Compared with the benefits brought by the slaves, there is an additional cost. As long as this cost is within a controllable range, Li Chao believes that these people will still be willing to accept it in the end. (?(?(?(?(?(?(?(?(?(?(?())

Besides, Li Chao didn't plan to be too ruthless as soon as he came.

"The court can give these slave owners some compensation, for example, every slave who has entered good fortune will give their original owner a compensation."

Li Shimin was displeased when he heard this. After these slaves became good, the court had to share land and give them land. Now he had to compensate their original owners? Why?

Although I am an emperor, I am also a poor emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep, so don't worry."

"Let me tell me." Li Shimin stopped calling.

"It's like this. After the slaves saved enough money to redeem themselves, they paid money to the slave owner to redeem their free self under the witness of the government, and then registered as a good citizen. After this procedure is completed, the government will give the slave owner a compensation."

Li Shimin opened his mouth and finally held back. He wanted to hear how Li Chao would turn down.

"Don't worry, your Majesty, although this compensation was paid by the government, it was at most an advance payment. In the end, the money would be paid by the slaves themselves."

The prince couldn't help it.

"Where are the money for slaves?"

"Slaves are really not rich, so the court has to place these slaves. Or they send them to mine workshops in various places to earn wages. The wages they earn must be paid a portion of the money they earn every month to the court, and the money they paid is to be used as compensation for advance payments."

"But why do you have to let the slaves pay this compensation? They have already paid the redemption money?"

Li Chao sighed.

This matter seems unfair to slaves, but there is absolutely fair thing in the world. If slave owners want to pay the slaves a minimum wage, they have to accept the slaves' money and redeem them. They will definitely lose money. Giving the slave owner a compensation can be considered as comforting them. It is not possible to rely solely on the court to suppress them.

But this compensation cannot be made available to the court.

Then, in the end, it was natural to transfer it to the slave.

But the slaves have no money.

So the court paid in advance first, and then slowly collected it in installments later.

"After the slaves redeem themselves, they can freely choose whether to go to the workshop, the mine or the border farm to reclaim wasteland. The court can also borrow a settlement fee to give them first so that they can settle down after they come out."

Li Chao still hoped that these free slaves would go to the border to reclaim wasteland and live in the border areas, and first work in the collective farm established by the court, which was considered employees and paid wages. However, they had to deduct the settlement fees of the court and the compensation for the slave owners. After all, at this time, these slaves from the past also adapted to their new life.

From then on, they became self-cultivated farmers in the border areas of the court, farming and feeding food, and even serving Yao service for the court, and the court added a little more strength.

"Will the slaves?" Cheng Qian asked.

"Will the slaves not want to?" Li Chao asked.

Although it seems that they are at a disadvantage, they have to bear a debt if they get freedom. They don’t have much freedom and have to immigrate to the real border.

But no matter what, compared to being a slave in the past, Li Chao believed that they would definitely be more willing to accept this new life. Even if they were born with debts when they came out, they would be able to pay it back after working in the court workshops, mines, and farms for a few years.

For the rest of their lives, they became a true free people, and the fields distributed to them by the court?

They not only became free people, but also became self-cultivated farmers in industrial fields. They could marry good women, have children, be a soldier in the palace, and even participate in the imperial examination to enter the official career.

For a slave, such a life is simply a dream, and it is too late to be happy.

And for the court, it is not bad.

As more people reclaim wasteland and farming on the border, they will be stable. At the same time, more people pay taxes and grain, and the national treasury will be more fulfilling.

Even if the compensation paid in advance and the settlement fee borrowed, the final result will be recovered with the principal and interest.

Even earn some interest.

The only thing that may be unhappy is the slave owners.

"Just a ransom and a compensation alone may not appease them."

"Then give them some benefits, such as exempting import tariffs for those who purchase slaves from abroad, and giving them a subsidy for slave imports, how about it?"

Li Shimin's eyes flipped, "Will this subsidy be counted on the slaves in the future?"

"If His Majesty is willing to pay for them, that's the same."

"That's better to count them. Freedom is not without a price." Li Shimin said. Li Chao nodded. The emperor's words are very reasonable. Freedom is precious if you fight for it yourself.

Neither Li Shimin nor Li Chao would give these slaves freedom for no reason, and they would have to pay a price.

Li Shimin admitted that Li Chao had a unique charm, and he was the reason to convince others.

He has now been convinced by Li Chao that this slave freedom law is indeed beneficial to the court, and he can even gain the reputation of kindness.

Even slaves can give freedom, so giving the untouchables a chance to spend money to improve their ancestry is nothing.

As long as you have money, no matter whether you are a prostitute, a prostitute, a businessman, or a merchant, you can become a good person.

"After becoming a good person, you cannot participate in the military service or participate in the imperial examinations. You cannot be an official, but your descendants will no longer be restricted." After thinking about it, Li Shimin still added a restriction.

In ancient times, people who entered the lowly family were mostly hereditary. The earliest ones were often criminals. No matter what serious crime they committed, it was not easy to impose their families into lowly family. Entering lowly family and following lowly family was originally unchanged from generation to generation.

Now Li Chao convinced him that the unchanging restrictions on low-class and low-class careers are not beneficial to the court. Since that is the case, why should we still insist on changing? Give these people a chance to change, and the court can also collect some money at the same time.

The general direction has been decided.

As for the minimum wage standard for slaves, the amount of redemption fee, the compensation fee, the amount of subsidy for slave imports, the amount of slave settlement fees, the amount of untouchables’ household registration fee, etc., these are all details.

The specifics are left to discuss below. Li Chao, the emperor, the prince and the other two sit here and negotiate everything in detail.

"Wen Yuan, you can see that there is no way to help the court and increase its financial income?"

Li Shimin still missed this matter.

"Your Majesty, it's not that there is no way, it's just not necessarily a good idea."
