Chapter 1202 Slavery Proposal
"You came up with this statement?" In the Chui Gong hall, Emperor Liu raised his brows slightly and looked at the prince.

Faced with Emperor Liu's questioning, Liu Yang naturally did not dare to hide anything, and it was unnecessary.Therefore, Liu Yang responded: "The former, you inspect the lack of power needed by the government, ministers, ministers, and people. It happened that Zhao Kuangyi, the acquaintance of the state, once played the Annan incident. He secretly thought that arresting slaves to fill his labor might alleviate it. Discuss with Zhao Xianggong and Li Fanyuan , scrutinize the details, sort out the results, and present them to the royal audience!"

"Zhao Kuangyi?" The reaction on Emperor Liu's face made it hard to see his attitude. He only heard him chuckle and said, "Wherever this person goes, he can do impressive work! Even if he is in Tiannan, he still remembers the imperial court and worries about the country. Ah, when did he become so aggressive?"

It was submitted by Liu Yang, so it was naturally a set of plans about hunting down foreign natives, trafficking and domestic slavery.After Emperor Liu finished reading it, his attitude also seemed uncertain.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Liu asked, "Who do you think will benefit from this strategy?"

Of course Liu Yang thought about it, and said directly: "The court, the minister, and the powerful!"

"Isn't this contrary to the established national policy?" Emperor Liu glanced at him, and said indifferently: "The private property of slaves and maidservants has always contributed to the expansion of the powerful and rightist forces. If you open this hole, it will be difficult to accept it. The wind of slavery has risen again!

Today, it is possible to capture foreign people as slaves, but in the future, will there be situations where people are forced to be slaves?
The situation in the south is a little more stable, and the wariness of the various countries against the imperial court has eased a little. If the trend of slave arrest is together, won't the south of the world be plunged into turmoil?

Furthermore, can foreigner people enter the country and be slaves forever?If things go on like this, there will be a backlog of contradictions, and turmoil is inevitable. Besides, doesn't this make it compete with the big man and the people for the soil of survival?
"

Faced with a series of questions from Emperor Liu, Liu Yang's expression became serious. He frowned and thought hard, and said, "My son, I heard that the Liao Kingdom in the north also has a policy of capturing slaves to enrich the population. Therefore, I have the heart to imitate. I feel that this method can solve the current problem.

Furthermore, even if slaves and maidservants are captured, the number will not be too many. If you want to become a disaster, is it easy?In this way, it is also an income for the court. "

"Don't just focus on the present, but on the long-term!" Emperor Liu said in a harsher tone, "One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand slaves are nothing, but what about one million or ten million? The Han Dynasty is a multi-ethnic country. The contradiction between the two is already a headache, do you want to add another one for your descendants? Is it true that the big man lacks hundreds of thousands of people with cultivated land?"

"To introduce a policy, we must not only see its advantages, but also consider its disadvantages. It would be better if we can conceive a solution in advance."

"It's not well thought out!" This was probably the most proactive time for Liu Yang, but when Emperor Liu showed his strong edge, he had to bow his head, and faced the lesson, he was a little depressed and authentic.

Seeing that he was a little hit, Emperor Liu's tone slowed down again, and said, "However, I am very pleased that you can take the initiative to share my worries.

It has been many years since the Employment Law has been attached to the slave hunting law. Since the law of employment is feasible, more consideration has been given to this aspect and it has been improved.It is easy to solve the difficulties for a while, but it is difficult to fix the law for a lifetime!

Not only farm laborers, but also domestic merchants are becoming more and more popular. There are also many employees in commercial warehouses, transportation and various industries. For these people, laws should also be formulated to restrain both employers and employers and protect the interests of ordinary people!
You can discuss it with Zhao Pu again and draw up a charter! "

Liu Yang felt the recognition expressed in Emperor Liu's tone, and his slightly frustrated enthusiasm recovered. A brilliant light flashed in his eyes, and he bowed in a respectful gesture, and replied: "Yes!"

Paying attention to Emperor Liu's expression, Liu Yang pondered for a while, and asked again: "Then the proposal of arresting slaves will be shelved for the time being?"

Glancing at him, Emperor Liu also fell into thinking again, but his eyes glanced at Liu Yang from time to time.For this matter, Emperor Liu's own attitude is actually between yes and no. If you really say how much fear you have, considering the situation after a long time, it is not to that extent.

