Chapter 374 (2/2)
At last she convinced herself.
In fact, those who were trafficked were lucky to be in her hands. At least there's something to eat. It'll live.
If it's in the hands of others, it's a question of whether you can live more than half a year.
In this era, human trafficking is a huge business.
Beirong Xiliang is selling people from Dazhou, and Dazhou has been selling people from Beirong and Xiliang.
Whether Gu Jiu will be involved or not, this business will always exist. And it's a huge deal.
Gu Jiu participates in it. She can at least be a master with a little conscience and will not enslave herself to death.
In fact, Gu Jiu sometimes reflects on himself. Did she change the times or was she assimilated into it?
Human trafficking, human trafficking ah, in modern times, everyone shouts.
But in the ancient society, she seemed to accept the fact.
Is human trafficking a crime?
It's evil.
However, there are still many small people willing to sell themselves, into high-ranking families as slaves.
For example, those servants in the palace asked them to resume their good citizen status and make a living on their own. They could kneel at the door and cry for three days and three nights, just like their parents died.
In this era, this sentence is reflected incisively and vividly.
The life of the small people is difficult.
Many times, I just want to find a supporter.
If those prisoners can not be sold as slaves, they can only be killed in pits. Because they waste food.
Food is precious, and his soldiers are not enough to eat. How can they give food to the prisoners.In Gu Jiu's opinion, it is a pity and a waste to kill prisoners.
Those are strong laborers.
Isn't it good to keep it as a coolie?
In fact, Gu Jiu had the idea of buying prisoners long ago, as early as in the northwest.
But at the beginning, she had no capital, no identity, and no opportunity. The idea was suppressed by her.
However, after today, the time is basically ripe.
That's why she took the opportunity to ask.
The magistrate's face hesitated.
Gu Jiu, with his eloquence of three inches, persuades the family order of Shaofu that ”Laozu Zong, buying and selling the population of Beirong Xiliang, especially the prisoners, is tantamount to weakening the strength of Beirong Xiliang. This is good for the country and the people!
Secondly, you only need to communicate with the border troops in various places. If you transport people to the designated places, you will have a lot of money in your accounts. It is equivalent to your Shao Fu's opening up a business without capital and collecting profits.
In addition, the frontier army also has an additional income, which can give the soldiers two more meat and fish meals, and can wear cotton padded jacket on them in winter. Such good things, why not.
Let's not forget that the northern Rong and Xiliang plundered our population, made slaves and slaves, and harmed our people. Shouldn't we take revenge and go back? ”
However, he still did not agree, ”this is a matter of great importance. I need to report to your majesty and get your Majesty's permission before you can agree. What's more, trafficking in human beings, after all, hurts Tianhe. There must be impeachment in the court. ”
Gu Jiu Tucao: ”make complaints about the middle school and the middle school are mostly pedantic. Holding the memorial archway of the state of rites all day long, he watched his people being plundered and maimed.
We just treat people with their own way, that is to say, it hurts Tianhe. When their own people are injured, why don't they say there is harm to Tianhe? Why don't you want revenge? Because of those pedantic people in Chaozhong, every war is a loss making business. They only see the money spent, but not the income.
If this goes on for a long time, will the border army still be able to fight in another 20 or 30 years? I'm afraid that as soon as there is a fight, a large group of old masters in the middle of the court will start to clamor for war and abandon their martial arts. ”
The young master's family order was a little confused, ”can we make money in war?”
Gu Jiu laughed and said, ”Laozu Zong is really joking. Fighting is not for making money, but for what?”
Shaofu's mind is a little confused, ”of course, it is to open up territory.”
Gu Jiu Lang Sheng said, ”what is the purpose of opening up territory? Of course, it's for money! Is land money? Is population money? Are cattle and sheep money? Are underground minerals money?
Is it money to deter the countries next door with their great achievements in opening up territory, forcing them to open up trade lines, earn silver from other countries, and dump our commodities?
