There were several women walking outside, who were not young anymore, and looking at their clothes, they should be Han people. I saw these women carrying things in their hands, and there were several male servants carrying several large ones behind them.

The food box walked to a yard not far away and opened the door, asked the male servant to put the things at the door, and then let them leave.

One of the male servants seemed to be very interested in the things in the yard. They looked at the situation in the yard, but unexpectedly, they were beaten by an old woman, then laughed and scolded a few times.

The male servant was not angry, and he laughed and jokingly made a few talks with the old woman, but he didn't dare to look into the yard anymore and left quickly.

Seeing this, Li Yan asked strangely: "Xiao Lin, why do you still have women here?"

Looking at the old women's outfits, they are not like the families of officials, and the conditions here are so difficult, I'm afraid no one will bring their families to suffer. But if it weren't for family members, how could these old women be

In an official department like the Slaves, it seems that it is very familiar with this place.

Xiao Lin also saw the women outside and heard Li Yan’s question and laughed: “Your Highness, these women are also considered to be people from the slave department. After all, female slaves also account for a considerable part of the slave transaction.

If men were asked to do the daily management of these female slaves, there would inevitably be some problems, so some women were recruited to be responsible for the daily management of female slaves."

Li Yan nodded after hearing this. In the past, slave trading was dominated by male slaves, but with the rise of light labor industries such as textile industry and food processing industry, female slaves are becoming more and more popular, and female slaves are no longer limited.

Whether it is a beautiful female slave, no matter which country it is from, there are people who are willing to buy it back and work. Of course, besides these, beautiful female slaves in foreign countries are also more popular. After all, experiencing the exotic style is most of the men

It seems that it is an unstoppable and elegant thing.

However, at this time, Xiao Lin remembered something and pointed to the yard where the women entered and said, "Your Highness, the people living in this yard are not ordinary female slaves, but the ones with good looks selected from the Japanese girls.

They stay here with good food and drink. After they have good complexion, they can sell for a good price. The previous Miss Feng Shuyu must have lived in this yard."

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Li Yan became a little interested in the yard not far away. However, thinking that several male servants were stopped just now, it seemed that men were forbidden to enter. This was normal. After all, these female slaves were all

It is used to sell for a large price. If you are dirty, it will be worthless.

Seeing Li Yan's face showing an interesting look, Xiao Lin also showed a look of understanding between a man. Then he smiled and said, "Your Highness, these Japanese women are petite, with extremely gentle personalities, and are extremely popular in the Tang Dynasty.

Welcome. So why not go in and have a look. If you like it, it would be nice to take a few back to warm the bed!"

Although Xiao Lin is Wen Xin's cousin, as an aristocratic man, Xiao Lin's thoughts are similar to those of others. In their opinion, it is an unusual thing for men to take concubines. What's more, these Japanese women are

If you buy a slave, you just treat it as a slave to sleep with you. You can't even be a concubine, so you don't have to worry about anything.

Li Yan also knew this, but he had a good relationship with Wen Xin and Xijun, and the various ideas brought by his previous life had already penetrated into the bones, and it was not so easy to change. Therefore, when it comes to men and women, he

I have always been very cautious. If it is not necessary, I will generally not leave any romantic debts.

It was precisely for the above reasons that Li Yan rejected Xiao Lin's kindness and talked with Xiao Lin about the construction of Qinu Port. Although these things are not within Xiao Lin's position, he was after all.

I have been here for a while and I have my own opinions on some things, and with Xiao Lin's identity, his words are even more credible.

Through Xiao Lin, Li Yan gained more knowledge about the construction of Nu Port from the side, and did not find any major problems. By the autumn of the next year, the first phase of the entire port should be almost done.

At that time, Nu Port will be officially put into use. The reason why he attaches great importance to Nu Port is mainly because he likes the location here. With this port, he can directly face the wider Pacific Ocean, and this is also the first in the Central Plains continent.

A key link in the island chain, as long as you protect this place, you don’t have to worry about being attacked by the ocean in the direction of the mainland.

Now Nugang is just a messy construction site. After staying here for a few days, Li Yan was ready to return to Siqi. After all, the war in Japan has ended. Let’s see the two lines of Ishikami and Su Mu.

The dog, and Wang An himself, would probably not take long to take his own rule over Japan.

The King of Qi had sent Wu Meiniang and Wen'er back to Siqi, and then passed through the Fenghou waterway between Zhuzi Island and Yiyu Island into the Pacific Ocean. Then he went north along the land of Japan and soon arrived at Nu Port, just let

Li Yan was a little surprised that Gao Chong, the chief executive of his royal palace, actually came with the ship.

After Gao Chong got off the boat and saw Li Yan, he was so busy that he was not seen for several days. Gao Chong was one of the people he trusted the most, so he was lazy to ask, just sorting out the things he collected in Japan and preparing to take them back.

