Chapter 1823 You don't want to use his family to threaten, right?

More than 200 servants and servants of the Xiao family in Lu State decided to join Qi so quickly and wanted to become a member of Qi. In addition to the treatment given to ordinary people by Qi, they were like fairyland paradise, and they were all descendants of Yan and Huang and Chinese descendants, which also occupies a very important part.

Nothing else is said. The theories passed down here are from various schools of thought. The people here speak Chinese language and write Chinese characters. The Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival and other festivals are all the same.

Under such a general premise, it doesn’t matter if you abandon your identity as a Lu person. More than 200 young and middle-aged people have almost no sense of resistance.

With Li Er and Wang Hui's scolding, the first mate Liu's face turned red when he was scolded. Although he was so angry that he was extremely shocked and angry, he really didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Just as Li Er said, can the inside story of Lu's affairs that haunt coastal villages and towns, causing a large number of bankrupt fishermen and people in coastal villages and towns, deceive the world for the rest of its life?

You can deceive those people or things for a lifetime, some people, but you will definitely not deceive the whole world.

Speaking of the Xiao family, as well as other gentry and nobles of Lu, and even the big merchants went to Lu to do business and operate the territory, could not they hire coastal fishermen as sailors with normal treatment and normal salary?

Of course, the gentry and noble grandfathers can use wealth or other conditions to recruit good fishermen, but they are usually recruiting and hiring, and they cost a lot.

When recruiting and hiring, how can you send a private fleet to disguise yourself as pirates, rob and rob, and force a large number of young, strong or old and weak to sell themselves as slaves?

If you go to recruit sailors, if the other party is killed or injured, you will have to give a considerable amount of settlement fee, and you will not be able to kill and enslave it at will. But if the other party sells himself as a slave and becomes your slave, even if you are killed or injured, whether you will give a pension or how much settlement fee will depend on your own mood. Giving it is a gift of grace, and if you don’t give it, it will be like that.

When the first mate Liu was scolded and speechless, Zhang Han, who was standing beside him, was breathing heavily. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and breathed silently for a few breaths. Zhang Han pointed to a young man in the team and said, "Zhao Shun, why are you doing this too? Your parents and brother are still waiting for you in Xuecheng. You are joining Qi State now, don't you want your family?"

As soon as these words were said, not only Li Er, but also Wang Hui and others stopped scolding. Even many young people in the team who were celebrating excitedly became silent.

Some of the more than 200 servants of the Xiao family, like Zhang Xiaoliu and Li Er, who were fed and not hungry, and their relatives died of natural disasters or scoundrels. They were alone, abandoned their nationality in Lu and joined Qi, and were clean and neat and had no future troubles.

But there are only a few such people, and there are still many people in Shandong who have relatives. Even if there are only a few people who get married and have children, it is very common for parents to sell themselves as slaves to foster their younger siblings.

Zhao Shun is one of them, and he is also a sailor who is more familiar with Zhang Han.

After a few silence, Zhao Shun was about to say something. In front of the team, a county runner was wandering in the courtyard to maintain order, but he smiled and said, "Your name is Zhao Shun? Once you become a member of my Qi State and become a member of my Da Qi State, then when you want to take your relatives to reunite, my Qi State will naturally support you."

After pausing, the yamen runner looked at Zhang Han with a smile, "You don't want to use his family to threaten it, right? Is this provoking my Daqi?"

Zhang Han was in a mess in an instant.

On the contrary, the young and middle-aged people who were queuing up to register were stunned and cheered.

Everyone is a maritime island country, and the countries pay great attention to coastal defense and naval warfare, but they are just Lu, the country of Lu, whose naval strength is comparable to Qi? It is not worth mentioning.

Just to say that in the battle between the sailors and artillerymen and the Principal of Ventera, the Xiao family relied on cannons and giant ships, crushing a small and medium-sized ship of the Principal of Ventera.

In the vast ocean, the displacement is less than 500 tons, so it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized ship.

In a naval battle, two warships with a displacement of nearly 1,000 tons of Xiao's family rushed around like Tyrannosaurus Rex, and it was not difficult to fight ten.

The double-layer artillery deck, the thickness of the warship gangway armor is more than 0.5 meters, and the small cannon cannot be penetrated at all if it is hit.

The previous Xiao family caravan, two warships, plus fifteen armed merchant ships with displacement of 5,600 or 7,800 tons, were already the strongest naval combat force of the top powerful family of the Xiao family.

But compared to the Qi team? Don’t be funny. The Qi Navy has a displacement of 2,000 tons, 3,000 tons, a three-layer artillery deck, a ship with one or two hundred gates, and a battleship with a thickness of about 1.5 meters and a battleship with a displacement of 1,000 tons, and a large number of cruisers.

Of course, Qi State does not lack divine gunners. Qi State itself has 150,000 active navy, and the whole country has a reserve system. Choosing a group of elite magic gunners may not be much weaker than Shang Tang.

If any two battleships are driven out, they will be able to rage all directions in the ocean of Lu just like the two warships of the Xiao family who beat the Ventera merchant ships before.

How could such a Qi State be provoked by Lu State?

Of course, in the past, even if the Qi people knew that their country was strong and belonged to the overlord of the ocean, they would not be too domineering when facing foreigners.

In the past, because of fear of the two empires of Shang and Tang, even the people smuggled by Ren Weizhou, Qi State quietly accepted them. Once the smuggler was discovered by Shang and Tang or Ren Weizhou officials, Qi State would send them back.

It is easy for Qi to fight Ren Wei and Zhou, but it is not easy to stimulate the Shang and Tang empires openly.

Everything is different now. King Qi has sent troops to the State of Defense. The vast fleet and a large number of army transport fleets, and even many alternate and reserve officials in the ruling party are rushing to take over the State of Defense.

Even the yamen runners in the county did not know what happened to the highest level of the Qi royal family. Only by mobilizing military forces could we know that the Qi royal family no longer feared Shang Tang...

Even Shang Tang didn’t care about the reaction, who still cared about the reaction of Xiaoxiao Lu?

This yamen runner who maintained order would speak at this time, which was both a joke and a warning.

When Zhang Han lost his voice again, and Master Liu didn't know what he was wrong, the yamen runner spoke again to more than 200 young and middle-aged men, "Everyone, as long as you officially become part of my Great Qi, you will naturally be protected by our Qi. If anyone misses his relatives far away in another country in the future, you can use various caravans or self-organized merchant ships to go to another country to bring their relatives and friends back."

"In this regard, it is not that I am a little yamen runner who are talking nonsense, but that the Ren Zhou people who used to surrender to our Qi State have now received the imperial edict from the king that they can go to Ren Zhou to welcome their families."

Qi was attacking Wei State and it was easy to conquer it. It was hard to say how the Tang Dynasty reacted afterwards. It still needed to slow down the military annexation of Ren and Zhou countries. It is hard to say how long it took to slow down.

But the King of Qi did issue an edict that the people of Daqi could go to Renguo, Zhouguo and others to visit relatives and friends... and even bring relatives to Qi for tourism, etc. The person who said it was about traveling and being a guest, and it was not a fool who knew what the actual situation was.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Shun, Wang Hui and the young and middle-aged men cheered again, and even shouted long live the King of Qi.
