Forcibly suppressing the depression and discomfort in his heart, Bo Jinchen's face was expressionless: "What is the identity of those miners? slaves or free people?"

Yu Yongzhi's face showed a trace of uneasiness, but he still stubbornly protested: "It's a slave, but those mine owners don't treat slaves as human beings too much, and they require those miners to stay in the mine for twelve hours a day, and they eat all things that dogs don't eat, we are all from poor families, and we know the difficulty of life, but a life like theirs is indeed not a human life."

Bo Jinchen's eyes became a little sharp, "Didn't the Holy Kingdom use instructions? As for the issue of slave status, we should try to redeem them in exchange for their freedom, instead of interfering with administrative means, Yongzhi, have you forgotten?"

You also know our situation in Jinzhong, those nobles and gentry are arrogant, and they don't worry about what we dare to do to them, basically they don't run away, and the resources we have obtained are pitifully small and not enough to use at all. The brothers could not bear the sight of the escaped miners running into our army and crying about their inhumane treatment, and demanded that the miners be taken down for public display, and I forced them to do so, but we could not sit idly by. Which of those mine owners doesn't have billions of dollars? They don't care about the ransom price you offer, and we don't have any extra money to spend on it!"

Yu Yongzhi is remarkable, in fact, the funds obtained in Jinzhong are quite a lot, especially the assets left behind by many nobles who are friendly with the upper nobles of the empire after escaping and a large number of coal mines have brought a lot of rich returns to the Taiping army. If this purge storm can be expanded indefinitely, then both the Taiping Army and the benefits he obtains from it will increase exponentially, this is the conclusion that Yu Yongzhi came to after discussing with several of his henchmen, and when he received the heavy silver ticket from the hands of the mine owners who had a good relationship with the Taiping Army under the auction mine, Yu Yongzhi could no longer maintain a calm heart.

Bo Jinchen didn't think of those despicable thoughts in Yu Yongzhi's heart at all, and he was still thinking about how to deal with the questions raised by the other party. The methods of the mine owners to enslave slaves must be very cruel, and it has always been the inherent view of those slave owners to treat slaves as cattle and horses, and if they want to abolish them all at once, there are still many unsolvable difficulties in Bo Jinchen's view, such as Jinzhong, where the mines mainly use slave labor, and there are not many free people engaged in this work, and once the abolition measures are forcibly implemented, I am afraid that it will immediately cause chaos. Bo Jinchen's original idea was to increase the tax on the mines, raise the tax rate, and then redeem the mine owners by obtaining funds, of course, the price must be much cheaper than the market price, so that it may be able to reduce resistance, but from the current point of view, it seems that this idea is difficult to get the approval of the people below. Having held great power, it was completely possible to take forcible measures to grant the slaves the status of freemen, which probably represented the voice of many people led by Yu Yongzhi, and judging from the current delicate atmosphere, the Holy King seemed to be inclined to this attitude.

Bo Jinchen is most worried about the abolition of slavery in Jinzhong, after all, although the power of the miners in Jinzhong is large, it is only limited to one government, and the number is limited, with the strength of the Taiping Army to forcibly implement, even if the mine owners are strongly opposed, and even create some chaos and trouble, but Bo Jinchen still believes that it can be successfully pacified, he is worried that once this wind blows, I am afraid that no one can control it anymore, and this wind will blow stronger and stronger, and it will affect other fields, in addition to abolishing the status of slaves, such as demanding further confiscation of merchantsThe demands of the landlords and all the nobles and gentry for the nationalization of their assets or distribution to the poor will rise even further, and will most likely be put into practice, and at that time it will inevitably lead to chaos in the whole area of control, which Bo Jinchen never wants.

"Then Yongzhi, what do you mean to do?" Rubbing his cheeks a little sleepily, Bo Jinchen finally asked the core question.

"Well, that's why I'm here to ask for a look. Although Yu Yongzhi was arrogant, he knew that the wisdom of the man in front of him should never be underestimated, even if he had the tacit approval of the Holy King, if he did not get the truth from the person in front of him, he still did not dare to act rashly.

"Hmph, Yongzhi, are you still sloppy in front of me? This should be a civil affairs matter, why are you so active?" Bo Jinchen's tone changed, becoming a little cold.

