Chapter 607: A Crime of Not War!

In the idea of Ren 8000, it is best to have three years of compulsory labor, followed by five years of compulsory paid labor, that is, these five years can give them a little freedom, and at the same time give a certain amount of remuneration, and gradually increase as the years go by.

In this way, after eight years, the captives can be reinstated as civilians.

Of course, at that time, Yunguo was long gone, and their home was long gone. Some will leave, but others will stay and join another "construction team" as artisans or salaried laborers.

After writing all this, Ren Baqian pushed open the window, and the moon was already in the sky outside, and it was already late at night.

Turning his head to look, he found that the food on the table was sent to him at some point, although it was already cold, but at this time he was hungry and did not dislike it at all, and quickly finished pulling it and lay down on the bed to practice "Ruyi Guan".

After giving the students a lesson the next morning, Ren Baqian returned to the palace and found the empress and showed the empress what he had written last night.

When she looked at the front, the empress didn't have any expression, and it was natural to formulate rules and regulations. Even the ancient clan has its own system, and it is impossible for an emperor not to know the role of order.

However, when she saw the piece of paper with the remarks written on it, the empress was surprised: "Pay them wages?"

Da Yao is poor and white, and now the treasury can starve to death of rats, and finally brought back a batch of loot before it could enter the household department, and you actually want to pay these captives in such a situation?

"Although I know that you think differently than everyone else, after all, you live in a completely different world than here. But are you sick for such a suggestion?" the empress put down the paper and looked at Ren Baqian with a probing face.

Ren Baqian couldn't laugh or cry, but the empress's reaction was something he had foreseen a long time ago. Even if the empress doesn't mention it, others will mention it, so there are already countermeasures, first of all, I will give them some hope to improve work efficiency and reduce mistakes, and finally summarize a sentence: people's hearts are dead, so what can they do with them?

Then it was explained about:

"Your Majesty, these wages are just going around in their hands, and they are still back to us in the end.

These people work hard in the prisoner camp every day, build roads or mine, today does not know tomorrow, after a day of hard work there is no time to relax, what can they do in this situation?

It's nothing more than eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling!

Eat, that's the easiest, want to eat something you like, spend money, want to drink, spend money, and many people's money comes back.

Even if they can endure it, when the time comes, find two people who have nothing to do with it and drink a few sips of old wine, and then praise it a few times, and then others can bear it?

And they can't always have the same price as the outside in the prisoner camp or other places, right? A jar of bad wine outside is one tael of silver, and when they arrive in the prisoner camp, it is three taels of silver, and they don't have three taels of silver a month's wages, and if they save up for a few months, they can only buy a jar of bad wine and enjoy themselves.

And then there is prostitution, if you get a group of Qinglou women to go over every once in a while, I'm afraid you can get half of the money back.

The last is gambling, which does not need to be said, gambling is only the dealer is sure not to lose, we are this dealer.

These are the things that no one can escape, especially in a place like the prisoner camp.

So the wages just went around in their hands and then came back to us. At the same time, it can also make them feel that His Majesty is benevolent, and they can work with peace of mind, so why not?"

"Do you like to eat, or drink, prostitute, or gamble?" asked the empress with a smile as she looked at him.

"Well, just look at my fatness, I must like to eat and drink, and the so-called wine bag and rice bag are like me.

Besides, with His Majesty guarding the unparalleled in the world, how could I be interested in other things? If there is a woman like Your Majesty who has other ideas, it must be blind or foolish.

I'm obviously not either, how smart and clever I am!" Ren Baqian squeezed his eyebrows and boasted.

"Someone said, the house flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers!Otherwise, why do so many people go to the Qinglou!" the empress said lightly.

"Who is that 'someone'? I'm going to kill him!" Ren Baqian immediately looked unkind.

"Hmph!" the empress gave him a charming look, and then skipped the matter.

and carefully looked at the regulations of Ren 8,000, especially in the remarks, the empress said: "These are feasible." As for the note, if it is according to what you said, you can also try it. But...... Tomorrow when you go to court, bring it up, and you will know when the time comes. ”

The next day, Ren Baqian didn't go to the academy and waited outside the palace early in the morning, which attracted the attention of many people.

The main Ren Baqian has not been to the court a few times at all, let alone waited here, and it is obvious that there is something.

said hello to Tong Zhenye and other people from the Ministry of Rites, and then the Great Deacon Lao Shi Qing and Shangshu Xuanhua of the Ministry of Rites were kind when they saw him, after all, he had been in the Ministry of Rites for a month.

As for the others, they all looked at each other from afar, and they didn't even say hello.

