Datang first village

The next day, Wang Ba called all the cadres for a meeting.

This time, Zhang Chuchen was just listening in, and she didn't want to participate in it anymore.

"Handle, I think the most important thing is to find a coal mine here. If the ships from Chang'an can add coal here, then the grain will be transported more each time. Therefore, in this report, His Highness King Qin should be asked to give advice. , we have coal mines here and there!"

"Okay, that's a good idea. I'll reward you with five pennies!" Wang Ba laughed.

"Handle, there are so many loaches here that they can't be counted. It seems that the people of Wa Island don't even eat them. We have good cooks, and we have high-quality snow salt. This loach is a great tonic. Let's get hundreds of thousands of catties first, It can be marinated if you can't finish it. It's hard to say what happened at sea, we have food in our hands, and we don't have a shortage in our hearts!"

"Okay, this is a good suggestion, and I will reward you with five pennies!" Wang Ba continued to laugh heartily.

……

The former gangsters and robbers were very excited, no matter whether it was useful or not, Wang Ba gave verbal rewards to everyone without exception, let alone five pennies, Wang Ba now wanted to make up enough money. Twenty copper coins are difficult, but there are mountains of silver, but those things are not food.

Finally, Wang Ba slammed the table hard: "Brothers, there is a piece of silver under our feet. Don't blame brother for being cruel, this silver mountain has been marked by the Qin Palace, who the hell doesn't understand the rules, look at the green dragon crescent moon in this certain hand!"

Wang Ba likes this Qinglong Yanyue so much, both the knife itself and the name are full of domineering.

"There are only three rules. No infighting. Anyone who is not convinced about rewards and punishments will come to Lao Tzu for comment. The last one is not to kill people indiscriminately. You should kill a slave, but you have your bastards. But you have to know that if there are fewer slaves and less work, it means cutting off our brother’s reward, whoever wants to let Lao Tzu’s Earl not get his hands, I will cut him off!”

City building, management, civil administration, and military administration.In all of these, people like Wang Ba are third-rate people.

However, the guys who occupy land, build cottages, and rob money and women are experts.

After lecturing his subordinates, Wang Ba gathered all the captives in Izumo City into the open space.There are still some former civilians here, but the clothes they wear are really indescribable.

Just dilapidated is not enough to describe their poverty.

"I am the biggest boss here. If you listen to my words, you will eat well and dress well. If you don't listen, you will be hacked to death!" Wang Ba has no language talent, which is enough to prove the fairness of the heavens. His talent lies in the sword , not culturally.But Wang Ba has educated people under his command.

A Goguryeo slave who was about 30 years old, dressed in the top-level Goguryeo aristocratic clothes, with a decorative barrier knife inlaid with countless gems, and holding a book of Analects came to Wang Ba's side.

Although he is a slave, he wears the waist badge of the Great Tang Qin Palace.

Even Wang Ba gave him some face.

This Goguryeo slave spoke Wang Ba's language in three different Japanese dialects, and added a sentence at the end: "I am a slave, but my master is noble. They are the stars in the sky, the gods who live in the world. So This time, thirty young people are recruited to study with my master, after you have shown your loyalty and your talents..."

The Goguryeo slave steward shook his wide sleeves, knowing that the width of the sleeves represents the identity.

Especially in the Palace of the King of Qin, who worshiped Hanfu more and more, the sleeves of scribes represented your status and identity.For example, the sleeves of Yu Shinan, the calligraphy and poetry teacher of Qin Wang, the cloth used for the two sleeves alone is enough for Qiuxiang to make two long skirts.But this is the status, the long gown of the Han Dynasty celebrity.

Although this Goguryeo slave is wearing the Goguryeo color, the sleeves are also biased towards Hanfu.

His identity is not enough, only one foot.You must know that the width of Yu Shinan's sleeves has reached the hem of the gown, this is the ultimate celebrity.

Shaking his sleeves, he was showing his identity to the poor people of Wajima.

"The royal family of Goguryeo is nothing more than that. Even if they have the opportunity to listen to a word of teaching in front of my master, when they come back here, the royal family here will bow their heads in front of you, because you are the truly noble. No matter Men and women, as long as you think you have talent, come and run!"

Horses of rainbow brocade were brought up, fanned pork, bags of rice, steel knives, leather boots, and leather shoes.

These things are treasures in the northern part of Wa Island, which is poor and not yet fully civilized.

"If he is chosen, his family will be rewarded. His status here will also be promoted from the lowest slave to the highest." The Goguryeo slave said loudly.

Suddenly, his tone changed: "Two years ago, I was a low-level slave in a wealthy merchant in Goguryeo. I never had enough to eat, wore the most shabby clothes, and worked the most exhausting words. But During these years of being a slave, the businessman did business with Wadao and Datang, which also taught me some words of Wadao and Datang."

This Goguryeo slave actually cried.

