Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 253 War Compensation

South Korea is no better than Qin State. I heard that after fighting for so long, no one was killed in battle. On the contrary, it was my own side who was beaten to death. Some people said that South Korea attacked Qin innocently, which had already hurt Tianhe, so Qin Jun did not One soldier was wounded, but South Korea's own army was repeatedly defeated.

Some people even wrote a letter asking South Korea to give up the country to Qin. Of course, this kind of brain damage was finally dominated by the angry South Korean lord.

After Li Jiyang heard about it, he couldn't straighten his back with laughter: "The lord of Korea is too funny, he sent troops even though he knew he couldn't beat him, what's wrong with his head?"

"I think it's not that there's something wrong with his head, or that there's something wrong with it." Ying Zheng looked at a very abstract map: "South Korea is too small, but he dared to bark his teeth at me, Da Qin. Who gave him the courage?"

Li Jiyang stopped laughing: "You mean, someone encouraged you?"

"It may also be their own thinking. After all, the lord of the country has not yet taken charge of the government. In another year, you may be able to take charge of the government. If you don't take advantage of this time to send troops, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." Gan Lei also has his own opinion.

"That's right. If you miss this opportunity, you will definitely regret it when you look back." Qin Guo has never been bullied since he became one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Every time he fights, he can learn from others. Biting off a piece of land depends entirely on the size of the opponent, and South Korea has been bitten... Who made South Korea so close to Qin!

"South Korea's envoys for peace will arrive tomorrow. I don't know how the lord wants to deal with it?" Gan Lei asked Ying Zheng.

"It's impossible to change back the thirteen cities, and let South Korea die; the rest, Zheng hasn't thought about it yet." Since the beginning of spring, Yingzheng has called himself "Zheng" in front of familiar people. He still calls himself a "widow" in front of people.

In the past, he used to call himself "Zheng'er" and "Zheng" in front of familiar people, which meant that he had grown up and was no longer a child.

This modification of small details did not arouse objections from others, only Lu Buwei felt a little uncomfortable.

"Then let's talk to everyone today!" Gan Lei felt that this matter could not be done by himself and Ying Zheng alone, and he had to work together.

So the topic of the House of Representatives today is how to deal with South Korea.

"The thirteen cities in South Korea will not be returned, and a separate county will be established there in the future!" Lu Buwei is worthy of being a prime minister, and some things can still keep up with the formalities. Once he opened his mouth, others did not object.

And this is also in line with Ying Zheng's mind.

"According to what Xiangguo said, set up a separate county to manage the thirteen cities." Yingzheng finally gave Lu Buwei a smile in the political hall.

Seeing that Lu Buwei took the lead, Wang Wan said, unwilling to be lonely: "I still want South Korea to pay tribute, money and treasures, beauties, fragrant cars, cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs."

"Is Daqin still lacking something?" Li Si objected, thinking that this would lose the status of a big country. South Korea is so small, but Qin is so big, so why do we need his things?

"How can you not?" Li Jiyang, who was silent, said at this moment: "Not only want, but also want a lot!"

"What's the way?" Ying Zheng was curious, Li Jiyang didn't speak easily, and there must be his reason for speaking suddenly.

Li Si's face changed. The reason why he said he didn't want anything was actually a little selfish. If he could make Qin's name more noble, wouldn't it be a good thing for the people of Qin?

The fact that Qin State cares about reputation is nothing more than the fact that all countries look down on Qin State's origin, and Qin State's behavior of killing donkeys, so that Qin State now loves its own reputation a little pathologically.

"You don't need money to fight?" Li Jiyang said with a matter of course: "First of all, my Qin soldiers are injured, so they are not allowed to pay for medical expenses? They need money for food and water, so can they be given some food and grass? Give some hard work fee; we won the battle, and they lost, so they have to give some money, right? Taken together, this is called the defeat compensation.”

Shameless!

Shameless!

If you lose, you have to give money to so many names!

"Okay!" But Ying Zheng likes it!

