- "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince and Cheng Hui! This is the account book that I have just compiled. Please take a look at it from Cheng Hui!" She held an account book in her hand and handed it to Xiao Chen. .
Xiao Chen hummed, took it, and looked at it seriously. After a while, he started discussing it with his assistant.
Li Chengqian asked them to settle accounts quietly here, then he waved his hand and walked out.
The last time we talked about Master Lu¡¯s bicycle order, it hadn¡¯t been completed yet, so he went to take a look.
When we arrived at the entrance of Master Lu's workshop, two young apprentices walked over and whispered, "Have you heard that many generals from the Battle of Songzhou have returned, bringing many prisoners of war with them!"
¡°Yes, these prisoners of war should really be beheaded!¡± said another young apprentice.
The person who started to speak waved his hand: "It's pitiful to kill them. There are thousands of people. It would be great to let them farm for us!"
¡°Can we let those who don¡¯t know how to farm come to rob us now?¡± The latter looked at the former suspiciously.
After hearing this, the former thought it made sense, nodded, and said, "That's true. But our people are teaching them, and the teachings will be generalized. If they don't learn well, they will be dragged out and beheaded!"
The latter thought it made sense: "Yes, I still have to behead him in the end!"
Listening to their beheading argument, Li Chengqian smiled and entered the workshop. He suddenly remembered that there were so many prisoners of war who didn't know how to farm but had strength. Wouldn't it be just right to drag them to his own coal mountain to dig coal? ?
He was about to go find the two apprentices. At this time, Master Lu inside the door had already noticed Li Chengqian. He quickly came over and said, "Your Highness, I am polite!"
"Yeah!" Li Chengqian waved his hand.
Master Lu invited Li Chengqian in.
"Let me ask you something!" Since both apprentices know it, Master Lu should also know it!
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, "Is this possible?"
"I did hear about this. Nearly two thousand prisoners of war were brought back!" Master Lu nodded in approval.
Li Chengqian touched his chin, thinking that people from the Ministry of War should be in charge of this matter. Then he could find out more about it by going to them.
"Well, then I'm leaving!" Li Chengqian turned around, took two steps, then turned back and said, "Have you not finished your bicycle yet?"
"Huh?" Master Lu was a little confused. The prince seemed to have overstated the matter. Why did he feel that what he said when he was about to leave at the end was the serious matter?
He responded: "Your Highness, Mr. Jiang Guogong came to pick up these more than one hundred bicycles in two batches. The fifty bikes in the first batch had been prepared, but when I asked Mr. Jiang Guo, he did not come to pick them up. The workshop is full, so we can¡¯t make anything else, so we have to wait for Duke Jiang to come and get it before making the rest! I wonder if His Highness has any other instructions on this matter?¡±
It turned out that this was the case. Li Chengqian nodded and said, "Then you follow your plan. I'll leave first."
"Best regards, Your Highness!" Master Lu's voice sounded from behind.
Li Chengqian was thinking about how to go to the Ministry of War to inquire about the situation, when he met Lao Zeng who had returned from purchasing from outside.
"Old Zeng, come here." Li Chengqian waved.
Old Zeng asked the eunuch to carry the car in, and he ran over quickly.
"Go to the Ministry of War and ask about the prisoners of war who entered the city recently in the Battle of Songzhou, and who is holding the prisoners of war. If you want to get the prisoners of war to Meishan, is it possible? Go and ask. Ask, and then the water will reveal that we want prisoners of war too quickly." Li Chengqian told him all the requirements.
Lao Zeng nodded after hearing this, and then went to the Ministry of War.
At noon, Lao Zeng came back and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, please find out clearly."
Li Chengqian¡¯s interest suddenly became high and he asked: ¡°Tell me, what is it like?¡±
"These prisoners of war have been taken to see His Majesty, and now they are divided equally among the victorious generals and taken home to be used as slaves." Lao Zeng said.
"Slave?" Li Chengqian's face turned solemn.
Old Zeng nodded.
Li Chengqian asked: "Can slaves be bought and sold?"
Old Zeng nodded.
"If we buy the slaves from these generals, then they can dig coal for us?"
Old Zeng nodded again.
"Okay!" Li Chengqian patted his thigh and said, "Immediately order someone to find those generals and get the slaves in their hands.Buy them all and send them to the coal mine! "
"Great!" Lao Zeng nodded.
Watching him go down, Li Chengqian also smiled.
When he was dozing off, someone brought him a pillow. This kind of thing is so refreshing!
There are nearly two thousand prisoners of war, and they are the elite soldiers and generals of Tubo. They must be in very good health. They are just good coolies. The best thing is to get them to dig coal!
At night, Lao Zeng came back and told Li Chengqian the result: "Your Highness, we have found it, and the generals are willing to sell prisoners of war to us!"
"Um!"
"I first found a general named Xi Junmai. He was worried about what to do with these prisoners of war. They were keeping them at home and wasting food. They were afraid of running away if they were kept outside. He didn't know how to farm. He was originally going to sell them in the slave market. When he heard that we wanted it and the money we offered was much more than the slave traders in the slave market, he readily agreed!" Lao Zeng said.
"And this general said that he will contact other generals and sell their prisoners of war to us. Everyone will be contacted by us tomorrow!" Lao Zeng said happily.
Li Chengqian nodded after hearing this.
Lao Zeng is very efficient. He recruits a general and then notifies the other generals, so that all the generals¡¯ prisoners of war can be sent together.
"Okay, you did a good job. You go to Chongren Hall tomorrow and ask Xiao Chen to write a note and get the money to let the people in the coal mine buy these slaves!" Li Chengqian ordered.
"Here!" Lao Zeng responded.
The next day, the slave matter was settled smoothly, and Li Chengqian was very happy.
The slaves entered Black Gold Mountain, and there were more than 500 armed soldiers from the East Palace guarding the outside. They were not afraid of them escaping. This group of strong men did a good job in doing these gravity tasks, and they were very efficient.
With this group of slaves, the output of the coal mine has increased, and the output of the cement factory has also increased. Foreman Lu did not complain that there was no cement available, and everyone rejoiced together.
But when you are happy, there will always be unhappy things.
Something bad happened in the hospital.
On this day, Li Chengqian listened to a rare class in Chongwen Hall and heard about the poisoning of Concubine Yin.
Concubine Yin is one of Lao Li¡¯s four concubines.
"Of these four concubines, Concubine Yang is one of them.
And the reason why Concubine Yin was poisoned was in the hospital.
