Chapter 1166: The Emperor Is a Human Trafficker?
Zhu Shangwu's words made Zhao Hongyu know that he had something to say.
So, he snorted a Haluha, and then explained: "My ancestors are also from the Central Plains, although we have taken root in the Americas, but each generation will be taught to make us cherish our homeland." When I came back to worship my ancestors this time, I saw that my homeland was full of devastation, and I felt a little unbearable, so I ......"
Zhao Hongyu's explanation was not impeccable, but in the end it was accepted by Zhu Shangwu.
Hey
The others don't need to pay attention to it, as long as they can fool Zhu Shangwu, the Ming Emperor.
"Oh, I see, I know." , After listening to Zhao Hongyu's explanation, Zhu Shangwu showed a look of 'I understand' and nodded at Zhao Hongyu.
Oops, my mom, it's finally gone.
Fortunately, this emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not that kind of smart person, otherwise Xiaoxiao will be in some trouble.
Zhao Hongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"This He Renlong, I really can't imagine that he is such a person. It's a shame that I still trust him so much! Zhu Shangwu muttered to himself.
"He Renlong's matter is easy to solve, no matter how he is, he is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to solve his words, you only need to say a word about your majesty. Zhao Hongyu said to Zhu Shangwu at this time.
Hearing this, Zhu Shangwu stopped talking to himself, thought about it carefully and nodded.
Yes, no matter how He Renlong is, he is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.
If you want to solve him, it's really a matter of one sentence for yourself.
However, Zhao Hongyu's next words made Zhu Shangwu uncomfortable.
"He Renlong's matter is easy to say, but the problem of displaced people in Shaanxi and other places is the fundamental, and if His Majesty can't solve it, there will be a big problem."
Solve, what do I take to solve.
The court had no silver, and there were years of famine.
Even if I want to help the victims, I can't do it.
"I also know that the displaced people are the root of turmoil. But I really can't help it. Zhu Shangwu looked at Zhao Hongyu with a sad face.
"It's actually quite easy to solve." , Zhao Hongyu smiled.
Easy to solve?
Why don't you know the way?
If it were that easy, the courtiers wouldn't have deceived themselves.
However, if the crown prince who wants to come to the Americas says that it is easy to solve, he must have something to do, right?
If that's the case, you might as well listen to it yourself.
What if this is really solved?
That's a good thing for me.
After all, if the riots in Henan, Shaanxi Province are really as described by the crown prince, then the current situation is really not optimistic.
If it's in normal times, maybe it's not a problem. But now Liaodong is also in turmoil, and the Jurchen army is coming to the city of Beijing.
If the situation in Shaanxi and Henan becomes more erosive, this will be the case...... When Zhu Shangwu thought of this, he was reluctant to continue thinking about it.
"What's your idea?"
Zhu Shangwu immediately asked.
Hey!
Zhao Hongyu smiled secretly in his heart, he was waiting for this moment.
And Zhu Shangwu spent so much saliva for something, not for immigration.
But this matter can't be said directly, because if it is said directly, Zhu Shangwu will definitely refuse.
That's why Zhao Hongyu nagged and Zhu Shangwu in such a big circle.
All right. Now Zhao Hongyu has finally begun to implement his plan, the first step.
That is to persuade Zhu Shangwu and make him feel that the idea of immigration is good, and only when Zhu Shangwu agrees, then this matter can be really determined.
Of course. Even if Zhu Shangwu disagrees, Zhao Hongyu can also emigrate from the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that this is more troublesome, if it is not a last resort, Zhao Hongyu really doesn't want to do it.
The best way to do it. It is to cooperate with the Ming court, and they will come forward to implement this plan so that Zhao Hongyu can save worry and effort.
Otherwise, what would Zhao Hongyu do when he came to see Zhu Shangwu. Just sit directly in Kyushu.
"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks of the people?"
"People's hearts?" , Zhu Shangwu looked at Zhao Hongyu with a puzzled expression, he didn't know why Zhao Hongyu asked like this.
Zhao Hongyu nodded with a serious and serious expression: "Yes, what does Your Majesty think of the people's hearts?" What do you think is popular sentiment? “
Is it possible that you have to test me before giving me an idea?
Zhu Shangwu thought about this question while thinking about it.
However, without waiting for Zhu Shangwu to answer himself, Zhao Hongyu gave Zhu Shangwu an answer.
"Land! Grain! This is the will of the people! ”
When Zhu Shangwu heard this, he nodded silently.
"You're right, these are indeed the hearts of the people."
If the common people have land, they will not have breakfast, and if they have food to eat, they will not go hungry and will not take risks.
No empty talk is as good as this.
To put it bluntly, as long as the fritters live, the common people will not rebel.
Nowadays, there are frequent riots in Shaanxi, isn't it because the people can't survive?
