Li Tai's strategy was successful. To be precise, it would be impossible to fail such a strategy, especially when Li Tai had 10,000 soldiers around him who were maintaining his authority, which was easier.

When buying a horse bone with a wealthy fortune is to build credibility. When the credibility is successfully established, the rest should not be too simple.

It is the same for the people, especially the Japanese people. They were all slaves before! What is the concept of slaves? The work they do is done for their masters, and the things they grow are also for their masters. Their survival depends on how much their masters reward them.

They do more than cattle and sheep, but they eat worse than cattle and sheep, and their lives are all in the hands of their masters. If the master is in a bad mood and kills them casually, there is nothing to do.

If their wives and daughters are taken aback by their master and played with them casually, they will not dare to say nonsense. This is their original life.

But after Li Tai arrived, all this changed. They knew about the construction sites outside the city and the camps for soldiers. They had done similar work before, but they never thought that although those soldiers who treated them were rude, they would not beat and scold them casually.

The work they do will give them a full meal and eat very well. Not only that, they will also wear clothes and give them food! One person can get two kilograms of food by working one day. In the past, the food was the food for their family for several days, and the food was not so good!

Even if they were accidentally injured while working, His Highness Li Tai asked them to bandage them, treat them, and ask them to go back and rest, and also gave them food, without beating them!

When such a thing happens, you can imagine how much touched these people are! Because they can feel that His Highness Li Tai, these soldiers, treat them as human beings from the bottom of their hearts, not as beasts!

A master like this, builds a barracks for him. After building a barracks, his soldiers will be stationed here and then ensure the operation of the entire city. Do you want to build them well? Of course, you have to! Not only do you have to build well! But you have to build well at the fastest speed!

In this way, they can live here as fast as possible, and their days will continue!

People are greedy. With good days, no one thinks about the days they used to be.

In the past, these slaves were numb to work, but this time they took the initiative to exert their subjective initiative in their work for Li Tai. The construction site outside the city can be said to be in full swing! I don’t know how many times the construction progress has accelerated!

Nagawa Hata was standing behind Li Tai at this moment. He saw the scene in front of him. If it were the past, this little person would have been doing these jobs for less than five days now, and he would probably not have even made half of the progress. The hot atmosphere, and the admiration and respectful eyes of ordinary people when they saw Li Tai.

It made Hakata Narakawa feel a little numb. He seemed to understand something, but he didn't understand anything, but he knew... the sky in Hakata Castle has changed!

"I'll give you a task." Li Tai asked calmly as he looked at the situation below.

"Please say this, Your Highness."

"Follow these nobles left in the city, find a damn family." Li Tai said calmly.

Nagawa Hakata's body couldn't help but tremble. Of course, he knew what Li Tai meant to find a damn family.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" But he couldn't help but ask directly, for fear that he would mess it up.

"I know that if I find a family, bullying or abused the subjects in my family for a long time, I know that although I have removed these people from their subjects and all the servants and other subjects in the noble family have also gone to Dali Temple to file a record, the servants in their family have not left or changed, and there are always some people who are used to treating these servants as beasts, not humans."

"I need such a noble family, or is it?" Li Tai's tone was very calm, but Hakata Nagawa's body shook slightly. He knew what Li Tai was going to do, but he still said with a trembling voice: "Yes...yes."

To be precise... almost every family is, and all the nobles are used to not treating these slaves as humans. Of course, there are not none of the smart nobles. They also know that they need the service of these people, so some of the servants in their various mansions are trusted by them, or that these people are the dogs they raise.

But there is always a part of it for them to vent and vent their anger.

"Very good, I said, I'll give you a task. I don't care whose family is, but if there are similar behaviors such as the abuse of these slaves and committing serious violations of the Tang Dynasty's laws, I hope you can make people encourage these slaves to report the case from Dali Temple. Can you do it?" Li Tai didn't even look back and asked in the distance.

"Yes." Nagano Hakata took a deep breath and nodded directly to agree. He didn't know if he could do it, but he had to do it even if he couldn't.

"Well, very good, I can give you time, but I believe this will happen, but I hope it will happen, not artificially, do you understand?"

"Yes!" Nagawa Hakata agreed.

