Chapter Eighty-Four: Finally Normal?

"Unless slaves are allowed."

After Xu Wuxiang hesitated for a long time, he still said what was in his heart.

"If you want to develop Liaodong quickly, you can't use slaves."

Xu Wuxiang's voice gradually became louder.

"If you want me to take over the development of Liaodong, you must allow me to use slaves!"

Xu Wu wanted to say to Zhang Guozhu categorically.

"As far as my current situation is concerned, I don't want to use slaves to quickly develop Liaodong!"

Xu Wuxiang found that he had found the best way to develop Liaodong, and decided not to change his mind.

"Your Majesty didn't send the Ministry of Supervision to monitor your itinerary, and when you are in Chang'an, if you go to Your Majesty to theorize about this matter at this time, believe it or not, you will be monitored in the toilet from now on?"

Zhang Guozhu scoffed at Xu Wuxiang's idea, he didn't think that the emperor would open up the introduction of slaves in order to develop Liaodong.

Xu Wuxiang left the Prime Minister's Mansion without saying a word, and rode away with his escort that night, and he was going to run to Luoyang first, and then give the emperor a book to explain his arguments.

In the past, the Lantian Dynasty was not without the large-scale use of slaves, among them, in the Nanyang, in the Western Regions, there were huge slave groups, if it were not for the use of a large number of slaves, the development speed of the Nanyang would not be so fast, and the battle in the Western Regions would not be so smooth.

Since slavery is a good thing, it should be used for a while, not just a good thing because of the care of face.

Obedience, in Zhang Guozhu, Han Lingshan, Xu Wu thinks that these people do not exist.

As long as they think it is right, they will fight for it to the end.

It's just that they are very methodical, just like Xu Wuxiang did this time, they rode to Luoyang day and night, and then sent "Liaodong Enabling Slaves" to Yun Zhao's desk with 800 miles of expedited as soon as possible.

His act of running away in vain was not in vain.

Yun Zhao's follow-up means couldn't be used, originally Yun Zhao was going to use Xu Wu's desire to move Yanjing to knead him again, but he didn't expect that he was also a smart person, so he ran away as soon as possible.

It's not good to use this excuse now, after all, people are now in Luoyang, not in Yanjing, so they can't stay privately.

After reading Xu Wuxiang's recital, Yun Zhao understood that Xu Wuxiang not only wanted to use slaves in Liaodong, but also prepared to use slaves in the matter of building railways, which was the sequelae of Yun Zhang's use of slaves in building the Baocheng Railway.

Iron striking has to be hard, what Yun Zhang can do, he Xu Wu can't do it?

Not only did he have to do it, but he had to expand the use of slaves to all aspects.

This is naturally not possible, Yun Zhao did not agree.

Li Guocheng took the note that Yun Zhao had just reviewed, and he was a little unsure, so he confirmed it.

"Your Majesty, did you really agree to Xu Wu's suggestion that he wanted to use slaves?"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "It is only allowed to be used in Liaodong and the construction of railways." ”

Li Guocheng said: "If you open the opening, if you want to block it in the future, I'm afraid there will be no chance." ”

Yun Zhao pointed to the document in Li Guocheng's hand and said, "Look at this note, do I have room to refuse?" Since the idea was put forward by Xu Wu, you have to remember to send this piece to Tai Shi Ling, and publish it in the newspaper so that everyone can participate in the discussion.

It also made Xu Wu want to know what the consequences would be if he forced me to do so, knowing that I was unwilling to use slaves in the country. ”

Li Guocheng said: "Xu Wu thinks that it will be the first time that I will use slaves in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "That's right, I don't carry this pot, and at the same time, I can inform Jin Hu that I can give or sell the Koreans to Xu Wuxiang, and also inform Shi Lang to do the same, and also inform the local cities and cities to allow strong slaves to enter the country, but they can only participate in the construction of railways and the development of Liaodong." ”

Li Guocheng agreed, and hurriedly went to do something.

After the "Lantian Daily" was issued, there was an uproar in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, especially the most intense discussion in the Yushan University Hall, and because the Yushan Academy had no position, many students published articles in their own names, accusing Xu Wuxiang.

Xu Wuxiang, who had already walked to Shandong five days later, also saw the newspaper that published the news, and after crumpling the newspaper into a ball and throwing it away with an expressionless face, he said to the accompanying adjutant: "Everyone is obviously a person with equal interests, but at this time, they are vain, and they are really shameless."

Zhang Ming, you immediately set off and went straight to Hangzhou City, and told them that I want all the strong slaves in their hands who have not entered the country, and I must tell them that as long as there are men, not women. ”

Adjutant Zhang Ming was puzzled and said, "Sir, your reputation ......"

Xu Wuxiang smiled and said: "What kind of reputation do you want, hurry up and do something, I'm worried that things will be done late, and people will increase prices." ”

Zhang Ming hurriedly took the dispatch list and went all the way south, also day and night.

