Chapter 363 We Are Pests
Everyone was shocked now. The cheapest one is a gold. Which ordinary soldier has so much money? This is ten thousand yuan. Even if an ordinary soldier is rewarded two or three times, he will not have so much money.
Everyone looked at each other and said helplessly.
"General, I, we don't have that much money."
Yang Gan nodded hypocritically and complained, "It's so poor."
Suddenly, an awkward expression appeared on everyone's faces. It was poor, Jinni Ma, who was poor, had few copper horns on his body.
"But I am not so merciless. Those who have money can redeem themselves, and those who have no money can wait for your country to redeem themselves. Of course, if your country has no money, you need to go to Yuntong City to recuperate. After recovering from the injury, you must farm or work for me."
"General, are we slaves?"
Yang Gan immediately explained, "No, no, no, you misunderstood, they are all from the Central Plains. How could I let you be slaves? I will prepare the land you cultivate, oxen, and rake, but I have to pay four floors every year for rent and taxes."
"Those who perform well can go home in one year, and those who perform poorly can go home in three years. If there are particularly excellent people, I will give you a free ox cart and send you home."
"What?"
The entire ward was confused.
"General, General, do you only need to pay four layers of food?" Some soldiers' breathing became obviously thicker.
"Ah?"
Now it was Yang Gan's turn to be confused.
He is a little small in four layers?
"How much rent will you collect from the captive owner in China?"
A soldier in Shangguo said, "My house is lighter, it is five floors, and I bear the grain tax by myself."
"My family is 60%."
"My family is 55%."
Yang Gan was immediately happy. The fourth floor was not nonsense, but well-founded. 30% of locals included taxes, so outsiders must be higher, otherwise they would be afraid that locals would be unbalanced.
"General, how much land do you give us to cultivate?"
Yang Gan was happy, "How much? It's the first time someone asked me how much land I gave me. Our Xia Kingdom is different from your Shang Kingdom and Liao Kingdom. Other counties have not been popular yet, but in Yuntong, the land belongs to the country, not to individuals, and of course there are also old seals."
"So, as long as you go to open up land, you will rent four floors of rent as much land."
"Is there a ox that is true? And a rake?"
Yang Gan said impolitely, "Yes, there are, there are."
Suddenly someone said weakly, "General, you won't lie, you're not a fool, plowing ox is so precious. There are more than 500 people in my hometown farm, and only about twenty plowing oxes."
Everyone immediately looked at Yang Gan.
"Are you stupid? I ask you, who killed the Xiongnu, Jie tribe and Yue clan?"
"It's you."
"What's the most three tribes?"
"Cow, Sheep, Horse."
"You said how many cows I have, I can't afford to raise the cows now."
"General, if I save food, if I go back a year later, can I take it back?" A soldier asked a question.
"No, of course I can take it back. We Yuntong don't need this little food for you~~~!"
"What else is there? I'll help you solve it."
The soldiers looked at each other and one soldier asked, "General, what are the benefits if I don't go back?"
"Oh? Want to be a Xia people? That's simple. If you don't commit crimes, of course you can join. At that time, the rent can be turned into a third floor, and there are many welfare conditions."
Yang Gan said impatiently, "Okay, I'll say so much. I still have a lot of important things to deal with. Have a good rest. We, Yuntong, lack everything, but we don't need to eat."
"So, the first order I give you is to eat hard, eat meat once a day, eat corn with open stomach, and never save me food."
"No~~~!" The wounded soldiers of the two countries roared and agreed. Nothing was more exciting than this order.
After the group walked out of the wounded area, Yang Gan turned his head and whispered to Gu Weiqi, "These people are ready for me. If someone makes trouble, beat me up. If you don't listen, just kill a few people who take the lead."
"promise!"
"However, General, if you ask them to eat forever, there will be no problem now. When more and more wounded soldiers are, I'm afraid I can't stand it."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "What are you anxious about? Those who are seriously injured stay. Those who are slightly injured will transport them back to me next time the food team arrives. Do you know what role we play in the war between the two countries this time?"
Gu Weiqi thought about it and shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Yang Gan pinched his fists on his chest with both hands and said rhythmically, "We are pests, we are pests. We must suck tightly on the bodies of both countries like lees, constantly sucking the population from them. Do you understand?"
Gu Wei's eyes lit up slightly. It turns out that the general had this plan.
"I understand that I must cooperate with you with all my strength."
"Um!"
After Yang Gan left, the soldiers were still a little worried, but with the comfort of Zhao Wenmo and Deng Hongda, they gradually stabilized and at least they would not explode.
Just as Yang Gan was preparing to absorb the population, he was already in a quarrel in the court of Guzang, the capital of Liao Guoguo.
"King, before I returned to Guzang, I passed by the border and found out after inquiring that all our wounded soldiers had gone to the Xia State military camp. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate if this continues." Han Jingtong was wearing Liao State's court uniform and was obviously already an official in the court.
King Liao glanced at him and looked at the Prime Minister again.
Gong Zhong and Jinpeng immediately understood, and he smiled and said, "Mr. Han doesn't know that this season's food has dropped slightly compared to previous years. The wounded soldiers consumed too much food and medicine. If this continues, the border will probably not be able to hold on."