Li Tai nodded with satisfaction. He was not limited to ordinary beatings and scolding. He knew that it was normal for ordinary beating and scolding servants, and there were all in the Tang Dynasty.

But beating and scolding and abuse are two different things. What he wants is the one behind. As for why he wants to find a typical example, the reason is very simple. Killing a chicken to warn the monkey is just one of the first things. Secondly, he wants to teach all the nobles who stayed and all the people.

One method mentioned by the teacher seems to be very suitable for the public trial meeting?

"Well, you have done a good job this time. Since our Donglin Island has become my concession, I really need manpower here, and I am not an inhumane person. Do you think if I give you a large amount of goods from the Tang Dynasty, can you do business with people in other regions? Can you make money?" Li Tai said with a smile.

Hearing this, Hakata Narakawa's eyes lit up instantly, but he suppressed his excitement and asked, "Your Highness, what goods do you have?"

"There are all kinds of goods, and you can have whatever you want. As long as it is available in the Tang Dynasty, it's fine." Li Tai said lightly, "By the way, I only want gold."

"If so, you will definitely make money! Your Highness is relieved that other countries have a lot of gold. If we have enough goods, I will definitely make a mountain of gold for Your Highness." Nagano Hirota said excitedly.

"Well, don't worry, you can do whatever you want. Now tell me what kind of goods are there in Japan?" Li Tai asked with a smile.

"If these subjects of Japan are included, what is definitely missing is food. The food in Japan is very expensive. Of course, if Your Highness has cheap food, the food can also make a lot of profits. In addition, silk, silk, linen, and wool cloth have huge profits."

"In addition, if there is the fine salt of the Tang Dynasty, it can also be exchanged for huge profits, and there is also porcelain." Nagawa Hakata immediately listed many products.

"Well, it's true. All the businesses you mentioned can be done. Please give me an example. In addition, give me a rough data to me for my knowledge of the sericulture industry in Japan." Li Tai said lightly.

"Yes." Nagawa Hata was a little happy. As for the fear just now, it was no longer because as long as Li Tai used him, it proved that he was useful. If he didn't use him, it would be terrible.

Li Tai waved his hand and signaled that he could leave. The reason why he asked about these was naturally because he had a reason to ask about them.

Because Li Tai also wanted to make money in the same way as his master. Although the Tang Dynasty is rich now, Li Tai is also very clear, or Li Shimin and others are very clear that although the Tang Dynasty is rich, the Han Dynasty is even richer, because a lot of the wealth of the Tang Dynasty has been earned by the Han Dynasty.

Although those wealth is worthy of the great man, they have also understood some of the great man's strategies.

Never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Although they do not have systematic so-called finance and have no concepts such as trade surplus and trade deficit, the ancients will still study these studies based on phenomena.

The trade between the Han and the Tang Dynasty itself cannot be concealed. As long as you count such a trading method, you will know how large the annual trade volume is. After sorting out these things, they will probably understand some of the methods of the Han Dynasty.

But Li Shimin, they were not angry. The country and the country were of interest, and they all knew very well. What's more, Huo Gang did not criticize them at all. Many things were given very high treatment. This is already valuable. Could it be that you still let others work for you in vain?

But they have seen some strategies of the Han Dynasty, for example... The Han Dynasty exported a large amount of grain to the Tang Dynasty every year, causing the scale of local grain planting in the Tang Dynasty to shrink. If the long term continues, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably rely on the Han Dynasty's grain imports.

With Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Xiao Yu and other bigwigs, can they not see such danger?

It can be seen, but there is no way. This is a naked plot because they have no way to refuse. Because the food of the Tang Dynasty itself is not enough to meet the daily consumption of the people of the Tang Dynasty. If they do not import the food of the Han Dynasty, the price of grain in the Tang Dynasty will soar and the order of the entire Tang Dynasty will collapse instantly.

Now that they have formed a dependence, they can certainly force the people to plant food, but there is a prerequisite, that is, the court provides sufficient subsidies. The problem is that if the subsidies are given, the court will have to spend huge amounts of funds every year, and the food grown by the people will be barely enough for the Tang Dynasty to use 70%, and the remaining 30% will still be imported.
