Cheng Chumo was silent, all the generals were silent, this is no longer afraid or not, but a chill down the spine, the soldiers and horses around him on the battlefield, if they are not colleagues who can be their backs, how can such soldiers and horses be at ease?"
Master Xue, we still have to find a way to solve this problem, those barbarian soldiers are no different from bandits, they pass through like locusts crossing the border, and they can do everything, and now they are nominally under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, if this continues, it will be very difficult for us to take over the territory at that time."
Adjutant General Li Zhen said worriedly.Xue Rengui pressed the group of worried generals around him, signaling them not to worry."
Doctor Du of Chang'an City has sent news and given a way to deal with it, and I will discuss with the main personnel of the Khitan and Murwei clans later, that is, in this war, all the gains are prisoners of war and slaves, and the Du Family Chamber of Commerce will purchase unlimited quantities according to the number of people and labor."
What??
Acquisition??
Are you kidding?
When did the Du Family Chamber of Commerce start operating the slave trade?
Could it be that this is the purpose of their support for this war?
Take the opportunity to make war money?
Oh my God, if this is really the case, there are no less than 2 million people in Goguryeo, and to destroy Goguryeo is to take 2 million slaves.Not to mention the profits, just saying that the Goguryeo territory is empty, what is the substantive significance of us laying down here?
Xue Rengui stood up and explained: "Don't get me wrong, the Du Family Chamber of Commerce doesn't really want these people to do slave trading, just use this reason to save the lives of the local people, only let our barbarian soldiers know that everything here can be exchanged for real money, they will know to cherish and preserve, otherwise they will only know destruction."
I have to sigh, Dr.
Du is really well-intentioned!
”"Great idea!
As soon as this plan came out, when those soldiers went to harm the people again, they would consider in their hearts that if they killed a person, they would lose a lot of money, and how much food and goods would have to be there. ”Li Jing's grandson, Li Lingwen, stroked his palms and praised them.Li Ji's son Li Zhen said worriedly: "But in this case, there will be endless slaves, such a large number, if it is really sold to the Du Family Chamber of Commerce by their three clans, I am afraid it is an immeasurable number, does the Chamber of Commerce have such a large financial resources to pay?"
”Xue Rengui waved his hand and said, "We don't have to worry about business matters, we will settle the matter with the three clans after the war, these own chambers of commerce will contact us, we just need to cooperate with the propaganda and control the indiscriminate killing of our soldiers." ”"Well, that's right, in fact, if you think about it carefully, although this group of soldiers under your command is not easy to use, they are still very heroic when they fight like hungry wolves.The only drawback is that their armor and weapons are old and tattered, which is much inferior to the regular army of Goguryeo, let alone compared with our regular army of the Tang Dynasty, sometimes I feel that I am a beggar leader, leading a large group of beggars to fight. ”Cheng Chumo sighed.Xue Rengui nodded and said: "That's right, this is another huge shortcoming of ours, according to calculations, Goguryeo should have a large army to the north to support in the near future, and there will definitely be a tough battle with our 100,000 people."
You should run in with your subordinates as soon as possible, so as not to suffer a big loss when you get the time to deal with it. ”After hearing this, everyone nodded heavily and dispersed.In the city of Buyeo, Su Lie, together with the eldest prince Li Chengqian, was interviewing the leaders of the Khitan and Murwei countries, and the two sides held high-level consultations on the matter of the prisoners, and Li Chengqian represented the Du Family Chamber of Commerce."
Is what Vice Admiral Li said true?
The captives of this war are at the disposal of our two tribes?
This, this," the chief of Murowe said in disbelief.The Khitan king was puzzled: "This seems to be out of order, according to the covenant, our soldiers and horses are hired by you at your expense, and they belong to you for the time being, and the spoils and prisoners are yours, now" The thing said this, but the shining eyes had betrayed his heart, and it was obvious that he was also tempted by the huge benefits in this war."
Our Du Family Chamber of Commerce's owner Du Juma told me in a handwritten letter that if you don't believe it, you can come to see his letter."
Li Chengqian took out an envelope from his arms.Su Lie coughed lightly and said, "Two, I forgot to solemnly introduce to you, this Deputy General Li's real name is Li Chengqian, and he is the eldest son of His Majesty today, His Royal Highness the Great Prince of the Tang Dynasty."