With money, we can raise more troops, change military equipment, and build an army armed to the teeth. With such an army, who can compete with the world?
A war without money is doomed not to last long. An army without money will be dismembered sooner or later. War is opened because of interests.
The reason why Beirong Xiliang went south three times and four times was because of its benefits. They plundered our population and plundered our people. From the standpoint of Xiliang and Beirong, are these interests gained through war
After living for several decades, Gu Jiu once again refreshed his three outlooks.
Gu Jiu once again turned into a big swindler and went to battle in person to brainwash the young master's family order.
He rubbed his eyebrows. ”You let me be quiet.”
Gu Jiu didn't go on. For this reason, it was enough.
She did not know, because she said this, the next door, private room 8, silent, needle can be heard.
Just now, Gu Jiu was a little excited and raised the volume, so that her words were passed to the next room, compartment 8.
Her story: the war, which was opened because of interests, shocked everyone in the No. 8 private room, from the emperor to the bodyguards, all of them were stunned.
Everyone looked at Liu Zhao.
Is this what Liu zhaorang Gu Jiu to say?
Gu Jiu knew that the son of heaven was sitting in the No. 8 compartment, so he said this on purpose?
What a trick!
Liu Zhao, did not expect you to be such a grandson?
Clearly, he is the scheming man!
It's treacherous.
If you can't, let the woman go to the battle, brush the sense of existence, can you point your face?
Liu Zhao: MMP, it's also the first time that I've heard about the nature of war? He was shocked too, OK? His three outlooks are also crumbling, OK?
Where did he know that Gu Jiu was not only good at collecting money, but also good at analyzing the nature of war.
In fact, Gu Jiu's remarks are still for money.
Liu Zhao lowered his head and wanted to laugh.
Because I didn't hear that, I don't know why Gu Jiu mentioned war.
However, Liu Zhao could not help laughing at the thought that she had the ability to talk about money even on such a serious topic as war.Money strings are not for nothing.
The emperor's face was serious, and he glanced at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao asked, ”grandfather, do you want to call Xiaojiu?”
The emperor waved, ”no need.”
Military affairs can't be trifled with.
Liu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the emperor would send someone to call Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu didn't know that the son of heaven was sitting in the No. 8 compartment next door. If she knew, she would not say a word.
Even if you say it, you will lower your voice, and you won't increase the volume because of excitement.
The bidding conference is coming to an end.
Some are happy, others are sad.
The task of 1.7 million taels was overfulfilled, and the difference was several thousand Liang, making up 3 million taels.
With a copy of the emperor's calligraphy, five years of authorization, in exchange for three million taels.
This ability to attract money, throughout the court, no one out of its right.
The old man of the Ministry of household, repeatedly lamented that the future is formidable.
Until then, Gu Jiu came to No. 3 private room to greet Mr. Gu and Mr. Hu.
”I've met the old man. Please say hello to my father.”
”Madame Zhao is very kind. As soon as Madame Zhao makes a move, she will have no worries about her money. I admire you very much. ”
Gu Jiu laughs. Her first impression of the old man, the Minister of the Ministry of household, is not pedantic at least.
”The old man praises falsely, but the younger generation just happens to meet.”
”Modest, too modest. This way, others can not think of, only you think of, this is your unique. Just now, I was still chatting with your father. If you have any money making business next time, let me take part in it and make some money for the coffin. ”
Gu Jiu pursed his lips with a smile, ”the old man looks up to the younger generation, which is the honor of the younger generation. If there is such an opportunity, I will inform the old man in time. ”
”Then we have a deal. Mr. Gu, I envy you. How can I have a daughter? ”
Mr. Gu felt uncomfortable and was beaten in the face. At the same time, I feel proud and happy.
Tangled!
He said solemnly to Gu Jiu: ”guard against arrogance and rashness. If you want to think about your family, it's important to import as soon as possible. ”
Gu Jiu lowered his head and turned his eyes secretly.
Gu Da talent is the king of the cold.
