Orders were issued one by one, and Xiao Ming explained all the affairs of the fief, so as not to cause trouble.
He also asked Pang Yukun to write down all his words, and he would punish whoever did not complete the task.
In the end he said: "Don't think that you will have peace of mind when you get the title. If you don't want to make progress and waste the title given to you by this king, this king can still take them back."
As soon as this was said, the expressions of officials and generals suddenly became solemn, and they did not want to lose this honor.
Secretly vowed to work harder in the future.
The meeting lasted until the evening, when Xiao Ming heaved a sigh of relief. The work was finally completed, and he was able to go to Chang'an with peace of mind.
Of course, there are still some people who didn't read Dao at this meeting. It's not that they don't have titles, but that these people are not in Qingzhou now.
For example, Liang Dahai, a slave trader, Qian Dafu, a mine owner, and Yue Yun, now Yue Yun is in the shipyard in Dengzhou.
While staring at the construction of the Galen ship, he was also recruiting students in Dengzhou to increase the number of naval personnel.
After the meeting was over, Xiao Ming went straight back to the palace, and he felt relaxed after the government accountability.
After Xiao Ming left, Pang Yukun, Niu Ben and others also arrived outside the Dudu's Mansion.
At this time, everyone immediately reveled in their honor.
Lu Fei said triumphantly: "Oh, two thousand taels of silver, six hundred acres of Yongye field, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Luo Xin disdainfully said: "What to do? It's not easy to do, just buy a few slaves and farm. My Yongyetian is much larger than this."
"Your house belongs to General Diluo. What does it have to do with you? You are the same as me." Lu Fei looked upset.
Niu Ben said with emotion: "Hey, I don't know how to spend these ten thousand taels of silver. Your Royal Highness is really generous."
Lu Fei was immediately beaten down, and he said with a hippie smile: "The Governor, if you can't spend it, I can help you spend it. I am familiar with Liang Dahai. When he comes back, he will buy you some slaves with money and help you. I saw a slave plantation. From now on, this will be nothing to worry about."
The people who have been rewarded now are all holding Lu Fei's ideas.
They already had land in their home, but now they have so much more land, plus they have money in their hands, they all want to buy slaves to cultivate this permanent land.
Pang Yukun shook his head when he heard this, but he couldn't help it, he was also facing this problem now.
He said: "Aren't we the only people who will follow His Highness to be able to fly to the sky in the future? Since His Highness has already rewarded us, we don't need to hide it. I think Lu Fei is right. Buy some slaves. Farming is good, and the people regard food as their heaven."
"It's just that the slaves that Liang Dahai bought belonged to His Royal Highness. Where do we go to buy slaves." Li Kaiyuan knew well about Liang Dahai's business, and at this time he poured cold water on everyone.
Lu Fei said, "Are there no people selling slaves except Liang Dahai?"
"Yes, but very few." Pang Yukun frowned. "Now Qingzhou lacks population. His Royal Highness is worrying about this. Naturally, he would not be willing to give his slaves to us. But Li Kaiyuan, your merchant did not do slavery. Trader?"
Li Kaiyuan recalled for a while and said: "This is true, but their scale is very small, and they will be there today and not tomorrow. The most important thing is that our Highness has not agreed to these merchants to sell slaves."
"You killer, your Highness didn't ask that he had forgotten it. You wouldn't ask about it. I'll leave it to you. If I can't buy a slave, I will find you Li Kaiyuan." Lu Fei said Rogue look.
He and Li Kaiyuan are used to fighting.
"Lieutenant Lu, you are too shameless." After saying this, Li Kaiyuan suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him eagerly.
After hesitating for a while, he said depressed: "Okay, okay, I will ask your Highness to see if I can allow other merchants to sell slaves in Qingzhou."
After all, Li Kaiyuan went to the Qi Palace.
When Pang Yukun and the others met, he laughed immediately. He said to Niu Ben: "In my opinion, His Royal Highness attaches great importance to this slave plantation, and this potato and pepper will be very promising in the future. If you listen to me, it is better to plant it. These things may be more profitable than growing food."
Niu Ben looked indifferent. He had seen through the ups and downs of his life, and only wanted to preserve his fame in his later years. He said: "We will grow whatever Pang Changshi grows. We still believe in Pang Changshi's vision. of."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
After all, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun were the closest to each other on weekdays, and Pang Yukun knew Xiao Ming's thoughts very well.
After chatting for a while at the Dudu's Mansion, everyone went home and they couldn't wait to tell their families the good news.
At this time, Li Kaiyuan had already arrived at the Prince Qi's mansion, bit the bullet, he still walked in.
"Li Kaiyuan, what's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with this king's reward for you?" Xiao Ming was a little surprised when he learned that Li Kaiyuan had come.
"His Royal Highness, this is not the case. How can the subordinates dare to question the rewards of your Highness? It is said that the subordinates are all forced by Pang Changshi and others. Once they do, they can buy slaves and go back to farming."
"The civil slave trade." Xiao Ming suddenly woke up.
Since he let Liang Dahai sell slaves, the slave trade in Qingzhou has almost been monopolized, but now this situation obviously needs to be changed.
After all, besides Qingzhou~EbookFREE.me~, he also has vast land in Youzhou. Now these land requires a lot of labor, and obviously cannot monopolize it with his own ability, so he can only move more people to buy land for planting Park, this can increase the economic development of Qingzhou.
After all, there is a lot of people and power, and he needs to be a leader, not a person who restrains the overall development for his own benefit.
So he said: "They are right, so let's take this opportunity to liberalize the slave trade, encourage merchants in the chamber of commerce to engage in the slave trade, and allow them to open a slave trade market in Qingzhou."
"Yes, Your Highness." Li Kaiyuan was very excited.
Xiao Ming nodded. Now that the vigorous slave trade in the West is already underway, he cannot fall behind.
Perhaps from a modern point of view, this trade has no human rights, but the fact is that he is in an era without human rights, so there is no need to talk about human rights and be a Virgin.
After all, this issue is a little trivial compared to the national fortune and wealth accumulation.
