Chapter 84 External Announcement
"It's easy to say, I'm just following my orders." Zhou Wu replied truthfully: "The mission of Shenji Camp is to attack. Commander Yan, please take a step forward, and I'll follow you immediately."
Before going to war, Yang Song, Liu Ji and Li Jing made a battle plan. In the plan, the Shenji Battalion was the vanguard and the Imperial Guards were the main force, and they directly rushed towards the Baxter State as the seat of the capital to force the Baxter State to compromise.
If the Baxter State resisted stubbornly, the Shenji Battalion and the Imperial Guard would retreat immediately. After all, the single army went deeper and had only a little logistics, so it would naturally be impossible to stay for a long time.
Only at this time did the Xia Kingdom let the domestic army take turns to attack from multiple ports and plunder the young and strong people in surrounding towns.
The demand for labor in the construction of railways in Xia State is about 500,000 people, so the attack on the Baxter State is a kind of killing other coastal forces to warn the monkeys!
Otherwise, who would obediently hand over the population of this power? Only by letting the many forces in the north know the power of Xia State can they obediently submit.
Since Xia State occupied the Linhai Mountains, it has never shown its fist to the outside world. So many years have passed, and it is time to show its strength to the outside world!
When Xia State had limited national strength and occupied the Linhai Basin, it was still worried about the attack of the allied forces outside the pass. However, after so many years of development, Xia State is no longer the Xia State, which had a population of only a few hundred thousand in the country!
Xia State established the Guihua City. After years of trade, people from the outside world knew that Xia State was a wealthy country, an enviable and longing for.
However, because of Xia's xenophobia, everyone outside could not get what they wanted, and could only live in the window city of Guihua City, which is to be a half-sea people.
This has made many people who cannot live in Guihua City very envious. They often argue about a place to live, but often these people who argue are not qualified to live.
Now, after the Xia Kingdom showed its strength to the outside world, the situation of Guihua City is a bit embarrassing. If you want to live here, you are afraid that you will be caught by the Xia people and act as a slave.
In response to this situation, Xia Kingdom must have a countermeasure, and an official announcement appeared in the public notice board of Guihua City.
Every time the official announcement appears, there are very important things, and this time is no exception.
"Who knows the character Xia Guo? I'll read it to everyone."
"Yes, is anyone who knows the character Xia Guo?"...
The crowd of onlookers was looking around, hoping to find someone who could know the characters of Xia. As for the people of Xia, they would definitely not be seen in such occasions.
"I'll do it, I'll do some." A sound suddenly sounded behind the crowd, causing everyone around to look at it, and the noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Since Tom obtained useful information from Guihua City, he was permanently stationed in Guihua City by Fulimet. Now many years have passed, he has been able to use Chinese to communicate with each other and has also known a lot of Chinese characters.
Now, the envy, respectful, or curious eyes are all focused on him, making him enjoy it very much. Such a scenery is something he has never had outside the City of Guihua.
"Ahem, I'll take a look." Tom walked from the aisle that was separated by himself to the bulletin board, cleared his throat, and looked at the announcement.
"The announcement stated that the Xia Kingdom decided to buy slaves because it needed someone to go to mining. As long as the young and strong slaves were priced at one or two Xia coins."
"And because the Baxter State in the east started a war without authorization, he was unwilling to accept mediation from Xia State, so Xia State decided to launch a siege against it and turned all the young and strong in its country into slaves to show punishment."
Tom finished reading the announcement in the public notice aloud and was secretly shocked. Unexpectedly, Xia State launched a war for slaves. He thought about his boss, Wasn't Fulimete's country recently trying to find a way to seek support from Xia State? This might be a good opportunity.
There are many slaves in Fulimet in China. If he reports this news, it is recommended to report it. As long as it succeeds, he can improve it one more step, and maybe he may get a noble title.
When Tom thought of this, he didn't care about the noisy people around him. He struggled to squeeze out the crowd. This really gave him convenience when he needed him. Who cares about who you are when he didn't need it!
"So it turns out that Xia Kingdom needs slaves! I remember you were a slave dealer before, right?"
"Haha, this is all the past. Now I have settled in Guihua City and have stopped doing it for a long time."
"What a pity, this is a lot of money. Just those untouchables can exchange one or two summer coins for one or two!"
"Well, that's true, but I've never done this anymore." The slave trader also knew that the slave trader was verbal. Although he said nothing about it, he was actually very moved.
The slave merchant secretly recalled the market in the past few years. In the past, an ordinary young slave could only sell seven or eight hundred yuan, and the better one was only one thousand copper coins. Now an ordinary young slave could sell two thousand and five hundred copper coins.
This was a big business, which made the slave merchant have the intention to return to his old business. However, he thought of the beautiful life in Guihua City now, and he was immediately reluctant to let it go.
One of the qualifications for settlement in Guihua City is that it is not enough to be a businessman outside, and can only find a job and live in the city unless it can obtain an official license.
Xia Guo did this to stabilize the city. If the flow of people is too large and the population structure becomes complicated, it will be difficult to manage.
However, the businessman still has connections from the past. He thought of a way to achieve the best of both worlds, which can not only gain considerable benefits, but also avoid violating the rules of the naturalized city.
The former slave merchant decided to contact someone he had known before, and he came to be a middleman to earn the difference.
There are many such situations in Guihua City. Most of the residents outside the pass are natives of the world, so it is normal to have their original connections.
The power and slave trading in this world are very ordinary things, and even ordinary people can get it at any time.
When Tom sent back to the country of Fulimet, the reply came faster than he expected.
"Please go back and tell the adults, I know, I will pass the news to the people of Xia." After reading the reply, Tom replied with a verbal message to the person who sent the message.
After the person who sent the message returned, Tom opened the letter again and burst into laughter in the empty room.
It turned out that the letter also said that as long as he gets done with this matter, he will at least upgrade after he goes back. Isn’t this exactly what he wants?
