Of course, Wang Shun noticed the whispers between Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

However, it doesn't matter.

He just looked back slightly and took the two of them forward, traveling through the garden and through the corridor. He could see all kinds of servants everywhere, and slaves were moving inside and outside the yard.

Either clean, build branches, or scrub the corridor.

Wang Shun straightened his back and was extremely proud.

Showing one's slaves to others is also an important project for the Han people to show off their wealth.

The number of slaves largely means the amount of wealth of this person.

The types of slaves mean the person's taste in life.

Which family of Gonghou in Chang'an does not support hundreds of Handan singers?

But unfortunately, his behavior this time was like throwing his charming eyes to the blind man.

Liu Jin felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the slaves.

He has realized the dangers of slavery throughout the journey.

So, he felt very uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Zhang Yue looked at the slaves of the Wang family carefully.

He found that many of them were Hu people.

To be precise, it should be the Huns.

Since Yuanguang, with the victory of the Han army and the defeat of the Huns, the Han Dynasty ushered in a peak in the introduction of foreign slaves.

On the battlefield alone, the Han army captured about one million surrendered Huns.

For example, the current important national minister, the son-in-law, Jin Riyi, is a prisoner and a slave.

It was only later that the emperor valued and promoted him that he had today's status.

There has never been a riot since millions of Hun prisoners of war were taken into the Han Dynasty.

They quickly accepted their fate and obeyed their new masters.

Work hard and diligently started a new life.

Just like these Hun slaves in this Wang family's house, they were still happy to wear the simplest brown clothes, eat the worst food, and do the hardest work.

Zhang Yue is actually very curious about this.

In history, both Han dynasties once absorbed a large number of foreign slaves from the northern grasslands.

But the former is in peace, and even transforms these aliens into their sharpest minions and strongest shields.

For example, now, in the Youbeiping area, the Wuheng people tamed by Huo Qubing regard themselves as the most loyal lackey of the Han Dynasty.

The main body of the Changshui Captain, one of the six captains of the Northern Army, was originally dominated by the Heng people of Guiyiwu.

Even now, more than half of the soldiers in the Changshui Camp camp are descendants of Wu Hengyi or Wu Hengyi.

The people of Wuheng are today, Gurkha mercenaries from the Han Empire.

But the Eastern Han Dynasty was different.

Especially the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was simply terrible.

The so-called Five Barbarians invaded China was actually caused by the riots of the Hu people and slaves of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"What is the reason?" Zhang Yue pondered, unable to find the answer yet.

But there is one thing that Zhang Yue still understands.

That is, now in the Han Dynasty, everyone carries weapons, and almost every family has bows, crossbows, swords and swords.

In the northern counties and states, especially in the border areas, the whole people are even more soldiers.

Under such circumstances, the Hu people and servants would not even have the chance to jump, and they would be suppressed by the local pavilion commander.

so……

"In any case, I want to ensure that the people's armed power will never be threatened!" Zhang Yue thought to himself.

This matter is quite easy to deal with. The voices of the Han Dynasty supporting and supporting the people's armed power are even greater than those of the conservative forces that Midi supported armed power in later generations.

Because people's armed forces are not just traditions, but also about ancestors and descendants.

For the Han people, not showing their own shooting skills to their ancestors when worshiping their ancestors is disrespectful to their ancestors.

If a man is born, if he cannot shake his hands and shoots around, it will cast a shadow on the child's future.

In China, once it is linked to ancestors and descendants, even the king dares not move easily.

Therefore, Zhang Yue only needs to arouse public opinion a little in the future, further enhance the position of holding weapons, and elevate it to the point of "distinguishing whether it is wise or not."

Then, no matter how awesome the ambitious people in later generations are, they may not be able to do this.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue followed Wang Shun's footsteps and walked to the main hall of the palace.

"Please..." Wang Shun stood at the door and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Yue and Liu Jin walked into the hall and their eyes were blinded.

I saw that the two walls of the living room were covered with various decorations.

Some of Zhang Yue recognizes them, such as rhino horns, whale horns, ivory, leopard skins, etc.

But there are many, and he can't recognize them at all.

The floor of the living room is covered with bluestone, and there are screens between the seats on both sides. The screen kneels down to serve a girl, and she can't see clearly, but I think she should be less beautiful.

Wang Shun proudly introduced to Zhang Yue and Liu Jin: "The two young men, the living room is all treasures collected by a family over the past 20 years!"

"There are rhinoceros horns, ivory, pearls of the southwestern Yi, tiger skins, and treasures from the Western Regions..."

Zhang Yue looked at these collections and suddenly asked, "Did Zunjia make a fortune in business?"

Upon hearing this, the other party nodded slightly reservedly and said, "Yes! I wanted to join the army, but I was less than seven feet tall and could not be a soldier. So in anger, I sold my property, bought a batch of silk, went west to Hexi, and walked to the Western Regions..."

"That time, my net worth increased several times!"

Speaking of this, he stroked his beard proudly.

"After that, relying on the power of the emperor and the protection of the Han Tiger Ben, a business road was established between Juyan..."

"I transported Chinese silk, spices and medicines to Cheshi, Dayuan and other places in the Western Regions, and exchanged them for countless wealth..."

"Several years ago, I missed my hometown, so I brought my slaves and family property to Juyan and built this mansion..."

This is also the last destination of most Han merchants.

When they were in their prime, they became rich through business, and when they could no longer walk, they went home to buy property and became rich in the local area.

only……

Zhang Yue suddenly asked, "Why don't you continue to do business?"

"As the younger generation knows, the profit of doing business is much greater than that of farming, especially the silk and spice industry you used to build, the profit is probably ten times more than that of farming and sericulture..."

"The wealth and honor do not return home, like walking in the night..." Wang Shun smiled and said, "Since I am well developed, of course I have to go home to enjoy my happiness. Moreover, merchants are a cheap business after all, so it is better to be a noble person who comes from farming and reading to pass on their families..."

This is also a chronic disease for Chinese businessmen.

After making money, no one wants to expand reproduction and make more money.

Instead, he brought his wealth back to his hometown, purchased land, built luxury houses, and saved slaves.

So the money they earned from industry and commerce eventually poured into the countryside. With the physique of these big businessmen, they could easily defeat the rural order under the small peasant economy.

So, an old businessman disappeared and a new powerful man was born.

What's even more terrible is that this new powerful man was born by a merchant.

This means that he will not have any human touch or feel too strong as a village party.

There is only interests in his eyes.

As a result, his village party encountered an unprecedented crisis.
