Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Li Chengyan smiled wryly: "I would like to, but I have no way out in the empire. I know too few people, so it is difficult to get a relatively low price."

Suleiman clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I know, I know all of this. So, now I have a big deal to talk to you about."

PS: The first update was delivered, who saw the leaders who got lost?

Chapter 675 I, Chongzhen, Are Not Happy

Li Chengyan had already seen through everything—or, when Suleiman pouted his ass, Li Chengyan already knew what shit he was about to shit.

To re-dug the Suez Canal and enable it, the time required, as well as manpower and materials, are not a matter of one star and a half at all.

Taking artificial labor as an example, how many savages have died since the construction of the railways in Daming China?

The calculation unit is definitely not a calculation method such as household, Ding, and mouth, but a very simple and crude unit-one hundred thousand!

Because whether it is Hong Chengchou or the local government, they already know some of the bottom line of Emperor Chongzhen.

Among them, the most insurmountable bottom line is to kill the common people. Whoever dares to kill the common people, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely kill anyone with retaliatory retaliation. There is absolutely no feeling to speak of.

Since the heads of common people in Daming could not be used to pave the railway, the only options left were barbarians.

Before Xia Madgou returned to Emperor Chongzhen, the herdsmen of the Chahar tribe were treated exactly the same as Jiannu.

As long as they are caught, they will be sent to build railways until they die.

But when Xia Ezhe brought all the herdsmen of the Chahar tribe to surrender to Ming Dynasty, except for those little mad dogs who followed Xia Crazy Dog to spread the teachings of the saints, the rest of the herdsmen had been properly settled, and they were basically the same as the people of Ming Dynasty. treatment.

Even those who were arrested and forced to work as coolies were basically given a period of release, such as five or ten years, depending on individual performance.

To say that the biggest difference between them and ordinary Ming people is that Jinyiwei and Dongchang tend to pay more attention to them, and there is no difference at all for others.

Without the herdsmen of the Chahar Department, Hong Chengchou of the Ministry of Railways and the killers of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion set their sights on those Frangji people, as well as those people from Duogansi and Wusizang .

But how many of these people can there be?Death is not dead enough!

This is why Li Zizi and others made a fortune—the pirates headed by Li Zizi took off overseas to catch barbarians, and Zheng Zhilong's South China Sea Fleet arrested Kunlun slaves in the land of West Kunlun.

As for Admiral Nan Juyi's East China Sea Fleet, they are generally shamed because of Nan Juyi's influence-so they are buying labor from Cohen's East India Company, and they will not do it themselves.

It wasn't until the idiots of the British East India Company dragged the Mughals into the water in his long neibei that this extreme shortage of people was considered to have changed.

However, there is not much use for birds. Even if all the Mughals were taken back to build the railway, Hong Chengchou would still feel that the barbarians were not enough.

Because of the construction of railways, especially the construction of railways in Duogansi, Wusizang, Yunnan, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and because of the many mountains, the death probability of barbarians has increased exponentially compared to those places built before.

Under such circumstances, how many barbarians can be separated to the Suez Canal?

This is only a matter of manpower, and when it comes to logistics and materials, there are more problems, and it is even cumbersome enough to make the cabinet chiefs hang themselves collectively.

Now Suleiman suddenly proposed to discuss a big deal, so apart from things related to manpower and materials, what could be called a big deal?

At the very least, the drug is not a big business, because the shortage of the thing was intentionally caused by Emperor Chongzhen, not the real shortage of production.

Sure enough, after Li Chengyan nodded to express his interest, Suleiman said: "I think, if you want to dig the Suez Canal, you will need a lot of manpower and materials—whether it is manpower or materials, I can help you." supply.

Of course, all this is not free, because these materials and manpower also require me to pay other people, and I hope you can understand. "

Li Chengyan smiled and said: "The matter of silver coins is easy to talk about. As long as you can provide enough manpower and supplies, believe me, silver coins are definitely not a problem."

Suleiman was even more delighted: "So, how many people do you need? How many supplies do you need?"

Li Chengyan smiled and said: "No matter how many people you have - I can tell you responsibly that in addition to the people needed for the Suez Canal, I also need a lot of people in Daming.

So, as long as you can provide it, no matter how much labor you can get, I will take it all. Young and middle-aged are five taels of silver each, women and children are each three taels of silver, this price is very fair, right? "

Suleiman was a little unbelievable: "Li, I believe that if it is 1 to 20 people, you can definitely afford it, but what about after changing to [-] to [-] people? Can you still afford it? "

Li Chengyan said proudly: "Even if you bring in 100 laborers, I can still afford it!"

Regarding Suleiman's worries, Li Chengyan didn't take it seriously—a barbarian is a barbarian, and a barbarian who stays in the backcountry has no knowledge at all!

100? 200?

How much silver is that?

Even if you get 100 million young and strong, it is only 500 million taels of silver, so what is it?

What if it is 1000 million?

Anyway, Daming's treasury and His Majesty's internal funds are full of silver, how many silver coins can you want to make?At worst, you can add some tin or other things!

In order to make Suleiman feel at ease, and at the same time to rob the Ottoman country again, Li Chengyan simply stated: "In order to show my sincerity, I can first pay you a deposit of [-] laborers.

At the same time, in order to make the transaction more convenient, I will arrange for someone to mint the silver into your silver coins, so that it can be used for direct payment. "

Suleiman was even more excited, and repeatedly said that Li, a Chinese friend, is so caring. He even performed the steps of converting silver into silver coins-silver is melted into silver coins, and there will be losses in the process.

After waving his hands with a smile, Li Chengyan continued: "But, Suleiman, where are you going to get a hundred thousand laborers?"

Li Chengyan deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word labor, and then continued: "There are still supplies. With all due respect, if it is supplies for 2 or 10 people, I believe you can get them, but if you change it to 100 or so Is it [-] million servings?"

Suleiman couldn't help but be taken aback.

It is easy to get [-] workers, but it is not so easy to get [-] workers.

Especially supplies, supplies for 1 people and supplies for 10 people are completely two concepts, okay?

However, I just wanted to talk about a "worker" of [-] to [-] at the beginning, so why did it suddenly become [-]?

Suleiman was a little confused.

However, it is useless to be ignorant, and now we are talking about [-] instead of [-]—especially after the unit has become [-], the profit I can get has also increased by more than ten times.

After calming down, Suleiman said, "If it's just me, it would be really difficult to supply 10 people, but Li, what you need to know is that I'm not alone. There are still people behind me." A lot of people, they can also participate and provide you with supplies and manpower."

Li Chengyan said happily: "I don't care about those, I only know you in Osman, and I don't know anyone else.

Therefore, I will only talk to you about everything, and then you will talk to them on my behalf, including manpower and supplies. "

Suleiman immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry! I will arrange these things for you!"

Suleiman couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Li is actually a great person!

Talking to yourself about everything basically means that all silver coins will be moved through your own people.

I completely lowered the price myself!

For a "laborer", the price Li gave himself was five taels of silver, so he could buy it from others for four taels of silver.