"The king now has the food and medicine saved by these wounded soldiers, so he can re-enforce his soldiers and repair spears."
Han Jingtong said distressedly, "Once such a trend is formed, the Liao Kingdom will suffer a lot. Our country's population will flow into Xia Kingdom in large quantities. Once the war is over, where will the Qianshou go to farm the land? Is this what the king and the prime minister want to see?"
Gong Zhong Jinpeng sneered, "Mr. Han is exaggerating. All the injured soldiers are entrusted to the Xia Kingdom. First, it can reduce food and medicine losses, second, it can slow down logistics supplies, third, it can do not waste troops to take care of the injured soldiers. It is more beneficial to Liao Kingdom than harmful."
Han Jingtong hurriedly said, "Prime Minister..."
"The Prime Minister is right." King Liao interrupted.
"Jing Tong, don't worry about this anymore."
Han Jingtong exhorted with great thoughts, "Farming is the foundation of a country and requires a large population. Liao Guonuo does not pay more attention to the population, which will shake Liao Guo's foundation."
"The king, the sage king governs the country, emphasizes agriculture and suppresses commerce. He always throws wounded soldiers to the Xia Kingdom whenever he fights. In the long run, Liao Kingdom will definitely have a sharp decline in population. Where does the food come from?"
King Liao smashed his mouth and looked at Han Jingtong with disgust.
Gong Zhong and Jinpeng also restrained their politeness at this time, "Mr. Han, the wounded soldiers are very expensive and will also be threatened with epidemics. It will reduce some hidden dangers and reduce some consumption. Isn't it equivalent to indirectly saving our country's food."
Han Jingtong argued that "the wounded soldiers entered Xia, not only our country, but also Shangguo. This is a conspiracy of Xia, aiming to bring the population of the two countries into Xia and weaken the national strength of our countries."
"The king, please take a small profit, and the king should order the wounded soldiers to enter the summer."
King Liao slowly stood up, "Jing Tongna, our Liao Kingdom is the vassal state with the largest land and the largest population among the vassal states. I let the wounded soldiers enter the Xia Dynasty, not because I don't know the serious relationship, but because of a population of only a few thousand or tens of thousands, it is not even a drop in the bucket for our country."
"I know that you are worried about Liao Guo, but it is not advisable to be cautious."
"Okay, Jing Tongruoruo has nothing to do, I still have to go out hunting with my relatives." After saying that, King Liao shook his sleeves and left.
"Master, Master."
Han Jingtong looked at King Liao's background with a distressed look on his face, unable to speak, and Gong Zhong Jinpeng said proudly.
"Jing Tongna, you'll be rushing back to Guzang from Fuyan, and the carriages are exhausted, so let's have a good rest."
Han Jingtong turned around slowly, looked at Gong Zhong Jinpeng with anger and murmured.
"Those who are sick with the dead cannot be born."
"Those who work with the deceased country cannot survive."
After all the officials retreated, an official stepped forward and said, "Mr. Han, forget it, the letter of state has been signed, and it is impossible to tear it apart at this time. We are fighting with Shang Kingdom. If Xia Kingdom is in a position to interfere with one another, it will inevitably be attacked from both sides."
Han Jingtong looked full of pain. "The farmers were rushing to join the army, and the wounded soldiers actually poured into the Xia Kingdom. When the war silenced, where did the mulberry, hemp, and corn come from to support the common people? There were thousands of people in Liao, and they could only beg for food from the sky in the future."
"God, this is the way for me, Liao Guosheng."
"The King of Xia is a good method."
The official sighed, "I heard that this time, Yang Qian, the governor of Yuntong County, Xia Guo, signed the letter of state, was fully responsible, and it was also his suggestion."
Han Jingtong's eyes were dull, and she felt that what was in front of him was an unshakable feeling. A big net enveloped him, no, enveloped the entire Central Plains.
Suddenly, Han Jingtong's eyes shone brightly, as if she was thinking of something. After saying goodbye to the officials, she strode outside.
On the battlefields of the two countries, there is a height of a wood.
Yang Qian, with Chrisna and others, lay on the tree, holding a telescope and constantly observing.
"Chrisna, why are you climbing trees so slowly?"
In hope, Chrisna looked at Yang Qian with a desperate look on her face, "Oh, I'm not good at climbing trees."
Yang Qian smiled and turned his head and said, "Belica, record the formation of the two armies for me, and the order in which they sent troops."
Yang Qian was calm, but on the battlefield, he was coming and going, and the wind was bloody. Almost every time the Shang Kingdom army had to suffer a wave of losses. There was no way. Liao Kingdom's heavy crossbow shooting distance was far, so what could he do?
At this time, before the second wave of heavy crossbow attack was met, Shangguo's order flag began to wave, and the sound of order came immediately.
"Raising the shield~~~!"
"Dingdeng~~~!"
Several soldiers from the square formation began to hold heavy shields and put them on their heads, wrapping the entire square formation tightly.
The sound of "叶揶" kept coming. Although most of the arrows were blocked by the shield, some bronze arrows were still stuck on the shield.
You should know that Shangguo’s technology is the strongest in making shields, but the two countries are at war, and it can be said that they are in the face of the sharp edges and conflicts are intersecting.
