0561: Abolish Slavery.
In the moonlight, in the courtyard of Xili District.
Eleven o'clock at night.
By the orange candlelight, Qiao Ji sat at the head of the study and looked at the documents organized during the day.
His sharp side face was softened by the warm candlelight, and his long eyelashes blinked from time to time.
The document in the young man's hand was full of words, and the thick stack of documents was turned to a little curled.
"Master, do you want to rest first?" Xue Nai filled the empty cup with tea again.
Since the eldest lady left in the morning, Qiao Ji has been staying in the study, and even the dinner was brought over by the white cat girl for a simple sip.
"It's okay, anyway, I don't feel sleepy yet, just watch it for a while." Qiao Ji smiled lightly.
He reached out and rubbed the white cat girl's face gently, and said softly, "Go to bed first, it's getting late.
"I'll stay with the lord." Xue Nai shook her head and said.
"Hahaha.....Look at your eyelids that you can't open, I'm really fine." Qiao Ji smiled with her bright teeth showing.
Xue Nai pursed her pink lips slightly, and muttered, "If the lord needs me later, just let someone wake me up.
"Okay." Qiao Ji smiled and waved his hand.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Xue Nai turned her head three times and left the study, as for Lian Xin and Lei Nai, they had already fallen asleep.
Qiao Ji saw that the white cat girl closed the study door, and continued to look down at the documents on the table.
He picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip slowly, muttering to himself, "It's a bit difficult to reform."
"What is your brother looking at?"
A clear female voice suddenly came from outside the study, and as the study door was opened, that long-legged man walked in.
She took off the coat on her body, then threw it on the chair beside her, and said softly, "Is my brother still awake so late?"
Wolf Er Niang originally decided to open the window, but every time she was caught by the boy, she gave up without any surprise.
"I'm busy with slave work." Qiao Ji slightly raised her thick eyebrows.
He gently took Lang Erniang's hand, let her sit on his lap, and asked in a gentle voice, "How have you been lately?"
Dinah went to Hani City in Dongpu some time ago, and the Holy League there encountered some troubles.
"It's okay, the problem encountered by the Holy League in Hani City has been temporarily solved, and I gave a severe lesson to those hateful nobles.
Dinah raised her snow-white chin slightly, her purple eyes met Qiao Ji's deep, heterochromatic pupils, and her cold face instantly flushed with blush.
She lowered her head shyly, and said softly, "Sanmeng has taken over a small batch of spice business, and we can slowly replace it with our own products."
After the war ended, the Holy League, which was originally stationed in Hani City, returned to the station, only to find that it was occupied by some nobles' black gloves.
Dinah's trip to Hani City this time is to solve this problem, and by the way, annex the black gloves of the nobles and use them to run the spice business.
As we all know, Hani City is one of the top ten super cities of the Golden Eagle Empire, and the spice business is the leader in the empire, so the Holy League naturally wants a piece of the pie.
"Okay, tomorrow I will ask Huawei to arrange for the seasoning to be transported there. You can rest in the courtyard for a few days." Yang Ji gently stroked the wolf's ear girl's hair.
In addition to the seasoning of salt, there are some strange spices in this era.
Strange spices are made from some plants with special smell, washed, dried and ground into powder.
Most of the flavors are strong aromas, other than that there is not much flavor, just to make the food smell better, to cover up some of the meaty smell.
This is very different from Qiao Ji's seasoning. He plans to sell some of the seasoning from Harney City first.
Of course, the seasonings that Qiao Ji brings out are all re-improved, and the taste will be lighter than the original recipe.
But even so, it tastes better than the spices of this era, and the food is just as pleasing.
"I'm not tired." Dinah shook her head without thinking.
She put her head close to the young man's arms, like a kitten afraid of light, she kept moving towards a safe place.
Qiao Ji let Lang Er Niang act like a spoiled child in her arms, her dumb horns outlined a beautiful arc.
This is a rare and beautiful scene. In the eyes of outsiders, Dinah is unsmiling, with a cold look that makes people afraid to approach.
Who would have thought that such an iceberg beauty would sometimes act coquettishly cute.
Ten minutes later.
After Dinah felt enough sense of security, she slowly raised her head and asked, "By the way, I just heard that my brother is busy with slave affairs."
She remembered that Qiao Ji bought a lot of slaves in Wulang City in Xiqiu. Wulang City was also one of the ten super cities in the empire, and it was mainly engaged in the business of buying and selling slaves.
Ten of the slaves working in various renovation projects in the empire were purchased from Wulang City.
As long as you buy enough, the price of slaves will not be too high. After all, in this era, slaves are the least valuable thing.
Cheap labor is everywhere, and those nobles don't care about slaves at all.
Of course, except for some beautiful, handsome, or skilled slaves, they can often be sold at very high prices.
"々`Yeah, the current slavery system is a bit unfair, I want to change it a little bit." Qiao Ji slightly lowered her pretty eyebrows and said.
He was a slave as soon as he transmigrated. This is an unchangeable fact. It is precisely because he empathizes with him that he wants to change the status quo of the empire.
As long as you become a slave in this era, unless you are very lucky, you will be a slave for the rest of your life, and even your children will become slaves.
For example, Qiao Ji is lucky and capable. If it weren't for the system and the appearance of the most beautiful boy in the imperial capital, he might have to die in the arena.
"Change the slave system?" Dinah widened Purple's eyes after hearing this.
Her curly eyelashes trembled slightly, she couldn't believe what she had just heard (for the good money), and asked again, "Is what my brother is talking about changing the existing slavery system?"
"That's right, but this needs to be done slowly. I can't do it right now, but I will definitely implement it when I ascend the throne of the Great Emperor in the future."
Qiao Ji nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Of course, if the slavery system really needs to be changed in the future, those nobles are definitely not willing, so we need to think long term.
He drew up a draft today, just to change the status quo of slaves in the empire, and he only wrote a few points for the time being.
If Qiao Ji wanted to make the Golden Eagle Empire better and better, he had to slowly abolish slavery.
Because slavery greatly restricted the development of productivity, it would gradually decline the entire empire.
"I believe in my brother." Dinah said and kissed the boy's ear.
Qiao Ji was taken aback by the sudden kiss, and immediately picked up Wolf Er Niang and walked towards the sofa.
