"Uncle Huang, what happened to the immigrants, and they still have to be brought to the court?"

"What's the matter, I'm not making excuses for the official's siege." But he couldn't say this clearly, and he had to find an excuse to prevaricate the past. But this also can't help him, about all kinds of things about immigration, he comes as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Your Majesty, the immigration matter is generally gratifying, after our efforts in the past year, only officially, the number of immigrants to Jiaozhou has exceeded 500,000, and the total number of immigrants to Taiwan Island and Ryukyu has also exceeded 300,000. We estimate that in another year, the number of immigrants from Jiaozhou will reach one million, and the number of immigrants from Taiwan and Ryukyu will also exceed 500,000. In five years, 3 million immigrants from Jiaozhou and 2 million immigrants from Taiwan and Ryukyu. At that time, our immigration policy will be able to see the initial effect. ”

"Ah, isn't that great, what's the problem?"

"Your Majesty, but our large-scale migration has destroyed the normal life of the local natives. According to the officials we have dispatched, the natives have been giving us trouble from time to time. In particular, the Wuhu barbarians in Jiaozhou have clashed with our immigrants many times. But no matter what they say, they can be regarded as our vassals, whether they have openly rebelled or not, and the local officials do not dare to act rashly, so let Your Majesty help get an idea. ”

"If you have any ideas, you can just arrest them all! Uncle Huang, don't you talk all day long, saying that there are not enough slaves, so many good slaves, what are you hesitating about? ”

"Your Majesty, they are still our vassals, they have not openly rebelled, we will send troops to exterminate them, what will the other states think? If they don't feel safe, it's a big problem for us to join forces. ”

"Ah, that's a problem!"

No one objected to the capture of slaves now, mainly because the consequences of this slave capture were too serious. There are too many Fanbang foreigners inside and outside the Han Dynasty. If it is true that the Han Dynasty exterminated Fanbang for no reason, those Fanbang aliens united for self-protection, and it would really be enough for the Han to drink a pot.

"Don't we still have mercenaries, send out tasks for them to catch! They are not the army of our imperial court, no matter what they do, we can push it off! ”

"Your Majesty, you have a good idea. But once we release this quest, the mercenaries catch the slaves, but they don't necessarily sell them to the court. They're going to be on sale, and the highest price is to be paid, so that the slave going will be very chaotic and difficult for us to manage. And if there are too many slaves, if they are not controlled by the imperial court, it will also be a hidden danger to society. ”

"Well, Uncle Huang's concern is very necessary. But sooner or later we will have to face this problem, and we will not be able to keep the slaves in the hands of the court forever. Therefore, we must solve these problems in advance. ”

Originally, Liu Hong made a decision. The next is Liu Qian, and they go back to study countermeasures, and then report it to Liu Hong and let Liu Hong approve it. But Liu Hong didn't want to disperse the dynasty now, and then go back to face the bombardment of the Queen Mother, so he said directly: "Anyway, it's nothing today, let's discuss this issue." ”

As soon as Liu Hong said this, everyone was stupid. Here, the only thing that doesn't have anything is Liu Hong, and the others are all busy in a daze. Especially Liu Qian, now that Liu Hong has thrown all the government affairs to the Government Affairs Yuan, he is so busy now that he doesn't even have time to sleep, and when it comes to Liu Hong's mouth, it has become nothing.

But who made Liu Hong the emperor, and what he wanted to do, others had to accompany him.

"Your Majesty, if you want to solve the problem of slave management, you must first find a way to solve the problem of distinguishing slaves. Although the slaves we use are all foreigners, most of the slaves are no different from our people in appearance. Once they escape, it will be very difficult for us to capture him. If there is a way to make people know that he is a slave at a glance, this problem will be solved. ”

Before Liu Hong could speak, Xu Xun spoke, "Prime Minister, this problem is very easy to solve, just tattoo the faces of those slaves, in this case, it is clear whether they are slaves or not." ”

"It's a bad person, and his ideas are so bad." However, Liu Hong also has to admit that this is a good solution.

Although Qiao Xuan was doing things for the Queen Mother just now, he really offended the emperor, and now he was in a hurry to "make meritorious atonements", so he spoke, "Lord Xu, it's okay for male slaves to use this method, but what about female slaves?" There were many female slaves who were to be sold to brothels for their pleasure, and it was not good to tattoo them on their faces. ”

"Oh my day, this question is too acute. can ask such a sharp question, it seems that Qiao Xuan, this old guy, has been drilling into brothels. ”

Just when Liu Hong admired Qiao Xuan and didn't come to the old heart, Xu Xun spoke again, "What Lord Qiao said is that this official is a little inconsiderate. However, this problem is easy to solve, just change the place for the female slave's tattoo. For example, what is the back of the neck, waist or something, these are easy to check, and there are more hidden places are no problem. ”

"Okay, let's solve this problem like this, if there are any other problems, hurry up."

It's not a big deal, Liu Hong made a decision directly. Especially for Liu Hong, there is a successful experience in this regard. At that time in the Song Dynasty, the fear of soldiers escaping was solved by stabbing on the face. It must be easy to use it to manage slaves now.

"The other problems are not big, the key is to prevent slave rebellions." Liu Qian continued: "If the slaves are always controlled by the imperial court and watched by a large army, they will not be able to play with the flowers. But once they disperse into the homes of the people, they have the opportunity to connect with the turmoil, and we have to guard against this. ”

Hearing Liu Qi's words, everyone kept nodding.

Liu Biao is the secretary of the Ministry of Security, so he spoke first about this problem, "Although this problem is not easy to solve, I think that in addition to strengthening the management and strict monitoring of slaves, the use of slaves in other places is also very important." Slaves from the south, we moved them to the north. And the slaves from the north, we get them to the south. Although a group will definitely die because of the water and soil, but if they change places, they will be much more honest if they are not familiar with the place. ”

"Well, it is necessary to use it in other places, and the imperial court should prevent it in advance. The mercenaries in the province were afraid of losing their slaves, so they dealt with them directly in the local area. Then Liu Hong said: "It is also important to prevent slave rebellions and give them hope. ”

Looking at the puzzled ministers, Liu Hong continued: "The current slaves are all for life, not only is he a slave for life, but his children are also slaves, they can't see hope, of course they want to rebel." But we give him hope that through their own efforts, for themselves and their families, they will not rebel. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty said so. But how do you give them hope? ”

"Isn't it very simple, as long as we make a rule, they work honestly, and after many years, we will allow them, or one of their descendants, to become the people of the Han Dynasty and get rid of the status of slaves. In this way, it should be possible to dispel the hearts of many slaves who want to rebel. Of course, if you want to become a great Han citizen and learn Chinese and Chinese characters, it is necessary. And in order for the slaves to work well, the recommendation of the master's family is also an important indicator. ”
