Chapter 171: Ge Mincai
Xu Yaoling smiled bitterly again: "If you treat those three envoys and translators with kindness, it's not a big problem. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info only, I have to ask you below, what should we do with these sixty-seven Kunlun slaves?"
Peng Cheng said to the official: "In case of fraud, the minister suggested that all Kunlun slaves be sent to the prison and strictly guarded. ”
Wen Yanbo hurriedly objected and said: "The imprisonment is unreasonable, and it is unbearable to be emotional. ”
"Lord Wen, they are not considered envoys," Lu Mianzhi echoed Peng Cheng and said: "Strictly come to envoys, Kunlun Nu is also a soldier, not afraid of 10,000, the most afraid of what happens, if the Three Buddhas come to the country to join forces with the outside, the consequences will ......."
"Lord Lu, have you read too many strange idle books?"
Gu Bohong seems to be addicted to arguing with Lu Mianzhi, but whenever the other party agrees, he has to oppose sarcasm by all means: "What kind of Three Buddhas Qi Country is farther than Naguawa Country, 108,000 miles, how can they cooperate with the outside world?"
"You can't take it lightly anyway!"
Lu Mianzhi thought about it for a while, and also realized that this "inside should be combined with the outside" was too ridiculous, so he had no choice but to find the next step, so he had to say this vaguely.
Xu Yaoling interjected: "Actually, these Kunlun slaves are really pitiful. According to the interpreter, they were engaged in the lowest level of labor in the Srivijaya country, with no wages, and no place to live, so the master only gave them a bite to eat, and they were chained with straw ropes and iron chains on weekdays, for fear that they would escape, and they would be whipped and kicked at every turn...... All of them were domesticated to be gentle-tempered, down-to-earth and well-behaved, alas......"
"No wages, only food?"
"Chained...... And whipping and kicking?"
"Barbarism! These three Buddhas are really barbaric!"
"Inhumane, inhumane......"
Thinking of the tragic situation of these Kunlun slaves, everyone's sense of compassion suddenly arises.
Gu Bohong proposed: "Anyway, they are going to be used for sale, so why don't they take them to the east and west markets and see if anyone is willing to buy them? ”
"Gu Dazhi seems to have read a lot of strange idle books," Lu Mianzhi finally found an opportunity, and hurriedly sneered and sarcastically: "Have you forgotten that since the Taizu Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has explicitly prohibited slave ownership and human trafficking?"
"Hmph," Gu Bohong rolled his eyes and sneered, "Lord Lu is talking about what there is a way." If they don't sell it, will it be possible to support them? What contribution do they have to make to the Great Song Dynasty? Could it be that just because they are pitiful, they have to waste the court's money to feed them? There are more poor people in the world, and the court can raise them all?
"This ......" asked like a cannon, leaving Lu Mianzhi speechless.
Xu Yaoling cautiously asked: "Everyone, if you let them work and work like the Song people, would it be good? These Kunlun slaves are hard-working, and there must be employers who are willing to hire them." ”
This is by far the most reliable method.
But it was still denied.
Yao Hongyi, who was in charge of the household department, objected: "Lord Xu, according to your method, what kind of nationality should these Kunlun slaves be naturalized?
The atmosphere was awkward again.
In the end, it was the official family who broke the silence: "Xu Qing's family." ”
"The minister is here. ”
"Kunlun Nu first handed over to the envoy of the Three Buddhas for temporary care, and the matter of disposal will be discussed later. ”
"Obey. ”
"What do you do with the two messengers?"
Ge Mincai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, accompanied and took care of it. ”
The official pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Ye Mingcheng?"
is also a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, compared with Ge Mincai, who has a straightforward temper, the careful and peaceful Ye Mingcheng seems to be more reassuring.
Xu Yaoling replied: "Official, there is still a matter of receiving Liao envoys at the moment......
"Well, then let's deal with it according to Xu Qing's family's arrangement. ”
"Xie Guan's family. ”
……
Outside the Wende Palace, more than a dozen important ministers of the court left one after another.
Liu Xin and Wen Yanbo deliberately walked slowly and walked last.
Wen Yanbo cautiously still asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you let me talk about the three million yuan?"
