Chapter 697: Killing Three Birds with One Stone
""Java vendetta reappears, flying knives kill and chase souls", and now Mr. Newspaper is really getting more and more famous." In the imperial study room of the Great Qi Palace, Li Su flicked the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile.
Hearing Li Su's words, Wang An, who was sitting in front of Li Su, also smiled: "I also read this report this morning, speaking of which, that Kawashita Stone is also a person with a true temperament, the slave hunting team was ambushed by the three Koreans, and even his own brother died, and he became disabled, this kind of hatred can't stand it for anyone, but he chose the most direct and tragic method of revenge, which is the legacy of the ancient assassin." ”
Li Su nodded after hearing this and did not speak, in fact, he felt that Wang An's words were a bit exaggerated by the Kawashita Stone, the ancient assassins often took the king as the assassination target, and this Kawashita Stone only killed the leader of a slave hunting team, and then dared to resist arrest, but was shot by the police in Palembang, which is far from the realm of the ancient assassins who went to death with anger. It's just that since everyone is dead, giving the other party a better evaluation is also in line with the habits of the Han people in the Central Plains.
Regarding the death of Kawashitashi, it is also worth mentioning here that a place like Java, although it nominally belongs to Daqi, but because of the plague before, Daqi has almost no rule here, and it has only just begun to build a few port cities in the past two years, and the official power of Daqi has only begun to slowly enter Java, but because of the limited time, the law is only applicable to the vicinity of the city for the time being.
For example, if you are in a tropical jungle where no one is governed, killing is not a big deal, as long as you can bear the consequences of killing and the retaliation of the other party. But in the city. To kill is to commit a capital crime. So relatively speaking, the city is still very safe. Cui Zhong was also too careless, he didn't expect Kawashita Stone to dare to assassinate him in the city. Only then was he hit by Kawashitashi, but then Kawashitoshi was also killed.
"Wang Fu, isn't the number of heads we stipulated this time a little small, now that the wealthy people of different races from all over the country have flocked to Java Island, looking at this, it is estimated that thousands of new Han people will emerge in the end, does this seem a little too easy?" Li Su suddenly asked, although he came up with this method, but the specific formulation was through Wang An's hands. Based on the number of nearly one million natives in Java, there are at least a few thousand people who can finally obtain Han Chinese household registration.
However, after hearing this, Wang An replied with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, in fact, the reason why Your Majesty agrees to your method is that in addition to wanting to eliminate the unstable factors in Java, you also want to use this decree to recruit those rich people in different races and give them the identity of Han people, after all, they have a lot of wealth and resources in their hands, if they are in an inferior state for a long time." It may cause resentment in some people, which is not conducive to future rule. ”
After hearing this, Li Su immediately understood that Wang An had taken a fancy to the wealth and resources in the hands of those foreign tycoons, so he used this method to absorb them into the camp of the Han people. Win over the hearts and minds of these people with the Han household registration, so as to be able to unify most of the country's wealth and resources and accelerate the development of all aspects at home and abroad.
"I see. It's a great way to kill two birds with one stone! Li Su nodded.
However, after hearing this, Wang An showed a strange smile, stretched out his hand and pointed to the newspaper in Li Su's hand and said, "Your Majesty." You should praise this as a great way to kill three birds with one stone! ”
Li Su was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at the newspaper. As a result, I just saw the report about Kawashitashi, and immediately patted my head and smiled: "Wang Fu is right, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have forgotten the third one." ”
The so-called third of the two has to be hidden very deeply, which starts from the current slave catching team, in the beginning, the slave catching team is mainly composed of Han Chinese, and belongs to a hidden armed force under Li Su, the slave catching association is also under the support of Li Su, founded by Yanbei, it is also a semi-official organization, the nature is similar to the East India Company in later generations, the association is composed of some powerful slave catching merchants, and there are some non-slave catching teams, which are also attached to the slave catching association.
However, in the past few years, in addition to the development of Daqi, the first generation of slave catchers have also accumulated considerable wealth, and after so many years, they have also begun to get tired of the kind of life of fighting and killing, so the slave catchers have also begun to renew, the old slave catchers have changed to do legitimate business, and the new slave catchers have begun to rise.
Speaking of slave hunting is also a profiteering industry, many people are willing to take the risk to join this industry, so as to accumulate their first pot of gold as quickly as possible, which not only attracts a large number of Han youth, but also attracts many non-Han people, such as Kawashita Shi and Cui Zhong, they are all non-Han people, and they have also done very well in the slave hunting world, if they are allowed to develop, they are likely to have the strength to enter the decision-making level of the slave hunting association in the future.
