It is a good idea to send people to Annan, after all, in the Tang Dynasty, it was more terrible than cutting off the head when it was sent to Lingnan. What is the end of the world, the land of smoke miasma, the land of poisonous insects, the unbearable heat...... Just thinking about it makes people's scalp tingle and shiver.

Annan is even farther away than Lingnan, and sending officials and gentry over is definitely worse than death, and this punishment is enough.

But will there be an accident with so much garbage distributed to Annan?

Both Seo and Lee were skeptical.

"Master Hou, the old man heard that the people of Annan are fierce, obedient and barbaric, in case of provoking a civil uprising and the soldiers will end up in trouble, it will not be good. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Annan has often rebelled, and every time it takes a lot of effort, lest the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Ye Hua smiled indifferently, "The gains outweigh the losses, so find a way to make what you gain more than you lose!" ”

Li Yu and Xu Xuan frowned, what oil and water does Annan have? The labor expedition, no matter how you look at it, you lose more and earn less, and you can't see what is cheap!

"You're still too honest, and your brains are too rigid!"

Wei Renpu turned out from behind the screen and said with a straight face: "Don't you know that Da Zhou has captured more than 100,000 barbarians, all of whom are placed in Hedong and Youzhou!" ”

Xu Xuan really hadn't heard of it, "What are you doing to catch barbarians?" They have no other skills than fighting and killing. ”

Li Yu, who is an embroidered messenger, is very clear, he explained to Xu Xuan: "There are many minerals and farms in Hedong, which require coolies, and every year the surrounding army will cross the line of the Great Wall to sweep the barbarians and capture laborers!" ”

"Ahh

Seo Hyun was stupid.

Da Zhou is also too violent!

Didn't they all barbarians plunder the Han people and go to the grasslands to be slaves?

When did the Han people go to catch the barbarians?

Not to say that he didn't know, he was startled when he said it, and the awe in Xu Xuan's eyes became even stronger.

Ye Hua said: "After all, the barbarians in the grassland are limited, and they are constantly migrating to the depths of the desert, so it is very difficult to arrest them. So the best source of slaves is the South. From Annam, the men were sent to the minerals in Hedong and to the cement and ordnance workshops, and the women were sent to the textile workshops in Jinling. ”

Ye Hua said again: "The weaver is very bitter, when the silk is peeled off, he has to put his hand into the hot water, take out the silk, and the skin of the fingers falls off layer by layer, which is very pitiful." Let us do this kind of work by ourselves, and we don't pay much wages, can we not be resentful! ”

Li Yu and Xu Xuan looked at each other, which was a deep feeling!

Who did that?

Isn't it Li Hongji?

The weavers are tired and tired for a day, and they can't buy two catties of food, and they can't even support themselves, let alone their families. The people's grievances are boiling, the people's hearts are scattered, Ye Hua crossed the river with five thousand hussars, and Jiangnan collapsed, the lesson is really profound enough!

Why didn't they, the courtiers of Jiangnan, think of using outsiders as coolies?

What a damn one!

Wei Renpu said: "If we use the people of Annan as slaves and transport them back to the Great Zhou, the land will be empty, and we can settle the people there." When our people have gained a foothold, they will take more slaves while farming...... In a few years, their lives will be prosperous, which is extraordinary! Moving overseas is not a chore, but a good opportunity to get rich! ”

Ye Hua also added: "After opening up overseas, we can have a large amount of grain to transport back, with food supply, our city can develop, buy grain from overseas, and then sell our goods overseas, back and forth, the economy can run at high speed, continue to expand, rich country and strong army, it is not far away!" ”

……

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"

Coming out of Ye Hua's residence, Xu Xuan burst into tears, and he felt that he had lived in vain.

In the past, I only knew about the opposition, why didn't I think about it properly? With the strength of the Tang Navy Division in the south, if you attack Annam, the chances of victory will not be small.

Then rob Annam's population and land to fill the Southern Tang ...... All the problems in Jinling will disappear, and it will become stronger and stronger, maybe there will be a chance to compete in the Central Plains and really compete with Da Zhou!

Speaking of which, the Southern Tang Dynasty collapsed violently, and Li Hongji cannot be blamed entirely, it is also our ministers who are incompetent!

Shame, shame!

Xu Xuan kept shaking his head and sighing.

Li Yu suddenly chuckled and said, "Master Xu, do you think this matter is easy?" He said very politely: "Han Xianggong proposed Juntian, but it can't be implemented, and how many of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can agree to this kind of proposition?" They will say that the benevolent and righteous teachers of the kingdom cannot bully the weak, and the army is on an expedition, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable, and the Holy Son of Heaven must cultivate virtue and Huaiyuan, educate with benevolence and righteousness, move the barbarians, attack the city as the bottom, and attack the heart as the top...... Does Mr. Xu think so? ”

Xu Xuan sighed helplessly, who said it wasn't!

The Southern Tang Dynasty was tied hand and foot by all kinds of hypocritical claims, and it was impossible to open and close, so the country was ruined. Now they are all courtiers of the Great Zhou, but fortunately, the Emperor of the Great Zhou is brave and brave, and he does everything.

It was a good time for their courtiers to show their strength and repay the emperor's kindness.

