Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight
That night, the lights in the bedroom were on very late.
Zhao Gou systematically read the memorials of the ministers in the court and asked someone to send secret reports from the Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Department. It can be confirmed that the connection between the civil and military officials in this court is not high, that is to say, the majority of court officials have made their own opinions on the policy of "slave-keeping".
This result made Zhao Gou very painful!
He won't forget how much time he has left.
A few years later, I will be "controlling the Dragon Bin Tian". Although the power in the world will be controlled by several aspects, if everyone has the same mind, then wouldn't it be easy to abolish the prisoner-of-war camp and become a slave?
They don’t even need to make a big fuss to overthrow the “Last Emperor” program, which is so bad. And just need to find another way, there will be too many loopholes to be exploited!
There is a protective umbrella on its head, and there is a huge temptation of interests outside. Can't the edge balls and gray areas be used casually?
As long as Zhao Gou thinks this way, he feels that his ideas are not safe at all. Even if he uses his ancestors' will, there will be no use for him!
Just like Zhu Ming, what a great example.
Now this "cruel" reality forces him to consider the opinions of the ministers of the court and the opposition.
Zhao Gou saw his weakness clearly for the first time. He was really not a warrior who dared to "even if there are thousands of people, I will go." In the past, he made drastic reform methods in the late Ming Dynasty and the late Northern Song Dynasty, his sharp and ruthless cutting seemed to be risking the world's worst, and he was also facing the storm waves that were swept, but in fact he was pinching a snail with three fingers - he was sure to get it.
He had full confidence in his heart and was very sure, and then he became decisive.
But now, Zhao Gou is very confident.
Before, many of his actions had indeed greatly damaged the rights and interests of the original vested ones, but they also regained the interests in the hands of the latter and distributed them to the vested ones of the new generation. Whether in the late Ming Dynasty or at the moment, he had a fixed and constantly strong political foundation.
But in the decision of whether to acquire slavery or not, Zhao Gou found that his basic foundation was pitiful. More importantly, he could not provide any profit to cultivate, expand and consolidate his basic foundation. If all prisoners of war and the family involved were incorporated into the prisoner-of-war camp, the only benefit would be the country. But if he became a slave, Zhao Gou would definitely take out some of it to benefit the world.
Even if Zhao Gou's prestige between the world is absolutely unshakable, he will not be able to turn a blind eye to interests by the government and the people, and it will not be possible for all the people in the world to regard "suffering losses" as "taking advantage."
His small and pitiful basic base will have no room for expansion in the next four or five years, but will be more likely to shrink.
Because as the development of the Northwest, Northeast and South Oceans gradually deepens and increases, the labor gap will only become increasingly huge, and the interests and market of the word "slave" will also become increasingly huge. If his current supporters are not sure, they will transform into opposition.
Could it be that Zhao Gou still attacks all the civil and military officials of the court, or leave a means of check and balance?
The heirs are too young, and the checks and balances left by Zhao Gou will only serve to inherit the throne and establish the solid establishment of imperial power, and will never waste valuable resources on this point.
To be honest, in order to maintain the continuation of his will and to ensure the status of his heirs, he had to inadvertently win over some of his ministers under his command.
In the case, Zhao Gou felt that if he still insisted on his own opinion, it would be a bad idea. From the bottom of his heart, he did not think that starting a protracted war for this was a clever choice!
To put it bluntly, I retreated in the face of difficulties. I felt that I had little chance of winning, and I would have to spend too much energy...
...
Things completed the transition very easily.
A grand 'dividing party' was also opened in the government and the country.
Just as Zhao Gou thought, once so many people were characterized as slaves, they would inevitably have to divide a part of it to benefit the world.
Moreover, the ‘part’ of the separation does not refer to the indigenous peoples in Jiaozhou alone, but also to part of the authority in the entire ‘slave trade’.
In the Central Plains, who is rich in the world is not short of slaves?
The artificial in the Central Plains is really too expensive. Especially the large-scale development of Jinghu and Yanyun, the northwest and northeast greatly alleviated the population tightness in the Central Plains.
A large number of families with extremely poor land were moved to Jinghu or other places one after another.
Guanxi Sixth Road goes to the northwest, Hebei Two Roads and Qilu Two Roads go to the northeast, Central Plains and other roads see Jinghu, the newly opened Luzon and Jiaozhou and other places, as well as the official fields left by the tyrants and evil gentry who were eliminated from various places... Although the large-scale migration of population was a very slow process, the cicadas were awakened before the golden wind moved, and countless landlords and powerful people had already felt the arrival of the cold winter.
When many grass-roots grass-roots people have a second way of life, if you dare to set the conditions extremely harshly, you may not find enough tenants to cultivate the land.
The land can only be realized after it is used. If no one cultivates the land, a grain of grain cannot be produced. The government still collects land taxes and fees, and the landlords still lose money.
Of course, this scene has not affected the entire Song Dynasty. After all, there are too many poor people in the world, and many people are unwilling to move. But even if they are far from reaching the peak in this situation, it is also a touching touch to the gentry, powerful landlords who hold the land.
The most direct influence is that some landlord classes are already spontaneously transferring benefits to the people at the bottom. They have realized that some bad factor is approaching.
This will greatly alleviate the class contradictions within the Song Dynasty and make the entire dynasty healthier and more powerful!
Under such circumstances, it is also conceivable how much the rich people in the world need slaves.
Just like the poor who can use "immigrate to foreign land" to threaten landlords and men to collect less land rent, the landlords and men also urgently need slaves to suppress the arrogance of poor tenants. The master is not without anything to replace you!
"Officials, I think that such amounts should be fixed for people. There are many people in this world who are rich and unkind, who are unkind and disrespectful to the superiors." Although there are not many such people, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is too big. There are really people in the world who do not take charity and civil servants seriously. The court has no rigid punishment for such people, and can only rely on the soft means of local officials to suppress them.
Now Zhao Ding looked at the word "slave" and thought of a way in his mind.
This method is not just about punishing those roosters who are indifferent to the stingy, but also about making money for the court, so that everyone in the world can see the importance of charity and the value of civil servants.
Even the lowest level of civil servants, I can be "noble" than you, a pure civilian!
After all, you can know with your brain that slaves represent wealth!
The same landlord has the same value. One can use one hundred slaves, and the other can only use thirty slaves. Which one can earn more benefits? It goes without saying.
Slaves only invest a lot, and the average cost is very low.
Zhao Gou looked at Zhao Ding in front of him, and his heart was filled with surprise. "Good way, good way!"
He had been worried about the "focus on business" strategy before. Now with Zhao Ding's suggestion, the effect was not only a single charity or slave, but also a strong guarantee for the entire civil servant system, which made the "focus on business" strategy behind him have a powerful protection.
