PS: There is another chapter later.

After orders were issued one by one, Xiao Ming gave all the affairs of the fiefdom, and he would not have trouble at that time.

He also asked Pang Yukun to write down all his words, and he would punish anyone who did not complete the task.

Finally he said, "Don't think you'll have peace of mind after getting a title. If you don't want to make progress from now on and waste this title given to you by the king, I can still take them back."

As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the officials and generals suddenly became solemn. They did not want to lose this honor.

I secretly vowed to work harder in the future.

The meeting lasted until the evening, and Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The work was finally completed and he could go to Chang'an with peace of mind.

Of course, there are still some people who have no tribute at this meeting. It is not that they do not have titles, but that these people are not in Qingzhou now.

For example, Liang Dahai, the slave trader, Qian Dafu, the mine owner, and Yue Yun, who is now in the shipbuilding workshop in Dengzhou.

While he was watching the construction of the Galen ship, he also recruited cadets in Dengzhou to increase the number of naval personnel.

After a while, Xiao Ming went straight back to the palace, and he felt relaxed when he continued to explain the government affairs.

After Xiao Ming left, Pang Yukun, Niu Ben and others also arrived outside the Governor's Office.

At this time, everyone was immediately intoxicated by their titles and honors.

Lu Fei was the first to say proudly: "Oh, two thousand taels of silver and six hundred acres of Yongye Field, what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xin said disdainfully: "What should I do? This is not easy to deal with. Isn't it enough to buy a few slaves to cultivate it? My Yongye Field is much larger than this."

"Your family belongs to your father, General Luo. What does it have to do with you? You are just like me." Lu Fei looked unhappy.

Niu Ben sighed: "Hey, I don't know how to use this ten thousand taels of silver. Your Highness is so generous."

Lu Fei was immediately beaten down. He said with a smile: "Governor, if you don't know how to spend it, I can help you spend it. Liang Dahai and I are familiar with you. When he comes back, he will buy you some slaves and help you see a slave plantation. In the future, I will not have to worry about food and drink."

Now the people who received the reward are now holding Lu Fei's idea.

They already had land in their family, and at this time they had so much more land and had silver in their hands, they all wanted to buy slaves to cultivate this Yongye land.

Pang Yukun shook his head when he heard this, but there was no way, he was also facing this problem now.

He said, "Aren't we the one who can achieve success as your ministers in the future with His Highness? Since His Highness has already rewarded us, there is no need to hide it. I think Lu Fei said it well. It's good to buy a few slaves and farm. Food is the most important thing for the people."

"But the slaves Liang Dahai bought are all His Highness, where do we buy slaves?" Li Kaiyuan knew very well about Liang Dahai's business and poured a basin of cold water on everyone.

Lu Fei said: "Is there no one except Liang Dahai selling slaves?"

"Yes, but very few." Pang Yukun frowned, "Qingzhou is now lacking in population. Your Highness is worried about this matter, so he will naturally not be willing to give his slaves to us. But Li Kaiyuan, are your merchants not engaged in the slave trade?"

Li Kaiyuan recalled and said, "There is this one, but they are very small, and they are there today and tomorrow. The most important thing is that our highness has not yet agreed to these merchants for slave sales."

"Your Highness, you killed someone, may have forgotten it. You won't ask, you will leave it to you. If I can't buy a slave, I will look for you Li Kaiyuan." Lu Fei looked scoundrel.

He was used to playing with Li Kaiyuan.

"Captain Lu, you are too shameless." After saying this, Li Kaiyuan suddenly realized that everyone was looking at him with great enthusiasm.

After pondering for a while, he said depressedly: "Okay, okay, I'll ask Your Highness now to see if other merchants can be allowed to sell slaves in Qingzhou."

After saying that, Li Kaiyuan left to the Qi Palace.

When Pang Yukun and others saw it, they immediately laughed. He said to Niu Ben: "In my opinion, Your Highness attaches great importance to this slave plantation, and the potatoes and peppers will have great prospects in the future. If you listen to me, it is better to plant these things. It is better to make money than growing food."

Niu Ben looked indifferent. He saw through the ups and downs of his life, hoping to preserve his reputation in his later years. He said: "We plant whatever Pang Changshi planted. We still believe in Pang Changshi's vision."

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

After all, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun have been around the clock recently, and Pang Yukun knows Xiao Ming’s ideas very well.

After chatting in the Governor's Office for a while, everyone went home. They couldn't wait to tell their families about the good news.

At this time, Li Kaiyuan had already arrived at the Qi Palace. He gritted his teeth and walked in.

"Li Kaiyuan, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with the rewards you have given?" Xiao Ming was a little surprised when he learned that Li Kaiyuan was coming.

"Your Highness, this is not true. How dare the lower officials question His Highness's reward? Speaking of which, the lower officials were forced by Pang Changshi and others. They insisted that the lower officials come and ask if His Highness could open up the civil slave trade, so that they could buy slaves and go back to farm."

"Folk slave trade." Xiao Ming suddenly woke up.

Since he asked Liang Dahai to sell slaves, the slave trade in Qingzhou was almost monopolized, but now this situation obviously needs to be changed.

After all, in addition to Qingzhou, he also has vast land in Youzhou. Now these lands require a large amount of labor, and with his own ability, he obviously cannot be monopolized. Therefore, he can only mobilize more people to purchase land to build plantations, which can accelerate the development of Qingzhou's economy.

After all, there are many people and great power, so he needs to be a leader, not a person who restrains overall development for his own interests.

So he said: "They said it right, let's take this opportunity to let go of the slave trade, encourage merchants in the chamber of commerce to engage in the slave trade, and allow them to open a slave trade market in Qingzhou."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lee Kaiyuan was very excited.

Xiao Ming nodded. Now the vigorous slave trade in the West is in progress, and he cannot fall behind.

Perhaps from the modern perspective, this trade has no human rights, but one fact is that it is in an era without human rights, so there is no need to talk about human rights and be the Virgin.

After all, the issue of national fortune and wealth accumulation is somewhat insignificant.