Wang Ba was also stunned for a moment, it doesn't have to be like this in acting, the big man is really crying!

But looking at it again, it doesn't seem to be acting.

"One day, our Goguryeo was defeated. I was a slave anyway, and was sold to Tang Dynasty again by the Mohe people. My master, he is a star in the sky, he is a god in the world. He sent people to teach me to write and read. The clothes I wear are more gorgeous than those of my master back then, and the food I eat cannot be eaten by the royal family of Goguryeo. Praise my master, he is a star in the sky and a god on earth!"

The slave of Goguryeo was a little crazy, and he knelt down in the direction of Chang'an City.

"Well, Park interpreter has worked hard, help him down and rest." Wang Ba felt a little weird, because he didn't know what the Goguryeo man said, and it didn't seem to be what he said just now.

Fortunately, Wang Ba has more than one interpreter, and two small officials sent by the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty.

This little official is an official official, and his status here is not low.However, he knew the rules, and gave Wang Ba the gift of a subordinate in front of Wang Ba, and whispered to Wang Ba what the Goguryeo man said just now in Chinese. Wang Ba was also deeply moved, but he did not claim to be a Instead, Lao Tzu said: "I also have a deep understanding. Back then when the roaring mountains and forests were far from what they are now, and three years later, I thought it would be even better."

"Xiaguan also thinks so. Xiaguan has practiced here for three years, and he will be at least a fifth-rank official when he returns to Chang'an."

"Then go ahead, choose the good ones. When they come back, they can help us manage these Wa Island people."

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Wang Ba has gradually gotten used to it. He used scolding with gangsters, and it was natural to be polite with official officials.This is a matter of identity and face.

Recently, Wang Ba has started to learn to write.

That treasure-like thing is placed in front of the face, no one is not tempted.

The life of a slave is only worth two stones of rice on Wa Island, and it would be impossible to wrap his body in silk.There are people who are willing to exchange a piece of silk, that bright color, and a life for a piece of cloth, not to mention that they themselves are slaves, and their lives are worthless.

"Whoa whoa whoa..."

Wang Ba glanced sideways at the wooden cage over there, a man about 30 years old was screaming strangely, Wang Ba couldn't understand it at all.

The civil official whispered in front of Wang Ba: "He said, what is his family's name? He is the elder of the city lord. He knows thousands of Chinese characters, and he also knows how to calculate and manage accounts. He is willing to exchange himself for a piece of silk." , They are nobles, even if they are captured as slaves, they must have dignity, and then he hopes that the silk will be used as a dowry for his daughter, and then let his son go to Datang to study with him like him, and then it is nonsense .”

Wang Ba had a cold face: "He said, he is not a slave?"

"Well, His Highness didn't say that, everyone must be slaves. Anyway, those who work for us are good people, and the rest are slaves. Besides, it doesn't matter whether we are slaves or not!"

The civil servant was next to come up with ideas.

When Wang Ba heard this, he nodded vigorously: "Gao Ming, you scholars are really smart, and I will teach you to know [-] more characters tonight. You go do it!"

What is silk?

What Wang Ba brought was all the goods at the bottom of the warehouse, and all the real good goods were taken away by Gao Baiyang for gold.

A piece of rainbow brocade with impure color, two pieces of burlap, two pieces of fine white linen, a stone of rice, and a pork leg.These things are worthwhile for an obedient Japanese Islander Wang Ba, let alone a family.

The so-called old man was only in his 50s, but he looked like a shrewd old man.

He is very good at choosing, knowing what it means to follow the right master, and he can also tell that these people, even the leader holding a huge stainless steel knife, is just a warrior captain.This is a huge force with a strict organization.

After being released from the wooden cage, he whispered to the civil servant who distributed the reward to him: "Dare to ask how much wealth your master owns, how many warriors! How many slaves?"

"Ha!" The civil servant laughed dryly, but he didn't know how to answer.

"What did he say?" Wang Ba asked viciously.

The civil servant said the question to Wang Ba in Chinese, and Wang Ba laughed: "Someone like XX doesn't even have a seat in front of His Highness, and if he can stand at the door of the tent, he can look up to XX. Wealth, His Highness King Qin still uses it." To talk about wealth?"

The civil official thought for a while and said to the elder of the Yiyi family: "Our leader needs a low-level person in front of the master. At most, it is equivalent to a small leader of your warriors here. When it comes to wealth, no one can count it. Speaking of Slaves, there are millions of slaves, just like the guy just now, he is still not popular!"

"My family is willing to swear allegiance to the death!"

This is allegiance?

The civil servants were surprised, and Wang Ba was also surprised. How much money and how many warriors did you have to determine the object of allegiance?

A few days later, the largest city with a radius of 40 li with a wooden wall fell into Wang Ba's hands.About 3000 taels of silver and [-] taels of gold were packed by Wang Ba, and he sent [-] elite men to escort [-] slaves and [-] special slaves to the sea. (To be continued.)