Waiting for the court, Ren Baqian took a few steps forward and took out the things he wrote and preached them again, and the last words of the empress yesterday made him wary, so he carefully scrutinized it after going back last night.

As he and the empress thought, the rest of the people didn't care, and when it came to wages, everyone fried the pot.

Paying captives has never been done before, and it is simply a fantasy.

Especially the people in the household department, such as the household department Shangshu Tu Wan, the pair of willow eyebrows were upside down, if it weren't for the identity of Ren Baqian, she would be able to shoot Ren Baqian on the wall on the spot.

Now as long as you ask her for money, it's like digging up the root of her life.

Next, Ren Baqian once again talked to everyone about his "left hand out and right hand in" plan.

According to him, this is called the economy, and as long as money is circulated, more value can be created. And the money is always in circulation, and it will eventually return to the hands of the imperial court.

Yet some silver was still lost in the process. Tu Wan keenly grasped the problems in his theory. Whether it is eating, drinking or prostitution, only gambling is not capitalless.

"The money lost is nothing compared to the value they create. And whether it is eating, drinking, or prostituting, those who have made money will still take out the silver and spend it, so that the market will be rich! The market will be able to circulate!" Ren Baqian patiently explained.

"However, the money was taken out of the treasury. Tu Wan's face was not good, she bit one alive, the money should have been in the treasury and used elsewhere. If there is no such expenditure, the money can be used for other departments such as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

No matter how Ren Baqian explained, she was unmoved.

Paying prisoners is unprecedented! Not before, and not again!

And Tu Wan's words made Qin Chuan and the others also moved, Tu Wan was right, the treasury took out a part of the money to pay those people, even if it came back a part, it lost a part in the end, and it was their departments that were damaged in the end!

Ren Baqian was about to explain to everyone again what is called economy, what is circulation, and what is called hiding wealth from the people, but was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Governor Ren, the old man thinks you have to reconsider this matter. Tong Zhenye was originally watching the excitement on the side, but now he has changed his position and began to persuade Ren Baqian.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he pitched eight buckets, and forced all the words below Ren Baqian into his stomach.

"Yes, this is ridiculous!" the others spoke, and they all said that they had already given you enough face to persuade you, and if it was someone else, we would just go out.

There is only one person who supports Ren Baqian, and that is Qin Chuan, with the mentality that as long as Tong Zhenye supports something, he must oppose it, and what Tong Zhenye opposes must be supported, and immediately after Tong Zhenye opened his mouth, he immediately stood on Ren Baqian's side.

However, after the others opened their mouths one after another, and used "Do you want to fight alone or in a group, you pick all of us alone, and we all beat you in a group fight!" After seeing such eyes, Qin Chuan immediately followed the crowd, feeling that what everyone said was not wrong at all, it was really the words of Lao Cheng to hold the country!

The court was like a vegetable market, and a group of loud voices were denouncing Ren Baqian, and Ren Baqian's next words were all drowned.

Ren Baqian was angry with their toothache, and he was even more of a headache by a bunch of loud voices, and he really wanted to shout, "The erector is not enough and the plan!"

looked up at the empress, and saw that the empress was sitting on it, and the old god was there, with an expression of watching the play.

"As for what Governor Ren said about letting them work hard, it's also easy, according to what Governor Ren said, let them resume their civilian status after eight years of work.

If you don't do it well, then you will be cut with a knife.

The knife is on the neck, presumably they will make a choice!" said Tong Zhenye again.

The method is always simple and crude!

The crowd continued to nod.

It seemed to the crowd that this was enough. As for the salary that Ren Baqian said, it is completely unnecessary.

In the end, the controversy ended with the victory of all the people in the court of the ancient clan.

Ren Baqian's words were all drowned in everyone's spitting stars, and no one could hear them except himself, how could he argue?

"How is it?" After going down, the empress and Ren Baqian smiled when they returned to the palace.

"Their voices are too loud, it's not a crime of war!" Ren Baqian was unconvinced! He was going to give a lesson to these people, but he didn't expect to be crushed by a bunch of people with a loud voice!

How can this make him embarrassed?

At the same time, I was ruthless in my heart, and the next time I went to the court, I must bring a megaphone! Let them know what it means to crush with their voices!

The empress chuckled when she heard Ren Baqian's answer, it was not the first time she had seen this group of people noisy. In the end, it turned into a scuffle, which also happened from time to time.

Although it can be suppressed by force, it can't be suppressed by force all the time, right?

For Ren Baqian to find a way back, the empress is not very optimistic.

If these people found out that their voices were not as loud as Ren 8,000, they would have been bigger than who had a big fist.
