Nati has curly hair that is carefully cared for, which is her well-maintained 'trademark' and her personal signature. However, Nati's hobbies before her great achievements were cultivating flowers and plants, kneeling on the mud floor and walking around dirtily all day long.

During this time, she has another hobby that requires her to kneel down often, but usually on the floor. The things that need to be touched are not very similar to earthworms, much stronger than earthworms, and some people will be angry if they call it earthworms.

Zhou Shu was able to come back safely so that her hanging heart finally returned to her stomach, and she was in a good mood and wanted to play with the big earthworm, but she was bumped into by the bird of Hundred Tongues.

Zhou Shu patted Nati on the head, told her to get up, and went to talk to Baiyu in her clothes.

Baiyu knows very well what kind of virtue a man is, and she is now full of anger, not angry at anyone else, but blaming herself for being unlucky enough to see that disgusting thing, it's just unlucky.

"Tell me, Miss Duke, what do you want to tell me? I'm listening to it now. ”

Noodles {} to a hundred tongues, Master Zhou is still more polite. After all, she is a partner, and she has a lot of things to do on her side. He also has to have a good agent to get rid of it, and he doesn't really want to get rid of it, he has his own things to do, and before that, he needs the city to recover from the state of military management, and there is a certain economic scale and commercial scale.

As the 21st century, mixing in a place where 'hard currency' doesn't work is still a bit constrained. Especially if you can open a 'hard currency'.

Baiyu told Zhou Shu about what he had heard from the officer about the 'scum'. She felt that he should be interested, or have some affection for it.

"Are you happy that your neighbors have given you a great gift to become the lord of a land, and tens of thousands of civilians are under your command?"

Baiyu put on a smug face, wanting to see Zhou Shu deflated. Zhou Shu pondered for a while with a helpless face, "Displaced patients, criminals and mentally ill...... Did those guys from the east send some girls over?" he seemed to have heard of such a story, which happened between two rogue states.

"What?" Baiyu glanced contemptuously at Zhou Shu's room, "You've had enough of the one inside and want a new one?"

'Smack', at the same time as the hundred tongues fell to the ground. Zhou Shu flicked her head and used all her strength.

Baiyu took this trick, and lay down directly on the spot, curling up and rolling back and forth according to his head.

Zhou Shu was almost so angry by her words just now that he broke her arm, but he was rational and only flicked his head.

"You're going a little too far, it's not that I want to take the opportunity to trouble you, so if you think I'm going too far, you can stab your head back with a knife if it doesn't hurt for a while. I don't fight back. ”

Zhou Shu relied on his own blood bar to be thicker. A very unfair build was proposed.

It took a while for Baiyu to get up from the ground, his entire forehead was swollen, and it was still in pain, and his tears slipped down his face, but he didn't cry out of pain.

What she said when she got up from the ground surprised Zhou Shu a little, "I apologize, I said something very inappropriate." ”

Baiyu wasn't like this before, before she was imprisoned in the officer's mansion in White Moon City. I can't even say a dirty word. However, she has a better understanding, and she learned a lot of new terms from the people there in two days. Also used to cursing others.

"I accept the apologies and forgive you for Nattie. Don't tell her about this, I'm afraid she'll kill you. ”

"Whatever. "Baiyu will have a headache, and some can't listen to Zhou Shu's words.

"Eat a candy?"

"The kind that can heal?"

"Hmm. ”

Hyakyu nodded, took the jelly beans and swallowed them. Her food for the past two days is still good, and the people take good care of her. So she chewed this candy directly, completely forgetting about the painstaking work she had to take for a while longer.

Zhou Shu didn't expect this woman to stop crying or making trouble after he beat her, and took the initiative to apologize. This made him worry that Baiyu was lying on his back and trying his guts, holding back his bad intentions to deal with himself. However, there is no need to use suspicious people, he thinks it is better not to think cranky.

The hundred tongues smashed the taste of cantaloupe in the mouth. It's very strange about sugar, "Do you have a lot of these miracle medicines?"

"It's not a lot, it's quite lacking. "Zhou Shu told a lie in order to let Baiyu remember his goodness.

"That's right...... It's a pity. If the quantity is large, it may be possible to use this thing to exchange a large amount of huàn materials. ”

"With whom, do you have a good goal?"

Hearing this, Baiyu put on a mentally handicapped look, "You are a hero of this country, don't you know people who need this kind of thing?"

