"Duke Wei, please speak." Li Ke bowed slightly.

"Your Highness is naturally well-intentioned, and the old minister also knows that such a system may be unreasonable, but this system also gives many people the opportunity to tide over difficulties, such as children who can't be fed, although the word selling is not good, but to some large families as slaves, at least have a chance to live."

"And although there are slaves and maids who were abused to death by their masters, they are also a minority after all, and ordinary households also have homicides. I don't know about this matter, how does His Highness think about it? Fang Xuanling said very humbly.

As soon as Fang Xuanling's question came out, Li Ke knew that although Lao Fang's question seemed to be standing next to another group of people, this was giving Li Ke an opportunity to explain.

"This goes back to the problem I mentioned before, this part of the people can sell themselves as slaves, but in the form of ten, twenty, or even thirty years of long contracts, just like the contract of the labor law, give a certain basic monthly money, the monthly money can be very low, after all, the main family bought him, but there is one point, personal rights should be the same as the household."

"Or in another way, to repay debts with work, the court comes forward, for example, some people who sell themselves to bury their mothers, or parents who sell their children, can come forward by the court to give them a certain amount of money, so that these parents or children can work for the court for free for many years in the future or with monthly money with only basic living guarantees."

"But their identity is still a household, and they are still an upright Tang people." Li Ke said with a serious expression.

Don't look at the issue of just one identity, it is an identity, and I don't know how many people have died in Datang.

The identity gap between the non-editors and the editors is too big, "Of course, how to do this matter still needs to be considered by the father, and the son is just a suggestion." Li Ke turned to Li Shimin and said, "But Erchen wants to use Erchen's personal name as a pilot." ”

"Huh? How do you want to pilot? Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said.

"Erchen will buy all the non-editorial households in Chang'an City, and let people release the news, if they sell their sons and daughters because of difficulties, Erchen is willing to lend them money and temporarily provide them with a job." Li Ke said directly, "After a while, my father can take a look at their state again." ”

As soon as Li Ke's words came out, everyone looked at each other, all the non-editors of the dental bank in Chang'an? It's not a small amount of money, but is it worth buying so many people, just to save them? None of them themselves may be willing to save themselves.

However, as soon as the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Ke's words, he instantly "understood" Li Ke's thoughts, heh, how noble did you think he was? Isn't the result just to solve the problem of not being able to hire people? Isn't it to solve the problem of funding to the greatest extent?

Buying these so-called non-editorials, although they retain their identities, isn't the monthly money of these people just how much Li Ke wants to give? Even if Li Ke let them work for free for a few years, they must be willing, after all, there are few people who are really willing to become non-editors.

It turns out that this is his greatest purpose! The eldest grandson Wuji thought that he had seen through Li Ke's thoughts, and he stood up directly: "Your Majesty, the minister also has a question to ask His Royal Highness the King of Shu." ”

Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, then paused and said, "Sikong, please speak." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu's proposal, the minister also agreed, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is benevolent, the minister admires, if all the people of the Tang Dynasty except for criminals, there is no non-editor, and the Tang Dynasty Shengshichen also wants to see it. Just now, His Royal Highness the King of Shu proposed, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu was willing to use it as a pilot, but the minister had a few details to ask, what would His Royal Highness do if he bought these non-editorial households who sold themselves? Eldest Sun Wuji asked with a calm face.

The eldest grandson Wuji pouted his ass Li Ke knew what he was going to fart, but Li Ke pretended not to know, but said very simply: "Change their identities to make up households again, and sign a certain agreement with them, for example, if I buy a slave, I will sign a contract with him, which is equivalent to me borrowing him consistently, he works for me, and the monthly money is 100 Wen per month, and he needs to work for me for a year, which is equivalent to paying it off." ”

"After paying it off, it has nothing to do with me whether he continues to work on his own or quits his job to work elsewhere. The reason why I do this is to give these people a chance, a chance to live uprightly, and I hope that even if they become some wealthy families, domestic servants and servants of the family of the gate lords, it is only a contractual relationship, and one day they want to live their own lives, and they will have the opportunity to withdraw. ”

"Not a slave for a day, but a slave for life."

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu is really merciful, and the old minister agrees with His Royal Highness the King of Shu's opinion, but I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Shu will settle the monthly money with these people who have signed a contract?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked another question.

Li Ke sneered, knowing that you would fight this idea, but Li Ke didn't care, but said directly: "Of course, I treat everyone else equally." They only need to pay more interest on the borrowed money. ”

"Good! The minister has nothing to say! Since His Royal Highness the King of Shu is willing to use Chang'an City as a pilot, the minister agrees with this opinion. The eldest grandson Wuji said decisively and loudly, such a big pit Li Ke wants to jump in, the eldest grandson Wuji is naturally not welcome, he wants to see how much money you Li Ke has.

Anyway, it's just a pilot now, and there is still a long way to go before it really becomes a national policy, because this involves not one person, not just the gate valve family, including all the wealthy families such as businessmen and wealthy families, which is different from decisions such as "Datang Weekly", which is definitely not something that can be decided in a short period of time.

The eldest grandson Wuji agreed, and naturally no one else objected, anyway, Li Ke was willing to take this matter, so let Li Ke do it.

"Since all the ministers have agreed, Father, the sons have another request, please allow the sons to be able to change the status of these people from non-household to household status." Li Ke confirmed with Li Shimin again, although the non-editors said that after being purchased by the main family, as long as the main family is willing, they can return their identities and deeds of sale to let them become editors again, but they still have to go through the government.

"Yes, after the next dynasty, I will ask Chang Lin to prepare an edict to the county magistrates of Wannian and Chang'an counties." Li Shimin nodded and simply agreed.

After thanking him again, Li Ke directly returned to his position and sat down, looking at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ke sneered, do you think I am trying to avoid Gao Yueqian from finding a way out for myself, right? You'll soon learn that I'm copying your lead.

After buying all the non-weaving households in Chang'an City, when the eldest grandson Wuji and their blacksmith shop couldn't hire people, they had no chance to buy these slaves to work.

As for Li Ke, who is hired is not hired? Buying these people is nothing more than giving them their salaries in advance.

I just don't know, when the time comes, who will you people go to work in their shops?
