Chapter 544: For the position of the first assistant, he Zhang Zongjun is carrying this black cauldron!
Zhu Yunxi never thought that a mere slave trade business would drag the entire royal family and the nobles of the capital into the water.
What made him even more depressed was that the leading brother turned out to be Zhu Yunxi's bastard!
Oh yes, and Grandma Guo, the eldest sister.
With these two gods in town, it's no wonder that I didn't hear the wind at all.
Whether it is Jin Yiwei or Jing Haijun, who sees that these two backstage must not sell them a little face?
The most important thing is that there will be no blind people to come to me to tell you, and anyone who sees these two people in the background will subconsciously think that they know about this and that they secretly instructed them to do it......
Zhu Yunxi's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and ate this dumb loss.
"That's how you do things on a daily basis?"
"Don't you tell me about such a big thing?"
Xu Liuzi said aggrievedly.
"His Royal Highness King Heng said to the lowly position, saying that he will inform you and not let the lowly position chew the root of the tongue. He also said that if he dared to talk nonsense, he would be castrated and sent to the palace to be a eunuch......"
Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly when he heard this.
"Lone can also throw you into the palace as a eunuch!"
Hearing this, Xu Liuzi subconsciously clamped his legs and begged for mercy with a smile on his face.
"Your Highness spares your life!"
"There are no heirs in the lowly position, and it is not too late to enter the palace to serve His Royal Highness when the descendants of the lowly position are full, hehehe......"
"Don't be hippie with me!"
"Tell me the truth, how long has the reverse grandson been doing this business?"
"One year...... Two years ......"
"How long at all!"
"Back to Your Highness, more than two years, less than three years!"
"How much money did you make in total?"
Xu Liuzi made a mistake this time, it's good that he can remember the time, how can he know how much money he makes?
"Back to His Royal Highness, I don't know how much I earn or how little I earn, but I still have tens of millions of taels of silver."
"How much?"
Zhu Yunxi directly blew up when he heard this, how much is the tariff of his city in a year, and Zhu Yunxi can earn tens of millions of taels if he gives it to slaves?
"Your Highness, do you know that this foreign slave is very sought-after in Daming now, especially the strong white slave, who can sell for hundreds of taels of silver with good teeth!"
Zhu Yunxi immediately felt that something was wrong when he heard this.
"Wait!"
"Shouldn't it be that black slaves are sold at an expensive price?"
Xu Liuzi shook his head when he heard this, and said confidently.
"Your Highness is false, although the black slaves are strong, they also have a huge amount of food, and they don't like to work, and many landlords are unwilling to buy them."
"Relatively speaking, the white slaves transported back from the land of Taixi are much more in demand, they eat less, they are obedient, they do whatever they want, and they don't always want to run like black slaves."
"Uh-uh......"
Zhu Yunxi found that he was out of touch with the times, and he didn't even know this kind of common-sense question, and he had to rely on a brocade guard to popularize science for himself.
"Humph!"
"How can you not know that loneliness is just a test for you!"
Xu Liuzi subconsciously patted the horse's ass.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, you see that this slave has entered the port, and he can't go back again, right?"
Zhu Yunxi's heart was tired, he was not worried about the heart attack of the Holy Mother, but worried that these black slaves and white slaves would occupy the magpie's nest a hundred years later. Even if the Ming Dynasty is eternal, it will always be like the sky, and you have to beware of a group of mixed races, right?
"Stripping the slave capture ship from the Jing Navy, they love to toss and turn, but there is one point, every ship entering the port must pay taxes according to the regulations and register one by one!"
"No!"
"Humble duty, let's go and preach the decree!"
After Zhu Yunxi took it lightly, the people on the slave hunting ship were released on the spot, and the slave market, which had been dormant for a long time, was reopened the next day, attracting a large number of Jiangnan landlords and Liaodong officers to buy slaves.
