In the lobby, the atmosphere was solemn.

I have just said the importance of Nanyang. As long as it is managed well, it will be a super big granary. You also know that in the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters have continued in succession, resulting in serious reductions in food production and people not having enough to eat... So now the food has become It has eliminated a major hidden danger that restricts the development of our Ming Dynasty!

Mentioning this matter, Zhu Gaoxu also sighed.

China was in the Little Ice Age from the Yuan Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, which caused the earth's temperature to drop significantly and caused a significant reduction in global food production.

In a sense, the Little Ice Age was one of the important driving forces behind the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Glacier, as its name suggests, is extremely cold, especially from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, when the average annual temperature during this period was very low.

Severe droughts and floods occurred one after another in the summer, and the winter was extremely cold. Natural disasters continued for years, and countless people became hungry refugees. In addition, the temperature was extremely cold, food production was greatly reduced, and the court was unable to provide disaster relief. This formed a vicious cycle...

Natural disasters continued, the number of refugees increased, the land was barren, and there was no food... In the end, the huge Ming Dynasty collapsed in the anger of the refugees and hungry people!

Poor Zhu Gaoxu's cheap descendant, Emperor Chongzhen, wanted to work hard to save the country, but was unable to save the country. In the end, he was hanged from a tree on the crooked neck of Meishan and became a generation of Meishan God of War...

It starts with a bowl and ends with a rope.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu was shocked and restrained his thoughts.

Of course, in addition to food, Nanyang also has minerals, land, population and other resources. If you do well, I promise to let you two return to the center of the court within five years...

Hearing this, Huang Huai was startled and asked subconsciously: Prince Han, I can understand that minerals and land can become resources for my Ming Dynasty, but this population...how can it be considered a resource...

Why doesn't it count? Then Huang Huai, tell me, how will the imperial court deal with the rebellious indigenous barbarians? Is it possible that they will all be killed?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled. These Confucian ministers were so deeply involved in the drama that they almost regarded themselves as saints and wanted to treat foreign barbarians with benevolence, justice and morality.

They just can't beat you now. If they can beat you, see if they will go into the Ming Dynasty and chop off your dog's head, beat your son and sleep with your wife!

It's good for me to spare their lives. Letting them contribute a little to our Ming Dynasty's foundation can also reduce some of their own sins.

Huang Huai: ???

Your uncle!

You are so vicious!

Invading other people’s homes and enslaving them!

Now you still have the nerve to say that this is asking them to atone for their sins?

Your Highness, the King of Han, plunders and trades people in this way. How is the Ming Dynasty different from the barbarians? How can we sell people like animals? This is against the way of the saints...

Academician Huang Huai was filled with indignation, and he was extremely angry at this moment.

He threw off his arms and prepared to argue with the king of Han. He must not set a precedent of plundering the population.

The Ming Dynasty has always been gentle and majestic, and convinced people with virtue. How could the King of Han be allowed to act arbitrarily and destroy the benevolent impression of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain state?

However, after hearing this, Prince Han just smiled faintly and asked a question.

Huang Huai, are there any servants in your house? Are there any servants at home?

After hearing this, the eager Academician Huang Huai was like a rooster with its neck strangled, and all his impassioned manuscripts were stillborn, making his face flush red from holding back.

Are there any servants in the house?

Are there any servants in the house?

These two questions, like a pair of black hands, gave Huang Huai two big mouths!

There is no doubt that there is.

It is impossible for the literati and officials to cultivate their families and cultivate their own land. Moreover, after they gain fame, they will not be able to do their own laundry and cooking, right?

So, which house doesn’t have dozens or even hundreds of servants?

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhu Gaoxu immediately straightened his face and scolded sternly: Then tell me, are the servants in your house my people of the Ming Dynasty?! Are they the people of the Ming Dynasty?!

Huang Huai was frightened and didn't know what to say.

Zhu Gaoxu did not let him go, and sneered and said mockingly: You said that foreign barbarians cannot buy and sell, which is against the way of the saints. Then you literati, when you buy and sell the people of the Ming Dynasty, why don't you remember the way of the saints? Why, You enslave the people of the Ming Dynasty. With clothes on your hands and food on your hands, you can open your mouth and live a very comfortable life. But what if you were a foreign barbarian?

There was a burst of bitter ridicule, which made Huang Huai's face turn red with embarrassment, but he had no way to refute.

I see you bastards, you are so shameless. You sing about the way of saints and saints, but at the same time you do all the evil deeds of men stealing women, prostitutes, fish and meat from the common people. You still have the nerve to jump out and accuse me, Huang Huai, Huang Huai, what are you barking at?

Facing the all-powerful output of Lord Han, Grand Scholar Huang Huai couldn't resist it at all. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

If you bark like a dog again and affect my plans in Nanyang, then don't go to Nanyang. Go directly to the prison. I will ask all your nine tribes to go in and accompany you!

As soon as these words came out, Huang Huai was shocked, trembling and immediately knelt down in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

Your Highness the King of Han, I... I know I was wrong!

As proud as Huang Huai, he could only surrender to the lustful power of the Han prince for the sake of his relatives.

Zhu Gaoxu snorted coldly when he saw this, Plunder those foreign barbarians to serve as slaves, and liberate the miserable slaves and humble people in our Ming Dynasty. In this way, our Ming Dynasty will have a large number of farmers who live and work in peace and contentment out of thin air. This This is something that is beneficial to the country, and I don’t want to explain it to you a second time!”

The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, showed his ambition to outsiders for the first time. Huang Huai was already frightened, but Yang Shiqi suddenly raised his little hand and asked weakly.

Your Highness the King of Han, what should we do if we have a conflict with the local indigenous barbarians...

Haha. UU read www.uukanshu.net Zhu Gaoxu sneered, Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the shore of the land, do you still need this king to teach you the principles of Confucianism? What about the three guardsmen? Is it just a decoration? Who dares to disrespect the king’s orders and slaughter them!”

Those native barbarians who are willing to surrender are regarded as subjects of the Ming Dynasty. Those who are unwilling to surrender and choose to resist will be beaten until they surrender. The men will be dragged to the mines to do hard labor and the women will be sent to the Ming Dynasty as slaves and maids... …”

Hiss... so cruel!

Hearing this, Yang Shiqi took a breath!

Prince Han, this move harms the peace of heaven and goes against the way of a saint. I'm afraid the government and the public will not agree...

Does the king need their consent? The old man only needs to know about it. He hopes that the king will open up territories for him. Besides, do you literati really prefer to use the people of the Ming Dynasty as slaves rather than treating foreign barbarians as slaves? , aren’t you afraid of being poked in the back by the world?”

Faced with the question from King Han, Yang Shiqi opened his mouth, but did not continue speaking.

Because he had nothing to say, otherwise he would be stabbed in the spine.

The literati said that enslaving foreign barbarians was against the way of the saints, so why was the house full of slaves and servants?

Is it possible that the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as those of foreign barbarians?

The life of the foreign barbarians is life, but the life of the Ming people is not life?

Once this news gets publicized, they, the intellectuals and officials, will be stabbed in the back by the people all over the world for the rest of their lives!

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and stretched his muscles. Looking at the slightly crude world map in front of him, he felt proud.

After he thought for a long time, he looked at the husky and said quietly.

Yang Shiqi, do you want to be a wise prime minister of the Ming Dynasty through the ages and open up the foundation of Nanyang for the Ming Dynasty, or do you want to live a life of inaction?
