However.
The reorganization naturally brought about negligible results; the surrendered soldiers remained too numerous.
"Kindly report to the Great King."
"The Penal Battalion should not be reorganized, I propose that we handle the surrendered soldiers according to the original method, demote them to slaves, and deport them to the Northern Frontier, Shu Region, and other labor locations." Wang Wan stepped forward and spoke loudly.
"I second the proposal."
"If such a large labor force is utilized appropriately, our Qin can strengthen national power and reduce consumption." Huai Zhuang immediately echoed.
"We ministers concur."
Many ministers also echoed in agreement.
The captured soldiers of the past were all slaves, and they were robust slaves. Besides being deported to the Northern Frontier, many would also flow into the civilian market for sale, generating huge profits.
In the court, the old nobility naturally favored the slave trade.
