Chapter 90: The memoir of the Fox Lao Ba: It’s quite fragrant!

The auction was held in the morning, and the merchants who took the snowflakes and fine salt in the afternoon paid the full amount and took away the corresponding share of the snowflakes and fine salt. They were clean and neat and without any delay.

So, the witch temple was filled with gold and sword coins.

The gold was in the shape of a golden cake, one or two pieces, and there were 63 golden cakes quietly placed in front of everyone.

Why is it sixty-three? In fact, not all merchants have brought enough gold. Without gold, merchants will pay with knives. If the knives are not enough, they will use cloth, grain and other goods to convert them.

Therefore, in addition to gold, there are also baskets of large, medium and small knife coins in the house.

Wu Tong sighed: "Gold is 100 taels. Although I have seen more gold and more wealth than this, I feel the most proud this time!"

The bald dragon nodded: "Yes, I remember that when King Xuan was in the imperial capital, he was very generous. The reward was ten taels of gold, dozens of taels, or even hundreds of taels, without even blinking. At that time, this dragon had no comparison. Now, looking at the hundred taels of gold, I couldn't help but feel emotion!"

Yao Yun was secretly shocked, and he had already started to scold this cheap father with a body in his heart. He was a prodigal man who would give others a hundred taels of gold at will. Why didn’t he know how to save more savings for him!

"Mr. Long, why are you feeling sad? You've seen 100 taels of gold!"

The bald dragon shook his head at Yao Yun and said contemptuously: "Of course I feel that I thought that when I followed King Xuan, I could not catch my eyes on a few taels of gold. But when the prince ascended the throne, I was actually moved by a hundred taels of gold. Do you think I am getting worse and worse? Prince, don't you need to review it?"

Yao Yun suddenly burst into tears. I am wronged or not. I have just become the king for less than half a year. What's the matter with Xidu's poverty!

"What should I do to review? That's because you are too loser and don't leave any savings for Gu. Look, Gu needs to start from scratch now, Gu hasn't accused you yet!"

The bald dragon was stunned, yes, it seemed to be wrong.

Wu Tong laughed dryly and smoothed out the situation: "King, a hundred taels of gold is also a considerable amount. You can buy 100,000 stones of grain. And just one snowflake and fine salt, you will probably earn at least a hundred taels of gold every month in the future. I wonder what the king has plans."

When talking about the serious matters, Yao Yun was too lazy to argue with Bald Dragon, so he thought for a while and said, "First, it is used for iron smelting workshops and blacksmith workshops. I want to promote iron farm tools. But the people in Xidu are generally poor, and the people don't have much spare money, so we need subsidies for the first year."

When Wu Tong heard this, he felt it was reasonable and nodded repeatedly: "The prince is right, this money must be spent."

Yao Yun said again: "This winter, I asked Wu Temple to sort out the Xidu household registration and found that the entire Xi was less than 4,000 households, and the number of slaves was less than 20,000. The population was too small, and the labor was really insufficient. We had iron tools and land fertilization methods to raise more people, so Xi needed more people."

If a place wants to develop, population is a very important part and is indispensable.

Wu Tong nodded with satisfaction again. Compared to King Xuan, Wu Tong now likes the little king Yao Yun more. Although King Xuan is talented, he is too impatient after all.

The prince Yun, who had just ascended the throne, was different. Although he was young, he was old and steady. He had the same long-term vision, but he was willing to be down-to-earth, took his steps and did things step by step, and was organized and not impatient. Inadvertently, he showed an indescribable spirit!

Wu Tong was very satisfied with his little king and smiled with relief: "The king is going to buy slaves?"

"That's right, Izumo Caravan, Sihai Caravan, etc. have official backgrounds from other vassal states, so it's just right to buy slaves from them."

After saying that, Yao Yun sighed and felt a lot of emotion.

How many happy families in the previous life were fragmented due to the greed of human traffickers. Yao Yun, who traveled through time, was naturally not happy with human trafficking.

But times are different, and the situation is very different.

In this era, slave trading was legal. The major vassal states fought against the four barbarians and eight deserts year by year. Many major vassal states also had wars. Every year, countless people became prisoners and later became slaves. In addition, some were illegal and demoted to slaves.

Therefore, slave transactions have become a trend, and it is like this in the whole Xia.

Of course, major vassal states also stipulate that slave transactions can only be operated by the official, and every slave has a certificate, and private slave trafficking without certificates is illegal.

This is also a kind of protection for ordinary people. After all, private slave trafficking is not prohibited, and ordinary people dare not go out for fear of being knocked and slapped and caught in a remote place and sold.

Because of the origin of slaves, Yao Yun is not opposed to buying slaves. Thinking about it from another perspective, he actually did good deeds when buying those slaves.

After all, the slaves must have lived better under him than other places. They are ambitious and skilled slaves. Yao Yun can also provide channels for promotion, allowing them to become common people again and live a normal life.

This is different starting point, but its meaning is different.

Huangshi Tianshu released the task of liberating slaves, but Yao Yun chose to ignore it. This task is a big pit. Not to mention that it will anger the big slave owners on a large scale, even if Xidu slaps in his palm, liberating slaves can kill him.

After all, the slaves were bought and they were liberated directly. Wouldn't Xi go bankrupt?

Therefore, these things need to be slowly pursued, first make slaves who are motivated, perform well, and create value first become common people, and then slowly promote more slaves to common people.

In this way, Yao Yun will not only not be under economic pressure, but also benefit from it. After all, a motivated and hardworking commoner with skills is worth several numb and dull slaves.

......

Outside the suburbs of Xidu, deep in the mountains, the Qingqiu Mountains.

The fox elder eight has been unfavorable recently. First, they imitated the fox elder six and went to the mine to steal people. As a result, they failed to learn from the tiger and became a dog. They were caught by human Qi Refiners.

What's even more unlucky is that I happened to meet someone's reinforcements and threw my life inside.

Before his death, his mental power did not dissipate immediately, but looked at it in a state similar to a ghost for a long time, watching his skin disappear, his flesh was broken, and then he put it in the pot.

After a lot of seasonings are cooked, it becomes a pot of broth.

The human race is really hateful. When the fox Laoba looked at this scene, he was so angry that his heart was bleeding. The most important thing is that the meat is quite fragrant!

Although Fox Lao Ba has two lives, it is the original and genuine body. Without it, Fox Lao Ba's cultivation has dropped sharply, and he can't even be considered a first-rate product. Most of his magic has been gone.

I don’t know how long it will take to become a first-class monster again!

The old fox was angry and aggrieved, and could not swallow this, but his strength was not enough, so he ran back to Qingqiu Mountain that day to cry to the nine-tailed fox monsters.

Hu Laoliu laughed at him, and he endured it.

What hit him the most was that when the older nine-tailed fox monsters in Qingqiu Mountain heard about his experience, they not only did not sympathize with him, but instead scolded him and locked him up.

Hu Laoba felt aggrieved.

Seeing that he was eaten by the human race, his companions not only did not help him avenge him or comfort him, but instead glared at him, which caused a heavy blow to his fragile heart.
