218. Liberate the natives
"Can one shot knock out three products?"
There was no sadness in Lin Yi's tone, most of the people in Tian Shiyou's hands were outlaws, and basically every hand had human lives on their hands, if they really died, the world would be pure.
He doesn't feel sorry at all.
He was more surprised and excited in his heart!
A cannon that can kill a martial arts master is exactly what he dreamed of!
Wouldn't it be better if this thing fell into your own hands?
"Lord Wang, it's true,"
Ge Laoshan swore and said, "The little one has seen the corpse, and the scum can't be found after being bombed, it's miserable, it's too powerful."
In the end, Tian Shiyou was afraid of this cannon, and brought someone to serve it at night, otherwise he didn't know how he would be unlucky.
And this musket, it's better than ours, and I almost didn't hit it, that thing is so fierce, it's just impossible to prevent. ”
"And muskets,"
Lin Yi was even happier, "It seems that these foreign devils are still a bit level." ”
For the first time, he felt a real surprise.
"Foreign devils?
It's still the right word for the prince, but it looks like a ghost, it's scary,"
Ge Laoshan continued, "They relied on the strength of their ships and guns to occupy the southern side of the South Seas, enslaved the natives, and let them work, but the natives couldn't resist if they wanted to. ”
Lin Yi smiled and said, "The ship is better than ours?" ”
Ge Laoshan nodded and said, "I really can't see where the boat is powerful, anyway, if it really runs, our big ship can't catch up."
In the battle at sea, Du Sanhe was not their opponent, and he had suffered a defeat, and in the end, Du Sanhe was still waiting for them to go ashore and solve them on the shore. ”
"Du Sanhe has suffered losses?"
The expression on Lin Yi's face became more and more exciting, "It seems that these foreigners still have some real skills." ”
"Yes, Du Sanhe's boat also has to dodge a little bit of the foreign devil's cannon, otherwise what about Jiupin, if he falls into the sea, he can't swim on the shore for ten days and half a month, and he will starve to death if he can't drown,"
Ge Laoshan continued, "And this foreigner is not the same as a foreigner, it seems that they belong to different countries, and they speak with different accents.
It's like let's educate people. ”
"I understand this,"
Lin Yi said with a smile, "The big ships, cannons, and muskets you captured will show Lord Shanqi, and ask him to find someone from the dock to go to Haosheng to study, and be a man, you can't be short-sighted, you must learn more from others' strengths." ”
"Lord ......"
Ge Laoshan's face pulled the elder.
The big ship was captured by them, so it can't be given to the chief secretary for nothing, right?
"Look at your appearance,"
Lin Yi said angrily, "When you were doing maritime trade, this king seems to have confiscated the money for your shipping license, right?" ”
Hearing Lin Yi say this, Ge Laoshan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the grass people are going to see Lord Shan!" ”
Compared with a shipping license, how much money does a broken ship cost?
So I didn't hesitate to agree.
"Wait,"
Lin Yi shouted to him, "This king asked you, how many foreigners have you arrested this time?" ”
Ge Laoshan said, "There are more than 100 grass people here, more than 500 Tian Shiyou, and more than 400 other families, and there should be more than 1,000 people, men, women and children."
The big ships of Liang Gen, Qiu Wujin and others have not yet returned, and if you add theirs, I am afraid there will be even more. ”
Lin Yi stood up, paced back and forth in the hall, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xizi, give a message to Lord Shan, from now on, Sanhe prohibits human trafficking, whether it is a foreigner or a native, it is the same." ”
"Lord ....."
Ge Laoshan was directly stunned.
Stopping human trafficking is not just a matter of words, but of an order!
Many Sanhe people have interests in buying and selling local people!
If one is not handled well, I am afraid that it will really cause public anger.
Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Just let Lord Shan come over." ”
"Yes."
Xiao Xizi retreated directly.
Ge Laoshan still stood in front of Lin Yi stubbornly.
Shanqi, Wang Qingbang and others came quickly, and when they heard that Lin Yi was going to ban human trafficking, like Ge Laoshan, they were all shocked.
In Baiyun City in front of you, who doesn't have one or two natives?
It's really implicated!
Shanqi arched his hand and said, "Please think twice." ”
"All the natives of the past have also regained their freedom, and they will be purchased from the lord's house at the bid of the chief minister, and if the money is insufficient, the land will be given to them."
Lin Yi said while drinking tea, "This matter is not negotiable.
The chief secretary restored their freedom, and those who were willing to farm were given land, and those who were willing to work were looking for work, and now roads were being built everywhere, and even the roads were built very well. ”
In hindsight, he finally sensed that something was wrong with human trafficking.
Sanhe is not the Americas after all, and there is no shortage of people to the point where slavery is needed to maintain development.
Let these maritime merchants continue to mess around, and it won't be long before the population ratio of Sanhe will be out of balance!
