117 But those who are not of my race shall have different hearts
"Three thousand acres of land, if the Shen family needs it, it will be returned to you." Zhang Shanlu stared at Shen Yue and said calmly, "Bringing up the matter of marrying the two families is originally for better cooperation, so that you can also develop in officialdom." There is a shortage of people in the imperial court today, and there are not a few exceptions to be promoted......"
"Zhang Yuanwai, do you think the kid looks like a person who is interested in officialdom? Officialdom is deceitful, too tired! Shen Yue interrupted Zhang Shanlu's words.
"If you have no intention of official career, why do you pay so much attention to officialdom?" Zhang Shanlu asked Shen Yue rhetorically.
Shen Yueruo said that he didn't pay attention to officialdom, but he had a deep understanding of officialdom, and he wouldn't believe it when he said it.
"It is precisely because the kid has no intention of officialdom that he needs to find a strong backer. With a big backer, the kid can be a rich man with peace of mind, and he has nothing to do at home to count the silver and play. Eggs can't be put in one basket, and at the same time, naturally you can't trouble the third master in everything, right? Shen Yue picked up the tea bowl, skimmed off the foam with the lid, took a sip, and said.
The officialdom is dark, and being an official is too tiring, Shen Yue doesn't think that he can block all kinds of open knives and hidden guns after entering the officialdom.
It is ideal to work hard to earn money, build a large army loyal to himself, and buy more land to become a big landowner.
Zhang Shanlu was speechless.
"Our business has made such a big profit at the beginning, and it will soon be targeted. Being targeted forward, I hope that Mrs. Zhang can have a greater say in the court...... At the same time, more armed forces are needed to protect our business......"
"What do you think?" Zhang Peiju asked Shen Yue.
"If Xu Yaozong becomes the commander of Guanhaiwei Town, I will naturally be a thousand households in Longshan, and I will not be easy to be attacked by people for all kinds ......of problems," Shen Yue put forward the condition.
Zhang Shanlu's eyes widened like bull's eyes.
Shen Yue's request, how did he answer?
"If you want to become a thousand households in Longshan, it will be much easier, Xu Yaozong is only one or five thousand households, and if you want to be the commander of the three products, you have to go beyond the commander and know the same thing as the commander...... Why don't Xu Yaozong be promoted to a level and transferred, and you will serve as a thousand households? Zhang Shanlu frowned and said.
"It's really easier this way, if it's just Longshan, you can't avoid Guanhaiwei Town no matter what. Xu Yaozong accounts for 20%, and I only have 30% in my hands, if Guan Haiwei commands Sun Buren to come in, Zhang Yuanwai, how much do you think he wants? Not to mention the need to build more ships and train armed men to protect the maritime trade. Shen Yue didn't hide it.
Zhang Shanlu's brows were completely twisted together.
Shen Yue, this kid doesn't even want a fig leaf now.
"If the court asks, what is good?" It is clear that he wants to drag the Zhang family into the water.
Shen Yue didn't care about the imperial court at all, "The imperial court? If even such a thing should be considered a crime of rebellion, should Zheng Zhilong of Fujian cut off his head a long time ago? The scale is small, and the court ignores it; The scale is large, the court wants to manage, and has the heart to follow the money and grain? Only by letting someone serve as the commander of Guanhaiwei can the various imperial court control materials needed be easily obtained, and the safety is guaranteed! ”
Shen Yue was determined to do this, Xu Yaozong was also a partner in the business, and Xu Yaozong was the commander, which was of great benefit to Shen Yue's plan.
Xu Yaozong and Shen Yue are already in the same boat, but the Zhang family is left, and whether they get on the boat or not depends on how Zhang Peiju does this.
Zhang Shanlu also knew this, but he couldn't answer.
"After the workshop is built, the profit will be greater, in order to lower the cost in the future, I am ready to buy black slaves from the Franji people to be workers, and there is no need to pay wages......" Shen Yue, in order to persuade Zhang Shanlu and let him know that he was not asking too much, also told the plan behind it, "Around Longshan, in the future, I plan to build warships, cast guns, and produce various products of sea trade." In any case, the Longshan Institute cannot be left in the hands of others. If you feel that it doesn't matter, there is no need to continue to cooperate, and the silver will be returned to you or the profits will be shared. ”
Shen Yue threatened Zhang Shanlu.
Zhang Shanlu gritted his teeth and said, "When you gave away fifty percent of the shares cheaply, you were planning, right?" ”
Shen Yue was noncommittal.
"I can't answer what this matter is, I need to wait for my third uncle to reply." Zhang Shanlu didn't dare to agree to Shen Yue's request, he didn't know about the affairs of the court, but he also knew that the appointment of a third-grade official was absolutely impossible to do easily.
Shen Yue nodded.
"You said you wanted to buy black African slaves to work?" Zhang Shanlu asked suddenly.
"Yes, a black slave is about a hundred and fifty taels of silver. A large sum of silver is paid at the time of purchase, and only a small amount of food is paid later, and there is no need to pay wages, according to the current situation, a hired worker spends about 15 to 20 taels of silver a year, and the black slave can pay back in less than ten years. Shen Yue thought he was shrewd.
The children born to black slaves are still slaves, and they are all private property.
"This must not happen!" Zhang Shanlu said eagerly. "Many people in the north are displaced and hungry, and there is a chance to feed them and settle down, so why let foreigners come to ......"
Shen Yue didn't expect Zhang Shanlu to stop him.
He thought that Zhang Shanlu would support him, but now he can't see that his career will become bigger in the future, and the demand for manpower will be high, and the rest of the month will be tens of thousands of taels or more.
"It's true that a lot of people don't have enough to eat and are displaced. They are all dragging their families, and their wages are low, which is not enough to support their families, and they are prone to accidents...... Black slaves, don't think about that at all. ”
Shen Yue thought very clearly about this.
"Have you ever thought about what if there are more black slaves in my Ming Dynasty? Will they always be willing to be slaves, will they be willing to be slaves forever? Zhang Shanlu's words made Shen Yue stunned.
He only thought about the cheapness of black slaves, and he didn't think about what the existence of black slaves would bring to this land.
The population of China was already large, and in the future, black slaves multiplied by tens of millions......
If the black slaves get out of control, the consequences are unimaginable.
Since the beginning of the black slave trade, the black slaves have been resisting, and Shen Yue plans to feed and dress the black slaves, even so, can the black slaves really not resist?
Black people are lazy, almost the lowest class in any country in the world, and they live in poverty, and they only think that they have been discriminated against, and they do not think that they are not industrious.
Africa has become the most backward region in the world, and South Africa, a developed country that has the potential to become the sixth largest rogue country in the world, has become extremely insecure after being taken away by blacks, and its economy has almost collapsed, and there is no longer the prosperity of white rule in the past.
"In the Tang Dynasty, there were Kunlun Nu, but Kunlun Nu eventually disappeared, do you know why? If it is not my race, its heart will be different, Shen Gongzi, think twice about this matter. Zhang Shanlu said to Shen Yue solemnly.
Everyone knows that black slaves are cheap, and the landlords of the Ming Dynasty have no one to use black slaves.
On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty has a large population and no shortage of labor, and on the other hand, there is the problem of blacks themselves.
