With Pei Xingjian's assurance, Mo Wen left the post house nervously. \ Outside the post house, several young men in tattered clothes were waiting not far away, and when they saw Mo Wen coming out, they silently followed.
After leaving the city, several young people quickly caught up with Mo Yu, who was waiting not far in front, and asked urgently: "Uncle Mo, how is it, what did Master Pei say?"
"I can't go back."
Mo Wen shook his head, sighed and said, "Actually, we should have known that there would be such a result. ” "But," said one of the young men, who was about to say anything more, was quickly stopped by his companion and winked at him.
At this juncture, Mo Wen, who was hit, should not have the heart to speak, anyway, he knew that Pei Xingjian did not have the intention of taking them back, and there was no point in saying anything else.
"But" Just when a few young people were disappointed and sighed, Mo Wen spoke again: "But Master Pei gave us a chance and agreed that we would go to those shops and mines opened by Han people to work, and the wages would be the same as those of the Buyeo people, and they could also protect us from being bullied." ” "What is this true" The young man who had just been pulled by his companion could hardly believe his ears.
"It should be true, I believe that Master Pei should not lie to me as an old man."
Mo Wen said.
Several young people glanced at each other, although there was no chance to return to Datang, but it seemed good that they would not be bullied in the future.
Looking at a few young people with surprises in their eyes, Mo Wen's heart felt a little better, patted the non-existent ash on his body, and walked into the distance: "Okay, let's go back quickly, Lao Zhang and the others may have been waiting in a hurry, so let's go back quickly, tell them about things, and decide how to do it in the future." ” "Hey, Uncle Mo, Uncle Mo, slow down, tell us what else Master Pei said" Several young people chased after Mo Wen and shouted.
In the post house, Pei Xingjian and Pang Wenlong smiled bitterly at each other, the arrival of things one after another made the two of them a little overwhelmed, before this they had thought of many possibilities, but Hanmin's matter really hadn't been considered.
"What should I do, do you want to talk to the county king," Pang Wenlong asked.
"Do you think it's useful to say that the king of the county won't take care of this kind of thing, even if he really manages, how can so many people return to Datang at once, do you know who they are, whether there are Goguryeo spies, and whether you want to redistribute the land."
Pei Xingjian said dejectedly.
Speaking from his heart, if it was only a few hundred, or one or two thousand, Pei Xingjian would have dared to directly agree to Mo Wen just now.
But in reality, it is more than 100,000 people, which is estimated to be some Han people near the pseudo-Chang'an, and if it takes a little longer, people in other places also get the news, and it is estimated that the number will reach more than 200,000.
Not to mention, it is likely that there are still many people waiting to see the outcome of the matter, if the court really agrees to accept these Han people back to China, the number will increase again, so that it is 300,000 people. 300,000 people, how many people are there in Goguryeo, you got 300,000 at once, it's no wonder that Gao Jianwu is not crazy, after all, there are people who have him, the emperor, if even the people run away, what does it mean for him to be the emperor.
Therefore, it is impossible to bring everyone back, unless, unless one day in the future, the Tang Dynasty will completely turn Goguryeo into its own territory, and then it will not return Pang Wenlong hesitated: "I think that no matter whether it is useful or not, the news must be sent back, anyway, now that the trade route is open, it is not too troublesome to send a message." ” Pei Xingjian nodded indifferently: "Well, I'll send Xiong Lao Er back, he has more experience in the rivers and lakes." ” Pei Xingjian had just promised Mo Wen that the old man would take care of the Han people living in Goguryeo, how could this promise be fulfilled, after sending Xiong Lao Er out, the two young intelligence officers sent a lot of people out to inform those people with the five surnames and Qiwang, and did their best to take in the Han people.
The five surnames and seven wangs, plus Chang'an Xungui, received a notice from Pei Xingjian, and they had their own ideas for a while.
The nobles think that it is better to use raw than cooked, anyway, they are all recruiting, and Hermes-Epitek is also their own people, so it is easier to use; The five surnames and seven hopes are holding the idea of preferring to foreign countries rather than domestic slaves, and several mines would rather use Fuyu than Han people.
The two sides held their own opinions and refused to give in to each other, and finally simply found Pei Xingjian directly and let him, a young man, decide.
In the Juxian Teahouse invested by Li Muyun, the heads of more than a dozen big families sat together, and the representative of the family spoke first: "Master Pei, you also know that the business of our five surnames and seven wangs is that the work of the mine is too dangerous, and how to solve it if something goes wrong with Hermes-Epitek and how to be worthy of their families."
Without waiting for Pei Xingjian to express his position, someone on Xungui's side immediately said: "What is this worthy of, sorry, according to what you say, our Datang mine will not start construction yet."
"How can it be the same, in Datang, it is planned mining, here, we are" The representative of the family did not finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.
Since they came to Goguryeo, it was for money, to exploit the surplus value, and to squeeze labor was necessary, and the daily labor of the miners in the mine was definitely more than twice that of Datang.
But the thoughts of the nobles are absolutely different from the thoughts of the family, in their opinion, Goguryeo is the Tang Dynasty sooner or later, what is the urgency of mining a mine, just dig it slowly, anyway, that thing can't run.
So the two sides quarreled again on this issue, Pei Xingjian, who listened to it, had a big head for a while, knocked on the table and said: "Okay, everyone don't quarrel, I have reported this matter to the court, I believe that there will be a result after a while, what we need to do now is to appease these displaced people from the previous dynasty, no matter how they came to Goguryeo in the first place, and no matter what the risk of work is, they are Han, then we have to give them a way to live." ” Speaking of which, he has raised normal business things to the moral level, and they are all his own compatriots, although he is outcast, if he doesn't ask, then the reputation of the five surnames and seven hopes will not be saved.
Although the representatives of several major families were a little reluctant, they finally had to agree to Pei Xingjian's request.
However, compared to the nobles, they promised to accept only half of the Han-Mins in their employees, and no more.
In contrast, the noble side is much more generous, no matter how much, they take it all, the principle is still that principle, it is better to use raw than cooked
