Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 930 Spice Bay

Baoqin nodded again and again:

"Yes, yes. Move. Spice Island is about [-] miles westward. The weather, temperature, and scenery there are very good. The expedition team is still going deep. It is ten times, a hundred times more beautiful than here."

Willow understood.

Although Mogadishu is rich in frankincense and myrrh, and there are enough bison, it has a savannah climate and a tropical desert climate to the north.

The place Baoqin said is known as the most suitable place for human habitation in Africa. The East African plateau is also called the lake plateau. There are too many freshwater lakes and rich water resources. The number of wild animals is [-] around Mogadishu. Hundreds of times as many miles, and the Spice Island is the coast of East Africa.

Liu Mu said: "Then the question is, are we here to find the treasure, or to enjoy it?"

"Enjoy." Dugu Lanruo and Baoqin said in unison.

"Okay, just move when you move."

Willow's moving will not affect the normal operation of Mogadishu at all.Bring your own guards and attendants, wait for Xiao Ling'er and Xie Xing'er to lead people to finish the warehouse list and seal up the good things, then take the boat to the south.

Not far, that is, about [-] miles by sea.

A large number of slaves were transported to Spice Bay, and Wood Wally also came. He asked to lead troops to clear away the beasts that were easy to attack people for a hundred miles around the port.

In just one month, Woodworthy's whole body has changed, and he is in high spirits.

The old subordinates around him are also wearing beautiful light leather armor. Everyone is not afraid of the heat, and they also have silk cloaks and silk scarves.

You must know that in this place, Liumu usually wears fine linen.

In Africa, fine linen is much more comfortable than silk and pure cotton.At least it won't stick to the body after sweating.

Liu Mu specially hosted a banquet for Wood and several important generals around him.

Before serving the food, Willow asked, "Is the war over?"

Wood shook his head: "Not yet, I was ordered to pick the spoils before I came. Based on the information I got from the slaves of the spoils, it is clear that the Sarasan Kingdom's attack in the past month has changed from strong to weak. The Romans and Persians seem to be Ready to launch an attack, I heard from a Roman general who received armaments that they wanted to take back the provinces and kingdoms they had lost."

After talking about the information, Wood added another sentence: "What does it have to do with us if they beat people to death?"

After our words came out, the subordinates around Wood were all nervous.

Because their identities are still slaves, although some generals are richer than ordinary Roman nobles, and as slaves, they also have several slaves working for them.

So the word we is not worthy to be uttered by a slave.

Liu Mu heard it, but Liu Mu didn't mind, and just said: "I heard that you did a great job in Djibouti. In a month, you and your subordinates killed more than 40 jackals and spotted hyenas, and captured more than a dozen alive. Lions, more than [-] leopards. The most important thing is that no one was seriously injured, no one was maimed, and no one died."

"It is my task to protect the port of Djibouti from wild animals. I heard a general tell me that if more meat-eating beasts are killed, more wild cattle, wild donkeys, and wild sheep will survive, and the population will be stronger. Large, it will increase the income of meat and leather. And it will give us many rewards."

There wasn't much pride in Wood's tone.

He took 5000 men to clear up too many beasts in a legion, and if there were casualties, it represented his incompetence.

Often more than a dozen people use long and short weapons, coupled with bows, crossbows, shields, etc., to deal with a wild dog. Sometimes the wild dogs beaten are not enough for the army to eat.

So casualties are not allowed.

Liu Mu pointed around: "Wood, have you seen the map of this area?"

"Seen."

"This place is very rich. A few small ships from the Saracen Kingdom have already visited these places. This is our territory. The more successful the Romans and Persians are on the battlefield, the less likely the Saracen Kingdom will come here. Maybe you I don’t understand yet, but as a senior commander you must understand that war is just an extension of politics.”

Wood didn't quite understand that his life was a life of struggle, constantly fighting the Romans, the nobles from the top of Britain, and the Vikings from the northern sea.

Liu Mu said again: "Well, to put it another way, you have been fighting continuously since the first time you picked up a knife. What is the meaning of your fighting? Isn't it to make people in your hometown live peacefully and richly? To put it simply One point, let your women have enough food, beautiful clothes and smiles every day, and let your children have candy."

"Understood, the purpose of war is to live better, eat better, and wear better clothes. I will fight whoever destroys my vegetable garden. I will also fight in order to grab the largest vegetable garden. But I will definitely not fight. Good fight."

"Very good, that's the theory. Although it's not enough, it's enough to understand this level. Let me talk about the first battle you fought. The purpose was very simple. Those ordnance were exchanged for countless gold, which can be exchanged for linen , silk, spices, pearls, etc., isn’t it for a better life.”

Although Wood still doesn't fully understand what politics is and what war is.

But as an elite indigo warrior, and a literate indigo warrior, he understood what Liu Mu meant.That is the war of the Tang Empire. Every war is for the better life of the people of the empire. Fight whoever affects the life of the people of the empire. If you find a good place to occupy, go to fight.The rest of the fight is pointless.

Wood was still a slave.

Wood found that slaves in the Tang Empire lived better than commoners in Rome.

There was a strict rule in the laws of the Tang Empire that slaves who did not make mistakes should not be beaten at will. In the words of the Tang people, this right and wrong means that the family has family rules, and the state has state laws.

The slaves of the Tang Empire had property rights and the right to life.But there is also no freedom. They belong to a certain family, but not to a certain person.

There is another article in the laws of the Tang Empire. After any slave has served in a certain family for 20 years, it is forbidden to buy or sell. After the slave is old, he can enjoy the slave pension right, and the family as the master must guarantee the minimum living needs.

In addition to the laws of the Tang Empire, Wood also heard an unwritten folk rule.

Many nobles of the Tang Dynasty would release their loyal slaves as freemen, and this freeman could also join their family and become a member of the peripheral family.If people from other families bully these peripheral members, the elders of the family will stand up for even the peripheral members of the family who were slaves.

However, Wood almost forgot at this time that he was still a slave.
