"I asked you to come here to discuss this matter. There must be a charter for who will go and who will not go. After all, this is only the first batch. There must be more prisoners who need to be taken care of and resettled. It has been explained that from now on, there will only be people in the factories, mines, and fields in Koryo, and people from other places will all be brought to the pass, and there are a lot of things here that I lack people to do!"

All the ministers nodded. This is a national policy that has been decided before. Goryeo will not keep anyone in the future, but only the working captives and the stewards sent by the pass.

Afterwards, the business of each family is naturally managed by each family, but now it's not time for each family to divide the business, how to play it?

Changsun Wuji and the others have taboos, so it is not easy to speak freely, and Li Shimin also has a headache. This is not only a matter of national law, but also involves many family interests. If you speak blindly, it will be too hurtful.

The shareholders who participated in the big project of Koryo this time are all his die-hard supporters, otherwise they would not be eligible to participate at all.

It is precisely because of this that if someone loses money because of the unreasonable division of interests, it will undoubtedly be a blow to the current good relationship between monarch and minister. Li Shimin will not do such irrational things.

The few in front of him are all important ministers he trusts, and they are all shareholders. Li Shimin didn't hide it, and directly expressed his concerns.

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui didn't speak, and they didn't want to offend anyone, but they usually spoke directly to Yuchi Jingde, who was like a fool,

"Your Majesty, why don't you call all those people over and let whoever wants to go, let him go. Anyway, those Korean captives will be brought back in the future. Let's just treat this as a business!"

"Let's pay for food and grass, wages, etc., and give a good salary. See who is willing to go, and earn this money!"

Li Shimin and the others' eyes lit up when they heard the words, they never expected that Yuchi Jingde, a fool who only knows how to fight, would actually come up with ideas.

Moreover, although what Yuchi Jingde said was very simple and straightforward, it has to be said that this is really the best idea in the current state.

There must not be too many families who take the lead in handling affairs, if there are too many, there will be chaos. Who knows if seven or eight leaders in a team will fight first without encountering the enemy.

Secondly, although others have to pay again, this is different from the previous investment in Zhang Nuo's project. It was an investment before. Although there is a high probability of making money, it may also lose money.

But it's different now. This is not an investment. It is equivalent to spending some shipping and security fees to transport your loot back. Anyone is willing to pay for this kind of money.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin didn't delay any longer, and directly notified the servant to summon someone, and let's just open up and chat here later.

Not long after, with the arrival of shareholders one by one, the originally empty palace was slowly filled.

And as early as when they came in, they had already received the news that Korea had initially won the battle, and the first batch of working prisoners had already been captured. Now they are discussing how to get them back to work.

After everyone came together, Li Shimin started directly as the leader,

"Everyone is a supporter of this Goryeo campaign, and it is reasonable to share the benefits. But now there is a problem. Although King Qin has already captured two cities and captured nearly [-] prisoners, if he uses those Veterans of hundreds of battles go to see the captives, it's a bit overkill!"

"At the same time, it's good that there are not many captives at present. When there are more and more in the future, wouldn't the 20 people in King Qin's hands not be enough to watch the captives?"

"So, in order to solve this situation, after King Qin's proposal and my permission, I proposed a solution. Choose a family among you and call a group of retired soldiers to Liaodong to bring those captives back safely and completely. Guanzhong, and then hand it over to those who want it."

"For the other families who didn't go, everyone can pool together the travel expenses, food and grass, and then send a few good people to watch and count!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately started to move. Li Xiaogong, as a general and also a prince, likes money the most. Hearing such good news, he immediately asked,

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether it's leading the army to support him or gathering food and grass, it's not a big problem. If it doesn't work, I can just go to Liaodong!"

"But what I want to know now is, how will the prisoners brought back be distributed? What price will they pay? Or how will the price be determined in the future?"

Well, as soon as Li Xiaogong's question came out, the meeting was completely distorted. Who still has the mind to study food, grass, ordnance, and all focus on their own interests.

Chapter 477

And just when Li Shimin summoned his group of ministers to "distribute the loot" in full swing in the palace, King Rongliu of Goryeo was also dumbfounded with the military report sent back by Yang Wanchun in the palace of Goryeo.

It's only been a few days for this damn, the two cities are gone?People were also taken as captives?None left?

Why is this Tang Dynasty here?

Why do you follow the routine at all?

Even King Rongliu, who was in a daze, asked the ministers around him if he hadn't noticed that Datang had issued some credentials before.

As a result, after checking it several times, the near minister gave a very positive answer, no!

This made King Rongliu a little puzzled. Isn't this Shangguo in the Central Plains a country of etiquette? Isn't it the most respectful of rules? Why do you start fighting without even saying hello?

This made King Rongliu, who had sprayed the belligerent Yang Wanchun useless before, a little bit unbearable!

It turns out that Shangguo of the Central Plains is really going to call!

It turns out that the 20 troops hoarded in Liaodong were really preparing for the attack on Korea!

This makes people a little uncomfortable!

Now that it is time for a bumper harvest, if a large number of young adults are mobilized out, wouldn't this year's harvest be over?

More importantly, as a king, he had no idea what Datang was going to do this time.

If it is really a war of annihilation of the country, then there is nothing to say, and it will definitely be resisted desperately.

But what if Datang just wanted to take advantage or take revenge?

After all, as King Rongliu who admired and understood the Central Plains culture very much, he clearly knew that in the Central Plains culture, sometimes he could do a lot of thankless things for the sake of face.

But what is it for now? If you don’t say hello, it’s a sap. Even two cities have been destroyed. There is no such thing as a letter of credence. What are you planning to do?

It's no wonder that Gao Lirong stayed with the king. As Gao Li, who has been in contact with the Central Plains culture for a long time, they are too aware of the very important face culture in the Central Plains culture.

What about "the master humiliated the subject to death", what "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", what "the majesty of the heavenly kingdom" and so on...

It can be said that Goryeo has studied the culture of the Central Plains thoroughly, so whenever the Central Plains Dynasty rises, they immediately go over to proclaim their sons and call their fathers, and when the Central Plains Dynasty is weak, they quietly go over and secretly occupy a piece land or something.

It is because they know that the civilization of the Central Plains is proud, even conceited, and they don't look down on Goryeo at all. On the contrary, Goryeo covets the fertile land of the Central Plains Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that all the Central Plains dynasties have only one goal in their battles against Goryeo, and that is to make Goryeo call him father, and just be honest as a son.
