Chapter 722: Slave Traders (Apologies)
"Hehe, the virtuous son-in-law is coming, the old man is a little hungry, Fang Zichuan, I want to talk to the virtuous son-in-law, so I let people drag you back." Uncle Li was sitting on a low couch, and the table in front of him was already full of steaming wine and food, and I decided to forgive him for the time being.
"Thank you, father-in-law, my son-in-law's stomach has been rumbling for a long time, and I'm thinking about whether to go home and have a big meal first." I don't need to be too polite with Uncle Li in private, of course, the necessary politeness is still needed, I filled the wine for Uncle Li first, and poured a glass myself, Uncle Li's palace jade liquid is definitely a good thing.
A plate of braised vegetables and a plate of deer breast meat fell into the stomach, and the speed of picking up vegetables finally slowed down. Uncle Li still maintained his demeanor unhurriedly, and after three rounds of drinking, Uncle Li cleared his throat: "Virtuous son-in-law, do you know why the old man asked you to fight in the navy instead of by land?" ”
I just put down the wine cup, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard Uncle Li's words: "This, the son-in-law didn't think about it, but the son-in-law believes that the father-in-law must have a plan, the son-in-law is the people of the Tang Dynasty, the courtiers of the father-in-law, and he should serve the country and the court, whether it is by land or water, obey the needs of the Tang Dynasty and the arrangements of the court, be down-to-earth, conscientious, meticulous, diligent and hard-working, where the work is, where it shines, and do everything possible to create wealth for the country and society, In order to repay the kindness of the father-in-law to the son-in-law. "I'm the best at the scene, so I almost moved out the screw theory that never rusts in the future.
Uncle Li looked at me in a daze, and the wine cup in his hand almost fell to his body, and he shook his head helplessly and laughed out loud after a while: "You kid, this mouth is enough to choke, the old man almost made you dizzy." ”
"Father-in-law, these are all the heartfelt words of the son-in-law, and the world can learn from them." I quickly swallowed the food in my mouth, straightened my attitude, and my expression was definitely more resolute and courageous than that of the revolutionaries.
Uncle Li gave me a blank look: "Okay, don't give the old man a bunch of nonsense, in fact, the old man doesn't let you go to the land route to make contributions, but let you go to the navy, there is indeed the old man's considerations, after all, the land of Baekje is adjacent to Liaodong, my army is coming, the battle can be determined, and the people of insight in Baekje Silla all speak my Chinese language, using my Chinese language, which is no different from Goguryeo, so, after destroying Baekje, according to Silla, Cen Aiqing will take care of the food there, and the officials will be stationed. The old man is worried, and the Udier ......" Uncle Li slowly expressed his thoughts about sending me to fight in the navy.
--------------------------------------------------- main purpose is not for me to fight the Japanese people to the death, but to hope that I can find a way to transport the Japanese people out after the Tang Dynasty occupies the Japanese land, and several iron mines and coal mines in Liaodong in the north and east of Liaodong need a large number of laborers, and in the west of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of laborers are also needed to build roads and strengthen the central government's control over the Western Regions, in addition to Chang'an to Jiannan, Jiannan to Queensland…… In a word, Datang's free labor is in short supply.
And Baekje and Silla, because the land is connected to Liaodong, and the local people admire our Central Plains culture, speak Chinese, and use Chinese characters, so Uncle Li does not want to make the Korean Peninsula a mess, but regards Baekje and Silla as the territory and population of the Great Tang, mainly based on education, supplemented by suppression. But the land will not be a moment, and I will face each other across the sea from the Tang Dynasty, and I will destroy his country, what can I do later? Uncle Li is not the kind of soft-hearted master, beat you up and wait for you to grow stronger in the future, and then come back to beat a rake, so Uncle Li has already made up his mind, the population of the land is nearly one million, and there are hundreds of thousands of laborers.
What Uncle Li decided to take was to treat all the young people in the land as prisoners of war first, and contribute to the development of my Datang. "Why does my Datang have a hidden household? Isn't it unbearable to suffer from hard labor? Qin suffered from it, and the previous dynasty also suffered from it, I don't want the Tang Dynasty to repeat the mistakes of the past, but, for the long-term peace and stability of my Tang Dynasty, I have to speed up and strengthen the construction of roads, which can reduce the labor of the people, although it makes our people feel better, but where does the labor come from? I had to fight for this idea. "Uncle Li's idea, I raise my hands and feet in favor of it, and that's how it should be.