"That's right, my Daqin soldiers can't just win a fight and be done with it, they need to be rewarded!" Old General Wang Jaw recovered and continued to court.

The old general doesn't have to do anything, he comes here comfortably every day, and walks happily, he doesn't need to talk too much, as long as he sits there, the entire military system of the Qin Dynasty will run smoothly, and no one dares to provoke .

Today, I wanted to sit there comfortably, eat delicious fruit, and listen to them chatting about government affairs, but when it came to the war, the old general opened his mouth.

"Please tell me, Qin Anjun, how do you ask for money? Can you give the soldiers some practical benefits?" As a veteran in the army, General Wang Jaw's words were straightforward and transparent.

"Of course!" Li Jiyang said: "Every soldier should have a piece of cloth, a grain of grain, a knife coin, and ten won coins. No cloth coins, ant nose coins."

"Dao coin" refers to the knife-shaped copper coin popular in Qi, Yan, Zhao, Zhongshan and other places.

"Cloth coins" refer to copper coins in the form of fighting (money, shovel) popular in Zhou, Zheng, Wei, Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, Chu and other places.

"Huanqian" refers to the round-shaped copper coins popular in Qin, Zhou, Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, Qi and other places. "Ant nose coin (turtle shell)" refers to the copper coin popular in Chu State.

In this case, it can stimulate the circulation of Qin's coins and get a fortune in foreign exchange.

"For this great victory, the rewards can be divided according to the meritorious service of our Qin army. There are twice as many officials as soldiers, twice as many officials as officials, and twice as many hairpins as officials, and so on until the top. " Li Jiyang talked eloquently: "This is the military exploit of my country, Qin. Since South Korea is defeated, it should look like a defeated country."

"In addition to this, there is also war compensation. Qin cannot be beaten for no reason, and ten thousand gold is used to offset South Korea's guilt of provoking Qin." Li Jiyang immediately opened his mouth.

The military merits of the Qin State are divided into [-] levels, starting from the lowest public official, Shangzao, Zaniao, Bugeng, Dafu, Gongdafu, Guandafu, Gongcheng, Wudafu, Zuo Shuchang, You Shuchang, Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng, You Geng, Shao Shang Zao, Da Shang Zao, Si Che Shu Chang, Da Che Shu Chang, all the way to the highest Guanneihou and Chehou.

Even if the official wants a piece of cloth, a stone of grain, a knife coin, and ten won coins, it is the same as an ordinary soldier.

But when it came to Shangzao, it became two bolts of cloth, two stone grains, two knife coins, and twenty won coins.

When it comes to the hairpin curling, it becomes four pieces of cloth, four stone grains, four knife coins, and forty won coins.

And when it's time to change, it's eight bolts of cloth, eight stone grains, eight dao coins, and eighty won coins.

There are also doctors, sixteen bolts of cloth, sixteen stone grains, sixteen knife coins, and 160 won coins.

The public doctor will have 32 pieces of cloth, 32 stone grains, 32 dao coins, and 320 yuan coins!

Official officials are 64 pieces of cloth, 64 stone grains, 64 knife coins, and 640 won coins!

The public ride is 120 eight pieces of cloth, 120 eight stone grains, 120 eight knives, and 280 won coins!

On top of the public vehicle, there are five doctors, that is, 250 six pieces of cloth, 250 six stone grains, 250 six knives, and 560 won coins.

There are Zuo Shuchang, Right Shuchang, Zuo Geng, Zhong Geng, Right Geng....

Everyone curled up at the little things Li Jiyang asked for at the beginning, which was too little.

In their eyes, what is a piece of cloth?A knife coin is probably the cost of a meal.

Everyone just saw that Li Jiyang asked for a base of one, double that is two, and double that is four.

But they didn't calculate it carefully. After Li Jiyang told them a lot of war compensation due to various levels, everyone was already dumbfounded!

Especially Lu Buwei, it was the first time he knew how to make money in war!

