Chapter 666: Building the Mausoleum of King Wu

These hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves were only used as official slaves and labor.

Every year, every three or five times, tens of thousands of Kunlun slaves will take the big ship of the Wu fleet, all the way across the ocean, and come to the territory of the Wu country, just like the little piglets who have been caught.

Kunlun Nu's task was to help Wu build various large-scale projects as free labor.

For example, in the current huge territory of the Wu Kingdom, most of the straight roads and loose roads that extend in all directions were built by Kunlun Nu.

The dirty work is all done by Kunlun slaves.

So much so that when the bridge was being built and paved, there were at least tens of thousands of Kunlun slaves who were tired to death and fell to death.

It's inevitable.

"Arrange the hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves to Hanzhong County, Wuling County, and Nanjun first, and continue to build straight roads and galloping roads, and we must complete them as soon as possible."

"No!"

Ji Ran agreed, but frowned again and said, "King, there are so many Kunlun slaves, I'm afraid it's just these projects, and they can't be consumed!" ”

"Please ask the king for a long-term plan......"

A long-term solution?

In this regard, Qingji didn't think about it.

After all, hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves can't let them relax.

Once the Kunlun slaves are awakened and become comfortable, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble to the Wu State.

"King!"

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo said: "The minister thinks that although Kunlun Nu is a foreigner, his previous life is like my Chinese ancestors, slash-and-burn farming, Ru Mao drinking blood, but it can be changed!" ”

"Why doesn't the king be considerate of these Kunlun slaves, and after they complete their labor, distribute houses, farm tools, and cultivated land, and organize households to gather the people, so that they will become the Li Shu of my Wu country?"

"Everything is made from scratch, with the culture of my Wu country, the long-standing culture of China, it is not impossible to assimilate Kunlun slaves!"

Hearing this, Qingji fell into deep thought and did not speak.

"Father, my son thinks otherwise!"

Gongzi Heng stood up with a tooth wat in his hand, bowed to Qingji, and said loudly: "A slave is a slave after all!" My country of Wu is still in the period of expanding its territory, and it needs a large number of laborers and people to supply the state for recruitment! ”

"Kunlun Nu, for my Wu country, it is free labor, and it only needs to take care of two full meals, which is enough!"

"That's why, Erchen thinks that these hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves can be kept temporarily for later use!"

"No!"

Tingwei Deng Xi retorted: "I, Wu State, don't raise idlers!" This is what the king said, for the system of my Wu country, it cannot be easier, and it should be the ancestral system in the future! ”

"Now my Wu country can use Kunlun slaves, but can it be used in the future?"

"The king, for the sake of today's plan, the minister thinks that when the time is right, the Kunlun slaves will be sold out for the benefit of the country!"

As soon as he heard this, Wen Chong immediately shook his head and said, "Ting Wei's words are wrong! ”

"With the current financial resources of my Wu country, the treasury is full, why use Kunlun slaves to make profits? This is a small profit, not enough to worry about it! ”

Above the court, the vast majority of the ministers and doctors had a heated discussion around the question of whether the Kunlun slaves should be properly placed or raised first.

The proper placement of Kunlun slaves would obviously cost Wu hundreds of thousands of free laborers.

If you raise hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves first, it will add pressure to the country's finances, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

As for what Deng Xi advocated, it is also inappropriate to sell Kunlun slaves......

"The king, the minister has a countermeasure!"

At this moment, as the uncle of the Imperial History, he smiled shyly and bowed to Qingji.

"Say."

"King, since you are worried that those hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves have nothing to do, and then something happens, why don't you let them have something to do all the time?"

Hearing this, Qing Ji squinted his eyes and asked, "Bo Yu, tell me carefully." ”

"No!"

Bo Yan said angrily: "The king, the minister thinks that the king has won the three emperors and surpassed the five emperors, and he is really a saint who has not been born through the ages, a generation of heavenly pride!" ”

Not surprisingly, Bo Yu was routine, first patted Qingji's ass, flattered him, and then said his countermeasures.

"The emperors of ancient and modern times all have mausoleums, or simple funerals, or heavy funerals."

"The minister thinks that death is like life!"

"Although the king abolished the system of human martyrdom, he must not be sloppy after his death!"

After a pause, Bo Yan smiled flatteringly and said, "Why doesn't the king build his own mausoleum with Kunlun slaves?" ”

"If there are hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves for labor, coupled with the financial and material resources of my Wu country, we will definitely be able to build a glorious underground mausoleum comparable to the royal capital within ten years!"

"This tomb of King Wu will inevitably be sung for future generations!"

"Only such a mausoleum can be worthy of the divine power of the king and the merit of the king!"

"Please King Mingjian!"

"Shhh

As soon as they heard this, all the ministers and doctors present couldn't help but gasp and feel shocked.

If, according to Bo Ng's statement, hundreds of thousands of laborers are mobilized to build a mausoleum of King Wu, not to mention the cost of labor and money, how long will it take?

With the material and financial resources of the Wu State today, plus hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves as manpower, it is indeed enough for Qingji to build an unprecedented mausoleum......

Although the ministers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say it bluntly in front of Qingji.

To be honest, Qingji is quite moved by Bo Yan's proposition.

The terracotta warriors and horses of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, as one of the eight wonders of the world, how can it not make people yearn for it?

It's just that it's really good to waste all manpower on Qingji's personal desires?

More on that later!

More on that later!

Qingji must restrain himself now.

After secretly stabilizing his mind, Qingji waved his hand and said vigorously: "The widow's mausoleum has already started construction, but there is no need to spend so much time and abuse the people's power......"

In fact, the ancient emperors had already started to build their own mausoleums during their lifetimes.

The scale is large and small, and in addition to the personal needs of the emperor, there is also the question of time, as well as the ...... of national strength

Qingji is now less than thirty-nine years old, in the prime of life, why worry about dying prematurely?

If Qingji suddenly falls ill and dies, he can "live" in the mausoleum that has been built a long time ago......

"For those hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves, if there is really no labor, there is nothing to do. When farm tools, ploughing cattle, and resettlement houses are given, then, from generation to generation, children and grandchildren, are all slaves, and unless they have made war exploits for the country, they cannot be separated from slavery! ”

"King Shengming!"

Qingji made such a decision purely for the sake of the future of the Wu Kingdom.

He wants to get these hundreds of thousands of Kunlun slaves to work for free for the Wu State, but he doesn't give some benefits, how can he make it?

If you want the horses to run, you can't stop the horses from grazing!

As for the Kunlun slaves, who are equivalent to second-class nationals, will there be a slave rebellion that will sweep the whole country after they take root and survive in Wu......

This is not something that Qingji has to think about right now!
