It takes time to mobilize troops, not because of distance, but because of selection.
The generals of the Twelve Guards are all members of the military system. They will cooperate vigorously with Li Yuanxing's request and Li Er's imperial decree, no matter what the reason is.
And Li Yuanxing returned to modern times on the night of January 8, the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty.
In modern times, Li Yuanxing's life is very tense, and he has to spend at least eight hours in the studio every day. Even when he is not on the scene, Li Yuanxing will stay in the film and television base, for no other reason than to make a contribution to the outside world.
He pretends that he is very sad and that only hard work can alleviate this sadness.
On the morning when Li Yuanxing returned to modern times, Li Lanshan accompanied the cabinet master to visit Li Yuanxing in the name of a visiting team.
"Two big shots are here!" Li Yuanxing greeted them in front of the lounge door with a smile.
Li Lanshan rolled her eyes at Li Yuanxing, and then asked a few young people on set to go to the car to carry down the gifts she had brought. Li Lanshan bought several halal snacks from a large box store, which were considered gifts for the crew.
Except for very professional people, the staff here are all the gangsters who worked under Li Yuanxing before.
A bunch of gangsters, fighting for a chance to be a part-timer all day long, worked hard in front of the director, worked hard, and acted hard. In short, they were full of praise. They praised these people for being so much better than the ones they had encountered before.
Much more.
Li Yuanxing's lounge!
"I've seen what you took and deleted it after reading it. Don't worry!" The cabinet man had a smile on his face.
"It's very powerful!" Li Yuanxing said proudly.
"Very good. You have shown your absolute strength in front of foreigners, which can at least allow the Tang Dynasty to recuperate in a few years. Next, there will be internal conflicts within society. Grandpa must remind you. After the common people become rich, they will have an impact on the lower nobles. Slaves
After denationalization, the impact on the civilian class!"
The cabinet master said it seriously. Li Yuanxing had never considered such a problem before.
Li Lanshan said from the side: "I don't think this is a problem. There are two reasons. One is power. Under the power of the imperial power era, the social hierarchy is strict. As long as the level is raised legally, there will be chaos, and the lower nobles will
His decline, and even his status as a commoner, were ignored by the great nobles at all!"
"Nonsense, democracy is the right way!" the cabinet master retorted.
Li Yuanxing and Li Lanshan asked in unison: "Why do we need democracy? Datang does not need democracy!"
The cabinet master was holding the cigarette bag and wanted to hit someone. Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand to block it and protected Li Lanshan with his other hand: "In this way, my wife is responsible for convincing grandpa, let's continue talking!"
"Disgusting, who is your wife!" Li Lanshan's face immediately turned red.
"Whoever agrees will be my wife!" Li Yuanxing's face remained unchanged and his heart stopped beating.
The cabinet master let out a long sigh and knocked his pipe twice on the table: "You young couple want to make love. Go back to the house in the evening. What are you doing in front of the old man?"
Li Lanshan glared at Li Yuanxing and continued: "The second point is that the huge demand for social productivity is equivalent to a labor shortage. The nobles will not bully the common people, and will even help the common people get rich. The social status of the slaves will also be improved.
, this is a necessary phenomenon, unless excessive productivity is reached, but..."
Li Lanshan did not continue, but Li Yuanxing said: "When I get old, this trouble will not arise. How big is the population of the Tang Dynasty, and how many places on the earth are empty!"
"Okay, let this go!" The cabinet master also thought that he needed to rethink.
Questions about social systems.
"Actually, my big question now is, what should I do with my slave?" Li Yuanxing said with a smile!
"What should I do? Just be nice to them and be a kind king!" Li Lanshan rushed to say.
Li Yuanxing laughed loudly: "Wu Zhao said that I was an evil and cruel dark slave owner in the old society. Do you know how many slaves I have?" Li Yuanxing's expression was a little proud, because he knew that it was impossible for Li Lanshan to guess this number.
Li Lanshan was quickly recalling what she knew about slaves.
In an era when black slaves were sold in large quantities, the slave owners of large estates in South America also had thousands of slaves. Thinking about Li Yuanxing, he probably had no less, so he made a bold guess: "A thousand slaves!"
Not to mention Li Yuanxing, even the cabinet master shook his head: "At least over ten thousand people!"
"Hahaha!" Li Yuanxing smiled proudly: "I said you couldn't guess it, because after seeing the numbers, Wu Zhao's face turned pale!"
"How many!" Grandfather and grandson asked at the same time.
Li Yuanxing stretched out his palm, and Li Lanshan and the cabinet master said at the same time: "Fifty thousand people!" Li Lanshan couldn't believe this number: "You actually have fifty thousand slaves. Where did you get so many slaves?"
The cabinet master also couldn't believe it and was looking forward to Li Yuanxing's answer.
