It is a good idea to send people to Annan. After all, in the Tang Dynasty, it was more terrible than beheading the head. What are the ends of the world, the smoky land, the hometown of poisonous insects, and the heat is unbearable... Thinking about it makes people's scalp numb and tremble all over.

Annan is even farther away than Lingnan. If you send officials and gentry to you, you will definitely be worse than death. This punishment is enough.

But will something happen if so much garbage is distributed to Annan?

Both Xu Xuan and Li Yu expressed doubts.

"Mr. Marquis, I heard that the people of Annan are fierce and ruthless. If they stir up trouble, it would be bad. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, Annan has been rebelling from time to time, and every time it has been a lot of trouble, fearing that the gain will not be worth the loss!"

Ye Hua smiled indifferently, "The gain is not worth the loss, so I will find a way to make what I get more than I lose!"

Li Yu and Xu Xuan frowned. What kind of good things does Annan have? The labor force is going on an expedition. No matter how you look at it, you will lose more and earn less, and you can't tell what the cheaper you are!

"You are still too honest and your brains are too rigid!"

Wei Renpu turned out from behind the screen and said with a stern face: "Don't you know that the Great Zhou has captured more than 100,000 barbarians, all of which are placed in Hedong and Youzhou!"

Xu Xuan really didn't hear it, "What are you doing to capture barbarians? They have no other skills except fighting and killing."

As an embroidered envoy, Li Yu knew very well. He explained to Xu Xuan: "There are many minerals and farms in Hedong that require coolies. Every year, the surrounding troops will cross the front line of the Great Wall to sweep away the barbarians and capture laborers!"

"ah!"

Xu Xuan was stupid.

The Great Zhou is too fierce!

Didn’t it before that all the barbarians plundered the Han people and went to the grassland to be slaves?

When did the Han people capture the barbarians?

I don’t know if I don’t say it, but when I say it, I’m startled, and the awe in Xu Xuan’s eyes became even stronger.

Ye Hua said: "After all, the barbarians on the grassland are limited, and they continue to migrate to the depths of the desert, so it is very difficult to capture them. So the best source of slaves is the south. From Annan, the men send the minerals in Hedong, the cement ordnance workshop, and the women send them to the textile workshop in Jinling."

Ye Hua said again: "The weaver is very hard. When she is pulling out the silk and decoupling, she has to put her hands into the hot hot water, take out the silk and the skin of her fingers, and she falls off layer by layer. It's very pitiful. If we do this kind of work, we don't have much wages to pay, can we not be resentful!"

Li Yu and Xu Xuan looked at each other, and they were deeply touched!

Who did this?

Isn’t it Li Hongji?

The weaver worked hard for a day, but could not buy two kilograms of grain, and could not even support himself, let alone his family. The people were resentful and the people were separated. Ye Hua led five thousand cavalry guards across the river, and the south of the Yangtze River collapsed. The lesson was very profound!

Why didn’t they, the ministers from Jiangnan, think of using outsiders as coolies?

It's so damn!

Wei Renpu said again: "If you take Annan's people as slaves, transport them back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the land will be empty, and we can settle the people. When our people have firmly established their feet, they will farm and capture more slaves... In a few years, their lives will flourish, which is extraordinary! Moving overseas is not a hard job, but a good opportunity to get rich!"

Ye Hua also added: "After developing overseas, we can have a large amount of grain transported back. With the supply of grain, our city can develop. Buy grain from overseas and sell our goods overseas. Once we go back and forth, the economy can operate at a high speed and expand continuously, and enrich the country and strengthen the army, it will not be far away!"

...

"Shame, so ashamed!"

After coming out of Ye Hua's residence, Xu Xuan burst into tears and felt that he had lived in vain.

In the past, I only knew about opposition, so why didn’t I think of a solution? With the strength of the Nan Tang Navy, the chances of winning will not be small when attacking Annan.

Then seize the population and land of Annan to fill the Southern Tang Dynasty... All the problems in Jinling will disappear, and will become more and more powerful. Maybe there will be a chance to compete with the Central Plains and truly compete with the Great Zhou!

Speaking of which, the collapse of the Southern Tang Dynasty cannot be blamed entirely on Li Hongji, as we ministers are also incompetent!

I am ashamed, so ashamed!

Xu Xuan kept shaking his head and sighing.

Li Yu suddenly chuckled, "Sir Xu, do you think this matter is easy?" He said unceremoniously, "Hong Kong Gong's proposal to equalize the fields, but even if he can't implement it, how many ministers in the court can agree to this proposal? They would say that the benevolent and righteous troops of the country cannot bully the weak, and the labor force will be hard to predict the victory or defeat. The Holy Emperor must cultivate virtue and abide by benevolence and righteousness, move the barbarians, attack the city as the best, and attack the heart as the best... Do Mr. Xu agree?"

Xu Xuan sighed helplessly, who said it was not?

The Southern Tang Dynasty was tied up by various hypocritical propositions and could not open up and get together, so that the country and the family were destroyed. Now they are all ministers of the Great Zhou, but fortunately the Emperor of the Great Zhou, they were brave and resolute, and did everything.

