Chapter 1465: Things Are Inevitable and the Population Is Small
Song Jing and others showed regretful expressions. They thought Li Yi could arrange all the specific matters.
"Your Majesty, there are more Tiele tribes. I have found a way for Doctor Li to settle them and find land for them. Some people are willing to learn from Doctor Li to buy land and support the people."
Zhang Jiuling said another thing. More and more grassland ethnic groups all ran to the Tang Dynasty, saying that they surrendered.
Apparently, life was not easy last winter. There were channels to find out about the lives of the two groups of people who came before.
The first two groups brought huge wealth to Li Yi. They were centralized for management, farming, breeding, and handicrafts.
The number of acres.
Some people were tempted and wanted thousands of people, and then enclosed the land at a low price.
"No." Li Longji waved his chopsticks: "Brother Yi has written a letter. If the surrendered people are newly arrived, no one else is allowed to take over."
"Why?" The four prime ministers and several people in the group were very tacit.
"Exploitation. If the surrendered people are given to others, they will definitely exploit them as much as possible. At that time, the surrendered people will feel resentful and bury hidden dangers."
Li Longji used his own words to explain the content of the letter. Li Yi did not believe others.
Li Yi raised surrendered households for the Tang Dynasty, while others pursued profits.
Employees would deduct money, not to mention surrendered households whose status was almost the same as slaves.
"Brother Yi also said that it was not allowed to privately recruit refugees to sign contracts to sell their bodies." Li Longji added.
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Li Yi had a large group of people who sold their bodies, including slaves from the southwest barbarians, but he didn't allow others to have them.
"I'm afraid someone will impeach me." Song Jing found a reason, looking concerned about protecting Li Yi from being impeached.
"Who?" Li Longji glared, impeachment? Anyone who impeached Brother Yi must have bad intentions, don't let me know.
"I found that this hot pot is mainly about the base and dipping sauce, and mutton is nourishing." Lu Huaishen changed the subject.
"It's mainly the soup made from pork bones and chicken." Wei Zhigu helped.
Everyone stopped talking about impeachment, and Song Jing looked helpless. Could it be that Li Yi couldn't even impeach him?
There are people impeaching him, and they are looking for some trivial things to tell others that he, the prime minister, is still under control.
However, no one has indeed impeached Li Yi, and even in daily conversations, they deliberately avoid the topic of Li Yi.
Are the censors blind and can't see how powerful Li Yi is?
Impeach him to show your character, but you will not get the benefits of Li's manor after the impeachment.
Oh, your majesty's benefits will probably not be given anymore.
Li Longji did not talk about hot pot, and waited for everyone to eat a few bites. He said: "Nowadays, there is no shortage of jobs in the Tang Dynasty. All refugees can have jobs.
The government bought the slaves sold by the people of Chang'an, provided them with livelihoods, gave them a price, allowed them to redeem themselves, earn money to work, and remove slavery."
"I second the motion." Zhang Jiuling was the first to support it.
"I second the motion." Others were a step late.
Buy the slaves of the Tang Dynasty's own people, spend as much money as you can, the slaves earn money through work, and when they make up the number, they will be free.
Slaves from other places are still slaves, and they are ignored.
For example, Kunlun slaves and Silla maids.
The Tang Dynasty can't take care of them now. No, in fact, they are taken care of.
The slaves of the Tang Dynasty were bought by the government and placed in jobs, and the overall number of slaves in the human market decreased.
The price of the bought slaves was high, and the owners were reluctant to hurt them.
When there were many slaves, a slave who did manual labor was far less than the price of a cow.
If there were fewer, they would be more valuable than cows if they learned some skills.
In particular, cattle and horses will soon have to reproduce good offspring in large quantities, and advanced artificial technology will be adopted.
By the way, female donkeys and male horses can also be used, and more donkey mules will appear.
The horse mules bred by female horses and male donkeys are not good, which will delay the mare, and their lifespan is not as long as that of donkey mules, and their tempers are a bit bad.
...
"There are no horses where we are going. Consider taking them there later. The island is now a strategic location."
On the beach, Li Yi set up a parasol, wore swimming trunks, drank cold beer, and had saltwater seafood.
Although the temperature in Jingzhao Prefecture is not high, the Hawaiian Islands are hot.
Others were building houses, and the indigenous people were helping.
"There are too few people on a big island." Princess Yongmu also wore a one-piece swimsuit.
She originally thought that with so many big islands, the population would exceed 30,000.
The result, divided by 100, is more than 300 people, or 390 people to be exact.
The indigenous people occupied the largest island, the main island of Hawaii.
According to the information Li Yi checked, the word Hawaii is a general word, not referring to an island.
All the islands where this ethnic group arrived and lived are called Hawaii.
It is said that all the ethnic groups came from the same place, and they missed their hometown.
Like... Chinatown.
"It is easier to govern with fewer people, but if there are more people, for example, there are different ethnic groups on the surrounding islands, and they fight each other, it will be difficult for us to get along."
Li Yi considered it from another perspective. If there are more than 30,000 people, they may not cooperate with you.
"I'm tired of drinking coconut juice." Princess Yongmu didn't drink beer, she drank coconut juice, and she drank a lot along the way.
She also ate dishes made with coconut, including coconut bread.
"When we get to the destination, there are tomatoes. They are delicious. They can be fried with eggs, dipped in sugar, or boiled into soup. UU reading www.uukanshu.net "
Li Yi said greedily. He thought that tomatoes are delicious now.
The skin is not like plastic. When it is eaten, everything else is digested, but its skin still persists.
There are also kidney beans at the destination. It is not clear whether they are kidney beans or rice beans, or perhaps both varieties.
There is absolutely no King of Beans, which needs to be cultivated with cowpeas.
Princess Yongmu swallowed her saliva, she also wanted to eat something new.
She turned back and found that it was indeed easier to govern with fewer people.
After coming over, the indigenous people seemed very happy and provided them with coconuts.
After a simple communication, the indigenous people were very active when they heard that they would help them build houses.
It was past dinner time, the indigenous people ate a few bites of coconut meat, drank some coconut juice, and continued to work, fearing that the house could not be built.
"What to eat tonight? It's hot." Princess Yongmu turned around and found that she had no appetite.
"Salt beans, sorghum rice water rice." Li Yi had something to eat.
"When we have potatoes, we will make potatoes with eggplant, put egg sauce, and eat sorghum rice with water." Li Yi added, rubbing his stomach.
"We will go directly this time, right?" Princess Yongmu couldn't wait.
"Almost, when we get there, the temperature there is also high, the latitude is relatively low, and we can eat cactus." Li Yi closed his eyes and the map appeared.
Let's go to Mexico first. The crops we need there are the most. Gold and other things are not important.
The only pity is that the cactus in Mexico is not suitable for large-scale planting in the Tang Dynasty. Oh, and the banana in Africa.
'Oh~~Oh~~' There was another cheering behind me, indicating that a house was built.
The natives liked the new house, which was bigger than the one they built themselves, and the layout was also good.