When Xu Wu wanted to ride a horse into Yanjing again, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the tall city gate: "After all, we have become a real monarch and minister." ”

Xu Wuxiang did not go to see Zhang Guozhu, but came to Yun Zhao in person to receive the will, accepted these two arduous tasks with a very peaceful attitude, did not say anything else to Yun Zhao, and just left the palace respectfully.

Similarly, Yun Zhao didn't want to explain anything to Xu Wu, and calmly accepted the result of the slave entering the Ming Dynasty......

Zhang Debang in Hangzhou is very happy!

After getting the newspaper, he didn't stop for a moment, and hurried to his small house by the canal, wanting to tell the good news to the Zheng family from North Korea as soon as possible.

"Lady, lady, I can finally help you change the boat people's household registration to a legitimate household registration."

Before pushing the door open, Zhang Debang shouted excitedly.

Zheng, who was making baby clothes, slowly stood up and looked at the happy Zhang Debang, with a smile on his face, and slowly saluted: "There is Lao Fujun." ”

Zhang Debang handed the newspaper to Zheng, then helped Zheng, who was pregnant, to sit down, and pointed to the front page of "Lantian Daily" with his finger and said: "Your Majesty has allowed foreigners to enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, you don't always stay in the house in the future, you can go out in the open." ”

Zheng carefully read the message, looked at Zhang Debang and said, "Is this true?" ”

Zhang Debang said with a smile: "Naturally, it's true, you will be my Ming man in the future, and you can live more relaxed." ”

Zheng shook his head and said, "The newspaper said that only men are allowed to come in. ”

Zhang Debang said with a smile: "Everyone was not allowed to come in before, didn't you come in too?" Now, although only men are allowed to come in, because of the lack of manpower in the local area, so many women are blocked on the dock by the city in vain, and the major embroidery, textile, and garment workshops in Hangzhou need a large number of women.

Xu Wu thought that since Xu Gong dared to set a precedent, the prefect of Hangzhou would dare to release floods, these officials, I know very well. ”

Zheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and knelt at Zhang Debang's feet and said, "The concubine has something she wants to ask for her husband!" ”

Zhang Debang smiled and helped Zheng up and said: "Be careful, be careful, don't hurt the child in your womb, you say, as long as I can do anything, I will definitely satisfy you." ”

Zheng took out a piece of paper from his arms, and a portrait was drawn on the paper, the appearance of a middle-aged man, and the picture was very expressive.

Zhang Debang took the piece of paper, looked at the man on the picture and said, "Who is this?" ”

Zheng cried: "This is the concubine's brother, we were separated when we were in North Korea, but, according to the concubine's thoughts, he should be blocked on the dock by the Hangzhou City Bosi, begging the husband to rescue my brother, the concubine is willing to tie the grass ring, and repay the husband's great kindness for the rest of his life." ”

When Zhang Debang heard Zheng say that this man was his brother, a smile immediately appeared on his originally gloomy face, and he agreed: "Okay, okay, if you had said it earlier, I might have already gotten people out."

I have a cousin who works on an errand in Hangzhou, and when I give her the little parrot's small wooden boat, I will go. ”

After speaking, Zhang Debang called out to Brother Parrot loudly.

A little girl in a green jacket ran out in a hurry, jumped into Zhang Debang's arms with a sudden jump, and was hugged tightly by Zhang Debang, and the two of them were intimate on their foreheads for a while, and Zhang Debang took out a wooden boat the size of a palm in the pleading voice of the little parrot.

Seeing the appearance of the girl laughing with Zhang Debang, the green tendons on Zheng's forehead burst out, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to watch Zhang Debang and the little girl Brother Parrot manipulating the small wooden boat in the water tank.

"Listen to Daddy, there will be a little wooden man tomorrow, which can be placed on a small boat."

"Daddy." Brother Parrot called out to Daddy crisply, but as if he remembered something terrible, he quickly looked back at his mother.

The mother's eyes were cold and cruel, and Brother Parrot couldn't help but wrap his arms around Zhang Debang's neck, not daring to look at it again.

Zheng smiled and took the parrot off Zhang Debang's arms, and said to Zhang Debang: "Husband, it's better to go early and return early, and the concubine will prepare two newly learned Hangzhou dishes for your husband, and wait for your husband to come back and taste it." ”

Zhang Debang agreed with a smile, and reached out and gently pinched the little parrot's little face, and finally fished the small wooden boat out of the water tank and shook off the water droplets on it, and told the little parrot to dry the small wooden boat in the shade, and did not dare to expose it to the sun, so he hurriedly went to Hangzhou City.

Zheng saw Zhang Debang walking around the corner, closed the door, covered the little parrot's mouth with one hand, and twisted the little parrot's fart with the other hand. share, and said in a low voice: "Your father is a noble man, not this person who does not learn and has no skills, how dare you give such a noble title to this man as Daddy?" ”

The little parrot wanted to cry loudly, but he couldn't, his two little legs kicked wildly in the air, and strings of tears rolled out of his two big eyes.
