Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

"Mr. Xing, please speak." Li Ke bowed slightly.

"Your Highness is naturally out of good intentions. The veteran also knows that such a system may be unreasonable, but this system also gives many people a chance to tide over difficulties, such as children who cannot support them. Although the word "sell" does not sound good, But as a slave to some big families, at least there is a chance of survival."

"Although there are slaves who were tortured to death by their masters, they are still a minority. Ordinary registered households also have murder cases. I don't know how your Highness thinks about this matter?" Fang Xuanling asked modestly.

As soon as Fang Xuanling's question came out, Li Ke knew that although Lao Fang's question seemed to be on the side of another group of people, this was an opportunity for Li Ke to explain.

"This brings me back to the question I mentioned before. These people can be sold as slaves, but with a ten-year, 20-year, or even 30-year long-term contract, which is the same as the labor law contract, a certain basic monthly payment is given. , the monthly fee can be very low, after all, the main family bought him, but there is one point, the personal rights must be the same as those of registered households.”

"Or in another way, pay off debts with work, and the court will come forward. For example, some people who sell their bodies to bury their mothers, or parents who sell their children, can be given a certain amount of money by the court, so that these parents or children Work for the court for free or with monthly money that only guarantees basic living.”

"But their identities are still registered households, and they are still dignified Tang people." Li Ke said with a serious expression.

Regardless of the issue of just one identity, it is just one identity. In Datang, I don't know how many people were restricted to die.

The identity gap between non-registered households and registered households is too great, "Of course, how to do this matter still needs to be considered by the emperor, and the minister is just a suggestion." Li Ke turned to Li Shimin and said, "But My son wants to use my son's personal name as a pilot."

"Huh? How do you want to experiment?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"I will buy all the non-registered accounts of the dental shops in Chang'an City, and let people release the news. If they sell their children and daughters because of difficulties, the minister is willing to lend them money and temporarily provide them with a job. "Li Ke said directly, "After a while, father can take another look at their status."

As soon as Li Ke's words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all the non-registered accounts of all the dental shops in Chang'an?It's not a small amount of money, but is it worth buying so many people just to save them?They themselves may not be willing to save themselves.

But when Changsun Wuji heard Li Ke's words, he immediately "understood" Li Ke's thoughts, huh, how noble did you think he was?Isn't the result just to solve the problem of not being able to hire people?Isn't it just to solve the funding problem to the greatest extent?

Buying these so-called non-registered accounts, although they retain their registered account status, isn't the monthly money of these people just as much as Li Ke wants to give?Even if Li Ke asked them to work for free for a few years, they must be willing, after all, few people are really willing to become non-registered households.

It turned out that this was his greatest purpose!Changsun Wuji thought he had seen through Li Ke's thoughts, so he stood up directly: "Your Majesty, I also have questions for His Highness the King of Shu."

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji, then paused for a moment and said, "Please speak, Sikong."

"His Royal Highness Shu's proposal, I also agree with it. His Royal Highness Shu is benevolent, and I admire it. If all the people in the Tang Dynasty have no non-registered households except criminals, such a prosperous Tang Dynasty minister would like to see it." Yes. Just now His Highness the King of Shu proposed, His Highness the King of Shu is willing to be a pilot, but I have a few detailed rules to ask, what will His Highness do after buying these non-registered accounts that sell their bodies?" Changsun Wuji asked calmly.

As soon as Changsun Wuji pouted his ass, Li Ke knew what he was going to fart, but Li Ke pretended not to know, but said very simply: "Return their identities to registered accounts, and sign a certain agreement with them, For example, if I buy a servant, I will sign a contract with him, which is equivalent to borrowing him. He will work for me, and the monthly fee for joining is 100 Wen. He needs to work for me for a year. It is equivalent to paying off."

"After paying off, whether he continues to work by himself or resigns to work elsewhere, it has nothing to do with me. The reason why I do this is to give these people a chance, a chance to live dignifiedly, and I hope that even if they It is to become the servants of some rich and powerful families, and the servants are only contractual. One day they want to live their own lives, and they have the opportunity to withdraw."

"Instead of being a slave for a day, a slave for life."

"His Royal Highness Shu is really kind. The old minister agrees with His Royal Highness, but I don't know how the monthly payment will be settled between His Royal Highness and those who signed the contract?" Changsun Wuji asked another question.

Li Ke sneered, knowing that you came up with this idea, but Li Ke didn't care, but said directly: "Of course it is the same as other people. They only need to pay more interest for borrowing money."

"Okay! I have nothing to say! Since His Royal Highness the King of Shu is willing to use Chang'an City as a pilot, I agree with this opinion." Changsun Wuji said decisively and loudly. Li Ke wanted to jump into such a big pit, so naturally Changsun Wuji You're welcome, but he wants to see how much money you, Li Ke, have.

Anyway, it’s just a pilot project now, and there is still a long way to go before it can be truly adopted as a national policy, because it involves not just one person, and it’s not just a powerful family, but all rich and powerful families including merchants and wealthy families will be involved. This is different from decisions made by "Datang Weekly" and the like. It is definitely not something that can be decided in a short time.

Changsun Wuji agreed, and naturally no one objected. Anyway, Li Ke is willing to take over this matter, so let Li Ke do it.

"Since all the ministers agree, my father, I have another request. Please allow me to change the status of these people from non-registered households to registered households." Li Ke confirmed with Li Shimin again. It is said that after being purchased by the main family, as long as the main family is willing, they can release their identities and deeds of sale, so that they can become registered households again, but they still have to go through the government.

"Yes, I will ask Chang Lin to draft an imperial edict for the county magistrates of Wannian and Chang'an counties." Li Shimin nodded and agreed.

After thanking him again, Li Ke went back to his seat and sat down. Looking at the back of Changsun Wuji, Li Ke sneered, you think I'm trying to avoid Gao Yueqian from finding a way out for me, right?You will soon know that I am copying your back.

After buying up all the non-registered households of the tooth shop in Chang'an City, when Changsun Wuji's blacksmith shop can't hire people, they have no chance to buy these servants to work.

As for Li Ke, who is not hired?Buying these people is nothing more than giving them their salaries in advance.

I just don't know, when the time comes, who will you guys find to work in your shop?
