Heroes of Silver Moon

In the lord's study, Simon supported the desk with his elbows, rested his forehead with his hands, and gently pressed his temples with his thumbs to relieve his fatigue and anxiety.

Harris and Deborah, standing not far in front of the desk, also had heavy and irritable faces.

After a long time, Simon spoke slowly, raised his head and asked, "How many people died?"

Harris turned his head away, as if unwilling to face the question.

Deborah's eyelids twitched, and she replied, "Eight hundred and sixteen people."

Simon nodded slowly, and asked, "Have the gathered people been driven away?"

Deborah nodded: "Well, whether it was the people who attacked the grain drying field or the people who watched, they were all dispersed and went home."

The topic was a bit heavy, Simon took a deep breath, put his thoughts back on his work, and ordered: "Get ready, and distribute next month's food tomorrow on the basis of each family's head."

Deborah nodded and said nothing more.

Adding sweet dates to a big stick is a very typical and practical method. The prestige has already been established, and it is time to appease the people.

Simon looked at Harris again, and said, "Some time ago, I asked you to collect the list of violators of the new army. How did you collect it?"

Harris frowned slightly, reluctantly took out a stack of papers, and placed them in front of him.

Simon looked through it carefully, his face getting colder and colder.

"It's all small problems, shouldn't it be worth your trouble?" Harris said with sarcasm in his heart.

Simon glanced at Harris, and then the stack of papers in his hand hit him directly in the face.

"You!" After a brief blank mind, Harris's face suddenly showed sullenness.

"Why, feel humiliated, so angry?" Simon's face was cold, so cold that Harris was terrified and panicked.

"Opening a small stove, sleeping in a separate barracks, not participating in training, including taking women to the barracks overnight, these are indeed small problems, but..."

Simon slammed on the desk, took out another stack of papers, and shouted at Harris: "Look what this is!"

Harris suppressed his doubts, walked steadily in front of Simon, took the paper and read it carefully, then his expression changed drastically, and he grabbed his hair in disbelief, saying: "This, this is impossible!"

Simon sneered and said, "Why is that impossible? Allow your subordinates to be greedy for Mexican military salaries and resell new army weapons. Harris, are you not aware of these problems at all, or are you deliberately covering them up?"

"I, I..." Harris was incoherent, unable to speak at all, sweating profusely.

He didn't notice these problems in the new army at all.

"Oh, it seems that you really didn't notice it at all."

Simon gritted his teeth in hatred and yelled at Deborah: "Notify everyone that the military and political meeting will be held temporarily, and everyone must be present."

"I want them to see that it's not just ordinary people who break the law, they are also punished!"

The killing intent leaking from Simon shocked Harris and Deborah. They looked at each other and saw each other's horror.

After this public riot, Simon is probably more angry than ever. At this critical juncture, the new army exposed these problems again, and the outcome of those involved can be imagined.

Deborah hurriedly persuaded: "Simon, calm down, we'd better investigate this kind of thing."

Simon glanced at him coldly, and said coldly: "This is the result of the investigation by the Intelligence Department. Not only these military officers, but also political officials have many problems."

Deborah showed a look of embarrassment, supported her forehead with a headache, and said, "My God, not only the military officers, but also the political officers. Do you want to stop the entire territory?"

Simon closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the eyes were full of light. Deborah and Harris looked down spontaneously, not daring to look at him.

"Laws and military regulations are essentially contracts between superiors and inferiors. If the people who violate the contract are punished but the officials who violate the contract are not punished, how can the people not complain and trust the ruler? ?”

Simon said word by word: "There is a riot in the territory now, which is a manifestation of the people's distrust of us. Giving small favors can only temporarily stabilize them, but it cannot convince them of the new law.

As in the past, when the territory encounters difficulties again in the future, this kind of tragedy will still happen.

They must be made to feel the majesty of the new law and the credibility of the new law, so as to avoid such tragedies from happening again. "

The implication is obvious, kill chickens to scare monkeys!

Nothing can reflect the majesty of the new law better than punishing officials.

Deborah still felt that something was wrong, and objected: "This riot is obviously instigated by other lords behind the scenes. It's not just that the people don't trust us."

Simon closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Do you think I don't know?"

Without anyone else agitating behind them, how could these scattered people launch such a large-scale riot in silence.

It must be other lords, the dark sons planted in the territory, taking advantage of this opportunity to provoke secretly.

This kind of thing, Simon is as clear as a mirror in his heart, but in his opinion, if the people agree with the new law, if the people trust them~www.wuxiaspot.com~, then how can they be provoked by those people successfully.

In the final analysis, the new law has not really taken root in the hearts of the people, so the people will not believe that the lords will centralize the distribution of food according to the head.

"The lesson of this time must be kept firmly in mind, and let those people who don't trust us see that anyone who violates the law, even officials, will be severely punished. Go to the military and political meeting!" Simon said coldly road.

Deborah and Harris trembled in their hearts, and could only faithfully fulfill the lord's order.

 …

In just three days, the military and political meeting was held as scheduled, and all officials who were qualified to participate were present.

Simon sat at the head of the long table, staring at the officials of the territory with an unfriendly expression.

Sitting in the last seat on the right, Siegel was covered in cold sweat, taking deep breaths, waiting for the next trial.

The news among the officials is relatively well-informed, and everyone glances at Siegel, some gloating about his misfortune, and some hating iron for nothing.

They all thought that this military and political meeting was held solely for Siegel, who had corrupted military discipline.

"This temporary military and political meeting is mainly to solve some problems of some officials." Simon rubbed his head, and what he said did not surprise everyone.

Isn't it? What a serious problem it is to break the discipline of the new army. Everyone is waiting for the result of Siegel's treatment.

Unexpectedly, Simon looked at the other person, and said leisurely: "Bulder, you seem to be sitting very firmly!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, isn't this the military-political meeting to deal with Siegel? How did it involve Boulder, the deputy chief of the new army?

Boulder's mind went blank, completely unaware of what he did wrong, and stood up mechanically.
