You give way, I'll take a step, although the offer in Yao Li's heart should have been around a thousand guan before, but looking at Suning's aggressive momentum, Yao Li actually had some inexplicable cringe in his heart, and being a slave in the shadows for a long time made him unable to fight against this momentum at all, so he nodded: "Deal!" ”

Eight hundred yuan Suning will pay Yao Li with direct copper coins and gold and silver silk cloth, and this restaurant will completely belong to Suning after all the money arrives, the title deed and the house deed have been received, and the signature and mortgage have ended, this transaction has been completed, with legal effect, as long as Suning does not take the initiative to sell this land and this restaurant, this land and this restaurant will always belong to Suning and its descendants, no matter anything else.

After completing all this, a big stone in Suning's heart fell to the ground, solved the problem of the restaurant, and the rest of the things can be put on the agenda logically, Su Xiaomei's learning is thriving, Niu Geng's professional training is also going smoothly, the two leading figures of the Su family restaurant are thriving, and other preparations such as raw materials and seasonings are also going smoothly, the brewing of soy sauce has begun, and things like salt do not have to worry, as for sugar, there are already some reserves, Li Xiaogong contributed all the sugar cane, and the rest waited for Li Xiaogong's fleet to come back, anyway, sugar production only takes one night, with enough manpower and tools, sugar production is not difficult, and the opening of the restaurant must be after all these raw materials are prepared.

So Suning finally got a short period of leisure, the news from Sanyuan County also made Suning very satisfied, rice is growing strongly, at this time the land of Guanzhong is not as tragic as the later Loess Plateau, the land of Guanzhong in the early Tang Dynasty is very fertile land, the ecological environment is good, the amount of water is also sufficient, known as the "eight water around Chang'an" reputation, the growth of rice does not need to worry about insufficient water, but the drought is still a very serious problem, for this Suning can not think of any way, south-to-north water diversion? Is Datang okay? A Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal will exhaust the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty also comes to one, it must not be abolished? There are not enough Turkic slaves!

I heard that the court has robbed the heads of these Turkic slaves for the sake of them, and the mortality rate of these Turks is not low, more than 50,000 people are currently only more than 45,000 people, and more than 5,000 people have died in a short period of time, and they are tired and starved to death, and those who are sick and killed, Hou Junji doesn't care about the life or death of these guys at all, if it weren't for some "far-sighted" officials who proposed that if these people died, it would be a loss for the Tang Dynasty, so that Li Erbixia directly intervened to improve the situation of Turkic slaves. It is estimated that within a year these Turkic slaves will be dead.

So I heard that Hou Junji reluctantly changed the work and rest time of these Turkic slaves from ten hours of work to eight hours, and was very dissatisfied and scolded those officials in the court for only caring about the Turks, not the people of the Tang Dynasty!

In fact, these officials are doing the right thing, ensuring the safety of Turkic slaves is actually ensuring the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the amount of labor of a Turkic slave can be compared with that of two Tang Zhuangding, that is to say, the existence of 50,000 Turkic slaves can reduce the servitude of 100,000 Tang Zhuangding, so that they can produce with peace of mind, if the Turkic slaves are all dead, won't the people of the Tang Dynasty suffer again?

Li Boyao also told Suning that Li Jing came back from the court and said that Cheng Yanjin couldn't stand the large-scale debate in the court of the five civil officials in order to compete for Turkic slaves, so he yelled that he wanted to go to the grassland to catch more slaves and come back, but instead of being refuted and questioned by the five civil officials, it caused more fierce debates among the civil officials.

The Ministry of Works, who was born in the army, even proposed that Li Erbixia immediately send a large army to the grassland to capture the Hu slaves, in this regard, the military bigwigs supported with both hands, and Hou Junji even proposed to personally lead the troops and arrest him one hundred and twenty thousand back, fortunately, Shangshu's left servant shot Fang Xuanling in time to stop the military and the warrior Tong who were hot-headed, otherwise Li Erbixia would really have let the border army go out and capture the slaves......

Suning was a little depressed, these guys must have taken a fancy to these Turkic slaves who don't need to be paid for their work, and they don't have to worry about their life or death, because the population of the Tang Dynasty is sparse, and every Datang person is a treasure, Li Erbixia specifically said that he should not overwork when he implemented the conscription policy, and if the dead people were directly held accountable, the government did not dare to do anything at all, and a considerable part of the project was delayed, so after the Turkic slaves were trained, the five Shangshu went crazy to fight, As a result, there was serious infighting among the civilian-bureaucratic clique, and it is said that yesterday there was a fight between officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

What the hell does the Ministry of Punishment want so many Turkic slaves! Samurai Tong couldn't help but burst into foul language and started fighting......

But this is a great thing, for these free labor without worrying about life and death, the entire Tang Dynasty court will have a strong aggressive and predatory nature for this, and will regard the barbarians as a source of free labor, that is, in order to save money and ensure the safety of the people of the Tang Dynasty, civil officials will also turn a blind eye to such military actions, and will not vigorously oppose a war as in the past, the Tang Dynasty has an unwritten consensus that slaves can be caught in wars, and slaves can do too many things for the imperial court. So fighting a war can bring benefits to Datang, so fighting a war is beneficial......

Rao is Kong Yingda such an old Confucian in personally saw the benefits of the Turkic labor force and the Tang people's support and support for the labor reform policy, and was silent, Suning's ideas gave Kong Yingda a lot of influence, he looked through the ancient books, and never saw Confucius's views on the Hu people, let alone the sages' remarks advocating preferential treatment of the Hu people, it seems that the sages deliberately avoided this issue, leaving only a sentence that is not my race's heart must be different.

