Chapter 598 The value of craftsmen
The elders, escorts and others who were working in the hotel began to laugh so hard that they were slacking off. Later, they were also surprised to be so calm that Zuo Shaoyang was so determined.
The ten singers were so tired that they were panting, but they could not make Zuo Shaoyang's body react at all, and they looked at the chief helplessly.
The chief smiled awkwardly and waved his hand: "Okay, you go back. The Dharma King's magic power is extremely profound, not an ordinary man." You have no choice."
The ten singers retreated and each lowered their heads in shame.
Zuo Shaoyang sat down with a smile. The chief said embarrassedly: "They are not powerful, they are all bragging. Don't joke with the Dharma King."
Zuo Shaoyang said: "To be honest, their sex skills are already quite powerful. I met me today. If it were another man, he would have lost his armor and lost his armor and was defeated. Hehehe."
This sentence immediately made the chief happy again: "Haha, I have not spent so much money, hahaha, then the Dharma King will keep them?"
Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself that these ten singers have been trained in brothels since childhood, and the art of room was indeed very good, so he kept it for the future, so he bowed and said, "Thank you so much!"
"That's great!" the chief said happily and said to the ten women in Tibetan: "Listen to you, your master will be the first Dharma King of Xiangxiong, Master Zuo Shaoyang. You must serve the Dharma King well and obey the Dharma King's instructions."
Ten women were busy bowing for blessings and agreed in a delicate voice, all of whom were happy, because in their eyes, the supreme honorable Dharma King was a kind of supreme glory.
The chief said to Mei Duo in Tibetan again: "Master Mei Duo, you can now help your Dharma King select the remaining twenty female slaves."
Mei Duo stood up and bowed, walked over with a smile, and quickly picked twenty of them out. They were all relatively strong, and none of the Han women chose. Maybe they felt that they were not suitable for survival wherever they were, and they were of no use.
Taking advantage of this skill, Zuo Shaoyang asked Da Longxin in a low voice: "How many people are we Gangren Buche?"
"Gangrenbuche is a mandala." There are only less than a thousand households inside and outside the country, and there are about five people."
"How many men and women each account for?"
"I haven't counted this, but there are more men and fewer women."
"Why?"
"We are very beautiful women in Gangrenbuche. The rich families in Xiangxiong Qionglong Yincheng come to us to marry women. Ours is too poor, and many women have married."
"I understand, do we have an army?"
"This..., Xiangxiong has no special army. When encountering war, men who can walk must go to battle."
"Is this the whole name all the soldiers?" Zuo Shaoyang thought to himself that the entire Gangren Buche's population was only 5,000, and he really had to work hard to develop the population. Well, at this point, an idea came to his head. The emperor had many daughters. According to historical records, Song Weizong had 65 children, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang had 59, and Emperor Kangxi had 55. Why could the emperor have so many children? It's very simple. There are many emperor women, three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, and three thousand beauties. One woman would be extremely awesome. So "buying more women is the best shortcut to quickly increase the population. Of course, we must avoid getting married in close relatives. At the same time, it is not a problem to have one of our modern medical saints.
Therefore, buy more female slaves to go back and strengthen the population of Gangrenbuche. However, with more people, more consumption, and the economy must be developed at the same time. Gangrenbuche is a pure pastoral area, and cattle, sheep and horses are the key. Buy more of these things and bring them back. Sooner or later, Tubo will attack Xiangxiong and destroy it with its own sect, so it must use Xiangxiong as a barrier to become stronger first.
Zuo Shaoyang was thinking about it and asked the chief: "How many female slaves and craftsmen are there in the chief? I want to buy them together."
The chief was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and called the housekeeper over, asked a few words in a low voice, and said, "At present, there are more than 500 female slaves under my command and 200 craftsmen. Most of these craftsmen were bought from the Tang Dynasty. Several elders still had some in their hands. Does the Dharma King want to bring more women back to have children?"
How to quickly increase the population is the first question every monarch must think about, so the chief immediately guessed Zuo Shaoyang's plan.
Zuo Shaoyang nodded a little embarrassedly: "Yes, if the chief has extra female slaves and craftsmen in his hands, I want to buy them with the chief, - of course, according to the market price."
When it comes to buying population, Zuo Shaoyang felt very awkward, but this was the case in ancient times. There were population markets, officials and slaves, and population trading was also free. The source of slaves was mainly prisoners during the war, and they were usually mainly those who were poor and sold as slaves or were convicted of officials. However, "illegal means of trafficking of people was absolutely forbidden by all dynasties and severe punishments were required.
The chief laughed and said, "Haha, the Dharma King has agreed to discuss the alliance with King Duomi for Xiao Wang. If this can be done, I will not buy it with the Dharma King. I will give you another 200 female slaves and 100 craftsmen! How about it?" Zuo Shaoyang smiled bitterly, thinking that he was not familiar with King Duomi, so what to use to convince others to form an alliance with you? Everyone is also afraid of Ye Fan, for fear that the formation of vipers will arouse Ye Fan's vigilance, and using this as an excuse to send troops to conquer. This matter is no more than curing diseases or finding water sources.
