Chapter 793: Life and Death
In Qingji's view, the sooner the Dujiangyan project in Shu is completed, the better. 幰
It only takes a suitable time for the state of Wu to send troops to destroy Shu and fight down.
"My lord, the minister has another thing to do."
"Please."
Ji Ran said slowly: "The Kunlun slaves of my Wu country are increasing day by day. The minister conducted a census half a year ago, and now there are more than 700,000 Kunlun slaves in the country!"
"All kinds of projects in the country, such as straightways, galloping roads, palaces, canals, embankments, cities, etc., are all in place, and there is no need for such manpower."
"The minister thought that the king could sell the Kunlun slaves and make them live among the people, or return them to their freedom, distribute houses, land, farm tools, seeds, etc., and rent farming cattle so that they could settle down in the state of Wu."
This matter was once again put on the agenda. 幰
As early as two years ago, the monarchs and ministers of Wu discussed the issue of how to settle the Kunlun slaves, and finally decided to go as usual and try their best to find work for the Kunlun slaves.
The fate of Kunlun Nu is generally extremely tragic.
They were only used as official slaves and servitude.
Every year, every three or five times, tens of thousands of Kunlun slaves will take the big ship of the Wu fleet, drift all the way across the sea, and come to the territory of Wu State, just like the little piglets that 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. 幰
So much so that when the bridge was being repaired and paved, a lot of Kunlun slaves were tired and fell to death......
"No."
Prime Minister Zuo retorted: "The king once said, 'If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Kunlun Nu is no more difficult to educate, and he has always been hostile to my Wu Kingdom."
"If you give back the freedom of the Kunlun slaves, treat them as countrymen, and give them the treatment they deserve, I am afraid that the well-fed Kunlun slaves will cause chaos and increase killing."
"As for selling the Kunlun Nu, although it can increase some revenue for the treasury, there is no guarantee that the Kunlun Nu will not dare to make a mistake and cause turmoil in the country!"
After a pause, Wen Chong bowed to Qingji again and said, "King, my Wu country does not raise idlers, and the minister thinks that if there are idle Kunlun slaves, they can move to the Western Regions to reclaim the border!"
Western regions? 幰
Is the genre serious?
Not to mention that so many Kunlun slaves will do things in the Western Regions and cause rebellion.
Qing Ji had no intention of developing the Western Regions at all.
Because, for Wu Guo, the Western Regions does not have development value!
If you must choose a place to let the Kunlun slaves reclaim the tuntian, Qingji must choose the six counties of Lingnan.
"Prime Minister Zuo's words are wrong."
Ji Ran said lightly: "The Western Regions is an enclave of my Wu country, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is barren, and it is a real barren land. It is said that there is yellow sand everywhere!" 幰
"Not to mention that the land in the Western Regions is difficult to cultivate, with so many Kunlun slaves, it is impossible for the Qin people to borrow the way."
Ji Ran told the truth.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions is equivalent to the "Special Administrative Region" of the State of Wu.
The use value is not too big, and it is better than nothing. ….
"If the king wants to make the idle Kunlun Nutun reclaim the border, why not send them all to Lingnan?"
"No!"
Wen Chong retorted: "Now the road leading to Lingnan in my Wu country is unimpeded. However, after all, it is a long way to go, and people's hearts are unpredictable, and if the Kunlun slaves gather together, they will inevitably cause trouble!" 幰
The genre seems to be on the same page as Ji Ran.
However, this is exactly what Qingji wants to see.
If the first and second leaders of the administration under his rule are harmonious and intimate, it is estimated that Qingji will also have suspicions in his heart.
On the issue of treating Kunlun Nu, the genre is the same as Ji Ran.
that
is to find a way to send away Kunlun Nu!
After all, if the Kunlun slaves didn't produce, wouldn't Wu raise them for nothing?
Qingji thought for a while, and then said: "The widow's intentions, if there are idle Kunlun slaves, all of them will be transferred to Jinling to build a mausoleum for the widow." 幰
"The king is wise!"
The ministers agreed.
Qingji wants to build a mausoleum that is ancient and shining, just like the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in history, for future generations to admire......
Since the Kunlun slaves are free, why not take advantage of it?
"The King."
Ji Ran suddenly said: "Among the Kunlun slaves, there are many women and children, and the ministers think that these Kunlun slaves should be peddled!"
"Good." 幰
For this kind of thing, Qingji naturally knows.
The Kunlun slaves of Wu are mainly from the islands of the southeastern Ya, and there are Japanese people, Malays, Javanese people, etc., who are dark-skinned, short-stated, and skinny.
However, as a free laborer, Qingji doesn't mind catching them all back and working day and night.
Among them, there are old and infirm, women and children.
Although Qingji has not seen it with his own eyes, he has heard of it.
Every time the fleet of Wu State sailed, it would wash the barbarian tribes it encountered with blood, and try to keep it alive.
Wu Jun usually arrests young people who are strong and strong, and he may spare the old and weak women and children...... 幰
Because of the previous Kunlun slaves, their role was limited to serving in the state of Wu.
And once Qingji decided to peddle the women and children in the Kunlun slaves, in the end, it is very likely that the islands in Southeast Asia will be sparsely populated and gray-haired old people.
Or even a desert island!
However, this is not something that Qingji should care about.
Many years later, these Kunlun slaves would be assimilated by the Wu people and become part of China.
It's just that at this stage, Qingji still needs them to continue to "shine" for Wu Guo!
"The King." 幰
At this time, the great Sima Wu Zixu came out and said: "Two months ago, in the riot in Hanzhong County, the Kunlun slaves who plundered the grain transportation team have been captured, how will the king be dispatched?"
"How many are there?"
"Nearly six thousand."
「……」
The Kunlun Nu riot was already common in Wu.
It's just that the nature of the last Kunlun Nu riot incident was too bad.
When the Chinese coalition army and the Persians launched the final decisive battle, the Kunlun slaves, who were responsible for transporting the grain and baggage, suddenly rioted, killed the soldiers who supervised the transportation, and then robbed the grain and the baggage and absconded. 幰
This directly caused Keiji to take a risk and have a "fair fight" with Darius I.
Such a Kunlun slave, how can it not be a heinous crime?
"Kill."
After a long time, Qingji's mouth lightly spit out a word, which made people shudder.
Life and death are snatched, and celebration is in a word.
What Qingji wants to do is to make an example of one hundred and use blood to deter other Kunlun slaves.
As for the six thousand Kunlun slaves, Qingji still didn't take it to heart. 幰
Their value is estimated to be less than tens of thousands of sheep and thousands of cattle!
"No!"
Wu Zixu immediately agreed.
