"Your Highness? Are you... angry?"

"Hmm? No."

Chen Shubao smiled at Chen Wuhua, stretched out his fingers, and plucked the broken hair in front of her forehead.

"It's late at night, let's go back and rest soon. Tomorrow, I will go to court obediently."

Chen Shubao said softly to Chen Wuhua in a tone of coaxing the child.

Chen Wuhua was stunned and quite shocked.

I thought that my honest persuasion would arouse the prince’s impatientness, disgust, and even... anger.

She was already ready to persuade her even in anger.

Unexpectedly...

"Then I will surrender."

After seeing off his eldest wife, Chen Shubao sat there blankly, expressionless.

In the 21st century, the family's parents died early, and Chen Shubao lived alone for many years. Except for the cats at home, they would worry that he would return late and no one would feed cat food... The rest of the world probably wouldn't think of him.

Now, someone suddenly cares.

It's really a bit difficult to adapt.

———

The next day, before the hour of Mao, Chen Shubao had already washed and put on his clothes, stood outside the Tai Chi Hall, waiting to go to court.

Several ministers were waiting outside the Tai Chi Hall, and they were a little surprised to see the prince coming so early.

Eyes meet and whisper.

Emperor Xuan of Chen usually went on a ten-day day, and when government affairs were busy, he would go on a two or three-day day, but he was not diligent enough to attend court every day. This was also what Chen Shubao heard from Xu An.

He always thought that ancient emperors were like in TV series, and they were performing in court every day.

However, it is the emperor who decides whether to attend court or not.

After all, there are countless emperors in history who "spring nights are short and the day is high, and from then on, the king will not go to court early."

The wind was cold in winter, and soon, approaching the hour of Mao, the door of Taiji Hall opened.

A group of people rushed into the Tai Chi Hall.

This group of people is the top talents in Nanchen politics.

Chen Shubao put his hand behind him, walked through the crowd, walked to the front of the hall, and sat down on a chair next to the emperor's old man.

This feeling of standing out from the crowd made Chen Shubao's heart extremely inflated!

So his chin was raised higher and his nostrils were about to be facing the sky.

In addition to the obvious height advantage (you know, Chen Shubao is 1.88 meters tall and a standard nine-foot man at this moment), the most important thing is the advantage of status, which gives Chen Shubao unlimited self-confidence, oh, no, it is conceited.

"Your Majesty————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The eunuch's long and sharp voice resounded throughout the Tai Chi Hall, and the originally noisy hall immediately became silent.

A middle-aged man wearing a yellow and black big sleeve shirt, a white gauze hat and holding a wishful heart, walked up to the throne facing north and south, and swung his sleeves and sat down with a domineering look.

"The family of all the ministers is peaceful." Emperor Xuan of Chen's deep voice sounded.

Chen Shubao began to look at Emperor Xuan of Chen, his eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar to his face at this time. Perhaps because of middle age, his belly had begun to gain weight... When he was young, he should have been a handsome man.

Oh, no, a rich and powerful man is beautiful even if his facial features are not neat!

Well, having money is the most beautiful.

Enter the theme of morning court straight to the point.

An official was the first to stand up and brag about it first, Mr. Chen was invincible!

As early as October, the Chen army sent troops to recapture Xuzhou and Yanzhou and defeated the Zhou army in Luliang. In December, the Chen army returned triumphantly, and the ministers expressed that they would give certain rewards to the soldiers and generals.

However! An official emphasized that the main reason for this victory was that His Majesty was well-known for his leadership!

Emperor Chen Xuan was very happy to hear it!

OK, reward!

Everyone sighed, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Chen Shubao sneered in his heart, what's there to show off to win a small battle?

It's not that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed...

Anyway, sooner or later, the Southern Chen Dynasty will be razed to the ground by the Northern Zhou Dynasty...

Standing from the perspective of Chen Shubao, who is known to the future, watching these fools celebrating and joyful look, they all seem to be watching monkey plays...

On the next agenda, an official stood up and said:

Last month, Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou and Yuwen Yong released a major news.

"All miscellaneous households will be released for the people."

He also released the slaves and servants from Northern Qi who had been plundered in Dongtu and Jiangling for the people.

This is worth pondering...

Chen Shubao raised his eyebrows, "This Zhou Kingdom is very excellent! This preferential policy is equivalent to opening his arms to the slaves of Chen Kingdom and saying, come to my arms quickly!"

This idea of ​​abolishing slavery is very advanced.

In that era, a large number of slaves were used in the field of production, especially in handicrafts. Whether state-owned or private, they almost used slave labor.

The problem of slaves also became one of the reasons for the peasant uprising in the late Western Han Dynasty.

When we arrived in Nanchen, the price of slaves was also very low, so the use of slaves became more widespread! The number was quite amazing!

There is a saying that doesn’t mean, “Growing should ask slaves, weaving should ask maids.”

Therefore, Chen Shubao believes that the abolition of slavery at the Northern Zhou Dynasty was a very correct decision, even an epoch-making and historically significant great decision!

At least after the abolition of slavery, handicrafts and commerce can be promoted and the economy will flourish!

But Chen Shubao knew that he would not understand or understand these old antiques.

In their eyes, businessmen are the most humble and inferior, and economic prosperity is useless...

Therefore, a minister immediately agreed: "I believe that this move of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will definitely disrupt the people's hearts. At that time, if the Northern Zhou Dynasty is in chaos, our army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Bah!" Chen Shubao really wanted to spit at the minister.

Who is used to the problem of dreaming?!

Don’t look at it, how many slaves are there? How many good people are there!

According to the laws of the Northern Qi Dynasty, a commoner can possess no more than 60 slaves.

Until now, although the Northern Qi was destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the number of slaves, no matter how many people counted, is still dozens of times that of the common people!

Although this policy of the Northern Zhou Dynasty colded the hearts of the 60th of the common people, it warmed the hearts of the 59th of the 60th of the slaves!

How can it get messy?

Experience tells us that the minority can only obey the majority!

"Yuan Xiu, what do you think?" said Emperor Chen Xuan.

When Chen Shubao heard the word "Yuan Xiu", his lips trembled three times.

This is very difficult to deal with!

It is clear that the Northern Zhou Dynasty is a slave-benefiting policy and will be supported by the majority of slaves. It would be even better if it could attract slaves from the south to escape to the north and sufficient civilian power and military strength...

This is like a price war between two merchants, and the price can only be lower and lower, and then both lose and lose, and the lower one wins.

But Nan Chen cannot participate in this price war.

"In the opinion of the sons, the world should be pardoned, and some excellent slaves should be exempted from becoming good people, and the sons of slaves will no longer inherit their status as slaves."

Chen Shubao also said nonsense. Anyway, these officials in Southern Chen would not agree with it.

Emperor Xuan of Chen remained silent.

One stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves.

The ministers below have already been furious and criticized, and their eloquence is very excellent! It is comparable to the keyboard warrior of the 21st century!

Hoho, a bunch of idiots.
Chapter completed!