However, Tubo is eyeing him, and Duomi must have felt that "Su Bi has been annexed by Tubo, Duomi should feel that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Even the weak and strong are the only choice for weak countries and tribes to face strong enemies. Therefore, as long as you know the benefits and disadvantages, there is still hope to convince King Duomi to join forces with Misang.
If Duomi and Misang are persuaded to alliance, the strong enemies facing Tubo will be stronger and will take longer to conquer. In this way, both the target of Xiong or his own Gangrenbuche Mandala will be beneficial. As the Dharma King, Zuo Shaoyang must first consider how to make his territory Gangrenbuche Mandala safe. Therefore, he decided to try his best to accomplish this.
However, before this, we must negotiate the conditions so that we will not be able to get rid of our mouths.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "What if I want to buy it, I have money. I will try my best to do the chief's affairs. If I can do it, I will just be rewarded as mentioned earlier."
The chief already knew Zuo Shaoyang's intention, so he wanted to use this as a weight to ask Zuo Shaoyang to do his best to help him. He shook his head and said, "The female slaves here are all very good. I chose them. They are strong and have good children. The craftsmen are almost all you Han people, they have good skills and all kinds of craftsmen. I can't bear to leave them. If the Dharma King can help me form an alliance with Duomian and give them to the Dharma King as a gift, then you can buy them. I can't bear to sell them. I really!"
Zuo Shaoyang was helpless and sighed. Anyway, he had to pass through many countries along the way, so he could buy it along the way. However, the more he went in, the harder it was to find these craftsmen. The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty were the most advanced in the world at that time. Tubo had always coveted the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty. Princess Wencheng married Songtsen Ganbu, and brought many craftsmen, which played a very critical role in the development of Tubo. Therefore, craftsmen are a very important factor in the economic development. Try to collect books near the lobby.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "If I can do the chief, I will not want the female slave. I will replace them all with craftsmen, okay?"
For the chief, "female slaves are more attractive. These female slaves were carefully bought by him. Most of them were virgins. They were really reluctant to give them to Zuo Shaoyang, but the craftsmen were different because they were confused and were next to the Tang Dynasty. If they were no longer able to buy them at the slave market in the Tang Dynasty. So Zuo Shaoyang's suggestion was exactly what he wanted. He slapped the back of the chair and said, "Okay! One word is determined! One change to three. If the Dharma King accomplishes this, the Dharma King will be my brother. I will give my concubine to the Dharma King..."
"I said that a gentleman does not take away the beauty of others."
"Okay, I'll give twenty girls to make up for the Dharma King, and then give all the craftsmen among the Misang slaves to the Dharma King!"
The housekeeper whispered, "Master, our craftsmen are not enough."
"Uh?" The chief reminded the housekeeper, and remembered that there were less than 300 craftsmen slaves in Misang, of which 200 were in his own hands, and nearly 100 were in the hands of the elders. If the Dharma King only had craftsmen, "one female slave changed to three craftsmen, then there would be 600, which was far more than the number of slave craftsmen in Misang.
The chief smiled awkwardly. Zuo Shaoyang had already calculated this account in his heart and said with a smile: "I guess there are not many craftsmen in the chief. According to the chief's original idea, there are only two hundred female slaves and one hundred craftsmen. In addition, the 100 craftsmen I already have now, our Gangren Buche is enough."
The chief smiled apologetically: "That's all, we have not many slaves from the craftsman in Misang. However, there should be two hundred and twenty female slaves, because the Dharma King doesn't want my concubine, and we will compensate twenty more. These twenty of them are compensated for the Dharma King. The Dharma King cannot transfer them to the warriors of your tribe!"
Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, stay by my side to take care of me, I'm afraid I'll empty my body!"
"Hahaha" the chief laughed to the sky.
At this time, "the housekeeper brought all the craftsmen. Although the subsequent tasks were completed, they could take away two hundred craftsmen, which was the vast majority of the craftsmen among the Misang slaves. But Zuo Shaoyang was still worried that the task would not be completed, and the craftsmen could not take so many, so he carefully selected them and selected all kinds of craftsmen with good skills, and handed them over to Dalongxin to lead them. The thirty female slaves were led by Mei Duo.
Unexpectedly, when Misang was helping to comb the fountain, he actually exchanged so many urgently needed craftsmen and female slaves. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy and raised his glass and said, "Let's have a good drink tonight and set off for Duomia tomorrow morning."
"Okay! Come on, don't go back if you're drunk tonight!"
The chief really did what he said. This meal made Zuo Shaoyang drunk again. Of course, he was so drunk that he didn't know what happened.
Chapter completed!
