    There were several women walking by outside. They were all very young, and judging from their clothes, they must be Han Chinese.  I saw these women carrying things in their hands, followed by several male servants carrying several large food boxes. They walked to a yard not far away, opened the door, and asked the male servants 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. He poked his head to see what was going on in the yard, but unexpectedly he was hit on the head by an old woman, who then laughed and cursed a few times.  The male servant was not angry at all. He joked and joked with the old woman for a while, but he didn't dare to look into the yard anymore and left quickly.

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

    Judging from the clothes of those old women, they do not look like the family members of the officials, and the conditions here are so difficult. I am afraid no one will bring their families to suffer. But if they are not family members, then how could these old women do it?  In a government department like the Slave Registration Department?  And it seems that he is very familiar with this place.

    Xiao Lin also saw the women outside, and when he heard Li Min's question, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, these women can be considered as members of the Slave Registration Department. After all, female slaves also account for a considerable part of the slave trade.  If the daily management of these female slaves were left to men, problems would inevitably arise, so some women were recruited to take charge of the daily management of the female slaves."

    Li Min nodded after hearing this. In the past, the slave trade was dominated by male slaves. However, with the rise of light labor industries such as the textile industry and food processing industry, female slaves have become more and more popular. The trade of female slaves is no longer limited.  In terms of beauty or not.  As long as they are able-bodied female slaves, it doesn't matter which country they are from.  Some people are willing to buy them back and work on them.  Of course, in addition to these, beautiful exotic female slaves are also more popular.  After all, experiencing exotic customs is an irresistible romantic thing for most men.

    But at this moment, Xiao Lin remembered something and pointed to the courtyard where the women entered and said: "Your Highness, the people living in this courtyard are not ordinary female slaves, but the most beautiful ones selected from Japanese women.  , they stay here to eat and drink well, and after they stay healthy, they can sell it for a good price, and the previous Miss Feng Shuyu should also have lived in this courtyard. "

    Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Li Min became somewhat interested in the yard not far away, but when he thought about the fact that several male servants had been stopped just now, it seemed that men were prohibited from entering. This was normal. After all, these female slaves were  It's meant to be sold for a big price, but if someone taints it, it's worthless.

    Seeing the interested look on Li Min's face, Xiao Lin also showed a look of understanding between men.  Then he said with a smile: "Your Highness, these Japanese women are petite in stature and extremely gentle in character. They are very popular in the Tang Dynasty. So why don't you go in and have a look? If you like what you see, it would be a good idea to take a few back to warm your bed!"  "

    Although Xiao Lin is Wen Xin¡¯s cousin.  But as a noble man, Xiao Lin's thoughts are similar to those of others.  In their view, it is a very common thing for men to take concubines.  What's more, these Japanese women are slaves. If they are bought back, they will only be used as sleeping slaves, not even concubines, so there is nothing to worry about.

    Li Min also knows this, but he has a very good relationship with Wen Xin and Xi Jun, and the various concepts brought by his previous life have already been deeply rooted in his bones, and they are not easy to change. Therefore, when it comes to matters between men and women, he  I have always been very cautious and would not leave any romantic debts unless necessary.

    It was precisely for the above reasons that Li Min still rejected Xiao Lin's kindness, and instead talked with Xiao Lin about the construction of Nugang. Although these matters were not within the scope of Xiao Lin's duties, after all, he  Having stayed here for a while, he has his own opinions on some things, and as Xiao Lin, his words are more credible.

    Through Xiao Lin, Li Min gained a better understanding of the construction of Slave 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 project should be almost completed.  At that time, the slave port can be officially put into use.  The reason why he attaches so much importance to Slave Port is mainly because of its location. With the help of this port, he can directly face the wider Pacific Ocean, and it is also a key link in the first island chain of the Central Plains Continent. As long as it is guarded  Here, there is no need to worry about being attacked from the ocean in the direction of the mainland.

    The current Nugang is just a large and messy construction site. After staying here for a few days, Li Min is already preparing to return to Sixian. After all, the war on the Japanese side is over.  With the guard dog and Wang An personally in charge, it will not take long for his rule over the Japanese country to become stronger.

    The King of Qi has already sent Wu Meiniang and Wen'er back to Sichuan, and then passed through the Bungo Channel between Chikushi Island and Iyo Island into the Pacific Ocean, and then followed the Japanese coast.The land of ?? went north and soon arrived at Nu Port, but what surprised Li Min was that Gao Zhong, the chief manager of his palace, also came with the ship.

    After Gao Zhong got off the ship and met Li Min, he was busy and disappeared for several days. Gao Zhong was one of the people he trusted most, so he didn't bother to ask. He just sorted out the things he collected in Japan and prepared to take them back.  When giving gifts, especially since Cai'er, Empress Xiao, and Princess Nanyang are still living in Sixian City, their gifts must not be careless.

