Chapter 42

Qingzhou.

It snowed intermittently for 20 days. It was not until this morning that a touch of crystal blue appeared in the gray clouds.

The golden sun broke free from the shackles of the clouds and spread down, plating a layer of bright gold on the white snow.

"Your Highness, this Li has gone three days," he said. "Do you say this perfume and drunk Qingzhou have made the queen empress and the emperor move?"

With her little hand outstretched, she roasted her hands on the briquette stove and supervised the servants in the yard to distill rice wine.

"Counting the days, it's time to come back." Xiao Ming is covered with thick felt. The deeper the winter, the more unbearable the cold weather in the north.

Especially when sitting still, the cold is like an invisible hand swimming around the body.

"Well, I don't know if the things he ordered have been left behind. "Lvluo is still thinking about her maltose.

Xiao Ming knocked on lvluo's head, "you like to eat."

"Hee hee." Lu Luo narrowed her eyes and laughed. She seemed to be expecting Li San to come back. Her saliva came out.

Xiao Ming tightens his tight felt and looks in the direction of Chang'an, the political and economic center of the state of Chongqing. He also knows that few people who can live in Chang'an are good people.

He only hoped that Li San would bring good news and try to have as few as possible.

Although I don't know Li San's news, Qin Mu's news spread very quickly. Zuiqingzhou was very popular in Chang'an. Literati, literary men, pawns, tycoons and aristocrats all rushed to buy after tasting.

In a short period of time, the price of zuiqingzhou was more than 20 liang of daughter red, and it doubled directly. Now, a jar of zuiqingzhou can sell 40 liang of silver.

Even so, drunk Qingzhou is out of stock, after all, Xiao Ming just distilled a hundred jars.

So Qin Mu couldn't wait to send a horse and brought the news back in five days. Qin Chuanyun heard the news and asked Xiao Ming to increase the supply of zuiqingzhou. At the same time, he promised to raise the cost price of zuiqingzhou to 321.

Qin Chuanyun, an old fox, is deeply aware of the benefits of cooperation with Xiao Ming because of the profits of a jar of ten Liang. This piece of work of Liang's shipbuilding workshop has also been given to Xiao Ming, which is also an exchange of interests.

There is a lot of wasteland to be reclaimed. What Xiao Ming lacks most is silver. Naturally, he won't refuse this proposal.

Now he asked Chen Qi to make nine sets of distillers for him, and directly transformed the palace into a small factory. The production of zuiqingzhou increased from ten jars a day to 100 jars a day.

At this scale, Xiao Ming did not dare to continue to expand, because in Qingzhou market, because Xiao Ming needed green ant wine, a large number of grains were purchased for wine making. At one time, the price of staple food rose a lot. If we expand the scale, the people's life will be more and more difficult.

This winter, the people's life was very hard. As a vassal, the parents of the people in six states, he had to consider the people's life.

So he thought about building a whole wine making system and setting up an official winery, but the grain was no longer purchased from his fiefdom, but from a place rich in grain.

When there was enough food in the common people's families, he would purchase in the fiefdom to promote the economic development of the fiefdom.

"By the way, your highness, when sister aster went to Haizhou this morning, she said that there were not enough people in our palace. Let me tell you if I want to buy some slaves." Lvluo thought of something and said suddenly.

Today, aster was sent by Xiao Ming to buy cattle in the fiefdom of the king of Wei.

Compared with the five million households on the fiefdom, the shortage of cattle is too big. Spring will start in three months. If the production tools can't keep up at that time, it will certainly affect the next year's harvest.

The old fox, the king of Wei, seems to have a big gap in his farming cattle, which has raised the price of his farming cattle by three Liang. Now a farming cattle needs twenty Liang silver, which really gives him a headache.

He also wanted to buy farm cattle from other places, but it was too far away, and the transportation risk was not cost-effective.

"Buy it!" Xiao Ming said firmly.

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

Because the conversion of these people into slaves will greatly promote all kinds of production.

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

Now the land is limited. Four or five million people can only be used to resume production, but the workshops need a lot of workers.

In the modern West, a large part of the accumulation of industrial wealth in the early days benefited from the slave trade. According to the general data, during the slave trade, about 20 million slaves were sold.

This is also a reason why the capital world can rise rapidly.

Xiao Ming knew that he was not able to participate in the slave trade, because he didn't even have a decent boat. At the same time, he didn't have the heart of Virgin Mary.

Living in this era, he had to do something in line with the law of development of this era, so he did not oppose the slave trade, which was even a necessary condition for him to revive the fiefdom.”If your highness wants to buy it, elder sister aster says that there is a slave dealer in Qingzhou City. He has a slave market in Dongshi. "Said Lu Luo.

Xiao Ming's spirit was shocked. If it wasn't for aster to mention the issue of slaves, he would have delayed some days. He said, "aster is still careful. Let Zhao long and Zhao Hu go to Dongshi and bring the slave dealer here."

Now Xiao Ming gradually adapted to his own identity and knew his supreme right in the fiefdom.

In order to develop as soon as possible, he said not to use the power of his vassal flexibly.

Lvluo answered, and went to find Zhao long and Zhao Hu. Half an hour later, a man with a bad look was taken to the palace of king Qi.

"Caomin Liang Dahai has seen his Royal Highness the king of Qi." Liang Dahai bows his head and dare not breathe.

When Zhao long and Zhao Hu appeared, he was so scared that he thought the government wanted to take him. After all, no one was clean.

"Pardon, are you Liang Dahai?" Xiao Ming was sitting in the middle of the main hall, his face flushed with the fire.

"Exactly." Liang Dahai takes a careful look at Xiao Ming and says.

Xiao Mingsu said: "I asked you to come here not for anything else, but for your business."

As soon as Liang Dahai's face turned white, he immediately knelt down on the ground, "Your Highness! The slaves sold by the grassroots were sold voluntarily or bought from other places. All of them had deeds of sale, and none of them was abducted. “
