In August, there was already a little solemn on both sides of the Bian River. The leaves of the willow trees on the shore gradually turned yellow and then fell, making people feel a little sad.

The boats on the river are slightly more popular than in spring, but compared with the autumn in previous years, it still seems to be depressed and cold. The depression caused by the money crisis continues, and the migration of a large number of children from Kaifeng royal family has exacerbated the depression.

In the past few months, at least 30% of the shops and vendors in Kaifeng Prefecture City have been lost! With the wave of bankruptcy, the unemployment problem in Kaifeng Prefecture has also become very serious, and the city is full of poor people with no food and clothing. At the same time, the city's quality warehouses, pawn shops, usury and population transactions have all ushered in a period of prosperity that has not been seen for many years.

In the years when money was flooding, interest rates were suppressed very low, and because currency has been slowly expanding, debts owed by civilians are relatively easy to repay.

However, after the crisis caused by money, a large number of small and medium-sized financial institutions went bankrupt, and large banks also tightened their money. Market interest rates also soared because money caused by basically withdrawal from circulation, and the annual interest rate for pledge loans reached at least 20!

This is at least! It is the loan interest rate between big merchants and big landlords. It is not something that anyone can borrow...

Those ordinary people who need to rely on borrowing to make a living are extremely difficult and difficult at this time.

Some of them were really unable to do anything, so they had to sell their children and their daughters to sell themselves... Oh, by the way, the prices of humans around Kaifeng Prefecture did not fall due to the significant increase in supply. Instead, they remained stable and demand was strong.

Whether it is a slave or a contract slave, a contract slave, a contract slave is a contract laborer, not a slave, a strong worker, a female slave, a child, the prices are rising steadily. Needless to say, the whereabouts of these slaves and the contract slaves are of course the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou Republic and the Nanyang Protectorate.

The industry and commerce of Zhou State are now relatively sluggish and do not require much labor. However, the Zhou State has a large number of knight manors, but the countryside of the country needs to be supplemented. Because the Zhou State conquered Goryeo, a large number of rural laborers have gained the opportunity to jump over the dragon gate. They either obtained the land by making meritorious service or became the beneficiary of the 100,000 immigration plan for each household to give 50 acres of land, two exemptions and three reductions.

The knights who lost their customers had to buy people...

Just at this time, a Great Depression occurred in the Central Plains of Song State again. Many refugees went to Zhou State to make a living, and some were sold to Zhou State as goods by human traffickers.

Of course, population trading requires severe criticism!

However, this sinful trade did ease the class contradictions in the Central Plains to a certain extent, and also allowed the population growth of the Han people in Zhou State to be much higher than that of other ethnic groups. At the same time, it also allowed the agricultural production of Zhou State to decline due to the scarcity of labor.

As for the sinful trade of trafficking humans to the territory of the Nanyang Protectorate, it is undoubtedly the fault of the infamous colonist Ji Yi.

For many years, the dominance of the Nanyang Protectorate has been in Ji Yi's hands.

Under his leadership, the Nanyang Protectorate consolidated its rule in the Sanfoqi Strait. It used war and various conspiracies to gradually collapse the Sanfoqi Kingdom and became the directly governed territory of the Nanyang Protectorate.

On the other hand, the Nanyang Protectorate also launched a military conquest of Java Island.

After a long and cruel battle, this fertile and flat island was finally brought into control.

Of course, it is necessary to develop a fertile territory! The local population in Java suffered huge losses in the war and was done by Ji Yi and Fang La. Wu Haogu didn't know that what was left was not an ideal agricultural labor. So the authorities of the Nanyang Protectorate Administration thought about the ways to spend money to buy landlords.

Yes, those who spend money to buy Nanyang are all landlords! So they have to buy one by one. When they arrive in Java, they will give 100 acres of paddy fields, oxen, farm tools, seeds, rations, weapons and indigenous combat purposes, and then they will be exempted from two or three to half.

It looks good, but it is actually a history of blood and tears! Those who crawl and drowned at sea, those who are unacceptable to the environment and die of illness, those who are malaria on Java Island, and those who are fighting with the indigenous people are really a group of people!

That's not all. The Central Plains farmers who have obtained land, oxen, farm tools, seeds, rations, and weapons have the obligation to join the army.

They are the soldiers of the Nanyang Protectorate, usually naval paddlers and deck hand-to-hand soldiers! However, unlike in the Central Plains, when they were in the Zhou State, the rich Nanyang Protectorate would pay them a salary. Moreover, the military salary is very high, and there are many opportunities to participate in the robbery... In short, I fell into an adventurer's paradise!

When Ji Yi's official ship was on the dock, a group of future landlords and bullies were crying and being snatched by vicious human traffickers.

The leader of the human trafficker was two black men, one with a tall and burly beard with a steel needle on his face, and holding a stick in his hand. When he saw anyone unwilling to go up the boat, he would knock it up a few times.

One is short-sized and kind-heartedly advised: "Don't cry, don't cry, go to Nanyang, not to be a military force... Nanyang is good, you won't be hungry after going there. Everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has good paddy fields to cultivate, and those without a wife can still get an indigenous lady. If I weren't old, I would have wanted to go to Nanyang."

