When people were in Qin, they ruled the world

Chapter 326 Conspiracy and Doubt

Using money to buy people's hearts?It's not too clever, but it's not bad.

And if the enemy cooperates, then this method will become another situation,
Just imagine, when these prisoners of war return to their respective hometowns one by one with a small amount of money for them, can they really keep the money?
Even if they can keep their money, Qin will make them unable to keep it.

The people in the main hall are all the important ministers of Qin State Jiuqing and above. As Yingzheng's confidantes, they all know that after five years of domestic construction and accumulation of national power, Qin State has been able to achieve large-scale The land used troops abroad, and Wei State was the first target of Qin State.

Faced with the pressure of Qin State, Wei State will definitely use all the manpower and material resources of the whole country to prepare for the war. At this time, a huge amount of money appears in front of King Wei. Can he really withstand such temptation?
Difficult.

In just an instant, Lu Buwei's follow-up plan appeared in the minds of several people in the hall.

"How much money does Prime Minister Zuo think is appropriate to give to the prisoners of war of the Three Kingdoms?" Ying Zheng asked.

"One thousand dollars per person is suitable." Lu Buwei said without much hesitation. He didn't need to think too much about the measurement of money at all, it was the energy already engraved in his bones.

"One thousand yuan, the total amount is more than ten million yuan, but I can take it out." Ying Zheng said.

"My lord, is more than [-] million yuan too much?" Zhi Su Nei Shi Wang Wan questioned.

In the state of Qin, each copper coin has a net weight of half a tael, about twelve baht. If another concept is used, the weight of a copper coin is about eight grams, so the weight of [-] million Qin half taels of copper coins has reached [-]. Eighty thousand catties, this is real bronze, if it is cast into a weapon, it is enough to arm an army of one hundred thousand.

How can such a huge amount of money make Wang Wan, who is the ruler of millet internal history, not feel distressed? He is an official in charge of money in Qin State, and every financial transaction of Qin State has passed through his hands.

Hearing Wang Wan's words, the people in the hall did not fluctuate, because they all knew that Ying Zheng was very good at spending money, just as he was very good at stealing money. For the matter of spending money, there is only enough to gain. Ying Zheng has always been very generous.

Sure enough, I only heard Ying Zheng say: "When the ten million yuan is distributed, it will eventually return to the treasury of the Qin State. However, in the process of distributing the money, countless people can benefit from it. This kind of thing is still done, besides, these people have built the road system with tens of thousands of miles in the territory of Qin State, so it is nothing to give them a mere [-] million yuan, if it is replaced by labor service If it is built, then there are many things that can be solved with [-] million yuan." Ying Zheng said.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had made his position clear, Wang Wan naturally didn't say anything more. He just raised the questions that should be raised as the position of Zhisu Neishi. As for the other things, it is not up to him to decide, nor changed.

While discussing the time to release the prisoners of war in Xianyang Palace, in a house near Xianyang Palace, Prince Chu, Sikong Wei Yong of Wei, and Crown Prince Yandan of Yan gathered together.

The state of Qin did not follow the traditional practice of arranging the envoys of various countries separately, so as to prevent the envoys of various countries from exchanging information and connecting them in series, but placed them together unconventional.

While this surprised the three of them, two more excited ones.

Regardless of whether Qin Guo arranged them together due to negligence or other reasons, it was a good thing for Yan Dan and Lu Chu.

"Yan Dan has met Young Master Ling Chu, Wei Sikong." Yan Dan, who took the initiative to invite Wei Yong and Ling Chu to his residence, greeted the two of them.

"The prince invited me here, but for the sake of our prisoners of war from the Three Kingdoms?" Ling Chu, who was nearly forty years old, asked Yan Dan impatiently like a young man.

"Exactly. I don't know what the young master and Wei Sikong think about the next thing?" Yan Dan asked.

"Naturally, we want Qin to return the prisoners of war of our three kingdoms as promised. If we knew that Qin had used hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war to build roads, we would never have agreed to pay half of the money for Qin. It’s money and food.” Lie Chu said regretfully.

Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war are hundreds of thousands of labor force. Qin only pays half of the money and food for these prisoners of war to use their strength to the limit.

You must know that these prisoners of war can be used throughout the year, and if they are normally enlisted for labor in their own country, they can only be used during the slack season, and the time that can be really used for labor in a year is only three or four months. .

If Qin State uses its own labor force, then Qin State will at least need to expropriate several times the labor force and pay a higher price.

However, in fact, it took the Qin State only five years to build a chi road system with a total mileage of tens of thousands of miles in the territory of the Qin State without increasing the labor of the people of the Qin State. These people never thought of it.

This kind of thing is also something they regret. If they had known the current consequences in advance, the Three Kingdoms would not have signed such a contract with Qin in any case.

There are only hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war. Although population is an extremely precious resource, it is also a renewable resource. Five years is enough for the three countries to make up for the lack of population caused by these prisoners of war.

But for the three of them right now, the fact that Qin has completed the construction of the nationwide chi road system at the lowest cost is irreversible. What they can do is to bring their own prisoners of war back to their own country as much as possible, so that they can Try to make up for the losses of the Three Kingdoms in this matter.

"It's meaningless to say these things now. What we should consider is whether we can successfully bring back the prisoners of war in our country." Wei Yong said.

"Yeah, how do you bring it back? Are they willing to spit out the fat that has been eaten by tigers and wolves?" Yan Dan revealed a distressed expression while speaking.

"The King of Qin will never go back on his word." But Xiang Chu didn't care much about Yan Dan's worries.

"Could it be that you have forgotten about King Huai, the ancestor of Chu? Could it be that you have forgotten King Zhaoxiang of Qin?" Yan Dan said to Negative Chu.

"Yandan, you..." Hearing the words, his face turned red. King Huai of Chu was tricked into Qin by King Zhaoxiang of Qin and never returned. Unforgettable shame.

"Don't be angry, Mr. Chu, I didn't mean to mock Chu and Mr. Chu, just to remind Mr. Qin that it's not just once or twice that Qin doesn't speak his mind. In this respect, Qin is a habitual offender. " Yan Dan said sincerely
For a moment, Negative Chu didn't know what to say, because Yan Dan seemed to have good intentions.