After the final calculation, Li Jiyang himself was surprised!

"South Korea, can you pay for it?" Gan Lei reminded everyone in a low voice: "Then order a place."

What they want is happy, what if they can't give it?

Do you still want to fight?

Now is not the time to fight!

"It's good if you can't pay it!" Li Jiyang slapped his thigh: "You can use someone to pay for it!"

"Who is it?" Everyone said in unison, who is so valuable?

"Han Feizi!" Li Jiyang showed a big smile: "What is the most valuable in this era? Talent!"

"Han Feizi?" Wang Wan muttered, "Why isn't she a Korean princess?"

According to the habits of this era, it is usually the prince or prince who is mortgaged, and the worst is the princess.

Who is Han Feizi?

Never heard of it!

Only Li Si, when he heard the word "Han Feizi", his surprised eyes flashed away.

"What's he doing?" Old General Wang Jaw was upset, what was this man doing?So valuable, can it top the bill?

"It's a talent!" Li Jiyang told the old general Wang Zhe.

"But we want talents, but we don't have money." Li Si said from the side, "This is too unfair to the army." Li Si seized this opportunity and began to show his favor to the army.

Another reason he couldn't tell was that he didn't want Han Feizi to come to Qin.

He admitted that he was jealous. Han Feizi had a good background and a good education, and his husband liked him even though he had a stuttering problem.

All the generals glanced at Li Si. They were all soldiers who had actually been on the battlefield. The cold breath swept away and almost froze Li Si to death!

And Li Jiyang grinned: "I haven't finished what I mean."

Li Si smiled, but a little reluctantly.

Li Jiyang knew the history. Li Si was too conceited and jealous to tolerate others. In history, it was because he was too jealous of Han Feizi's talent that he killed Han Feizi in prison.

Now that Li Jiyang is here, Han Feizi will never die under Li Si's jealousy!

Ying Zheng also noticed that Li Si didn't seem to want Xiao Yang to do this.

In view of the relationship that "the enemy of an enemy is a friend", Ying Zheng said: "Then what does Qin Anjun want to do?"

"It can be exchanged!" Li Jiyang said: "For example, if I want the talent of Han Feizi, and South Korea offers Han Feizi a hundred shi of grain, then I will give [-] shi of grain in exchange for Han Feizi."

"Is this okay?" Old General Wang Jaw had never heard of such a method.

"This is called erasing accounts!" Li Jiyang told them: "Debts can be transferred. If the old general wants a Korean princess to be his concubine, it's okay. The Korean princess can pay three hundred gold, and you pay three hundred gold." , the Korean princess will be your concubine!"

Everyone laughed after hearing this!

Although this analogy is inappropriate, but who makes people listen to such a relief!

So they all passed Qin Anjun's proposal, it's so good, it will kill South Korea!

After the proposal was approved, Li Jiyang began to make a plan on the spot. First of all, the base number cannot be mortgaged with things or talents. "What does the base number mean?" Old General Wang Jaw didn't understand.

"It's the most basic amount, that is, each person in the army needs a piece of cloth, a stone grain, a knife coin, and ten won coins. No cloth coins, ant nose coins." Li Jiyang introduced: "Starting from the official, until the end What’s more, it’s not allowed. When you become a doctor, you can use people or things to cover the debt. But, you can also score if you use things to offset the debt. We want talents, but people, don’t!”

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback.

"If South Korea sends one hundred and eighty princesses, each worth three hundred gold, who will we ask for the compensation of ten thousand gold?" Li Jiyang rolled his eyes: "We have to prevent them from fooling around with us!"

Everyone roared with laughter again!

In today's Yizheng Hall, there was loud laughter from time to time, which made the imperial guards standing guard outside no longer have a straight face.

Together with the ministers, Li Jiyang formulated a series of conditions to prevent South Korea from taking advantage of loopholes.

This is the earliest recorded terms and conditions on war compensation issues in history, and it was hailed as "the first rule of war compensation" by later generations.
