9. Hard bones
In the next two days, my life became very peaceful, mainly because I didn't want to make trouble, because I had just come to this world, I had experienced a big war, and now I was empty, although I enjoyed the powerful feeling of being in control of everything on the battlefield, I still wanted to feel this world similar to ancient China more realistically.
So, in the past two days, I have basically eaten, drunk and wandered around, and occasionally, I will check the people's feelings.
The people of Xingcheng do not reject me as a new appointer, but there is a very bad fact that the vast majority of people in the city have a common point of view, that is, they think that the reason why I can get in the position is because of the relationship between Jiejie, that is to say, I am a little white face in their eyes!
At first, I wanted to tell them the truth, but in hindsight, I thought I was right, because if I did, I would be even more criticized, in the simplest modern terms: to explain is to cover up.
You have to admit that when you go up, you are affected by the negative emotions, so it can be very one-sided, but when you calm down, it's completely different.
Just as I was down-to-earth about the whole thing, I also heard some very good remarks about me later, but it turned out that the people in the army spread the corresponding situation, so many people admired me very much.
That gives my vanity great satisfaction!
Before I knew it, I had come to a mountain peak, and from a high vantage point, I saw a scene not far away, where a group of captives were in chains and mined, and in the middle of the winter, most of them were ragged and overworked, and if they slacked off, they would be spurred on by the discipline on the side.
Those disciplines are really ruthless, and they are completely forcing people to death.
I couldn't look at it anymore, so I just led someone and rushed over to the other side.
"Who are you?" When I was about to enter the corresponding mining site, I was intercepted by the guards on the side, and Zhao Lei behind me immediately shouted: "Bold, when you see your lord, don't salute quickly!" ”
The guards looked at each other, and one of them recognized me, and after calling out that he was the Legionnaire Commander, the crowd panicked and saluted me.
I didn't dump them, but walked straight to the one who was constantly handing at the person he was having.
When he saw me walking towards him, he felt a little panicked and stammered, "My lord." ”
"Who told you to do this to them?" I said coldly.
He was a little puzzled and said, "What? ”
I didn't reply, but glanced at the other squire behind me, who was very good at it, and went straight to help the poor man who had been whipped on the ground.
Seeing this, a person from the nearby mine also knew the opportunity, and actually took medicine to help the man.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but glance at the scheming person and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Back to the adult, the little one is called Chu Liang."
"Good." I said seriously: "From now on, you are the person in charge here." ”
Whether it was the other party or the bystanders on the side, they couldn't react, and then, Chu Liang came back to his senses and said very excitedly: "Lord Xie! ”
I saw him like that, and he was about to kowtow to me.
On the side, one person couldn't understand and said, "My lord, why! I didn't do anything wrong, did I? ”
I glanced at him and said lightly: "In a fundamental sense, you are not at fault, but I'm sorry that there is a change of dynasty here, understand?" ”
When he heard me, he was silent, in fact, if he continued to protest, as long as he could say something that would convince me, I thought I would still give him justice, but if he didn't, I would naturally not be polite.
The world is so realistic, opportunities are never given by others, but you fight for yourself, and you don't even want justice yourself? How could I be so loving as to consider your feelings?
So I continued to announce my new policy: "Don't do this to them anymore, even if they are captives, but they are still human beings, and they are still doing things for us, treat them well, you know?" ”
"My subordinates understand!" Chu Liang swore and said: "My lord, although you can rest assured, your subordinates will definitely implement your original intention." ”
I nodded, and then glanced at the people who were in charge of taking care of this place on the side: "Remember, now is not the past, don't measure the present with the old set, otherwise, I will let you experience their lives!" ”
I could feel their strangeness as I spoke, and they all seemed to feel a chill from my words, and I didn't want to explain that much, so I just left.
Zhao Lei followed me, and then when we were far away from the mine, he reminded me in a good voice: "My lord, the manager of the mine is a relative of the head of Muzi Village in the city. ”
I stopped.
He saw my reaction and quickly shut up.
But I didn't want to blame him for his talking, on the contrary, it just occurred to me that I needed to make some reforms!
I thought of the Shang Dynasty reform in history, but I realized that this is far from enough, Xingcheng is just a city, I want to change now, it can only be a small change, what I need is to take more city territory, and then implement a big change, so that it is efficient.
But after thinking about it, I feel otherwise, because if I don't sweep a house, how can I sweep the world?
Thinking about it this way, my head is a little big, mainly because I suddenly thought of too many things, and only now do I understand a very slap in the face, that is, even if I have read the history of countless dynasties, but those are just words on paper, and when I really put it into reality, everything is another matter.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" Another attendant on the side spoke up.
I said lightly, "It's okay." ”
Then I took them back to my house, because I thought about my territorial system.
This territory system is both familiar and unfamiliar to me, familiar because it is a game that I developed single-handedly, and strange because it is not just a game now, it has become a bug that I can't understand.
Not long after I returned to Xingcheng, Bai Jie found me.
She came for the matter of the mine steward, and the other party was the third son of the head of Muzi Village, Muzi Village is a powerful existence in Xingcheng, because the people there are fierce, they have their own army, and at the same time, the people in their village are very united and only listen to the leaders of the village.
They have a cooperative relationship with our Xingcheng, and they are not really subordinates, as long as they speak in the village, they can completely break away from us, and they live in the mountain village, if I send someone to conquer them, it will be difficult!
The most important point is that the people in their village will release poison, and most of the credit for the guards of Tianmen Pass should be credited to their poison.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the personal abilities of the people in their village are very unusual, and they are basically masters who can fight several times, even if they are a lot of old people, or children who don't understand the world, their combat ability is equally strong.
It is safe to say that Muzi Village is a hard bone in Xingcheng that cannot be solved at all!
