I don't want to be king

Chapter 218 Liberating the Natives
"Can one shot destroy the third rank?"

There was no sadness in Lin Yi's tone. Most of the people in Tian Shiyou's hands were desperadoes, and basically all of them had human lives on their hands. If they were all dead, the world would be cleansed.

He has no regrets.

He was more surprised and excited!

A cannon that can kill martial arts masters is exactly what he dreams of!

Wouldn't it be better if this thing fell into his own hands?
"My lord, it is absolutely true,"

Ge Laoshan vowed, "I have seen the corpse, and I can't find any scum after being bombarded. It's too horrible to look at. It's too terrible.

In the end, Tian Shiyou was afraid of the cannon, so he took someone to bring it to him at night, otherwise he didn't know what would happen.

And this musket is more powerful than ours, and I almost missed it. It is very fierce, and it is impossible to guard against it. "

"There are muskets, too,"

Lin Yi was even happier, "It seems that these foreign devils are still a little level."

In this time and space, he felt a real surprise for the first time.

"foreign devil?

Or the word wangye is appropriate, but it looks like a ghost, it's quite scary, "

Ge Laoshan continued, "Relying on their strong ships and guns, they occupied the southern part of Nanyang, enslaved the natives, and made them work. The natives couldn't resist even if they wanted to."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "The boat is better than ours?"

Ge Laoshan nodded and said, "I really can't tell how powerful that boat is, anyway, if it really runs, our big boat can't catch up.

In the sea battle, Du Sanhe was no match for them, and he was defeated once. In the end, Du Sanhe still waited for them to go ashore, and dealt with them on the shore. "

"Du Sanhe has suffered a lot?"

The expression on Lin Yi's face became more and more exciting, "It seems that these foreigners still have some real skills."

"Yes, Du Sanhe's boat has to hide a little bit from the foreign devil's cannon. Otherwise, what if it falls into the sea, and it will not be able to swim to the shore for ten days and a half months. If it does not drown, it will starve to death."

Ge Laoshan continued, "Moreover, this foreigner is not the same as a foreigner. They seem to belong to different countries, and they all speak with different accents. Two groups of foreign devils fought several times in the Nanyang sea.

Just like us and Ayu people. "

"I understand that,"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Show Master Shanqi the big ships, cannons, and muskets you captured, and ask him to ask someone in the dock to study them. As a human being, you can't be short-sighted, and you must learn from others' strengths."

"My lord."

Ge Laoshan's face was long.

They seized the big ship, so it can't be given to the Chief Secretary for free, right?
"Look at your prospects,"

Lin Yi said angrily, "When you were engaged in maritime trade, it seems that the king confiscated the money for your shipping license?"

Hearing what Lin Yi said, Ge Laoshan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord, Caomin is going to see Mr. Shan right now!"

Compared with the shipping license, how much is a broken ship?
So I agreed without hesitation.

"Wait,"

Lin Yi called to him, "I ask you, how many foreigners have been arrested this time?"

Ge Laoshan said, "Caomin has more than 100 people here, Tian Shiyou has more than 500 people, and other families have more than 400 people. There should be more than 1000 people in various places, including men, women and children.

The big boats of Liang Gen, Qiu Wujin and others have not returned yet, and if theirs are added, there will probably be more. "

Lin Yi stood up, and after pacing back and forth in the hall, he said in a deep voice, "Xiao Xizi, please send a message to Lord Shan. From now on, Sanhe prohibits the trading of human beings, regardless of whether they are foreigners or natives. "

"My lord."

Ge Laoshan was stunned.

Stop human trafficking, this is not just a sentence, a matter of regulations!
Many Sanhe people are interested in buying and selling natives!
If one is not handled well, I am afraid it will really arouse public outrage.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "Just let Mr. Shan come over."

"Yes."

Xiao Xizi retreated directly.

Ge Laoshan still stood in front of Lin Yi bravely.

Shan Qi, Wang Qingbang and others came very quickly. They were all shocked when they heard that Lin Yi was going to ban human trafficking, just like Ge Laoshan.

In front of Baiyun City, who doesn't have one or two natives?
It is really involved!
Shan Qi cupped her hands and said, "My lord, please think twice."

"All the natives in the past have also returned to their freedom, and the chief secretary will buy them from the master's house at a price. If the money is insufficient, the land will be paid to them,"

Lin Yi said while drinking tea, "There is no need to discuss this matter.

The Chief Secretary has restored their freedom, giving land to those who are willing to farm, and finding work for those who are willing to work. Now roads are being built everywhere, even if they are allowed to build roads, it is very good. "

With hindsight, he finally felt that something was wrong with the human trafficking.

After all, Sanhe is not America, and there is no shortage of people so that slavery is needed to maintain development.

Let these sea merchants continue to mess around, and Sanhe's population ratio will be out of balance in a short time!
At that time, the natives will become the main body, but these locals will become a minority instead!
If it drags on, the conflict between the natives and the locals will become more and more intensified, and it will not be good to cause civil strife.