"You mean let me find someone? ”

The two have completely different mindsets and different needs. Baiyu wants to exchange some supplies to feed the Sword Blade Plains, and now the Sword Blade Plains is too depressed. Before Zhou Shu, the king of the plains, came here, the people below had already scraped away the benefits that could be grabbed from this land, so Baiyu wanted to accumulate some things.

Although it is not long after the war, you can use wartime thinking to do some things, the so-called concentration of forces to do big things, but Zhou Shu does not want to do this. Rather than exchanging supplies, he wanted to contact some local merchants, develop some mature trading channels, and hand over these profits to the people to restore the vitality of the place, and what free merchants could do was always more comprehensive.

Zhou Shu told sù hundred tongues, don't beat your own sugar idea. This kind of thing used to be given to Midali to let her use it to make some extra money, but it was not suitable for taking it out to operate, he didn't want to concentrate all the country's funds in his own hands, and spending money reasonably was also a headache. If you don't spend it properly, it will cause a big mess, and there are many examples of this.

"Let's put aside the business matters for now, and then think about it after the military management is over. When the time comes, it will be nice to see how much economic vitality the city still has, how many businessmen will come sniffing out the benefits, and when the time comes, just try to satisfy them. Zhou Shu forcibly ended the topic, he was more interested in another thing than this. "Let's talk about what you call 'scum'. ”

"Oh, that's great. Baiyu clapped his hand gently. "It's my turn, isn't it? ”

Zhou Shu: "Please." ”

There is no doubt that human survival itself requires the consumption of resources. The tens of thousands of people sent by the East Country are currently a mess and need to be managed, otherwise I don't know what they will do to plunder the resources of survival for these poor people who have no assets.

So far, the six cities in the Sword Blade Plains region have taken over a total of 50,000 of them. This is obviously only a temporary number and will continue to increase.

Since it is to be managed in a unified manner, then it is necessary to give them food and basic living guarantees, and money and manpower are needed.

"I know you can conjure up a golden ......" Baiyu looked unhappy and envied Zhou Shu's strength, "...... But I have to warn you, you can't be a babysitter for these people all the time. ”

"So what are you going to do?" Zhou Shu asked.

"Now that admirer of yours is the pig-like chief of the town, who is selling the able-bodied and young women of the scum into slavery to the rest of your country. ”

"It's our country. Zhou Shu corrected, "At least you are from my side for the time being." ”

"If you belong, feel free. Hundred tongues waved his hand impatiently. Continue the topic. "I think this approach will have a bad effect on the civilian population, and if you want to restore order to the entire Western Plains and not be in deep fear, you should stop it. ”

"No problem. You go ahead and do it, it's all up to you. ”

"I'll do it. Baiyu nodded, "But what about your handling of it, and what are you going to do with these displaced people who have entered the country?"

"Well. That's a good thing, and I'm glad that someone sent me labor when the population was devastated after the war. ”

Hearing this, Baiyu's heart sank, "You don't want to use them as your personal slaves, do you?"

In the war between the East and the West. There have been a lot of captives, including military and civilians who had invaded their homes. Those who were captured were usually sold into slavery. Some of them exchanged money with the enemy countries, but there were also some lords who gathered thousands of slaves in their private names to reclaim the forests and dig for ores.

The group of slaves who were gathered together were forced to work until they died, but this was not far off for them, and it usually took less than two or three years for them to die of overwork, nutrition, and disease. Close your eyes with pain and curses for the world.

"It's not going to work. You can't do this. Baiyu said with a gloomy face: "Those people are not ordinary civilian prisoners, there are a large number of criminals among them, and it is easy to make a mess if you accept it yourself." They cannot be gathered together, in case a small group grows among them, or if some 'leader' emerges. It's a nuisance for us. They must be decentralized!"

Zhou Shu listened to Baiyu's words and nodded frequently, but he was not agreeing with Baiyu's speech, but agreeing with a guess that had just been generated in his mind.

"Baiyu, Baiyu, I really didn't expect that you are still a very sympathetic person. I understand that you care about those people, don't worry, I'm not in the mood to manage those people, I'll let them go. ”

Baiyu looked at the smiling face of the man in front of him, and his eyes widened more and more, "What do you mean by that? I have no sympathy! Those people are the scum of the East Country! I am just fulfilling my promise to help you manage your territory! Because I will definitely take this place back in the future!!!"

"Okay, okay. Zhou Shu continued to keep a smile, "I know you are tsundere, don't sell attributes anymore." I know this in my heart, and when the officers are finished, you can order them to be released. ”

"Who do you say is Tsundere!" Baiyu pulled out a protective knife from his waist and pointed at Zhou Shu, "I want you to take back your words!"

