89. Chapter 89
There are no immortals in war, just look at how many people die, the momentum is different, the victory or defeat is different, and the dead people are naturally different. However, because the foreigners are always underfed and do not have much strength, and the people on Shao Yunhua's side have never seen blood, so the number of deaths is not much, and finally counted, Shao Yunhua died forty-two on his side, and ninety-four on the other side, a total of one hundred and thirty-six people died, this battle damage is not big, nor is it small.
cleaned up the battlefield, captured a lot of people, and arranged the bereavement of the dead, Shao Yunhua began to worry, how to arrange so many prisoners? She couldn't do the killing of prisoners of war.
It can be said that in some respects, Shao Yunhua and Her Majesty the Empress have something in common, and they understand the national feud, but if it is a civil strife between private individuals, it is deeply hated. There is no reason for such aggression, and it is even more wrong, but but, once you see that your people have nothing to support and no young to rely on, then even if the aggression is wrong, you can only take this step, not every country has the far-sighted vision of the empress, collecting crops with high yields, and the arrival of natural disasters can in many cases make a year's hard work of a year and several years in vain.
Therefore, Shao Yunhua has a headache for these captives, a headache is a headache, and he has already sent the notebook to him, and a total of 2,108 captives have been captured, and this matter must be reported.
For these captives, the empress just thought about it for a while, and directly replied with four words, "full authority", that is, the empress gave Shao Yunhua the greatest rights, and you can use these captives as you want, and all of them are up to you.
When she received these four words, Shao Yunhua was really mixed, and the others were the same (Shui Dai's feet were slower, but they were only four days later than Shao Yunhua, and all of them arrived.) Now in the face of these four words, everyone got together and began to study what to do.
The good thing is that this is the empress's supreme trust in them, but the result of trust is that it will inevitably take hard work, and once it is not handled well, I am afraid that it will disappoint the supreme, and those red-eyed courtiers will definitely not give up.
Shen Zhifang sat there and frowned, two thousand people, too many, and basically all of them were powerful men, it was okay to hold on like this, if it was released, it would definitely be a tiger for trouble.
Mei Xin also frowned, Canglan Mansion is not short of food now, but it is only not lacking, and it will definitely not reach the point where Cui Sleeves boast like Gao Niangzi, the granaries are full, so the rations for two thousand people are still very problematic.
Shao Yunhua also frowned, and Cui Sleeve brought her a cup of chrysanthemum tea, well! Defeat the fire! Cui Shan was rescued in time because he was a hostage last time, but he still suffered some minor injuries, and was forced by Shao Yunhua to take a vacation.
"It's a big question how these people deal with it." Shui Dai broke the immersion of a room.
"It can't be light, it can't be heavy, but now it's a hot potato." Shen Zhifang smiled bitterly.
"We don't have enough food, but even then, it's a lot of consumption every day." Mei Xin's face was expressionless.
Shao Yunhua's eyebrows can be twisted, this matter is too tricky.
"Prefect, Aunt Zhao is here." Xing'er has a good time with Aunt Zhao and Wang Xiu, and Aunt Zhao will immediately report every time she comes, of course, because Aunt Zhao is very much like a big sister.
Today's Aunt Zhao is no longer the yellow-haired girl of the year, she is still hardworking and willing to work, but because she has money to eat well, the hair that was originally like straw has become black and bright, and the original yellow-skinned face is now plump and ruddy, and there are two shallow pear vortices under a smile, which can be called a cute girl.
"I've seen a few Shangguan." Another good thing about Aunt Zhao is to keep her duty, even if everyone knows that she is looked at differently by the prefect and others, she still does her duty, and she does not exceed half a point, let alone be proud of this relationship.
"Why did you come here so early today? Something? Shao Yunhua had a smile on her face, and she was really happy to see Aunt Zhao, because this was an achievement, from the empress's idea to an achievement she implemented, the little lady walked out with her head up.
"Prefect, I heard from the sister of the Hua family that she is short of manpower."
"Huh?" Shao Yunhua raised his eyebrows.
"Doesn't it mean that a lot of people have been captured, can you let these people work? It's better than keeping them locked up and letting them idle. Aunt Zhao said seriously, but the flush on her face still betrayed her, and this idea should have come to her mind.
"You are a lucky star, and you can be regarded as solving our urgent needs." Shao Yunhua's eyes suddenly lit up.
Shui Dai is also upturned lips, this idea is good.
"But what if these people riot?" The so-called waste utilization, this is a good practice, but what about riots?
"Take turns." Shao Yunhua immediately had a response to this: "Divide into several teams and do different jobs, even so, a thousand people go out every day, and a thousand people are left in the cell, once there is a problem, then these thousand people are hostages." โ
This is definitely not the time to be reasonable, and you can only use this simplest and crude method.
The move was unanimously approved.
