Penglai Island

Penglai City

Thousands of Danhan slaves worked under the supervision of the servants of the royal family, constantly moving bricks, stones, wood, etc.

Some tenant farmers who have finished their farm work also enter the factory to carry them, so they can also earn some money.

Although they are both working, there is still a big difference.

The slaves in Danhan worked without wages, that is, they worked until they died, while the tenant farmers were paid for their work, although the wages were very small.

After five years, the inner city of Penglai for the royal family and private soldiers has been built, and now the outer city for the tenant farmers is being built.

In the past five years, due to the invention of the coupling plow, the efficiency of plowing has been greatly improved.

In the past, an average tenant farmer could only cultivate [-] mu, but now a tenant farmer can cultivate [-] mu.

The Wang family originally had 60 mu of fertile land, plus the newly reclaimed 65 mu of fertile land on Penglai Island, and currently has a total of [-] mu of fertile land.

The increase in production efficiency forced the Wang family to reorganize the tenant farmers, and also caused some tenant farmers who had land to lose their land again, and they became slaves again.

These tenant farmers who had no land again were also transported to Penglai Island along with other slaves.

In five years, the Wang family transported [-] slaves from Luoyueyuan to Penglai Island, but only [-] survived.

The entire Penglai Island has a large area, [-] mu is only temporary, and the Wang family will continue to reclaim more fields.

In Luoyueyuan, there are still nearly [-] Han Chinese slaves waiting to be transported.

The number of Danhans on Penglai Island has also dropped from more than 3000 six years ago to more than 8000 now.

For the first time, the number of Koreans on Penglai Island equaled the number of Han Chinese.

The more than 8000 Danhan people are divided into five tribes, namely:

[Hulan Department: 4000 people
Sami Department: 2000 people

Qiluo Department: 500 people
Sansa Department: 500 people

Lomi Department: 500 people]

The weaker Sami tribe, Qiluo tribe, Sansa tribe, and Romi tribe are all allies of the Wang family, and the Wang family also formed the "Anti-Hulan Mutual Defense Alliance" with them.

The most powerful Hulan tribe is the enemy of the Wang family, but the Hulan tribe actually wanted to join the "Anti-Hulan Mutual Defense Alliance", but they were ruthlessly rejected by the Wang family.

United the weak tribes and attack the strong tribes, this is the consistent method of the royal family to conquer the indigenous peoples.

After the most powerful Hulan tribe was destroyed, the Wang family continued to support the remnants of the Hulan tribe and let the remaining forces of the Hulan tribe attack the Sami tribe.

The next script, the Wang family has already arranged it.

After the Sami Department is also finished, continue to support the remaining forces of the Sami Department to attack the Qiluo Department.

wait until... let...

Under such endless mutual attacks, it is only a matter of time before the Danhan people on the entire island are completely wiped out.

The Wang family designed an exchange market in Penglai City. All Danhan people from the Sami, Qiluo, Sansa, and Romi tribes can come to do business, and it is fair and just.

If any Danhan people from the Hulan tribe dared to come to do business, the private soldiers of the Wang family would go up and kill them directly.

"The market is open!"

clang--

With the shout of the Penglai Order and the beating of the gong, the gate of the Penglai Exchange was opened, and some Han women and children from Penglai City flocked in.

They are all wives and sons of tenant farmers, and their husbands are reclaiming wasteland, and they come to the mutual market to do a little business.

Later, a group of Danhan people who joined the "Anti-Hulan Mutual Defense Alliance" also brought their local products to the mutual market for trade.

The Penglai Ling was actually a servant of the Wang family. The Wang family imitated the official position in the Central Plains and established the Penglai Ling on Penglai Island, which is equivalent to the county magistrate of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains.

In addition to the Penglai Order, there are Penglai Cheng, Penglai Wei, Penglai Master Book and so on.

"Sell straw sandals, sell straw sandals."

This person is the grandson of Cao Xie Liu. He inherited his grandfather's business and came to Penglai Island to continue selling straw sandals.

Everyone calls him Cao Xie Liu San, which means he is the third generation descendant of Cao Xie Liu.

"Pull the car, go wherever you want, and make sure you won't get lost."

Hun Yuzhang's son Xiangzi bought a rickshaw with the savings of the family and used it to pull carts for tenant farmers with a little money in Penglai City.

"Hey, puller, take me to Dongshi."

A craftsman patted Xiangzi on the shoulder. He was the son of Boss Guan, and he became a craftsman of the Wang family by virtue of his extraordinary skills.

