I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The night is deep.

Du Qi has not rested yet.

In the room, the candles flickered and the lights flickered, pulling Du Qi’s shadow into the old. The reason why Du Qi has not taken a rest is simple. He is still waiting for news from Liu Zhengxi.

Because as of now, there is no news of Liu Zhengxi’s return.

Liu Zhengxi left early in the morning, but he has not returned yet. When it was almost early in the morning, Du Qi asked Liu Jian and learned that Liu Zhengxi hadn’t returned yet, so he didn’t wait.

After all, the matter of the gold mine is huge, and it may not be possible to go back and forth in a day.

Du Qi went directly to rest. Early in the morning of the 2nd day, Du Qi got up to wash and eat breakfast, and he started to get busy. Because Luo Yansheng came early in the morning.

It involves many governance plans, and Du Qi has to review and approve one after another.

These are also easy.

After the decree Du Qi was reviewed, Luo Yansheng was ready to promulgate it. This matter consumed a full morning. Du Qi left Luo Yansheng to eat with him. After lunch, he decided on the last content, and Luo Yansheng was about to leave.

When he was leaving, Luo Yansheng said: “His Royal Highness, this old official has something to report.”

“Say!”

Du Qi smiled and spoke. .

Luo Yansheng said: “His Royal Highness has summoned Inuzi and the rest of the Great Family to mention the abolition of slaves. This old official has carefully considered this issue.”

Du Qi said: “Oh, what do you think of Luo Provincial Governor?”

Luo Yansheng sat upright and said loudly: “Looking at the problem from the perspective of Luo Family, what about the slave? This The old official naturally hopes to keep the slave.”

“In fact, from the perspective of the government, this old official believes that the slave should be abolished.”

“The entire Illinois Now, the registered population is only 38,000 households. The population is actually not that many. But such a population does not have the number of slaves registered.”

Luo Yansheng said: “Once the number of slaves is Registering in, there will be at least 5,000 more households, or even more. The number of slaves alone is extremely large, so if slaves can be abolished, it will be a lot of benefits for the entire Illinois.”

Du Qi laughed and said: “The idea of ​​Luo Provincial Governor is to abolish slaves so that there are no slaves in the entire state of Illinois.”

“Yes!”

Luo Yansheng is determined Answer.

He held his head up, and on his old cheeks, there was a look of irresponsibility, and said: “Even if you do this, it will have a big impact on my Luo Family. But being an official will benefit one party. Since I have chosen to be an official, I should regard the people as the standard. This is the most important thing. Without this awareness, one should not be an official. The idea of ​​this old official is to abolish slave.”

Du Qi said: “Luo Gong, do you know that once the slave is abolished, it will cause an uproar. There will be thousands of people poking your spine from all over Izhou. Even your reputation will be destroyed in one life “

Luo Yansheng has a sharp expression in his eyes, saying: “Although tens of thousands of people have gone, this old official still has no regrets. If there is a lifetime, there can be so little achievement, no regrets. It’s worth it for the people.”

Du Qi supported Luo Yansheng’s decision very much, and also quite applauded it.

Luo Yansheng has a softer temperament.

It is not simple to have such a decision.

Du Qi laughed, said resolutely: “Luo Gong, if you want to say that the slave is abolished, I naturally agree. Because too many people have become slaves and have since become fish on the chopping board. People slaughter.”

“And such a thing is indeed not conducive to local development. However, the slave system is the norm in Western Regions. If it is suddenly abolished, it will inevitably cause an uproar.”

“This matter can be planned, but not now.”

Du Qi said: “Because this king has just arrived in Yizhou, everything is just on the right track. Abolishing slave at this time will inevitably make the place turbulent. Yes. Therefore, this matter will not be implemented by the king for the time being, and it needs to be done slowly.”

paused, Du Qi continued: “However, Luo Gong has such a realization, this king is very pleased. Please. Luo Gong waits for a few more years. I hope that when the time comes, Luo Gong can still have the current bloodliness, and he can also advocate the abolition of the slave system.”

