Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 179

Incheon Port

Hundreds of ships moored here, and thousands of Han people got off the boats. Special officials of the royal family divided the reclamation areas for these Han people, and presented them with food, seeds, salt, agricultural tools, cattle, and iron plows.

Mahan slaves are building houses that will be distributed to Han sharecroppers.

Han tenant farmers could rely on the accumulated money to buy Mahan girls in the slave market to carry on their families, or they could buy Mahan slaves to farm for themselves.

In Incheon City, many Han tenant farmers rely on their usual farming and hunting Mahan people in their spare time, realizing the freedom of wealth. They buy Mahan girls as wives and concubines, and buy strong Mahan slaves to help them farm the fields together, while he himself manages Some handicrafts, earn more money.

They were tenant farmers of the royal family and farmers of the Mahan slaves at the same time, tenant farmers and farmers at the same time.

Since the Wang family has [-] hidden taxpayers, even if the [-] Han people in Liaodong are moved away, there is no problem at all.

Snapped!
A whip was whipped on the back of a Mahan slave.

"what--"

The Mahan slave screamed in pain and continued to work with tears in his eyes.

It was Zhang Bei, the third brother of the Taoyuan team, who whipped the whip.

With the complete annihilation of the Baekje Kingdom, the Wang family expanded on the ruins of the Baekje City and renamed it "Seoul".

There are so many things to build, such as city walls, houses, streets, lanes, country cottages, and more.

The royal family has few troops, and they don't have that many troops to guard such a huge number of slaves.

Therefore, only Seoul was built by the royal family's private soldiers and servants to monitor the Mahan slaves, while the houses and roads outside Seoul were all in charge of hunting teams.

The Wang family contracted the roads, bridges, and houses in a certain area to a certain hunting team. The hunting team hunted the Mahan slaves by themselves, prepared various supplies, and then monitored the Mahan slaves to complete the project assigned by the Wang family. After the project was completed, The children of the Wang family will personally inspect the completion of the project. After passing the inspection, the hunting team can ask the Wang family for the corresponding project payment.

The three Taoyuan brothers contracted the western section of the road between Seoul and Incheon City.

The stone slabs needed for paving the road were bought by the three brothers from the stone masonry workshop in Incheon City, and the money for buying the stone slabs was accumulated by hunting horses and Han people over the years.

In order to make it easier for the hunting team to hunt Mahan slaves, the royal family tore up the alliance treaty with other Mahan tribes, and only kept the alliance treaty of Guliguo, because Guliguo is deep inland and its land is in a hilly area. Relatively speaking, it is not easy to deal with.

"Captain, another Mahan slave is exhausted!"

At this time, a member of the Taoyuan team said to the captain Liu Yu.

The Taoyuan team has also been expanded, and has absorbed more than a dozen players. In addition to the three brothers, there are now 18 people. People in the Jianghu are called "Taoyuan Eighteen Han".

Every member of the Taoyuan team rides a horse. This is their reward for hunting Mahan slaves again and again, and they rely on their own hard work in exchange for it.

"En." Liu Yu responded lightly, and then rode to the dead body of the Mahan man, pointed the long sword in his hand at the body of the Mahan man on the ground, and smiled at the other Mahan slaves: "Congratulations, extra dinner tonight!"

Liu Yu thinks that he is a very kind and modest gentleman. As a superior, even in the face of a group of slaves, he is still willing to feed these slaves meat, instead of eating meat in rice porridge like those corrupt officials in the Central Plains. Mix bark and leaves into it.

The numb Mahan slave suddenly regained his energy and worked harder than before.

"Second brother, how much consumables do we have left?" Liu Yu asked his second brother Guan Fei beside him.

"More than a dozen have died these days, and now there are only 130 and seven slaves left." The second brother Guan Fei has a beard and flushed cheeks. It can be seen that the young man's blood is too strong, and he needs to find a few women to meet his needs.

"Third brother, how are you getting in touch with other hunting teams?" Liu Yu asked his third brother Zhang Bei again.

"Oh, don't talk about it, those people are so stingy, they just don't want to sell consumables cheaply, I said that we are 220 yuan more than the purchase price of the Wang family, the Wang family buys a young and middle-aged slave for [-] yuan, and we buy a young and middle-aged slave for [-] yuan , but those hunting teams still refuse to agree, everyone is a miser!" Zhang Bei, the third brother, blew his beard and stared at him when he said this, he had a leopard head and eyes around him, and he was very murderous.

The Taoyuan team has to monitor the slaves for construction projects, so they can't spare manpower to hunt slaves, so they can only reluctantly spend money to replenish some slaves to prevent the shortage of slaves.

