Destiny Only Han

Chapter 818 Liu Ying: Productivity determines the relationship of production, and the dead ideological and political class is attacking me...

"You read a lot, you give uncle an idea..."

Hearing Qin Tong's words, Chen Cheng tilted his head, feeling a little helpless.

After all, although this is not his real uncle, the two families have a close family relationship. If Qin Tong hadn't only had a son but no daughter, he would have become the other's son-in-law.

Well, his father’s name is Chen Fuqi, and he is of the same family as the former king of Zhang Chu Chen, that is, Chen Sheng. After Chen Sheng called himself Zhang Chu, Chen Fuqi believed that Chen Sheng would fulfill the saying "be rich and honored, never forget each other". So he defected to Chen Sheng, but did not share the wealth...

After Zhang Han defeated Zhang Chu, Chen Fuqi defected to Liu Bang, who was ordered to conquer Qin in the west, and at the same time received Zhang Chu's scattered soldiers. thousand households.

Therefore, Chen Cheng could barely be called a member of Fengpei's heroes.

Therefore, he looked at Qin Tong and found that the other party's expression did not seem to be fake, so he lowered his voice and said, "Why doesn't Father Zhong find another way?"

Qin Tong asked: "What do you mean? We haven't read the book, can you explain it to me!"

Chen Cheng sighed helplessly: "This group of prisoners of war are rebellious and seriously slow down the speed of the construction of the pier. Father Zhong can't do the work with His Majesty, so he will definitely be reprimanded by His Majesty. If it is more serious, he will even be questioned by the Duke..."

Qin Tong nodded: "Yes, that's why I'm worried. I can't sleep all night, and I lose my hair one by one..."

Chen Cheng suppressed a smile, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Therefore, why don't we use these disobedient prisoners of war to exchange for a batch of obedient slaves."

"For example, sail from here to Africa not far to the east. Although the slaves there are darker, they are still quite capable. Especially when they are whipped on them, they are uncharacteristically obedient..."

"Father Zhong mainly manages the ranch in the northern part of the empire, but my family has many plantations in Nanyang, so I know this kind of person very well."

"Listen to my father and the others. This is the method learned by His Majesty when he built plantations in the three counties of Lingnan in the past, that is, to select a few obedient slaves from among the slaves and appoint them as supervisors, and let them manage other slaves on our behalf. The work efficiency of slaves can be greatly improved again!"

Qin Tong stroked his beard under his chin, and nodded slightly: "Sure enough, even if I study His Majesty's wisdom for 100 years, I can't finish it..."

Chen Cheng also agreed: "It's like this. My classmates often say that your majesty is not born in the sky, and eternity is like a long night!"

Qin Tong said with a smile: "Since you proposed this matter, then you can do it! With such a great achievement, no one can find anything wrong with your 'best' evaluation this year! "

Well, the so-called someone in the DPRK is good at being an official, that's probably the case.

But in the next second, a bit of worry appeared on Qin Tong's face: "I remember that the slaves there were all bought? Now they are changing, will they be willing?"

Chen Cheng explained:
"Change, why not!"

"Uncle doesn't know that this kind of white-skinned slave is nothing to us, but it's a rarity when it comes to them. Many barbarian leaders with special hobbies will even pay high prices for male white-skinned slaves..."

Qin Tong's face suddenly showed a bit of obscenity, and he nodded with a smile: "Since that's the case, I'm relieved, you can go..."

But when Chen Cheng was about to turn his head and leave, an old man with a scepter walked in outside the door.

Wu She.

He paused the scepter in his hand and said loudly:
"Where are you going? Don't go!"

Qin Tong didn't bother to ask him what he meant, but hurriedly stood up from behind the desk, strode up to Wu She, and bowed to salute.

Beside him, Chen Cheng paid respects.

"Saint Ann."

"Saint Boon."

At this time, Qin Tong straightened up and invited Wu She to the seat above him: "What do you mean by what sir?"

Wu She said solemnly: "Your Majesty ordered me to go on a mission again, not only to preside over the alliance with Greece, Macedonia, Seleucid and other countries, but also to preside over the peace talks with Rome. Therefore, I will take over the Roman prisoners of war with full authority and use them for negotiations."

Qin Tong was stunned for a long time, hesitant to speak: "Then, then here I am..."

Wu She smiled: "Don't worry, Your Majesty knows your difficulties, and hereby asks the fleet to no longer transport the poisoned rice back to the country, but to ship it to you together with the domestic cotton cloth, so that you can hire people to build ports and canals." ..."