It is a good time for their ministers to show their strength and repay the emperor's kindness.

Xu Xuan looked up at the gray sky for a while and spit out two words from the corner of his mouth: "Catch someone!"

The Great Zhou has been thunderous and decisive, and with a command, the arrest operation began.

More than a hundred officials, together with their families, were taken down. In five days, the prison in Jinling was filled with it. He had to open a separate open space outside the city and set up a straw shed to lock people up.

Among the many officials, Li Deming did not run away. You should know that he could hold the third ivory card in his hand. The original life-saving talisman turned into a life-saving talisman. The Li family, like the ants on the hot pan, were desperately thinking about ways to save their lives.

There are not many people who can speak now. Xu Xuan and Li Yu took action, Chen Qiao and Pan Chengyou held a grudge against Li Deming and others, and only Han Xizai was left, which seemed to be possible.

But Han Xizai went to inspect Fuzhou and other places, persuaded officials from all over the country to surrender to the Great Zhou, and the people were not in Jinling.

They put their ideas on Mrs. Ren.

It happened that Mrs. Ren was a good friend to Mrs. Chanjun Hou’s wife, and through the wife’s route, she could directly reach the sky.

Three days later, a servant from the Han family walked into the wife's room with a gift slip.

"Girl, my aunt has just gotten married and went on an expedition. It's really pitiful to leave the girl alone. We servants can't bear it even when we see it!"

Miss Han smiled indifferently, "The young woman in the boudoir doesn't know how to worry, and she put on the green building in spring. Suddenly, she saw the willows on the street, and regretted asking her husband to find a title."

"When I was a child, I always didn't understand. Is there anything wrong with being a marquis and ministers? But now I understand that it is better to stay together than anything else. But my husband said that he would do his best to cultivate a few people when he went to sea this time. After a few years, they can stand alone, so my husband would not have to work so hard."

The old woman smiled and said, "Although my son-in-law is a rough man, I really know how to be fond of him. I hold the girl in my palm, and I envy her when I see her."

The old woman said, sat next to Miss Han and whispered: "I guess my son-in-law is so promising, and he is also very worthy in the heart of the saint, right? Call me, Jian Zai Dixin!"

Miss Han's lips raised slightly, "There is no naval general in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so I have to do so."

The old woman seemed to have received encouragement and became even more unscrupulous.

"Girl, so, with the status of a son-in-law, who wants to live is just a matter of one word?"

Miss Han heard something was wrong, frowned, and became alert, "Who are you talking for?"

The old woman hurriedly said, "Girl, I dare not scammers. But someone found me and said that Li Tianguan had an injustice. He was framed by Xu Xuan! I wanted to find someone to help him seek justice."

Miss Han's face was gloomy, "What are you asking for justice? I am a woman, and I don't understand any major affairs in the court!"

"Oh, my girl, my son-in-law is so heroic. The master is deeply appreciated by His Majesty. The girl is now also Mrs. Ye's friend. She can say whatever she wants, which is more effective than the ten or hundreds of sentences from others!" The old woman's tone was exaggerated.

"Shut up!"

Miss Han shook her sleeves and said angrily: "I pity you for being old and let you serve you by your side. How can you, an old woman, get involved in the major affairs of the court?"

After saying that, Miss Han was so angry that she didn't look back and walked out directly. She was full of anger and walked through the moon gate. Not far away from her, it was the garden.

Fu San was resting in the pavilion. Miss Han hesitated for a moment, then walked over, angry, and told the matter. She complained: "What's the matter with these court officials? They actually put their ideas on me. They are so omnipresent!"

Fu San listened quietly, this was the reason why she brought Miss Han into the mansion.

"Li Deming is an old minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty and a Minister of Personnel. Many old ministers are now from their disciples... He is different from Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao. Those two are lonely ministers. Your Majesty can use them with confidence. But Li Deming is different. No matter what, he will fall!"

Fu Sandao: "Of course, the status of Lingzun or General Ren may be able to protect him, but this account will be settled on Lingzun and General Ren!"

Miss Han's face turned red, her chest slumped, and she said in panic: "If it weren't for the advice of her, I wouldn't have figured out these things. Speaking rashly would really cause harm." Miss Han admired Fu San more and more. Although she was younger than her, her knowledge would not be able to catch up with her.

"I will expel the old servant from the mansion when I look back. I will never dare to use such a slave."

Fu San nodded, "The people around him are not afraid of being stupid or stupid, but they are afraid of having too many ideas and too fancy thoughts, so they can be driven out."

Fu San said again: "That Li Deming begs you to plead, but what gift did he get?"

Miss Han was stunned and hurriedly said, "I was so angry that I didn't ask."

Fu San said: "It doesn't matter. Since he has asked you for help, I will give him a big gift!"

Miss Han suddenly felt a chill, Fu San's exposed tiger teeth shone, just like a little devil possessed! How would she deal with Li Deming?

In the military camp outside the city, Li Deming and some criminals were sitting under the straw shed, hiding from the sun outside... Suddenly, a team of soldiers rushed over, each carrying a wooden stick in his hand.
