Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 181 Disposal of Prisoners!

After hearing these plans of Su Feng, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel excited and wished he could control this matter himself.

He couldn't help but look at Su Feng a few more times, his eyes were full of admiration and relief.

Think back then.

When I just sent Su Feng to the north, I just wanted to test his ability and at the same time improve the poverty in the north as much as possible.

After all, at that time, Li Shimin only saw Su Feng's transformation of the village road, and his greatest wish was to turn the north into a village.

But what happened later was completely beyond his expectations.

The north has been completely changed, and the original barrenness has disappeared, replaced by tens of thousands of mu of fertile land, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

even.

Compared with the ministers from Chang'an, the lives of the common people are more comfortable.

Later, when the Turks committed crimes, Su Feng took out even more good things and beat the Turks to the brim, making them suffer twice in a row.

Not to mention that Cheng Yaojin attacked Goguryeo this time and brought back nearly 20 captives.

All of this is because he made the right choice at the beginning, and he didn't miss Su Feng. Li Shimin was pleasantly surprised to find that he often had such thoughts in the recent period.

I don't know if it's because of getting older, or because Su Feng's ability is getting stronger and stronger, he feels that his precious son-in-law is more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Then when are you going to start?" After a moment of silence, Li Shimin looked at Su Feng seriously and asked.

Although they had seen Su Feng's plan just now, the map clearly marked how the railway should be built.

but.

This is a huge project that will consume a lot of time, manpower and material resources. Li Shimin doesn't want to wait any longer.

According to his thinking, he wanted to see the results of all the plans that Su Feng said in half a year at most. Of course, he knew that this was somewhat impossible.

"We have to do it right now!" Su Feng replied without hesitation.

His answer was beyond everyone's expectations. Seeing that winter was about to arrive, no matter whether it was Li Shimin or others, they felt that Su Feng would definitely wait for the winter to pass, and then start to do it in the spring of the next year.

To know.

Today's winter is extremely cold. Even the imperial court's army needs to spend a lot of supplies to survive the winter safely, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of captives.

If they are to start construction now, they may need more capital by then to ensure that these tens of 10 people survive the winter safely.

This is not a small price to pay!
In a sense, it even far exceeds the needs on the battlefield.

If this is the case, then these 10 people are really a burden!

"My lord, if we are going to do it now, there is one big problem that has not been resolved, that is, how will this winter pass?" Changsun Wuji took the lead to stand up, and looked at Su Feng very puzzled and asked.

According to his understanding of Su Feng, the other party should have thought about this kind of thing long ago, and shouldn't make such a low-level mistake at this time.

"Yes, my lord, if we use these captives to start work now, then we will have to pay a greater price in winter to ensure that they survive this winter safely, not to mention food and grass!"

"This... seems a bit uneconomical, right?" Wei Zheng also nodded slowly, expressing his agreement with Changsun Wuji's statement.

Although Li Shimin didn't speak, he proved with his actions that he was on the side of Changsun Wuji and others.

"There is no need to take care of these prisoners too much..." Su Feng said casually.

He had already made plans from the beginning. There was no need to take into account the living conditions of the hundreds of thousands of prisoners he captured.

These people came to attack Datang. If they were allowed to go smoothly, they would definitely make the people and them pay the most painful price without hesitation.

There is absolutely no need to waste capital on these people.

As soon as Su Feng finished speaking, he noticed that the faces of other people in the lobby were a little unsightly, or rather unnatural.

It is clear.

Such things make them feel a little uncomfortable!
Especially people like Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji. For them, these hundreds of thousands of captives are all living people. It would indeed be too cruel to just give up.

Many things are like this. If you just say what you say, I am afraid that many people can say it without hesitation.

But when it comes to taking action, there is basically worry.

"Your Majesty, this seems a little inappropriate. If you let it go, if these things spread, it may bring a lot of very bad influence!" Changsun Wuji didn't look at Su Feng, but came to Li Shimin's side said in a low voice.

He knew Su Feng's character and the weight of his words, and it was basically impossible to persuade him to change his mind now.

The only option is to persuade Li Shimin that as long as he does not agree to do so, even Su Feng must carefully consider the consequences of doing so.

Wei Zheng immediately understood Changsun Wuji's thoughts, and he also came in front of Li Shimin. Although he didn't speak, everyone understood what it meant.

"I know what everyone is thinking. Although these captives are also real people, please think about it carefully. What have the Turks been doing to our people for so many years?"

"Burning, killing, prostitution, and looting are all kinds of crimes. How many people have been hurt, and how many girls from the Tang Dynasty have been ruined by them? Even among them, they actually call our people from the Tang Dynasty two-legged sheep!"

"Have you all forgotten this one by one? More importantly, they are attacking Datang this time, but they are now defeated by us!"

"Let's ask ourselves, if the result is reversed this time, if some of our prisoners are caught by them, will they treat them well? I'm afraid it will be even more miserable than this?" Su Feng looked at everyone present, gnashing his teeth said in a low voice.

Although his voice was very soft, it exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

After what Su Feng said, many people really came to their senses, especially Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng. They had seen a lot of memorials and knew what the Turks did on the border.

Thinking about what I did just now, it was indeed a bit of a woman's benevolence.

As Su Feng said, now ask yourself carefully, if the same thing happened to the Turks, would they really treat the prisoners of the Tang Dynasty kindly?
This time.

Without Li Shimin speaking in person, no one has any opinions...
