On both sides of the Bianshui River in August, there is already a bit of slaughter, and the leaves of the willow trees on the shore slowly turn yellow, and then fall, which makes people feel a little sad.

There are a little more boats on the river than in spring and summer, but it is still depressed and cold compared to autumn in previous years. The depression caused by the money-induced crisis continued, and the exodus of a large number of children from the Kaifeng clan exacerbated the depression.

In the past few months, the shops and vendors in Kaifeng Mansion have fallen by at least 30%! With the wave of bankruptcies, the unemployment problem in Kaifeng Province has also become very serious, and the city is full of poor people who have no food and clothing. At the same time, the city's pledge warehouses, pawnshops, loan sharks, and human trafficking all ushered in a period of prosperity that had not been seen for many years.

Interest rates were kept low during the years when money was overflowing, and because the currency had been slowly inflating, it was relatively easy for ordinary people to repay their debts.

However, after the money-led crisis, a large number of small and medium-sized financial institutions collapsed, and large banks also tightened their monetary policies. The market interest rate has also skyrocketed because the money has basically withdrawn from circulation, and the annual interest rate of pledged loans has reached at least 20 or more!

That's at least! It is the interest rate of borrowing between big businessmen and big landowners. It's not something that anyone can borrow......

Those small people who need to rely on loans to survive are really difficult and difficult at this time.

Some of them really have no choice but to sell their sons and daughters and sell themselves...... Oh, by the way, the price of humans around Kaifeng Mansion actually did not fall due to the huge increase in supply. Rather, it remains flat and in high demand.

Whether it is a slave or an indentured slave, a indentured servant is a indentured laborer, not a slave, or a strong worker, a female slave, or a child, the price is rising steadily. And the whereabouts of these slaves and maids and indentured slaves, needless to say, are, of course, the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Republic and the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate.

Zhou's industry and commerce are also relatively sluggish now, and they don't need much labor. However, the large number of knights' manors and government soldier granges in the Zhou State needed to supplement labor, because the conquest of Goryeo by the Zhou State made a large number of rural strong laborers get the opportunity to carp to jump over the dragon gate, either through the meritorious service of the soldier to obtain the grange, or to become the beneficiaries of the 100,000 households immigration plan to give 50 acres of land per household, two exemptions and three halves.

The knights and government soldiers who lost their customers had no choice but to buy people......

It was at this time that the Great Depression occurred in the Central Plains of the Song Kingdom, and many displaced people went to the Zhou State to make a living, and some were sold to the Zhou State as commodities by human traffickers.

Human trafficking is, of course, subject to severe criticism!

However, this criminal trade did alleviate the class contradictions in the Central Plains to a certain extent, and also allowed the Han population of the Zhou State to increase much higher than that of other ethnic groups, and at the same time, the agricultural production of the Zhou State would not decline due to the lack of labor.

As for the criminal trade of human trafficking into the territory of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, there is no doubt that it is the fault of the notorious Great Colonizer Ji Yi.

In the past many years, the dominance of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate has been in Ji Yi's hands.

Under his leadership, the Nanyang Protectorate consolidated its rule in the Sriwijaya Strait. Using wars and various conspiracies, the Sriwijaya Kingdom gradually collapsed and turned it into a direct territory of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate.

On the other hand, the Nanyang Prefecture also launched a military conquest of the island of Java.

After a long and brutal campaign, the fertile and flat island was finally brought under control.

With fertile territory, of course, it will be developed! The local population of Java suffered huge losses in the war, and the bad things were all done by Ji Yi and Fang La, and Wu Haogu did not know, and the rest was not an ideal agricultural labor force. Therefore, the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate authorities thought of the way to spend money to buy landlords.

That's right, it's the landlords who spend money to buy it to Nanyang! Therefore, they had to buy one household at a time, and when they arrived in Java, they would give 100 acres of paddy fields and cattle, farming tools, seeds, rations, weapons, and indigenous combat use, and then two exemptions and three halves.

It looks good, but it's actually a history of blood and tears! Those who capsized and drowned at sea, those who died of disease and soil disadaptation, those who died of malaria on the island of Java, and those who died in a fight with the natives, it was really a group of people!

This is not counting, the peasants of the Central Plains who received land, ploughing cattle, farm tools, seeds, rations, and weapons still have the obligation to be soldiers.

They are the soldiers of the Nanyang Metropolitan Protectorate, usually naval oarsmen and deck hand-to-hand combatmen! However, unlike serving as a soldier in the Central Plains and Zhou Kingdom, the rich Nanyang Protectorate will pay them salaries. Moreover, the military is very high, and there are many opportunities to participate in robbery...... In short, it is a paradise for adventurers!

When Ji Yi's official ship docked at the dock, there was a group of future Nanyang big landlords and bullies crying and being escorted onto the gang boat by vicious human traffickers.

The leaders of the traffickers were two black men, one of whom was tall and burly, with a beard like steel needles, and who carried a stick in his hand, and who would not go to the boat and struck him twice.

One is a five-short figure, and his face is full of kindness and persuasion: "Don't cry, don't cry, go to Nanyang, not to fill the army...... Nanyang is good, you won't go hungry, everyone has food, everyone has clothes, everyone has good paddy fields to cultivate, and if you don't have a mother-in-law, you can get an indigenous lady. If Song Jiang hadn't been old, he would have wanted to go to Nanyang. ”

Ji Yi listened to the words of this black guy, and just smiled bitterly.

