To put it bluntly, it was a blackmail list. On the basis of the conditions of 500,000 shi of military rations, 400,000 taels of gold, and the old man Fan Zeng, some chips were added to leave room for bargaining.
A beloved beauty, a priceless treasure, and a rare talent for a famous general and brotherhood.
In Xiang Yu's heart, these two people should be worthy of the price.
[Off-topic] To be honest, maybe Li Feng was just an ordinary office worker in Longguo's socialism, a little loser. He never thought that a thousand troops are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find.
But in a battle, the role that generals can play is indeed much more important than that of soldiers, and they should indeed become the focus of protection. This is particularly obvious in the cold weapon era.
But this does not mean that at a critical moment, in order to save you, the interests or even lives of tens of thousands of people have to be sacrificed.
Your life is life, but the lives of ordinary soldiers are not?
Just like in later generations, as a boss, can you exploit your subordinates at will? The fruits of your labor are results, but the efforts of those who work for you are not results?
Moreover, Li Feng, who had traveled through time, knew that an iron army was the country's most important military force.
Famous generals sometimes make mistakes, but if there is an army whose ideas, skills, and weapons are all at the level of a military king, I believe that even an ordinary general can achieve good results.
Therefore, improving the overall quality of the army is the most important.

Early the next morning, Aunt Xiao woke up Yu Ji and thoughtfully helped her dress up and wash herself.
"Miss, Manager Mei sent someone to pick you up and said that His Majesty has a purpose. After breakfast, he will take you to take a stroll in the Xianyang market to relax and see what the real atmosphere of a great country is."
Yu Ji sighed: "Forget it, just go. I want to see what Xianyang has become like after several wars and returned to the rule of the Hunjun. I'm afraid it will be worse!"
Putting aside her inner annoyance, Yu Ji dressed neatly and walked out under the service of Aunt Xiao.
At this time, Li Feng was summoning Li Bing, Wang Chong, Meng Rui, Han Xin, as well as Bai Zhan, Su Du and others who had just returned. They were now looking at the exchange list that Li Feng had prepared for Xiang Yu.
"After reading it, if you have any opinions, please mention them."
Several people looked at me and I looked at you. After some discussion, they reached a consensus and Bai Zhan came forward:
"Your Majesty is wise, and I have no objections. I just want to add one more thing and make an agreement with Xiang Yu. Within three years, Qin and Chu will be reconciled and they will not intrude on each other's borders."
"Three years of no war? I have been thinking about reunifying the world day and night. How can I wait for him for three years?"
Bai Zhan smiled: "Your Majesty has misunderstood. This is just a temporary measure. It is only effective for Xiang Yu, but not for Your Majesty."
"Haha, yes!" Li Feng heard the implication of Bai Zhan's words. These people really followed his bad example.
But then I thought of a greater possibility, and couldn't help but smile gloomily in my heart, and looked at Han Xin: "General Han, you know Xiang Yu's situation better. When do you think he can get these things together?"
Han Xin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the price you ask is too high. You may not be able to raise it even if you give him three or four years."
"In this case, should we lower the price?"
"Um..., this is entirely up to His Majesty's decision."
"I have met Yu Ji last night, and I can be sure that Xiang Yu is willing to pay this price in exchange. We think it would be better if he doesn't get it together. If he doesn't get it, he will ask the princes he has granted, so...
.”
"The princes are bound to be dissatisfied, and even if they don't fight with each other, they will still have dissatisfaction with each other. For us, we can kill two birds with one stone, Your Majesty." Han Xin understood everything and actually answered Li Feng's words.
Bai Zhan was dissatisfied: "Brother Han, you must not be rude in front of His Majesty."
"It doesn't matter, Han Xin is right, that's what I mean." Li Feng smiled and waved his hands. In this kind of occasion, which is similar to a company meeting, he really doesn't care about Han Xin's so-called rude behavior.
After all, he was just like me. Before he became famous, he was just a bad guy. He demanded so many etiquettes at one time. Isn't this embarrassing? Everything has to go through a process.
Having said that, since Xiang Yu can't collect the money, does he have to be given time to rob other princes? Li Feng looked at the ministers: "Then what do you think is the appropriate amount of time for us to give them to collect the amount of things?"
"Five months to eight months."
"Okay, let Han Xin take full responsibility for this matter. My base price is 500,000 shi of military rations and 400,000 taels of gold. The more the rest, the better. I wonder if you are sure."
"If it's just the lowest price, I'm fully confident."
"Okay, go ahead and make arrangements. After everything is done, you three generals will take 10% of the exchanged items as additional benefits, and 40% will be distributed as pensions to the men of Great Qin who were killed or disabled in this battle. The remaining
Turn it over to the treasury, what do you think?"
"Hahahaha! On behalf of all the soldiers in the army, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
When several generals heard this, they couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time in ancient times that they had heard of a king who blatantly treated military war as a business.
When it comes to your own interests, even 10% is enough to make you fatter.
Han Xin, a child from a poor family, even kowtowed on the spot: "I have earned His Majesty's trust. I will give him a good deal."
"Yes!" Li Feng nodded: "There is another important thing for summoning you this time, that is, the award platform and the Heroes Tower are being built as fast as possible. Once completed, I will hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, worship the generals on the altar, and award the heroes.
, we have also done things to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, so before that, we need to make some preparations in advance.
"Your Majesty, please make it clear."
"I need a list of the soldiers who died in the war since Qin entered Shu. Do you have any statistics?"
"This... Your Majesty, the Sima of the army has statistics, but the statistics are not very clear." Bai Zhan and Su Du looked at each other: "I will ask you when I return to the army."
"No, you are personally responsible for this matter. You must also make a clear accounting of the military merits and promotions since entering Shu before the awards platform and the Heroes Tower are built. This is my death order and there must be no mistakes."
"Yes, I will take care of it immediately."
"Well, this heaven-sacrifice ceremony is of great importance. I have drafted a charter. Please take a look at it. If you have any questions, ask them. If there are no big questions, just follow the above contents."
Li Feng then distributed the prepared charter forms to several close ministers.
This is something that looks extremely simple, but has been proven to be very effective by history. Li Feng took it out of his mind without much effort.
As a time-traveler, you have to look a little bit like a time-traveler, right?
