother, and finally my own mother. I slept for a while, and it was a little late.
, the second mother said that I had no rules, and said that our family did not teach me well, and that it was due to lack of tutoring. The eldest mother thought she was too talkative, so she slapped her, and she wanted to jump into the well, saying that she was bullied by the juniors, and that she had a headache.
The jewelry on my head is not as valuable as the one on my head. I gave her a hairpin, but she threw it away."
After listening to Runniang's cry, he looked at Qin Laoer who lowered his head and said nothing. Yun Ye said: "Huaiying, this is your family matter. I won't care about it. It's true that I neglected to discipline Runniang. I'm sorry."
I will apologize to the old man at the end of the year."
Qin Huaiying blushed and waved her hands repeatedly, and saluted Yun Ye before saying: "Brother, this is not to blame Runniang. Runniang was raised as a lady in Yun Mansion. Although she is only a cousin, she is treated the same as Da Ya and the others.
It's all the same. She has never been wronged at home. The younger brother is useless and not taken seriously at home. The second mother just got jealous when she saw that her younger brother married better than the third younger brother. She will be fine in a few days.
"
Yun Ye nodded and said: "You think so. You have also studied in the academy for three years. I think it's time to go to the local area or get some experience in the army. The navy doesn't want it. If you want to join the army, you can try it."
How about youweiwei? After the assessment, I will say hello to Mr. Yuchi. You are not qualified to enjoy the protection. You can only serve as the Xuejie Colonel in accordance with the regulations. This is an official position at the eighth rank and is considered a special case. What do you think? "
Qin Huaiying stood up happily to express his thanks, but saw Runniang pulling Yun Ye's arm and saying: "Brother, Huaiying is a top student in the academy. If he wants to join the army, he will be a captain of Xuangjie School wherever he goes. I want to
When Huaiying joins the navy under your command, he can just follow the ship. We don’t want him to go to the battlefield."
Yun Ye smiled and said nothing. Qin Huaiying said to Runniang: "Don't bother me anymore. It's very difficult to get into the Youwei Guard. What to do in the navy? It's hard for me to do it. This matter is settled.
I will go to Youweiwei and be stationed in Luoyang. Uncle Hou and Uncle Yuchi are both here. If you can't do anything wrong to me, you can also go to Luoyang and we will settle down there."
After hearing that she could live her own little life, Runniang became happy again and took Qin Huaiying to her boudoir. Only the old lady looked at Runiang and remained silent, as if she was very unhappy.
"Grandma, big families have more rules. With more people, there are more things to do. There is no need to fight for shortcomings. Just avoid it. Go to Luoyang and settle down on your own. I will help if I can. Huaiying is also a talent.
, you will show your face wherever you go, it’s not like you don’t know Run Niang’s temperament, she has been like this since she was a child, heartless.”
Seeing the two people walking away, Yun Ye whispered to comfort his grandma not to be angry.
"Both of them are here to trouble you. Grandma is worried that it will have a bad impact on you. You are the backbone of the family and cannot be compromised on these trivial matters. The other girls can help if they can.
If you help them, they will accept their fate. They have survived the poor life, but don’t you believe that they will not be able to survive the rich life?"
Yun Ye helped the old lady to the concierge. There were already several old ladies in the concierge. The old man was sitting there drinking tea. Grandma's bones were much weaker. She rarely went to the Buddhist temple during this time, but she actually liked being with these old people.
Sitting together drinking tea and chatting, sometimes Yun Ye would politely sit with them for a while, listen to their wild nonsense, and talk about interesting things about Zhuangzi. The things they talked about were always very lively...
Li Shi was looking through many of Yun Ye's paintings of tortoises in his study, picking up one from time to time and nodding his head to express his satisfaction. He never understood why Yun Ye only focused on the tortoise path.
I haven't seen him paint for two months, and his skills in painting this tortoise are getting more and more exquisite. Yun Ye once told him before that some people spend their whole lives painting tigers, some people paint dragons, some people paint donkeys, some people paint shrimps, and as for painting cows
None of them are on the stage, so I decided to specialize in painting tortoises. When the time comes, I will give people a thumbs up to praise. Marquis Yun’s tortoise painting is really amazing. How about you give me a picture of tortoises? With a stroke of the pen, one of them comes alive.
The tortoise pops out on the paper, looks cute and naive, and has an auspicious meaning. It is a rare gift for relatives and friends.
He always felt that Yun Ye's demeanor when he said this was strange. It seemed a bit sarcastic and a bit like a villain. However, in the Tang Dynasty, giving away bastards was indeed a symbol of longevity and fortune. There was nothing inappropriate. Even the emperor would give it as a gift.
have to.
After turning over a picture of a tortoise with a poem, he seemed to have some insights. He only saw a letter: I have been lying on the beach for three and a half years, and today the waves hit me and I turned over. (To be continued.)