And Du Shaoqing, the owner of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, is his brother-in-law, so this time on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce to discuss with the two, all his words and deeds can not only represent Datang, but also represent the Chamber of Commerce. ”These words frightened the two of them, and they hurriedly stood up and saluted, isn't the prince of the Tang Dynasty in front of them?
The great leader of the chamber Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't know if His Royal Highness is here, and I am offended."
If I don't believe in Your Highness, there is really a problem, this wealth is fine, but this captive population, even if it is for us Murowei, our poor country is weak, and there is no food to feed them.Therefore, it is better to do this, there is a saying in Datang called repaying the peach, our room Wei is just the wealth of the spoils of war, and the population will belong to Datang. ”Hey, this thing is treacherous, it looks like he is doing a favor, but in fact, he is throwing his useless burden to the Tang Dynasty, he is really a barbarian leader with a lot of details, Su Lie couldn't help but glance at the other party.The Khitan king was an old man, and when he heard this, he hurriedly followed: "That's it, Datang takes care of us, we should repay it, the population belongs to you, and we don't want it." ”Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to interrupt the two: "In this way, it just so happens that we have to govern after we take the territory of Goguryeo, so we need the people to take care of this place, so it is useful to accept these captives."
The proprietor's letter said that if the two of them don't want to be taken prisoner, then we Datang want everyone to be converted into money according to the head and labor, and count the captives that our Datang bought from you. ”What???
There's this good thing?
We can't give you away for nothing, and you give us back the money?
The two were puzzled.Li Chengqian smiled, and said lightly: "The Du Family Chamber of Commerce, and even the entire Datang Dynasty, are all right and wrong, one yard is one yard, and there is no such thing as taking advantage of it in vain, I hope the two of you understand this, and we must also cooperate, otherwise our owner will complain that I, the guarantor, have embezzled the partner's money." ”"Huh?
This, this cuckoo is really atmospheric!
Since this is the case, then we will accept it with a cheeky face, and the money given for nothing, the Chamber of Commerce will look at it and give some, they are all friends" The leader of the chamber Wei said a little embarrassed.How's that going to work?
Li Chengqian immediately retorted.I also said in my heart, if the price is less, you still use human life as a mustard, aren't we busy in vain?"
How about you two listen to the quotation of our Chamber of Commerce before making a decision?
We decided to buy captives at a price of one hundred and fifty, an unlimited amount, I don't know if you have any opinions on this price?
”What??
How much?
One hundred and fifty-one?
Both stood up at the same time.Su Lie said with a smile: "The two of you heard it right, the Chamber of Commerce has paid a lot of money this time, whether it is men, women or children, all of them are one hundred and fifty-one, if it is replaced by grain, it is a full hundred and fifty catties of high-quality grain, such a price is high in our Datang market, not to mention that the prisoners obtained in the war are uneven without selection" "Ahem, His Royal Highness the Great Prince, General Su.Wouldn't the price be too high?
You must know that there is still a part of Datang in this captive, we are like this" Li Chengqian smiled: "Not high, not high, this is the price calculated by the capable people of the Chamber of Commerce, and they are worth this price."
Of course, there is also an extra part of it, which is counted as a benefit from our Datang to the allies of the three clans, so that you can fight with us and make a fortune, and you will naturally have to express your hard work.The money obtained by each captive can also allow these soldiers of the Great War to subsidize their families, and more than 100 catties of grain can feed their families, which is a little bit of our heart from the Chamber of Commerce and Datang.So if you're okay, don't excuse yourself. ”"No opinion, no opinion, it's too pleasant to cooperate with Datang, Datang is worthy of being a big country, taking care of neighboring small countries everywhere, I am grateful, and I will personally go to Chang'an to thank His Majesty the Tang Emperor after the war."
The Grand Chieftain of Murowei is very good at talking.The Khitan king was much more clumsy, and he would only follow and say, I am the same!
Su Lie smiled on the side and said: "In this case, the two of you must hurry up and order your subordinates, don't kill wantonly everywhere you pass, each head is more than a hundred catties of grain" "Oops!
