While the various bullies and aristocrats were on trial, the Red Pavilion began to repair the ruined city, re-measure the land, and allocate residences, farmland, shops, workshops, and other means of production.

The remaining nobles have been shocked by the public trial and verdict of the Red Pavilion, and the few remaining lucks in their hearts are gone. Especially seeing Cyril's tragic death, they knew very well that the people in the Red Pavilion were a group of undoubted ruthless characters, and there was only one way to live.

Cooperate.

Thanks to the high degree of cooperation of these nobles, the progress of the work has also been accelerated a lot.

Similarly, as Prime Minister Satyr's head fell to the ground, the traitors who were corrupt and did all kinds of evil also confessed their crimes in batches and begged for forgiveness from the Red Pavilion. Shockingly, they spit out more than three times as much money as the state treasury.

"It's really a rat in a granary." Lydia couldn't help but laugh, "With this group of people here, the country can't perish?" ”

While Lydia was sighing, Fili came to report, "We still have a lot of problems in renovating the city. I have an immature idea, can the princess give me some pointers? ”

"Let's talk about it." Lydia looked sideways and didn't smile, thinking to herself: I don't dare to say the idea of not smiling, it seems that I am immature enough.

"Those traitors are corrupt and bribed, but they have enough power and connections. We're in the starting stages, and if they use their abilities, they might be able to help us. ”

Buxiao directly rejected this proposal, "Use it, and it will eventually be counterattacked." ”

Seeing Fili's ignorant look, Lydia explained: "Let's imagine that if a traitor presided over the construction of a city, and he built it very well and made great achievements, would you reward him at this time?" ”

This question directly blinded Fille.

Rewarding a corrupt person makes those who are honest and honest think, and what does the people of the Wild Sand Empire think.

But he did make a great contribution, and if he was not rewarded, what would that make those who also worked hard think.

Following this line of thought, Filip thought of more dilemmas: if this traitor made meritorious service, should he be given an official position? What if I am given an official position, and the old disease recurs in the future, and I go to the adulterous department again?

Fili's expression darkened, and he sighed, "I'm thinking too simply. ”

"The premise of talent must be an individual first, and then it can be judged." Lydia patted him on the shoulder, "I suddenly remembered that there was a very brave man in the history of my previous life, although he was unparalleled in battle, he has always been despised. ”

Fili wondered, "There are still such people?" ”

Lydia couldn't help but laugh first, "For the sake of status, he recognized two stepfathers before and after, and finally killed them all for a higher status, he is simply a stepfather killer." ”

Fili nodded with a deep groan, and suddenly asked, "What should we do with those captured enemy generals, they have been locked up in the barracks, and it is not very convenient." ”

didn't smile, his face sank, and the sentence "kill all" on his lips was about to come out.

"I have a plan for the rehabilitation of prisoners of war." Lydia hurriedly spoke up to save another bloody tragedy.

Hei Ningxue reminded on the side, "Those are the remnants of Darius and the old royal family, and they are called prisoners of war if they sound good, and war criminals if they don't sound good." ”

"That's a bit of a generalization." Lydia scratched her head, "Prisoners of war should be divided into at least three categories: ordinary soldiers are mostly pawns, and they can be let go; Ordinary military officers usually commit crimes abusing public office, mainly through education and reform; The high-level who provoked the war are the real war criminals, and they are more suitable to be sent to the guillotine. ”

Danica has been following not smiling all year round, and has already learned a little bit of the truth about not smiling. casually said what he didn't laugh at: "What the princess said is really complicated, it's better to kill them all to save time and effort." ”

Lydia pursed her lips, "Of course those people are guilty, and there are thousands of reasons to kill them. It's just that we have to think about it from another angle, what is the point of killing them to relieve their anger? ”

Hei Ningxue couldn't help but complain about the princess who was full of hearts, "The princess is merciful, what is the point of keeping them and not killing them?" ”

Lydia thought for a moment, "Tsukihime and the Demon Night Shadow are missing, the Protector Archmage and the Babu Prince are still entrenched in the southern temple, and although there is no movement on the Demon Island, I am afraid that they are secretly plotting some plan." ”

Hei Ningxue couldn't help but let out a lament, "If the Demon Lord doesn't die for a day, we won't have a day of peace." ”

Lydia nodded, "Among those war criminal generals, many of them have fought against demons and have rich experience in actual combat. Demons are our worst enemies, and the enemies of our enemies can become our friends. ”

Without laughing, he interjected, "The enemy of the enemy may still be the enemy." ”

"It's like the people of Korson, there are stubborn people, and there are new friends." Lydia remembered Mira, "Now that we have time, we can try to educate these war criminals and reform their minds. Only one person can change his mind, and it means more than a corpse. ”

"Interesting idea." Bu smiled and groaned for a moment, "It's worth trying." ”

With the approval of not laughing, Lydia was confident that she was ready to make a big splash. She summoned Nick, who was more familiar with the Sand Empire, to discuss the reform of war criminals.

You must know that the military and political system of the Wild Sand Empire has collapsed for many years, and in the early years, those powerful ministers went to jail for the sake of the party and dissent. There are too many people locked up, and there are not enough prisons, so we can only build new cells. In the end, more than a dozen prisons were built in the abandoned capital, which is also a great spectacle.

After the Red Pavilion captured the abandoned capital, only two were retained to maintain law and order, and some of the ones that could be rebuilt were converted into municipal office buildings or hospitals, and the rest were basically demolished.

After rectifying the traitors, a large number of corrupt criminals were imprisoned in a prison in the north, so if Lydia wanted to "educate war criminals", she had to move them all to the "Wild Dog Prison" in the south.

In this regard, General Nick objected: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm afraid that position is a bit unpleasant. ”

Lydia blinked, "Is there anything wrong with this prison?" Is it haunted at night? ”

Nick frowned, "It's pretty much the same, that prison used to hold all political prisoners, and it was also a famous death penalty prison. Later, those who did not want to join the traitors were killed, and the prison was abandoned. ”

"Oops...... Lydia stomped her foot in remorse, "I should have asked them to send those courtiers here." ”

Nine times out of ten, things don't go your way, and Lydia just complains. Then he had a whim, "The place can't be changed, or what else should we change the name, such as 'Black Cat Prison'?" ”

"Forget it." Nick vetoed the proposal, which was neither a symptom nor a cure, "even if it was named 'Super Luxurious and Invincible Comfort Prison', it wouldn't change the dilapidated reality of it." ”

Lydia smiled, "I didn't expect General Nick to be familiar with this prison. ”

"I'm familiar with every corner of the wasteland." Nick shrugged, "I've been to a place where birds don't a few times, and it's surrounded by mass graves, and it's just a huge courtyard and a bunch of broken houses. ”

Lydia couldn't help but ask, "Broken house?" Looking at your expression, I'm a little curious about how broken it is? ”

Nick frowned, "Let's just say that, those houses leak rain on rainy days, leak wind on windy days, and can bask in the sun inside when it's fine." ”

Lydia couldn't help but feel a little headache, "Looks like we're going to have to find someone to fix it up quickly." ”

Nick nodded, "I also have to think about it, who is more suitable to manage this prison?" ”

Lydia looked at Nick with a strange smile on her face, "Isn't that just the perfect person out there?" ”

Nick felt like he had been tricked.
