Chapter 1466: The People's Non-Cooperation
"Isn't this a bit reckless, at this stage we don't have absolute control here, according to our investigation, many people still have a lot of hostility towards us, these days on the logistics transport team, there are still some people who deliberately pointed us to the wrong way, so that our people have caused a lot of losses."
When Huo Qubing spoke, the eldest Sun Ze next to him also nodded, the local people really don't have anything to do with us, even if we don't treat them well, but in the eyes of these Vietnamese, we are also real invaders.
"There is also the fight against those people in the mountains, I think it is unlikely, according to the information I have received, many sons of Vietnamese people around are in the mountains, if it is not for our blockade is relatively tight, these people will even send supplies to the mountains, can they help us in this case?"
Changsun Ze added another piece of news, in short, it means a meaning, that is, if you want to recruit a servant army among the surrounding people, and then let them attack the people in the mountains and forests, this is basically whimsical, and it is also unlikely, maybe you will have to move a stone to shoot yourself in the foot later.
Li Xiang understood what they were talking about, of course, but now the whole army was at a loss, and if it was to wait until after the rainy season was over, then I don't know when, in case we hadn't figured out a good way by then, or if they were too big to start while we were stopping.
If that were the case, we would have missed an opportunity, and given them a chance, which would be a big hole in our plan to unify South Asia.
"I understand what you two are saying, but I also have my own thoughts, have you ever thought of another possibility, that is, we increase the proportion of the bounty, if someone can kill a person from the mountain, then we can reward thirty yuan, or even a thousand catties of rice."
When Li Xiang's words were finished, the two of them stopped their movements in an instant, staring at Li Xiang with two eyes, if they could really give so much money, there would be a brave man under the heavy reward, but did we pay too much?
"At present, there are still a lot of people in the mountains, and there are many people who go in to join them, if I guess correctly, there must be at least about 20,000 people, and if one person gives 30 yuan, it will be 6 million yuan."
This amount of money is definitely not a small number, take the Jiangnan area of the Tang Dynasty as an example, it can provide these taxes in about a year, if we really do this, I am afraid that it will give us a huge financial crisis.
"Money may not work, or we will use food, anyway, we have food, a head for a thousand catties of rice, these people should be willing."
Li Xiang's words made the other two nod, an adult will consume less than three hundred catties of grain a year, if you can give a thousand catties, it is equivalent to making an appointment for three years of rations for a person in advance, and now these people's lives are relatively difficult, once you offer this price, someone will definitely go in to work.
"Otherwise, let's try it first, anyway, we can't open the situation now, I think it's better to use 800 catties first, there is no need to give them 1,000 catties, these people around are already poor and can't open the pot, 800 catties of grain is a sky-high price for these people, and we can save 200 catties alone."
Changsun Ze thought about it and said, kill a Vietnamese soldier and give a thousand catties of food, such a reward can also be said to have never been over, if it is really good, there is a lot of payment to Datang, then it is better to save two hundred catties directly, don't underestimate these two hundred catties of grain, if this matter is really lively, it can save Datang several state taxes.
"You'd better pull it down, do you know what this is for the family to do? This is a betrayal of one's own country, a betrayal of one's own compatriots, a betrayal of one's own army, if there are not enough interests, normal people probably will not do such a thing, only those who are about to starve to death will take risks, so I said that a thousand catties is a thousand catties, you hurry up and spread this matter, and arrange for our people to drag two corpses out of the mountains, let them disguise themselves as Vietnamese people, give them money on the spot, if you still don't believe it, you go to buy Vietnamese people. ”
In the matter of acting, if Li Xiang admits the second, I'm afraid no one will admit the first, this matter Li Xiang has already decided, no matter what happens next, let's go down this path first, after all, there is no other strategy during this time, instead of being drenched in rain every day here, it is better to give full play to the advantages in our hands and use food to let these people work for us.
The two of them immediately went out to convey the order, and the Huaihua girl had been listening to it all the time, and after hearing Li Xiang's order, she was also surprised in her heart, she had long heard that our Highness was smart, but I didn't expect our Highness to be so courageous, a thousand catties of grain for a human life, and it was a shame that His Highness could think of it, especially in such a poor place as Vietnam.
When the news spread, many Vietnamese scolded in their own villages, they were still some patriots, when the Tang army left, they immediately scolded Li Xiang's ancestors for eight generations, and wanted to use a thousand catties of grain to let us betray the country, you really see us as too simple.
Some people also scolded casually, but their eyes kept rolling, although they didn't want to betray their country, but the whole family was about to run out of food, and not everyone in Vietnam could eat enough, most people had two meals a day, and they had to eat tree bark for two months a year.
They have also seen those armies in the mountains, basically they are all yellow-faced and thin, and the people outside are almost unable to survive, not to mention that they are people in the mountains, if a few people cooperate, they may really be able to kill two, one person is a thousand catties of food, at least they can survive in the past few months.
As for those who are more ruthless, after going back that night, they have already begun to contact the people under them, and we are all about to lose our lives, so what do we care about so much? Now that we have such a way to live, we must seize it, or your whole family will go to the Hades Palace to meet.