"Now that the Wang family has engaged in a lot of construction projects, the demand for slaves is astonishing, so that the price of slaves continues to soar. Even though there are many hunting teams hunting Mahan slaves around, the supply is still in short supply. The current slave market is very hot." Guan Feiyao He shook his head and said, the current slave market is like this, the Wang family can't buy new slaves, they can only use the original slaves.

"Too many hunting teams have contracted the projects assigned by the Wang family." Zhang Bei was very envious. After all, their Taoyuan team was not a powerful hunting team, and it was a blessing to win the bid for the stone road project at the west end.

"Then add more money. We will buy it for [-] yuan. If you don't believe it, they won't sell it!" Liu Yu pondered for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, and said reluctantly.

"Big brother!"

Guan Fei and Zhang Bei were very surprised. They didn't expect their eldest brother to be so determined, and it was really admirable to make such a big investment. But four hundred dollars a slave is not something the Taoyuan team can afford, so they persuaded : "Our team doesn't have that much money. If we can't buy many slaves at the price of [-] yuan, we will go bankrupt."

"Let them pay the slaves first, and when our project is completed, part of the bounty given by the Wang family will be used to repay the debt." Liu Yu said looking at the sky, he really made a lot of determination.

"Pay the slaves first, and then give the money later? But they all pay the money and deliver the goods. Will they agree to this method?" Guan Fei was a little worried.

"With such a high price, there will always be people who can't resist the temptation to cooperate with us." Liu Yu said firmly.

At this time, it was getting late, and Liu Yu shouted to the team members again: "Let's eat and rest! Camp for the night!"

bell bell -

Zhang Bei rode a horse, shaking the bell in his hand, and galloped through the crowd: "Let's eat and rest! Camp for the night!"

"Woooo!"

The Mahan slaves were extremely excited and danced.

The members of the Taoyuan team first tied the hands and feet of the Mahan slaves to wooden stakes to prevent them from escaping, and covered them with straw mats to prevent them from freezing to death at night.

After all, these slaves are the private property of the Taoyuan team, and they are their precious property. These precious properties cannot be wiped out by the cold.

Liu Yu thinks that he has the traditional virtues of diligence and thrift in the Central Plains, so he will not do extravagant things that waste property, so he will also equip the slaves with tents and straw mats to keep them warm.

It has to be said that although these Ma and Han slaves worked very hard, they were at least happier than the refugees in the Central Plains. A large number of the refugees in the Central Plains would freeze to death during the night, but the imperial court's taxation on them continued unabated.

Pong!
crackle crackle crackle!

The members of the Taoyuan team set up several large bronze tripods, lit a fire under the tripods, and put various wild vegetables, corn, salt, and animal fats into the tripods.

The Taoyuan team has a special bronze tripod, which is full of fish.

The reason why it is fish meat is because the sheep are kept by the Wang family for shearing, the cattle are forbidden to eat, and the horses are even forbidden to eat.

And pigs are too dirty, which can easily cause plague, and it is very troublesome to clean them up.

Chickens also need to be kept to lay eggs, so they are more expensive.

Therefore, the only meat that can be eaten is actually duck and fish. Relatively speaking, fish is much cheaper, after all, the Wang family is close to the sea.

The Mahan slaves had no fish to eat, but it was not too bad. Their food was corn and wild vegetables, a little salt and a little animal fat.

And tonight, they are blessed.

The smelly corpse on the ground was thrown into the bronze cauldron for cooking, and the smell of meat gradually spread throughout the camp.

The team members showed happy smiles. They are creating wealth with their own hands and making themselves rich through their own efforts.

They don't need to steal or rob, relying on their own efforts can have a prosperous life, have their own house, have their own wives and concubines.

"cheers!"

The members of the Taoyuan team drank fish broth and toasted with fish broth.

For fear of making mistakes, drinking alcohol is prohibited in the team.

Those Mahan slaves were also drinking broth. Although the broth tasted different, they were also very happy, and they also showed happy smiles.

Because their hands and feet were bound, special members of the Taoyuan team made soup for them.

The master makes soup for the slave himself, which is really a model of benevolence, righteousness and morality. This is the saint!

At least they are nobler than those nobles in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and more civilized and etiquette than those nobles in the Central Plains.

After all, the nobles of the Western Zhou Dynasty would not lower their status to make soup for the slaves in person.

If Confucius had seen the situation here, he would have been moved to tears and said, "I never thought that I, Confucius, would see the legendary rule of three generations of sage kings here. Hearing the truth from the morning, you can die in the evening!"
