Chapter 1298: Means

First of all, we must cut off the source of slaves and destroy the slave traders.

"Li Mi, you Jing'an Army will deal with this matter!" Li Ze said: "The water anti-smuggling department of Jing'an Army should increase the search and arrest of such ships. In this regard, Gao Xiangsheng should provide necessary intelligence support."

"Your Majesty, it's not difficult to find them, but because they are unacceptable, what reason should we arrest them?" Li Mi said in embarrassment.

"What's the difficulty?" Gao Xiangsheng curled his lips and said, "If they were transporting goods, they should have a trade certificate and a tax certificate. Everyone on the ship should have an identity certificate. But do they have one? I'm afraid there is no one? The ship does not carry cargo, but people are packed with people, and they are unknown foreigners. What do they want to do? Do they want to plot rebellion and transport foreign troops into our Tang Dynasty? "

Li Mi said astonishedly: "When this big hat is put on, these slave traders will be punished by death. Not only themselves, but also their relatives, will they be involved too much?"

Gao Xiangsheng snorted coldly: "Under the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. How many people have these slave traders killed during the long transportation? As far as I investigated, during the long voyage, whenever a slave is sick, whether he dies or not, he will just throw it into the sea. It is probably not an exaggeration for them to kill ten times. As for their relatives, have they not enjoyed the black money they earned? Since they have enjoyed these bloody money, what can I complain about when it comes to repaying it?"

Wu Jin did not make any noise and had no objection to punishing the slave traders, but he did not like Gao Xiangsheng's method of weaving crimes. As the supreme leader of the Supervisory Commission, he liked to prove his crimes rather than weaving crimes. But under the current situation, there were not enough laws to rely on and effectively curb such things. It seemed that besides this path, he really couldn't think of a more appropriate way.

It seems that after the continued progress, we need to communicate with Chunyu Yue well. The laws on slaves must be issued as soon as possible, so as not to do such things easily in the future. In the future, it will naturally be transplanted to other things, which will be a big disaster.

"You can use such reasons to arrest it? But you may have to use such reasons to judge it!" Li Ze said: "Catch it? Close it for a while, and make a toss and turns it over. You can effectively crack down on this behavior. These people are all sensible. As long as you catch it a few times, they will realize that the news is wrong. Smart people will turn around? Stubborn people can increase the intensity of the attack. I dare not say that such things will disappear, but at least it can greatly reduce the rampant level of slave trafficking."

"Your Majesty's approach is very good." Wu Jin immediately agreed, "You can impose huge fines, deposits and other methods on them? I think these people will choose the latter very happily when they are charged with treason and when they are paying huge fines."

Li Mi smiled and said, "In this way, the treasury can also charge a large amount of money to relieve financial pressure, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Hurry up on this matter. After going on, Li Mi and Gao Xiangsheng will discuss and arrange it immediately. Many places will take action at the same time." Li Ze said.

"Your Majesty, what if the opponent fled or resisted?" Li Mi suddenly remembered something: "Our Jing'an Army anti-smuggling ships are all coastal boats, and each ship is equipped with few armed personnel? Once a conflict occurs, we will definitely suffer a loss against those large sea ships that sell slaves."

"If they dare to do this, then they are really planning to traitor." Li Ze said coldly. "Is the navy a decoration?"

"I understand." Li Mi nodded immediately.

Wu Jin didn't care too much about this issue? If he really wanted to get to this point, he would be able to destroy himself and no one could save them.

"It is for the future to cut off slave trafficking. What should be done with those slaves who have entered my Tang Dynasty?" Wu Jin asked: "Compared to the future arrangements, these people are more difficult to deal with because the circle involved is too large."

Li Ze thought for a moment, "For those guys who have entered my Tang Dynasty, it is still the method I mentioned earlier. If you have a stable profession and pay the population tax for more than five years, you can get a loan from my Tang Dynasty household. Isn't Xiangxi Mining already ready to go to these places to recruit people? Let Xiangxi Mining use this as a selling point for their recruitment of people. As long as you work for five years, you can get a loan from the Tang Dynasty household, and then you can get all the powers that the people of the Tang Dynasty have, including the distribution to them, etc.."

