Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1836 Selling children and daughters to make a fortune

Su Woming's excited and yearning eyes stared at Fang Jun obsessively...

Who is this person in front of me?

According to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty who traveled to and from Japan, Fang Jun was known as the "God of Wealth" in the Tang Dynasty. Turning stones into gold is really commonplace. Even the most common clay can be fired by him to produce the most beautiful porcelain in the world. , Family wineries and iron factories spread all over the Tang Dynasty, and millions of fortunes were seized every year.

Not to mention that there are saltworks along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, which bring a huge amount of money to the emperor of Tang Dynasty and the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River every year...

Such a great god made of gold is in front of him, why don't he ask for advice?
If I can get one or two pointers, wouldn't I be rich...

Fang Jun took a bite of food, looked at Su Womingtai with a smile, and asked, "Want to get rich?"

Soga Myita nodded, like a chicken eating rice.

Fang Jun thought for a while, and ordered the orderly standing beside him: "Go and invite Mr. Jin."

"Here!"

The orderly left quickly, and a moment later, Jin Famin came from Tianwang Temple, which was just across the wall. When he saw Fang Jun entertaining Mrs. Su Wo Mingtai, he saluted, "I don't know why the Marquis summoned you?"

Although Fang Jun did not shy away from him in many matters, Jin Famin was quite winsome, and he would never take the initiative to come forward to negotiate with the Japanese, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Fang Jun waved and said casually, "Why be polite? Sit down and drink together."

"Here."

Jin Famin was still a little cautious in front of Fang Jun. This son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty was not only tough, but also extremely courageous. He dared to mobilize the civil strife in Japan without the consent of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and even brazenly sent troops to join the war. It can be seen how powerful he is in Chang'an He was highly favored by the emperor.

After he sat down, the three of them drank a few cups. Seeing Su Woming's anxious eyes, Fang Jun put down the bamboo chopsticks and asked, "Brother Su is the eldest son of the Su family. In a few days, he will be the crown prince." , the power is very heavy, presumably there are many soldiers under his command, right?"

Su Woming was too confused, so he said, "It's okay, it's okay, there are only 500 soldiers and dead soldiers in total, and if there are too many, we can't afford it."

Such wealthy Japanese families as the Su'er family had many slaves, and their descendants all had fiefdoms, and they could have extra money and food income every year to support the dead soldiers, and the Rongwei family was fiefdom.Once a war occurs, these soldiers and dead soldiers will be dispatched by the family in a unified way. After the war is over, they will return to their descendants.

Su Er Mingtai can be regarded as a direct descendant of the Su Er family, but he is the son of Su Ermo Lishi, not the heir of the Su Er Ezo branch, so he has less land, and there are naturally fewer soldiers and dead soldiers who can support him.

Fang Jun said: "Less is less, but it is enough."

Jin Famin didn't understand Fang Jun's meaning, but he hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he refrained from asking. Mrs. Su Woming had already asked: "I would like to ask Lord Hou to show me a way to get rich. You ask me how many soldiers I have to do? Then But there are too many things that eat money, and I can’t afford it!”

Fang Jun picked up the wine glass, took a small sip, pointed at Su Wo Mingtai and said, "Why don't you beg for food with a golden rice bowl, do you know what is the most profitable business nowadays?"

Su Wo Mingtai said: "I know, glass, tea, and wine making are the most profitable businesses. The money of the Japanese country was exchanged by the people of Tang for these things."

He looked at Fang Jun, his eyes were full of little stars.

These profitable businesses are all inextricably linked with Fang Jun. The former rose through his hands, and the crystal clear glass is popular all over the world, and its price is comparable to gold.As for the latter two, Fang Jun is directly the largest producer...

How rich do you think this person is?

Anyway, Su Wo Mingtai admired Fang Junna very much.

Fang Jun shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the most profitable business in the world has never been the one with costs. Seeking profit without capital is the highest state."

Su Womingtai said he didn't understand: "I also ask Lord Hou to enlighten me."

Fang Jun said: "It's easy to say, let's put it this way, do you know what the king of Linyi Kingdom, Zhugedi, is doing recently?"

"How did I know this?"

"That fellow does nothing all day long, but directs the army to suppress the rebellion."

"...Is this what it should be? I have heard that there was a civil strife in Linyi, and all the royal families of the Fan family were slaughtered. The son-in-law of the Fan family, Zhugedi, became the new king. The foundation will inevitably be unstable, and the rebels in the country are rampant. If they cannot be put down one by one, His position as the king is not secure."

Suga Mingtai still doesn't know what's going on.

Relatively speaking, their Suwo clan and Zhugedi's path are basically the same. They both commit crimes from the lower ranks and seek to usurp the throne. If the feudal states that support the emperor are not eliminated one by one, how can the Suga clan sit in the world with peace of mind?

But Fang Jun smiled, and said in a low voice: "Brother Su only knows one thing, not the other. Do you think that Zhuge is so keen on suppressing the rebellion, just to secure the throne? Big mistake! He The rebels were arrested all over the world, and after they were caught, they were not punished on the spot, but they were all shipped to the Tang Dynasty."