The Slave Hunter Association is not an ordinary industrial and commercial association, it is a semi-official and semi-militarized organization, Li Su needs to have absolute control over this organization, although those non-Han slave hunters will not necessarily pose a threat to Li Su's control after entering the decision-making level, but in his bones, Li Su still has a kind of vigilance against those alien races, so he does not want those non-Han slave hunters to enter the decision-making level of the association.
In addition, even if those non-Han slave catchers do not have the ability to enter the decision-making level of the association, the slave catcher team in their hands is still a violent organization, and such an organization is in the hands of those non-Han people.
Of course, it is impossible for them to kill people by themselves, so hiring a professional slave catching team has become their first choice. It is worth mentioning that the Han slave hunting team is generally very large, and they not only have fixed slave hunting places in Africa and other places, but also have their own fixed sales channels, and they have a very considerable income every day.
In comparison, the size of those alien slave catchers is relatively small, and there is no fixed income, so those rich people will definitely hire these non-Han slave catchers at a high price, and the facts have proved this. It's just that there are more monks and less porridge, don't look at Java, there are nearly a million natives, but there are more people who want to get Han household registration, so these slave catching teams will definitely break out in order to compete for limited resources, especially some of them are originally full of grievances, such as Kawashita Shi and Cui Zhong, they can be called enemies with narrow roads.
In fact, before Kawashita Shi and Cui Zhong fought, there have been several incidents of slave catching teams fighting each other on Java Island, especially after the heads of those natives were fried to hundreds of pieces each, it caused countless people to go crazy, some of the slave catching teams that exterminated the natives tribe, on the way back to the city, often have to encounter several bloody battles, the strong can return to the city, and the weak ones are directly wiped out on the way, and some of the heads of the natives who were handed over to the government have changed hands several times before, and they are not only stained with the blood of the killed natives, At the same time, it is stained with the blood of many more others.
"By the way, has the 50,000 troops transferred to Java already set off?" Li Su suddenly remembered something and asked again. Java Island has attracted so many slave capture teams, and most of them are aliens, which makes the security of the island threatened, so just a few days ago, Li Su mobilized 50,000 troops to enter Java, but it also takes time for the army to be deployed, so he asked this question.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the 50,000-strong army has set off yesterday, at the speed of a steam ship, I believe it will reach Java in a few days, and the Nanyang Fleet has also set up a station on Java Island, and a fleet of twenty capital warships has been stationed for many years, which can definitely guarantee the safety of Java Island!" Wang An bowed to report.
Li Su nodded reassuringly, but Wang An did not stop after speaking, but hesitated, and finally reported again: "Your Majesty, the 'European aristocracy' project launched by His Royal Highness King Wu some time ago has attracted thousands of Han youths, many of whom are just graduated students, and these students are urgently needed talents from all walks of life, so it is a pity that they are lost in vain?" ”
The plan of the 'European aristocracy' mentioned by Wang An was actually a method that Li Ke, who was far away in the Mediterranean, came up with in order to recruit more Han people to settle down. This method was named the European aristocracy, as the name suggests, that is, all Han people who are willing to move to the Mediterranean, as soon as they arrive in the Iberian Peninsula, will immediately be given the status of a baron by Li Ke, that is, they have the status of nobles. It's just that Li Ke has not yet established a state, so the title he gave is only valid in his own ruling area, that is, the Iberian Peninsula region, so he is called a European nobleman.
When Li Su heard this, he immediately understood what Wang An wanted to say, but he just smiled lightly: "Wang Fu, as far as I know, the third brother's plan is not only recruiting in my Daqi, but also recruiting people in Datang, how can Datang react now?" ”
"This ......" Wang An was speechless for a while, and finally said helplessly, "The people of Datang seem to like to be aristocrats more than our Daqi, and now nearly 10,000 people have rushed to the Mediterranean, and the Datang official has not forbidden this." ”
"That's it, even my father and emperor have indicated that they want to support the third brother, how can I, as my own brother, drag him back at this time, not to mention that although we are short of people in Daqi, the third brother is more short of people than us, and now the situation in the Mediterranean is in a critical period, the third brother must prepare enough manpower to deal with this change, if he can profit from it, then he can lay the foundation for him to win the Mediterranean Sea in one fell swoop!" In the end, Li Su's eyes seemed to penetrate everything, and he saw the drama that was about to be staged in the distant western land. (To be continued......)