Zhu Yunxi mixed in with this group of people, listening to them bargaining, and at the same time getting close to them, asking them why they bought them back.
"Tut-tut, this batch of goods is not good, the price is still expensive, are you going to do business well?"
"Who said it wasn't, just a Kunlun slave dared to ask for fifty taels of silver, why didn't they rob it!"
"Let me tell you, Kunlun Nu is the most useless, he doesn't know how to do any work, he doesn't say anything, and he still thinks about running all day long."
"These idiots don't want to think about it, this place is 108,000 miles away from their hometown, they can run back!"
"Relatively speaking, Tessie is still a white man with peace of mind, he learns anything quickly, and he is obedient and easy to fiddle with!"
Just as several Jiangnan landlords were discussing with each other, a Liaodong general wearing a fur coat walked over with a horsewhip.
"We're different from you, we like Kunlun over there!"
"Kunlun slaves can eat it, but they also have great strength, and it is the most suitable for mining, road repair, ploughing and ploughing."
Several Jiangnan landlords shook their heads when they heard this.
"We can't compare here with you, I heard that you beat roe deer and scoop fish, and pheasants fly into the rice pot. The land is so fertile that you can grab a handful of oil and scatter the grain. ”
"It's like ours in this shabby place, and there are not a few buckets of rice left in a year of careful planning!"
This is a typical crying poor, how many landlords in Jiangnan live by growing grain?
For them, planting mulberry and silkworms, planting tea and roasting tea, which is not more profitable than farming?
"This military master, you have a lot in Liaodong, right?"
The Liaodong man in a fur coat smiled shyly when he heard this.
"It's not much, it's only a few hundred acres of land in total, which can barely be regarded as a New Year's meal."
"How many hundred acres?"
"I'm a mother, I'm a big landlord here!"
"Dare to ask Master Jun, how many Kunlun slaves do you want to buy this time?"
"If the price is right, the old man really has a few idle mouths at home, so I might as well give it to you."
"It's guaranteed to be better than what they pulled back this time!"
"You look at these Kunlun slaves, one by one, their heads are drooping, and they look sick at first glance, and they can be cured if they buy them back. If you die one or two, won't you lose ten taels of silver? ”
The Liaodong man was slightly entangled when he heard this.
"What about the price?"
"The price is the same as the market!"
"We bought it a few months ago, and at first we thought that Kunlun slaves were strong and able to work, but I thought they were so lazy!"
The Liaodong man laughed when he heard this.
"Haha, you don't understand this, do you?"
"Kunlun Nu is not suitable for you to do the delicate work in the south of the Yangtze River, and you can only do the work that we can do in Liaodong!"
"And you have to be cruel to them, whip them up, and make sure they are obedient!"
While the discussion was in full swing, a young man dressed in a splendid military attache uniform rode a tall horse to the slave market and shouted to the boss who was shouting on the stage.
"I've got it all!"
As soon as this person's voice fell, not only shocked several small landlords in the south of the Yangtze River, but even Zhu Yunxi, who was hiding aside and eavesdropping, was startled.
These three ships of slaves are less than tens of thousands of people, who has so much courage that they can cover them all in one go?
Zhu Yunxi looked at Xu Liuzi on the side and whispered to him.
"Send someone to find out the details of this person!"
"Back to the emperor's grandson, this person doesn't need to be checked, he knows him in a humble position!"
"Who?"
"This person is the guard of Yanwangfu, his nickname is Tiedan, his big name is Wang Tie, his seventh uncle is still a member of our Jinyi Guard, and he grew up in the Wei Chang of our Jinyi Guard."
"King Yan?"
Zhu Yunxi's brows furrowed tightly.
"Why did King Yan buy so many slaves?"
Xu Liuzi heard the words and whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear.
"Your Highness, I guess King Yan should have heard the news......
"What's the news?"