Jin Famin on the side was dumbfounded: "Sell someone?"

The majestic king of a country actually sold the captured rebels for money...

Do you still want the supreme majesty?

Su Womingtai and Jin Famin obviously have different concerns. He asked curiously: "Does the Tang Dynasty need many slaves? How much can one person sell?"

Jin Famin knew that this person had no bottom line at all.

Fang Jun said: "Why don't you need it? It's really needed! Let me give you a brief introduction. Although the Tang court has not yet announced it, it has been basically confirmed that it will vigorously develop infrastructure construction and repair every city in the country. Maintaining the official roads leading from Chang'an to all states in the world, as well as several official roads that are about to be built and opened in order to control Bashu, Lingnan and other places, require a lot of manpower. It is obviously not enough to rely solely on the population of Datang. We can't conscript all the people to build roads and let the fields go barren, right? Especially in Bashu and Lingnan areas, the terrain is steep and the roads are difficult to walk. There are countless casualties during road construction. Naturally, the people of Tang Dynasty can't be allowed to die in vain. It leads to the instability of the country. Therefore, this requires a huge number of slaves..."

Su Wo Mingtai's eyes are bright: "How much do you need?"

Fang Jun said: "Of course it is as many as there are, but the imperial court will not directly buy slaves, but will delegate the right to build roads to powerful families and merchants. As long as there are slaves, no matter how many slaves they can buy. "

"What is the price?"

"Then it depends on the quality of the slave. A strong man is worth about ten guan, and a man with less physical strength can vary from three to five to seven." At this point, Fang Jun glanced at Jin Famin, and said again: " If a young and beautiful lady is bought by a wealthy family as a maidservant, it is possible to have [-] or [-] guan. If the body is soft and gentle, it is also possible to have [-] or [-] guan. The most popular in Tang Dynasty is the Silla maid, the young and beautiful For a virgin, if you meet a son of a family who spends a lot of money, the price will be three to five hundred."

Kunlun slaves and Silla maidservants, these are the most sought after items in the upper class of Tang aristocrats. They almost become the existence of status as luxury goods in later generations. There are no Kunlun slaves to lead horses and stirrups when they go out, and there are no Silla maidservants when they go home. Warming the bed and serving the bed will be ridiculed!

Kunlun means "black" in the Tang Dynasty, and of course it does not refer to the suffering African brothers, but the "black-skinned" aborigines in Southeast Asia.

As for the Silla maidservants...everyone knows.

Or how do you say that countless people in later generations look up to and recall the Great Tang Dynasty, wishing they could be "born as Tang people"?The stick girl who was crazily sought after by those brainless fans in later generations was like a plaything in Datang. As long as you save a few dollars, you can go to Dongxi two cities to find Renyazi to buy one and play with it anytime, anywhere. no problem.

Slaves have no human rights, you can play however you want...

Mentioning the "Silla Maid", Jin Famin was a little embarrassed, but there was not much difference.

Among the "Three Koreas", Goguryeo is the most powerful. Baekje has always been a fake tiger, and its national strength is not weak. If Silla's national strength is weak and bullied, the population of the country has been repeatedly robbed, and those who were taken away by Goguryeo and Baekje Silla men who are no different from livestock, but sold to Datang's "Silla maidservants" are enjoying the blessings...

"Gudong"

There was a clear sound of swallowing and spitting in Suga Mingtai's throat, and the guy blushed with excitement, and shouted: "As long as we defeat the Ainu people, I will lead the army to Silla and snatch women!"

"boom!"

Jin Famin blushed with anger, and said angrily, "Please be careful with your words! Do you think Silla is bullied?"

Su Woming was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He was over excited, and only money was left in his mind, and he forgot that there was a Silla here...

Fang Jun is also a little upset, this man is a second-hander!

"Silla and Datang are allies, and Young Master Jin and this official are even more friends. You can't say such things in the future, and it is absolutely impossible to attack Silla, otherwise Datang will never sit idly by!"

Su Woming said too hastily: "Slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue for a while, don't blame Mr. Jin... Let's not go to Silla to snatch women, just lead the soldiers under your command to destroy those disobedient feudal states. There will be plenty of people at that time, so how can it be worth it? Go across the sea to Silla to grab it, right?"

There are countless feudal kingdoms big and small in the Wa Kingdom, not to mention the bigger ones, and the smaller ones with tens of miles of land and a population of three to five thousand. I led the elite soldiers to push them across, and wiped out one in a day!Anyway, these people are "rebels" who support the emperor. Selling them to Datang can not only exchange money, but also make many opponents less on the land of Wa.

It's killing two birds with one stone!

Even after the turmoil in Asuka capital this time, even the interior of Su Wo's house had to be cleaned up. Instead of killing it for nothing, it's better to sell it for money...

It was as if a shining golden road appeared in front of Mingtai Suga, everything within reach was gold.

Looking at Su Woming's excited face, Fang Jun smiled slightly.

How do you say that?

Only when one's own people start fighting against one's own people, is it really ruthless!

This Su Wo Mingtai is both greedy for money and power, and given time, he can be trained into a qualified "Japanese traitor"...
