Chapter 84 Finally normal?
"Unless you are allowed to bring slaves."
After Xu Wu wanted to hesitate for a long time, he finally said what he was thinking.
"If you want to develop Liaodong quickly, you have to use slaves."
Xu Wuxiang's voice gradually became louder.
"If you want me to take over the development of Liaodong, you must allow me to use slaves!"
Xu Wuxiang finally told Zhang Guozhu categorically.
"With the current situation of our Ming Dynasty, we can't quickly develop Liaodong without using slaves!"
Xu Wuxiang found that he had found the best way to develop Liaodong, and Decided not to change my mind.
"Your Majesty did not send the Supervision Department to monitor your itinerary, and you still thought you were in Chang'an. If you go to His Majesty to discuss this matter at this time, believe it or not, you will be watched when you squat in the toilet from now on?"
Zhang Guozhu sneered at Xu Wuxiang's idea. He did not think that the emperor would open up an opportunity to introduce slaves in order to develop Liaodong.
Xu Wuxiang left the Prime Minister's Mansion without saying a word, and rode away with his escort that night. He planned to run to Luoyang first, and then write a letter to the emperor to explain his arguments. .
In the past, the Lantian Dynasty did not use slaves on a large scale. Among them, there were huge slave groups in Nanyang and the Western Regions. If it were not for the use of a large number of slaves, the development speed of Nanyang would not be so fast. Come on, the battle in the Western Region will not go so smoothly.
Since a slave is a good thing, it should be used, rather than just leaving a good thing unused just for the sake of face.
Obedience does not exist in Zhang Guozhu, Han Lingshan, and Xu Wuxiang.
As long as they think something is right, they will fight for it to the end.
It’s just that they are very methodical, just like Xu Wu wanted to do this time, he rode to Luoyang day and night, and then wrote "Liaodong Enabled Slaves" at the first time It was expedited for eight hundred miles and sent to Yun Zhao's desk.
His run away was not in vain.
Yun Zhao was unable to use his subsequent methods. Originally, Yun Zhao was planning to use Xu Wu’s plan to delay Yan Jing to give him a hard time. Unexpectedly, he was also a smart person, so he immediately Ran away.
It is difficult to use this excuse now. After all, he is in Luoyang now and not in Yanjing, so it cannot be regarded as a private stay.
After reading Xu Wuxiang’s memorial, Yun Zhao understood that Xu Wuxiang not only wanted to use slaves in Liaodong, but also planned to use slaves to build the railway. This was Yun Zhang’s success in building the railway. The railroads used slaves and left a legacy.
To forge iron, you have to be hard-working. What Yun Zhang can do, Xu Wuxiang can’t do it?
He not only wants to do it, but also expands the use of slaves to all aspects.
This is naturally impossible, and Yun Zhao does not agree.
Li Guocheng took Yun Zhao and just approvedAfter reading the memorial, I was a little unsure, so I checked it again.
"Your Majesty, do you really agree with Xu Wu's suggestion to use slaves?"
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "It is only allowed to be used in Liaodong and the construction of railways."
Li Guocheng said: "If you open an opening and try to block it in the future, I'm afraid you won't have a chance."
Yun Zhao pointed to the document in Li Guocheng's hand and said: "Look Looking at this memorial, do I have room to refuse? Since the idea was proposed by Xu Wu, you must remember to send this memorial to Tai Shiling and publish it in the newspaper for everyone to participate. Let’s discuss it.
It also makes Xu Wu want to know what the consequences will be if he forces me to do this even though he knows that I am not willing to use slaves in the country.”
Li Guocheng said: “ Xu Wuxiang will set a precedent for our Ming Dynasty to use slaves openly."
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, I won't take the blame. At the same time, I can inform Jin Hu that the Koreans can be killed. Xu Wu thought about giving it to him or selling it to him, and informed Shi Lang to do the same. He also informed the various shipping departments to allow strong slaves to enter the country, but they could only participate in railway construction and the development of Liaodong. "
< p>Li Guocheng agreed and hurriedly went to do things.After the publication of "Lantian Daily", there was an uproar in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, especially the most intense discussion in Yushan University Hall. Since Yushan Academy had no position, many students published articles in their own names, accusing Xu Wu. think.
Five days later, Xu Wuxiang, who had arrived in Shandong, also saw the newspaper that published the news. He crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it away without expression, and then said to the accompanying adjutant: "Everyone is obviously for profit. Junzhan, you are so stupid at this time, you are really shameless.
Zhang Ming, you immediately set off and went straight to the Hangzhou Shipping Department and told them that I want all the strong slaves in their hands who have not entered the country. You must tell them that they only want men, not women."
Adjutant Zhang Ming said in confusion: "Sir, your reputation..."
Xu Wuxiang smiled and said. : "What kind of reputation do you need? Go get the job done quickly. I'm worried that if the job is done late, the price will go up."
Zhang Ming hurriedly took the dispatch order and headed south, also working day and night. On the way.