With China's ability to assimilate, there is no fear that there will be some more alien races in the territory. As for future troubles, social conflicts and the like are always inevitable. If the country is weak, all kinds of problems will burst out, not just this.

And if the slave trade is started, the benefits that can be obtained in a short period of time are bound to be considerable.

The reason why Emperor Liu was repulsive was because he was afraid that the trend of slavery would affect the big man, bring harm to the people, harm the foundation, and boost the power of the powerful, endangering the imperial power and the court.

The second is the xenophobic mentality in the heart. Although the big Han under the rule of Emperor Liu is known as being inclusive and inclusive of all ethnic groups, there are also different kinds of cultures. Some people, in the eyes of Emperor Liu, even serve as slaves no qualifications
In addition, you really have to think about it. In another 30 years, will Dahan still have a headache for the problem of underpopulation?
This is no longer the time when the country was poor and the people were few, and the thirst for population was not so serious. In addition, the overall operation of the country is good, and there is no solution to a small problem, so why seek change.

Of course, the satisfaction with Liu Yang lies in the fact that, just for this matter, for this policy, it can be seen that the prince of the big man is not a pedantic person.This obviously made Emperor Liu even more delighted.

Liu Yang waited for the order, Emperor Liu thought for a while, and finally gave an answer: "You have used your brains to plan this plan, and if you reject it directly, you have failed your thoughts.

How about this, you can try it out, but it needs to be led by the government, set up as official slaves, open mines, build roads, work and pay, and those who are lacking will be solved according to this method.

Let's see the results first! "

After a pause, Emperor Liu raised his hand to instruct again: "Send the edict to Annan. Since Zhao Kuangyi first proposed this matter, let him handle it on the spot! The Privy Council will also go to make a decision. When necessary, let the local garrison Cooperate.

In addition, directly arresting slaves is likely to cause turmoil, and the food is too ugly. Those corrupt scholars in the court are stubborn, and I am afraid that they will inevitably talk about it.Ask the Financial Secretary to allocate some funds and try to trade and buy! "

Hearing Emperor Liu's instructions, Liu Yang kept nodding his head, and then replied respectfully, "Yes!"

Liu Yang's face was full of joy and surrender, but he sighed silently in his heart.Regardless of the many years of participating in the government, but compared with the emperor Laozi, the gap is too obvious.Many things are considered too one-sidedly.

"Have you ever thought about why Zhao Pu and the others pushed this matter?" Looking at the thoughtful prince, Emperor Liu asked again.

Liu Yang pondered, and replied: "Show favor to the beneficiary?"

Emperor Liu regained his composure, and said softly: "I have cultivated the honorable class of the Han Dynasty. Their influence on the court's military and political affairs can be said to spread inside and outside the court. Among the previous ministers, Zhao Pu's qualifications are the least senior."

Liu Yang felt relieved at first, and then pondered.Seeing this, Emperor Liu asked again: "The meritorious officials are used to consolidate the country and balance the court. Treat them with high honors and high salaries, but they should not be allowed to expand. How to control them, have you ever thought about it?"

Emperor Liu's words were light and light, but they pierced his heart like a sharp sword.Noticing Emperor Liu's indifferent face, he felt chills in his heart, hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Does it include the Fu and Li clans?"

Wen Qi asked, Emperor Liu remained calm, looked at the prince, was silent for a while, and said in a cold voice, "They are not just nobles, but also relatives!"

"Chen, I understand!" Facing this remark, Liu Yang took a deep breath and cupped his hands.

How to restrict the Xungui Group, this is something that Emperor Liu himself has been thinking about from time to time, and he has not come up with a complete method, let alone Liu Yang, so he did not ask him to give an answer.

He just made a reminder to let him have the ideological awareness in this regard.And the increasingly mature Liu Yang obviously received the signal from Emperor Liu, and because of this, when he exited the Chui Gong Palace, his mood seemed a little depressed.

The more he saw and experienced, the more Liu Yang felt the weight of the crown prince.Even if he doesn't have much pressure to seize the heir apparent, it's not enough for him to be a Prince of Peace in peace and stability. He can still take shelter under Emperor Liu's wings now, but what about in the future?
