One order after another was issued, and Xiao Ming explained all the affairs of the fiefdom, so as not to cause chaos at that time.

He also asked Pang Yukun to write down all his words, and he would punish anyone who didn't complete the task at that time.

Finally, he said: "Do not think that you will be at ease if you have obtained the title, but if you do not want to make progress and waste the title that the king has given you, the king can still take them back." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the officials and generals suddenly became solemn, and they did not want to lose this honor.

Secretly vowed to work harder in the future.

The meeting lasted until the evening, and Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the work was finally completed, and he was able to go to Chang'an with peace of mind.

Of course, there are still some people who have not read the Tao at this meeting, not that they do not have titles, but that these people are not in Qingzhou now.

For example, Liang Dahai, a slave trader, Qian Dafu, a mine owner, and Yue Yun, who is now in a shipyard in Dengzhou.

While he was keeping an eye on the construction of the Galen ship, he was also recruiting cadets in Dengzhou to increase the number of naval personnel.

After the meeting, Xiao Ming went straight back to the palace, and he was relaxed after explaining the government affairs.

After Xiao Ming left, Pang Yukun, Niu Ben and others also arrived outside the Governor's Mansion.

At this time, everyone immediately reveled in the honor of their title.

Lu Fei was the first to say proudly: "Oh, two thousand taels of silver, six hundred acres of Yongye Field, how to do this?" ”

Hearing this, Luo Xin said disdainfully: "What should I do?" It's not easy to do, just buy a few slaves to farm, my family's Yongye field is much bigger than this. ”

"Your family belongs to your father, General Luo, what does it have to do with you? You're just like me. Lu Fei looked unhappy.

Niu Ben sighed with emotion: "Hey, I don't know how to use this ten thousand taels of silver, Your Highness is really generous." ”

Lu Fei was suddenly compared, he said with a hippie smile: "Dudu, if you don't know how to spend, I can help you spend, I am familiar with Liang Dahai, and when he comes back, he will take the money to buy you some slaves, and help you also see a slave plantation, this is not a worry about eating and drinking in the future." ”

The people who are now rewarded are all holding Lu Fei's thoughts at this time.

They already had land in their homes, but now they had so much more land, and they had money in their hands, and they all thought of buying slaves to cultivate this eternal field.

Pang Yukun shook his head when he heard this, but there was no way, he was also facing this problem now.

He said: "Aren't we all following His Highness to be able to soar in the future?" Since His Royal Highness has already rewarded us, there is no need for us to hide it, I think Lu Fei is right, it is good to buy a few slaves and come back to farm, and the people take food as the sky. ”

"It's just that the slaves bought by Liang Dahai are all His Highness, where do we go to buy slaves." Li Kaiyuan knew Liang Dahai's business very well, and poured a basin of cold water on everyone at this time.

Lu Fei said: "Isn't there anyone who trades slaves except Liang Dahai? ”

"Yes, but very little." Pang Yukun frowned, "Now that Qingzhou lacks a population, His Highness is worried about this matter, so naturally he will not be willing to give his slaves to us, but Li Kaiyuan, don't your merchants have people who engage in slave trade?" ”

Li Kaiyuan recalled for a moment and said: "This is true, but their scale is very small, and they are also available today, not tomorrow, and the most important thing is that our Highness has not yet agreed to these merchants to trade slaves." ”

"You are a killer, His Royal Highness didn't ask and said that he forgot, why don't you ask, this matter will be handed over to you, if I can't buy a slave, I will look for you Li Kaiyuan." Lu Fei looked like a scoundrel.

He is used to fighting with Li Kaiyuan.

"Captain Lu, you are also too shameless." After saying this, Li Kaiyuan suddenly found that everyone was looking at him eagerly.

After a deep sigh, he said depressedly: "Okay, okay, I'll go and ask Your Highness to see if other merchants can be allowed to trade slaves in Qingzhou." ”

After that, Li Kaiyuan went to the Qi Palace.

When Pang Yukun and the others saw it, they immediately laughed, and he said to Niu Ben: "In my opinion, His Royal Highness attaches great importance to this slave plantation, and this potato and pepper will be very promising in the future. ”

Niu Ben looked indifferent, he had seen through the ups and downs of his life, and he just wanted to keep his reputation in his old age, he said: "We will plant whatever Pang Changshi plants, and we still believe in Pang Changshi's vision." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

After all, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun are the closest on weekdays, and Pang Yukun knows Xiao Ming's thoughts very well.

After chatting for a while at the Governor's Palace, everyone went home, and they couldn't wait to tell their families the good news.

At this time, Li Kaiyuan had already arrived at the Qi Palace, and he still walked in.

"Li Kaiyuan, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the king's reward for you? Xiao Ming was a little surprised when he learned that Li Kaiyuan was coming.

"Your Highness, this is not, how dare the lower officials question His Royal Highness's reward, speaking of which, the lower officials were forced by Pang Changshi and others, they had to let the lower officials ask His Royal Highness if they could open the civil slave trade, so that they could buy slaves and go back to farming."

"The Civil Slave Trade." Xiao Ming suddenly came to his senses.

Since he let Liang Dahai sell slaves, the slave trade in Qingzhou has almost always been monopolized, but now this situation obviously needs to change.

After all, in addition to Qingzhou, he also has the vast land of Youzhou, and now these lands need a lot of labor, and it is obviously impossible to monopolize them with their own ability, so they can only mobilize more people to buy land for plantations, which can accelerate the development of Qingzhou's economy.

After all, there is a lot of power in numbers, and he needs to be a leader, not a person who stifles the overall development for his own interests.

So he said: "They are right, so let's take this opportunity to open up the slave trade, encourage the merchants in the chamber of commerce to engage in the slave trade, and at the same time allow them to open a slave trade market in Qingzhou." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Kaiyuan was very excited.

Xiao Ming nodded, now that the vigorous slave trade in the West is already underway, he can't lag behind.

Perhaps from a modern point of view, there are no human rights in this trade, but the fact is that he is in an era where there are no human rights, so there is no need to talk about human rights and be a virgin.

After all, the question is somewhat insignificant compared to the fortunes of the country and the accumulation of wealth.
