When it comes to Hedong, Ye Hua first remembers coal. There is no way. The coal boss here in his previous life was famous all over the world and was very generous. If he wanted to develop Hedong, he would inevitably make a fuss about coal.

However, the current technical level is too low and the transportation capacity is poor. The value of coal itself is not high, far lower than that of grain. If you cannot find a way to do it manually, there will be no profit and you may even lose money.

This is a very simple economic account. Chai Rong and Wang Pu can calculate it clearly, but if you calculate it clearly, you may not be able to make up your mind.

"Champion Hou, you are so gentle, how can you restore slaves to Hedong? What should I do in the Central Plains? What should I do in other places? Should I treat the people as grass?" Wang Pu asked angrily.

Ye Hua rolled his eyes, "Sir Wang, when did I say that the people of the Great Zhou should be slaves?"

Wang Pu widened his eyes and said angrily: "Mr. Marquis, you just said you wanted to do slavery, but now you have regretted it. What do you mean?"

Chai Rong grabbed his short beard, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Sir Wang, I understand what Ye Qing means. He said that he would not use the people of the Great Zhou, but he did not say that he could not use other people!"

"oh!"

Wang Pu took a breath and suddenly hit the forehead with his hand. It was so damn. He couldn't even hear this meaning. He was really confused.

"Mr. Marquis, if I guess correctly, these first slaves are Shatu people, right?" Wang Pu asked gritted his teeth.

"That's right, they should pay the price for these decades!" Ye Hua said with a cold tone, and Li Keyong was quite a contribution to suppressing the Huang Chao uprising as a mercenary of the Tang Dynasty. However, later, the Shatuo group gradually lost control and separating one side, causing harm to the world, the chaos of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and Shi Jingtang betrayed Yan Yun, which harmed the Han family for four hundred years. This account cannot be ignored!

"Your Majesty, I think all the men in Hedong should be used as slaves, and they should use them to dig coal for the people of the capital and workshops."

With Ye Hua's efforts, along the Wuzhang River, an industrial corridor, steel, ordnance, gunpowder... has been formed, forming the core of the combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou army. Without these three things, it would be impossible to quickly break the Jinyang city wall.

Coal is industrial food. The more you feed it, the more the industrial system will expand and grow. In the future, it will rely on this industrial monster to unify the world!

Wang Pu Siliang said, "Mr. Marquis, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 males in Hedong at present, so it is probably not enough, right?"

"What's the problem with this? Are there Dangxiang people? There are Khitans, Shiwei people, westwards, Tubo people, Uighurs... just arrest them and use them!"

"You said it lightly!" Wang Pu shouted strangely: "They are both fierce and good at fighting, not easy to deal with! Are you not afraid of wars?"

"Not afraid!"

Ye Hua said proudly: "We defeated the Khitan, destroyed the Shatuo Iron Cavalry, and smashed the Jinyang City! Who else in the world can stop the sages of the Great Zhou Dynasty! A powerful army requires constant fighting and tempering. Slaves are captured and sold to the mines, and the mines provide cheap coal to supply the ordnance workshops. The ordnance workshops produce more high-quality and low-priced weapons, and then sold them to the army. With better weapons, soldiers can capture slaves at a lower price... In this way, a perfect cycle is formed, and all parties can benefit. Isn't that good?"

Faced with Ye Hua's powerful logical offensive, Wang Pu was completely defeated.

The old man was left with only murmured to himself, "Marty, everyone benefits, but there will always be losses, right?"

"Yes, the Shatuo people suffer, the Khitan people suffer, the Dangxiang people suffer, the Tubo people suffer... How can they suffer? Even if they are all dead, what does it have to do with you?"

Wang Pu blushed, "This is definitely not the king's way. We should use a gentle approach to the four barbarians to conquer their hearts. If we use strong power alone, we will cause great disasters!"

"What a big disaster? If they have the ability, they will come and fight to see if they can beat the powerful soldiers of the Great Zhou!" Ye Hua said with a smile: "Sir Wang, it is too difficult to conquer people's hearts, but killing people is just a matter of one knife. Ye is a martial artist, without such profound moral knowledge, and he asks himself that he can't influence the barbarians... Otherwise." Ye Hua came to Wang Pu's side and whispered: "I will send a few people to escort Shin-Ji to the grassland, so that you can subdue people's hearts, either for ten or twenty years. At that time, the four barbarians will come to pay tribute to Your Majesty. My Great Zhou Dynasty will pay tribute. If you have great achievements, you will definitely become a saint!"

Wang Pu's old face was purple. Not to mention letting him go there for ten or eight years, maybe he died in ten or eight days. Is there anyone who framed the old man like this? The boy named Ye is simply a son!

"I am not a pedantic person. I am just worried that if you do this, it will arouse the disgust of all tribes. When they come together to attack the border, there will be war fires everywhere. What should I do? Can you rely on your champion Hou alone to stop it?" Wang Pu retorted.

