Seeing that Mi Zhu was looking at these Hu people in a daze, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Zizhong, if there is anyone you like, just pick ten or eight to go back first. You're welcome."
Mi Zhu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That's all, it's just the first time I saw people from Hu State in Zhou. I thought it was a bit strange, so I took a few more glances."
Lu Bu paced up to the prisoners of Hu State in Zhou, but when he was still far away, he smelled an unpleasant smell.
Lu Bu pulled out the sword from his waist with some disgust, used the tip of the sword to fiddle with the felt hair, starched leather waistcoats and yellowed thongs of these Hu people, and then said to Wei Xu:
"Next time, remember, before transporting these things back, shave their heads, throw away all these junk, and rinse them clean before letting them board the ship.
Don't bring back the lice and fleas over there. If you bring back some plague, the gain will outweigh the loss. "
As he spoke, the sword edge slashed, and the crotch cloth of a Hu man from Zhou was cut off and fell to his feet.
The barbarians in Nazhou seemed to have been greatly insulted, and seemed to want to fight Lu Bu!
However, his hands were tied, so he had no choice but to curse in a language that no one understood, and then spat at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu didn't expect the Zhou Hu people to attack with magic, so he subconsciously ducked back and spat on his boots.
When Wei Xu saw this, he stepped forward, opened his bow left and right, and gave the barbarians of Nazhou a few big mouths.
However, Lu Bu stopped Wei Xu and motioned for him to grab Zhou Huren's hair. Then he held his chin and inserted his sword into his mouth to stir things up.
The wailing like a slaughtering pig made the nearby Zhou Hu people and even Mi Zhu feel a little frightened.
Lu Bu drew his sword. The Hu man coughed a few times and spit out half of his tongue and a few teeth.
"How dare people like pigs and dogs be so arrogant?"
Before anyone could react, Lu Bu pierced the man's abdomen with his sword.
"Hang him up and let him die slowly!" Lu Bu said, wiping the blood on his sword on the soles of his shoes.
"Yes..." Wei Xu didn't expect Lu Bu to be so cruel, so he quickly asked two soldiers to loosen the rope of the barbarian in Nazhou and hang him on the flagpole.
"Look out for me, you despicable slaves! If you dare to disobey me, this is what will happen!"
Lu Bu didn't care whether the barbarians in other states could understand or not, he yelled at them.
"Now do as I say, shave their hair, take off their clothes, wash them with limestone, brand their faces with a soldering iron, and send them all to the coal mine!"
Seeing the soldiers driving these Zhou Hu people away like a herd of animals, Mi Zhu asked in a low voice:
"Marquis Wen...you said you wanted to go overseas to do business...is this the kind of business you do?"
Lu Bu chuckled: "That's right!"
Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "This... Marquis Wen, if you want to achieve great things, you should first win the hearts and minds of the people!
Mencius said: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world. Should Marquis Wen still be virtuous and benevolent in the world? "
Lu Bu glanced at him coldly and said, "You are right. I want to love the people like my own son and implement benevolent government. But... do you think the Hu people in these states can be considered human beings?"
"Ah, this...even though he is not of my race, he is still the son of his father and mother..."
Mi Zhu really didn’t understand.
After spending such a long time together, Mi Zhu discovered that Lu Bu was actually a very easy-going person.
Not only was he kind to his family and the people around him, but he also cared about the refugees who surrendered to him. Not only did he build them strong and warm houses, but he also told them to eat well.
Especially for people with certain skills, they are repeatedly asked to be kind.
Why do we just kill these barbarians at the drop of a hat?
How did Mi Zhu know that Lu Bu was not from this era at all?
Regardless of whether the Hu people in these states become Japanese or Koreans in the future, they are one of the ethnic groups that Lu Bu dislikes the most.
In Lu Bu's view, these people are all white-eyed wolves who repay kindness with hatred, are ungrateful, and are not well-bred!
If there is a chance, Lu Bu would like to take a boat to Sanhan or Japan to harm them. Can he give them a good look now?
Not only them, the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other ethnic minorities in the north will also have to be bled one by one when Lu Bu is free!
The Three Kingdoms were established, Sima replaced Wei and Jianjin, and then came the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and the Five Husbands, which were the darkest moments in the history of the Han people...
Now that Lu Bu is here, how can he tolerate this happening again?
Seeing Lu Bu's eyes gradually becoming more fierce, Mi Zhu couldn't help but feel a little timid and said, "Marquis Wen, I just said it casually..."
Only then did Lu Bu come to his senses, smiled, patted Mi Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Zizhong, I never thought you also have a kind heart.
In fact, why am I not a kind person?
It's just that with the rise of thieves in the world, the separatist feudal lords, and the drought and floods, it is difficult for us Han people to survive. The kindness I have must be given to our own compatriots first, don't you think? "
Mi Zhu said hurriedly: "Marquis Wen is right!"
Lu Bu added: "Of all the ethnic groups in the world, we, the Han people, are the superior ethnic group, and all other barbarians are inferior to us, the Han people!
You have also seen that now I am opening a kiln to smelt iron in Pengcheng, and in the future I will open up wasteland for farming and build cities, which all require a lot of labor.
The barbarians in these states were able to work and did not need to be paid, so they were naturally the first choice for slavery.
Zizhong, you have to get used to this and stop treating them as human beings from now on! "
As he spoke, Lu Bu himself was also thinking about how to promote the concept of Han supremacy and let more people accept it.
For a businessman like Mi Zhu, he should gradually be able to accept it after seeing how much value slaves can create for him.
How can we make ordinary people regard these barbarians as inferior people who are destined to be slaves?
These despicable peoples...
Returning to Mi Mansion, Cai Wenji was nowhere to be seen in the back house.
After asking, I found out that Cai Wenji went to supervise papermaking.
Arriving at the temporary papermaking workshop, Cai Wenji was indeed there watching the craftsmen using papermaking frames to make paper in the pulp tank.
Yin Kankan walked up behind Cai Wenji and slowly hugged her waist.
"Oops!" Cai Wenji was startled, and when she saw it was Lu Bu, she patted her chest and said, "You don't even make a sound when you walk, you're scared to death!"
Lu Bu put his arms around Cai Wenji's waist, lowered his head and put his nose to her snow-white neck, took a deep breath and said:
"You're already healthy, why are you still here? You have to take a good rest!"
Many craftsmen turned their heads and went about their own business, and no one dared to take a second look.
Cai Wenji couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "Marquis Wen, let go..."
Lu Bu said: "Hey, if you promise me to have a good pregnancy and raise the baby, I will let you go."