Giving gifts to others, especially Caier and Empress Xiao, and Princess Nanyang still live in Siqi City, so their gifts must not be careless.

A few days later, everything was ready. Li Yan took the guards to board the King of Qi. However, when boarding the ship, Li Yan was a little surprised to find that Gao Chong actually led a team of dozens of people to be beautiful.

The woman got on the boat, which made him very surprised. He immediately called Gao Chong and asked him what was going on?

Gao Chong knew that Li Yan would ask about this, so when he saw Li Yan, he immediately spoke: "Report to Your Highness, a group of letters came from Chang'an a few young men from the Hejian Palace and the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Mr. Li, Mr. Qin of Mr. Hu, and others, they all knew that His Highness had captured Japan, so they came to trust you to bring them a few Japanese girls back. However, His Highness was in Japan at that time, so the letter was delivered to the old slave.

And this is not a big deal, so the old slave took the initiative and followed the boat to pick some beauties back."

When Li Yan heard this, he slapped his head and thought to himself that Li Yong and Li Yexu were really rude. He wanted a beautiful woman when he spoke, but it would be fine for others. Unexpectedly, a guy like Qin Huaiyu with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also good.

This mouthful was really unexpected. But then Li Yan thought that when he saw Xiao Lin before, the other party asked him to choose a few Japanese girls to go back, but he refused. But now he is so proud that he will pick them all at once.

With so many Japanese girls, if Xiao Lin knew about this, he would still not know what he would think of his brother-in-law?

"So that's it. Since it's a gift, you can do it by Gao Chong. These Japanese girls need to be taken care of. Assign a few more people to take care of them, so don't have any accidents." Li Yan smiled wryly and asked Gao Chong to ask him with a wry smile.

Since the person has sold it, just misunderstand it. Anyway, he is not interested in these Japanese girls, but these are just bought for money after all, and it is not easy to find Japanese girls that can attract high-ranking attention, so naturally he has to

Pay attention to it.

Gao Chong immediately said yes, and then Li Yan waved his hand to let him go down and be busy. After all, their fleet was about to leave the port, so naturally there were many things to be busy. Gao Chong, as the chief manager of the royal palace, could not do without him many things.

In addition to his King of Qi and several guards, Li Yan's fleet was also followed by several fleets. They were all slave merchants who were leaving the port. He heard that Li Yan was leaving, so of course

We have to walk with you, and the fleet of smiling tigers and one-eyed sharks is also among them.

Those who go to sea for the first time may be shocked by the magnificence and vastness of the sea, but after getting used to it, they will feel very bored. Li Yan has already gone to sea a lot, and he has long been tired of the scenery on the sea, so he is stunned.

It was very boring on the boat, and there was no caring person like Wen'er around me, so I couldn't help but find someone to talk to him. Although Gao Chong was trusted by him, he, the chief manager of the royal palace, was very busy and stopped after getting on the boat.

It won't come down, so Li Yan doesn't bother him either.

In desperation, Li Yan simply called the smiling tiger and the one-eyed shark on another boat. While drinking, the three of them listened to some interesting stories they encountered when catching slaves. At the beginning, the tiger shark and the two were still a little relieved.

After all, their identities are too different from Li Yan, and their business is even dependent on Li Yan. The two are equivalent to subordinates of the Qi Prince's Mansion. Now they have to sit with Li Yan and drink, which naturally makes them feel uncomfortable.

However, Li Yan didn't care about these things. He pulled them over and poured them a drink. As a result, after a few glasses of strong wine, the tiger sharks slowly let go and told them about their experience of catching slaves over the years.

Although most of them are bloody and cruel, they are also passionate, which is considered an excellent story theme.

Speaking of the slave hunting industry in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yan occupies an important position. Even the Qi Palace has a special slave hunting team, and there are many slave hunting teams like Tiger Shark that he secretly supports. It can be said that

Nearly half of the slave transactions in the Tang Dynasty had direct and indirect relationships with him. It can be said that he was the biggest mastermind behind the Tang Dynasty's slave industry.

However, although Li Yan was deeply involved in the slave capture industry, as he was, he had never personally participated in slave capture. At most, he had only seen the transaction between prisoners of war and merchants captured by the army. The tiger shark's words

Those topics related to slave hunting aroused his great interest, and even proposed to go to the Tiger Shark and their ship to transport slaves to take a look.

Hearing Li Yan's request, Tiger Sharks and the others looked at each other in embarrassment, and then they said, "Your Highness, you are a daughter. The ships transporting slaves are usually dirty and messy, if they are dirty.

After your eyes, we brothers will be responsible for their deaths!"

"Haha~, what's this? I haven't seen any scenes before when I was on the battlefield. Are you still afraid of being dirty and messy? Just arrange it!" Li Yan was in a state of interest, and no one could stop him, but he didn't expect it.
