After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Hou was also depressed, this can't do it, it doesn't work, so what should I do?

"Prime Minister, what are your good ideas?" Since Zhuge Liang raised this question, it is estimated that he already has a solution in his heart, so Liu Hou asked him directly.

"His Majesty may wish to allow him to keep the captured captives for three months, and during these three months he is not allowed to torture~ the prisoners, and he is not allowed to excessively exploit the captives' labor. After three months, the captives had to be handed over to the imperial court. Zhuge Liang said.

"Okay, then let's do what the prime minister says." Liu Hou slapped the table and agreed with Zhuge Liang's idea.

Zhuge Liang's method is really good, as the so-called being a man and leaving a line, it will be good to see each other in the future, this sentence is suitable for mixing in the rivers and lakes, and it is also suitable for this kind of officialdom. Before, Liu Hou wanted to unconditionally ask all the captives of Gao Ding, that is, to cut off people's wealth and leave no thoughts for people, which was the rhythm of forcing people to rebel.

But the current method is different, Zhuge Liang left Gao Ding with the right to use it for three months. Although three months is a lot less than the original unlimited right to use, it can even be said to be pitiful, but the meaning is completely different.

Because after all, this still leaves a certain profit margin for Gao Ding, and in Gao Ding's view, he still has a chance to make a fortune, and there is no return for nothing. As long as there is still money to be made, no one is willing to give up this opportunity.

No one is willing to embark on the road of no return to rebellion unless it is absolutely necessary. can continue to be an official, hold a heavy army, and at the same time continue to make money, even if it is a little less, many people are still willing to continue to maintain the status quo.

And, as long as the project survives, there will always be opportunities. Smart people can look for loopholes in the rules, and when there is a policy, the people below will always think of corresponding countermeasures.

Maybe he can think of a way, and it may not be necessary to make up for the profits deprived by the imperial court, even if he can't make up for it completely, it would be good to be able to make up for most of it. For example, wouldn't it be possible to keep profits by increasing efforts to capture prisoners, and to bring back a new batch of captives to take their place before they are sent away?

Everyone was wise, and they quickly thought of this method for Gao Ding, of course, this method was only thought of in their hearts, and no one would say it. In fact, they don't need to say it, Gao Ding will think of it sooner or later.

Businessmen who chase profits, like men who cheat, are not IQ below Einstein. As long as they still have a heart to chase profits, no matter how the market fluctuates, they will find ways to adapt to the new market environment.

Liu Hou also praised Zhuge Liang's suggestion, his method will not force Gao Ding, but also indirectly prompt Gao Ding to work hard to expand the territory, which is really a lot of one stone. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhuge Liang was not the only smart person in the world.

Fei Yi and Xu Jing, who were guarding Lingnan, had actually used this method for a long time, and after Gaoding captured those Yi people, they also wanted a lot of them to come over to reclaim plantations, and plant a large amount of grain to supply the Hong army as military rations.

These two smart men did not thirst for fish, but left a chance for Gao Ding, so that he had enough motivation to continue the war and continue to capture prisoners. It's just that they didn't form a system for this matter, after Zhuge Liang mentioned yì this time, Liu Hou went down with a holy decree, and a system was formed: all prisoners, he can only use them for three months, and they must be handed over after three months.

Since then, Gao Ding has been reduced to a cheap thug, like a donkey hanging a carrot in front of him, looking at the carrot every day, screaming and killing those people, opening up territory for the imperial court, and not daring to slack off for a moment.

There's no way, you can't stop, as soon as you stop, his stall business will stop, and those assembly line workers who do piecework will be treated, and their hands will stop.

Everyone had no opinion on Zhuge Liang's suggestion, Liu Hou gave an order, and naturally someone went to draw up the holy decree and implement it. At this time, Sima Yi spoke: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhuge is very good at this method, Weichen Jian yì, and a similar policy is also implemented in the Xianbei people." ”

"Oh? They shouldn't have any problems there, right? Liu Houdao.

"It's okay in the short term, but after a long time, I'm afraid that there will be problems." Sima Yi said.

"Why did Sima Aiqing say that?"

"The ideas of the Xianbei people and the Han people are very different, in the words of His Majesty, the values are very different. Their concept of family and country is very weak, they do not have much sense of honor to serve the court, the country, and the Son of Heaven, and the reason why they fight is entirely for interests.

As long as they can grab the goods, women, and slaves, they can go out of their way to kill the enemy, and if there is no benefit, it will be difficult for anyone to drive them. Therefore, even if the Xianbei nobles want to drive those Xianbei people to fight, they must give them enough benefits.

The Xianbei people are generally poor, and even the Xianbei nobles don't have much food, so how do they drive the warriors of the clan to fight? It's by seizure! They would use their brains in the distribution of their captures, and in general, only a small portion of the goods captured by the fighters would be handed over, and most of them could be kept on their own.

This is a very generous reward system, and one hit of the grass valley is enough for them to enjoy comfortably for a long time. Under such a reward system, those Xianbei people will all invade our Han realm like crazy, burn, kill and loot. Therefore, every time these alien races enter the Koukou, they return with a full load, and they capture countless amounts of money and tens of thousands of Han people. ”

"Hmph, dogs can't change their eating ~, sooner or later I will have to make all the steppe robbers pay, whether it is Xianbei, Karasuma or Turkic. Now that they are prisoners, don't they have the consciousness of prisoners? Do they still dare to fight the idea of loot? If that were the case, I wouldn't mind erasing this race from the world. ”

"Uh" Sima Yi didn't expect Liu Hou to lose his temper so much, and let out cruel words, hiding his embarrassment by coughing, and then continued as if he hadn't heard the little emperor's words: "In the concept of the Xianbei people, whoever grabs something is who's own, and whoever captures the enemy, then that captive becomes someone's slave."

In their eyes, this is a matter of course. If we take all their loot, they will surely be resentful. Now that they have not been taking refuge in us for a long time, they also know very well the strength of our Han army, and they dare not make any changes.

However, in the long run, when this discontent slowly accumulated, when the imperial court relaxed its management of them, they would inevitably wait for an opportunity to cause chaos. In this case, it is better to give them a little sweetness and tie them firmly to our chariots. ”
