Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad
Page 523
"The Divine Doctor Du in Chang'an City has sent news and given a countermeasure. Later, I will discuss with the main personnel of the Khitan and Shiwei clans. That is, in this battle, all the captured slaves are prisoners of war. The Du family The chamber of commerce buys unlimited number of people and labor.”
What? ?Acquisition? ?
What are you kidding?When did the Du Family Chamber of Commerce start the slave trade?Could this be the purpose of their support for this war?Taking the opportunity to make war fortune?
My God, if this is true, Goguryeo has no less than 200 million people, and if Goguryeo is destroyed, it will take down 200 million slaves. Tsk tsk, if all of them are captured and sold, then it’s okay?
Not to mention the profits, but just talking about the Goguryeo site, which is empty. What is the real 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 be slaves. They will know how to cherish and preserve it if they come with real money, otherwise they will only know how to destroy it.
I have to sigh, Miracle Doctor Du is really well-intentioned! "
"Good idea! As soon as this plan is made, when those soldiers go to harm the people again, they will think in their hearts that if they kill a person by themselves, they will lose a lot of money. How much food and goods will it take?"
In this way, I am afraid that all the soldiers are reluctant to kill people, and they are rushing to arrest people as slaves. " Li Lingwen, Li Jing's grandson, applauded.
Li Ji's son Li Zhen worried: "But in this way, there will be endless slaves. If such a large number is really sold to the Du Family Chamber of Commerce by their three clans, it may be an immeasurable number. Does the chamber of commerce have the financial resources to pay for it?"
Xue Rengui waved his hand and said, "We don't need to worry about business matters. We will make an agreement with the three clans to settle the settlement after the war. These self-owned chambers of commerce will contact them with special personnel. We just need to cooperate with the propaganda and control the indiscriminate killing of our soldiers."
"Well, that's right, actually think about it carefully, although the soldiers under him are not easy to use, but they fight like hungry wolves, they are still very heroic.
The only downside is that their armor and weapons are old and tattered, which is far inferior to the regular army of Goguryeo, let alone our regular army of Tang Dynasty. Sometimes I feel like I am a beggar leader, leading a large group of beggars to fight. "
Cheng Chumo said with emotion.
Xue Rengui nodded and said: "You guessed right, this is another huge shortcoming of ours. According to calculations, Goguryeo should have a large army going north to support it in the near future, and it will definitely have a tough battle with our 10 people.
You should get in touch with your soldiers as soon as possible, so as not to be overwhelmed and suffer a big loss. "
Everyone nodded their heads and dispersed after listening.
In Fuyu City, Su Lie and the eldest prince Li Chengqian are interviewing the leaders of Khitan and Shiwei. The two sides are conducting high-level discussions on the matter of captives. Li Chengqian is representing the Du Family Chamber of Commerce.
"What Lieutenant General Li said is true? All the prisoners in this battle belong to our two clans? This, this" the leader of Shi Wei said in disbelief.
The Khitan king was puzzled and said: "This seems to be against the rules. According to the covenant, our soldiers and horses were hired by you at your own expense. For the time being, they belong to your soldiers and horses. The spoils of war and the prisoners are yours. Now"
This guy said so, but his shining eyes have already betrayed his heart. Obviously, he is also tempted by the huge benefits in this battle.
"Our boss, Concubine Du, of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce informed you in a handwritten letter that if you don't believe me, you can read his letter." Li Chengqian took out an envelope from his arms.
Su Lie coughed lightly and said, "Both of you, I forgot to give you a solemn introduction. This Lieutenant General Li's real name is Li Chengqian, and he is the eldest son of His Majesty, His Highness the First Prince of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Shaoqing's son-in-law, the owner of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, is his own brother-in-law, so this time he represented the Chamber of Commerce in the discussion with the two, and all his words and deeds could represent both the Tang Dynasty and the Chamber of Commerce. "
These words frightened the two of them, they hurriedly stood up and saluted, could it be the Crown Prince of Datang in front of them?
The chief of Shiwei quickly waved his hand and said: "I don't know if His Highness came personally, but I offended you.
If you don't believe His Highness, there is really a problem. The goods are good, but the captive population, even if it is given to us, we are poor and weak, and we have no food to feed them.
