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

Chapter 249 Those captives are treasures!

After Changsun Wuji left, Su Feng set his sights on Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was in charge of all the captives in Goguryeo and Tujue, and he was very concerned about the current situation of these people.

To know.

Now these people are the main force of production, and there is no need to consider too much price at all. In a sense, these people are treasures!

"His Royal Highness, where are the captives transported?" Su Feng looked at Li Chengqian seriously and asked.

Since handing over this matter to the other party, except for making sleds when transporting supplies, he has almost no time to care about this matter at other times.

"now
According to the military report sent by General Cheng a few days ago, they should all have arrived at Yan County by now, and there were no major problems in the whole process! "Li Chengqian thought for a while and truthfully told Su Feng everything he had received in the past two days.

just.

When talking about these people, Li Chengqian couldn't help showing disgust on his face.

If this is according to his true thoughts, all those captives should be killed. They have a lot of blood debts in their hands. How many people of Tang Dynasty have suffered for many years because of these bastards.

This is the difference between Li Chengqian and Li Shimin. Although they both consider the common people, Li Chengqian is more concerned about the feelings of the common people.

This has advantages and disadvantages of course!
Under such circumstances, Li Chengqian might do something irrational, and Su Feng has always known his thoughts.

It was precisely because of these reasons that he strongly recommended Li Chengqian to do this at the beginning. It was to let him do these things specifically so that he could understand the truth he wanted to express.

"His Royal Highness, these people are all treasures now, and they will be the main force in building roads or doing other things in the future!"

"There are still many places that need them in the future, so don't be afraid to spend money now, and build as many houses as possible. The conditions don't need to be too good, but at least they must be able to survive!" Su Feng pulled Li Chengqian, solemnly Said the matter.

"Now is not the time to be impulsive. Allowing them to play their due role is the most important thing to do now. If this matter is done well, His Highness will surprise them both in front of His Majesty and in the court!"

Faced with Su Feng's persuasive temptation, Li Chengqian remained silent. He could understand the other party's painstaking efforts. All he did was actually increasing his political capital.

"These are actually not problems. What I am most worried about now is how to solve the problem of feeding these 10 people. Their needs are not a small amount!" Li Chengqian took a deep breath and expressed his worries.

According to what Su Feng said, to keep them alive, these hundreds of thousands of mouths are all waiting to eat, and the amount of food that needs to be consumed every day is a huge amount.

to be frank.

In terms of the current capabilities of the imperial court, it is indeed difficult to afford these people.

of course.

The most important thing is that Li Chengqian is unwilling to waste all the good food on the captives.

"Hasn't the cultivation of potatoes been promoted now? Such high-yielding potatoes should be able to support their daily consumption!"

"As long as they don't starve to death, it's enough to have something to eat every day, and there is no need to waste other food. Eating the same thing every day is also a punishment for these people!" Su Feng said with a smile.

Before he knew it, a smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face.

These words of Su Feng are very suitable for him. Even in such a situation, it is indeed a very cool thing for these guys to be punished!
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. For a long time, hundreds of thousands of captives from Goguryeo and Turks ate potatoes almost every day, and many of them vomited!
"By the way, there is one more thing that His Highness needs to tell them, and they should focus on it!" Su Feng suddenly thought of something, and pulled Li Chengqian seriously and said.

"what's up?"

"In the north there is a tree called Eucommia, which is relatively common. Its characteristic is that when the trunk is cut open, a snow-white liquid will flow out!"

"Your Highness must describe these details, let General Cheng and General Yuchi search as much as possible, take care of them carefully after finding them, and then report the results to us!" Su Feng told Li Chengqian while describing road.

Eucommia ulmoides can be regarded as a substitute for rubber trees. In this era, there are no conditions to go to Southeast Asia to find them. These are enough.

Their sap can be made into rubber, which is related to many things in the future, and Su Feng has always been thinking about this issue.

Now we are talking about the prisoners in the north, and we can use them to find them.

"Is...does this have any special meaning?" Li Chengqian asked a little puzzled.

Su Feng originally wanted to explain, but there were too many things involved, and Li Chengqian might not be able to accept the information in it for a while.

"It may not be clear to explain to His Highness now, but His Highness will understand what I said now when needed!"

"Understood, I'll let someone send the letter!" Li Chengqian nodded without hesitation.

He has absolute trust in Su Feng. Since the other party has said it is very important, then this matter must be done properly.

then.

Li Chengqian quickly turned around and left here, Su Feng didn't stay here either, and returned directly to the mansion...

……

three days later.

Su Feng finished his lecture, and purposely stayed to have hot pot with Changsun Wuji, Li Chengqian and others.

A lot has happened recently, and it just so happened that they could take this opportunity to communicate with each other.

Li Chengqian said that the search for Eucommia has been written and sent to the north. I am afraid that Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong will take action soon.

"The study during this period really opened my eyes. I just don't know how the light bulbs in the steel factory are made. I really want to make them myself!" Changsun Wuji said with emotion after taking a bite of the dish. Said.

He has already searched for the materials that Su Feng needs as much as possible, but it will take some time to find the best ones and the quantity meets the standard.

Su Feng didn't speak, but was eating hot pot with a smile on his face. At this moment, a servant quickly came in from the outside and stood respectfully in front of Su Feng and others.

"Reporting to my lord, there is news from the steel mill that what the lord asked them to make has succeeded!"

As soon as the servant's words fell, Changsun Wuji stood up immediately.

"Go, let's all go and see!"
