Chapter 123 The Indigenous People of the Tang Dynasty Are Very Dark

Lin Wanwan put away the so-called "Senior Brother" letter, looked at Sun Heyao who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "Get up, don't kneel down. Tell me, is the journey going smoothly?"

Sun Huiyao got up and replied: "With the blessing of the master, the journey was safe and sound. Although there was a storm, we didn't lose anything on board."

Lin Wanwan nodded, and asked again: "Have you encountered any water bandits?"

Sun Huiyao shook his head: "Huizhou merchants have a huge fleet, and ordinary water bandits would not dare to provoke them."

Lin Wanwan thought that she was lucky. There were so many valuable things on board, and there was no force on board. There was only a sun hoe and twenty fishing guns and crossbows. She was also worried that Huizhou merchants would be blackmailed, but it turned out that there was no .

It seems that the names of the Xiao family and Xiao Chong, the county magistrates of Huan County, are still somewhat useful.After all, the maritime trade of Huizhou merchants still depends on the port of Huan County, and the county magistrate is now in charge.

In the early Tang Dynasty and the previous dynasties, the management of maritime trade has always belonged to the local governor.The central court does not covet the rest of the profits from maritime trade, except for some routine offerings.

Even though the central government of the Tang Dynasty began to set up Shibo envoys (generally held by eunuchs) to intervene in Shibo affairs and manage the foreign ships, until the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the local governors were still the ones who held the main power in Shibo management.

Knowing that there was no military disaster along the way, Lin Wanwan continued to ask: "The Xiao Ming House has already interrogated you? How did you answer?"

Sun Hueyao recounted the conversation between Xiao Chong and him three days ago, word for word.

After thinking for a while, Lin Wanwan got up and said, "Okay, then you can follow me from now on."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lin Wanwan asked again: "Is it okay for those children to come all the way?"

Sun Huiyao replied: "Some of them got seasick at first and vomited badly. After more than ten days, they got used to it. I asked them to wait in the back cabin. Does the master want to see them?"

Lin Wanwan said: "Well, call them all here."

Sun Hueyao responded, and Lin Wanwan thought that in order to legalize these little beggars from their status as vagrants, she was blackmailed by Xiao Chong for a large sum of money.

Fortunately, she used pepper for all of them, so she didn't feel distressed.

It's just that Lin Wanwan has a new understanding of Xiao Chong's black heart and Tang Law's regulations.

This Xiao Chong, with a flawless little boyish face, is so dark that she is always called cousin and cousin in vain.

It's just a few children, it's all right to turn a blind eye and close one eye, and insist on extorting so much money from her.She didn't believe that Xiao Chong could really enforce the law so impartially, probably because the county government was short of money to build the weir!

She had heard that all the squires in Hu County had been blackmailed by him for some reason, and this time it was finally her turn.

Don't think about it too much, the more you think about it, the more itchy your teeth will be!

Lin Wanwan took a few deep breaths, and waved Xiao Chong's handsome face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling out of her mind.After a while, the ten little beggars who had become her servants were brought in front of her by Sun Heyao.

A month later, Lin Wanwan's attire has changed a lot, and when she first saw these little beggars, she was wearing a hat and a veil.At this moment, none of the little beggars could recognize her.

Lin Wanwan calmed down and said calmly, "Do you have a name? Report it all."

The ten little beggars, who had been washed clean and put on new cold clothes, looked at each other and replied in one voice, "My name is donkey egg."

"My name is Ergou."

"I'm Ah Huang."

"That's enough, that's enough." Lin Wanwan called to stop their answers, "It's not even a surname. You're arranged in line by age, but do you all know your own age?"

Among the ten children, only one nodded, and the remaining nine shook their heads in unison.

They are all orphans who lost their parents when they were very young. They followed the big beggars at the pier and begged to survive.
Lin Wanwan sighed: "Then rank them according to their height. You are considered to be servants of my Lin family now. If you are obedient in the future, you will have a meal."

After admonishing the children casually, Lin Wanwan waved them away.

Most of these beggars, who are only five or six, seven or eight years old, are still ignorant.

Due to the strict boundaries between the good and the low in the Tang Dynasty, the descendants of the untouchables will always be untouchables. If they want to be good, it is useless for the master to sell their lives, and they have to meet the court's amnesty (rarely).Moreover, slaves and sluts are more legal than livestock, and their legal status is extremely low.

So originally, Lin Wanwan just wanted to raise them until they grew up. If they wanted to stay in the Lin family, they would keep them. If they wanted to leave, they would leave. When they were 16 years old, they would be given a chance to choose freely.

Of course, Lin Wanwan is [-]% sure that this group of people will stay, and they were originally trained to help.Children, she still doesn't believe that she can't teach well.

But I didn't expect Xiao Chong to make them all slaves now, so Lin Wanwan could only accept it.

Hey, with the pressure of the mountain of prostitution, the possibility of raising a white-eyed wolf will never happen, but it is really a sin to take such a group of children as slaves.

That's it, let's start brainwashing education.

After completing the handover procedures, the fishermen of Linjiazhuang left the South Wharf with their new boats, braved the wind and waves, and went to the small wharf of their own family.

Lin Wanwan wandered around on the boat and came to Guan Xiaoxiang's cabin. As soon as she opened the door, the little elephant rushed towards her excitedly like a child alone seeing her mother.

Lin Wanwan didn't expect that after a month, the elephant would still remember herself, and she couldn't help feeling relieved, so she took out a radish from the bag and fed it.

The little elephant rolled up the radish with its long trunk and started eating it.Lin Wanwan was quite surprised that the life in the cabin for nearly a month did not make it sluggish.

After it finished eating, Lin Wanwan took Kunlun and Xiao Xiang to check her cargo under the oilcloth on the ship, and sure enough there was nothing missing.

Lin Wanwan came to the place where she hid her life jacket and spear gun, and mysteriously called Lin Mengbo to show him.

"Cousin, these are all imported products. These clothes are called life jackets. They can be lifted up in the water, and their buoyancy is stronger than wood. When you go out to sea and encounter heavy rain, wear life jackets for self-defense. If you accidentally fall into the sea, you are not afraid of sinking. "

Lin Mengbo picked up a simple life jacket and looked at it, and quickly figured out how to wear it, and said with a smile, "This is a good thing."

Lin Wanwan picked up a spear gun crossbow and the matching steel balls, fish darts and high-powered wires, put them in Lin Mengbo's hands and said, "This is for shooting fish, try it."

Originally, this set of fishing guns and crossbows actually had a matching laser sight, but Lin Wanwan dismantled them, so don't take anything that is too advanced.The material of the spear and crossbow itself is already beyond the reach of Datang's industrial level.
