Chapter 416: Meng Tian opens his mind, discusses strategy

Meng Tian had just been blinded by anger.

Now, upon reflection, he understood.

Before, he had never thought about taking Xiongnu prisoners.

That was because Great Qin's grain and grass were already tight.

Where would there be extra grain and grass to feed those disgusting Xiongnu?

Killing them all was definitely much better than capturing them.

However, the situation in Great Qin had changed now.

The situation had become different from before!

Great Qin before was short of grain and grass.

Even their own people couldn't eat their fill.

Where would there be extra food to feed beasts?

Now, Great Qin's grain and grass were gradually increasing.

And before long, Great Qin's grain and grass would be more than they could eat.

Now in Great Qin, all four major projects had stopped.

All corvée laborers and convicts had been disbanded.

Just as His Highness said, it was the time when they were short of people.

Which is better, killing them all or capturing them to work?

Thinking of the Xiongnu torturing Great Qin subjects so much.

Killing them was simply too easy on them.

If they could all be captured to build major projects for Great Qin for generations.

It seemed to be millions of times better than killing them!

Great Qin before didn't have such conditions.

Now that they had these conditions, if they still didn't know how to use them properly.

Then it was really their own fault for building the major projects themselves.

Meng Tian thought of this.

His whole person became radiant.

At the same time, he also knew the Crown Prince's painstaking efforts.

It was rumored that disbanding the corvée laborers of the world was the Crown Prince's proposal.

It was also he who executed it, and even the First Emperor agreed.

It turned out that His Highness cared about the people and didn't want his own subjects to do this hard work.

The dirty and tiring work should definitely be done by foreigners!

Whether they were tired to death or what, they didn't feel sorry for them.

The remnants of the Six States before could be considered outsiders.

But they were not foreigners, and now Great Qin is unified.

There are no longer seven states, only one state—Great Qin!

All the people of Great Qin are descendants of Yan and Huang!

Great Qin people do not make things difficult for Great Qin people!

Meng Tian looked at Ying Ying Zi Ye with burning eyes.

"Your Highness, this subordinate understands!"

"Times have changed; Great Qin before had no conditions."

"Now Great Qin is completely different from before."

"Capturing Xiongnu to do hard labor is much more satisfying than killing them!"

"How could those Xiongnu savages be allowed to die easily!"

Meng Tian knelt on one knee directly.

If it weren't for His Highness's remarks.

It is estimated that his thoughts would have remained unchanged.

Originally, his idea was that even if he didn't serve as this Grand General.

He would still kill all the Xiongnu.

But His Highness's remarks woke him up.

Otherwise, his Grand General position would probably be at an end.

This wasn't a big deal; it didn't matter if he didn't serve as Grand General.

It was just that thinking that if he didn't serve as Grand General, he couldn't kill or capture the Xiongnu.

This deal was too much of a loss; whoever is stupid would do it.

It was still more cost-effective to keep a useful body to serve Great Qin.

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at Meng Tian appreciatively.

Sure enough, those who could become Grand Generals were not ordinary people.

As long as they were pointed out a little, they could immediately understand.

"Get up."
