It is a long distance to sell to Si Shang, and the places where people are usually employed are densely populated areas, so it is difficult to escape or something.

In addition, after all, it was not the one caught by Si Shang, so there was no such great hatred.

It is also said that everyone is equal, and they do not have the status of slaves, but they do not pay money, do not issue land, and do not issue agricultural tools, forcing them to become "landless farmers under the enclosure": they have no hair, and they will starve to death if they don't work, but they have a free and equal identity, which is the so-called hypocritical equality of the farmers.

In short, there is still hope here. You can have a legal identity and enjoy the treatment, obligations and rights of the people after working for a few years. You may even allocate land, depending on the situation.

From a certain perspective, the living standards of these people have improved compared to before and have not resisted much.

Because they were working hard during their youth, they were basically impossible to serve when they had the obligation to serve after the contract expired. The main force of the charity army was the self-cultivated farmers, the fief farmers who fled here or the farmers who were debt-owed.

Lin Wujun thought that the Mo family’s strong publicity and organizational capabilities would make it more dangerous for each additional person to save him in the future.

But thinking again, in the long run, everyone will die. He will sell it even if he doesn’t sell it. If Linwu doesn’t sell it, the Mo family can buy it from Jiuyi. By then, others will be strong and weak, and that’s useless.

The more than 3,000 people used to change guns were caught in the western mountainous areas not long ago, and half of the profits needed to be given to Quanlingjun in the west.

Quanling is located west of Linwu, also known as Jiuji Mountain. It is said that it is the place where Emperor Shun died in the southern tour. It was buried in Jiuji, so it is named after the tomb. Because it is considered the source of Xiang River, it is called Quanling.

Another important border in the south of Chu State is Jiuli in Quanling, which also has close trade with the South China Sea region.

Later generations of First Emperor digging the spiritual canal just slightly southwest.

The Yangtze River and the Pearl River water system are separated by Nanling. Linwu communicates with the tributaries of the Beijiang River and the Xiangshui River in the upper reaches of the Pearl River; Quanling is the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River and the Lijiang River.

At this time, Lijiang River is also known as Lishui. Because there are many gold in nearby rivers, many settlements are there to collect gold, and Quanlingjun also has a part of the income.

Han Feizi once used the story of gold hunting in Lishui to tell a fable, saying that in the land of Jingnan, gold is produced in Lishui, and many people steal gold. The prohibition of gold mining: if you get it, you will be in the market. There are many people who block the water, but people steal gold. No major sins are serious in the market, but you still don’t need to get it. Therefore, there is a saying here: "I will kill you in the world." Mediocre people will not do it. If you have the world and the great profit, you will still not do it. Therefore, you do not need to get it. Even if you are innocent, you will steal gold. If you know that you will die, you will not do it.

The expansion of the Mohist family in the South China Sea was carried out along the river channel, and mainly adopted a colonial development method with separate cities to control a range, because the urban population is easier to manage and mobilize, and it is neither difficult nor profitable to be kept under the vast border areas.

For various reasons, the two richest lords in the entire Chu border area are Linwu Jun and Quanling Jun, and have the closest relationship with the South China Sea Chamber of Commerce because they involve personal interests.

Population and gold, as the main means of payment, exchanged for weapons and gunpowder, also made the two vassals' voices in Chu increase day by day.

For Quanlingjun and Linwujun, more muskets arm more troops, more troops capture more people, more people exchange for more muskets, and they can also use slaves to make gold in some rivers. The expansion and prosperity brought about by this abnormal development model is also doomed to Chu State that it is not capable of managing such remote areas as local direct jurisdiction for the time being.

This development model is also destined to be closely linked to the South China Sea. It is no longer a separate fief, but because trade has been connected to a unified market. This is even more so if Lechangxia and Lingqu can qualify in advance.

Therefore, Linwu Jun would not consider the impact of selling people to the South China Sea on his future, nor would he consider the victory or defeat of going abroad to interfere in Song State. Song State is too far away from here. Even if Chu State loses, should he be a vassal or a vassal or a vassal or a vassal or a vassal or a vassal. It is enough to ensure that the Mohist family does not have the intention to go north in the South China Sea.

As for the future, it was useless for him to consider it. The current great enemy is not the aggressive Si Shang, but the sword of reform hanging above the heads of these princes.

In addition to leaving 700 for Quanling Jun, the rest will be transported along the Xiang River to the downstream of the Xiang River, where the monarchs there also need weapons.

Because the tax-free festival granted by the King of Chu to the Mo family was not allowed to sell weapons, a large part of the profit was obtained by the border monarchs such as Linwu Jun.

The caravan's negotiating person had already received an order before coming, allowing him to reach many transactions including weapons with Fengjun. I heard that Linwujun said that he was responsible for transporting and paid for the urgently needed population in the South China Sea, which was just right.

Seeing that the other party agreed, Lin Wujun asked again: "I don't know when this batch of muskets can be traded? I'm here, so I'm ready."

He still wanted to test the meaning of the Mo family and see if the Mo family had the idea of ​​preparing to use force in the South China Sea.

