Film and TV time travel: reselling supplies as soon as the end of the world

Feeling Xie Xiaoyu's soft body in his arms, Zhou Yang suddenly became distracted and hurriedly tried to pull Xie Xiaoyu off him.

"How could I not want you? I can't want anyone else but our lovely Xiaoyu!"

"Come down quickly, you're strangling me!"

When Xie Xiaoyu heard this, she held Zhou Yang's neck tighter: "I won't get down."

"So many people are watching."

"Just watch! If anyone dares to gossip, I'll cut off his tongue."

Ding Minjun and Liang Yingying stood aside with their heads down and said nothing. Zhou Yang's favor towards Xie Xiaoyu made them both envious and jealous, but they could only envy him.

Zhou Yang slapped Xie Xiaoyu on the butt, "Get off me, what a disgrace."

Xie Xiaoyu didn't care at all, and even twisted her body a few times, causing Zhou Yang to feel a surge of anger in his lower abdomen that he couldn't suppress for a while.

"Your servant Wang Mengqiu greets the Lord City Lord."

When Zhou Yang was still thinking about how to get Xie Xiaoyu off him, he heard Wang Mengqiu's voice. He turned around and saw Wang Mengqiu saluting him.

"Oh, Miss Wang, no need to be polite!"

After Wang Mengqiu responded, he retreated to the side of Liang Yingying and Ding Minjun. He also lowered his head and looked submissive, as if he didn't notice that Xie Xiaoyu was still hanging on Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang was a little embarrassed and said to the girls, "You guys go and get busy first!"

"Yes!"

The three women nodded their heads and agreed, then left with many guards.

After seeing the three people leave, Zhou Yang said to Xie Xiaoyu who was still hanging on him: "Xiaoyu, come down first. I have something to ask you."

Xie Xiaoyu pulled her head away from Zhou Yang's neck, looked at him with watery eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Why is the room we stayed in before unoccupied?"

"Oh, it was Sister Xiaorui who said that she would not live there anymore since she had a bigger palace to live in! As for why no one was cleaning, it was because they were afraid that someone would see you suddenly appear. So they arranged for Liang Yingying to lead the team to patrol here."

Zhou Yang nodded suddenly, "Oh, so that's it! When I first came and saw the state of the room, I thought something had happened to you. Then take me to where you live!"

Xie Xiaoyu finally got off Zhou Yang after hearing this, but she still held Zhou Yang's arm with one hand, and rubbed Zhou Yang's arm with her huge weapon from time to time. Zhou Yang tried to pull his hand back several times, but failed.

When Zhou Yang arrived at the new palace, he saw that it was indeed big enough! But before he had time to take a closer look, someone came to report that Pang Qing, Meng Xueyi, Wang Yong and others wanted to see him.

Zhou Yang quickly pulled his arm out of Xie Xiaoyu's arms and let Pang Qing and his group in. Zhou Yang brought Xie Xiaoyu to the main hall and waited.

As soon as they arrived at the main hall, they saw Pang Qing, Meng Xueyi, and Wang Yong walking in front, followed by Liu Quan, Li Duo, and Feng Sheng. The six of them were about to salute when they entered the main hall, but Zhou Yang raised his hand to stop them.

"What are you doing here?"

Pang Qing, the relative of the emperor, stepped forward and said, "The Lord City Lord has not returned for so many years, which really worried us. We are overjoyed to hear that the Lord has returned safely."

These empty words made Zhou Yang feel anxious. He quickly stopped them and said, "Don't do this to me. Tell me what you have done during this period of time. What results have you achieved?"

"Sir, the cement roads throughout Lin'an Prefecture have been completely paved. The effect of the cement roads is very good and has been praised by the people and local officials. Now many places are requesting that they pave cement roads. I wonder?"

"Of course the road must be paved. Why ask?"

"Yes!" Pang Qing agreed, and then said: "Sir, our sphere of influence has expanded rapidly in the past two years, so if the cement is transported from Lin'an, it may be difficult!"

"Then we should build factories locally, register them properly, pay taxes properly, and let the people run these factories."

Pang Qing was stunned at the time. Zhou Yang said he didn't want such a big deal? Was he going to give up the benefits to the people?

"Sir, this matter? I'm afraid ordinary people can't do it!"

"Then let the local landlords do it. If they want to eat this piece of fat meat, they will definitely hire people to work. This will also be a way for those people who have no other way to make money to make money!"

"Your Excellency is righteous, but I am worried that these landlords and gentry will buy slaves in large quantities and disrupt the slave market..."

"Pass the order down. The people under my rule are not allowed to traffic in human beings. Those who have slaves in their homes must convert them into employment contracts. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will have their property confiscated and be sent to work in the mines!"

"Li Duo!"

Li Duo, who was just standing by, was immediately startled. His main purpose of coming here was to show his presence in front of the city lord. Pang Yuheng and Fang Jiantong were both out fighting. He was the only one staying in Lin'an, so when he knew that the city lord was back, he ran over to show his presence as soon as possible.

He was startled by Zhou Yang's sudden shout and stepped forward quickly: "I'm here!"

"Go and coordinate this investigation with Ding Minjun and Zhao Zhong. As long as they can verify which family still has such a thing as a body selling contract, their property will be confiscated and they will be sent to mine. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

When Li Duo heard this, he knew he had a job to do, and he immediately knelt on one knee excitedly: "Yes!"

"Your Excellency, this cannot happen! Absolutely not! We need to think about this matter carefully."

Zhou Yang knew it was Meng Xueyi without even looking at him. He squinted at Meng Xueyi and said, "Oh? Lord Meng, what do you think?"

"Sir, this saying of domestic slaves has existed since ancient times. If you were to do this, I'm afraid the world would be in chaos!"

"pedantic!"

Zhou Yang shouted loudly, which frightened Meng Xueyi so much that he knelt down on the spot and hurriedly called out to his lord, "Sir, please calm down."

Zhou Yang said angrily, "Why, Master Meng can't bear to part with the servants in your house?"

"It's not that I can't bear to leave my servants, but your Excellency governs more than just Lin'an Prefecture, but..."

"Master Meng, please stop talking! I have made up my mind about this matter. Now is the time to destroy it and then build it up. If we don't build it up now, it will become too difficult to get rid of it over time. I want to see who in Jiangnan has a harder neck than my knife!"

"Pang Qing, I'll give you three days to pass down the decree to all places! Give them a month to have all the servants in your house register their employment contracts at the local government office. All brokerages will be shut down from their human trafficking business, and anyone caught will be killed without mercy!

I will never tolerate this. I want them to know that the cost of human trafficking is really serious. It depends on whether they have the life to earn the money or not. "

Pang Qing quickly straightened his expression, bowed and replied, "Yes!"

"Sir, this matter still requires..."

"Meng Xueyi, how are you doing with the task I assigned to you last time?" Zhou Yang didn't want to dwell on this matter any further, so he changed the subject and asked about school and the imperial examination.

Seeing Zhou Yang's tough attitude, Meng Xueyi stiffened his neck, looking as if he was ready to die for his loyalty.
