But when they were registered and lined up in large groups by age, the fresh slaves breathed a sigh of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIt seems that this Zhao Hu Overseer is also quite good to slaves, and actually makes the old man and children do little physical work, while the women do some textile work.

Because of these, even the young and strong were pulled to work as coolies without complaining, in addition to having no wages, there was no shortage of food and drink, and their families were not separated, and the old people, children, and female slaves followed the young and strong slaves. It feels like being forced to work by a warlord before.

The reason why the treatment of slaves will be like this is because Zhao Hu can't really use slaves as cattle and horses, and secondly, because his family stays around, the trend of slave rebellion and rebellion will be weakened to the lowest point, because of these two reasons, so this situation occurs.

After leaving Li Haoran's troops to manage this new territory, the other brigades were transferred to other newly occupied territories, and with Li Hui's territory as an example, Zhao Hujun easily took the other three territories.

So far, Zhao Hujun has occupied two-fifths of the territory in the eastern part of the province, accounting for one-tenth of the area of the coastal province. He is already one of the largest warlords in the coastal province.

When the news of Zhao Hujun's rapid expansion of territory spread and was confirmed, the entire coastal province fell silent, and the warlords, large and small, all opened their mouths in shock.

That's not true, is it? How many days have it been since Zhao Hu issued the number to start the army, just like ten days, the five warlords around Zhao Hu, one took refuge and one was wiped out, and three surrendered halfway through, how did it feel as easy as pinching a snail with three fingers?

After the news came out, the first to die down were the warlords in the eastern part of the province, and they were all vigilantly watching Zhao Hu's next move, and at the same time they were also praying for the warlords in the eastern province who were crazy to bite people everywhere to provoke Zhao Hu.

But I don't know if these madmen instinctively sensed that the atmosphere was wrong or something, and they actually followed everyone else back to the site to rest. This performance made the warlords of the province who were cautious and vigilant breathe a sigh of relief while secretly cursing, at least now they don't have to face two enemies at the same time.

Of course, when the warlords were shocked by Zhao Hu's behavior of exterminating all the officers and soldiers of Li Hui's army, those great sages who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests were excited.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the overseer appointed by the imperial capital, and he destroyed five warlords as soon as he made a move, and if he maintains this speed, I believe it won't be long before he can return the coastal province to a sunny day.

These excited sages either went out of the mountain to prepare to join Zhao Hu, or they were still hiding in the mountains for various reasons, but they all went around to promote Zhao Hu's existence.

As a result, under the admiration and promotion of these great sages, the ordinary people of Haibin Province soon recognized Zhao Hu's status as an overseer, and recognized him as the boss of Haibin Province.

Haibin Province, the boundary under the jurisdiction of Zhao Hu's supervising army.

Hundreds of thousands of young and strong slaves were working hard to build roads, and thanks to the diligent work of these slaves, the wide and thick roads were stretching out at a speed of kilometers a day across the territory of Zhao Hu's overseers.

Those who follow these paths are groups of civilians who have fled the war, regardless of the long distances, and who have gone to great lengths to find a stable life.

These people either knew that Zhao Hujun's hierarchy existed, and they brought all the family members and Wanguan family wealth with them, and they came over in advance to become naturalized or businessmen, or magnates, or families.

And in addition to these well-informed people who rushed to naturalize, the most people on the road were businessmen who drove horse-drawn carts around the world.

To be honest, these businessmen like Zhao Hujun very much. Not for anything else, one is that Zhao Hujun's business taxes are low within his sphere of influence, and the other is that Zhao Hujun is a bold guest with a bulging wallet, as long as there are goods they like, it is absolutely not a matter of price.

After going back and forth, these merchants even went around preaching that they hoped that the Zhao Hu army would recover the coastal province as soon as possible, so that they could do business with peace of mind.

At this time, Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen were riding on horses, and their expressions were very relaxed and trotting on the road.

Seeing the relaxed appearance of his master, Zhou Wen couldn't help but smile with relief.

Anyway, all the major military and political affairs have been properly arranged, so why not let the Lord rest for a few days? As for security, who would really think that the Lord is alone with him? If you don't have a large number of secret guards to follow, it is a dereliction of duty on your part.

The reason why Zhou Wen and Zhao Hu went on the road alone was because Zhao Hu, who was at the end of the battle, didn't know what was going on, and suddenly prepared to leave the internal guards on a whim and return to the Overseer's Mansion on his own.

This decision frightened the internal guards, and they persuaded each other to die. The lord's itinerary, such a thing cannot be known by foreign ministers, so only the people in the internal security system can dissuade Zhao Hu from making this decision.

