Chapter 474: The main business
"Aren't you too merciful to do that?" Lin Yi asked rhetorically, "Cadres like Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku, but they have all committed serious crimes, and they can't be set an example if they are not severely punished, so they spared their lives, doesn't it seem a little too forgiving?" ”
Xiao Mu explained, "It's naturally easy to kill them directly, but I always feel that there is no way for them to atone for their previous practices, send them to Taiwan, and follow Yuan Chonghuan to open up Nanyang together, so that their abilities can be fully utilized......
Although Lin Yi can understand Xiao Mu's perspective of "losing and gaining", he always feels a little weird, and he feels that he will inevitably make some "low-level mistakes" when he is in a very distorted situation.
"But now that it's autumn, Fan Yongdou and they all committed capital crimes before, according to the statement of 'Autumn Queen', they should no longer be in this world now, even if you are squeezing their surplus value, I'm afraid there is no chance."
"Don't forget who is the one who dominates the power of life and death in the Ming Dynasty." Xiao Mu undoubtedly heard the mistake of Lin Yi's words, so he replied a little proudly, "I don't remember that someone took the list of prisoners who needed to be beheaded after the autumn this year to let me, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, come up and personally execute it, could it be that in the days when I was asleep, someone did this work for me?" However, Wei Zhongxian's Yin Jian is not far away, no one should have the guts, right? ”
Lin Yi also quickly realized the "low-level mistake" he had just made, so he stopped talking and quietly gave Xiao Mu a chance to be proud - after all, this kind of opportunity didn't seem to be too many for Xiao Mu.
"I have never ordered anyone to be killed since I crossed over, and now I don't want to kill anyone either, not just Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku, who are businessmen in Zhangjiakou." Xiao Mu continued to add, "Everything that could have been sentenced to death, such as Liang Yanyang and his ilk, who you and I just crossed over, and were the first to come into contact with when we were in Daxing, I plan to exile them all to Taiwan and send them to Yuan Chonghuan as his subordinates and retinue, so that if Yuan Chonghuan can really break out of the world in Taiwan and Nanyang, they can also be a good help, at least compared with the European colonists, there is no doubt that the criminals of the Ming Dynasty are more qualified to be counted as 'their own people'." Moreover, in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty, exile to Taiwan or even Nanyang, a place that they may not have heard of in their lives, will never be able to go home, which is also an extremely heavy punishment for them, and it also has a strong warning effect. ”
"Not only can you save their lives, but also squeeze the last use value on them, you have done a very good job in this transaction." Lin Yi commented, so that Xiao Mu was also a little
"I heard that the colonial ancestors of Australia in later generations were exiled criminals, although I don't know if this statement is correct, but your approach is similar." Lin Yi commented, and then continued, "It's just that if Yuan Chonghuan is not able to make a difference in Taiwan, let alone expand his territory in the South Seas, what are you going to do in that case?" ”
"Running Taiwan and attacking Nanyang is not an easy task, if you can succeed casually, then Nanyang should have been the territory of the Chinese people in the original history." Xiao Mu replied, "After all, we still have to have a contented and happy mentality for this matter, as long as Yuan Chonghuan and Zheng Zhilong can contain each other, cooperate with each other, and run Taiwan well, we should be quite satisfied." ”
"It's just that I'm afraid that Yuan Chonghuan will be too careless after getting your will today, after all, he was the one who proposed 'five years of Pingliao' before." Lin Yi was still a little worried.
"Presumably, to the situation of being impeached by all the ministers of the DPRK and China today, Yuan Chonghuan should also accept a lesson, and will not be like the 'five-year Pingliao', and there will be any unrealistic ideas of 'five years of Pingliao', and even if he boasted of the 'five-year Pingliao' Haikou, it is because he has been in Liaodong for a long time and knows the situation in Liaodong very well, and now I sent him to Taiwan, and let him look at the Nanyang, which is all something he didn't understand before, as long as he still has some sense, he will know how to fight steadily."
"I hope so." Xiao Mu analyzed everything that could be analyzed, and Lin Yi had nothing to say but to express her vision and expectations.
"Now that the matter of the impeachment of Yuan Chonghuan by the minister of the DPRK and China has been resolved, the matter of cultivating Li Shiyao and their children should be put on the agenda, right?" Xiao Mu said, it is obvious that he is more concerned about this matter - if running Taiwan and attacking Nanyang is compared to a part-time side business, then Xiao Mu undoubtedly feels that cultivating Li Shiyao and their children, and imparting to them the knowledge that he has mastered from the modern society in later generations that does not belong to this time and space is the most important main business at the moment, because a lot of knowledge in modern society is too unbelievable and deviant for the residents of this time and space in the Ming Dynasty, and only teenagers who are like blank sheets of paper are suitable for learning. And they are more receptive to new things, so they are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.
"You've used a lot of brains to deal with Yuan Chonghuan today, so let's talk about how to teach those children tomorrow?" Lin Yi felt that Xiao Mu seemed to need to rest even more, "After all, the coming day is long, and I am not in a hurry at this time." ”
"But I feel in a good state today, my mind is very clear, and I can even think of a way to satisfy the ministers of the DPRK and China, and at the same time give Yuan Chonghuan a new opportunity to make contributions." Xiao Mu shook his head and rejected Lin Ye's suggestion to let him rest.
"I'm not a 'back-to-the-light'! I don't know how long I have to live, but I can't die for a while. Xiao Mu added again, and then talked about the "main topic" again-"I won't tell you, I already have a general idea and idea about how to cultivate these children. ”
"What thoughts and ideas?" After listening to Xiao Mu's words, Lin Yi also subconsciously asked, and when she realized that she should stick to the opinion she had just made and let Xiao Mu have a good rest, this question was already asked like a reflex.
Since this was the case, Lin Yi also gave up the idea just now, and planned to listen carefully to what kind of thoughts and ideas Xiao Mu had.