Moreover, keeping these labor forces in the hands of individuals is not conducive to the development of Sanhe productivity.

Ge Laoshan couldn't help but said, "My lord, what about the captured prisoners?"

Lin Yi said, "Send them all to the Chief Secretary, let them build roads, and give them a chance to make up for their mistakes.

Sir Shan, tell everyone clearly, take a closer look, the world is far bigger than we imagined, only by grabbing land and robbing business can we make a lot of money, what is the benefit of doing human trafficking?
Moreover, where these foreign devils came from and what they did in Nanyang, ask a translator to ask them all, and see if there is a chance to do business together.

Of course, if they insist on rejecting this king's kindness and asking where their hometown is, this king will come to ask in person. "

"Yes."

Seeing that Lin Yi had no room for negotiation, Shan Qi had to bite the bullet and agree.

As he expected, on the second day, the Chief Secretary banned human trafficking, and after the announcement of the release of the natives was posted, it caused an uproar in Baiyun City.

Many people can't figure it out when they die. The native people they bought with their own money are good enough to take care of their children, farm, cook, and serve water and tea. Why just let them go?
Some people are going to hold on to see what the police can do to themselves!
However, within two days, the Liang family, the Wang family, and the Hu family and other big families began to release the natives on their own initiative.

Sanhe began to panic a little.

Big families like the Liang family and the Wang family have done this, what else can ordinary people do?
They were afraid of Sanhe's laws, and despite their displeasure, they obediently sent the natives to the chief secretary's yamen.

Shan Qi himself didn't expect that the Sanhe people would be so obedient, and they couldn't arrange to accept so many natives at once, so they simply sent them all to the road construction site.

The most difficult thing is that the money in his hand is not enough, a strong native needs a tael of silver now!
Therefore, we can only let those masters get the land as much as possible.

It's a pity that all the good words are useless, all they want is money!
Spring plowing has begun.

The Sanhe people, who were used to using the natives, were all frowning.

It is obviously unrealistic to rely on a few people in so many lands. They have no choice but to find the former natives of their own family back. However, this time they not only have to take care of food, but also have to pay wages.

It's hard to tell.

The only consolation is that the wages of native people are cheaper than those of Nanzhou and Yuezhou refugees.

"What the hell is it called!"

Tian Shiyou looked at the natives with their families on the big boat and cursed.

These natives were all brought back by sea merchants, but they never imagined that there would be a day for them to send them back in person!
Many natives participated in the expedition to Ayu and Yuezhou. The peasants would rob, and the natives were not stupid, so they would naturally rob. Many people secretly saved their wealth.

Now that they are free, they are very homesick, and anyone who can afford a boat ticket can't wait to get on the big ship of the maritime merchant.

"Uncle Tian,"

A dark and thin old man walked up to Tian Shiyou and knelt down, "Your kindness will never be forgotten in a lifetime."

"Grandma, you bear, your official words are more slippery than me,"

Tian Shiyou said angrily, "I'll tell you first, I can only send you to Lu Bin, and you can figure out the rest yourself."

The old man hurriedly kowtowed, "I am so grateful!"

Tian Shiyou continued, "You have to be mentally prepared, have you seen those big noses?
They have occupied your lair long ago, you have to think clearly about whether it will be okay when you go back. "

The old man cried, "Even if the old man dies, he will die at home!"

Tian Shiyou glanced at the people on the boat, and snorted coldly, "Stop pretending to be pitiful, don't think I don't know, you bastards are secretly learning kung fu."

The old man was stunned, shaking like chaff all over his body.

"Okay, it seems like no one knows,"

Tian Shiyou said impatiently, "It's you, the old man, who has been making troubles inside, instigating your clansmen to practice martial arts in secret. You have good eyesight, and you know that Sanhe's kung fu is very good."

"Don't dare!"

Cold sweat dripped down the old man's forehead onto the deck.

"Humph,"

Tian Shiyou glanced at the rising sun, "I didn't say what to do with you, anyway, you are lucky, and the prince is kind, let you go, in the future, you can't be ungrateful, you must always remember the relationship with the prince. Ender."

In fact, he was gradually able to understand the meaning of He Wangye, which is to let these natives who have a relationship with Sanhe go back, and use the natives to control the foreigners!

And if you think about it again, it's really not a good thing that there are more of these natives in Sanhe!
"Never dare to forget the kindness of the prince!"

The old man wept bitterly.

"Your name is Dag?"

"Yes."

"I remember you."

After Tian Shiyou finished speaking, he laughed loudly, and then roared, "Don't dawdle, get ready to set sail."

The deck suddenly became busy.

Under the morning glow, fifteen large ships set sail at the same time, going down the river in a mighty way.

Lin Yi was lying shirtless under the grape arbor, holding his teacup, taking a few sips from time to time.
