Chapter 290: Swap of Interests

When Li Longji said this, all the officials present instantly sighed, and then they all turned their eyes to Li Mao, as if they were waiting for Li Mao's answer with bated breath, and Li Mao nodded unexpectedly after being silent for a while.

So in addition to Li Longji shaking his head regretfully, several old guys suddenly couldn't help but get up and walked up to Li Mao, bowed and saluted, and admonished in person: "Sage, you are understandable for the prosperity of the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but my Heavenly Empire is a state of etiquette, if you do such a thing, then in the future, you should let the people of the world comment on it!" And now that thou art the king of a kingdom, how can such words come out of thy mouth...... Buddhism says that all people are created equal...... This kind of practice is so ridiculous, the old minister really doesn't dare to agree!! ”

Hearing the old things talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality so high-sounding, Li Mao suddenly felt a little crying and laughing, because the dirty facts they usually do are really hard to write, but they are just lazy to worry about them because of the ideology of feudal society, but now they turned around and buckled this scolding hat on their heads first.

"Oh! Is this really what the Yuwenqing family thinks? But how did I hear that there are thousands of cheap slaves in your Yuwen family! Aren't they the beings you say you are talking about? It's good to say that it's equal, did your evil slave last month throw two poor girls into the well and drown because of a trivial matter, I was too lazy to care about such a trivial matter, but you have such a heart for all living beings today, okay, then I will first come to justice for those unjustly killed female slaves, come on! Let's go, that distant cousin of the Yuwen family, that is, our Yuwen Lao Aiqing's big housekeeper took it to the vegetable market and cut it in half......"

"Whoa!" As soon as Li Mao's voice raised slightly, Wangcai outside the courtyard gate immediately answered, and then several guards turned around and ran out of Xingqing Palace without hesitation at his signal. After Li Mao gave this will, he seemed to be in a much happier mood, so he stood up from the chess table, slowly walked in front of Yuwen Rong, patted him on the shoulder, and continued to open his mouth: "Yuwen Aiqing's words are reasonable!" The idea I just had was indeed a bit inappropriate, why don't we wait for Fusang to send someone over in the future, let's pay the monthly money as usual, so that we can't bully and exploit the small kidnapping labor, and take what we need? What does Aiqing think? "This ...... This! The old minister seconded the proposal, sage, your move is a great benefit to the people......"

"Okay, okay, then let's follow Aiqing's words today and make another decree, that is, from today onwards, there is no distinction between north and south, people are not divided between old and young, all my people of the Tang Empire have no distinction between high and low, everyone is born equal, everything is based on the law of the Tang Dynasty, killing people to pay for their lives, debts to pay back, this is heaven and earth, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, Gao Lishi immediately passed on my will to Li Linfu and Zhongshu Province to promulgate the newly drafted Tang Dynasty law nationwide ......"

"Whoa! The old slave is going! Li Mao's thinking jumped so quickly, he was still discussing the matter of the field, why did he turn around and talk about the matter of the household registration law, these clans are very enthusiastic about raising cheap slaves, and the huge benefits that this move can bring to them are also an important reason why they have always supported it.

Now Li Mao has broken the hundred-year-old household registration tradition with a simple sentence, and he really came up with a situation where everyone is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, to be honest, they are very indignant in their hearts at the moment, but Li Mao just quietly told the in Yu Wenrong's house in such detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

So all the colleagues here had to think about it again, this Yuwen family's chicken feathers and broken skin Li Mao all know so clearly, so will their own family be so clear? Although the night shift is helpless, but that sentence pushed to the mouth of the vegetable market is really shocking!

However, Li Mao saw that his strong methods had a deterrent effect, so he also felt that it was time to pick a stick and give another sweet date, so the originally black immediately turned cloudy and laughed. "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter will be decided like this first, and I also know that your family is indispensable to be called by slaves and girls, but the people who have household registration in our Datang are all treated equally, but those people outside the territory, can you still send them at will? I'm not that pedantic person, and I know that this matter can't be done overnight, so take your time, for now, let's talk about the return of this land to the state, rest assured, I will never lose more than I gain......"

Li Mao deliberately paused for a few seconds after saying this, and waited for these old guys who were half-buried in the loess to calm down a little and straighten their ears before continuing to explain: "Zhong Aiqing must have also heard about the idea of opening a bank and developing maritime trade, and this matter was initially discussed by the three central provinces earlier!" The matter of trade is also simple, the sea is dangerous but the benefits are huge, as long as the craftsmanship of this sea ship is improved, it must be able to be done, before my marines have sailed thousands of miles away to the Americas, Australia, and even Africa, today as long as you make up your mind to hand over the land, then I will also express my sincerity, and speaking of this sincerity, I don't know if you think it is appropriate for the imperial court to lift the taboo and give you a few copies of the detailed nautical chart! You have also seen potatoes, sweet potatoes, spices, and even novel animals and gems that Elaoba brought with you......

"This? Sage, are you really willing to hand over the chart for us clans to enjoy? "Yes, I will not only hand over the chart, but also let the marines open the way for your merchant ships in the future to prevent the attack of pirates, in addition to the amount of land you hand over will also give you the dividend shares of the bank you participate in, this bank issues silver bills, which contains huge benefits, the common people in the market are ignorant and do not know, and you as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the humerus Liangcheng will not be unaware of the power!"

Li Mao just began to say that he handed over the road map of navigation, in fact, these old families were happy in their hearts, as early as Li Mao spit out the wind and said that they wanted to develop maritime trade, they had already begun to discuss it in their own families, in the end, they also knew in their hearts that how could their little family arms and legs fight against Li Mao, the king of tigers and wolves in the Tang Dynasty? The reason why I've been carrying it hard has been stubborn, but it's just that I don't see the rabbit and don't scatter the eagle!

At this moment, Li Mao threw out the nautical chart and completely broke their bottom line, and then Li Mao increased the weight again and even had to operate with them with the silver tickets issued by the state, so these old things were surprised by the smile on their faces, and then they were very eager to talk to each other. -->