Special mother, I knew this, I really should have whipped our Khitan reckless men to death, one by one I have never seen the world, everything is fresh, this has been fighting for more than ten days, I don't know how many people have been killed, how much food has to be lost?
”The Khitan king was heartbroken.Li Chengqian and Su Lie glanced at each other with strange expressions, and the effect was really immediate."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Don't mention the past, there won't be many opportunities in the future."
Li Chengqian said with relief.The Khitan King suddenly remembered a question and asked: "By the way, can you send a few people to help, our subordinates are all rough people who fight and kill, and they are not very proficient in accounting and counting problems, so "The great leader of Murowei is also a little moved, and indeed his own clan also has this problem."
Su Lie muttered: "Hey, we are fighting, the military situation is like fire, I'm afraid I don't have time to count the money for us one by one, I have a total of ten military Simas, all of them are doing things with the march, and I can't spare anyone." ”So what to do?
The two looked at Li Chengqian, the news was brought by him, is there anything he can do?
Li Chengqian muttered: "I didn't say anything in the owner's letter about this matter, but I have an idea, I don't know" "Your Highness, say quickly, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, you must be proficient in this way." ”The Grand Leader of the Murwei asked.Li Chengqian patted his thigh and said: "Hey, there is a way that those who do big things are never small accounts."
My method is that the war situation is urgent, so we will not send people to count the numbers one by one, but calculate the number of people according to the size of the city, the population of the large city is 50,000, the population of the small city is 10,000, and the population of several super large cities in Goguryeo is 100,000.After the next city, let's add this number, and finally calculate the total number, and then your three clans will distribute the final income according to the proportion of the number of troops, and we will settle the settlement to you after the war, what do you think?
”"Uh-huh, well, very good, that's the best idea."
Both applauded at the same time."
But there's one more condition."
Li Chengqian continued: "If the count is so vague, what if our soldiers have no limit to looting and killing?
When we finally went to receive the captives, the owner looked at it, how could it be an empty city?
This can't be done, you can't pay the difference. ”"Yes, yes, absolutely not, we can't make Du Juma dissatisfied, and we will strictly restrain our clansmen when we go back.""
I'm afraid the distance is too far, and the soldier can't control the killing intent on his body.In this way, every time we occupy a city, we will count the population and property of the city, and I will instruct the quartermaster to carefully and strictly examine the deaths and wounds of the common people in the city, and at last summarize the total number of civilian deaths in each city, and deduct the amount of the indiscriminate killings and wounds of the soldiers from the total amount that is prepared to be paid to you. ”Li Chengqian talked eloquently and calculated the account in front of the two, but it was obvious that he was a little bit of a cow playing the piano, both of them were old and coarse, and their level of transformation was not high, such a complicated oral calculation, the brain really couldn't react, so after listening to it, he was in a state of confusion.But I was embarrassed to ask, so I was a little embarrassed in a daze.Su Lie smiled on the side and said: "It's very simple, the great prince's method is roughly to say that the population of Goguryeo is counted as one million, and if the civilian people do not die in the war and all become our prisoners, then we will give you one million and one hundred and fifty catties of food."
But if we calculate the casualties in our army, there are dead and wounded in each city, for example, the total number of dead and wounded is 500,000, then you can't earn the 500,000 prisoners, after all, we don't want dead prisoners. ”Yes?
Million?
Half a million?"
That General Su, one million and one hundred and fifty catties, how much grain?"
The Khitan King asked weakly.Su Lie smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the door and said, "Let me tell you this, almost the entire Buyeo City is piled up!"
”With a plop, the Khitan king sat on the ground, my God, so much grain?
It's enough for all of us Khitan to eat for a year, no, you can't eat it all in a year, right?
However, the great leader of Murowei asked weakly: "Is there so, so much food, does Datang have it?"
”Li Chengqian said slightly arrogantly: "Is there one?
I'm afraid you don't know how many people we have in Datang, tell you the truth, the food that all of us in Datang eat in a day exceeds this amount.Still ask if we have any?
One of our people will have more than enough for one mouthful. ”This is a bit exaggerated, but Li Chengqian is sure that the two in front of him are rookies in mathematics, and it is not a problem to fool them.
