Rob?

Everyone sitting is trying hard to recall the definition of "grab".

But he had no idea. Yuan Jie said in a daze: "How dare you ask the person in charge, how to rob?"

"Of course it depends on people to grab it." Han Yi thought this question was very idiotic and said: "In this trade exchange conference, I talked with several slave owners about Kunlun slaves. They were just savages living on the islands on the south sea, and at most they exist in tribal form, but they were very backward and a mess. Our Tang Dynasty did not need to send troops to go there, our Yuan family was enough to conquer them. Our Yuan family wanted to build a caravan with weapons to fight, conquer the tribes on the islands, and transport all their people back to our Tang Dynasty to help us reclaim wasteland."

Yuan Xi and Yuan Le were speechless when they heard it.

This is really a big deal!

Almost everyone was sweating profusely, including Yuan Xi and Yuan Le. This was simply a plan to destroy the world. Of course, Yuan Mudan was sweating profusely.

Yuan Zhe was stunned for a long time before he realized, and said, "We are just buying and selling, you are fighting!"

"War is just a continuation of business." Han Yi shrugged and smiled: "And we are not fighting, we are just going to save them so that those savages can live a human life, not a monkey life. Look at the Kunlun slaves now, they don't want to go back."

Yuan Le couldn't help it. You were not bold, but looking for death. He said, "Han Yi, you have to be cautious. To form an army, let the court know that we may all die."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Second uncle, this is too exaggerated. I didn't say I wanted to form an army. I just said to form a caravan that can protect myself and go to those islands to do business. When we go to the Western Regions to do business, we will also send many people to protect our caravans with weapons. This is very normal. However, those people take the initiative to attack us, so we have to conquer them, and then transport their people to my Tang Dynasty to help us reclaim wasteland and plant food. The court should give us rewards."

Speaking of this, he said very seriously: "Performance is the top priority of this plan. Without productivity, everything is empty talk. Therefore, if I want to implement my plan, I must take this step and try my best to transport slaves from abroad to reclaim."

In fact, Han Yi opposed slavery, and he even hated slavery, but there was no way. This was a very realistic problem. Dreams must also respect reality. If they do not respect it, it would become idealism. The Tang Dynasty had too few populations and too large land. In addition, the strict equal-field system, if it did not do so, it would be impossible to obtain enough productivity in a short period of time, and then there would be no way to complete the original accumulation.

His life was so short, but his goal was very ambitious, and he had no time to wait for enough productivity, so he had to take this move and introduce slaves from the Nanyang islands as much as possible to reclaim wasteland.

No one dared to nod. This plan was too bold and too risky, and it was completely beyond their imagination. So they all looked at Yuan Xi. This is the head of your appointment, so you should say something.

Yuan Xi has been the head of the family for so many years and has never encountered such a major choice. He did not expect that Han Yi's appetite was so big, and he had to use force to promote the entire plan. His palms were sweating and he couldn't make up for a moment, so he just said, "I listen. Han Yi, just keep saying it."

Han Yi continued: "Actually, what I want to say is almost done. In the final analysis, it is still the raw materials. Everything is based on raw materials. Therefore, our Yuan family must do three things. First, develop manpower and enhance productivity. Second, find new raw materials, such as cotton and rice seeds. Third, while reclaiming the south, the Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin have established factories similar to the Freedom Beauty Garment Factory, integrating resources, focusing on developing silk, porcelain, tea and other commodities, and vigorously developing trade when there are sufficient goods."

Yuan Jie wiped his sweat and said, "In this way, we may have to run outside all year round."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Don't you think this is exciting?"

Yuan Jie said, "That's true."

Seeing that Han Yi had said almost everything, they couldn't digest it if they continued, and said, "Okay! Let's stop here today. As for what to do, we old men still have to discuss."

This thought heaven and hell decision is really too difficult to digest. If you don’t discuss this, I’m sorry for Han Yi’s words.

Then Yuan Xi and Yuan Le walked out with a sweat on his face.

Yuanjie and the others were staring at Han Yi blankly.

Han Yi smiled and said, "What are you doing when you look at me like this?"

Yuanjie jumped up and said, "Master, what exactly do you want to do?"