Uncle Li has realized more deeply than the ancient emperors the importance of roads for the development of the country, and the development of transportation can not only make business and trade more convenient, but also strengthen the centralization of power in the Tang Dynasty, increase local supervision and control, and reduce the road consumption ratio of disaster relief materials.
In the past two or three years, Uncle Li has been quite concerned about this issue, but Uncle Li is also opposed to allowing the people to increase the suffering of labor in addition to normal labor, thus interfering with the normal production and life of the people.
Moreover, according to the situation of Baekje, the prisoners of war obtained were definitely not enough for the large-scale development of roads and various constructions in the Tang Dynasty, and the Wa Kingdom, with a population of more than one million, made Uncle Li very greedy, and in order to prevent future troubles, Uncle Li handed over this important task that could not be put on the surface.
"No matter what method you use, the old man has to give me at least 200,000 to 300,000 strong laborers." Uncle Li poured a glass of wine viciously, and then approached me and said gloomily.
Looking at His Majesty, the greatest emperor of the contemporary empire and the head of the slaves, I swallowed: "Although my father-in-law is relieved, my son-in-law will definitely find a way to complete the task. "I can see that Uncle Li is not just as simple as letting me go to gilding, its main purpose is to let me, a cronie and confidant, go to Wa Island, to be the biggest slave trader in Datang, I like this profession very much, even if Uncle Li does not give me the task, I am likely to take the initiative to ask, this is great, I will not only import a large number of slave labor to Datang, I will also vigorously carry out de-Japanese education, eliminate all non-Chinese traditional culture and legends, and put Wa land, Down-to-earth and peaceful evolution into Datang's island chain defense system.
Since Uncle Li trusts me so much, then I should also be honest with me. "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has a suggestion, after our Datang exterminates the Japanese land, there will inevitably be a shortage of population above the Japanese land, shouldn't our Datang ......" I lewdly stepped forward and cautiously put forward my suggestion to Uncle Li.
"Well, this is natural, you can rest assured that the copper, sulfur, and gold on the island will not let go of the old man, my Datang is now short of copper, and the guys in the household department are muttering in the old man's ears all the time, and they are about to annoy the old man. As for the problem you are worried about, the old man will give you a message first, as long as the Japanese kingdom is destroyed, you kid don't say that you want to open a Hongwen branch library on the Japanese land, that is, open ten, and the old man will allow you to make trouble by yourself. ”
--------------------------------------------------- Uncle Li is clearly just pushing the boat down the river, and the important surname of cultural aggression has been valued by the Tang Dynasty, for example, the Hongwenguan branch built by the Tang Dynasty in Pingliao City has achieved excellent results, and Uncle Li has ordered to establish their own schools in various states and counties in Liaodong Province to educate the local people. The land of Nanzhao and the former Linyi Kingdom also adopted the same cultural invasion, using the cultural xenophobic surnames to completely gather the whole of East Asia to form a real Tang Empire state system with the Tang Dynasty as the political center and the inheritance of Chinese culture as the ideological purpose.
And after occupying the Japanese land, it is natural to do the same, to eliminate all foreign cultures and unfinished writing and language systems in East Asia, and only the Tang Dynasty and the Chinese culture are exclusive, this is my greatest wish.
Uncle Li moved the Japanese out of the prisoners of war for coolies, and he would move a large number of people to fill in the Japanese land, and after three or five efforts, there was also a fart of the Japanese people, the so-called eight island countries, the country of the exod, will turn into an ugly bubble, and in an instant, it will disappear into the dust of history.
Uncle Li's idea is very good, at least in my eyes, Uncle Li's idea is what I want, although it is only a strategy carried out quietly, but in this era, Uncle Li's strategy is not only to develop the politics and economy of the Tang Dynasty, but more importantly, to lay a new model for the development history of the Tang Dynasty and the Chinese nation.
Farewell to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, began to assign the tasks of the academy, there are complaints, this is understandable, there are ideas, we can also understand the heart, however, I resolutely oppose any individualism prevails, and the request of Uncle Cheng was rejected by me with righteous words. However, after Uncle Cheng stretched out his head to express his goodwill to me, I had no choice but to be aggrieved and allowed these uncles, Li Jingye, Li Yexu and other students who entered the Command Department to join me and Xue Rengui's team. In order for my Datang to be more secure, he can pocket the land more securely.
Cultural aggression can be regarded as the most powerful non-violent weapon of this era, and its exclusive and exclusive surnames can allow the Tang Dynasty to completely assimilate the ethnic groups of Liaodong, the Korean Peninsula, Wadao, and the Indochina Peninsula. It has formed a great boosting force for the development of Datang.
