Suppressing the depression and discomfort in his heart, Bo Jinchen Gujing Bubo's face had no expression on: "What are those miners? Slaves or free people?"

Yu Yongzhi showed a hint of uneasiness on his face, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "It's a slave, but the miners don't treat slaves as humans. They ask the miners to stay in the mine for twelve hours a day, and they eat everything they don't eat. We are all from poor families and know the difficulties of life, but life like them is indeed not something that humans live."

Bo Jinchen's vision became a little sharp, "Didn't the Holy Kingdom use instruction? Regarding the issue of slave identity, we should try our best to redeem for their freedom, rather than interfere with administrative means. Have you forgotten Yongzhi?"

"Prince, redemption? Where can we get the money to redeem? You also know our situation in Jinzhong. The nobles and gentry were arrogant and didn't worry about what we dared to do to them. They basically didn't escape. The money we obtained was pitifully small and was not enough to use. Seeing those escaped miners running into our army to cry and tell the inhuman treatment they received, the brothers could not bear it and demanded that the miners be taken down and made public. I used military orders to suppress them, but we could not sit idly by. Which of the miners did not have billions of dollars in their family? They would not care about the redemption price you proposed, and we did not have any extra funds to spend on it!"

Yu Yongzhi made a reassurance, but in fact, he obtained a lot of funds in Jinzhong, especially the wealth that many nobles who were friends with the upper nobles of the empire and the large number of coal mines brought a lot of generous returns to the Taiping Army. Just taking back these coal mines and auctioned them has already made the middle and high-level generals in the Taiping Army have made a lot of money, but it is just put on the skin and owned by the Taiping Army, which seems a bit meager. If this cleaning storm can be expanded infinitely, the benefits that both the Taiping Army and the benefits they obtained from it will increase in a geometric multiple. This is the conclusion that Yu Yongzhi came to discuss with his several confidants. When he took the heavy silver notes from the mine owners who had a good relationship with the Taiping Army under the auction mine, Yu Yongzhi could no longer maintain a calm heart.

Bo Jinchen did not expect any of the dirty thoughts in Yu Yongzhi's mind. He was still considering how to deal with the problems raised by the other party. The methods of mine owners to enslave slaves must be very cruel. Treating slaves as cattle and horses has always been the inherent view of those slave owners. If they want to abolish them all at once, in Bo Jinchen's view, there are still many unsolvable difficulties. In areas like Jinzhong, mines mainly use slave labor, and not many free people are engaged in this work. Once the abolition measures are forcibly implemented, it is afraid that chaos will be caused immediately.

Chen's original idea was to increase the tax on mines, increase the tax rate, and then redeem the mine owners by obtaining funds. Of course, the price is definitely much cheaper than the market price, which may reduce resistance in this way, but from the current perspective, it seems that this idea is difficult to be recognized by the people below. With great power, it is possible to use forceful means to give slaves the free civil identity, which probably represents the voice of many people led by Yu Yongzhi. From the current subtle atmosphere, the Holy King seems to be inclined to this attitude.

What Bo Jinchen was most worried about was not the abolition of slavery in Jinzhong. After all, although the Jinzhong mine owners have a large power, they are limited to one government and the number is limited. With the force of the Taiping Army, even if the mine owners strongly opposed it and even caused some chaos and trouble, Bo Jinchen still believed that they could be pacified successfully. What he was worried about was that once this wind blows, it would probably no one could control it anymore. Moreover, this wind will surely blow bigger and bigger and will affect other areas. In addition to abolishing the identity of slaves, the calls for further confiscation of merchants, landlords and all noble gentry assets to be reclaimed or distributed to the poor will rise further, and it is very likely to be implemented. At that time, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the entire control area, which Bo Jinchen would never want to see.

"What do you mean by Yongzhi?" Bo Jinchen finally asked the core question after touching his forehead and rubbing his cheeks sleepily.

"Uh, this, that's why I came to ask for advice from the poor minister." Although Yu Yongzhi was arrogant, he knew that the wisdom of the man in front of him could never be underestimated. Even though he had received the tacit approval of the Holy King, if he did not get true faith from the person in front of him, he would not dare to act rashly.

"Hmph, Yongzhi, are you still sloppy in front of me? This should have been a civil affairs matter, but why are you so active?" Bo Jinchen's tone changed and he became a little cold.