Chen Cheng, who was standing on the sidelines, asked: "The poisoned rice has been brought over, is there enough food in the country?"

Wu She turned to look at him, shook his head and said:
"You don't have to worry about that. Under His Majesty's wise leadership, when did we ever worry about food?"

"To be honest, the poisoned rice is not delicious. The big purchase every year is just to smooth out the import and export trade volume with Xunjia, and it is not shipped to the country. Almost all of it is shipped to the southern Liaoning Peninsula to supply the naturalized people there. edible."

Chen Cheng frowned: "Huh? I heard that the valleys and plains there are not suitable for farming? Moreover, the cold rice grown there tastes very good, and the yield is not low. Why do you need to buy a lot of rice from yourself?"

Wu She's face was full of helplessness:

"According to His Majesty, today's big man is in the stage of transitioning from eating well to eating well."

"The rice in southern Liaoning is delicious, so naturally it needs to be transported back to the country for the common people of the Han Dynasty to eat, but in this way, the naturalized people will have nothing to eat..."

"People can't do without food. Naturally, they need to transfer rice from other places for them to eat. Although the taste is not good, the quantity is large enough to satisfy them. I heard that every time a grain transport ship arrives, the naturalized people in the southern Liaoning Peninsula always Prostrating and worshiping, saying that it is His Majesty's kindness, they will never end from life to life..."

"Well, as for the vacant rice in the Liaonan Peninsula, it is mainly provided by the Nichinan Governor's Office."

"Before I came, I heard that there were cinchona trees there, so the development of the upper reaches of the valley was a great success, and the increased grain production was enough to fill the gap."

After he finished speaking, not only Qin Tong was stupefied, but Chen Cheng also had the urge to cover his face.

Such tossing is just to eat something good...

Your Majesty...

Chen Cheng shook his head, frowned suddenly, and asked: "Mr. Shandao said before that he used cotton cloth and rice to hire people...why hire instead of buy?"

Qin Tong scratched his head: "That's right, he is indeed a young man, and his mind is spinning fast..."

Wu She didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "Do you think the work efficiency of a slave is higher, or that of a tenant farmer?"

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "If there is a capable supervisor, the two are about the same... But in general, the tenant farmers are higher."

Wu She nodded:

"Yes, the difference is almost the same when there are supervisors. If there are no supervisors, the sharecroppers must be higher... But don't forget, you are also responsible for the food and drink of the slaves, and they are even unwilling to reproduce. The owner of the manor must forcefully designate it, or go out in person!"

Chen Cheng's face was full of disdain, and he remembered the scene he saw when he stopped at the plantation along the way when he arrived at the Anman Governor's Mansion by boat.

Those guys can't do anything else, but they are very good at making farm tools!

The important thing is to let your own blood do the work of slaves like this, it is really embarrassing for the ancestors!
So Chen Cheng asked: "The implication of Mr. Shandao is that you want us to use employment instead of purchase?"

Wu She stroked his beard and smiled, then nodded slightly:
"This is not only what I mean, but also what His Majesty means."

"Your Majesty said that in the past, the production efficiency was not high, so a large number of slaves had to be captured for forced labor, but now there are all kinds of equipment, no matter from farming to industry, machinery is mainly used for production..."

"For this reason, we must give full play to people's enthusiasm for production!"

"And slaves are obviously not human beings. Naturally, no slave is willing to work for his master like an ox or a horse."

Chen Cheng was stunned, his eyes gradually widened: "Could it be, could it be... His Majesty, His Majesty wants to..."

"That's right, I have decided to abolish the official system!"

In the Changle Palace, Liu Ying stood in front of Cao Shen with a loud voice, which could not be refused.

But in front of him, Cao Shen pushed back uncharacteristically: "I don't agree, Your Majesty's order is random, so I don't accept it!"

Has this old man eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?Niu... Zhang Buyi shrank back and hid himself behind the pillar, so as not to be found by Liu Bang who came after hearing the news.

Liu Ying's voice was low: "Can you say it again?"

Cao Shen was sweating profusely, as if he was fished out of the water, but his neck was still stiff: "Your Majesty, this is an act to shake the foundation of the country, and I must not follow orders!"

"Oh, you are amazing..." Liu Ying lost her anger, and looked at Liu Bang who was poking her neck to watch the fun with a smile: "Father, Prime Minister Cao, relying on his great achievements, actually disobeyed his son's order. Tell me how to punish him?" he?"

For a moment, Cao Shen stared at Liu Bang unblinkingly with his small eyes crowded together because of his obesity, full of prayers.

