Go to summer to find millet, and white dew to cut grain.
It is a pity that the millet harvest in Weizhou cannot be harvested this year. The raiders have destroyed Longyou, and most of the crops in Weizhou have been cut by the Turks to feed the horses.
After the beginning of autumn with blue sky and white clouds, the maturity of autumn is clearly reflected early. The green in the fields becomes more and more colorful, and the crops gradually mature.
But now, apart from some millet still surviving in the mountains, the fertile fields and crops in the river valleys have all been destroyed.
"Erlang is too soft-hearted."
Lu Huairang couldn't help but say when he saw Wu Huaiyu camping at the foot of Longxi City and cooking porridge to help the people.
"They are all my fellow citizens of the Tang Dynasty, how can I bear it?"
"Hey, they are all damn Turkic wolves." Princess Wanchun's consort cursed a few times, looking at the people queuing up to get porridge, his eyes were rolling, "Do you really want to take all these people to Zhang County?
"
"Although it is still hot now, it will be cold soon. What will the people who have no fixed place to live and no food and clothing do? The salt industry in Zhang County was not disturbed by Turks and Qiang people, and the situation is not the same now.
Okay, let’s just bring some people there. Manpower will be needed to resume salt production. The victims can also be paid for cutting firewood, carrying brine, boiling salt, transporting salt, etc. At least they can survive this winter, right?"
Lu Huairang said: "It is very troublesome to lead so many people. Do you really want to take the initiative to take on this trouble?"
When people are in such a state of starvation, they are actually at the mercy of others. When powerful people like Lu Huairang take advantage of the opportunity to attack, the people have no room to resist. They even have to be grateful to them, because not everyone has such an opportunity.
, if you don’t get it, your family may starve to death.
This does not include the hundreds of acres of working land.
This time he took advantage of the Longyou War and secretly bought a lot of fields at low prices, and he is still recruiting refugees. This guy never sees people when he is fighting, but he is very skilled in doing these things.
"If you think this is not good, then you can buy Turkic captives to be slaves in the manor. But if you buy those Turkic captives to herd and raise livestock, or even arrange for blacksmithing and forging, it may be okay, but if you want to grow crops, they have to do it.
Director."
Slaves are cheaper here in Longyou.
If these newly acquired lands are rented out, the income will not be as good as cultivating it yourself, but Huaiyu will definitely not have time to cultivate it, and he does not have the manpower now.
Xuanfu, Xianji, the name and the name are really special, but what does the name Zhenruhai mean?
"The nature of the Dharma is really like the sea, with immeasurable merits and virtues stored in it?" Huaiyu asked.
Huaiyu just ate two sheep treasures, which made him feel a little hot. Looking at the jade-faced young man Fan Xuanfu, he couldn't help but be a little distracted and wanted to do something frivolous, but it was a pity that the white tiger didn't cooperate.
In the evening, stay overnight outside the city.
"You'd better call me by my small name. How can I call me by my first name?" Fan Xuanfu let go of Huaiyu, walked to the side and sat down.
What's even more outrageous is that when Huaiyu wrestled with her, he actually couldn't beat her. She easily threw him over his shoulder.
Next, another vajra arm.
"Sister Fu, let's sit down and chat."
I don’t have that idea at the moment.
"Impressed,"
"You can't just ignore death, right?"
Of course, buying slaves is not cheap. Basically, in the capital, the price of a strong male slave is about the annual output of twenty acres of land, which is about twenty or thirty kilograms of millet. Ding maids, middle slaves, middle maids, etc. are even cheaper.
If you don't accept it, try again, and you will be stepped on directly.
For example, in the Battle of Taigu last year, Shi Wenyanbo, the Minister of Zhongshu and the commander of the Bingzhou Road March, and the emperor's confidant, were still herding sheep with the Turks. At the beginning of the year, the imperial court sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Turks.
The envoy was so bold that he actually planned to assassinate Jie Li. When the incident was revealed, he became a prisoner and became the companion of Minister Wen to herd sheep.
The prince rewarded him with two slaves, and Lu Huairang chose a pair of Huairen brothers for him. It is said that they were originally prisoners from Yizhou. They were very young and strong and were now serving as the vanguard of Huaiyu's horse.
"Oh, I didn't know you had small characters. What are the small characters?"
Huaiyu did not blame Lu Huairang. After all, the Wu family had done this kind of thing. He had previously acquired a hundred acres of land in Bailuyuan. Zhao Cheng and his family wanted to defect to Wu Huairang. Huaiyu initially thought of hiring his family, but Lao Wu went directly to Zhao Cheng.