"As for the follow-up...... For the time being, let's look at it for a month, and if we do it well, we are trying to find a way to really settle these people. Aunt Zhao's words also gave Shui Dai a new idea, although the purpose of moving the little lady is to let the woman come out, but why not move elsewhere, but here? It's not because there are few people here, but now 2,000 people are sent for nothing, why not?
"Uh-huh." Shao Yunhua also thought of this question, so he nodded again and again.
Mei Xin, as the chief housekeeper, immediately began to handle this matter, she divided the remaining two people into pairs, and the person who went out to work was responsible for whether the person who went out to work was responsible for whether the person's meal was not out, how to be responsible? The work is not done in vain, it is all paid, of course, the reward is not money, but food, can complete the work assigned to you well, then you and your group of people have a day of food guaranteed, if you do well, complete other work, then you can order what you like to eat, more can also be given to others.
The captives began to scoff at this (after these days of hard work, Shao Yunhua and the others have successfully found a translator), but touching their half-full stomachs, the vast majority of them still accepted this arrangement.
Mei Xin's deployment is very humane, and the pairs let them choose by themselves, so that they are willing to work hard.
This move quickly achieved results, not to mention the medicine garden, it is to dig a ditch and open a ditch, then it saves a lot of time and effort, and the people who moved here are all little ladies, and they lose to men in the body, although Her Majesty the Empress has developed various industries in recent years, but this is an agricultural society in the end, so canal irrigation is indispensable, can these women dig? Yes! But in the days when there were no machines, the efficiency was absolutely miserable.
Now that there is a group of big men, it is simply a joy to fall from the sky, and all kinds of ditches have begun to be dug.
Digging canals often requires stones, and opening mountains and cracking stones is a big project, which often consumes countless manpower, material and financial resources, but there is an empress in the Great Qin Dynasty who has crossed over, and she will not talk about โกโก in advance, but also apply it, so Shao Yunhua has gunpowder like this.
In order to deter these prisoners, Shao Yunhua took the gunpowder master and a group of prisoners of war to the mountain.
The big boulder on the mountain is a pure big boulder, and at this time it can no longer be called a stone, but a mountain rock.
These prisoners of war originally thought that they would open the mountains and crack the rocks, and they couldn't help but show bitterness on their faces, this work was too hard, and in the past, they were all let prisoners of war and criminals do it, but now it is their turn, and the feeling in their hearts is unspeakable.
And then a young woman came back after she had stopped and parked some dark stuff over there.
"Prefect, it's already okay."
"Okay." Shao Yunhua nodded: "Be a little back, so as not to hurt people by rolling down the gravel." โ
"Yes." The guards began to make the captives stand back.
The captives looked at each other, not understanding the meaning, but they retreated.
Then they saw a rope, and then they saw the rope being lit, and it was snorting, and it was sparkling, and it was burning very quickly, and what was it for?
"Boom-" The sound of a big explosion came, not to mention these prisoners who were completely unprepared, even Shao Yunhua and the messengers who were mentally prepared were taken aback.
There was a silence, and countless broken stones rolled down one after another, some large and some small, and a kind of captives who looked at it were dumbfounded, is this a divine skill? Looking at the strange young woman over there, they were full of fear and fear of the unknown.
"Let them carry the rocks today." Shao Yunhua instructed his subordinates.
"Yes."
The power of this time was enormous, for these prisoners of war, it was absolutely a shock to the heart, so hard rock, like a giant, but so easily to get the rock into the powder, what if this thing was thrown on people's bodies? What will be the effect?
Shao Yunhua's dismount was very good, and many of the captives he saw in the sky had nightmares when he went back, and the original desire to escape immediately extinguished most of his thoughts, which was simply terrifying.
In the past month, these captives have less and less thoughts of escaping, and there are places to eat, drink, and live, which is much better than the situation where the people are not able to live and cannot survive.
A man held a potato in his hand and a piece of braised pork on his chopsticks, but when he looked at the piece of meat, he suddenly burst into tears.
When he cried, someone next to him couldn't help laughing: "Barr, it's not a, why are you crying." โ
The others also coaxed, and the old man had something to cry about.
"I know I think of A-Niang, but I don't know what's going on over there?" After Barr finished speaking, he began to shed tears, his father died early, he was also affected by the disaster, it was also a big flood, the river was washed away, his father drowned himself in order to protect the two of them, so Barr's family was not happy, the widow pulled him up, it was easy for him to grow up, and after a few years of stable life, he was planning to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, but he didn't expect to suffer again, he had a crooked heart, and planned to come here to grab some money and go back to let the old lady live.
When he said this, many people were silent, in fact, most of them were young and strong young men, even if they were affected by the disaster, the young people had a good chance of survival, why should they come here to rob them? Except for a few who are ill-intentioned and plan to get rich, in fact, they just plan to grab some money to go back so that their families can have food and clothing, so this sentence completely ignited everyone's homesickness. The atmosphere that had just been warm and joyful completely cooled down.