Liu Bang pretended not to see anything, and when Cao Shen became more and more panicked, he smiled and said, "It's better to punish him with three glasses of wine, and you can't leave until you finish drinking!"

Liu Ying patted her thigh: "Okay, come here, let's serve wine!"

Just when Cao Shen felt that he had escaped a catastrophe, he stared blankly at the wine glass in front of him, there was no mouth.

This is clearly a bucket!

This wine is enough to give him a bath!
If you drink this, you will definitely die...

So, he looked at Liu Bang's expression and became more and more sad.

No wonder someone is stingy and holds grudges, it's all hereditary... Zhang Buyi nodded secretly while hiding in the colonnade.

But his expression did not hide the truth from Liu Ying.

"If Cao Xiang thinks he can't finish the drink, I think I can leave it to my heir to do it for me..."

"Huh? That Shuzi is there too? Where is he?"

Liu Bang looked left and right, and finally found Zhang Buyi who was winking at Liu Ying behind the pillars.

"Meet the Supreme Emperor..."

"Don't get up, just kneel like this."

Facing Zhang Buyi's sad eyes, Liu Ying pretended not to see anything, and turned her attention to Cao Shen: "Mr. Cao, tell me, how can my decision shake the foundation of the country?"

Cao Shen thought for a while, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "May your majesty let me leave for a moment?"

He is already old, and no matter how much he likes to drink on weekdays, his memory will naturally decline, but more importantly, with the second-rank officer system, he only needs to make a judgment based on the content summarized by the second-rank officer.

Therefore, when he said to leave for a while, he was actually looking for relevant data.

This is the prime minister you found for me?Interesting... Liu Ying looked at Liu Bang silently.

Don't blame me, this is recommended by your teacher... Liu Bang suddenly rolled his eyes.

Cao Shen looked left and right, and finally saw Liu Ying waving her hand lightly. She stepped back out of the palace with relief, put on her shoes, picked up her sword and rushed out.

After all, he is not Xiao He, and he is not qualified to walk on the sword.

"Anyway, idle is idle, can you play dice?" Liu Bang took out a set of beautifully painted dice cups from his sleeve.

"No, my mother told me not to let me play with you!" Liu Ying left without looking back.

While Zhang Busu was about to cry, there was a clattering sound of shaking the dice.

........................

In Changle Hall, Liu Ying who wiped her hands after eating two teeth of watermelon suddenly froze.

On the square in the distance, a large group of ministers in red robes appeared.

It seems that this is forcing the palace... Liu Ying made the worst thought in her heart, but at the same time walked quickly to the gate of the palace.

He could see clearly that the old man with white beard and hair in the middle of the crowd who was hobbled was Xiao He who had retired for many days.

"Teacher, why are you interested in entering the palace today?"

Liu Ying helped Xiao He, who wanted to untie his sword with slippers, into the Changle Palace, and at the same time looked at Liu Bang, who was covered with notes all over his face, and shouted: "Father, look who is here!"

Liu Bang rolled up the note on his face like a bead curtain, and his eyes suddenly froze.

There are surprises, but more of them are nostalgia.

This is his prime minister. The monarch and his ministers have been together for more than ten years, and together they have created an unprecedentedly brilliant and huge empire!

"Old minister, pay homage to the Supreme Emperor..."

Xiao He struggled to shake off Liu Ying, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Get up, get up..." Liu Bang wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand up in the end.

Without him, I sat cross-legged for a long time, and my legs became numb...

So he looked at Liu Ying and scolded: "Hurry up and help your teacher up!"

Liu Ying vigorously lifted Xiao He up, and hurriedly asked someone to move a chair, and let Xiao He sit beside Liu Bang.

After all, it is not easy for older people to sit upright. When they stand up suddenly, the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, which can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

"Hey! Now you are sitting taller than me..." Liu Bang shook his head and asked nonchalantly, "Why, are you the rescuer Cao Shen invited?"

Xiao He pointed to Wang Ling, Yan Zechi, Zhang Cang and others who were standing opposite Liu Ying, and said with a smile: "Yes, these are rescuers invited by Cao Can. If Your Majesty does not take back his order, we old officials I won't leave!"

Liu Ying laughed and said: "That's a good relationship. The student hasn't seen the teacher for a long time. The teacher can live in the palace as long as he wants..."

But at the same time, Cao Shen and others couldn't help fighting a cold war.

After all, what kind of character their emperor is, they have already known Liu Ying since she was a little Douding running around...
