MTL - Han’s Son is Not a Slave-Chapter 57 buy and sell

"Substitution?"

After hearing what Zhou Shixiang said, everyone was at a loss: Can this person be replaced?

Zhou Shixiang explained that the Taiping Battalion suffered too many casualties in this battle, and the Green Battalion captured too many soldiers. If all the soldiers were brought back, the Taiping Battalion would be in short supply, not to mention the fact that so many people died, the relatives of those killed How can we accept these green battalions who kill their relatives. When the trouble arises, how to deal with it?

To bring the trouble back, why not make a deal with the Qing army in Deqing in exchange for the manpower that the Taiping Battalion desperately needs. After all, in addition to eliminating potential dangers, the main purpose of war is to obtain materials that are urgently needed by oneself.

Without the replenishment of soldiers, another battle like this would be enough to declare the Taiping Battalion disintegrated.

Zhou Shixiang had no intention of branding these Green Battalion soldiers, because there were too many of them, and the Taiping Battalion had absorbed them, and the situation was that the guest was stronger than the host. At that time, should I listen to these Green Battalion soldiers or him?

So his plan is to exchange these prisoners and Deqing City for the prisoners in the prison. The most favorite manpower for rebels is the prisoners in the cell, and the death row is better. These people are the natural opponents of the government. Accepting them is better than accepting these green camps. The soldiers are a hundred times stronger, at least there is no need to worry about the imbalance of power in the army in the future and the serious division of factions.

Of course, there is another reason for not taking these captives, that is, most of these people are natives of Deqing, no less than Shao Jiugong, they are soldiers and horses from other provinces, it is difficult for them to target Deqing City in the future, after all, there are their relatives inside exist.

In order to get everyone to support his decision, Zhou Shixiang inevitably and euphemistically talked about how the Taiping Camp wanted to be a big bandit and how to be a big bandit, and everyone nodded.

"One Tartar for another prisoner, Brother Zhou, it's not a good deal, we've lost a lot of money." Baldy has no opinion on the replacement, but he thinks it's not worthwhile to simply replace the prisoners with the Green Battalion.

Ge Wu was also thinking about this question just now, but he didn't understand what was wrong for a moment. Hearing what the bald man said, he quickly echoed: "Yes, it's not cost-effective to change the method, those armored soldiers are not ordinary green battalion soldiers, it's just a replacement for him. Ten prisoners, we all feel that we have lost a lot."

Zhou Shixiang signaled them not to worry, and said, "Then replace one with several others. If there are not enough prisoners to exchange with us, then exchange food and silver. We are sellers, and there is no reason for sellers to suffer in this world."

"If you want to get it, you can't just ask for prisoners. Some prisoners are not very useful. They have to bring money and food out. It's real money and silver. If you have money and food, you are afraid that you won't be able to recruit soldiers?" Ge Wu beat him up. Ge Liu didn't know when to come over, and he was very active in coming up with ideas.

Everyone's words and I's words and suggestions are really lively. When everyone was talking about the same, Peng Dazhu poured a bowl of cold water over, he said: "The way is good, but if the magistrate of Deqing refuses to change with us. How to do?"

Yes, if people don't change, aren't we busy working in vain?

Everyone was stunned, but Zhou Shixiang waved his hands confidently and said to them: "It's okay, the magistrate refuses to change, we will find someone who is willing to change."

"Who?" Everyone asked in unison.

Zhou Shixiang raised his hand towards the two soldiers and instructed them, "Bring that Green Camp 1000 over here."

........

"How much money do you think your life is worth?"

Hearing this question, Tang Sanshui couldn't help but fall to his knees again with a thud.

"I didn't say I was going to kill you, get up and talk."

After Zhou Shixiang drank again, Tang Sanshui stood up in panic, not knowing what the thief in front of him was thinking.

Zhou Shixiang ignored his confused eyes and said directly: "I was going to let you go, but I couldn't let you go for no reason, so you have to write a pen to redeem your life."

"Let me go? Redemption money?"

Tang Sanshui became excited as if he heard the sound of heaven, and shouted: "I'm out, I'm out!"

"Then how much money do you think you're worth?" Zhou Shixiang looked at Tang Sanshui expressionlessly, the more afraid of death, the more willing to cooperate and the more greedy for money.

"this..."

Tang Sanshui was embarrassed. If he didn't say much, it seemed that his CEO was too worthless. If he said too much, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it out, and it would hurt to take it out. In my heart, I secretly scolded the thief and the show is really a thief. There is no reason in this world that the kidnappers do not ask for the price but ask for the price of the meat ticket themselves.

