Feng Cheng smiled and watched the two of them play and play, they are both old friends, everyone knows the roots, so naturally they will not make a real fuss.

Feng Cheng looked at He Qiu and asked.

"This Jinsha River waterway is easy to repair, but many sections of the road are not in Yunnan, even if the imperial court is unified to build, the provinces along the way may not be happy."

The reason for this is that the construction of water conservancy projects generally requires local labor to be levied, and the construction of this waterway is no exception.

However, the benefits are basically obtained by the rich provinces of Yunnan and Jiangnan, and the provinces along the way have to contribute people and delays farming, I am afraid they will not be willing.

He Qiu looked at Feng Cheng, who was a little worried, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry so much, you just have to look at the Grand Canal today, how many commercial and prosperous cities it has supported along the way, and those who can become governors of a province are not stupid, not to mention the hearts of the people of Yunnan and the determination of His Majesty, this matter is not as difficult as you think."

When Tang Zhao was still frolicking, when he heard He Qiu's words, he immediately forgot it, and then said.

"That's not going to work! Calculate that let's go to the book together, and then decide to the imperial court, coordinate the provinces, and if you can't make it, half a year has passed, so the efficiency is too low! ”

"I don't think it's as good as this, let's go to the book while opening our own mines, mobilize these toasts, at least use the captives in our hands first, this copper mine can always be sold for money when it is dug up!"

Mu Chun struggled a little, Zhu Yuanzhang had an order before, he didn't like to open mines in various places, thinking that there was a lot of labor input, few minerals were produced, and it couldn't be used for food and clothing, so it didn't make much sense.

What's more, since ancient times, mining has been subject to the control of the imperial court, and at the beginning of the dynasty, it was generally more strictly controlled, and it was not a good thing for them, as lords, to open mines in private.

"Xipinghou, look at it like this, you first call the Tusi from all over Yunnan, I will meet them one by one, reason with them, set up evidence, and let them use these captives to open mines, this is not your mining."

"And I was going to share part of the profits to these toasts, calling them here this time can be regarded as discussing the distribution of benefits, and seeing who will oppose them, and if they oppose them, I think they can be exterminated and the captives thrown into the mine."

Feng Cheng nodded frequently while listening, this method is not bad, and it perfectly circumvents some regulations in the imperial court.

The status of toast is special, there are some things they can do, but Mu Chun they can't do it, and this kind of dirty work can indeed be handed over to them.

Soon, the Xiping Marquis Mansion came forward to gather the generals and soldiers under his command, and signed thousands of signatures in a 10,000-word book, and those who couldn't write directly pressed their handprints.

This book of 10,000 words is to be played to the court, Mu Chun, of course, they hope that the court can make a decision as soon as possible and start the construction of waterways.

For this reason, Mu Chun did not hesitate to use his prestige in the army to let everyone sign together, which already meant to force the imperial court.

Mu Chun also knows the danger behind this, look at the brothers around him, who of them is not eager to open a mine as soon as possible and make a small fortune?

As for the toasts who arrived at the Xiping Marquis Mansion, it was much easier to find hospitality, and those who could listen to Mu Chun's words and rushed to Kunming were all afraid of Daming.

At least on the surface, they are quite obedient, and there are not many people who come, but there are only a dozen toasts, but these are relatively large toast forces.

These people gathered together and discussed what happened to Mu Chun calling them this time, and some even began to speculate whether Mu Chun had been injured in the previous battle.

Soon, Mu Chun took He Qiu to call these people into the Hou Mansion, Mu Chun sat at the top of the position, He Qiu was in the first position on the left, and the other toasts also sat down in turn, guessing in their hearts which child was sitting first on the left.

When everyone was seated, Mu Chun opened his mouth to talk about this incident, and when he heard that Mu Chun intended to develop the copper mine in Dongchuan, he did not hesitate to ask the court for his life to build a waterway, and these toasts were a little moved.

There are some things that they may not know about Mu Chun, but they who have been entrenched in Yunnan for hundreds of years or even thousands of toasts, how can there be anything that is not clear.

There are big mines in Dongchuan, and some of them have opened mines there, but the scale is always small, because of the difficulty of transportation.

But now, if it is really according to what Mu Chun said, the imperial court can build waterways, then these copper mines will be valuable.

These toasts expressed their approval, and some even exaggerated that he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

He Qiu, who was watching these toasts perform coldly, finally coughed lightly and spoke.

"Listen to me, everybody."

Although these toasters didn't know He Qiu, they still had basic vision, so they slowly stopped patting their sycophants and calmed down to listen to what He Qiu had to say.

"Everyone knows that once the waterway is repaired, the mine in Dongchuan is a gold mountain, and the benefits of this must always be shared, and everyone has no doubts about this, right?"

The toasts nodded one after another, this is natural, although they know that the big head will be taken by Daming, but they have nothing unwilling in their hearts, Daming's strength is here, and they are already very satisfied if they can drink some soup and water.

Some people began to think about what would happen to those toasts who didn't come now, if they didn't say well, they would be annihilated by Daming, and they were even more glad in their hearts, it would be good to be Daming's dog as soon as possible.

He Qiu looked at these toasts and began to talk about the principle of benefit distribution that he had discussed with Mu Chun and the others.

To put it bluntly, it's very simple.,Those who are willing to follow the Ming Dynasty.,The high degree of sinicization.,The distribution of benefits is a little more.。

In addition, if there are children in the clan who participate in the Ming army, or find slaves to invest in mining, they can also be distributed a little more, provided that these slaves cannot be Han Chinese, nor can they be from these Tusi families here.

As soon as He Qiu's words came out, these toasts were all bright-eyed, and it may be difficult to sinicize, they are all used to living in the mountains, and they suddenly learn the clothes of the Han people, read and write, and there will be many people who are not adaptable.

But they're good at catching slaves!

When the Yuan Dynasty ruled Yunnan, the Tusi in Yunnan were very strong in their conquest with each other, and many of the Tusi had feuds with each other.

Now there is both hatred and interests, and it is difficult for Toast to hold back from going to war, as long as the war is won, slaves are not everywhere.

It is generally difficult for the Ming army to find the nest of the rebel Tusi in Yunnan, and there are not many prisoners that can be caught, which does not mean that they cannot find the enemy's lair.

Immediately, Tusi stood up and patted his chest and promised that he would definitely catch enough miners for Dongchuan's mining industry.

Some people even fought with each other, saying that they would catch 5,000, and the other said that they would catch 10,000, and the scene was not good.