When Xu Wu wanted to ride into Yanjing again, he looked at the tall city gate and couldn't help but sigh: "We have finally become true monarchs and ministers."
p>Xu Wuxiang did not go to see Zhang Guozhu, but came to Yun Zhao in person to receive the decree. He accepted these two arduous tasks with an extremely peaceful attitude. He did not say anything else to Yun Zhao, but said respectfully Left the palace.
Similarly, Yun Zhao did not want to explain anything to Xu Wu, and calmly accepted the result of slaves entering the Ming Dynasty...
But Zhang Debang in Hangzhou was very happy!
After getting the newspaper, he did not stop for a moment, and hurried to his small house on the canal, thinking about it.The good news must be told to Zheng from North Korea as soon as possible.
"Madam, madam, I can finally help you change your boat people's household registration to a legitimate household registration."
As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Debang shouted happily.
Ms. Zheng, who was making baby clothes, slowly stood up and looked at the happy Zhang Debang with a smile on his face. He slowly saluted and said, "Thank you, husband."
Zhang Debang He handed the newspaper to Ms. Zheng, then helped Ms. Zheng, who was already pregnant, to sit down. He pointed at the front page of "Lantian Daily" with his finger and said: "Your Majesty has allowed foreigners to enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Don't always be bored in the future." You can go out openly in the house."
Zheng read the message carefully, looked at Zhang Debang and said, "Is this true?"
Zhang Debang smiled. Said: "Of course it's true. From now on you will be a member of Ming Dynasty, and you can live a more relaxed life."
Zheng shook her head and said: "The newspaper said that only men are allowed in."
p>
Zhang Debang chuckled and said: "In the past, everyone was not allowed to come in. Didn't you also come in? Now, although only men are allowed to come in, due to the lack of manpower in the local area, so many women are in vain. Being blocked on the dock is not a problem, and the major embroidery, textile, and garment workshops in Hangzhou need a large number of women. Don’t worry, the workshop owners and government-run workshop owners will help you break through this ban. .
Xu Wu thought that since Mr. Xu dared to set a precedent, the prefect of Hangzhou would dare to release the flood. I know these officials very well."
Ms. Zheng was silent for a moment, and suddenly gritted his teeth. Kneeling at Zhang Debang's feet, he said: "I have something to ask of your husband!"
Zhang Debang helped Zheng up with a smile and said: "Be careful, be careful, don't hurt the child in your belly, you said, If there is anything I can do, I will definitely satisfy you."
Zheng took out a piece of paper from her arms, on which was drawn a portrait of a middle-aged man. , the pictures are very vivid.
Zhang Debang took the piece of paper, looked at the man in the picture and said: "Who is this?"
Zheng cried and said: "This is my brother, we We got separated when we were in North Korea. However, according to my thinking, he should have been blocked by the Hangzhou Shipping Company on the pier. I beg my husband to rescue my brother. I am willing to tie a grass ring around my neck and repay my husband's great kindness for the rest of my life. ."
When Zhang Debang heard Zheng say that this man was his brother, a smile immediately appeared on his gloomy face, and he agreed: "Okay, okay, if you had told me earlier, maybe I would have done it sooner. I got them out.
I have a cousin who works at the Hangzhou Shipping Department and will go there when I give her Little Yingge’s little wooden boat.”
After speaking, Zhang Debang called out to the parrot loudly.
A little girl wearing a green coat hurriedly ran out, jumped into Zhang Debang's arms, and was hugged tightly by Zhang Debang. The two of them touched each other intimately on their foreheads.After a while, Zhang Debang took out a palm-sized wooden boat amidst the little parrot's pleas.
Looking at her daughter and Zhang Debang laughing and joking, the veins on Zheng’s forehead popped out, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she watched Zhang Debang and her daughter Yingge manipulating the small wooden boat in the water tank. .
"Call daddy. There will be little wooden figures tomorrow. You can put them on the boat."
"Daddy." The parrot called daddy abruptly, but it seemed that Thinking of something terrible again, I quickly looked back at my mother.
The mother's eyes were cold and vicious, and the parrot couldn't help but wrap its arms around Zhang Debang's neck, not daring to look any further.
Ms. Zheng smiled and took the parrot from Zhang Debang's arms, and said to Zhang Debang: "Husband, it's better to leave early and come back early. I will prepare two newly learned Hangzhou dishes for my husband when he comes back." Taste it."
Zhang Debang agreed with a smile, and reached out his hand to pinch the little parrot's little face, and finally took the little wooden boat out of the water tank and shook it off. I picked up the water droplets on it and told the little parrot to dry the small wooden boat in the shade and not dare to expose it to the sun. Then I hurried to the Hangzhou Shipping Department.
Zheng watched Zhang Debang walk around the corner, closed the door, covered the little parrot's mouth with one hand, pinched the little parrot's ass hard with the other hand, and whispered: "Yours My father is a noble man, not this ignorant person. How dare you give this man such a noble title as dad?"
The little parrot wanted to cry loudly, but he cried instead? Without making a sound, his two calves kicked randomly in the air, and strings of tears rolled out of his two big eyes.
