Chapter 269 Kill and not kill

"Uh...this?"

When asked whether the Huns should be killed, Ying Zheng looked left and right, and he was still unsure of his mind.

"yawn……"

"Oh! This chair is really hard to sleep with. You have to add soft cushions on both sides!"

Just when Ying Zheng was indecisive, Xiao Zhengta yawned and rubbed his waist, as if he was not sleeping very comfortably.

But everyone just heard the snoring!

"By the way! Ask the young master, he pacified the Huns, and this matter should be solved by him!"

Ying Zheng not only did not look angry about Xiao Zheng's complaints, but instead grinned and laughed.

This kid has the most ideas and will definitely be able to make an idea!

"What...why are you asking me?"

Xiao Zhengtai just opened her eyes, but she was still confused, and she didn't know what they were talking about.

"Young Master, when His Majesty met Maodun just now, Maodun said that the people on the grassland would not surrender to the Qin Dynasty at all. It would be that those people would rebel in the future, and the generals advocated all beheading. The civil officials were worried that it would cause dissatisfaction from other countries and did not support the massacre. What should we do?"

Meng Yi stood up and briefly told what had just happened.

"What do you think about this?"

Ying Zheng's eyes fell on Xiao Zhengtai, with a little expectation.

"What else do you need to think? If you want to kill me, I've already killed me when I was in the Huns. Do you have to wait until now?"

Xiao Zhengta couldn't help rolling her eyes and rubbing her sleepy eyes again.

"But if we don't kill, we may not be able to rebel uneducated people in the future, and it will take even more time to do so!"

General Kang Anping said worriedly.

"It's like when the Qin Dynasty pacified the six kingdoms, weren't the people seven unfair and eight unhappy? How are you doing now? Are you still honestly a citizen of the Qin Dynasty?"

Xiao Zhengtai said while tidying up her messy clothes.

"But this is different. The people of the six countries have been educated and their habits are mostly the same as those of our Great Qin, so they are not strong in their backbone. But the Huns have always been idle on the grassland, so they are afraid they are not easy to control!"

"Yes, my Qin Dynasty has developed rapidly and treated the people of the six countries equally. He distributed them high-yield plants such as potatoes and rice to make them eat and wear warmth. What reason do they have to rebel? The Huns are different. They are all grasslands. Even if they are given high-yield growing grain, they cannot grow food!"

The other two generals also spoke, their tone was full of disgust for the Huns.

"The Huns are vast and there are many people living there. If they kill them all, it is absolutely impossible to rely on soldiers to guard them alone. Not to mention that other countries are eyeing this land, the funds for these soldiers alone are a considerable amount every year...!"

Xiao Zhengtai shook his head and did not agree with the words of the two. "If we kill all the people, when we attack other countries in the future, we will definitely be resisted by the whole country. That is the real trouble!"

"But if we only fight against the soldiers, do not kill prisoners, do not kill the people, and also distribute them to grow grain, books, and teach them Middle-earth culture, what do you think will?"

"Haha, if this is the case, some people who are dissatisfied with our country may open the city gates to greet us when the war strikes!"

The old minister Feng Quji stroked his beard and laughed.

This is similar to the previous battle in Lingnan. Those people were dissatisfied with Zhao Tuo's tyranny. When Ying Feiyu led his troops to attack, they all stood on his side. Only in a short while can they take Lingnan in two days!

“That’s right…!”

Xiao Zhengtai snapped his fingers and continued, "The initial Qin Dynasty was only a small area the size of a palm, and the number of people was very small. If a country was destroyed and all its people were killed, then the population of our Qin Dynasty would definitely not be as large as it is now, and it would definitely be smaller and smaller, and it would be impossible to unify the six countries one day!"

Before he invented the thermal weapon, the two countries relied on swords and casualties. It was common for death and injury to the two countries to fight.

Apart from normal birth, old age, sickness and death, the number of newborns will definitely not be as large as deaths. How could the Qin Dynasty develop to such a huge size?

"Well, Fei Yu's words make sense..."

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, "I, Daqin, need land, but if no one uses it, what's the use of any more land?"

"Before, the Huns sent envoys to our Qin Dynasty, hoping that the father would open trade between the two countries and share their own or not, in order to develop their grassland economy. Now that the territory of the Huns is ours, the two countries must have trade. As long as the people of the Huns are full and well-dressed, how could they rebel?"

The neatly dressed little master, carrying his hands on his back, stood in the hall to reason with a group of ministers who were undecided.

"It would be better to let the soldiers stay in the guards if we use the food that our local people have worked hard to supplement those Hun people!"

A line of military generals, a voice that was unwilling to do so sounded.

"Who said we should use our food to subsidize them?"

"Young Master, haven't you just said it? You have to grow grain and books for them, so that they can eat enough, and communicate with each other, so that they can become rich! If they are rich, will our Daqin land be poor?"

"The wealth of the Huns does not mean that our Qin Dynasty will become poor and can develop together!"

"What are they in the Huns? There is nothing else except raising horses and sheep!"

The general looked disgusted.

“That’s enough…!”

Xiao Zhengta blinked and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate those sheep, but it can create a lot of wealth!"

"Wealth? How is it possible? If great wealth can be created, why did the Huns always come to rob our food? Isn't it because there is no food, and eating mutton alone is not enough?"

The Huns feed on meat, and it is fine in spring and summer, but in winter, cattle, sheep and livestock are not full at all, so there is no meat. The herdsmen are reluctant to kill them, so they can only go hungry and find ways to grab things from surrounding villages.

If those cattle and sheep can really create wealth, will they still live such hardship?

"That's because they have no brains and cannot use them flexibly!"

Xiaozheng smiled indifferently, revealing a row of snow-white small breasts.

"Flexible use? It's just that there are more sheep and fewer sheep. How can I use it?"

The ministers all cast doubtful eyes.

"First of all, I have fewer grasslands in Daqin, and most of the people mainly cultivate, so the price of mutton is very high, and ordinary people can't afford it!"

"But the Huns are just the opposite. Cattle and sheep are everywhere, and the most common food is beef and mutton. So in the Huns, grain becomes a luxury. If the two countries communicate with each other, I, the Qin Dynasty, can sell grain to the Huns at a good price, and the Xiongnu sell cattle and sheep to the Qin Dynasty, and can also make a lot of money. In this way, not only can the full use of the goods, but also increase income!"
