Chapter 646: [Slave]
"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince and Chenghui! This is the account book I just sorted out. Please take a look at it!" She held a account book in her hand and handed it to Xiao Chen...
Xiao Chen nodded, took it, looked at it seriously, and after a while, he started discussing with his assistant.
Li Chengqian asked them to settle the score quietly here, waved his hand and walked out.
The last time I talked about Master Lu’s bicycle order, it has not been completed yet, so he went to take a look.
When he arrived at the entrance of Master Lu's workshop, two little disciples walked over and said in a low voice: "Have you heard that many generals from the Battle of Songzhou have returned and brought many prisoners of war back!"
"Yes, these prisoners of war really deserve to behead them!" said another little apprentice.
The person who started talking waved his hand: "How pitiful it was to kill, more than a thousand people, how good it was to let them farm for us!"
"Is it possible for those who can't farm themselves to rob us, and now they have to let them farm, can they?" The latter looked at the former suspiciously.
When the former heard this, he felt it made sense, so he nodded and said, "This is true. But our people are teaching them, so they can teach them all. If they are not easy to learn, they will behead them!"
The latter felt it made sense: "Yes, you still have to behead your head in the end!"
Listening to their beheadings, Li Chengqian smiled and entered the workshop gate. Suddenly, he remembered that so many prisoners of war could not farm, but he had the strength to pull them to his own coal mountain to dig coal?
He was about to find the two disciples, but Master Lu in the sect had already discovered Li Chengqian, so he hurried over and said, "Your Highness, I am polite!"
"Yeah!" "Li Chengqian waved his hand.
Master Lu invited Li Chengqian in.
"I'll ask you something!" Since both disciples know, Master Lu should know too!
Master Lu looked at Li Chengqian.
"I heard that the general from Songzhou has returned and brought prisoners of war?" Li Chengqian looked at him, "But this is the case."
"I really heard about this. Nearly two thousand prisoners of war were brought back!" Master Lu nodded in recognition.
Li Chengqian touched his chin, thinking that this matter should be managed by the Ministry of War. Then, you can find them clearly by going to find out about it.
"Well, then I'll leave!" Li Chengqian turned around, took two steps, turned around and said, "Have you not finished your bicycle yet?"
"Ah?" Master Lu was a little confused. The prince seemed to have overwhelmed the matter. Why do he feel that what he said when he was leaving in the end was the main business?
He replied: "Your Highness, Duke Jiang took these more than 100 bicycles in batches twice. The first batch of 50 vehicles have been prepared, but after finding Duke Jiang, he didn't come to pick them up, and the cars were filled with workshops. He could not do anything else, so he had to wait for Duke Jiang to pick them up before making the rest! I wonder if your Highness has any other instructions on this matter?"
It turned out that this was the case. Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Then you do as you plan, I'll leave first."
"Greatly send your honor to your Highness!" Master Lu's voice sounded behind him.
Li Chengqian was thinking about how to go to the Ministry of War to inquire about the situation, but at this time he met Lao Zeng who bought it from outside.
"Lao Zeng, come here." Li Chengqian waved.
Lao Zeng asked the eunuch to transport the car in, and he hurried over.
"You go to the Ministry of War to inquire about the prisoners of war in Songzhou that has recently entered the city, and who are in the hands of the prisoners of war. Is it possible if you want to bring the prisoners of war to the coal mountain? Go and ask, and then the water will expose the matter of our prisoners of war too quickly." Li Chengqian told him all the requests.
Lao Zeng nodded after hearing this, and then went to the Ministry of War.
It was noon that Lao Zeng came back and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, I've found out clearly."
Li Chengqian's interest suddenly became higher and he asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"These prisoners of war have been escorted to see His Majesty, but now they are divided equally by the winning generals and taken home to be slaves." Lao Zeng said.
"Slave?" Li Chengqian's face turned solemn.
Lao Zeng nodded.
Li Chengqian asked, "That slaves can be bought and sold?"
Lao Zeng nodded.
"We buy the slaves in the hands of these generals, so we can dig coal for us?"
Lao Zeng nodded again.
"Okay!" Li Chengqian patted his thigh and said, "Immediately, instruct someone to find the generals, buy all the slaves in their hands, and then send them to the coal mine!"
"Good!" Lao Zeng nodded and responded.
Seeing him go down, Li Chengqian also smiled.
I was just sleepy and someone gave him a pillow. This kind of thing is so good!
Nearly two thousand prisoners of war, and the elite soldiers and generals of Tubo, must be very good in health. It is a good coolie, so it is best to pull it to dig coal!
At night, Lao Zeng came back and told Li Chengqian the result: "Your Highness, you have found it, and the generals are willing to sell the prisoners of war to us!"
"Um!"
"I first found a general named Xi Junshuai. He was worried about how to deal with these prisoners of war. He wasted food at home. He was afraid of running away and not farming. He was going to sell it in the slave market. When he heard that we wanted it, he paid a lot more money than the slave traders in the slave market, so he agreed readily!" Lao Zeng said.
"And the general said that he would contact other generals and sell all their prisoners of war to us. Tomorrow, everyone will contact us!" Lao Zeng said happily.
After hearing this, Li Chengqian nodded.
Lao Zeng was so efficient that he pulled a general and notified other generals, so he could get all the generals' prisoners of war to be sent together.
"Okay, you've done a good job. You go to Chongren Palace tomorrow and ask Xiao Chen to open a note. He received the money and asked the people from the coal mine to buy these slaves!" Li Chengqian ordered.
"Here!" Lao Zeng replied.
The next day, the slave matter was successfully resolved, and Li Chengqian was very happy.
The slaves entered the Black Gold Mountain, and there were more than 500 armed soldiers from the Eastern Palace guarding them, not afraid of them running away. These heroes were good at doing these gravity jobs and were very efficient.
With these slaves, the output of coal mines increased, and the output of cement plants increased. Foreman Lu did not complain that there was no cement available, and everyone became happy together.
But when you are happy, there will always be unhappy things.
Something bad happened in the hospital.
On this day, Li Chengqian rarely listened to a class in Chongwen Hall when he heard about Yin Fei being poisoned.
Concubine Yin is one of the four concubines of Lao Li.
Concubine Yang is one of these four concubines.
The reason for the poisoning of this Yinfei was in the hospital.