"Well, Bo Xiang is not because Yongzhi has exceeded his power. In fact, Yongzhi's 300,000 people need life and supplementary weapons, so he has to come to the capital to ask for help from the Holy King and Bo Xiang. I also want to understand this problem." Yu Yongzhi seemed increasingly humble and respectful at this time, but in Bo Jinchen's eyes, he was very cold. He actually knew the purpose of Yu Yongzhi's arrival. He was not in charge of civil affairs at first, but because of his prestige and his views and opinions, he had completely opposed the views of the Holy King, so the Holy King came up with such a way to solicit his own opinions on the surface, but in fact everything had already been decided.

"Oh, I'm not in charge of civil affairs, you should ask for instructions on this issue. As long as you decide, you don't need to tell me again." Bo Jinchen lay down his body in the chair and curled up slightly, "Go, Yongzhi, it's just that the methods and methods need to be paid attention to. Those mine owners who are less kind and very angry are naturally not to say much, but the gentry with high reputations must not move around."

Knowing that everything was inevitable, Bo Jinchen couldn't help but say a few more words, hoping to do his best, although he also knew that these words were actually hard to hear in the ears of the person in front of him.

There was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Yu Yongzhi still saluted respectfully on the surface: "Bo Xiang, then Yongzhi will go. After Yongzhi submitted a message, he will return to Heshuo. He will come back to the capital next time he returns to the capital to pay tribute to Bo Xiang."

He waved his hand silently. At this time, Bo Jinchen had no mood anymore. Until Yu Yongzhi's figure disappeared, Bo Jinchen's eyes were still dumbfounded at the beam of the room, and it was useless to persuade the Holy King. Once upon a time, this old friend was not even willing to see his own face. This is what is called "time changes, identity changes, mentality changes, and what he plans change, but how long can all the superficial glory last?

Bo Jinchen seemed to have seen the broken walls behind carved beams and painted pillars.

A week of visits have opened his eyes, from the iron smelting blast furnaces in Yinchuan and Qingyang to the ceramic kilns in Bonan, from the winemaking workshops and salt wells in Guide to the medicinal materials workshops and wood processing workshops in Jinzhou, from the wool textile center in Qingyang to the sugar making workshops in Taixuan. Although it was a blink of an eye, Moncati and his party were still impressed by the vibrant and vibrant Northwest economy. It was like a machine that was running at full power was running rapidly with an unstoppable momentum. The economic situation in the entire northwest is not only no less than the small principalities of the Hansen Alliance countries, but even better. The good social security and business environment, the initial scale of education mechanisms and health institutions have opened their eyes, and it seems that the legendary civilization level of the East Continent is no less than that of the Western Continent civilization.

However, Viscount Montcati's request to visit the Northwest Army was rejected. However, Plovland and Miss Deleis were accused of being a fiancee as a classmate of the Jiedushi, who was fortunate to see the iron cavalry exercises from Mott. The skillful horse skills and unparalleled momentum of the charge in the battle made Plovland amazed. The Miss Deleis was even more focused on taking advantage of the rare opportunity to observe and ask questions in the Northwest military camp from all aspects. Many questions were unknowingly exposed the side that was inconsistent with her identity. She did not even notice it. After the visit, the security department's people quickly reported this situation to Wufeng's ears. However, the Jiedushi waved his hand generously and asked the security department's people not to deliberately restrict the other party, but just pay attention to surveillance, which puzzled the security department's personnel.

After obtaining all the information from his niece, Viscount Moncati's anxiety became even worse. If he really wanted to destroy the current Luo Bei people with the strength of the northwest, it was not impossible from the moment. Especially in the west, Luo Bei people were attacked by the Chi Di people. If the people in the northwest really made up their minds to punish Luo Bei people, there was no need to be punished. Even if they were dragged down in this situation, it would be enough to drag down Luo Bei people. Once Luo Bei people collapsed, the voice of the Chi Di people would be loud, and the end of the Hansen Alliance was about to come. The greedy and cruel Chi Di people brought to the Hansen Alliance was not just as simple as burning, killing, and looting. They would even have the idea of ​​conquering people in these places, and making civilized people like themselves become exploited machines and livestock in their simple minds.
