Chapter 443: A Different Way
The survival rate of prisoners of war is half and half, which is understandable.
In ancient times, transportation was not convenient, there was no Geneva Treaty, and prisoners of war were basically equivalent to livestock in the eyes of the Tang army, and there were no human rights at all.
A slight stumble on the road affected the progress of the whole team, maybe they would be cut down by the generals and thrown into the woods, not to mention the food and sleep all the way, the sick, the injured and the hungry, as long as there was something wrong with the body, it was basically a death.
In this era, the migration of prisoners of war was much more cruel than that of exiled prisoners, and prisoners were escorted thousands of miles away, and there were still some human rights on the way.
Prisoners of war are different, they are not even as good as livestock, Datang slaughtered cattle for three years without permission, and slaughtered prisoners of war? In the clear.
Liu Renyuan can give Li Qinzai the remaining half of his life, which is actually very kind.
"Liu Duhu has worked hard all the way, and he also invited the hall to sit high, tolerate the officials and treat each other with wine, and wash the dust for Liu Duhu." Li Qinzai warmly invited Liu Renyuan to the door.
Liu Renyuan is not hypocritical, even if he walks into the other courtyard proudly.
After a banquet, under Li Qinzai's deliberate friendship, Liu Ren's attitude towards him became closer and closer.
Of course, the reason for the closeness is not this banquet, in fact, Liu Ren is willing to envy and respect Li Qinzai.
After the Battle of Baekjekou, Li Qinzai led more than 6,000 soldiers from Baekje to return to Tang, changed the course of the sea without permission, landed in the Wa Kingdom, destroyed the country, slaughtered its city, Sugong Chamber, and garrisoned the army forever.
This exploit was admired by the generals of the Tang Army, and Liu Renyuan was no exception.
Those who can make such feats not only need extraordinary courage, but also have the psychological preparation to be severely punished.
Liu Renyuan sometimes put himself in his shoes, if he had been ordered to lead these 6,000 soldiers back to Tang, would he have the courage to order the fleet to change course and destroy the Wa Kingdom on the way.
After thinking about it, he still lacked this courage after all, and he was afraid that he would not be able to afford the serious consequences of failure.
At a banquet, Liu Renyuan was slightly drunk, and it was still early, so he said goodbye to Li Qinzai and staggered away with his generals.
More than 1,000 prisoners of war were guarded by the Li family, and Li Qinzai took advantage of a little alcohol to walk outside the door, and couldn't help frowning after looking around at the prisoners of war.
One by one, they were as thin as monkeys, and everyone had vegetables, obviously hungry.
More than 1,000 people quietly squatted in the open space outside the gate of the annex courtyard, attracting onlookers from the villagers, who were talking about the rare animals after hearing that they were prisoners of war from Baekje Province.
The prisoners of war were expressionless, and there was a smell of lifelessness in the crowd, and along the way, they had ignored life and death, and they cared about being watched.
Li Qinzai frowned and said: "Ah Si, take them down to wash them, all the hair on their bodies is shaved, including their hair, don't spread the disease to the villagers, and then let them have a full meal, starting tomorrow, all the things about burning the cement kiln will be handed over to them." ”
Liu Asi received the order and escorted the prisoners of war away with his subordinates.
Before the onlookers dispersed, one farmer hesitated for a long time and stood up and said, "Fifth Shaolang, we can also do the work of kiln burning......
Li Qinzai heard the meaning of his words, and said with a smile: "There is still a lot of work, not bad for this one, as long as you are willing to do it, I guarantee that you can support your family." ”
"The work of burning the kiln should be handed over to the prisoners of war, I won't tell you that burning the cement kiln is very harmful to the body, and you will get tuberculosis in the long run, I can't harm you, but the prisoners of war don't care, this group of people is wasted, it's a big deal to let Baekje send a batch of prisoners of war."
The dealers were stunned, so they saluted and dispersed.

Li Jingxuan is still humbly in front of a doctor in the school.
The responsibilities of the official position of a doctor are a bit messy, not only the responsibility of urging students to correct their learning attitudes, but also coordinating books, arranging teachers' courses, organizing students to debate the scriptures, and so on.
Of course, in the school in Ganjingzhuang, Li Jingxuan's responsibilities are even more messy, there is only one teacher in the school, Li Qinzai, and it is not under his control, half of the students are the children of the powerful, he doesn't dare to care, the rest is only cleaning, supervising three meals, and bowing his head to be a son of a cow.
Speaking of which, Li Jingxuan, a doctor, is really a little aggrieved, a dignified bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion, a former prince attendant, has basically become a security guard and concierge now.
Not only that, but the students didn't take him seriously. There are two princes, two princesses, and the children of various princes and generals in this group of bastards, and Li Jingxuan can't afford to offend anyone.
But Li Jingxuan's forbearance is still quite extraordinary, the students abused him thousands of times, and he fell in love with the students at the beginning.
Li Qinzai has deliberately kept a distance from him in the past few days, which is basically the relationship between Shangguan and his subordinates, not salty or light, the content of the chat is limited to official affairs, and private matters are never mentioned, and they remain polite and alienated from each other.
Li Jingxuan pretended to be wild several times and carried two jars of fine wine to drink with Li Qinzai, but Li Qinzai politely refused.
If you don't know each other, don't force friendship.
Li Jingxuan was not discouraged, and soon he brushed up on his presence again.
Ganjingzhuang School only teaches mathematics, and the students' cultural classes are actually taught to each other by the students of Guozijian, Li Qinzai has never cared much about it, and then Li Jingxuan caught the loophole.
So, on the fourth day of Li Jingxuan's assumption of office, and also the day when Li Qinzai was lazy and absent from class, in the noisy classroom, Li Jingxuan walked in with a copy of "The Book of Rites".
There is no need to apprentice, no need to be restrained, Li Jingxuan seems to be chatting with the students, starting from the beginning of the "Book of Rites", explaining the scriptures and truths in the Book of Rites sentence by sentence in simple language.
Li Sujie and other students are all unruly and unruly, where can they listen to the class? The only place in the classroom that could suppress them was Li Qinzai alone.
Li Jingxuan's lecture was naturally ignored, everyone chatted and slept in the classroom, and some were impatient and even got up and left.
Without the status of teacher and student, Li Jingxuan is just a doctor in the eyes of students, who cares about the six-grade officials?
In the face of the students' indifference, Li Jingxuan didn't mind, he still talked eloquently, and the lecture was vivid and natural, citing the things of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, such as several family treasures, and the content was fascinating.
The gentlemen were impatient to listen, but the students of Guozijian had studied the scriptures and the meaning since they were young, and they were naturally full of thirst for knowledge, so they were quickly attracted by the content of Li Jingxuan's lectures.
In the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, what etiquette should be used for funeral, what etiquette should be used for marriage, from words, food, and sweeping etiquette to official raids, the enthronement of the Son of Heaven, various dynasties, and various etiquette, Li Jingxuan said it in detail and expressively.
Gradually, even the gentlemen quieted down and listened to Li Jingxuan's explanation quietly, and everyone seemed to be hypnotized, their expressions were ethereal, and their thoughts were racing, as if they were brought into the world of great controversy thousands of years ago by Li Jingxuan.
It wasn't until Li Jingxuan closed the book, gently waved at everyone, and then left with a smile, that the students slowly came back to their senses.
The gentlemen gathered together to discuss the content of Li Jingxuan's lecture, and Li Sujie, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly: "It is worthy of being a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion, but there is something, hehe." ”