Zhou Wen, who was very caring, couldn't help but agree with Zhao Hu's desire to travel alone when he saw that Zhao Hu was very moved and didn't want to embarrass his subordinates.

Zhou Wen, who is in charge of the secret guard system, is actually not afraid of what danger Zhao Hu will encounter in his own territory, and he has a deep understanding of the ability of the secret guard, so he dares to use his head as a guarantee. However, Zhou Wen only had one request, that is, he had to wait by Zhao Hu's side.

Because Zhao Hu's intention is just to quietly observe the changes in his own territory, and take the opportunity to think about the policy policy, as long as there are not so many people around him.

So he agreed to Zhou Wen's request without thinking about it. In this way, Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen broke away from the inner guard and began their journey.

Although Zhou Wen wears weapons on his waist, along the way, his flower-like beauty still attracts a large number of wild bees and butterflies. It's just that after seeing the rank badge on Zhou Wen's chest, these frivolous boys immediately obediently reined in, saluted respectfully, and then respectfully gave way.

In fact, in order not to cause trouble, Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen were only wearing the lowest level of warrior badges at this time, and such a hierarchical status would not scare people, nor would anyone come to find trouble, saving a lot of trouble.

At noon, Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen rested temporarily in a small teahouse on the side of the road, and as soon as they entered the door, the guests in the teahouse immediately jumped after seeing the badges of the two, and the upper three people bowed, and the lower three people knelt on the ground. After a lively greeting, and then sending those enthusiastic Shangsanmin away, Zhao Hu and Zhou Wen were finally able to eat something and drink tea quietly.

"Lord, didn't you say that you would occupy the eastern boundary of the province in a short period of time, why did you stop the operation after only occupying five pieces of territory? The warlords who pretended to be crazy and stupid could only run back to their nests in great frustration. Zhou Wen asked in a low voice.

At this time, the surrounding people have retreated to the corner, and they are not afraid of being heard at all, even if they are heard, it is not a big deal, under the strict hierarchy, who dares to chew the root of the tongue?

Zhao Hu smiled: "Although it is a short period of time, it can't be so short that it doesn't take a month to occupy so much territory, if you eat too much, you will have indigestion, just now this new five extra territories are enough for us to digest and sort out for a while." ”

"That's just as well." Zhou Wen nodded in agreement, and then remembered something and said: "By the way, the secret guard who monitored Kate made a surprising discovery, Kate actually hooked up with the fourth prince. ”

"Uh, the four princes who occupy the four provinces such as Wenxi, and are the strongest among the many princes? The two are so far apart from each other, how did they get involved? Zhao Hu was very surprised, if among so many princes and princesses, if you want to ask Zhao Hu who cares about the most, it must be this four princes.

Zhao Hu once ordered the secret guards to collect the information of the four princes, and Zhao Hu, who read the information, couldn't help frowning, because the information was too simple.

Before the warlord secession, these four princes had no outstanding place at all, and they were completely unknown, but as soon as the warlords were divided, the four princes immediately became the most powerful warlords.

According to common sense, the four princes should not have such a powerful force, you must know that the four princes are only seventeen or eight years old! It is impossible to establish such forces and connections without more than ten years.

However, judging from the data, these forces are indeed all dominated by the four princes, and the troops he has gathered are loyal to him personally, not to any other forces or his mother's family.

Speaking of the mother family of the four princes, on the surface, he was just a very ordinary earl noble, so ordinary that he grabbed a lot of them in the previous imperial capital. But it's because he's so ordinary that people don't believe in his ordinary.

According to Zhao Hu, this inconspicuous mother family of the Four Princes is likely to be the one who laid the foundation for the Four Princes. I just couldn't find any information to prove it.

Although I can't find even a little information about this matter, I can't blame the secret guards for being useless, mainly because the imperial capital is not their own territory, and in the original incident of the destruction of military registration data, the databases of many nobles were also on fire, and many truths were annihilated.

"Lord, after listening to the conversation between Kate and the envoy of the Four Princes, I know that Kate was the person of the Four Princes before she took refuge in the Seventh Prince, but now that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Kate's wings are stiff and she is not very obedient, so the two sides are a little contradictory." Zhou Wen said.

"Huh? I remember that when the Seven Princes were twelve years old, Kate became a member of the Seven Princes' faction under the guidance of the Seven Princes' mother family.

"So, was Kate already a member of the Four Princes at that time? At that time, the fourth prince should have only been fourteen years old, so he was loyal to Kate at such an age? It's hard to believe. Zhao Hu shook his head with emotion.