Therefore, Kong Yingda felt that perhaps this was a double problem of morality and interests, and it was morally unreasonable for foreign races, but reducing the burden of the people of his own nationality really existed, and the people also supported this policy, so Kong Yingda was silent, and whenever he talked about the labor reform policy in the court, Kong Yingda looked at his nose and nose, and looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

Kong Yingda was silent, and the civilian officials who followed Kong Yingda in the past to criticize the military for trying to conquer various places were also silent, and the heads were all turned off, what were they arguing about? Didn't you see that the official who fired at Suning last time had been demoted from the court and made a small subordinate under Kong Yingda's non-objection? The horse's ass was slapped on the horse's hooves, looking for death......

Chu Suiliang felt very strange, this was not Kong Yingda's usual behavior, after studying with Kong Yingda for decades, Chu Suiliang understood very well, this is not Kong Yingda's temperament? As a civilian official, a scholar, he is not very opposed to war, but he is used to seeing the tragic situation of the broken mountains and rivers of the late Sui Dynasty, and has seen the harm of the military to the country and the people, so their group of civilian officials instinctively hate war. Although the policy of labor reform is indeed of great benefit to the country and the people, military action will still bring losses to the country, and only after the Turkic war has been fought, will the war start again so soon?

Chu Suiliang is worried about the current atmosphere of the main battle in the court, even the civil officials of the five Shangshu have begun to soften their positions because of the Turkic slaves, and they have also begun to show some signs of shifting to the main battle faction, and the main and faction have fallen behind, the most discussed in the court these days is whether it is necessary to go to the grassland to catch more slaves and come back, the military is naturally in favor, that is, there are many voices in favor of the civilian officials, if it were not for Fang Xuanling who thought that this would cause panic in the surrounding countries, and strongly opposed the prestige of the Tang Dynasty. Li Erbixia really gave the order.

Originally, he and Kong Yingda were a firm offensive and defensive alliance, although Kong Yingda was twenty-two years older than Chu Suiliang, but compared to age, although Chu Suiliang was a teacher, but the two were more like friends who had forgotten their years, the two had a lot of common preferences, such as reading, such as calligraphy, and political opinions, both of them felt that they should use peaceful means to resolve disputes, not to start wars lightly, the people need to recuperate, and the Tang Dynasty should not excessively wage war, etc., before Kong Yingda became the owner of the Hongwen Pavilion, Chu Suiliang was the owner of the museum, After Kong Yingda became the owner of the museum, Chu Sui willingly became Kong Yingda's deputy; But these days, in the face of the aggressive momentum of the main battle faction, Kong Yingda has not said a word, which makes Chu Suiliang very incomprehensible.

After going down to the court, Chu Suiliang returned to the mansion and ate a little something, then got up and went to Kong's mansion, ready to talk to Kong Yingda, what is it that makes Kong Yingda so inactive recently, and I heard that Kong Yingda is preparing to prepare some big moves in the Hongwen Pavilion recently, Chu Suiliang needs to understand.

Confucius is still as stable and peaceful as ever, Kong Yingda's character has shaped the character of Confucius, that is, domestic servants can also read and write, and they can also read, these domestic servants are basically hereditary, and they are scholars when they are put outside, but they are willing to be servants in Confucius, which shows the transcendent status of Confucius.

"Mr. Chu, you can come, Ah Lang has been waiting at home for a long time." The third generation of housekeepers of the Confucian Mansion, Kong De, who was eighty-six years old, stood respectfully outside the door and looked at Chu Suiliang, facing the oldest old man in the Confucian Mansion, Rao is emperor also needs to salute, not to mention Chu Suiliang, who is only thirty-four years old, under a respectful and respectful salute, Chu Suiliang asked suspiciously: "Old man, why do you say this?" ”

Kong De smiled and said: "After Ah Lang returned to the house today, he informed the old servant, saying that Mr. Chu would come to visit today, and the special old servant was here to greet him, Ah Lang was in the study, and invited Mr. Chu to go." ”

Chu Sui's conscience became more and more doubtful, but he still respectfully followed Kong De's footsteps and came to Kong Yingda's study; Outside the study, Kong De saluted respectfully: "Ah Lang, Mr. Chu is here." ”

Kong Yingda's hearty laughter came from inside the house: "hahahaha! Now that Dengshan has come here, why not come quickly? ”

Kong De turned his head and smiled: "Mr. Chu, please!" ”

Chu Suiliang nodded, pushed the door in: "Master Confucius, Suiliang is polite." ”

Kong Yingda, who was writing with a brush, looked up and smiled, put down the brush in his hand and stepped forward: "Haha! Why should you be polite? Come on, come on, sit! ”

Chu Suiliang nodded and knelt on the cushion, Kong De entered the room and poured a glass of water for Chu Suiliang, Chu Suiliang hurriedly saluted, Kong De left with a gentle smile, Kong Yingda turned around and came to his desk, picked up the pen and continued to write: "What is Dengshan here?" ”

Chu Suiliang looked at Kong Yingda suspiciously: "Since Master Confucius knows that Suiliang will come here, why don't you know why Suiliang is here?" ”

Kong Yingda smiled: "Is it because the old man has been silent in the court recently, and let the generals in the army do whatever they want and do nothing?" ”

Chu Suiliang nodded: "Confucius is not a belligerent person, he has always taken benevolence and righteousness as his own responsibility, and has always opposed conquest. The grandson of the soldier still has a saying, the soldier, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be observed, Lao Tzu also has a saying, the soldier, the ominous weapon, the instrument of the non-gentleman, has to be used as a last resort, and tranquility is the best. In this case, why didn't Confucius refute it? Instead, sit back and watch? ”