After thinking about it for a long time with his head down, Fang raised his hand and shook his palm twice, carefully gritted his teeth and spat out a number, "One hundred taels?"

"One hundred taels?"

Zhou Shixiang sneered, glanced at Shao Jiugong, and asked him: "Shao Qianfeng, you worked in the Qing army, tell President Tang Qian, can he buy this Qian Qian for one hundred taels of silver?"

Shao Jiugong laughed directly: "If a hundred taels can buy a thousand chiefs, the humble post would have bought it long ago."

Zhou Shixiang nodded when he heard the words, then turned to look at Tang Sanshui, and hummed, "You heard that, you don't take yourself too seriously. If you really think so, then treat me like I didn't say anything." , raised his hand: "Take the person down."

"Don't, don't, don't..."

Tang Sanshui saw that Zhou Shixiang really wanted someone to take him down, for fear that the other party would turn his face and kill him, so he clasped his fists and wrote a compilation: "Heroes, if you make a price, the young ones will definitely take care of them, and the young ones will definitely take care of them..."

"Do you want me to drive?" Zhou Shixiang shook his head, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he spit out three words, "Two thousand taels."

"Two thousand taels?" Tang Sanshui was startled, really frightened by the number, and shook his head: "It's too much, it's too much, the little one doesn't have so much money!"

Zhou Shixiang glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "I know you don't have it, but you don't have it, others have it."

"Does anyone else have it?" Tang Sanshui was a little confused, not knowing what Zhou Shixiang's words meant, but Wei Wei asked, "What do you mean by a hero?"

"This is..."

Zhou Shixiang did not answer him, but pouted at Deqingcheng with the corner of his mouth.

.........

"One armored soldier is exchanged for six prisoners, and those without armor are exchanged for three. The other armored soldier is exchanged for 200 catties of grain or fifty taels of silver, and half of the unarmored, there is no bargaining." Zhou Shixiang made a final decision and did not want to do any more He had bargained with Tang Sanshui, and if he cut it further, it would be dark.

Seeing that Zhou Shixiang was impatient, Tang Sanshui hurriedly accepted the counter-offer, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "That little one?"

"Don't worry, the deal is done. If you lose ten taels of silver per head, it will cost you more than two thousand taels, and then add your own two thousand taels. President Tang Qian, you have made a lot of money in this battle."

Zhou Shixiang wasn't mocking Tang Sanshui, but it was still mocking in the ears of the other party. Fortunately, Tang Sanshui doesn't mind, as long as his life can be saved, and there is money to be made, what's the point of being ridiculed by others?

"The corpse of the guard?" Tang Sanshui finally didn't forget Zhang Dade.

"Zhang Dade's body can be brought back by you."

Zhou Shixiang paused for a while, and then said generously: "You can take back all the bodies of the Green Battalion soldiers, our army does not cut off the heads."

"Thank you General!"

Tang Sanshui hurriedly bowed and thanked him. If nothing else, he was able to bring back the body of Lord Guard. This was seen by others as Tang Sanshui's loyal ability. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Seeing that Tang Sanshui was a little complacent, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help reminding him: "However, how to get Mr. Lu to pay out the money will depend on your ability, Mr. Tang Qian. If they don't want to come out, then this business will be rubbish, let's do it. Nothing that is said counts."

Hearing this, Tang Sanshui patted his chest and said carelessly: "Don't worry about this general, Lu Gongming is a sour scholar, he is very timid and afraid of things, as long as I go to scare him, let him come out with money honestly. Besides, in the city And my subordinates, Lu Gongming really dares to black his heart, and my brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps!"

Zhou Shixiang smiled slightly and said, "I hope so." He signaled that Tang Sanshui could set off, but seeing that Tang Sanshui hesitated, he finally asked boldly, "I wonder if the general can give me the corpses of your army's deceased as well?"

"What do you want the body for?"

This time it was Zhou Shixiang's turn to be puzzled, and even if he understood what Tang Sanshui was playing, he wanted to turn a defeat into a victory, to make a fortune and to be promoted at the same time!

"no!"

Zhou Shixiang's face was extremely gloomy, Tang Sanshui was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized: "The little one is confused, the little one is confused, don't blame the general..."

"That's it."

Zhou Shixiang's face softened a little, and he cupped his hands: "Then I congratulate Mr. Qian on your success!"

"According to the general's auspicious words, we must not disgrace our mission!..."

Tang Sanshui wiped cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately someone brought his mount over, and picked out two of Tang Sanshui's cronies from the captives, and then Shao Jiugong took him back to Deqing.