Translator ......

Baiyu seems to be very sensitive to the foreign word 'tsundere', that is, 'tired of rubbing'. The term "Zhou Shude" seems to have appeared in Japan in 2002, and it was probably after 2004 that it became popular and spread to China.

He wasn't sure he had the right grasp of the history of the word, or at least that's what he had heard, a word born out of a male-oriented love game. He was sure that the word in his mouth had been translated into something strange by the witch's translator, at least Moyakyu could understand, but he clearly didn't like it.

Zhou Shu was tired of the translator, but he didn't have the time and patience to learn a new foreign language, he was still illiterate in Baiyue Kingdom, and he would rather learn the words of the lingua franca at that time.

Although he said before that he was willing to let Baiyu stab him. But now is different from just now, Zhou Shu is not ready to suffer, and raised his hand to confiscate her murder weapon.

One blow missed, and Baiyu was not ready to attack the second time, and decided to force himself not to be as knowledgeable as the person in front of him.

Zhou Shu explained what she was going to do a little after she calmed down a little.

"I want to let them all go and let them go back to their freedom. ”

"You're going to leave them to fend for themselves?"

"Strictly speaking......" Zhou Shu nodded. “...... That is true. But I think they'll live well, they're all people with hands and feet, and they can go and find jobs. ”

"I don't think you're crazy or have no common sense. ”

In Baiyu's opinion, this group of people is a nuisance wherever they go, how can someone hire them. The storage of these people has no value and only consumes resources. The more people like this, the more troublesome this society will be, after all, resources are fixed.

"I don't agree with you. "Zhou Shu couldn't understand it at all. Why is this general thinking about family planning still occurring in such a country where there is such a great need for population?

"As long as everyone gives them work and makes them work, they can support themselves, and in addition there is something left, which is surplus value. Zhou Shu picked up Lao Ma's theory of surplus value, this guy, as the founder of a certain party's theory, the greatest value in his life is to explain how capitalism makes money. "Some resources may be constant, but most are variables. The more people, the higher the suzhì. The more resources can be discovered, developed, and created. ”

Bai Yu said that she understood these truths, and what she wanted to say was that the whole plain had just ended the battle, and it would take a long time to restore business. Even if these people do find work, it is not known how long it will be before they do, and it is estimated that most of them will starve to death during this time.

"Far water can't save near fire. What you're saying is of no use at all!"

Zhou Shu smiled: "That's why I'm looking for you to help, hurry up and provide them with a job, I gave you the capital." ”

At this time, the hundred tongues have been determined, and the guy in front of him is a scoundrel. "Thank you for looking at me like that. She said this, and turned around and walked away with a huff. Leave the back of the hard stomping on the floor to Zhou Shu-

The devastation of a city after the war was a commonplace, or rather a routine. Nikko Castle was not destroyed due to the surrender of Duke Kuroba.

Since this is a city without walls, the surrender of Duke Kuroba was only a last resort, but he saved this place.

The softer the object, the less likely it is to be damaged by impact, and the stronger it is, the edges and corners will be removed. That's what Nikko City looks like.

However, the city, which was not greatly affected by the war, had some big trouble last night.

Zhou Shu single-handedly ran to other people's strongholds and burned and exploded, although the flames were recovered, but it was inevitable that there were some omissions, and there were several fires in the city. As for the place he attacked, it was inevitable that it would be reduced to ruins, except for the last stronghold where he had stayed overnight.

The Plains Justice Enforcement Association is a civil society organization in Nikko City. During the reign of Duke Black Feather, they were considered a killer group, specifically against the duke, and they have not been eliminated for so many years, which is their biggest and brightest record.

After the land is occupied by enemy countries, the members of the Justice Society cooperate with the soldiers of the enemy-occupied area of Higashino Province and are determined to retake the Plains of the Sword Blade.

Since the first day of their battle with the garrison of Nikko, they had never suffered such a terrible defeat.

Some members of the Justice Society who were released by Zhou Shu spread the news that they had seen and trusted the city lord to the organization.

In a large-scale residential bedroom in Xicheng District, a weak girl who was coerced by Zhou Shu and sang a minor tune all night was lying on the bed, breathing weakly and rapidly, her eyes closed and her expression was painful.

Around her, there were nearly ten male and female goddesses, anxiously waiting for an old man in a robe who looked like a doctor to make a conclusion about his condition.

These were the three doctors they had found, and like the first two, after the examination, the doctors shook their heads at everyone.

