Chapter 235: The 2nd Prisoner Auction

After washing away all the sand and gravel, no gold is left, but the bright moon shines on people's hearts.

Li Xiaosong returned from Gaochang with the logistics troops. This time, nearly 3 prisoners from Gaochang were captured. With the experience from the last time, everyone handled the situation more quickly and systematically.

It’s still the familiar big playground.

However, the number of captives this time was too large, so the auction could only be divided into three rounds.

Li Yin did not come this time, and the elders of the major families did not come either.

This small incident was not enough to call for them to set off, so sending a steward from the family would be enough.

But merchants from small workshops still come in person.

Boss Liao came early today. Last year he bought a captive for 1500 strings of cash, which he thought was a lot and he could not even use it all.

But who would have thought that the amount of sugarcane planted in the south increased this year, and his small sugar factory actually expanded three or four times.

Now there are about 200 people working in two shifts, but they can never finish the work. He is so anxious that bubbles appear on the corners of his mouth, and he still has to comfort the fragile hearts of the prisoners.

"People are getting richer and richer, and they are willing to buy some candies for their children." Boss Liao was very emotional, his face full of excitement.

The newspaper said that Nuzhuang would develop more advanced sugarcane planting technology, so that the raw materials would be cheaper and their cost of making sugar would also be lower.

This is not a bad thing. The raw materials are expensive, so fewer people will buy them.

Although the factory can make a lot of money from one order, if there are few buyers, it will not make any money.

As raw materials are cheap, the number of people buying them will increase exponentially. Although the profit from each order will not be as much as before, the number of buyers will increase several times.

"Old Liao!"

Not far away, Chen Xingyan ran towards Boss Liao and asked, "Are you here to buy labor too?"

"Shopkeeper Chen."

Lao Liao bowed to the other party and then began to wonder: "We who run the workshop must buy it, but you who run the inn also...?"

He thought that only those who ran a workshop like his would be short of manpower.

"Of course!"

Chen Xingyan continued, "Since the advertisement was placed during the sports meet, our Tongfu Inn has become completely famous."

"Any outsider who comes to Lantian County must first ask where Tongfu Inn is."

"Oh, I'm so busy!"

As he spoke, Chen Xingyan slapped his thigh excitedly.

At that time, Tongfu Inn was still small, and in order to ensure the quality of service, Chen Xingyan turned away many guests.

After he became rich, he immediately opened a branch in the most prosperous area of ​​Lantian County.

In addition to Lantian County, after more than half a year of development, he has opened inns in Xinfeng, Xianyang and Jingyang.

Accommodation, food and drinks are all included, and there are waiters, water boilers, cooks, cleaners, and excrement takers...

This will require quite a few people!

Besides, the labor force around Chang'an is not cheap, with each person earning nearly two strings of coins per month.

It would be better to buy a cheap slave.

The two walked together and soon sat in their respective seats.

All the high-ranking officials and nobles among the captives were taken away by Nuzhuang, and the only ones left here were soldiers.

The ceremony was presided over by the same gray-haired official from the Ministry of Revenue and the general from the Ministry of War who looked like Xiong Er.

"Look, old man, the second session is about to arrive!" the general said to the old man beside him in a muffled voice, looking very proud.

The official from the Ministry of Revenue pushed up the frame of his glasses and said, "You didn't catch him."

The general was hit by an arrow in the knee and looked pale.

He looked around to make sure there were no ears, then leaned in close to the old man and whispered, "That old monkey is lucky to have this chance to win without doing anything."

"Just wait and see, I will definitely be involved in the third session."

As he spoke, the general's eyes moved to the old man's face: "Let me try on your gold-rimmed glasses."

"No."

The old man immediately refused: "This is not suitable for you."

"Forget about not letting me wear it. What do you mean by whether it fits or not? You don't have any lenses..."

The man muttered, "When I get back, I'll get a frame to wear."

The old man glanced at his bearded black face and remained silent.

Soon, the scene became quiet.

He walked to the auction table: "The Second Prisoner Auction of the Tang Dynasty..."

"Start now!"

……

The latest wheat seedlings cultivated have grown to half a foot tall, and there has also been new progress in the cultivation of cotton seeds. Unfortunately, the good season for planting cotton has passed.

The second generation of pigs has been fertilized.

Although black pigs are delicious, they have a long growth cycle, consume a lot of feed, but produce little meat.

The people are short of oil and water, how can they wait for this kind of black pig?

"My brother said that he has sent people to the west to look for the white-skinned red pig and the spotted cow. I hope they can find them soon."

She really wants the people to gain weight, because eating well will make them smarter.

Now that ordinary people are smarter, will scientific research still be difficult?

"We have to raise everyone to be tall and strong, both boys and girls have to be tall and strong, so that they can be healthy."

"System, how tall can I grow?"

[Depending on the host family genes, it can grow to about 158 ​​cm]

[Your grandfather is 165, your grandmother is 153, your father is 169, your mother is 156]

"..."

"System, you really can't upgrade? I think I should grow to 185cm."

【. 】

"System, please upgrade!"

"I beg you!"

"This is the first time in my life that I'm asking for help from someone!"

【? 】

[What about when you were a kid and begged to be the big sister? ]

"That doesn't count!"

【. . . 】

[I want to go back to the time when you worshipped the Big Sister and tell you the Big Sister]

"!!!"

Li Yin showed a look of horror: "Actually, it's good not to upgrade. 158cm is pretty good."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Li Yin felt panicked.

After a moment, she spoke carefully: "If I adjust the girl's diet from now on, can she grow tall and strong?"

In the past, men were responsible for hunting, which consumed a lot of physical energy, so they always ate meat.

When the tribe does not have enough food, the main hunters will be fed first, and the remaining food will be distributed to the women.

Over time, women's physical conditions gradually became weaker than men's.

It wasn't always like this.

Even the habit of women preferring vegetarianism was formed at that time.

【Can reduce the gap】

"Oh hoo~"

“That way there will be more labor!”

After that, Li Yin asked carefully: "System, will I still be a big sister a thousand years later?"

[…Yes, you also have a brother-in-law’s head]

"Wonderful!"

"My husband and I protect me, who dares to mess with me?"

【. 】

……

royal palace.

A year later, Murong Shun was summoned into the palace again.

He sat tremblingly in the first seat at the bottom. At the top was Li Shimin, opposite him were several civil officials of the court, and beside him were several military generals.

What is this for?

He thought carefully about what he had done recently.

The eldest boy hadn't finished his homework, so the teacher asked his parents to come over. He felt embarrassed and asked the maid he hired to go instead.

So much so that the Master was particularly angry and visited the family directly...

But, he was severely scolded by the teacher that day and became like a dog!

Hey!

And the day before yesterday.

The lady submitted an article titled "My Boring Life" to Linglong, but it was seriously rejected.

She was so angry that she bought eleven copies of Linglong, kept one to read, and burned ten copies in front of the newspaper office. Then she was arrested by the yamen runners...

The reason is--

This practice curses the imperial court and destroys street harmony.
