Chapter 374: Five Million Laborers
Bailisha doesn't understand, people are willing to give 500 million, why do we take the initiative to reduce 300 million to others.
"Your Majesty, you don't want them 500 million, are you worried that they won't be able to pay it back?" Berisha asked.
Gao Junshan smiled: "Did I say I don't want them 500 million?" β
Tian Wenju said: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that you only need them 200 million?" β
Gao Junshan explained: "As long as there are 200 million silver, the other 300 million will be repaid by them with labor. β
"Labor?" Bailisha asked inexplicably, "What is labor?" β
Gao Junshan said: "Isn't the construction of the railway in our mountainous area stopped? Why the shutdown? β
Liu Hongru hurriedly replied: "I know this, because it is risky to build a railway in the mountainous area and there are too many dead people, so His Majesty stopped the railway construction project in the mountainous area." β
Regarding what labor is, Gao Junshan explained according to his own logic: "Labor is to send the strong labor force of their country to our country to do labor-intensive work for us, and these labor forces are called laborers." β
Bailisha seemed to understand, and said: "I want the people of the island country to build the railroad for us free of charge, and use these laborers to offset the debts they owe us." β
Tian Wenju pondered for a moment and said, "This seems unrealistic!" Three hundred million silver, how many people will they have to pay off these debts? β
Gao Junshan said: "I have a plan, I want them to send us five million laborers, if these laborers flee, die of illness, or die of accident halfway or during the labor, they must make up for us according to the number of heads, that is to say, in our country, we must maintain the number of five million laborers, as long as among these five million laborers, there is a flight or death, we are not responsible, they must give us the number." β
"If they died in the course of labor, whose fault would it be?" β
Gao Junshan said: "I don't care how they died, I just need five million people alive." β
Gao Junshan was very excited about this plan, and for the purpose of repaying debts, let them send the little devils to build the railroad for us, which was much stronger than if we forcibly arrested them to build the railway, and in Gao Junshan's plan, as long as all the eight railways in the country were opened, it would not be too late to implement the "eating melon" plan, and at that time, Lao Tzu would destroy them on the grounds that he had not paid off the arrears. Anyway, the knife and gun are in my hands, when to cut the meat, that's Lao Tzu's business.
Thinking of this, Gao Junshan couldn't help but smile secretly, to deal with the little devil, he had to cut it slowly one by one.
Cai Zhishan asked: "Their condition is that we withdraw from the island country, and after signing a peace treaty with them, can we withdraw our troops?" β
"Withdrawal?" Gao Junshan pursed his lips, "If they don't pay off the 500 million, we will never withdraw our troops!" β
Bailisha asked: "Your Majesty, where are we going to talk to them, and who to send as representatives, do you want to consider it?" β
Gao Junshan said: "Don't think about it, I have already thought about it, the venue for the negotiation is located in Maguan Port, Xiaguan City, Yamaguchi County, the island country, and Jiang Guorong will be sent as the negotiator." You draw up a specific negotiation plan and inform Jiang Guorong. β
Cai Zhishan asked: "Your Majesty, can we stop attacking the island nation?" β
"The attack can be stopped, the troops can enter a defensive posture, and at the same time notify the North Korean army to advance and retreat with us." Steep mountain trails.
Cai Zhishan asked again: "Can the recruit division suspend ......?" β
Before Cai Zhishan's question was finished, Gao Junshan interrupted him: "Thirty recruit divisions will be put into the island country as planned, and we can promise the island country that there will be no war, but the occupied area must be controlled by us." β
"Yes!"
Gao Junshan stood up and said: "We have been discussing for a long time, you have all worked hard, go back and rest early, and make a plan as soon as possible after you go back." Heyββ, Bolan stays, I still have something to ask you. β
After the emperor spoke, the courtiers said goodbye one after another, and after Bai Lisha, Liu Hongru, and Tian Wenju left, Gao Junshan beckoned Cai Zhishan to sit down again.
Gao Junshan touched the teapot, the teapot was already cold, and he shouted outside the door: "Li Derong, make a pot of hot tea and come in." β
After a while, a maid with a teapot came in, the maid was very nimble, after she put down the teapot, she wiped the water stains on the teatable with a rag, and then cleaned up the countertop, picked up the cold teapot, bowed to Gao Junshan, and then exited the study.
Gao Junshan motioned for Cai Zhishan to drink tea, and then asked, "How has Wei Xiaobao been studying lately?" β
Cai Zhishan didn't know why Gao Junshan suddenly asked Wei Xiaobao of his family, but he still answered Gao Junshan's question truthfully: "Thanks to Your Majesty's concern, Xiaobao seems to have been obsessed with English recently, and every morning by the pond in our family's back garden, he recites English with a whin. β
Gao Junshan said: "This kid can still be saved, he told me that he wants to enter the Foreign Affairs Academy, it seems that he is indeed working hard!" β
"Xiaobao told me that he had seen the emperor, I still don't believe it, so he really saw His Majesty."
"Your Xiaobao is very good friends of the eighth sister, Xiaobao is doing homework with the eighth sister in the palace, and when the eighth sister left him to eat in the palace, I dealt with him." Gao Junshan explained.
Cai Zhishan said in fear: "Xiaobao, this person is a ghostly and clever, if there is any behavior that offends His Majesty, please also ask Your Majesty to punish Zhishan." β
Gao Junshan laughed: "Bolan doesn't need to panic, Xiaobao, this kid I also like very much, he is shrewd and has excellent adaptability." And I have a close relationship with the eighth sister, maybe our two families ......"
Cai Zhishan breathed a sigh of relief: "Ohββ! Your Majesty is looking for someone to talk to? β
Gao Junshan said: "I am against arranged marriages, the eighth sister and Xiaobao are still young, and now they are just classmates, and how they develop in the future depends on their creation." Maybe Xiaobao really became a quick son-in-law of Chenglong, and if that was the case, I still hope that he will develop in the field of diplomacy. β
Cai Zhishan was so moved that he didn't know what to say: "Thanks to Your Majesty's love, Zhishan is grateful!" β
Gao Junshan reminded: "You have to supervise Xiaobao's study well, whether he can be reused by me depends on his true ability." β
"I'll discipline you strictly!"
Gao Junshan asked again: "Don't you know about Xiaobao eating in the palace?" At that time, I left Xiaobao with your family's consent. β
Cai Zhishan said: "Zhishan really doesn't know, maybe Zhishan happened to be not in the mansion that day." β
"Oh," Gao Junshan nodded, then picked up the teacup and said, "It's cold, drinking more tea is good for your health!" β
Gao Junshan knows Wei Xiaobao's ability, and under Jin Yong's pen, he is the Duke of Lu Ding and a first-class viscount. He has the heart to cultivate this Wei Xiaobao, if nothing else, he will tie the knot with the eighth sister, and Gao Junshan plans to let him go to the UK.