"It was a complication caused by a throat injury, and now we don't have medicine to help her with her fever or suppress her temperature. If there is ice...... Maybe you can suppress the ...... of the disease", the two doctors also said.

Military management, for these civilians of the country of the east who are trapped in Xicheng District. The only thing they have is a place to live.

"Ice, someone has already gone looking for it!"

A young male man took a step forward from the crowd and said this, and the doctor only smiled and did not answer.

Even in the winter of the most prosperous period of Nikko City, there may not necessarily be ice in the Duke's ice storehouse. And even more so now.

Seeing that his words didn't seem to be believed, the young man explained with some excitement, "Our people saw a short-haired woman selling ice cubes on the street yesterday, as long as we find her, we will definitely be able to save the water birds!"

Waterfowl is the name of the girl in bed, and her father is a member of the management of the Justice Society, and most of the leaders of the Society died at the hands of Zhou Shu yesterday.

The top management of the Justice Society gathered at a base last night to discuss the initiative during the day. The outcome of the discussion is now unknown. The meeting didn't end as smoothly as it had always been.

The army in Soucheng made trouble all night yesterday, and early this morning, the people of the Justice Society learned that all the high-ranking officials of their house had been attacked and attacked, and no one survived.

At this moment, the entire resistance group is in fear and confusion.

According to the information given by the base where the water bird is located, the new lord of the castle is the enemy general who single-handedly killed hundreds of guardian saints. They organized a revolt of the people. It doesn't seem to be able to do harm to this person. Counting what he forced Mizufin to do, it can be determined that this is a lustful and cruel person.

In the face of such an enemy. They don't know what to do.

The doctor didn't take the ice cube seriously at all. He pulled out the vial he was carrying from the occupation army, carefully poured out the ointment and applied it to the patient's swollen throat.

The throat of the waterfowl is broken and bleeding, and the medicine cannot be taken.

"That beast! How you spoil a girl like this!"

The young people have a somewhat favorable impression of the waterfowl, and the survivors have repeatedly clarified that her throat was forced to sing as it is. It didn't stop all night and there was no water to drink. But the youth and others believe that the survivors are merely covering for the reputation of the waterfowl.

A man, a vile and shameless scoundrel, stayed in the stronghold for the night, and then the throat of the beautiful and weak waterfowl was swollen. Youth skepticism. The survival of these survivors is probably due to the sacrifice of the waterfowl.

After taking the medicine, the doctor asked the idlers to go out of the room, leaving only one or two people to take care of them, the room needed to be ventilated, and the patient needed to be quiet.

A group of men exited the room and went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor. At this time, the place was already full of people, all of them small leaders of the Justice Society.

This time, the organization has suffered a catastrophe, and all the leaders have been killed, and they need to elect a new leader.

"Before discussing leadership candidates...... We seem to have more important matters to discuss......" There were countless discussions in the crowd, and at this time, someone stepped forward to mention yì, and put the matter of choosing a leader on hold for the time being. “...... Rather than fighting for power, it seems that we should think about how to deal with the Earl of the Killing God of that enemy country. As long as he's alive, there is a chance that last night's events will be repeated, and we won't even be able to sleep soundly. ”

Strictly speaking, since the occupation of Sunshine City, there are not many people in the Justice Church who are in the mood to sleep peacefully, but this is the first time they have come so close to death.

"It seems that the only way to find someone to poison the earl is to find someone. When will the surviving brothers have the Earl's portrait finished?"

"Soon, it will be done today. ”

"Poisoning is a good idea, but with the castle's current defenses, how can we get close to him?"

The Society of Justice has a skilled apothecary, and the poison used in yesterday's pool came from his hand. At this point in the topic, everyone in the organization turned their attention to a woman sitting at the very edge.

"Do you have any poison there that would allow us to ...... without entering the castle?"

"No!" the pharmacist refused, "and I advise you, poison is a woman's weapon, and since it is war now, you men had better rely on knives and guns." ”

The rest of the pharmacist's temper organization knew that she had a very unpleasant past, and could tolerate her. As for what she said, there is some truth in it. Now his own warriors have not made formal contact with the earl, so there is no need to be scared like this by him.

"Where are the steel backs and steel tails? Why haven't you seen them all this time?"

Someone asked where two of the most combat-ready fighters in the group were. Soon a voice replied, "They went to help the waterfowl find ice, but they found the woman who sold ice yesterday, but she was injured by her, and she is recuperating in their quarters" (to be continued............
