Qu Shixi, the Minister of Rites, sighed and instructed the officials of his Ministry of Rites: "Let all major official newspapers actively obey orders and send more effective reporters to the vassal states. Don't let those vassal states make trouble and continue to do whatever Han and Hu are indistinguishable! Let the words and deeds of these vassal states be supervised by the Han people all over the world!"

Like the Ministry of Rites, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang government offices were also actively extending their tentacles to the various vassal states.

After all, this means that you can expand the scale of your own government office and apply for more funds, and then internal employees can get more promotion opportunities.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao did this, which was naturally a bad thing for the monarchs of various vassal states that were enfeoffed.

After all, this means that centralization is increasing.

However, Bai Yangcui, the Duke of Yiguo who was far away in Prague, didn't know all this at this time.

He originally made great contributions during the process of Zhou Yuji's expedition to the west, and participated in the wars against the Rakshasa Kingdom, Poland, Lithuania and the Ottomans one after another, and was named Duke and was enfeoffed in Prague.

He did just regard the concept of Xingming Society as a tool to help him achieve success and fame. After finally achieving success and becoming the lord of the Principality of Prague, he revealed his true form and began to show the life of the landlords whom he, as a son of a noble family, missed the past of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Bai Yangcui began to buy Han people here through various channels through the savings he had earned over the years of his career and his property he had plundered in Prague.

Of course, Bai Yangcui does not like to use white people as slaves, but only likes to let his compatriots be his slaves.

Therefore, he would rather spend a high price to buy people from China.

But as he got older and bigger, he actually thought that he was the king of a country and should have a team of eunuchs, so he wanted to find some Han people to be his eunuchs.

After all, this is the standard match for the monarch.

The one who helped him find these channels was the Prague prefect Du Lied looking for him, and naturally he was also an accomplice of his enslavement of the Han people.

At this time, the two of them and the Han officials who liked the past life of gentry and landlords, played the game of Qushui Liushang on the outskirts of Prague, and there were Han maids waiting beside them.

Bai Yangcui was very satisfied with this and asked about the fact that he had been lying about setting up a temple name for his ancestors: "What are you discussing? Regarding the temple name, my country will naturally have to take the title of Emperor Gaozu or Emperor Taizu in the future."

Du Lide replied: "I am discussing it, I think it is quite appropriate to give the great master a temple name."

Bai Yangcui nodded after hearing this: "The Holy Ancestor is very good! Although the sparrow is small, it is complete with all the internal organs. Although our Yi Kingdom is just a vassal state, we must have everything the court should have! Dongchang and Jinyiwei must have it, and the 24 yamen in the inner court must have it, so we will not miss the selection of concubines. Unfortunately, the damn part of this area is all Hu women with a strong smell, and there are not many Han girls. It is a bit difficult to choose a concubine."

Just when Bai Yangcui felt quite insufficient, Gao Shiqi, an official from the vassal state, hurried to Bai Yangcui and said with a serious look on his face: "Master, big things are not good!"

After hearing this, Bai Yangcui hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"According to the Kuaima newspaper, many people from the court suddenly came from the Warsaw vassal state, saying that it was the Dongchang, the Jinyiwei, the Censorate, and even the Ministry of Rites. They wanted to set up branches in each vassal state to report real-time updates in each vassal state!"

Gao Shiqi replied.

Suddenly, a plop.

"Save the Lord! Save the Lord!"

Du Lide hurriedly started shouting.

Several guard soldiers hurriedly jumped into the stream where Bai Yangcui and other dignitaries were playing Qushui Liushang, and rescued Bai Yangcui to the shore.

Bai Yangcui said while spitting out bubbles, "It's over, it's over, the Jinyiwei, the East Factory and the Censorate. When the officials from the Ministry of Rites came, I, I privately stored the Han people as slaves, and I would not have been known to the court for all the court?"

Bai Yangcui said this and hurriedly squeezed to the stream, saying with a sad face: "Let me drown you!" I don't dare to look at His Majesty's face."

"Mr. Don't be anxious first! You are not alone in taking private Han people as slaves. There are many people doing this among the vassal states and officials. If Your Majesty really wants to do this, you have to consider the consequences of executing a large number of vassal states. The key now is to dismiss all the Han slaves in the mansion before the Jinyiwei comes. When the people from the court come, once they ask, they say that they have not enslaved the Han people and find a way to buy these people, and they will naturally be fine."

Du Lide persuaded him at this time.

Gao Shiqi said from the side and whispered: "It's not enough to dismiss the Han people who were deceived into being slaves, so as not to silence them! Avoid any accidents! Anyway, these Han people who were deceived are not people with foundations. Their families are afraid that they will only think that they are working outside and killing them, and no one will know."

After hearing this, Du Lide glanced at Gao Shiqi in surprise.

He didn't expect that this civil servant who was in charge of management and administration in Yiguo would be so vicious!

"Yes, kill and silence!"

But Bai Yangcui nodded in agreement, but suddenly said: "But when I think of killing my beautiful maids, I feel very distressed. I originally wanted to buy some more Han girls to hold a simple ceremony to choose a concubine."

"When the severity continues to suffer from chaos, lord, make up your mind!"

Gao Shiqi continued to reply.

Bai Yangcui nodded: "Help my country get up!"

However, after standing up, Bai Yangcui couldn't help but complain and said, "When it comes to this, the court is too much. Since the border land has been enfeoffed, it should be self-governed. Why should people be sent to see it? Can't the lords of the local vassal states and even the governors have some autonomy? Li Zhou said that enfeoffment of the local area and making it autonomous should be beneficial to the people's livelihood, so as to avoid the bureaucrats only knowing to cater to the top but not to the people! Therefore, this place must have the right to autonomy, and the court cannot interfere without competing with the people!"

"The king of the country is careful! There are examples of the Ningxi Kingdom and the Siam Kingdom. Even if it is a kingdom, the emperor can rectify it if it is a rule."

Du Lide reminded him at this time.

Bai Yangcui sighed after hearing this: "My lord knows that the court bullies us and dare not rebel. However, if the rabbit is anxious, he still wants people. Don't force people too hard!"

"snort!"

As he said that, Bai Yangcui ordered: "Silence the Han slaves in the mansion! They will save you from having too many dreams, go and do it immediately."

"yes!"

Du Lide replied, and had to start instructing the guards to capture all the Han slaves in Duke Yi's mansion and rush into a wooden house.

These Han slaves don't know what's going on.

Until they realized they were being locked in a room and smelled the pungent smoke, they realized the danger and shouted manic and uneasy.

"What is this for the lord?"

"Why did the master burn us?"
