Chapter 1050: Slave
"Your Majesty, what should I do now?"
Wang Xuan also scratched his head at this question, and couldn't help but want to ask Xiao Ming's thoughts.
"Sure enough, it's easy to fight the country, but it's difficult to defend the country." Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly.
He used to think that everything would be fine if he defeated a country, and he could exploit the country to his heart's content, but now the facts tell him that everyone in this world has their own ideas, and this is something he cannot change.
Once these vanquished people have their own ideas, they will not play according to his routine, which is the case with the current Wa Kingdom.
"Yamada Nobunaga is very smart, but being smart is always mistaken by being smart, and he thought I would choose between him and his henchmen, and he was very wrong."
Xiao Ming walked outside the door with his hands behind his back, looked at the clouds in the sky, and continued: "How about the secret guards' infiltration of the Wa Kingdom. ”
"Back to the emperor, we have now established our own intelligence agencies in the important cities of the Wa Kingdom, and the movements of the Wa Kingdom can be fed back at any time, and we also have eyeliner around the other daimyos......," Wang Xuan reported his achievements in the Wa Kingdom one by one.
Xiao Ming nodded secretly as he listened, and he said, "From now on, you will carry out the assassination of the leader of the rebels, and at the same time install people into the rebels and support him to become the leader of the rebels. ”
Wang Xuanyan pondered carefully when he heard this, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened, and he said: "The emperor means that the name of the Wa Kingdom is our people. ”
"yes, isn't that the best outcome? As for Yamada Nobunaga and his henchmen, it's time for them to return to dust, and from now on, you can start to prepare, they can use the people of the Wa Kingdom to disrupt my market, and I can use the people of the Wa Kingdom to take the market back. Xiao Ming said.
"Yes, the emperor, there are many people here who are proficient in the Chinese language, and it is still very easy to arrange a status for them." Wang Xuan was overjoyed.
With a smile on the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth, the two discussed a lot of details of this plan, including the actions against the Japanese State after the end of the Nanyang War.
……
Manila.
After more than ten days of rectification, the city of Manila has returned to its former appearance, the only difference is that the merchants who come and go here are no longer Western merchants, but merchants from the Great Chongqing Kingdom.
Because of the Spanish and Dutch operations, Manila has in fact a complete range of living, industrial and commercial facilities, and the spice factories scattered throughout the city and the surrounding mines are well preserved.
Naturally, merchants coveted this, because they would be able to reap the profits of these industries immediately.
So after the war ended, many businessmen flocked to Manila to inspect the situation here, ready to attack at any time.
"Commander, I have to say that these servants trained by the Spaniards are still good, do you want to choose a few to go back and wait for Madame and Miss."
Liu Chen was followed by two natives dressed as servants, whom they had purchased from local indigenous tribes during Spanish and Dutch rule.
In Manila, these men were rigorously trained as good servants of the city, and then sold by the Spaniards and Dutch to other colonies at high prices to serve the nobility.
After the Dutch fled in a hurry, they found many of these natives in the city.
"If you like it, send it back for yourself, I don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night." Yue Yun pursed his lips, "But the Spanish and Dutch are not bad, these natives are not civilized because they have not received education, and they can become obedient servants if they are trained, and now that there is a shortage of slaves in the empire, they can find a way from here." Yue Yun said.
"Not really." Liu Chen said loudly: "How many slaves did you capture after defeating the barbarians?" And how many slaves were there in Siberia? That Australia is a bit indigenous, but the number is also very small, they are not enough, to say that to find high-quality slave resources, you have to start from the South Seas, I once heard that the population of the entire South Seas adds up to at least tens of millions, what India has a population of more than 100 million, such abundant resources are not used is simply a waste. ”
As the two were talking, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded, Yue Yun turned his head to look, and saw Li Kaiyuan walking over with a big belly.
Yue Yun teased: "Li Kaiyuan, you have a lot of oil and water in the past few years, it is said that every time the emperor sees your big belly, he will want to kill you, how much money can you find?" ”
Li Kaiyuan's face suddenly turned green, and he said: "Don't talk nonsense, my fat has nothing to do with being greedy for money, and besides, my Li family is a businessman, and I don't lack that money." ”
"Hahaha......" Yue Yun laughed, he walked over and hugged Li Kaiyuan's shoulders and said, "Joke, it's just a joke, but why did you come to Manila this time." ”
Li Kaiyuan regained his positive color, he said: "You march to fight and ask for money and food, this money is not blown by the wind, this time the emperor sent me to sell the industry that can be sold in Manila, and at the same time open the stagnant mines, now there is more and more domestic commodity trade, which requires more and more dragon coins, if there is not enough gold, silver and copper, there will be no coinage." ”
"Isn't there still paper money? Afraid of what. Yue Yun said as a matter of course.
Li Kaiyuan sneered, he said: "I'm not as good as you in terms of fighting, but talking about industry and commerce is a joke, our empire is now on the gold standard, how much gold is printed and how much banknotes, this economy is not messy." ”
Liu Chen and Yue Yun glanced at each other, they didn't bother to care about this, he said; "In that case, show the emperor's edict and handle the handover, and you will be in charge of this Manila thing."
Li Kaiyuan took out the oracle covering the jade seal from his arms, and then asked his subordinates to accompany Liu Chen to handle the handover.
Then he glanced at the servants beside Liu Chen, and smiled, "I'm here for a big business this time." ”
Yue Yun noticed Li Kaiyuan's eyes, "I was talking to Liu Chen about this just now, and it seems that the emperor doesn't want to waste so much labor." ”
"Of course, now the people of the empire are idealizing to have their own manor, the empire's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people who own the manor, but then I look back and find that many people are manor owners, plus many people enter the factory to make a living, but the labor required for this manor is gone, because of this, the price of slaves is high and high, and now there are many slave hunting groups to go to all parts of the world to capture slaves and return to China to sell, in view of this, the emperor has this thought." Li Kaiyuan said.
Yue Yun nodded, the empire's technology has been improving over the years, but the law on slaves has not been abolished, which gives the people the right to legally own slaves.
However, through Li Kaiyuan's narration, he also understood the problems faced by the empire now, if the owner of the manor did not have slaves to cultivate the plantation, the empire's manor economy would soon go bankrupt.