Ye Hua said, "Sir Wang, you said that, isn't it pedantic? Those tribes have much more hatred than us, and they are simply irreconcilable. We can buy Tubo slaves from the Dangxiang people, buy Khitan slaves from the Shiwei tribe, and buy Western Region slaves from the Uighurs... Only those thorns that jumped out will be cleaned up by us personally. How about it, you understand!"

"The ancestors taught us to join forces, to fight against each other, to attack from each other, to break up each other... If you don't learn so many good things, you have to talk about benevolence and righteousness, to be kingly and gentle, to talk about these things to the barbarians, do they understand? This is to play the piano against a cow, and it's useless to waste your efforts!"

...

The result of this debate is obvious, and Wang Pu lost completely.

But he has one last move.

"Your Majesty, it is true that what the Champion Hou said is reasonable, but treating the four barbarians like this will not cause gossip. There are also countries in the south of the Yangtze River. They will also gossip, for fear that it will hurt Your Majesty's wiseness. The old minister thinks he should think twice before doing it!"

“No need!”

Chai Rong waved his hand suddenly, and he laughed and said, "I have listened to the words of Mr. Wang and Ye Qing. I am the emperor of the Great Zhou and the emperor of the Han family. I have never thought of being a Khan of the Heavenly Khan! As for the southern countries, as long as the Great Zhou national strength is sufficient, the troops will only surrender when they reach their peak! How could I be afraid of some gossip!"

Chai Rong said to Ye Hua again: "Ye Qing, I think I'm still too polite when you said just now."

Ye Hua took a breath, he was still polite? My Majesty, what do you want to do?

Seeing Ye Hua's face full of suspicion, Chai Rong finally smiled, "Ye Qing, you said you would like to make all the male men of Shatuo a slave, what about the woman? What about?"

"This... Your Majesty wants to make full use of people and use their talents?" Ye Hua asked tentatively.

Chai Rong nodded happily, "It's right! Your words remind me that the treasury is empty, but the rewards cannot be limited to money, official positions, not! The soldiers followed me and fought for so many years, and it's time for someone to serve the bed warmer!"

What a considerate emperor!

Ye Hua and Wang Pu were speechless and could only bow together to thank everyone for their kindness.

Chai Rong smiled again and said, "Ye Qing, do you know what the soldiers are doing?"

Ye Hua shook his head.

"They are all celebrating. I know that my son-in-law Zhang Yongde is treating him. He has captured hundreds of palace maids. Your good brother Chen Shi has also been abducted by them... Let's go and follow me to greet everyone!"

Chai Rong smiled meaningfully, got up and strode outside.

Ye Hua is so smart. The emperor smiled too sinisterly, I'm afraid someone will be in trouble!

Stone, I hope you don't hit the gun.

Ye Hua quickly followed, Wang Pu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but smile. There was a good show to watch... Among the martial artists, Ye Hua, the monster, could be so angry that no one else was worth mentioning!

I want to take advantage of this opportunity to get back all the face I just lost!

Thinking of this, Wang Pu walked lightly, as if he was twenty years younger, and even Ye Hua couldn't keep up.

The three kings and ministers brought only a few guards and came directly to the prime minister's mansion in the city.

At the gate of the prime minister's mansion, Guo Wuwei leaned his head and looked around... It was embarrassing to say that he was a prime minister, but he couldn't even keep his family.

Zhang Yongde wanted to treat him, but he didn't dare to go to the palace. The other mansions were either burned or not spacious enough. There was no way to go, so he could only use the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Guo Wuwei had no place to go, so he could only watch the door for the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty outside!

What's this called?

Do nothing but do nothing!

His name is right!

Even the brothel work has been taken, what else can't be done?

This old face has no place to put it!

He was determined to kill him, but he didn't have the courage. Zhang Yongde made it clear, if you are honest, I won't touch your family, otherwise you, Guo Wuwei's daughter, daughter-in-law, or even grandson, would not be able to escape!

"There are not a good thing for these powerful generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Just as he was complaining, he found that the three kings and ministers were coming. Guo Wuwei's face changed drastically and he quickly kowtowed!

Chai Rong said calmly: "Are those beasts who have not grown up all in it? They are so brave. Is there any emperor in my eyes? The rules in the army have ruined them!"

The emperor was so angry that he was here to raise an army to punish him!

Guo Wuwei was overjoyed. The Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty still had to cleanse people's hearts, at least he had to act, not to go too far! He immediately burst into tears, "The saint is above, generals, he, they are really too far... I'll ask the saint to be the master!"

Chai Rong nodded, "Since I am here, I will be fair. You can follow me in!"

Guo Wuwei was overjoyed and quickly got up and followed Chai Rong obediently. He thought in his heart that Chai Rong could not deal with too many people. At most, just hit him. This is enough. Who made them the devastated people?

Guo Wuwei didn't notice at all. Behind him, Ye Hua looked like a sucking man, and he dared to complain, but you old guy can't figure out the situation!
