164 Slave trade

It is the Changshi Mansion of Gancheng, which was rebuilt from the original Protectorate. It is divided into three courtyards, front, middle, back, and three courtyards. It is all built on a high platform. It is a city with strong defense and complete functions. In other words, it is the city of Gancheng consists of four levels, outside, middle, inside, heart, and the four levels.

Liu Bei could naturally understand Ban Dingyuan's painstaking efforts.

For the Han army guarding the Western Regions alone, we built a stable and solid city. In this way, no matter whether the wind and sand cover the sun or the green grass is like green, the sun is as hot as fire, or the bones are extremely cold. Just enter the city, and after three mouthfuls of wine, the whole body is suddenly warm. When you fall down, you will fall asleep, and it will be sunny when you wake up.

A city with thick and thick everywhere is the strongest shield. It can provide the strongest protection for the wandering men who are thousands of miles away.

Atrium, main building.

Liu Bei walked into the dormitory on the second floor and saw Murong Yan taking a nap.

Then he walked closer.

Sister Yan'er's eyebrows were slightly frowning and her eyes were closed. Her long loose hair reflected a bunch of warm afternoon sun falling from the window, just like a firefly flying fire. She was so beautiful that she could not stop.

Smelling Liu Bei's familiar breath, he opened his eyes slightly.

Just as he was about to get up, Liu Bei had already sat down gently on the edge of the bed: "Madam, don't move."

"Husband." Murong Yan smiled.

There are as many as fifty countries in the Western Regions.

These days, Liu Bei has been busy sorting out political affairs in various countries. In addition, seeing heavy snow coming, the countries in the Western Regions are firmly walled and clearing the fields, but there are still no traces of the Qifu tribe Xianbei. Liu Bei is dedicated to it, so he cannot detect the abnormality of the seven young ladies.

"Can you let the good doctor in the mansion see it?" Liu Bei asked softly.

"Never." A hint of shyness flashed in Sister Yan'er's eyes, worried about gains and losses. It was because she was too eager to be in her heart. She was worried that she would be happy.

How could Liu Bei not know? He raised the volume slightly: "Come."

"I am here." The front hall was protected by the embroidered wardrobe officer, while the atrium was managed by the An sisters. The seven young ladies selected extraterritorial maids are still intensifying training of Han etiquette and correcting their accents. They are still useless now. The Changshi uses the emperor in the Western Regions on behalf of the emperor. The Changshi's mansion is like the Han court. Every move is noticed by everyone. The internal and external use needs to be a model. There is no sloppy at all.

"So quickly pass on the doctor."

"Here." An Ruoshui, who was on duty today, received his order and left.

After a moment, he served as a doctor in the mansion in the east building of the front yard, so he came to treat Murong Yan. The doctor was also a military doctor. Several of the best medical skills took turns to serve in the military camp and the Chief Mansion.

This is also the person who diagnosed Qin Dai with joy.

"Congratulations to the lord, Mrs. Yan is also pregnant." The doctor bowed to the ground and saluted.

"Haha!" Liu Bei laughed at first, then hurriedly stopped, for fear of disturbing Sister Yan'er. After asking the doctor, Dr. Hua had already sent a prescription for the pregnancy. Sister Dai'er had been taking it and gradually became pregnant. This made the doctor also decoct for Sister Yan'er.

"Sisters are afraid that they will be pregnant soon." Confirmed that they were pregnant, Sister Yan'er was very calm. Then she laughed softly and said, "Everything in the mansion needs to be taken care of. Sister An is also proficient in Chinese and Wu language, which is very useful."

"Okay." Liu Bei nodded with a smile.

When she heard that Sister Yan'er was pregnant, the ladies came to congratulate her. Even Sister Dai'er, who was pregnant, was supported by An Ruosu and rushed from the inner room to celebrate.

The family laughed and said happily. Even though they were far away in the Western Regions, they were far away, but they were not far away even if they were far away.

After talking to Sister Yan'er, Shi Huan informed the corridor that there was a matter of farming outside the city, which required Liu Bei's decision.

Recently, everything has been complicated and I have no good craftsman in the village. Many things need to be done by Liu Bei, so I can't have a moment of free time. So I got up and left.

Although the two brothers lived in the backyard, most of them stayed in the army and trained their subordinates to Hu Ben. Guan Yu and their husbands were all enemies of thousands of people. At that time, everyone valued heroes and did not distinguish between Han and Hu. The Xianbei warriors of Tuoba's other troops had already been convinced and were willing to be the guide. Liu Bei ordered people to inform him, and the two brothers came to the palace to greet him.

Before farming, build a canal.