Nanyang is good, to ensure that you will not starve, let alone freeze, and the land is fertile, the most important thing can also be received for free, and the indigenous lady can also receive it for free after each war of aggression...... It's not good at all, it's too easy to die!

Those who were driven onto the ship by these two black profiteers would have to die in three years...... Maybe more!

Traffickers go to Nanyang to make a living, which is really a big loss of yin morality!

When Ji Yi felt a little guilty in his heart, someone had already discovered him, an important minister from Jiaozhi.

Ji Yi's pomp was very large, and there were a lot of people in his entourage, most of whom had tanned skin. Moreover, there are many servants who are obviously from the Lingnan and Jiaozhi areas, and they are obviously officials who entered Beijing from the south. Such pomp and circumstance is definitely not a petty official, and the high-ranking officials who have recently gone north from Lingnan and Jiaozhi have only one Ji Yi.

"But is it a bachelor of the chronicles?"

Ji Yi suddenly heard someone shouting his name, turned his head to look, and saw a Confucian scholar in his thirties with a dignified appearance walking towards him, and then bowed: "The late student is too much to learn Chen Dong, and I have seen Bachelor Ji." ”

"Chen Dong?" Ji Yi thought about it, and hurriedly returned the salute, "You are Danyang Chen Shaoyang, you have admired it for a long time." ”

The reputation of Chen Dong of the Liberation Party is not under the madness of Kang Liang! Although Ji Yi is a high-ranking official, he still has to be polite when he sees such a Taixue leader.

Otherwise, even if he worships the prime minister in the future, he will have a lot of trouble.

If possible, he also plans to include Chen Dong and Zhang Jun, the two thorns. Although there are a bunch of staff members under Ji Yi's command who can do things, there is no person who can be called the leader of Shilin.

It would be even better if we could find the mad Kang Liang to help in the future!

……

"Führer, a letter sent by Mi Xianggong from Kaifeng."

Su Yan handed over the letter he had just received to Wu Haogu, who was sitting in the inner hall of the palace of the head of Tianjin City.

Wu Haogu's "summer vacation" in Chengde had long since ended, and he returned to Tianjin in late June, and then he was once again caught up in a busy schedule of official business.

"What's the matter?" Wu Haogu knew that Su Yan had already read the letter, so he asked.

"Ji Yizhi has returned to Kaifeng Mansion."

"Oh." Wu Haogu nodded. Mi Youren has been in Kaifeng Mansion for a while, just waiting to meet Ji Yi.

Now Zhao Ji is becoming more and more obsessed with arithmetic and Taoism, slacking off government affairs, and is also accustomed to relying on the ruling to deal with government affairs.

And Cai Jing's judgment of Xiangyang Mansion and Ji Yi's entry into the dynasty means a comprehensive adjustment of the ruling team of the Great Song Dynasty. Cai Jing's "old party" has fully ebbed, and the "new party" headed by Ji Yi has begun to take charge of the political affairs hall.

In the process of power transfer, the Great Song Dynasty court was in a state of chaos.

"Have you seen Ji Yizhi?" Wu Haogu unfolded the letter and asked Su Yan.

"I've seen it." Su Yan replied, "Ji Yizhi agreed to the establishment of the East China Sea State and the two countries to be close to each other. ”

This was to be expected. Because Zhao Ji had already nodded, how could Ji Yi object?

Wu Haogu didn't ask again, but looked at it himself. In addition to the establishment of the East China Sea Kingdom and the marriage between the two countries, the letter also mentioned Ji Yi Xuanma's affairs, as well as Ji Yixuanma's interactions with the retro party before and after.

The day after Ji Yi arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, he entered the pair more and more, and then received the edict of Xuanma. did not let him be the deputy minister, but gave the dispatch of Shaozai and Zhongshu Shilang in one step.

This "Shaozai" is to replace the original "right servant shooting" as the deputy prime minister's official title, and changing the official title is a part of the political and restructuring system presided over by Cai Jing. Cai Jing's original role as the left servant and the servant of the door was also changed to Dazai and the servant of the door, and now this position belongs to He Zhizhong.

In addition to Ji Yi, Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong in the New Party camp also returned to the imperial court. Among them, Zhang Shuye replaced Deng Xunwu as the Privy Councillor, and Zhang Kegong served as Shangshu Zuocheng, that is, the deputy minister.

In addition, Jin Shi Bai Shizhong, who was one term earlier than Ji Yi, also had to worship Shangshu Youcheng.

In this way, the six governors of the political hall will be He Zhizhong, Ji Yi, Liu Zhengfu, Yu Shen, Zhang Kegong, and Bai Shizhong. The Privy Council is jointly headed by Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze, Tong Guan, and Hou Meng.

Of the 10 governors, the new party occupies six seats and the old party occupies four seats, and it is clear that the new party has come to power.

"Draft a letter for me," Wu Haogu said, "first, congratulations to Ji Yizhi on his visit; The second is to propose to take the opportunity of the marriage of Yiyong and Princess Qingde to hold a meeting in Tianjin to discuss and sign an agreement on the division of Nanyang and the tariffs between the two countries. ”
