Chapter 663: Soaring Forward (5)

Luo Ming is not a stingy person, and he is happy to see the people live a little better.

And Grant followed him for this reason, in her mind, Luo Ming, who is world-minded, down-to-earth, and has practical development theories and means, is simply a sage from heaven.

But Luo Ming also knows that people's desires are almost unlimited, and if they are easily satisfied once, not only will they not be cherished, but they will easily grow their appetites.

On the modern earth, the more poverty alleviation people become, the lazier and poorer they become, and the more subsidies they have, the more they treat themselves as uncles.

Of course, it can't be like this for everyone, but conversely, it's not possible for everyone not to be like this.

As long as one or two such scum appear, it will quickly bring about many people and a large area of social atmosphere.

When the time comes, if you want to correct unhealthy tendencies, it will not be something that can be easily done by punishing one or two people.

Of course, even if it is a hundred people and a thousand people, Luo Ming can punish and kill, raze villages, and destroy towns, but this is not good, for example, Luo Ming will lose this group of people, and will suffer a lot of losses in terms of soldiers, taxes, and reputations.

Now the main purpose of borrowing the heads of certain criminals is actually to deter.

Only the bloody reality can make people soberly realize that their master has changed, and know that the new lord Luo Ming is a ruthless person who doesn't mind going on a killing spree.

Only in this way can he receive more and more lasting gratitude when he shows kindness to people.

This is a very simple truth, people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

The great benevolent man with a gentle personality is always met with malicious suspicion and insatiable greed, but the only god in a certain mythology sends down a favor and kills the whole family on those who offend it, and he is widely revered and loved.

If you don't kill, it's already a favor, and if you give them some favors, they will naturally be grateful.

And it is much better to kill criminals as a deterrent than to kill innocent people.

After this wave of killings, the most intuitive reaction was that social security suddenly became much better.

Originally, the most conspicuous group of criminals had been completely eliminated, and those who had the potential to commit crimes would turn pale with fright, and would not dare to come out to cause trouble for the time being.

Of course, this wonderful state of affairs cannot last, even if Luo Ming finds new criminals to come out every week, but killing people too diligently will also make civilians get used to it.

But it is enough for this state to last for a while, one is to make Luo Ming's work smoother, and the other is to create an atmosphere:

As soon as Luo Ming's people arrived, social order became better. Compared with the previous wars, and even before the wars, the level of rule of the original owners of these lands is very different.

Moreover, the degree of cooperation of the local people with Luo Ming's subordinates has also increased by more than one grade, and the work of counting household registration, population, and acres of land has been carried out smoothly.

These works may encounter a lot of resistance in ordinary times, and there are even incidents of "killing the Qincha", "Yin soldiers borrowing grain", and "burning the warehouse with a fire dragon".

Even if you don't talk about those appalling things, you will at least encounter a lot of concealment and falsehood in normal times, but few people have the courage to do this at the moment.

A few people may still be lucky, but other people in the know are unwilling to accompany this kind of person to wade into troubled waters, and as soon as Luo Ming's officials arrive, they will take the initiative to report it.