Luo Yansheng said loudly: “Small Official awaits your Highness Orders will inevitably charge for His Highness.”

Today’s Luo Yansheng already wants spare no effort.

What he thinks is very simple, that is, to follow Du Qi’s footsteps and assist Du Qi in all aspects. The more Luo Yansheng comes into contact with Du Qi, the more he thinks Du Qi has the talent of the ancient king.

The area under Du Qi’s rule will definitely become larger and larger. He followed Du Qi closely and helped Du Qi before and after, then in the future, he can also build merits with Du Qi.

Even the name stays in history.

This is Luo Yansheng’s ambition.

He also hopes that he can truly leave his merits and be able to stay true to his history.

Du Qi said resolutely: “Since Luo Gong has this idea, now he can gradually appoint officials, promote talents who oppose the slave system, and arrange them in important positions. When he is in charge, he can In a spurt of energy, carry on.”

Luo Yansheng said: “The minister understands.”

Paused, Luo Yansheng continued: “His Royal Highness, the minister has one more thing.”

Du Qi said: “Lord Luo, please say it.”

Luo Yansheng said resolutely: “His Royal Highness, as King Pingxi, is now based in Yizhou. Since the Imperial Court has allowed His Highness to open up territory in Western Regions Now that I have taken Yizhou, do you want to found a country? Although your Highness is impossible to establish and proclaim the emperor, you can build a country. In this way, your Highness is in charge of a country, isn’t it more justifiable.”

Du Qi He said: “This is unhurried for a while, there is no need to fight for a temporary fame, and get into trouble and passivity. Even if the Imperial Court allows me to build a nation, even His Majesty promised that if I hit the western territory, it will be mine.”

“But things do not need to be anxious to build a nation. For the time being, we will maintain this way and develop strength first. Only strength is the fundamental. If there is no strength, everything is vain.”

Du Qi said solemnly: “Gathering grains, slowly becoming king, and building walls high. This is my king’s strategy.”

When Luo Yansheng heard it, his body was shaken.

A look of wonder appeared on his face.

Luo Yansheng folded his hands, and said: “His Royal Highness is really wise, This old official is not too much. Like His Highness at this age, so many young people are mad and supercilious, but His Royal Highness is wise and understanding. Impetuous, steady and steady, acting steadily. Your Highness Great Talent, This old official admires.”

Du Qi laughed and said: “Lord Luo is overpraised, but I am timid.”

To Du Qi, he seems to be only about twenty years old, but in fact he is a human being for two lives, but his age is not too young. He has enough patience.

Du Qi knows very well that if you want to build a huge empire, you must build a real foundation and you can’t be impatient.

Everything has to take its time.

Luo Yansheng hastily said that Du Qi is not timid, but really shrewd. His admiration for Du Qi came from the heart. Luo Yansheng talked to Du Qi about some government affairs, and then resigned.

When I arrived in the afternoon, the attendant came back to report, saying that it was Danyangzi who wanted to see him.

Du Qi immediately ordered people to invite Danyangzi in. After Danyangzi entered, he saw Du Qi respectfully saluting, but his face showed excitement and anticipation uncontrollably.

Danyangzi said solemnly: “His Royal Highness, Poor Daoist collected some materials yesterday, and roughly according to the formula in the book, he manufactured a small-scale Gunpowder. Right now, there is no experiment, so Please come here and go to the experiment.”

paused, Danyangzi said: “Please rest assured, your Royal Highness, regarding the movement of the army and the construction of a factory in the northeast, all arrangements have been made. It’s in progress. This is taking time, just a little experiment first.”

Du Qi said: “Where are you going to experiment?”

Danyangzi said resolutely: “There is a forest area in the direction of the Western District in the county seat. Poor Daoist’s plan is to go to that area to experiment. After all, there are few people and will not be paid attention to.”

Du Qi shook the head, said “It’s not necessary. The experiment at this time is small, so I experimented on the mountainside of the palace. After all, there is an open space in the mountainside of the palace, which is enough for experiments.”

Danyangzi said: “Just Listen to your highness.”