The caravan said readily: "The number of three thousand muskets is not large. But you also know that there are many passes along the Yangtze River, and there are no muskets that cannot be transported there. In the South China Sea, I estimate that 1,500 can be paid in the warehouse first, and the rest need to be transported from Hangou to Yuedi, and then sent along the coast. At the latest it will be next year."

"Those 1,500 pieces can be delivered before autumn."

"As for the transaction payment... gold and copper can be transported directly. If the food is needed, I'm afraid it will take some time to organize people to transport it in the South China Sea. The 3,000 people may also temporarily need to be in Linwu."

Linwu Jun said strangely: "Isn't Lechang Gorge still not completed? It's the time when people are short of people."

The caravan replied: "Of course, people are short of people. However, there is insufficient food transportation. If you send people rashly, you may not be able to receive the food."

"Although Wujiang is connected to the South China Sea, it is always upstream along the road. The mountains are high and the water is fast, and transportation is quite difficult. The entire South China Sea is busy with this matter, and it really cannot draw more people. More than 20,000 people are already the limit. If you continue to spend more, you will consume countless food every year, which is really impossible to support it."

After he said this, Lin Wujun became even more at ease. He was also from a military background and knew the role of logistics in war.

The 20,000 people built in Lechang Gorge, and the South China Sea area was already in short supply. If there was really anything to conquer, the logistics staff needed would be more.

If you are guarding Linwu, you can only pass by ten thousand men and women. If you go upstream, you can't easily conquer the Mohist family.

As for whether the chaos in the Song Dynasty would involve Linwu, Linwu Jun felt that as long as he sent someone to supervise the construction site in Lechang Gorge, he would know that if those people temporarily suspended work and turned to be responsible for logistics and supplies, it would be too late for him to prepare in advance.

Lin Wujun believed the explanation given by the caravan, and asked again: "The grain can be temporarily stored here, but it needs to be delivered in advance, and all losses will be borne by you. Those populations... will be delivered in a while."

"These people need to eat and dress, so I can't support them, and there is no way to do it for them for the time being."

The caravan asked, "So, is it okay to leave a part of it in Linwu first? You also know that we have a shipbuilding workshop upstream of the Hunan River. Now, trade in Xiang River, the river and Dongting is frequent, and there are many giant trees here, so we need to increase our manpower recently."

This is true.

After the Chen and Cai Kingdom supported the successful restoration of the Prince Ding Rebellion, the sacrifices of Cai Kingdom were still preserved, but a large number of people were migrated to Gao Cai in Hunan. They continued to exist as vassals of Chu. However, Chu also had county governors there, which was a situation where feudal states and county governors coexisted.

With the migration of a large number of people, Gaocai, Changsha, Hengyang and other places have gradually become the granaries of Chu.

Therefore, the so-called millet of Han, Pang, Changsha, and Chu.

The Yuanshui in the upper reaches of Dongting Lake is also an important front line for Chu to fight against Ba. It is backed by the granary developed by the immigrants of Cai and guards the upstream of Dongting Lake. There are gold mines, cinnabar mines and the best realgar mines in the entire Chu State nearby.

Because the Dongting area is humid, hot and insect-free, realgar that can deworm is also an important strategic material, so the State of Chu attaches great importance to it.

In addition, the second largest copper mine in the Chu State is located in the upper reaches of the Yuan River. The entire Dongting area has gradually become a major area of ​​Chu State with the Nanyang region.

The development of the economy, the progress of productivity, and the introduction of various tools have led to the rapid development of shipping trade centered on Dongting Lake.

The Chu State itself has good shipbuilding technology, but in recent years it has not been as fast as it has developed many disciples of the two carpenters, Lu Ban of Chu State and Modi of Song State; it has integrated the shipbuilding technology of Yue State and some of Solu Chan's shipbuilding technology returned from the west.

In addition, the efficiency of shipbuilding methods such as division of labor and hydraulic sawmills in Si Shang was improved, and the warships Chu State built themselves, while most of the merchant ships were purchased from the Mo family's shipyards.

There is a shipyard in Linwujun’s fiefdom, which brings a lot of benefits to Linwujun every year.

Although the owner of this shipyard is a chamber of commerce, Linwujun also has a part of the shares, plus some important raw materials such as wood. Linwujun has slaves cut down on each ship. Every time a ship is sold, he will pay a tax to Linwujun according to the rules. Linwujun is very satisfied.

When the caravan talked about the shipyard, Lin Wujun felt it was very good and said, "It's good. There can be some people there. Only the same... strictly abide by the rules."

"You have your righteousness and we have our rituals. You can do whatever you want in the South China Sea and Si. But here, don't do anything to deceive and preach."

"We have agreed before that all the exchanges between shipyards will be purchased by specialized people. Don't have too much contact with local commoners. When these people leave in the future, remember not to preach your righteousness with local people."

"If it is promoted, drive it away immediately."

This is a rule that had been set long ago. The caravan nodded repeatedly and said, "This is reassurance. We have our own rules, so we can benefit from it."