Han Yi said: "I am just performing my duties as a chief, it's that simple."

“This is not simple.”

Yuanzhe said: "You are!"

Speaking of this, he didn't know how to describe it.

Not long after, these young men walked out staggeringly, as if they were in a dream.

Yuan Mudan and Han Yi also went to Yuan Mudan's courtyard.

Back in the house, Han Yi quickly had a cup of tea to quench his thirst. Suddenly, Yuan Mudan looked at him blankly, and his shy face turned red, "Although I am quite handsome, I will still feel embarrassed if you look at me like this."

Yuan Mudan said in a very calm tone: "How long do you plan to hide it from me?"

"What am I hiding from you?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "You were here just now. What do you think is for personal gain? I am wholeheartedly doing it for your Yuan family."

Yuan Mudan said: "This is the strange thing. Why do you have to devote yourself to our Yuan family? We are just a cooperative relationship. I ask myself that I can't concentrate on your North Lane."

"Maybe I did a fake show."

"Um?"

"Just kidding."

Han Yi smiled and then said seriously: "First of all, I personally don't take money very seriously. I have never thought of taking advantage of your Yuan family. There is really nothing to take. I can make money myself. I believe this is also the reason why you trust me. In fact, I have always fought for leadership, not interests with your Yuan family. I need to get the support of businessmen, including your Yuan family."

Yuan Mudan said curiously: "Why?"

Han Yi said: "You may not believe me if I said it."

Yuan Mudan said: "But if you don't say anything, our cooperation will end here." Her tone was plain, but also firm. This plan was not only her unknown area, but also very risky, so she was not in the mood to play hide-and-seek with Han Yi anymore. Either you confess or we will finish it together. After all, in her heart, the interests of the family are the primary.

Han Yi was not afraid of Yuan Mudan who was furious, but was afraid that Yuan Mudan who was so calm now, and thought to herself that it was time to confess to her and keep blurring, which was not good for each other. So she said, "Because of a rebellion."

"Rebellion?"

"Chen Shuo really rebelled."

Han Yi said: "I have fought with Chen Shuozhen and had a life-and-death battle. She once asked me a question. She said that in the situation in Qingxi County at that time, was there any other way she could do besides picking up the knife? I didn't answer because there was really no way. This rebellion also reflects the hidden dangers under the prosperous Tang Dynasty, that is, the living environment of the people was too fragile.

If the weather is good every year, it is best, but if there is a little disturbance, the people cannot withstand it. In my opinion, if commerce develops, it may be able to make up for this, because I believe that natural disasters will not occur in the country at the same time. If commerce is smooth, every region does not need to rely entirely on local food, but more on foreign food. Then even if natural disasters occur, there will be no food outage.

Also, we must reclaim more wastelands and let all the places be full of food, so that we can respond to natural disasters with stronger ability. However, most people now have their own land and can settle down. And no one is willing to leave their hometowns and go to wastelands to reclaim them in a good era. The court cannot force the people. This will cause more chaos. Then we can only rely on merchants, because every merchant wants to make more money. Driven by interests, merchants are more likely to reclaim wasteland."

Yuan Mudan blinked and said angrily and hilariously: "What do you mean is that you do all this for the country and the people? But the reason is because of a traitor. I didn't expect you to be so great." The second half of the sentence has a hint of ridicule.

"I just say you won't believe it." Han Yi said self-deprecatingly: "Actually, I can't believe it myself. But human nature is so complicated. The beginning of any dream may be just because of a sentence, a person, a trivial matter. But it is wrong to say that it is entirely for the country and the people. As for the Yuan family, the Yuan family can obtain more land on the premise of gaining the trust of the court. As for me, I need a stable environment where my technology can be converted into more commodities, sold to more people, and earn more money. Therefore, this is a plan that benefits the country, the people, and others."

Yuan Mudan narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "Even so, the merchants in the two cities have now followed you. Even if you don't have my Yuan family, you can do this."

Han Yi shook his head and said, "Neither the merchants in both cities can do it. I have the courage, but the problem is that I don't have this power. I can accumulate a lot of money in a short period of time, but I cannot reach the sphere of influence of your Yuan family in a short period of time. As for the current development of my Beixiang, it will take at least ten years for me to develop the scale of your Yuan family, and it is very difficult, especially the land.

