Chapter 2096
Sun Yingying smiled angrily and was dissatisfied. "Grandpa, how can you be like those sour Confucians? What etiquette do you say to the soldiers of Heichi state who want to kill our people and soldiers in the Zhou Dynasty?
Courtesy is for friends, not for those jackals, tigers and leopards who covet to invade us.
In addition, do we need money to buy weapons? Do we need money to buy food and grass? Also, the soldiers kill the enemy desperately and are injured. Don't they need medical treatment? Don't they need to spend money on pensions when they die?
Now that we have won the war and begun to enjoy the fruits of victory, someone must be responsible for the invasion launched by Heichi country. "
Sun Yingying's righteous words surprised the Duke of the town.
Yeah, why didn't you remember before?
Now they have absolute strength to deter the black pool country. Of course, they can't easily let go of the black pool country. The previous disposal methods can't!
The Duke of the town nodded again and again, then looked at Sun Yingying with burning eyes, and asked excitedly, "how much ransom do you think?"
Sun Yingying smiled cunningly and said proudly, "a soldier is 50 or 100 Liang silver. As for those nobles, it also shows that we attach importance to Heichi country, so we are not willing to coerce their nobles. Therefore, noble generals are also treated at the same price."
The Duke of the town didn't understand, "shouldn't the higher the official position, the more expensive the ransom?"
Sun Yingying said with a smile, "there is a saying on the outline of the dynasty of the great Zhou Dynasty that the people are the most important and the king is the least. The prince breaks the law and the common people are the same. It shows how much we attach importance to the common people.
Therefore, we should do the same for Heichi country. Doing so will benefit us a lot.
First of all, this can accelerate the internal division of Heichi country. Many of those noble generals are people from various tribes. Their families naturally hope that they can return to Heichi country as soon as possible, so they will be willing to pay no matter how much money.
We want less money to let these nobles go back, but if they don't bring back their people, they will be despised by ordinary people after they go back.
When nobles want to fight again, ordinary people are likely to be cold hearted and will not fight with all their strength.
Secondly, if the black pool country is too expensive and unwilling to pay for it, we can publicize that the lives of the people in the black pool country are cheap. It is their master or king who is unwilling to redeem them, not that we deliberately don't let them go back. "
The Duke of the town opened his eyes. "Well... If Heichi country is shameless, fighting for domestic boredom and not redeeming, do we keep those prisoners all the time?"
"Of course not. Our food is not from the strong wind!" Sun Yingying shook his head. "These people are young people. Since no one redeems them, they must stay in Dazhou.
It's just that Da Zhou doesn't raise idle people, let them dig mines, let them build roads, and let these people work, so they can have food. If they don't work, they have no food to eat. If they starve to death, they will work obediently. "
The Duke of Zhenguo heard with great interest and sighed, "in this way, it's really a good way to get several benefits at one stroke.
Yingying, if you really didn't disappoint me, these opinions are good. But don't say these words outside. I'll write a memorial here, submit it to your majesty, and then negotiate with the courtiers. "
