Iron Dynasty

　　 Qingzhou.

　　 The winter snow lasted for twenty days intermittently, and it was not until this morning that a hint of crystal-like blue appeared in the gray clouds.

　　 The golden sunlight broke free from the shackles of the clouds and fell, coating the white snow with a layer of bright gold.

　　 "His Royal Highness, it's been twenty days since Li San has been here. Do you think this perfume and Drunken Qingzhou have tempted the empress and the emperor."

　　 Luluo stretched out her small hand, and while roasting on the briquettes, she supervised the people distilling rice wine in the yard.

　　 "Total days, it's time to come back." Xiao Ming was wrapped in thick felt, and the deeper the winter, the more the cold weather in the north became intolerable.

　　 Especially when sitting still, the cold is like invisible hands walking around the body.

　　 "Hmph, I don't know if the things he bought have been left behind." Luluo was still thinking about her maltose.

　　 Xiao Ming knocked Luluo on the head, "You, I like to eat."

　　 "Hee hee." Lu Luo squinted and laughed, as if expecting Li San's return, her saliva came out.

　　 Xiao Ming tightened the felt tightly on his body and looked in the direction of Chang'an, which was the political and economic center of Dayu State. Thinking with his butt, he also understood that few people who can live in Chang'an are good people.

　　 He only hopes that Li San can bring good news and try to minimize the number of moths.

　　 Although I don’t know about Li San’s news, Qin Mu’s news came quickly. Drunk Qingzhou was very popular in Chang'an. Literati, inexperienced men, pawns, and nobles all rushed to buy after tasting.

The price of 　　 Zui Qingzhou surpassed the price of 22 taels of Daughter Red within a short period of time, and also doubled directly. Now a jar of Zui Qingzhou can sell forty taels of silver.

　　 Even so, Zui Qingzhou is seriously out of stock, after all, Xiao Ming only distilled a hundred altars.

For this reason, Qin Mu couldn’t wait, so he sent Kuai Ma directly and brought the news back in five days. Qin Chuanyun learned of the news and personally went to the door to request Xiao Ming to increase the supply of Drunk Qingzhou, and promised Zuiqingzhou’s cost price increased to thirty-two per altar.

An altar of ten taels of profits made Qin Chuanyun, an old fox, deeply appreciate the benefits of cooperating with Xiao Ming. This piece of Liang’s shipbuilding work was also handed over to Xiao Ming, which was also an exchange of interests. .

　　 The fief was a waste of money, and what Xiao Ming lacked was silver. He would naturally not refuse this proposal.

　　 At the moment, he asked Chen Qi to make nine more sets of stills for him, and directly transformed the palace’s partial hall into a small factory. Zuiqingzhou’s production capacity rose from ten altars a day to 100 altars a day.

At this scale, Xiao Ming did not dare to continue to expand, because Xiao Ming needed green ant wine in Qingzhou City. This grain was purchased in large quantities for wine making. The price of staple food rose a lot at a time. If the scale is expanded, the people The days became more and more sad.

　　 This winter, the ordinary people’s life is sad. As the king of the feudal clan, he must consider the lives of the people as the parents of the six states.

　　 Therefore, he thought about building a whole winemaking measure by himself and setting up a government-run wine shop, but the food was no longer purchased from his fief, but from a rich place.

　　 When the people of the fief have enough food, he will purchase the fief again to drive the economic development of the fief.

　　 "By the way, Your Highness, when Sister Aster went to Haizhou this morning, she said that the manpower of our palace was not enough. Let me tell you if we want to buy some slaves." Lu Luo thought of something and said suddenly.

　　 Aster was sent today by Xiao Ming to purchase cattle from the land of King Wei.

　　 Compared to the five million households on the land, the shortage of cattle is too big. Spring will begin in three months. If the production tools cannot keep up at that time, it will definitely affect the next year's harvest.

　　Wang Wei, the old fox seems to have a big gap in his own cattle, and he raised the price of cattle in his fief by two to three. Now a cattle needs twenty taels of silver, which really gives him a headache.

　　 He also wants to go to other places to buy cattle, but the journey is too far, and the transportation risk is still not worthwhile.

　　 "Buy!" Xiao Ming said categorically.

　　 Li San has been thinking about development these days when he went to Chang'an. In this age of backward technology, people are production resources. In previous wars with barbarians, the purpose of satisfying many battles is to plunder population.

　　 Because these people are converted into slaves, it will greatly promote various production.

　　 Xiao Ming is now facing the same problem, one is insufficient money, the other is insufficient labor.

　　 Now the land is limited, four or five million people can only be used to resume production, but the workshop requires a large number of workers.

　　In the modern West, a large part of the initial accumulation of industrial wealth benefited from the black slave trade. According to rough data, during the black slave trade, about 20 million black slaves were sold.

　　 This is one reason why the capital world can rise rapidly.

　　 Xiao Ming knew that he was not yet able to participate in the slave trade, because he didn't even have a decent ship, and at the same time he didn't have the Virgin's Heart.

　　 Living in this era, he has to do things that conform to the law of development of this era. So he is not opposed to the slave trade. For him, this is even a necessary condition for his ZTE fiefdom.

　　" If your Royal Highness wants to buy it, Sister Aster said that there is a slave trader in Qingzhou City, and he has a slave market in the East City." Lu Luo said again.

Xiao Ming's spirit was shocked. If it hadn't been for Aster to mention this, he would have been delayed for a few days in slavery. He said: "Aster is still careful, you let Zhao Long and Zhao Hu go to the East City in the same way, and take the slave trader. come."

　　 Now Xiao Ming has gradually adapted to his identity, and he is also aware of his supremacy in the fief.

　　 In order to develop as quickly as possible, he said that he should not use his vassal rights flexibly.

　　 Luluo responded and went to find Zhao Long and Zhao Hu. In half an hour, a man with thieves and eyes was taken to the Qi Palace.

　　"Caomin Liang Dahai has seen His Royal Highness Qi Wang" Liang Dahai bowed his head, not daring to breathe.

　　 When Zhao Long and Zhao Hu appeared, he was so frightened that he thought it was the government who wanted to take him. After all, no one in the slave trade was clean.

　　 "No gift, you are Liang Dahai?" Xiao Ming was sitting in the middle of the main hall with his **** dreaded, half of his face flushed by the red flames.

　　 "Exactly." Liang Dahai said with a careful glance at Xiao Ming.

　　 Xiao Ming said in a solemn voice: "This king asked you to come here, not for other reasons, but for your business."

　　 Liang Dahai's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground, "His Royal Highness! The slaves sold by the grass people are sold voluntarily, or bought from other places, all of them have a deed of selling, and no one is abducted."