"Well, Bo Xiang, it's not that Yongzhi has overstepped his power, but it's actually that Yongzhi's 300,000 horses are in urgent need of life and weapons, so they have to come to the Holy Capital to ask the Holy King and Bo Xiang for help. This is a bitter matter, please understand. Yu Yongzhi looked more and more humble at this time, but his teeth were cold in Bo Jinchen's eyes. In fact, he already knew the purpose of Yu Yongzhilai, he was not in charge of civil affairs in the first place, but because of his prestige, and his views and opinions were completely opposite to the views of the Holy King, so the Holy King would come up with such a method, ostensibly to ask for his own opinion, but in fact, everything had already been decided.

"Oh, I'm not in charge of civil affairs, you should ask Wen Xiang about this matter, as long as you decide, you don't have to tell me again. Bo Jinchen lay his body into the chair, his body curled up slightly, "Go, Yongzhi, but we still need to pay attention to the ways and methods, and we need to treat those mine owners differently, those mine owners who are more angry than the people naturally need not say much, but the gentry with high popularity and good reputation must not move." ”

Knowing that everything was inevitable, Bo Jinchen still couldn't help but say a few more words, hoping to make the last effort, although he also knew that in fact, these words were difficult to reach the ears of the person in front of him.

There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and Yu Yongzhi still saluted respectfully on the surface: "Bo Xiang, then Yongzhi will go, Yongzhi will return to Heshuo after submitting the message, and he will come to Bo Xiang to say goodbye to him next time he returns to the Holy Capital." ”

waved his hand silently, at this time, Bo Jinchen had no longer the slightest mood, until Yu Yongzhi's figure disappeared, Bo Jinchen's eyes were still looking at the top of the beam of the house sluggishly, and it was useless to persuade the Holy King again, once upon a time, this old friend of his own was not even willing to see his own face, this is the so-called easy time shift, identity has changed, mentality has changed, and what he seeks has changed, but how long can all this superficial glory be maintained?

Bo Jinchen seemed to have seen the broken walls behind the carved beams and painted columns.

From the iron-smelting blast furnaces in Yinchuan and Qingyang to the ceramic kilns in Bonan, from the brewing workshops and salt wells in Guide to the medicinal herb workshops and wood processing workshops in Jinzhou, from the wool textile center in Qingyang to the sugar workshop in Taixuan, although it was a passing pass, Monkadi and his entourage were still intimidated by the vigorous economy of the Northwest, like a machine running at full speed with unstoppable momentum, and the economic situation of the entire Northwest was not inferior to the small principalities of the Hansen League, but even surpassed。 The good social security and business environment, the education mechanism and health institutions that have begun to take shape have opened the eyes of Viscount Monkadi, and it seems that the legendary civilization level of the Eastern Continent is no less than that of the Western Continent.

However, Viscount Moncardi's request to visit the Northwest Army was refused, but Plovland and Miss Dreiser were fortunate enough to see the Iron Cavalry drill from Mott, and the skillful horsemanship and incomparable momentum of the Mott cavalry when charging into battle made Plovland breathtaking, and the Miss Dreiser was preoccupied with all aspects and took advantage of the rare opportunity to inspect and ask questions in the military camp in the Northwest, many of which had unconsciously exposed the side that did not match her identity, which was quickly reported to Wu Feng by the security department after the visit, just the festival made the adults wave their hands generously and asked the people in the security department not to deliberately restrict each other, just pay attention to the surveillance, so that the personnel of the security department were puzzled.

After obtaining all the information from his niece, the anxiety in Viscount Moncardi's heart became even worse. If you really want to destroy the current Luope people with the strength of the northwest, it is not impossible from the current point of view, especially in the west, the Luope people are also attacked by the Chidi people, if the northwest people are really determined to punish the Luope people, in fact, there is no need to punish, even if the current situation is dragged down, it is enough to drag the Luope people down. As soon as the Luope people fall, the voice of the Chidi people will inevitably be opened, and the end of the northern kingdoms of the Hansen Alliance is also approaching, and what the greedy and brutal Chidi people will bring to the Hansen League is not as simple as burning, killing and plundering, they will even give birth to the people of these places, and let civilized people like themselves become oppressed machines and livestock, and the idea will arise in their simple minds.

At this time, the idea of persuading Li Wufeng to give up and weaken the Luope people became extremely strong, but unfortunately, Li Wufeng didn't seem to be too interested in him now, and his several requests to see him were politely rejected by the other party because of his busy official duties, but the other party had time to accompany the guy Plovlan to Golden State for summer vacation, which made Monkadi feel extremely depressed. It was easy to wait for Li Wufeng and Provlan to return to Qingyang, and Monkadi couldn't care much at this time, for his own future, for the prosperity of his family, he could only be cheeky to go to Provlan and ask him to convey his wish to see Li Wufeng on his behalf.
