Chapter 767
Silla maids and Kunlun slaves have gradually become popular in Chang'an in the past few years. Any wealthy family must be willing to spend a lot of silver to buy these two things for themselves.

This has also caused the prices of these people to skyrocket, and there have been merchant ships specializing in these things in recent years.

The so-called slave trade is roughly the same, but the methods used by these merchants in Datang are relatively peaceful. Most of these slaves are purchased from tribes, and because of the high price, it is impossible to allow them to die on the way.

Busy on the pier, piles of Kunlun slaves are being selected by big businessmen from Chang'an. They are most likely to be favored by these businessmen because they are strong and have good teeth.

When these people are brought to Chang'an, they don't have to worry about sales at all.

At home, it can be used as a tool for obscenity, and if you take it out, it is face. For those wealthy families in Chang'an, what is best, face.

I heard that His Majesty has several Silla maidservants, and the King of Silla specially sent them here. As for the Kunlun slaves, His Majesty has an army specially composed of Kunlun slaves, called the God Slaves Army.

The royal family loves it, and the folks love it even more. This may be the celebrity effect.

At this time, Chang'an was extremely prosperous, and it was very easy to see people from various places and races in the city.

Many of these people can speak Chinese fluently, if not for their strange appearance, they could almost be misunderstood as Han Chinese.However, they can be collectively referred to as Tang people at this time. After all, there are Tang troops stationed in their country at this time, and they need to pay enough tribute and taxes for the Tang Dynasty every year.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty ruled Qingming, and paid light taxes to these places. In fact, many places are still very grateful to the Tang Dynasty, especially the Europa region.The Europeans, who are frightened by the tyranny of the Turkic people, understand that as long as the Tang army is stationed, the Turkic people will never dare to mess around.

In fact, many things have become popular in Chang'an in the past few years. At the beginning, the long-legged white maidservants were especially popular. The longer the legs, the more popular they are, and they are often worth ten thousand gold.

It was only later that His Majesty banned private sales, and this trend stopped abruptly.

There is no way, both Chris and Yudina are very disgusted that their compatriots are being sold as goods.

Why Silla maidservants can get up? First of all, Silla has a very high self-government system. Silla girls are actually extremely keen to be trafficked to Chang'an. The other side is willing first, and His Majesty naturally does not object.

The same is generally true of Kunlun slaves. African tribal wars are frequent. In fact, most of these Kunlun slaves are prisoners of war. They stay in Africa to meet their fate. As a Kunlun slave, the master is also reluctant to abuse him.

In the Hongwen Museum of the Imperial Palace, Li Zhi walked through the corridor outside, listening to the sound of reading aloud inside.

Li Zhi looked through the window and saw a group of boys and girls inside, well dressed, reading with books.

Suddenly a girl saw her father outside the window and made a grimace.

"Taiping, what are you doing?"

"Ah, nothing, Taiping didn't do anything!"

Li Zhi felt helpless looking at his daughter, the little girl was very active since she was born, but Li Zhi felt very distressed.

Wu Meiniang also likes this little girl very much, she was sent to the Hongwen Museum when she was three years old, and she has been in the library for two years by now.

"If you don't study hard, your mother and concubine will come to Hongwen Hall to pick you up."

All the princesses and princes below were afraid to speak, only the voice of Shangguanyi lecturing could be heard among them.

After class was over, the little girl and a few sisters ran out. Li Zhi only heard the voice of his father, and the princesses all ran over. Drool all over.

But Li Zhi likes it, which of these daughters is not a sweetheart.

"Father, will you have dinner with us today?"

Several princesses pulled Li Zhi, as a father, his daughter wanted to eat together, so there was no reason why he would not allow it.

"Okay, I'll have dinner with you today too."

In the imperial palace, there is a special place for eating at this time. Originally, each palace had meals in each palace, but now it is more concentrated.

Li Zhi didn't restrict everyone to come here to eat, but basically everyone who could come here came.Why, the imperial snacks in this meal hall are very delicious, and there are so many people coming here.

When Li Zhi went, there were already quite a lot of people. When they saw Li Zhi, they all stood up to greet Li Zhi. And the princess can come too.

"Queen, today came earlier than me."

"Grandma Huang, Grandma Huang!"

The little girls greeted them obediently, and the Empress Dowager Changsun hurriedly asked them to sit down.

"Your Majesty, there are new dishes today. I heard that they are sold very well in Xiaozhulou."

"Oh, no wonder everyone came so early today."

For a while, Shangshi Dingyu had come in from outside, the first new product was naturally sent to His Majesty, and only this table needed Shangshi Dingyu to deliver it in person.

Putting down the dish, Ding Yu slowly opened it, and inside was a dish in the style of a soup pot. Li Zhi opened his mouth slightly when he saw it. It was not the dish that attracted Li Zhi, but the raw materials. Li Zhi saw potatoes and corn.

"Hey, this is the first time I've seen these ingredients."

Li Zhi knew it naturally, but after coming to Datang, this was indeed the first time he saw it, and he knew that only America had this thing at this time.

In the past few years, Datang's merchant ships have been working hard to find new shipping routes. Could it be that they have already started doing business with Native Americans?

"Your Majesty, I heard from the people in Xiaozhulou that these ingredients are all from the New World, and they are expensive. Some areas along the coast have already begun to grow them."

"Haha, the merchants have made great contributions this time."

Li Zhi smiled, picked up a piece of potato, and took a small bite at this time, the taste was indeed right.

With potatoes and corn, Datang has been widely planted in the past few years, and the population has skyrocketed again, because these are high-yield crops. Under the premise that agricultural technology has not achieved a substantial leap forward, high-yield crops are the fundamental prerequisite for population growth. .

Of course, the most important thing is that the merchants have already explored the edge of the New World. In a few years, the New World will be marked on the sea chart, and then the route will be developed, and the American Cup will be included in the Datang territory.

If His Majesty eats a meal happily, the rest of the people at the table are naturally happy.

Lin Wanyue ate a few more corns and was full of praise for Li Zhi.

The two looked at each other and began to communicate with eyes that they only understood.

"Dingyu, ask someone to go to the Bamboo Garden to see if they can get the potato and corn seeds from the small bamboo building. We will vigorously promote them this year in the temple fields of the Da Ci'en Temple and the greenhouses in the palace."

"Dingyu will ask today."

"Well, I am most at ease when Dingyu is doing things."

Shangshi Dingyu gave Li Zhi a warm smile, surrounded by daughters, it was not easy for Li Zhi to perform a scene of slapping a woman's butt in front of them.