When the time comes, the natives will be able to become the main body, and they, the natives, will become a minority!
If it drags on any longer, the contradictions between the natives and the natives will become more and more intense, and it will not be good to form civil strife.
Moreover, shackling these labor forces into the hands of individuals is not conducive to the development of the productive forces of Sanhe.
Ge Laoshan couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang, what will happen to the captured captives in the future?" ”
Lin Yi said, "Send them all to the political secretary, let them build roads, and give them a chance to make up for their mistakes."
Good adults, make it clear to everyone, take a long-term view, this world is far bigger than we imagined, and only by grabbing land and business can we make a lot of money, what can we do in human trafficking?
Moreover, where did these foreign devils come from and what they did when they came to Nanyang, ask all the interpreters to see if there is an opportunity to do business together.
Of course, if they have to refuse the king's kindness and ask where their hometown is, the king himself will come to the door and ask. ”
"Yes."
Shanqi saw that Lin Yi had no room for negotiation, so he had to respond hard.
As he expected, on the second day, the announcement of the prohibition of human trafficking and the release of the natives caused an uproar in Baiyun City.
Many people can't understand why the natives they spend money to buy are good for themselves to take care of their children, farm, cook, serve water and pour tea?
Some people are ready to hold on to the death and see what they can do to themselves!
However, within two days, the Liang family, the Wang family, the Hu family and other big families began to take the initiative to release the natives.
Sanhe people began to panic a little.
Big families like the Liang family and the Wang family have done this, what else can they ordinary people do?
They were afraid of the law of Sanhe, and although they were angry, they still obediently sent the natives to the Yamen of the Political Division.
Shanqi himself didn't expect that Sanhe people would be so obedient, and they couldn't arrange so many natives at once, so they were simply sent to the construction site of the road.
The most difficult thing is that the money in his hand is not enough, and a strong native has to ask for one or two silver now!
Therefore, we can only try to let those lords take the land.
It's a pity that all the good things are said, it's useless, just money!
Spring ploughing began.
The Sanhe people, who have been accustomed to using the natives, have a sad face.
With so much land, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on a few people of their own race, and there is no way, they have to find the former natives of their family again, but this time, they not only have to take care of food, but also have to pay wages.
It's hard to say.
The only consolation is that the wages of the natives are cheaper than those of the displaced people in Nanzhou and Yuezhou.
"What the fuck is this called!"
Tian Shiyou looked at the natives dragging their families on the big boat, and scolded.
These natives were all kidnapped back by them, the maritime merchants, but they never imagined that they would be sent back in person!
Many natives have participated in the expedition to Ayu and Yuezhou, and the people will rob it, and the natives are not stupid, so they will naturally rob it, and many people have secretly saved their money.
At this moment, I was free, homesick, but everyone who could afford a ferry ticket couldn't wait to get on the big ship of the maritime merchants.
"Uncle Tian,"
A dark and thin old man walked up to Tian Shiyou and knelt down in front of him and said, "Your kindness will never be forgotten for the rest of your life." ”
"Grandma is a bear, your official words are more slippery than Lao Tzu,"
Tian Shiyou said angrily, "I will tell you first, I can only send you to Lubin, and you can figure out the rest by yourself." ”
The old man hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I am grateful for this!" ”
Tian Shiyou continued, "You have to be mentally prepared, do you see those big noses?"
They have already occupied your lair, and if you can get it when you go back, you can think clearly. ”
The old man cried, "Even if the old man dies, he will die at home!" ”
Tian Shiyou glanced at the people on the boat, and snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know, you bastards are secretly learning kung fu." ”
The old man was stunned, and his whole body shivered as if he were sifting chaff.
"Okay, as if no one knows,"
Tian Shiyou said impatiently, "It's you old man who has been making trouble inside, encouraging you clansmen to practice martial arts secretly, but he has a bit of eyesight and knows that our Sanhe's kung fu is powerful." ”
"Don't dare!"
Cold sweat ran down the old man's forehead and fell onto the deck.
"Hmph,"
Tian Shiyou glanced at the rising sun, "I didn't say what I wanted to do to you, anyway, you are lucky, and the prince is merciful, let you go, in the future, you can't be fucking ungrateful, you must always remember the kindness of the prince." ”
In fact, he can gradually understand what he means with the prince, that is, let these natives who have a relationship with Sanhe go back, and use the natives to control the foreigners!
And if you think about it again, these natives have more people in Sanhe, which is really not a good thing!
"Never dare to forget the kindness of the prince!"
The old man wept bitterly.
"Your name is Dag?"
"Yes."
"I remember you."
Tian Shiyou laughed after speaking, and then yelled, "Don't fuck it, prepare Zhang Fan." ”
The deck was suddenly busy.
Under the morning glow, fifteen big ships set sail at the same time, going down the river, mighty.
Lin Yi lay shirtless under the grape trellis, holding the teacup, and took two sips from time to time.