    A few days later, everything was ready, and Li Min boarded the King of Qi with his guards. However, when boarding the ship, Li Min was a little surprised to find that Gao Chong actually brought a group of dozens of beautiful Japanese.  The woman got on the boat, which made him very strange. He immediately called Gao Zhong and asked him what was going on?

    Gao Zhong knew that Li Min would ask about this matter, so when he saw Li Min, he immediately said: "Your Highness, a batch of letters came from Chang'an the other day. Among them were several young masters from the Hejian Palace and the Duke of Wei.  Mr. Li, Mr. Qin from Mr. Hu's family, and others all knew that His Highness conquered the Japanese country, so they came to trust you to bring some Japanese girls back to them. However, His Highness was in the Japanese country at that time, so the letter was delivered to the old slave.  And it¡¯s not a big deal, so the old slave took it upon himself to make the decision and follow the ship to pick some beauties to take back.¡±

    Li Min slapped his head when he heard this, thinking that guys like Li Yong and Li Yexu were really rude. They asked for beauties when they asked for them, but that was all for others. He didn't expect that a guy like Qin Huaiyu with thick eyebrows and big eyes would be so nice.  This bite is really unexpected.  But then Li Min thought that when he met Xiao Lin before, he asked him to pick a few Japanese girls to go back to, but he refused. But now that Gao Zhong came and picked so many Japanese girls at once, this  If Xiao Lin knew about this, I wonder what he would think of his brother-in-law?

    "I see. Since it's a gift, it's up to you, Gao Zhong, to take care of it. Take good care of these Japanese girls and assign a few more people to take care of them. Don't let any accidents happen." Li Min asked Gao Zhong with a wry smile.  , since the person has been sold, let it be misunderstood. Anyway, he is not interested in these Japanese girls, but these are bought with money after all, and it is not easy to find Japanese girls who can attract Gao Zhong, so naturally he wants to  Pay some attention.

    Gao Chong immediately said yes, and then Li Min waved him down to get busy. After all, their fleet was leaving the port, so naturally they had a lot of things to do. As Gao Chong was the general manager of the palace, many things could not do without him.

    In addition to his Qi Wang and several escorting warships, Li Min's fleet this time was also followed by several other fleets. They were all slave traders who were leaving the port. When they heard that Li Min was leaving, they naturally  They want to go together, including the fleets of Smiling Tiger and One-eyed Shark.

    People 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 Min has gone to sea a lot of times, and he has long been tired of seeing the scenery on the sea, so he just stayed there.  It was very boring on the boat, and there was no caring person like Wen'er around, so I couldn't find anyone to talk to.  Although Gao Chong was trusted by him, as the chief manager of the palace, he was extremely busy and couldn't stop even on board the ship, so Li Min couldn't disturb him.

    In desperation, Li Min simply asked someone to call the Smiling Tiger and the One-eyed Shark from another boat. The three of them drank while listening to them tell some anecdotes about the anecdotes they encountered while catching slaves.  At first, Husha and the two were a little reluctant to let go. After all, their identities were too different from Li Min. Even their business was dependent on Li Min. The two of them were equivalent to subordinates of Prince Qi's palace. Now they have to sit with Li Min.  Drinking wine naturally makes them feel on pins and needles.

    However, Li Min didn't care about this. He pulled them over and poured wine on them. After a few glasses of strong wine, the two of them slowly let go and told about their slave-catching experiences over the years. Among them  Although most of them are bloody and cruel, they are also full of passion and are considered excellent story themes.

    Speaking of the slave-catching industry in the Tang Dynasty, Li Min occupied an important position in it. There was even a special slave-catching team in the Qi Palace, and there were also many slave-catching teams like Tiger Shark who were secretly supported by him. It can be said that  Nearly half of the slave sales in the Tang Dynasty were directly or indirectly related to him. It can be said that he was the biggest mastermind behind the slave hunting industry in the Tang Dynasty.

    ¡°However, although Li Min was deeply involved in the slave-catching industry, given his status, he had never personally participated in slave-catching. At most, he had only seen transactions between prisoners of war captured by the army and businessmen.  The topics related to slave hunting mentioned by Tiger Shark aroused great interest in him, and he even proposed to go to the ship where Tiger Shark and others transported slaves.

    Hearing Li Min's request, the two tigers and sharks looked at each other in embarrassment, and then said: "Your Highness, you are a rich man. The ships transporting slaves are usually dirty and messy. If it is dirty,  If it cuts into your eyes, then our brother will definitely be blamed for his death!"

    ? ??Haha~, what does this mean? When I was on the battlefield, I had never seen any scenes. Are you still afraid of being messy? Just make arrangements!  "Li Min was so excited that no one could stop him, but what he didn't expect was that on a whim this time, he would see someone he had long forgotten. (To be continued.)
