Under the personal welcome of Liu Chengyou, when he arrived in Zhending City, it was already evening, and there was only a little residual sun left in the sky, and the warm breeze was blowing, which was extremely comfortable.

The brothers walked side by side, still talking with each other, most of them were Liu Chengxun who took the initiative to bring up the topic, as for Liu Chengyou, he always showed a reserved demeanor.

His eldest brother seems to have suddenly shown a strong interest in the war, or he is very interested in Liu Chengyou's career in the past few months.

Zhending City in the twilight, illuminated by the lights of the stars, has clear layers, there are many people, and it looks quite lively. Centered on the city, there are many temporary refugee shelters on the periphery. The lights flickered, a little dazed, and looked a little dreamy in the hazy twilight.

Inevitably, it is noisy and chaotic, but in the chaos, it clearly reflects the order, which seems to be very contradictory, but it can make people feel the rare stability in the troubled times.

Although many refugees and displaced people were evacuated by Liu Chengyou to the counties under the rule of Zhenzhou for resettlement, Zhending is still the largest gathering place, plus the original people and army, the number of people is more than tens of thousands. All the way through the camp, Liu Chengxun found that there were many people who were obviously hungry, but they were not noisy or moaning, even if the twilight was shrouded, they could still find the hope contained in the looks of many people.

The army passed by, either out of fear or out of respect, and the people along the way took the initiative to retreat from it. Seeing that these people were being governed by Liu Chengyou in an orderly and orderly manner, Liu Chengxun was very surprised and emotional.

However, in all peaceful atmospheres, there is always discord. Under the city gate, a boxy platform was erected, and several thick wooden stakes were erected on it, and some people were tied to the stakes, all of whom looked like strong people, bound by ropes, unable to move. One by one looked desperate, and a few of them, probably after the daytime exposure, were still in a state of fainting.

"Erlang, what are these?" Pointing to those people, Liu Chengxun asked Liu Chengyou suspiciously.

Liu Chengyou said calmly: "They are all death row prisoners who are about to be executed!" ”

This is a torture table, used to execute prisoners, and from the strong smell of blood that permeates the surrounding area, it is clear that many people have been killed.

Seeing that Liu Chengxun was curious, Liu Chengyou explained it simply. Liu Chengyou, a displaced person, was basically controlled semi-militarized, and in order to stabilize order, several temporary decrees were issued. Death to the thief, death to the looter, death to the fighter, death to the one who disobeys orders, not to mention wounding and killing...... Basically, the red line of punishment is reduced to a minimum.

And those people on the torture platform obviously violated Liu Chengyou's ban, were arrested by the patrol guards, exposed to the public, and executed the next day.

After listening to Liu Chengyou's bland description, Liu Chengxun was stunned, took a breath of the air with the smell of blood, and then said a little hesitantly: "Is it too harsh to use such a punishment?" ”

Liu Chengyou glanced at Liu Chengxun, his eldest brother, there seemed to be some unbearability in his eyes. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou replied softly: "Punish the country and use heavy punishments." ”

Liu Chengxun obviously wanted to say something, but Liu Chengyou pointed directly to the city pass, diverted the topic and said: "I have ordered someone to summon Zhending Wenwu to welcome the eldest brother." ”

Looking at his younger brother's calm face, which was both strange and familiar, Liu Chengxun opened his mouth, but sighed and didn't say anything. I secretly guessed in my heart that it was because I went to the battlefield, and under the influence of the killing aura, Erlang's murderous intent became so heavy.

Liu Chengyou naturally didn't care about his eldest brother's complicated thoughts at this time, turned his head to look at the soldiers patrolling the camps, and glanced at the people on the execution platform. Retracting his gaze, he regained his composure.

Harsh punishments? That's for sure. However, I have to think that inside and outside the city, more than 100,000 people gather together, where is it so easy to achieve harmonious coexistence. Peasants, merchants, laborers, women and children, and even thieves and criminals were mixed in. Previously, Liu Chengyou had already seen that kind of disorder and chaos.

In such a situation, it is definitely better to establish a strict order than disorder, although it is simple and crude, but the effect is directly useful, and the result is evident in this case. Even if it's overkill, it's worth the cost.

Since Liu Chengyou accepts these refugees, they have to abide by the rules, in fact, as long as they abide by the rules, they have no worries about their lives. And those who are killed in violation of the law are always those who are restless.

Zhending City is another scene, the city walls are obviously repaired, and the destroyed houses are also being rebuilt. With so much cheap people's power, Liu Chengyou took the opportunity to make good use of it.

In the state office, at Liu Chengyou's arrangement, civil and military ministers gathered to greet Liu Chengxun and participate in the reception banquet prepared by Liu Chengyou. The banquet was very simple, Liu Chengyou didn't want to make "Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road with frozen bones", Liu Chengxun obviously also expressed his understanding.

Replacing the wine room with water, looking at the civil and military affairs in the hall, Liu Chengxun felt emotion in his heart again. The second man of his family is really full of talents now......

The next day, Liu Chengyou continued to put down the affairs in his hands, personally did the reception work, and accompanied his eldest brother to inspect inside and outside the city. The government, the people, and the military inspected them in turn, and even took Liu Chengxun to several Yan camps.

However, what Liu Chengxun cares about after all is the results of the first battle in Luancheng. He came here, but he was ordered by Liu Zhiyuan to be escorted south to Tokyo. The order, Liu Chengyou also received it a long time ago, if he was unhappy, he naturally had it in his heart, and it was not small, but he didn't show it at all, but actively cooperated.

Liu Chengyou's mind is very clear-headed, whether it is out of favor or for the country, he has to abandon his private thoughts. On the contrary, some soldiers made some complaints, and they were severely reprimanded and punished by Liu Chengyou early.

In light of this matter, Liu Chengyou should exercise his own strength, and look at this problem from the height of Jiangshan Sheji, he is extremely open-minded, and is even willing to ease the state finances by seizing financial weapons.

When he saw the gold, silver, armor, and goods piled up like gravel in the city, and looked at those war horses, Liu Chengxun was also dazzled. In fact, the amount of wealth plundered by the Khitans from the Central Plains is so huge that what Liu Chengyou has really accumulated is only three or four percent. The rest were either distributed as rewards or lost in the war, and many were transported back to China by the Khitans, which was ordered by Yelu Deguang very early.

"One can imagine how far our people have been captive and exploited by the Hu people!" Liu Chengxun didn't show greed, just sighed and mourned the people.

After walking around, Liu Chengxun decisively told Liu Chengyou that he was going to visit Feng Dao's former ministers of Shi Jin, and he seemed to be impatient and attached great importance to it.

Liu Chengyou continued to be a guide, leading him to visit one by one, and as a result, the gentleness and humility of the eldest prince won the praise and appreciation of a group of old ministers.

From beginning to end, Liu Chengyou looked light-hearted, but at the end, he took Liu Chengxun with him to visit Zhao Yanshou again. Regarding Youyan's plan, Liu Chengyou is planning to pull his eldest brother into the water.