If they all have their own land and have enough food to eat at home, then they will never be thieves.
Zhu Shangwu also understands this truth.
But the problem is that Zhu Shangwu doesn't have land for those displaced people.
After all, most of the land is in the hands of the rich.
Even if he is the emperor, he can't take away the land of those rich people for no reason
What's more, these people who own a lot of land are either talented or lifted, or they are ministers of the DPRK and China.
And they are the mainstays of the Ming Dynasty, but they can't be provoked.
If he deprived them of their land and distributed it to the bankrupts, then the court would be done in less than a day.
Even, they will immediately hand themselves over to the Jurchens, and then re-select an emperor.
So, this crown prince from the Americas, even if he tells himself the truth, what can he do?
Zhu Shangwu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's useless for you to tell me this, I'm afraid it's not easy to solve." ”
As soon as Zhao Hongyu pondered it, he knew that Zhu Shangwu was having a headache about something.
So, he smiled and said, "I didn't let you touch the big guy's land. This will cause big trouble. "But I really have an idea here, which can solve the problem of the displaced people, and also make the court make a lot of money."
"Oh! I would like to hear about it. Zhu Shangwu's eyes lit up.
Zhao Hongyu said: "Those homeless people are homeless and have nothing to eat. When they were hungry, they did anything to survive. In that case, it is better to sell the outcasts to me, and we will trade them at the price of the servants and maids in the outside world. "It just so happens that we in the Great Song of America need some labor, and I think they will go to our side, at least they won't have to starve to death." And it can also solve a big problem for Daming. “
Finally, Zhao Hongyu showed his fox tail.
"What do you mean...... You're going to buy the outcasts? “
Zhu Shangwu grew his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
He never imagined that this crown prince from the Americas was talking to him about human trafficking.
Do you want him to be the king of a country, and he would do such a thing?
But if you think about it, what they say makes sense.
Those displaced people are indeed a factor of instability, and their presence has an impact on law and order, and they do not have enough to eat. They tend to take risks.
That's why the riots came about.
If they can be sold to the crown prince, the problem of these displaced people will be solved, and at the same time, they will be able to earn some silver.
This...... That's a great thing.
Besides, the Ming Dynasty has a large population. It wouldn't make a difference without those displaced people.
But if these homeless people don't solve it, they will embark on the road of being thieves, which will give the court a headache.
The riots and thieves in Shaanxi are basically not composed of displaced people.
"How much money are you going to give?"
It's a wonder after all. Zhu Shangwu's ability to accept this matter is very strong, even beyond Zhao Hongyu's imagination.
Originally, Zhao Hongyu thought that he could bother with a lot of words.
But. Zhu Shangwu began to talk about the price like this.
I'll it.
It seems that this guy is even more bizarre than the carpenter emperor of another plane.
I like it though.
Zhao Hongyu laughed secretly in his heart.
"If a little girl outside buys it back to be a maid, it will only cost five taels of silver, or even lower. Men eat a lot, so it's hard for anyone to buy it. But when I talked to you, I gave you a conscience price, whether it was a man or a woman, old or young, it was five taels of silver! ”
Zhao Hongyu raised his palm and shook it at Zhu Shangwu, his expression was still very righteous and awe-inspiring.
There is no conscience price.
Is there a big living person with five taels of silver!
It is also a shame that Zhao Hongyu is thick-skinned, and he can actually say such a thing, and he also boasts that he has a conscience.
After hearing this, the corners of his eyes twitched.
Zhu Shangwu didn't make a sound, after all, he didn't know if what Zhao Hongyu said was true.
Coincidentally, at this time, Eunuch Xue came back.
After Zhu Shangwu saw Eunuch Xue coming back, he hurriedly beckoned to him and summoned Eunuch Xue.
"Your Majesty."
Eunuch Xue bowed and trotted to Zhu Shangwu's side.
"Do you know how much silver it will cost to buy a big living person outside?"
Zhu Shangwu asked.
Belch!
Eunuch Xue didn't know why His Majesty suddenly asked like this.
"Don't be stunned, tell me quickly." When Zhu Shangwu saw Eunuch Xue stunned there, he couldn't help but urge.
"Why does Your Highness ask such a question?"
Eunuch Xue had just come back, and he still didn't know the content of the previous conversation between Zhao Hongyu and Zhu Shangwu.
Zhu Shangwu rolled his eyes a little impatiently, but he still told Zhao Hongyu and the deal he was going to do in a good manner.
What!
Let your own majesty sell people!
After Eunuch Xue understood the ins and outs, he was completely messy.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Eunuch Xue found that this matter really seemed to be able to solve the problem of the homeless riots.
Moreover, if this thing is done well, it can really make money.
After thinking clearly, Eunuch Xue told Zhu Shangwu about the price at which the homeless people outside sold their bodies...... (To be continued......)