"I believe these people will be happy to join the mining industry in Xiangxi. Even if it will be very hard or even in danger of life, compared to despair, this at least gives them a vision of a better life in the future. But what about your Majesty, what should you do with those slaves who have been sold and are now being used by many people? These people are the big problems that are difficult to solve, and the resistance they encounter must be the greatest." Wu Jin asked.

"The first step is to register and make a book first." Li Ze said coldly: "Since they have already spent money, it is hard to force them to release these people. Once these people are released, their lives will be left unresolved. In the end, it will be the government's affairs, which invisibly adds a lot of burden to the government. Let them go to the government to report and register. Then, from the date of being bought, they will sign a work peace agreement with these slaves and pay standards. Oh, forget it, this is not stipulated. The work peace agreement shall not exceed five years. After five years, these slaves will automatically obtain loans from the Tang Dynasty households to restore their freedom. Whether to sign a contract with the master's family will be signed by these people."

"Your Majesty, this order is ambiguous. I am afraid that under this administrative order, even slaves who have worked in the master's house for several years will start to calculate the date from the date of issuance of this order." Wu Jin said.

"Yes, since you discovered this loophole at a glance, of course they will also find that this is my concession for them, so I hope they can stop when they see it, and don't make me angry." Li Ze said. "I have already achieved this. If there are still people who are ungrateful, then it's not my fault that I turned against you at that time. No matter who he is, I will definitely pay the price for it."

"Your Majesty is rest assured. Who would make Your Majesty unhappy for a few slaves?" Wu Jin smiled and said, "We will be responsible for this matter, and supervise it!"

"Lu Lin, from now on, the Tang Dynasty Weekly will start to promote this matter on a large scale and long-term basis. First, we must emphasize the bill that the Tang people will never be slaves, and then extend it from this to point out the current situation of using slaves in the Tang Dynasty. You might as well emphasize the current miserable situation of these slaves. In this regard, you can ask Gao Xiangsheng for the situation, or imagine it yourself. In short, the more miserable the better! Finally, we will rise to the level of morality to criticize this matter. If you write these articles yourself, you must create strong public opinion among the people to condemn the use of slaves."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lu Lin, who was recording, was stunned for a moment, but he agreed immediately. Speaking of which, this is definitely a good job, which can give him a lot of people's expectations.

"This matter is basically like this. Lu Lin, go back and send the minutes of today's meeting to Xu Xiang, Zhang Gong, and also give Chunyu Yue and Jin Yuan a copy. The legislation in Chunyu Yue must speed up the follow-up, and Jin Yuan must make some preparations in terms of hygiene, and some work should be done earlier, the better."

"I understand your Majesty."

"That's it." Li Ze waved his hand, and Wu Jin, Li Mi, and Gao Xiangsheng stood up.

"Your Majesty, Huang Xi has specially transported a barrel of the beer you want to return to Chang'an. Yan Jiu has also tested it specifically. When will it be delivered to you?" While packing the file, Gao Xiangsheng asked Li Ze with a smile: "But what kind of beer you praised really makes me unable to drink it. What kind of thing?"

"Hehe, you don't understand the meaning. The wine is delivered in immediately. By the way, that little Balevi is actually the heir to a grand duke. You brought him to Chang'an and are unhappy again?" Li Ze smiled and stretched: "Lu Lin, go back and ask the kitchen to prepare a fried chicken for me, and I want to eat it with beer."

"Okay!"

"Your Majesty, from the comprehensive information of all aspects, the enemy of Little Pahlavi has now defeated several city-states in his hometown and is about to establish a unified country. I think Little Pahlavi is of great use to us, at least it can play a role in involving the other party. In the Europa, the bloodline is still very marketable. Anyway, it won't cost much money to support him. Maybe when this person can bring us unexpected gains."

"For me, the biggest gain now is the beer brewed by Barr. This industry may be cultivated. You can send this little Bahravi and Baer to the palace. I will meet them. Since you have this idea, I will help you. Regardless of whether this piece is useful or not, throw it on the board and raise it first."