Then, the channels were used to divide the fertile fields. If the terrain was different and the water flow was not over, a overturned truck was needed to draw water. The water towers in the city were also raised one after another, and the washing tools were gradually loved by residents. The blacksmith shops in the city worked day and night to forge many iron tools. Even the soldiers in the camp went out to dig the canal in order to complete the work before the ice was frozen.

In order to prevent wind and sand, trees and forests are also needed.

These have been planned long ago, and there is no need to be anxious.

More than 5,000 households have fallen in the city, including 2,000 Han people. There are 3,000 Xianbei people in Tuoba. There are 30,000 people. The head of the city was appointed by Zhang Meng. Half a month ago, his father Zhang Huan had passed away for a long time. At the age of 78, he left his orders to be buried in plain clothes. He also left his orders to Zhang Meng, saying that state affairs are the most important and there is no need to go to the official to be filial.

People at that time valued filial piety. Although the Han Dynasty did not force the mourning for three years, it was normal to leave the official and stay in filial piety for three years.

However, my father's order cannot be violated.

Liu Bei wrote a handwritten letter from Zhang Duliao, and reported it to the court for Zhang Meng. He also led his civil and military officials to worship Zhang Duliao from afar. He asked Zhang Meng to stay in office.

Seeing Zhang Meng lying on the ground and crying, Liu Bei sighed.

Sanming, Liangzhou, finally became history.

The lights are on.

He kept running around the mountains and rivers. The Kushan King envoy who had just arrived three days ago took a shower and changed his clothes and went to the Changshi Mansion for a dinner.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also here to accompany you.

After Luoyang parted, it was almost a year long. When they met again, Guan and Zhang became famous all over the world. They also had a lot of feelings when witnessing the Kushan envoy who recognized the master of the Ma City.

I was moved by the meaning of selling horses, and Guan Yu also respected it during the meal.

After three rounds of wine, the Kushan King sent a glass to ask: "I saw that there was a high platform in front of the palace, and the surroundings were filled with heads. But somehow?"

Liu Bei smiled and replied: "It's to redeem his wife."

"Oh?" The Kushan King envoy said, "What is the purpose of redeeming a wife?"

Li Ru, the chief clerk who was accompanying, explained everything in detail for Liu Bei.

"So that's it." The Kushan King envoy then explained his purpose: "I will not hide it from the chief minister. There are many female slaves in the country. I wonder if they can be transported to sell?"

As expected, Liu Bei smiled and said, "There are only female slaves in your country?"

"Of course, both young and old." The Kushan King sent a smile.

"Why not bring your family to sell it?" Liu Bei smiled again.

"Oh?" The Kushan King sent a heart moved: "Is it because the Changshi has something else to use?"

Liu Bei nodded gently: "The countries in the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated. If you want to do a farm and defend yourself, you will have no few people. If you can sell your family, it will be useful."

"I wonder how much the chief minister needs?" The Kushan King Envoy asked hurriedly.

"First ten thousand households." Liu Bei replied.

"If you count as young or old, you will be ten people in one family."

“Yes.”

"I don't know how much the chief minister's value is?" The Kushan King Envoy asked again.

"Why don't you offer a price first?" Liu Bei smiled.

"Well..." After careful consideration, the Kushan King tried to speak: "How about ten coins per household?"

The "ten coins" mentioned by the Kushan King envoy refers to Kushan gold coins.

Located in Rome and the Han Dynasty, Kushan won a large amount of gold from the Roman Empire through the Silk Road trade. Historical records show that the Roman Empire paid 50 million gold coins to the Kushan Kingdom in foreign trade every year, while the amount of 100 million gold coins flowed into China.

In other words, since the Han Dynasty, there has been a huge surplus in foreign trade.

One liang of Han is twenty-four zhu. The Kushan gold coins weigh about twelve zhu. Two gold coins are combined with one liang of gold. In terms of one household and ten people, it is five liang of gold. Ten thousand households total 50,000 households.

By the way, "The Huns' clothes and Hu" plundered ten thousand households and Dongqiang, and there was also a population of 100,000, which was worth 100,000 yuan. It was converted into horse hoof gold, only 10,000 yuan. One 16 taels, a total of 16,000 taels.

It is noted that the Kushan envoy reported was the selling price after it was transported to the city.

The freight on the road and the losses were included. According to the Kushan envoy, one-fifth of the slaves were transported from Kushan to the Western Regions, and one-fifth of the deaths, or even more, on the road. In addition, the travel expenses were also very much.

This is indeed not expensive.

Liu Bei was unwilling to lower the price. But there was only one condition: different races and different beliefs.

You should not bring all the tribes or people from a small country to the fore.

The Kushan King agreed happily.
