Bianjing Imperial Palace.

Zong Ze, who had decided to beg for bones next year, stood in the hall. Looking at Zhao Gou, who was sitting high above, his face was as calm as water, and he shut up and said nothing.

He didn't understand why the emperor was so persistent and did not accumulate slavery?

Zong Ze, who could not see the "later generation", could not understand the worry in Zhao Gou's heart.

In the eyes of the latter, the representative of the slave country is the great lighthouse country in later generations. The internal racial conflicts are very sharp, which means that the unique powerful strength and prosperity cover up everything. But which country can have the confidence to always stay at the peak of mankind?

Look at China.

Aren’t every unified dynasty’s peak moment a world power?

But there are ups and downs.

In Zhao Gou's eyes, the sharp racial conflicts are always a bad factor that threatens the stability of the country's foundation. The scene he hopes to see, the empire he imagines, should be a country that includes all externalized peoples and is a unified single-nation country.

Everyone is Han, nothing is that.

But now, a group of people represented by Chen Go in Lingnan, together with many ministers in the court, agreed to acquire slaves.

From reality, their reasons are very sufficient. Whether it is to solve the problem of prisoners of war in the Li Dynasty, or to address the development of the South Ocean and the reclamation of the northwest and northeastern places, they have put forward countless reasons to support the "slave storage"!

Now, the only stumbling block to this matter is Zhao Gou.

Zong Ze also guessed in his heart that the emperor did not need to be slaves, and this was definitely not his kindness. But the problem was that if you don’t ask people to be slaves, then how are you going to deal with the natives of the Li Dynasty?

Have you killed them all?

An impossible thing.

And want to completely digest a huge group of people who are millions of units...

It is really hard for Zong Ze and others to imagine how long it will take.

Tolerance of foreign ethnic groups in Chinese history is not without them. Isn’t Li Tang, who was the most obvious before Zhao Song, the Li Tang? But what’s the result?

Even though there were famous foreign generals in the history of Li Tang, they were loyal to the Tang Dynasty and had a loyal heart, this could not conceal the fact that An Lushan was a Hu.

It’s not that no one in the court knows what Zhao Gou is thinking, but no one thinks this matter is reliable!

"Of course, we can't kill them all. But the first one will eliminate them, and the rest will commit many murderous crimes, which will harm the heavenly harmony."

This is not Zhao Gou's kindness, but the interests. He put hundreds of thousands of people into labor camps, which seemed to be a big burden on the court, but in fact it was a huge benefit.

Is there a lot of people in the reclaiming of wastelands, the construction of city ports, the maintenance of roads, and the maintenance of river channels, canals and embankments?

How much financial expenses can Zhao Song save after all these manpower is used?

In the battle outside Shenglong City, the 4,000 Song army naval and army guarding the city relied on repeated attacks and cross-cooperation of water and land, and defeated the 100,000 local soldiers outside the city. When Chen Gou led his army from the north and Xu Huiyan led his troops to fight south, the "many and powerful" local army was instantly destroyed. Li Yanghuan, who had just emerged from the dense forests of the northwest of Tonkin, immediately retracted back into the mountains and the rainforest.

Although this battle failed to capture all the opposition forces in one go, it also severely damaged these people. The local snakes who escaped by chance from the battlefield were even more at peace when they were chased by the fierce Jinyiwei in the following days.

Just when the arrested fish were chased and had no way to go to the ground, many captured prisoners of war had begun to be organized to do some work within their ability after a period of cultivation.

Not to mention anything else, the construction of several ports and logging and weeding can absorb a large amount of manpower. There is also the development and mining of a certain coal mine. Although the value of this thing cannot be compared with the industrial revolution after the outbreak of the industrial revolution, there are no large and excellent coal mines in South China.

Taking Guangdong and Guangxi as an example, there are naturally small or medium-sized coal mines, but there are not one of them, which are large and shallow in burial, easy to mine, and have super high quality coal mines.

In addition, the coal mine is very close to the coastline and is convenient for transportation. It will definitely be a super treasure pot in Jiaozhou in the future.

In this way, a large number of prisoners of war were diverted there. Those people worked at construction sites during the day, and at night they had to go to night school and were taught language classes mainly in common languages. In addition, they also had common sense of hygiene and discipline, just like the Song Jun had to read "Precautions for Life in South China" and government laws.

Such a collective life may accompany them for a long time until the ships that came to pick them up to the Central Plains arrived. And so many prisoners of war were also a huge burden for the current Jiaozhou Yan.

At that time, it will definitely be the priority for good physical condition, followed by good language and other aspects of learning. The teachers who taught them also kept recommending them how vast the land in the Central Plains was and how superior living conditions were. As long as they received re-education in detail, once they became citizens of the Song Dynasty, they would enjoy themselves. This was to use the conditions of treating prisoners of war camps + labor reform teams to educate these people.

But if these people were beaten into slavery, haha, they would never be able to become Chinese in their lives.

Zhao Gou knew very well that it was not that the government and the opposition were opposing him now, but that two different beliefs were confronting each other.

Although China has said that "educating barbarians" since ancient times, at least these officials of the Song Dynasty obviously did not have the patience, or in the face of huge interests and countless benefits that are within their reach, the four words "educating barbarians" and one of the oral slogans of Confucianism, "educating barbarians", have really become slogans that remain on their lips.

He now has two choices, one is to stick to his own opinions and the other is to follow the good.

The former is feasible. With Zhao Gou's current prestige, this matter can definitely be suppressed. After all, slaves are very human.

And the latter is even better.

That was like revealing a big treasure to everyone.

Think about it, if slaves are legal, how could slaves only appear in Jiaozhou?

If you don’t talk about it too far, just Nanyang. As long as the magic box with the word “slave” is opened, you don’t know how many sins can be released.

The tricks that the white skins used to the Black and Shu Li people in Africa can be easily copied from the monkeys in the South China Sea... Well, this seems a bit unsuitable to say this.

However, is this awesome trick to tease the fight between the native monkeys and use money, armor and materials to exchange slaves from the former, thus causing the monkeys to kill each other?

Think about the tricks of the Han Dynasty and the Sui and Tang Dynasties when they dealt with the northern young people, and they would fight against each other. If their strength allowed, the ancestors should not play too smoothly.