The businessmen in the two cities gathered together with the powerful and powerful behind the scenes, so they could try it out, but they did not have the courage and they were not united. They were hesitant to develop a factory similar to a garment workshop. Only your Yuan family is the best candidate. You are very united, have a mature system, easy to command, have a power all over the country, have a vast network of people and talents in all aspects."

Yuan Mudan said: "So you use me to control the Yuan family."

Han Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't use you. Our cooperation is like the relationship between a captain and a ship. Facing the turbulent sea, although you are big enough, you don't know how to sail to the other side. But I know, but I only have some small boats. I need a big enough boat to ride the wind and waves and reach our destination."

"It's your destination." Yuan Mudan smiled.

Han Yi sighed: "The reason we cooperate is because we have common interests. You want to use my talents and technology to help you achieve your goals. I want to use your strength to achieve my goals. This is how our cooperation has been since the beginning. If not, then why should I cooperate with you? Or why do you want me to be the head of the company."

Yuan Mudan raised her lips and said, "Since that's the case, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "If I told you, would you agree?"

Yuan Mudan said: "So you use me?"

Han Yi sighed and said, "I admit that I have played some tricks in this regard, because I know you will definitely not agree. You will always choose the most stable development method. This kind of development method is difficult for you to understand, so you will definitely not agree, so I chose this method.

However, I am not trying to control your Yuan family. I am just seeking a chance for myself to explain my plan to your Yuan family. But in the end, the veto power is in your hands. I just give you suggestions from a partner. If it is passed, I will hand over the detailed plan to you and let you lead.

Of course, I know you have your ideas, but please forgive me for saying something very unpleasant. Your trick is just a small fight and cannot lead the Yuan family to prosperity, cannot fulfill your dreams, and cannot cater to the court's policies. Even if you succeed, the gains will be insignificant."

Yuan Mudan looked at Han Yi, her eyes full of struggle. She was hesitating whether to terminate the cooperation with Han Yi because she could not control this plan at all. No one in the Yuan family could do it. If it wanted to be implemented, she had to rely on Han Yi. But the problem was that in her opinion, she and Han Yi were only in a cooperative relationship, which was beyond the concept of cooperation. However, Han Yi's plan did have extraordinary features. If it was completed, the profit would be very considerable, and it was an expansion that catered to the court's policies.

Han Yi didn't say anything. He knew what Yuan Mudan was thinking, which was why he confessed, because Yuan Mudan had the ability to terminate this plan. If he didn't confess, Yuan Mudan would probably choose to terminate all this.

After a long time, Yuan Mudan suddenly said, "I will give you another chance."

Han Yi's face was happy and was about to speak, Yuan Mudan suddenly said, "But don't be happy too early. As you said, the final decision is still in the hands of my uncle and others. I will not support or oppose it. Moreover, the reason I agreed was for our Yuan family. If I told the truth, our cooperation would definitely be terminated, but your plan may have impressed my uncle and others. Your plan may still be implemented, but I think if you were not at the helm, this plan would become more dangerous. This is the only reason I agreed. But I will not trust you anymore."

Although she is a woman, she has a very good overall view. She rarely makes mistakes in major decisions because she knows how to do it very well for the overall situation. It is very difficult to see Yuan Mudan's intentions, and that all belong to Xiao Wuyi.

Han Yi said: "You must trust me. Only when we trust each other can this plan succeed. If we don't trust each other, the success of this plan is very small."

"But how can you trust you if you tell me?" Yuan Mudan's beautiful eyes gathered a trace of mist.

Han Yi said: "I know it is very unfair to you in this matter. I am very sorry for this, but if I don't do this, I will use more despicable means to induce your Yuan family to do this, because this is my goal and I will definitely do this. Then, the fight between us will continue, or deceive you more deeply. I just hope to achieve our cooperation in a more honest and fair way."

Yuan Mudan remained silent for a long time and said, "Let's talk about it, I'm tired." After that, she got up and went into the inner room. To be continued.
