Chapter 749: The blood of the countrymen is strong
Accompanied by the ministers, Qingji came to the kitchen shed on the side of the construction site to inspect.
The rations of the Kunlun slaves, two meals a day, and the dishes are not ordinarily poor.
Not to mention the clear soup and little water, there are only scattered vegetable leaves floating on the porridge water in the pot, which is really hard to swallow when you look at it.
There is not the slightest hint of fleshy foam!
No oil or water!
"This ......"
Seeing this kind of food for the first time, Gongzi Hong couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Is this for people to eat?
It's clearly pig food!
Even the victims in some parts of Wu State can't eat this kind of porridge and water, let alone Kunlun slaves who have to bear heavy labor every day?
"Father, my son, I think it is necessary to improve the quality of food at the construction site."
"If not, how can these Kunlun slaves have the strength to work? I'm afraid that every once in a while, many Kunlun slaves will starve to death, and the gains really outweigh the losses."
This time, you really can't blame Gongzihong for being too compassionate.
Even Qingji thought that Wu Guo had gone too far in the matter of food for Kunlun slaves.
You must know that Wu Guocang is sufficient, and the treasury is piled up with money, where will there be such a small ration?
No wonder, before Qingji saw the Kunlun slaves who were working on the construction site and were busy, most of them were so hungry that their eyes were white and skinny, this was starved!
Every once in a while, the bodies of Kunlun slaves will be carried to mass graves.
Some of them were not exhausted, but starved to death......
"Tian Sui Tho, what do you think? Do you want to improve the food of Kunlun Nu?"
Qingji glanced at Tian Sui Tho, who was following him.
"My lord, the minister thinks it's inappropriate."
Tian Sui Tho thought for a moment, and then replied with a frown: "Right now, there are more than 30,000 Kunlun slaves working on the construction site of Luoyin City alone."
"Not to mention how much the state needs to spend to improve their food, so many Kunlun slaves, some are tame, some are rebellious, if they are fed, the minister is worried that there may be trouble and a lot of chaos."
"Please think twice, the King!"
As soon as Tian Sui's voice fell, Gongzi Xi said, "Father, the son thinks what Tian Zi said is very true."
"After all, Kunlun Nu is not the same as other people, if they are allowed to eat and drink enough, there are some more undesirable thoughts, and then the retainers are afraid that it will cause a catastrophe."
"Good."
Qingji nodded in agreement.
Gongzihong shook his head and said, "Father, the sons and daughters think that they should still improve their food."
"Kunlun slaves don't need to eat and drink enough, but they must be some oily and half-full, so that they can have enough energy to work and not consume labor and cause more unnecessary losses."
In Qingji's view, Gongzihong's proposition is quite desirable.
Those who are half-full will not gain an inch.
After all, Kunlun Nu is not a real animal, but a living person!
Wu Guo can't treat Kunlun slaves like he really treats animals!
Qingji immediately adopted Gongzihong's proposal to improve the food of Kunlun Nu, so that they could devote more energy to work and reduce unnecessary deaths.
After inspecting Luoyin City, Qingji's patrol team went all the way south to Chongcheng.
What no one knows is that when night falls, in the distance of the Luoyin construction site, there is a mass grave, and a hand crawls out of the pile of dead people.
The corpses of the mass graves, which had been piled up, emitted a scorching smell, and white bones were placed in them.
To prevent the plague, the corpses in the mass graves were burned every few days.
Even, some Kunlun slaves who were infected with diseases and could not be treated would be thrown into mass graves.
At this moment, Wu Nafa, who everyone thought was dead, covered his chest that had stopped bleeding and slowly crawled out.
His face was full of hatred, and his eyes were like fierce beasts, exuding terrifying killing intent.
"Celebration...... Wu! Wait! I'm going to get my revenge!"
"Revenge!"
The hoarse voice, echoing in the silent mountain forest, endured for a long time.
One or two Kunlun slaves who were not yet dead heard this somewhat familiar language, and they all screamed a few times, not knowing what to do.
……
Following.
The sun is shining and the sky is clear.
At this time, Qingji was in a wilderness on the outskirts of Chongcheng, drinking and feasting with the ministers and the leaders of the Rongdi tribe.
Rong Di is a native of Sanchuan County, with a population of less than 100,000, but Qingji needs to rely on them to raise war horses for the Wu State, so he can do the same as the Chinese people, and treat everyone equally.
However, while Qingji was having a feast with the clan leaders, something unpleasant happened.
Lu Hunrong's leader was slightly drunk, so he took advantage of the wine, plucked up his courage, bowed to Qingji on the quadrangle platform, and bowed to the chest salute, and said, "The king, when you come to Sanchuan County, the minister has a matter, and he really doesn't vomit or be unhappy, and please make a clear decision!"
"Please."
"Great King, three days ago, one of my tribes in Lu Hun Rong was attacked by hundreds of thieves, and in addition to the fierce battle, my Lu Hun Rong also killed twenty-seven people, and countless people were seriously injured. Please make the decision for Lu Hun Rong and execute all those thieves to set an example!"
「……」
Qingji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
A battle of hundreds, or even thousands?
Such a big thing can't be held up no matter what.
To this day, Qingji has not received any news.
This had to make Qingji suspicious of Tian Sui Tho.
After all, Tian Sui Tho now wears many hats, not only as the general of Zhenbei in Wu State, but also as the county guard of Sanchuan County, and he also has the title of governor of Dadu.
Although Tian Sui Tho's authority is great, it is equivalent to a feudal official of one party, but in such a major rush incident, how dare Tian Sui Tho hide it from Qing Ji and not report it?
"Tian Sui Tho, can there be such a thing?"
Looking at Qing Ji's suspicious gaze, Tian Sui Tho had to stand up stiffly, and then bowed to Qing Ji and said, "King, there is indeed something wrong. However, it was not the thieves who attacked Lu Hunrong's tribe, but Li Shu, who migrated from Nanyang County and Nanjun."
"Such a big incident of civil fighting, the minister did not dare to hide it. It's just that...... It happened for a reason."
"Lu Hunrong's tribe first bullied the migrants, injured or even disabled more than a dozen people, and the relatives of those disabled people, the neighbors were also angry for a while, so they made a move with anger and fought with Lu Hunrong's tribe."
"There were casualties on both sides, but they were stopped by officers and soldiers in time, and now nearly 1,000 people are all being held and waiting to be released."
Tian Sui Tho does things in a decent manner.
For such a big thing, it is natural to wait for Qingji's instructions before he dares to send it.
It seems that Tian Sui Tho is still on the side of the remnants of the old Chu.
At this time, as the leader of the Yin Rong tribe who had a good relationship with Lu Hurong, Taojia stood up and said, "Great King, although Lu Hun Rong provoked those Chu people first. However, it was the Chu people who started the battle first, and in terms of the number of dead and wounded, Lu Hun Rong was the majority!"
"Please also ask the king to distinguish between right and wrong, make decisions for Lu Hun Rong, and release Lu Hun Rong who is still in prison."