Xu Xuan looked up at the gray sky for a while, and spit out two words from the corners of his mouth: "Arrest people!" ”

Da Zhou has always been resolute, and as soon as the order was given, the arrest operation was launched.

More than 100 officials, along with their families, were taken down, and in five days, the prison in Jinling was filled, and a separate vacant land outside the city had to be opened up and a straw hut was set up to lock people up.

Among the many officials, Li Deming didn't run away, you know, he can hold the third ivory card in his hand, the original life-saving charm has become a life-urging charm, and the Li family is like an ant on a hot pot, desperately thinking of a way to save his life.

There are not many people who can speak now, Xu Xuan and Li Yu's hands, Chen Qiao and Pan Chengyou hate Li Deming and others, and there is only one Han Xizai left, and it seems that it is still possible.

However, Han Xizai went to inspect Fuzhou and other places, and persuaded the officials from all over the country to return to the Great Zhou, and the people were not in Jinling.

They hit the idea on Mrs. Ren.

Coincidentally, Mrs. Ren and the wife of the champion Hou are good friends, and through the Mrs. route, they can directly reach the sky.

Three days later, a servant woman of the Han family, holding a gift slip, walked into Madame's room.

"Girl, my uncle just got married, so he went on an expedition, leaving the girl alone, it's really pitiful, we people can't bear to look at it!"

Miss Han smiled indifferently, "The young woman in the boudoir doesn't know how to worry, and she condenses her makeup on the green building in spring." Suddenly, I saw a strange willow color, and the penitent husband was looking for a marquis. ”

"When I was a child, I memorized this poem, but I always didn't understand, is there anything wrong with paying homage to the marquis! But now I understand that two people can stay together, better than anything else. However, Xianggong said that when he went to sea this time, he would do his best to cultivate a few people, and after a few years, they would be able to take charge on their own, and Xianggong would not have to work so hard. ”

The old woman smiled: "Don't look at my uncle as a rough person, but when you talk about it, you really know the pain and the heat, and you hold the girl in the palm of your hand, and the slave and maid look envious." ”

The old woman said, sat next to Miss Han, and said in a low voice: "My uncle is so promising, it must be very important in the heart of the saint, right?" Call, call Jane in the emperor's heart! ”

The corners of Miss Han's mouth rose slightly, "There are no admirals in Da Zhou, so I have to do this." ”

The old woman seemed to be encouraged and became more unscrupulous.

"Girl, in this way, with the status of my uncle, who do you want to live, is it a matter of one sentence?"

Miss Han heard that something was wrong, frowned, and became alert, "You, who are you talking for?" ”

The old woman hurriedly said: "Girl, the slave doesn't dare to eat inside and out, but someone found the slave and said that Li Tianguan had a grievance, and he was framed by Xu Xuan!" I want to find someone to help him get justice. ”

Miss Han's face was gloomy, "What is justice?" I'm a woman, and I don't know anything about the court! ”

"Oh, my girl, my uncle is a hero, and my lord is deeply appreciated by His Majesty, and the girl is now also a friend of Mrs. Ye, just say a word, it is more effective than others' ten sentences and hundreds of sentences!" The old woman's tone was exaggerated.

"Shut up!"

Miss Han flicked her sleeves and said angrily: "I pity you for your old age, let you serve by your side, the major affairs of the court, how can you, an old woman, be involved!" ”

After speaking, Miss Han was so angry that she didn't look back, and walked out directly, she was full of anger, passed through the moon gate, and walked out not far away, which was the garden.

Fu San was resting in the pavilion, Miss Han hesitated for a moment, then walked over, puffed up, and told the matter again, she complained: "What's the matter with these courtiers, they actually hit me with their ideas, it's really pervasive!" ”

Fu San listened quietly, this is the reason why she took Miss Han into the mansion.

"Li Deming is an old minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he is also a secretary of the ministry, and many of the old ministers are from their disciples...... He is different from Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao, those two are lonely ministers, and His Majesty can use them boldly with confidence. But Li Deming is different, no matter what, he will fall! ”

Fu San said: "Of course, with Ling Zun, or General Ren's status, he may be able to keep him, but this account will be counted on the heads of Ling Zun and General Ren!" ”

Miss Han's face flushed, her chest fell together, and she said in fear: "If it weren't for Madame's guidance, how could the slave family figure out these things, and it would really hurt you to speak rashly." Miss Han admired Fu San more and more, don't look younger than herself, other people's knowledge can't catch up with herself.

"I'll expel that old servant woman from the house when I turn around, I don't dare to use such a slave."

Fu San shook his head, "The people around me are not afraid of being stupid and stupid, but they are afraid that they have too many ideas and too fancy thoughts, and they will be expelled from them." ”

Fu San said again: "That Li Deming begged you to intercede, but what gift did you take?" ”

Miss Han was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I was so angry that I didn't ask." ”

Fu San said: "It's okay, since he asked for your head, then I will give him a big gift!" ”

Miss Han suddenly felt a chill, Fu San's exposed tiger teeth were shining, it was like a little devil possessed! How will she clean up Li Deming?

In the barracks outside the city, Li Deming, and some prisoners were sitting under the grass hut, hiding from the sun outside...... Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed in, each carrying a wooden stick in his hand.

"All stand up, from now on, you are the first batch of armed immigrants, and all of you will receive three months of military training!"