"I talked to Li Da yesterday...... Li Da was the steward of the slave fishing boat, and all three boats were under his control. ”
"He told the lowly that the reason why the goods could not be sold at a high price this time was because there were many people who were war slaves and were sold into slavery after being defeated and captured."
Xu Liuzi said this, pointing to the hundreds of slaves on the platform.
"Your Highness, don't look at them hanging their heads one by one, but as long as you give them a knife and armor, ordinary tigers and leopards are not their opponents!"
"Just talking about this platform, I will see a few good seedlings in the lowly position, as long as they are thrown into the army for training, they are people who dare to kill and fight!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded when he heard this, and the doubts in his heart instantly became clear.
No wonder the fourth uncle took a fancy to these people, he should have heard the wind in the capital, so he hurriedly sent someone over to buy them, planning to bring them back to Yandi to train into an army, right?
"Your Highness, Wang Tie has already gone to negotiate with the boss, should we stop them?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head.
"No!"
"You go and call Zhang Zongjun, he has a way to solve this matter."
"No!"
After a while, Zhang Zongjun rushed over.
"Your Highness, your name is Weichen?"
"Lone is hungry, accompany Lone to eat a bowl of chaos!"
"Okay!"
"It just so happens that Weichen's stomach is also growling, and sure enough, he is not worried about food and clothing with His Royal Highness, hehehe."
"Poor mouth!"
The two came to an open-air chaos stall, and without waiting for Zhu Yunxi to touch his pocket, Zhang Zongjun threw out a few copper dollars and ordered two bowls of chaos.
The stall owner took the money, and his subordinates quickly wrapped Chaos, and after a while, they came over with two bowls of Chaos.
"Two guest officers use slowly!"
"If you don't feel that it tastes good, there is soy sauce and spicy sauce on the table, you can watch it yourself!"
"Thank you boss!"
Zhu Yunxi picked up the small bowl with spicy seeds, scooped a spoonful of chili peppers from it and put it in the chaos bowl, and snorted and ate it.
"I didn't expect this thing to be popularized first!"
If this is said to ordinary people, ordinary people may not be able to touch Zhu Yunxi's thinking. But for Zhang Zongjun, he instantly guessed what Zhu Yunxi was referring to.
"It's not strange!"
"Since His Highness has been in power, the world has been peaceful, and the people no longer have to worry about hunger."
"Although corn and sweet potatoes are good, the people are not short of food, and the desire to grow naturally is not high. Comparatively speaking, this kind of appetite is more popular with the people. ”
Zhu Yunxi sighed secretly when he heard this.
"If that's the reason, I'd rather sweet potatoes and corn never have room to grow in Daming."
"But this wish is too difficult to realize, this year Hunan and Hubei have failed harvests, Shandong and Hebei also have frequent rains and floods, Shanxi and other places are still drought......
"If it weren't for the food supply from Vietnam, Siam and other places, maybe the land south of the Yangtze River would be starving all over the place!"
When Zhang Zongjun heard this, he hurriedly offered a rainbow fart.
"It doesn't depend on the emperor's grandson Shengming that the people of the world can live in peace and enjoy this peaceful and prosperous world!"
Zhu Yunxi humbly accepted Zhang Zongjun's praise, and after eating a bowl of chaos, he pointed to the platform not far away.
"Now there are more and more slaves from the foreign domain, and I am worried that in a hundred years, there will be more foreign feudal people in the realm of the Ming Dynasty than our Ming people, or the Hu and Han will be mixed, messing with my Chinese bloodline."
"You have to think of a way, not only to meet the needs of the Ming Dynasty for foreign labor, but also to put an end to such hidden dangers, and not to make any big mess."
"This ......"
Zhang Zongjun never expected that the imperial grandson would make such an arrogant and unreasonable request.
This is both and again, and in the end, it is simply going to force him, a cabinet bachelor, to death!
"Your Highness, this matter is really not easy, Weichen ......"
Zhu Yunxi didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.
