Chapter 1465 The people’s lack of cooperation

"Isn't this a bit reckless? We don't have absolute control here at this stage. According to our investigation, many people are still very hostile to us. In the past few days, some people on the logistics transport team have deliberately We pointed the wrong way and caused a lot of damage to our people."

When Huo Qubing was talking, Chang Sunze next to him also nodded. The local people really didn't get along with us at all. Even if we didn't do anything to them, in the eyes of these Vietnamese, we are still real. of intruders.

"There is also the fight against those people in the mountains. I think it is impossible. According to the information I have received, many Vietnamese sons are in the mountains. If our blockade was not tight, these people would even send supplies to the mountains. Supplies, can you help us in this situation?”

Changsun Ze added another piece of news, which in short means one thing, that is, he wants to recruit servants from the surrounding people, and then let them launch attacks on the people in the mountains and forests. This is basically whimsical, and it is not very common. It's possible that you may have to shoot yourself in the foot later.

Of course Li Xiang understands what they are saying, but now the entire army is at a loss. If we wait until after the rainy season is over, then we don’t know when. What if by that time, we haven’t figured out a good way? Or maybe their scale of attack increased while we were parked.

If this is the case, we will have missed an opportunity and given them an opportunity. This will be a big pitfall for our plan to unify South Asia.

"I understand what you two said, but I also have my own ideas. Have you ever thought about another possibility, that is, we increase the reward ratio. If someone can kill a person from the mountain, then we can reward him. Thirty guan, or even a thousand kilograms of rice.”

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the two of them stopped their movements instantly and stared at Li Xiang with their eyes fixed. If they could really give so much money, there would be a brave man under the heavy reward. Yeah, but are we paying too much?

"There are still a lot of people in the mountains, and there are still many people who have gone in to join them. If I guessed correctly, there must be at least about 20,000 people. If one person gives 30 guan of money, that would be 6 million. Guan Qian.”

This amount of money is definitely not a small amount. Take the Jiangnan region of the Tang Dynasty as an example. It can only provide these taxes in about one year. If we really do this, I am afraid it will cause us a huge financial crisis.

"Maybe it's not about money. Otherwise, we have to use grain. Anyway, we have plenty of grain. If one head is exchanged for a thousand kilograms of rice, these people should be willing to do it."

Li Xiang's words made the other two people nod. An adult consumes less than three hundred kilograms of food in a year. If he can give one thousand kilograms, it would be equivalent to making an appointment for a person for three years in advance. Food rations, these people's lives are relatively difficult now. Once you offer this price, someone will definitely come in to work.

"Otherwise, let's try it first. Anyway, we can't open up the situation now. I think it's better to use 800 catties first. There is no need to give them a thousand catties. The people around are already too poor to open the pot. Eight hundred catties of grain is not enough for these people." It’s a huge price for people, but each of us can save two hundred pounds.”

Chang Sunze thought about what he wanted to say. If a Vietnamese soldier is killed, he will be given a thousand kilograms of grain. It can be said that such a reward has never been offered. If it is really possible, it will cost Datang a lot. Then It's better to just save two hundred catties first. Don't underestimate these two hundred catties of grain. If this matter really becomes popular, it can save Datang the tax revenue of several states.

"You'd better pull them down. Do you know what they are being asked to do? This is betraying their own country, betraying their compatriots, and betraying their own army. If there is not enough benefit, I am afraid that normal people will not do it. Only those who are about to starve to death will take the risk for such a thing, so I say a thousand catties is a thousand catties. Please spread the word about this quickly, and arrange for our people to drag two corpses out of the mountains and let them Disguise yourself as a Vietnamese citizen and give them money on the spot. If you still don’t believe it, go and bribe the Vietnamese people.”

When it comes to acting, if Li Xiang takes second place, I'm afraid no one will take first place. Li Xiang has already decided on this matter. No matter what happens next, we will continue to follow this path. , after all, there is no other strategy during this period. Instead of being exposed to the rain every day, it is better to give full play to our advantages and use food to let these people work for us.

The two immediately went out to deliver the order. Miss Huaihua was always listening behind. After hearing Li Xiang's order, she was also surprised in her heart. She had heard that our Highness was smart, but I didn't expect that our Highness was so smart. If you are courageous, one thousand kilograms of food can be exchanged for one life. Fortunately, His Highness can think of it, especially in a poor place like Vietnam.

When the news spread, many Vietnamese cursed in their own villages. They were still patriots. After the Tang army left, they immediately scolded the eighth generation of Li Xiang's ancestors and wanted to spend a thousand dollars. You make us betray the country for just one kilogram of grain. You really think of us too simply.

Some people also cursed casually, but their eyes kept rolling. Although they did not want to betray their country, the whole family was about to run out of food, and not everyone in Vietnam could have enough to eat. Most people eat two meals a day and eat tree bark for two months of the year.

They have also seen the armies in the mountains. Basically, they are all sallow and thin, and the people outside are almost unable to survive. What's more, these people in the mountains, if a few people work together, they may be able to kill two. One person is worth a thousand kilograms of food, so at least he can survive these few months.

As for those who are more ruthless, after going back that night, they have already started to contact the people under them. We are almost unable to survive, so why do we care so much? Now that there is such a way to survive, we must seize it, otherwise your whole family will go to the Palace of Hell to meet. (End of chapter)
