NOVEL NEXT Li Zhi, don't be a coward
Chapter 1140
Chapter 1140
He made a lot of money in Japan, but Li Qinzai is very short of money now.
When he decided to give all the remaining money in the family to the family of Paoze who died in the war, the Li family was basically empty.
Li Qinzai did not go so far as to lose his family and property for others, leaving his wife and children to starve and freeze, so Li Qinzai now urgently needs to earn money to support his family.
When I came to the old man's house today, Li Qinzai had an inspiration on the way.
Qingzhou is very close to Dengzhou, and Dengzhou seaport is the port between Datang and Wa Kingdom, so there is a lot of room for making money.
Now Li Qinzai's status in the Wa Kingdom is almost equal to that of the Supreme Emperor, and whoever becomes the head of the Wa Kingdom depends on his face.
Although the Wa Kingdom had recruited [-] young and strong men to the Haidong Peninsula, its potential was far from being tapped.
Are Women Worth It?Is the remaining youth worth anything?There are millions of people in Wa Island, not to mention the elderly and children, at least half of them are women and young adults. These populations are wasted money.
Xue Na's business in the Japanese country at the beginning, many Japanese women even asked to be trafficked to the Tang Dynasty as slaves and handmaids in order to find a way to survive, but Xue Na's business was still too conservative.
Of course, the young and strong of the Wa country can also be sold. The Tang Dynasty now has a vast territory, but the population is small and there is a shortage of labor.
The landlords and gentry in various states and counties of the Tang Dynasty must be very interested in this business.
People from other countries don't have to be too kind to them, make sure they don't starve to death, and then let them work like hell.
Moreover, after all the young and strong people in the territory of Wa Kingdom were transferred, it would also benefit Datang's rule of Wa Island.
The populations of the Tang Dynasty and the Wa country gradually merged, coupled with the brainwashing of the Central Plains culture, the gradual unification of writing and customs, and the precipitous decline in the population base, ten or twenty years later, the Wa country will be able to lose its country name and officially become the center of the Tang Dynasty. Two or three states.
Occupying a piece of land is easy, but the hard part is digesting the land and making it truly your own.
This process is very long, maybe ten years, maybe 20 years, or even half a century.
In the previous life, the Wa Kingdom occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom and took it as its territory, and there was a US military base on it, but did it really conquer Ryukyu?More than half a century later, the Ryukyu people still have no sense of belonging to the Wa country, and are fighting for independence every year.
Massacres, cultural brainwashing, population dilution, obliteration of the written customs and language of the original country, all kinds of means, coupled with the subtle influence of the long years, can truly digest this land.
Not only Wa, but also Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla.
Li Zhi still has a long way to go.
Cui's family had a banquet, and the host and guests had a good time, Cui Linqian was obviously a little drunk.
Until the end of the banquet, several elders of the Cui family were still sitting upright, whether drinking wine or eating food, they were all light and slow tasting, without any gaffe.
For them, observing the etiquette of their ancestors is more important than personal desires.
Li Qinzai observed him calmly, only feeling strange in his heart, can such a person really be happy in this world?
After the banquet was over, Cui Linqian personally arranged a wing room for Li Qinzai and Cui Jie in the backyard.
The wing room is Cui Jie's boudoir when she was not married. It is very clean inside, with a touch of incense, the bed and bedding are all new, there are still some books on the desk in the room, and there are a few calligraphy and paintings on the wall. The signature is actually Cui Jie's handwriting.
The strokes of calligraphy and painting are a little immature, obviously they were made by her when she was young. Seeing Li Qinzai looking at her boudoir, Cui Jie was a little shy, and hurriedly took off the calligraphy and painting on the wall, rolled them up and stuffed them under the bed.
"What are you taking, let me admire Madam's calligraphy, I don't see that Madam was a talented girl when she was young." Li Qinzai laughed.
Cui Jie blushed and said, "My husband, don't read the graffiti works of inexperienced years. When I wrote them back then, I felt proud of them, so I had the audacity to hang them up. Looking at them now, it's extremely ridiculous."
Li Qinzai shook his head disapprovingly: "What's so ridiculous about it? Look at the words I wrote. It looks like a ghostly talisman, but I still write it out grandly, and dare to write a memorial to the emperor."
"As long as you have a thick skin, there is nothing to be shy about, madam, be brave."
Cui Jie gave him a blank look: "My concubine's skin is not one ten thousandth thicker than my husband's, I'm afraid I'm not that brave, my husband is more considerate."
Li Qinzai sighed, he didn't expect that chatting between husband and wife could lead to death, what about the agreed upon harmony?
The father-in-law is drunk, and it is not suitable to talk about business at this time.
Li Qinzai slept in Cui Jie's boudoir for two hours, and only woke up when it was getting dark.
The dinner party is still full of honored guests, big fish and meat, and good wine and beauty.
After the host and guests dispersed, Li Qinzai called Xue Na and found Cui Linqian. The three of them walked in the huge back garden of Cui's house, talking about business while walking.
"Sell someone?" Cui Linqian frowned, looking at the two with devastated eyes.
Li Qinzai hurriedly said: "It's not about selling people. To be precise, it's about helping the people of the Wa Kingdom to find employment, improving the happiness of their citizens, and exchanging their wisdom and sweat for food..."
Cui Linqian nodded: "That's right, it's selling people."
Li Qinzai: "..."
We are all decent people, can't we put it in a euphemistic way?
Cui Linqian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Don't fool me, think I don't know anything? The Cui family's singing and dancing orchids, and dozens of Kunlun slaves were all bought from the people's market."
"However, their business is done openly and aboveboard. Selling is selling. There are no brazen reasons like yours."
Li Qinzai sighed, the father-in-law is becoming more and more difficult to get along with...
Xue Na, who was pushing the wheelchair behind him, puffed up his chest and said, "That's right, we're just selling people, Japanese people, and we're earning fair money, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Cui Linqian turned his head and glanced at Xue Na, then looked at Li Qinzai and said with a smile: "Mr. Tianhe, if the reputation of the Cui family is ruined, the old man will not agree."
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "I'm in charge of dealing with the official affairs of the Wa Kingdom. Well, in the Wa Kingdom, the son-in-law still has this bit of power. Brother Shen Yan can ask the Xue family to send someone to recruit young and strong Japanese people in the Wa Kingdom. And girls, we will set off with 2000 people."
"As for the father-in-law, you can set up a station in Dengzhou. After the person is sent to Dengzhou, the Cui family will be responsible for selling the labor. With the prestige of the Cui family in Qingzhou, they must be quite familiar with the landlords and gentry in the Hedong North Road. They are familiar with Qingzhou. Zhuang Laoli should not refuse, right?"
Cui Linqian hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "To be honest, this business has a bad reputation, I really can't make up my mind..."
Li Qinzai said with a smirk: "My father-in-law, don't pretend, it's not time to distribute the benefits, pretending too early is a waste of expression..."
"Can nobleness and reputation be exchanged for money? There are so many wastelands in Hebei and Hebei. Tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand young and strong laborers have invested here to open up wasteland and cultivate land. I don't believe you are not tempted."