"Lone believes in you!"
"By the way, the three masters are very old, and they recommended you to Gu to serve as the first assistant after them!"
"Shousuke?"
Zhang Zongjun's eyes lit green when he heard this.
Daming now has no prime minister, and their cabinet bachelor has the name of half-phase. And the first assistant in the cabinet bachelor, that is a veritable "full phase", in addition to the name is different from the previous prime minister, the power he has is even greater than that of Hu Weiyong and others before!
His greatest wish in this life is to be able to join the cabinet and become a first assistant!
"Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not hesitate!"
After Zhu Yunxi finished eating Chaos, he led the Songjiang Prefect and others to draw a circle, and he wanted to replan Songjiang Mansion and make this place the world's largest metropolis, leaving Zhang Zongjun alone in the wonton stall.
"Both ...... Again...... And ......"
"The imperial grandson is really a little embarrassed......"
Just when Zhang Zongjun was worried, he suddenly heard a male duck voice.
"Dare to ask Master Zhang, can you see my little Zhu Gongzi?"
As soon as Zhang Zongjun heard this, he knew that Wang De was a waste, and he had lost His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.
"If you look west, you should be going to the Whampoa......
"Our family has thanked Master Zhang!"
Zhang Zongjun rolled his eyes disdainfully when he heard this, as if who is rare for your dead eunuch Xie Xie.
However, just when Zhang Zongjun looked at Wang De's back gradually moving away, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a good way to perfectly meet the needs of the imperial grandson!
"That's right!"
"Wouldn't it be enough to turn them all into eunuchs?"
Zhang Zongjun did it when he thought of it, and ordered someone to go to the capital to ask for help on the spot.
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, only the imperial palace and medical school were able to do this.
However, medical students may not be willing, but relatively speaking, the group of old eunuchs in the palace dare to do it if they give money!
The most important thing is that you don't have to pursue any safety too much in this matter, even if you accidentally kill someone, it's not a big deal!
The more Zhang Zongjun thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, but when he sent people back to the capital and asked Qin Deshun and Hao Wenjie and others from Tai Hospital for help, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
The imperial grandson should have thought of this method a long time ago, but he deliberately didn't say it, and let himself do it for him, right?
The more Zhang Zongjun thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, after all, this matter was disgraceful, and spreading it would hinder the reputation of the emperor's grandson.
However, for the position of first assistant, he Zhang Zongjun carried this black cauldron!
The palace of the king of Yan, the capital.
Zhu Di heard that there was a new batch of war slaves in the city, so he hurriedly sent his henchmen to investigate. As long as the news is true, even if he spends a million taels of silver, he will buy these war slaves back!
Now he is not short of money, he is not short of iron, as long as there are enough warriors, he can arm a strong army!
It's just that this move is bound to attract the attention of people who are interested, how to avoid this problem?
Every time Zhu Di encounters a problem that cannot be solved, he will go to Yao Guangxiao to discuss it in the name of Shangxiang.
On this day, as soon as Yao Guangxiao settled in the meditation room, his heart jumped, and he sensed that someone outside the door was outside.
"But His Highness is visiting at night?"
Zhu Di pushed open the door, laughed and walked into Yao Guangxiao's meditation room.
"I really can't hide anything from Master Yao!"
"Gu recently wanted to buy a batch of Taixi war slaves, but I don't know what the name is, and I asked Master Yao to solve Gu's doubts."
"Tessie War Slave?"
"Hmm!"
"The land of Taixi is not as good as the Great Ming, it is said that the entire land of Taixi is comparable to the Great Ming, but there are hundreds of small countries. These small states were mixed up with more than a dozen large countries to attack each other, and whenever they were defeated on the battlefield, they would be captured by the enemy and sold into slavery by other countries. ”
"This time, the city boss brought back 10,000 war slaves from the land of Taixi, and he wanted to buy them all, and then ......"