The status of craftsmen in the royal family is second only to private soldiers, almost equal to that of royal servants.

Moreover, the wages of craftsmen are also very high, and there are rewards from time to time.

This is all because although the Wang family doesn't value low-level people or nerds, they value craftsmen and technical talents.

Therefore, the tenant farmers are very envious of the life of the royal craftsmen.

Wang's craftsmen are also the main consumers of the mutual market.

"Xiangzi?!" Guan Laoer was about to get on the rickshaw, but found Xiangzi pulling the cart, so he said with a smile, "When did you come to Penglai?"

"Hehe, I just came here a few months ago. I usually farm the land. When I have free time, I come out to pull carts to earn some spare money." Xiangzi smiled.

At this time, the group of Danhan people entered the depths of the exchange market and came to the head exchange specially opened by the Wang family.

The Danhan people who came to trade this time were from the Qiluo tribe. They had just attacked the Hulan tribe not long ago and killed more than 100 Danhan people from the Hulan tribe, so they exchanged their heads for money.

The Penglai Head Exchange specializes in trading the heads of Danhan people. As long as you bring the heads of Danhan people, you can exchange them for money.

Many Han tenant farmers also hunted some Danhan people from time to time, then cut off their heads, and went to the head exchange to exchange for money. One Danhan head can be exchanged for ten five baht coins.

In addition to the head exchange, there is also a slave exchange, which specializes in buying and selling slaves.

Generally, Korean slaves are bought and sold, and occasionally there are some Han slaves. These Han slaves usually broke the laws formulated by the royal family, so they were demoted to slaves.

"#@%#¥%...¥#"

The Koreans from the Qiluo Department spoke words that no one could understand.

Fortunately, the administrator of the head exchange is a soldier of the royal family. He spent several years learning the language of the Danhan people. The soldier said to the Danhan people of the Qiluo tribe in Danhan: "It is still the old rule. One person has ten heads. Five baht, you can use five baht to buy any goods you want to buy in the mutual market."

"Thank you." The Danhan of the Qiluo tribe thanked the Wang family's soldiers, and then asked the other Qiluo tribe who came with him to store the head of the Danhan of the Hulan tribe in the exchange, and then took 360 five The baht money was used to trade with the Han tenant farmers and the Wang family on the mutual market.

What they most want to buy is salt, followed by clothes and shoes made of cloth, and fine wine that can warm their bodies in winter, and occasionally silk clothes.

Most of the goods on the market were transported all the way from the manor by the Wang family, so the servants of the Wang family sold them, such as salt, fine wine, silk, cloth, etc.

However, some Han tenant farmers also used the five baht they had saved to buy cloth from the Wang family, and then brought the cloth home for their daughter-in-law to weave into clothes, which were then sold on the market.

Some tenant farmers haven't married their wives yet, and they themselves are big and rough, and don't know how to weave clothes, so they use the money they have saved to buy common clothes sold by other tenant farmers in the mutual market.

Danhan people also don't know how to weave clothes. They still wear animal clothes, so they are very interested in more practical and wearable civilian clothes, and they often buy a lot of them.

Because of this, Han tenant farmers who sell common clothes like these Danhan people very much. In their eyes, these Danhan people are proper fat sheep.

"I want to buy these clothes." The leader of the Qiluo tribe brought the tribe to a stall of a Han girl selling common clothes and said.

Under the influence of the Wang family, the tenant farmers of the Wang family have gradually lost the distinction between men and women, women can still come out to do business, and there are even such things as female craftsmen raising noodle heads.

At first, everyone was not used to it, but over time, everyone got used to it.

He spoke Danhan, which the Han girl couldn't understand, but she roughly understood that the people from the Qiluo tribe wanted to buy the commoner clothes she had placed on the carpet, so she stretched out three fingers.

This is the meaning of three hundred coins.

Because it was transported from the manor, there was a high transportation cost, plus the labor cost of weaving clothes, plus the Danhan people were fat sheep, so the girl raised the price.

A brand-new commoner garment usually costs between fifty and one hundred dollars in the Central Plains.

But in Penglai Island, it is usually between [-] and [-] yuan.

If it is sold to Danhan people, it will cost [-] to [-] yuan.

The leader of the Danhan people frowned. They hacked and killed more than 100 Hulan people in a bloody battle, and exchanged more than 1000 five-baht coins from the head exchange of the Wang family. In the end, they could only buy four pieces for so much money. Commoner only.