"Wrong, it's half a million people. And there will be more. Within three years, there will be a million slaves in my territory."
"One million slaves!" Not to mention that Li Lanshan was not calm anymore, even the cabinet master stood up in shock. This huge number was as shocked as Li Er was when he heard Li Yuanxing's order of four million kilograms of iron a year.
For Datang, four million kilograms of iron was an astonishingly huge number.
To modern people, the number of millions of slaves is no less horrifying than the horrific consequences of a catastrophe. There are millions of slaves.
"You, you, you!" Li Lanshan threw herself in front of Li Yuanxing: "Do you still have humanity?"
"No!" Li Yuanxing said firmly: "What kind of humanity do I want? I mobilize the three tribes of Mohe, Shiwei and Khitan to hunt Goguryeo. Ten people can be exchanged for one piece of fine linen, or one person can be exchanged for ten buckets of spirits.
There is no need for them to transport the grain. The delivery location is a hundred miles north of the current capital!"
Hahaha! The cabinet master smiled and pulled Li Lanshan away: "Girl, sit down!"
"He, he is too cruel!" Li Lanshan couldn't accept it.
"You have learned history in vain. The stage of capital accumulation was bloody. Moreover, at the time, Xingwazi's approach was a great achievement in opening up territory and expanding the territory. Don't look at those in power with the eyes of ordinary citizens. If you don't grow up,
, you can’t keep up with Xingwazi!”
Li Lanshan was very unconvinced by the cabinet master's lesson.
Li Yuanxing smiled and further stimulated Li Lanshan: "Beautiful women are expensive. There is a top Korean beauty who is worth ten oxen. An ordinary young female slave who is in good health is worth half an ox."
"I want to beat you!" Li Lanshan was about to get angry.
But the cabinet master was very calm: "How do you plan to use this slave girl?"
The cabinet master actually used the word "use" in his words. He was not talking about people, but about tools.
Li Lanshan opened her mouth in surprise. She couldn't believe that these were the words coming from her own grandfather's mouth.
"Three uses. First, it is needed by the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty. To put it cruelly, the more beautiful the ending, the worse it may be, because their biggest capital is their body. I can't change this, and I don't plan to change it.
There is no need to change." Li Yuanxing said with a serious expression.
The cabinet master nodded slightly. He still agreed with Li Yuanxing's statement.
To the surprise of the cabinet master and Li Yuanxing, Li Lanshan actually agreed.
Li Lanshan said: "This is true. It is impossible for one person to change the general habits of society, just like it is impossible to reverse the course of a river."
"However, I have helped these people. The best single soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can be chosen to be wives! Of course, this is also the second demand I want to talk about."
Li Lanshan has calmed down: "According to historical records, during wars, the most difficult thing to guarantee the life of girls is girls. It seems that in the early years of Zhenguan, the trouble left by the wars had begun to cause social conflicts."
Li Yuanxing did not answer and continued: "Slaves also need the best slaves who are qualified to marry and have the opportunity to escape from slavery. Moreover, I have legislated to give slaves some human rights. Although it is very small, at least it guarantees
We must protect the right to life and cherish life according to Confucian theory!"
The cabinet master understood Li Yuanxing's trouble.
"Xingwazi, your current trouble should be that this huge number of slaves are consuming your regular army. It costs too much to look after them. With half a million people, you need at least 30,000 to 50,000 people to look after them!"
Li Yuanxing sighed softly: "Unfortunately, I don't have so many troops."
"How many do you have?"
"There are less than 30,000 people, and they are also responsible for the security of the entire Yaozhou area. There are less than 13,000 people guarding slaves."
The pressure is huge. The cabinet master can imagine how terrible the consequences will be if the slaves riot, and these slaves who are strong must come into contact with iron tools, whether it is a mining area or a blacksmith workshop.
"Girl, help Xingwa come up with a countermeasure in three days!" the cabinet master said to Li Lanshan!
"Me!" Li Lanshan pointed at herself, and the cabinet master and Li Yuanxing nodded at the same time. The meaning was obvious, it was you.
Three days was exactly the time for Li Yuanxing to leave again.
Time was very tight, and Li Lanshan didn't even have an assistant this time, so she had to figure it out all by herself.
Wu Zhao thought about it, but she couldn't come up with a very clever way. She also knew that slaves had riots time and time again in history. From Sparta to South America in the 18th century, there were tens of thousands of records.
Most times.
And the number of the largest riot was not as large as the total number of slaves Li Yuanxing had now.
Half a million slaves, what a huge and terrifying number.
Three days!
Li Lanshan couldn't refuse, one was her grandfather and the other was her husband.
She could only think of a way and try every means to solve this trouble.
Although everyone knows that carrots and sticks are useful, but what is the carrot and what is the stick?
What else do slaves have? What do they care about?
They are already slaves, what else are they afraid of? (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