So, it’s better than this. There is a saying in Datang that reciprocate. Our Shi Wei only needs the spoils of war, and the population belongs to Datang. "
Hey, this guy is really cunning, he looks like he is doing favors, but in fact he is throwing his useless burden to Datang, he is really a barbarian leader who is thick but fine, Su Lie can't help but give him a high look.
Khitan King is a rough man, upon hearing this, he quickly followed up and said: "That's right, Datang took care of us, we should repay it, the population is yours, we don't want it."
Li Chengqian stretched out his hand to interrupt the two of them and said, "Well, it happens that after we take down the territory of Goguryeo, we need to manage it, so the people need to take care of it, so it is useful to take these captives.
The owner's letter said that if the two of you and Mohe don't want prisoners, then we, Tang Dynasty, will count each person according to the head and labor, and convert it into money for you, and count the prisoners that we Datang bought from you. "
What? ? ?
This, this is such a good thing?We can’t even give you free gifts, so you give us back the money?The two were puzzled.
Li Chengqian smiled, and said calmly: "The Du Family Chamber of Commerce, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, are not clear-cut. One yard belongs to one yard. There is no such thing as taking advantage of nothing. I hope you two understand this, and you must cooperate, otherwise Our boss will complain that my guarantor has embezzled the money of the partner."
"Ah? Well, this Concubine Du is really majestic!
Since this is the case, then we have the audacity to accept it, the free money, the chamber of commerce will just give it some money, and we are all friends," said the leader of Shiwei a little embarrassed.
How about that?Li Chengqian immediately refuted.
I also said in my heart, if I offer you a lower price, you will still treat your life like nothing, isn't our work in vain?
"How about the two of you listening to the quotation from our Chamber of Commerce before making a decision?
We decided to buy captives at a price of 150 per person, and unlimited purchases. I don’t know if you have any opinions on this price? "
what? ?
How many?One hundred and fifty?
The two stood up at the same time.
Su Lie said with a smile: "You heard me right, the chamber of commerce has paid a big price this time, no matter men, women, old or young, there are all 150 people, if it is food, it will be a full 150 catties of high-quality food. The price is high in our Datang market, not to mention that the prisoners from the war were all unselected and uneven."
"Ahem, His Royal Highness, General Su.
Is the price too high?You must know that Datang is still a part of this prisoner, so we are like this."
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "It's not high, it's the price calculated by the competent people in the chamber of commerce, and they are worth the price.
Of course, there are extra parts of it, which are counted as the benefits that our Tang Dynasty gave to the allies of the three races. Letting you fight with us and make a fortune, it is natural to show your hard work.
The money earned by each prisoner can also allow these soldiers of the war to subsidize their families. More than 100 catties of grain can feed their families.
So if you have no opinion, please don't decline. "
"No objection, no objection. It's a pleasure to cooperate with Datang. Datang is worthy of being a great country, and it takes care of its neighbors and small countries. I am grateful. After the war, I will go to Chang'an to pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang." Shi Wei Da The leader is very good at talking.
The King of Khitan seemed much clumsier, he just kept talking, and so did I!
Su Lie smiled at the side and said: "Since this is the case, the two of you should hurry up and order your subordinates to stop wanton killing wherever you go. Each head is worth more than 100 catties of grain."
"Oh! Damn, if I knew this, I should have whipped those reckless people of our Khitan to death. They all looked like they had never seen the world, and everything they saw was new. This has been beaten for more than ten days. I don't know how to kill them." How many people have been killed, and how much food will be lost?" the Khitan King said with grief.
Li Chengqian and Su Lie looked at each other with strange expressions, the effect was really immediate.
"Don't mention the past, there will be more opportunities in the future." Li Chengqian said in relief.
King Khitan suddenly thought of a question, and asked, "By the way, can you send some people to help out? Our subordinates are all rough people who fight and kill, and they are not very proficient in accounting and counting, so"
The chief of Shiwei was also a little moved, and indeed his own family also had this problem.
Su Lie murmured: "Hey, we're at war, and the army is on fire. I'm afraid we don't have time to count and count our belongings one by one. I have a total of ten army commanders, and they all follow the march. I can't get anyone out."