Ji Yi just smiled bitterly as she listened to the black guy's words.

It is good to be good in Nanyang, and it is guaranteed not to starve or to be frozen. Moreover, the land is fertile, and the most important thing is to be collected for free. Indigenous ladies can also be awarded for free after each war of aggression. If you don’t want to, you can’t do it. There are many opportunities for making a fortune... It’s not good at all, it’s too easy to die!

Those who were driven onto the ship by these two unscrupulous merchants will die within three years... Maybe more!

Trafficking people to make a living in Southeast Asia is really a big loss of good deeds!

When Ji Yi felt a little guilty, someone had already discovered that he, the important official from Jiaozhi.

Ji Yi has a very good show, with a lot of entourage, most of whom have dark skin. And many servants are obviously looking in Lingnan and Jiaozhi, and they are obviously officials who come to Beijing from the south. Such a show is definitely not a small official, and recently, Ji Yi has only one senior official from Lingnan and Jiaozhi north.

"But is Jiaozhixiang Ji Yizhiji Bachelor?"

Ji Yi suddenly heard someone calling her name, turned her head and saw a thirty-year-old Confucian scholar walking towards him, and then bowed and bowed: "I was born in the late Taixue Chen Dong, and I have met Master Ji."

"Chen Dong?" Ji Yi thought about it and quickly returned the greeting, "You are Chen Shaoyang, Danyang, you have been relied on for a long time."

Chen Dong, the Restoration Party, is not as famous as the crazy student Kang Liang! Although Ji Yi is a high-ranking official, he still has to be more polite when he sees such an Imperial Academy leader.

Otherwise, even if he worships the emperor in the future, he will have a lot of trouble.

If possible, he also planned to bring Chen Dong and Zhang Jun into the account. Although Ji Yi had a lot of staff who could do business, there was no one who could be called the leader of the Scholar.

It would be even better if I could find the crazy student Kang Liang to help me next!

...

"The head of state, Mr. Mi, sent letters from Kaifeng."

Su Qi handed over the letter he had just received to Wu Haogu, who was sitting in the inner hall of the head of state of Tianjin.

Wu Haogu's "summer escape" in Chengde had already ended. He returned to Tianjin in late June, and then fell into busy official duties again.

"What's the matter?" Wu Haogu knew that Su Qi had read the letter, so he asked.

"Ji Yizhi has returned to Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Oh." Wu Haogu nodded. Mi Youren had been in Kaifeng Prefecture for a while, just waiting to meet Ji Yi.

Now Zhao Ji is becoming more and more addicted to mathematics and Taoism, is lazy in government affairs, and is accustomed to relying on the priest to deal with government affairs.

Cai Jing's verdict on Xiangyang Prefecture and Ji Yi's entry into the court meant a comprehensive adjustment of the throne of the Song Dynasty. Cai Jing's "old party" completely retreated, and the "new party" led by Ji Yi began to enter the government affairs hall.

During the transfer of power, the Song Dynasty court was in a state of silence.

"Have you met Ji Yizhi?" Wu Haogu asked Su Qi while unfolding the letter.

"See it." Su Qi replied, "Ji Yizhi agreed to establish the East China Sea Kingdom and the two countries to get closer."

This was expected. Because Zhao Ji had nodded, how could Ji Yi object?

Wu Haogu did not ask again, but read it himself. In addition to establishing the marriage between the East China Sea Kingdom and the two countries, the letter also mentioned Ji Yi Xuanma's affairs, as well as Ji Yi Xuanma's relationship with the retro party members before and after.

Ji Yi was in the match the next day after arriving in Kaifeng Prefecture, and then received the Xuanma imperial edict. Instead of letting him be the deputy prime minister, he was sent to the young master and the minister of the Secretariat in one step.

This "Shaozai" is to replace the original "Right Pushe" as the second prime minister's name to change the official title. It is a content of the Zhenghe Reform chaired by Cai Jing. Cai Jing was originally the Left Pushe and the Jung-Secretary Minister and was also changed to Dazai and the Jung-Secretary Minister. Now this position belongs to He Zhizhong.

In addition to Ji Yi, Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong also returned to the court in the new party camp. Among them, Zhang Shuye replaced Deng Xunwu as the official of the Privy Council, and Zhang Kegong became the left prime minister of the Shangshu, that is, the deputy prime minister.

In addition, Bai Shizhong, a Jinshi who was one term earlier than Ji Yi, was also appointed as the Right Chief of the Shangshu.

In this way, the six prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall will be He Zhizhong, Ji Yi, Liu Zhengfu, Yu Shen, Zhang Kegong, Bai Shizhong. The Privy Council is jointly led by Zhang Shuye, Zong Ze, Tong Guan and Hou Meng.

Among the ten priests, the New Party occupied six seats and the old Party occupied four seats. It was obvious that the New Party came to power.

"Draft a letter to me," said Wu Haogu, "first to congratulate Ji Yizhi on his worship; secondly, to propose a meeting in Tianjin to discuss and sign an agreement to divide tariffs between Nanyang and the two countries through the opportunity of marriage between the righteous and the princess Qingde."