He paid false debts, and then made Zhao Cheng's family slaves of the Wu family, and their surnames were changed to Wu.
"I'll just call you Xuan Fu from now on."
Four hundred acres of new land were added to Longyou, all in the Qin and Wei states.
He dislikes Lu Huairang less and less now.
"Actually, there are other ways to help these people. Didn't you get a new land? Pick some strong victims and let them work on your farm." Lu Huairang was talking about nobles and powerful men.
As a habit, whenever there is a famine, they will take the opportunity to turn the court's tenant households into their own village tenant households, allowing them to escape their household registration.
This kind of thing has been going on for thousands of years. Even if the court explicitly prohibits it, there are policies and countermeasures. The nobles and powerful will never give up this behavior of poaching the court.
Lu Huairang's proposal is very tempting. Huaiyu now has more and more land, and he is becoming a landlord. He has one hundred acres of land in Bailu Township, Sanyuan. Previously, the inspection and medical school were rewarded with one hundred acres of permanent land. After the First World War in Weizhou, Chai Shao
He was also given a hundred acres of land as a reward,
Including the officials, the Honorable Officer still has 200 acres of Yongye land, so he now has 500 acres of land in his name, of which 420 acres are Yongye land, and 80 acres are divided into households.
But in comparison, the powerful people prefer to poach the corners of the court, lend money, and then ask others to repay the debt when the debt is repaid, or take advantage of famine and war to lure good people who have made household registrations to abandon their registration and flee, and become their
Buqu, tenant.
These Turkic prisoners in Longyou, including the leading nobles, will be sent to Chang'an to be used as bargaining chips in the future, or directly exchanged with the Turks. The Turks also have a large number of Tang people in their hands, including civilians and soldiers captured during the war.
officials.
Huaiyu had no plans to buy Turkic prisoners as slaves. Although he also knew that with Lu Huairang as a friend, he would definitely be able to buy some strong slaves at a more cost-effective price and take advantage of the imperial court. But he wanted to
I thought I might as well forget it.
Lu Huairang also specially made some sheep barbecue and invited a group of officers. Huaiyu went over to sit for a while and then left because he was tired.
Even though Lu Huairang was the emperor's son-in-law, he still didn't think there was anything wrong with this behavior.
"That's a matter for the local government," Lu Huairang said, forgetting that he was not only the camp and march staff officer, but also the Sima of the Qinzhou Governor's Mansion, and he was the local official.
"My destiny is in the ten directions, and the nature of the Dharma is as true as the sea." Fan Xuanfu said.
He liked Huaiyu very much, so he didn't hide the matter from Huaiyu and even suggested to him that they should do it together.
The long night.
"Hmph, don't call me so disgusting, just call me aunt."
Once you have a field, you have to cultivate it. It is most cost-effective to set up your own farm, recruit workers or keep slaves to cultivate it. Slaves can also give birth to slaves, which can continue to increase in value. Then they can raise cattle and horses, and the land will produce output every year. This is the most stable
of income.
Huaiyu frowned. He really didn't like the way people in the Tang Dynasty called them Alang, Xiaolang, and Dalang. It was fine, but calling a beautiful woman like a flower as eldest lady or auntie was a bit intolerable.
"My nickname is Xian Ji, and my nickname is Zhen Ru Hai."
"Let's talk about this later." Huaiyu looked at the victims who were queuing up to get porridge. Although it was just a porridge so thin that people could be seen, it was still life-saving for these hungry people.
He would rather stay with Fan Xuanfu for a while. Although he couldn't study how many ways to write Kun, it was good for the two of them to chat alone in the tent.
This time Chai Shao captured a large number of slaves. In total, there were seven to eight thousand Turkic prisoners in several battles. He originally captured many party members and Tuguhun slaves, but because they surrendered and sued for peace, Chai Shao finally released them all.
Huaiyu is a student of Taoism, but Buddhism and Taoism are intertwined, and he also knows some Buddhism. This is obviously the meaning of Buddhism. Dedicate one heart to fulfill all the dharma retributions in the world in the ten directions and transform into the three-kaya Buddha.
The last of all Bodhisattvas.
Names and nicknames are usually chosen by elders, while nicknames are mostly chosen by oneself.
The number that Fan Xuanfu took, which is as real as the sea, may represent her previous state of mind. Huaiyu said: "Let me give you a number, how about infinite life?"
Fan Xuanfu happily accepted, "Infinite Life, very good, I like it."
