Chapter 1924 There is still the treatment of a daughter-in-law?
Just as Ji Congyou and Li Yuanshu were standing at the city gate tower chatting and laughing, a figure walked up the tower in a hurry. This was Li Huai, the head of the inner court.
"The king, Mr. Yuan Shu, Director Liang of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Ministry of Security, came to report that Liu Guohai was stranded in Qufu, and it seemed that he was discussing arms business with Xiao Guang before."
The Security Department established by Ji Congyou is actually very powerful. The internal affairs department is equivalent to the Jinyiwei and Imperial City Department, supervising all officials and the Foreign Affairs Department supervising countries abroad. Of course, with the size of Lu, the Liu State Department, the Zhao State Department, the Shang State Department, etc. they set up, it is estimated that in the short term, they will only be able to investigate and spy on those foreigners in the chassis of Lu State itself.
Even so, after hearing this, Ji Congyou's eyes lit up, and even Li Huai couldn't help but smile, "This is the first director of the Foreign Affairs Department, who was discovered by the king and promoted by himself. In just two or three days, he not only noticed the existence of Liu Guoxing Shang, but even the general goal can be inferred."
Everyone is of the same clan and race. In fact, if you don’t show your own characteristics to the outside world, then it will be not difficult to speak the official words that have been passed down for thousands of years in one go, and it will be difficult to enter other countries and pretend to be the people of other countries.
A thousand miles of different sounds? Stop funny. HNA, which can run international routes, will not speak authentic and inherit the official language of the ancient Tang Dynasty?
After laughing, Li Yuanshu looked at Ji Congyou, but Ji Congyou also looked at Li Yuanshu, "Sir, this matter involves foreign wars, it mainly depends on what you mean."
Most of the Xiao family's property was naturally confiscated and confiscated. During the three-day construction period, all the property of all the gentry and wealthy families were found to be seized. Some of the dandy and evil deeds who were recognized in the past were naturally killed without mercy.
So whether to do this international business depends on Li Yuanshu's statement.
Li Yuanshu was silent for a moment before he said helplessly, "Although I also think that the East and the West should be the best peace, I can't stand it... The sea merchants, jackals, tigers and leopards are rampant. If they reject Liu State, they will help the Principality of Wentra to invade our Chinese seedlings."
"Sell it, as long as the price of Liu Guo is right, you will definitely have to trade it."
Unlike Lu State, it is backed by the Great Shang Dynasty and has a great background. It is located in Liu State, too far from Shang and Tang Dynasty, and it is not a major transportation route on the sea, so it can be called barren and barren.
A small and weak country like Liu State can survive now, relying on a steady stream of wars and war profits.
A country with a total population of more than one million has very weak blood-making ability. Regardless of agricultural and industrial conditions, Liu Guoneng still lived well for two hundred years. The main reason is that before the founding of the country... a pirate leader led his fleet to plunder Western Principalities, caravans, and even troops.
The robbed goods were sold to Lu or Zhao, etc.
Every generation of Liu's royal heirs are the wolf kings who are in charge of wolf-raising and fighting for free.
But the Principality of Ventra was also established in that way.
These two countries with a relatively close distance can be called robber groups in essence.
As soon as Li Yuanshu's words fell, Ji Congyou and Li Huai's expression gradually became subtle. The subtle posture made Li Yuanshu a little weird, "Why, what am I wrong?"
Ji Congyou smiled bitterly, "Mr. Yuanshu, what do you think of the tens of thousands of Roman descendants in our country of Shandong?"
Li Yuanshu was silent. He had never paid attention to this group before. After all, the Lu Kingdom, which has a population of five or six million, has only a hundred thousand Roman descendants, and is one of the mixed races. He has never faced this group.
Li Huai laughed strangely, "It's normal for Mr. Yuanshu to not understand. In fact, the transaction between Liu State and our country of Lu State has always been based on population as the main settlement resource."
This made Li Yuanshu stunned as soon as he said this.
Li Huai laughed again, "In our country of Lu, there are currently more than 100,000 Roman descendants, basically all women. The outstanding ones are dancers and concubines from major families, and the ordinary ones are dioramas held by the powerful in brothels."
This is how nearly 10% of the mixed races come from.
Liu Guo bought food, supplies, knives, guns, armor, big ships and giant cannons from Lu Guo, all of which were used as settlement resources for white women.
Male? Stop being funny. Liu Guoke is reluctant to leave those big animals. If you train them, throw them into the mine to start a mine. Unlike the three major islands in Lu, where almost all the plains are geographical environments, the Liu Guozhong Islands are mountainous and the mineral production is extremely abundant.
How to reclaim those mineral veins? Naturally, they plundered Roman descendants and then enslaved them after being tamed.
As Li Huai spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, "It is rumored that the second son of the Xiao family had a fairy white woman in his house. He bought it back at the cost of a thousand-ton ship."
"Although they will also conduct mineral transactions with our country of Lu, the iron ore and copper ore dug by Liu State will be transformed into armor, swords, guns, artillery, etc., and will continue to exchange for the white girl."
"So, when our country of Lu traded with Liu, the only people in his hands were in the end..."
Li Yuanshu was disappointed when he heard about the small collapse, and he actually knew that there were a few people who had taken this business among the gentry. But he really didn't expect that Liu State would actually conduct such trade with the national scale.
White girl and other things are not unusual. Xue Chengfu has had it before. I heard that there were a few singers who took exotic routes in a brothel in the past. They were quite popular, but he could not have imagined that this is the content of international trade!
So should I agree or not? Don’t I agree? If Liu Guo loses the material support here, wouldn’t he be beaten by the bandit group of Ventera? The victims of Liu Guo’s Chinese descendants are still killed and injured.
I agree? This is against his true intentions.
After sighing helplessly, Li Yuanshu said with a green face, "Let's leave these things to the king."
Ji Congyou was also a little annoyed, but he still signaled to Li Huai, "Continue to trade. There are still many strong men in Lu, who are alone and widowed. This time the transaction will be given priority to the soldiers of the Ministry of War."
Li Yuanshu was so excited that he heard it again. Is this a wife for those big-headed soldiers? I have to say that at present, the ratio of men and women in Lu is not unbalanced, and the total number of adult men and women is basically not much different. Even so, there are still countless men from the bottom who cannot afford to marry their wives.
In the aristocratic family, it is normal for a young master to occupy dozens of women's resources. Not to mention wives and concubines, there are countless maids and other maids. In addition, many aristocratic families run brothels of varying sizes, where do the women inside come from?
In this case, where can the lower-class civilian men find a partner?
