Iron Dynasty

　　"His Royal Highness, this time Caomin brought a total of 3,000 slaves to His Highness, hehe."

　　 Before Xiao Ming went to Liang Dahai to ask if there were any new slaves in his hand, a few days after Niuli Dumper was built, he took the initiative to come to him.

　　 "Three thousand? How come there are so many this time?" Qin Le couldn't believe his ears.

"His Majesty, I would also like to thank the heavens for the gift. The heavy snow on the grassland caused the barbarians to freeze to death many cattle and sheep. Even if they do business with Dayu, the barbarians cannot raise many slaves. It is better to let them starve to death Sell ​​me for some food."

After a pause, Liang Dahai said, "I walked a few tribes on the grassland, and I had 3,000 slaves in my hand, but these barbarians were also very cunning. The prices of the slaves sold to me were very high, but I thought Your Highness is in desperate need of slaves, so I bought them."

　　 Xiao Ming nodded. This time, Liang Dahai did a good job. Now Xiao Ming doesn't care whether the barbarians are the feud of the Great Yu Kingdom, everything is the development of the fief first.

　　 In recent years, the barbarians often looted the border. I don’t know how many citizens of the country of Dayu were captured. Many people who were captured died on the way to the grassland.

　　The people who worked as slaves in the barbarian tribes also lived in a miserable life. Often, none of the people who were arrested existed. What's more, some barbarians would take pleasure in killing the people of Great Yu.

　　In his memory, he often heard that the barbarians would deliberately let the people of Dayu Country go, and then hunt them on horseback, and this was just a game when they were boring.

"You did a good job this time. The price is a little bit higher. They are all people of the country of Da Yu. They were captured by the barbarians. This is the shame of the country of Da Yu. No matter how you can get them back, it will be a thing after all. Good thing, let's talk about it, I want it for the total amount of money this time." Xiao Ming said.

　　 Liang Dahai had just returned from the barbarian grassland and had heard that Xiao Ming had made a lot of money in organizing the Chamber of Commerce, and a large number of foreign merchants in Qingzhou also confirmed this.

However, after learning about the Chamber of Commerce, Liang Dahai also had his own thoughts. He said: "Thanks to His Highness’s kindness, it is a great honor for the Caomin to go down to the palace. It’s just that the Caomin still has a merciless request. Will Caomin join His Royal Highness's Chamber of Commerce?"

　　 Xiao Ming smiled at the corner of his mouth, and now the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce has become a very magical organization through the mouths of many businessmen, just like the slogan of MLM, as long as you join the Chamber of Commerce, you will get rich.

He said: "I didn't have time to tell you about this because you went to the grassland. Since this king cooperates with you in the slave trade, you are naturally the king's person. It is natural to join the Chamber of Commerce, but there is another thing you may also I know, this king now has his own business. If you want, you can go to Li Kaiyuan, and he will include you in the business. From then on, you will be the king’s person. If you have enough credit in the future, this king can also give You are a full-time official."

　　 "His Royal Highness!" Liang Dahai trembled slightly with excitement. The words "one official and one half post" shocked him like Xianle.

　　Xiao Ming smiled and said: "You heard it right. In this king's fief, this king only recognizes merit and does not recognize any rich family."

　　Like any dynasty in ancient times, the Kingdom of Da Yu is also a dynasty with a solidified class, or because of the existence of a large family, this solidification is even more extreme.

　　 It is almost impossible for ordinary people to enter the aristocratic circle through their own efforts. Although Da Yu also has an imperial examination system, having fame does not mean that you can be an official.

　　Because there is a tragic interview after the written test. This link is called Kanhe in the country of Da Yu. The so-called Kanhe means that you need to be personally reviewed by the official appointed by the court after you get fame.

The content of this review is more, such as appearance, family background, filial piety, etc., and these content have become an excuse for the elimination of the review. At this time of the year, the review officials will become the core issue of the Minister of Korea, because who gets this The errand can justify collecting money from the scholars of merit, attack the children of the rival family, and take the opportunity to increase the number of officials.

　　Of course, not all scholars have to pass this pass, then you must be in the top three, then you will be eligible for the palace exam.

　　 So now I promise Liang Dahai will give him an official and a half job in the future. Liang Dahai will be so excited, because this is a real grass chicken who turned into a phoenix and promoted to an official as a humble merchant. This is also rare in history.

　　 "His Majesty, great kindness, Liang Dahai is unforgettable!" After the excitement, Liang Dahai knelt down with a "boom".

　　 Xiao Ming was a little helpless, because in his mind he couldn't regard being an official as something more important than fate, but it was possible in the country of Da Yu.

　　 He said: "Don't be too happy, the king can still take back the things that the king can give you. Everything depends on you."

　　 Liang Dahai clasped his fists and said, "The Caomin understands that if his Highness sends him in the future, Liang Dahai will go through the fire and water, and he will do it."

　　 "Well, this king will take your words and wait for you to prove it to this king. I won't mention it for the time being. The king's firm has just been established. It is just when there is a shortage of people, you go."

　　 Liang Dahai was still in his dream, he turned around to leave, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know how to find Li Kaiyuan~www.ltnovel.com~ so he said, "His Royal Highness, where is this Li Kaiyuan?"

　　 "There is a shop called Qingzhou Commercial Bank next to the Patent Department. Just go in. Ben Wang and Li Kaiyuan said about you, you only need to report your name." Xiao Ming said.

　　Liang Dahai nodded, turned around and was delighted, muttering in his mouth: "Father, mother, the old Liang family's tomb is smoking."

Summoned Liang Dahai, Xiao Ming went to the workshop base, and now the slaves are sent directly to that place. Because of the needs of the workshop area, Chen Wenlong established a private workshop in the workshop area, and all the people living in this private workshop are slaves. .

　　 Minfangfang is surrounded by a high wall around it, in order to prevent slaves from escaping and outsiders' prying eyes.

　　 In order to cultivate skilled workers, he urgently needs a group of young and active slaves.

　　He came to the workshop area and saw the slaves sent by Liang Dahai.

　　 The eyes of the slaves sent by Liang Dahai last time are different from the last time. There seems to be no hope in the eyes of this group of slaves. They have been tortured and humiliated in the grassland, leaving them like walking dead.

　　 Xiao Ming asked the guards to take the elderly and the young slaves down to arrange accommodation, leaving only the slaves aged 13 to 30.

　　 Unlike older slaves, young hearts are always restless, and the eyes of these people are shining with a different light, which is hope.

　　 Among the three thousand slaves, only three hundred strong slaves remain, the proportion is not high, because most of the young and strong slaves were killed by the barbarians.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked the guards to take these young and strong slaves out of the workshop area to the riverside of Xiaoqing~www.ltnovel.com~ Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
