The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

After this battle, although the entire Xiangcheng was not seriously injured, it was also frightened.

The ordinary people who had been sent away before all came back. After they came back, the whole city was filled with crying, because they almost said goodbye to everyone in the city forever, and their good days almost came to naught. I feel that there is no other way to express myself except crying.

Ru Nian was also relieved to see that the prince had returned, and then he took the elite soldiers and others to clean up the battlefield.

After Xia Junshu's mother and daughter came, he obeyed Xie Linlang's order and did not pretend to be Qin Jue anymore, so everyone in the city thought that Qin Jue had just left temporarily, and then rushed back soon.

As for the rebel captives, it is a problem. There are so many of them, and there are not so many houses in Xiangcheng to accommodate them.

After thinking for a while, Qin Jue separated them and scattered them around Xiangcheng, guarded by elite soldiers in turn, and asked them to repair the city wall.

Except for the city wall of the North City Gate, the other city walls of Xiangcheng have been in disrepair for a long time and need to be rebuilt.

Moreover, the North City Gate, which had just been repaired, became even more dilapidated after this siege and needed to be rebuilt.

Since the four walls are no longer good, then simply tear them down and rebuild them!

In this way, we can take the opportunity to expand the area of ​​the city and add more facilities. Anyway, with Xie Linlang around, there will only be more and more people in Xiangcheng. One day, this small city will become a prosperous and prosperous city!

In terms of the current national strength of the Qin State, a city with more than 500,000 residents is considered a big city, a city with 200,000 to 500,000 people is a medium city, and Xiangcheng, which originally only had 70,000 people, can only be regarded as a small city. .

Right now, as long as the 30,000 rebels can be successfully absorbed, Xiangcheng's manpower will rise to a new level. After all, these 30,000 people are all strong men...

Huang Lao also thought it was a good decision to send these people to repair the city wall, just as he also felt that Xiangcheng was a bit small and needed to be expanded.

But isn't His Highness's attitude towards these "wall slaves" a bit harsh?

He only gave them two meals, but asked them to work non-stop for six hours a day. If they were lazy, they would be punished. This method was probably inconsistent with Xie Linlang's tolerant philosophy of governing the city.

The most important thing is that if they do this, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep people. After these people tear down the city wall, they may flee in groups.

Faced with Huang Lao's doubts, Qin Jue stood on the city wall, looked at the "slaves" who were smashing the wall, and replied with a light smile.

"In this position before, Lin Lang once said something to me."

"She said...the most powerful thing in this world is hope. Hope can inspire people and revive their numb souls, so that they can seize all possibilities and fight for new life.

In other words, as long as you step them into a desperate situation first, and then give them hope, they will be obedient and do what I say. "This can be regarded as a punishment for their previous siege.

Huang Lao vaguely felt that Qin Jue's interpretation was a bit wrong, he said dryly, "But you didn't give them hope..."

Qin Jue smiled softly, shook his head and said, "I have already given it. Mr. has been in a high position for a long time. I am afraid that I have never seen how ordinary people live. On the way from the capital to Xiangcheng, Xie Linlang took me through many places. , in many seemingly wealthy cities, those ordinary people are busy all year round, and they just have enough to eat.

And here they are, they don't have to think about anything other than work, and they can get enough food. How much more difficult is it to build a city wall than to go to the ground? If there is a disaster year, they will still have famine, but I don’t need it here. I can provide food security that God can’t provide. This is already a good thing for them. "

Thinking about it, Mr. Huang felt a little ashamed. He used to be a bit of a scholar, and he was able to put down his dignity and get along with ordinary people, which was an experience he had only in Xiangcheng.

But he said, "It's just enough to eat, isn't it a hope? After all, for some ambitious people, being a slave who can eat well is not what they want."

"nature."

Qin Jue nodded, "So this is just one of them. The reason why I sent them to build walls inside the city instead of digging outside the city is to let them see the lives of ordinary people in Xiangcheng up close."

He looked down at the city in front of him. Although the city in front of him was not beautiful, who would dare to say that the people in this city were not happy?

"There are no exorbitant taxes, no nobles with privileges, no domineering county magistrates, and even few quarrels. Mr. Huang, you may not have noticed that since Xie Linlang took over here, and brought the whole city into the high After the construction of high-intensity production, Xiangcheng has not had any major lawsuits for almost a year."

There were some trivial lawsuits, but they were settled by the people below before they even reached Xie Linlang.

Everyone is working hard to make money, and those bumps and bumps still exist, but most people don't care about it anymore.

In Xie Linlang's words, is it not fun to make money or is work not tiring enough? She almost squeezed out Xiangcheng's manpower, how can they have the energy to make trouble after they leave work?

It sounds like a lot of hard work, but who doesn't enjoy it?

Such a city is simply a dream place for ordinary people! It is also the place he has seen the closest to Datong in the book.

Those rebels built the city in the city, and they would know how good the city is by just taking a look at it.

Qin Jue narrowed his eyes and said with a light smile, "For such a city, the temptation is fatal for the common people who have to leave their homes and revolt due to floods. How can they become the residents of Xiangcheng? They will definitely become them." wishes.

At that time, as long as I properly express my desire to absorb them and give them a little hope, they will work hard and strive to stay.

As for those who want to escape after seeing it, they can be directly arrested and made slaves in the Red River Valley. It just so happens that I want to build a water barrier in the Red River Valley, and I need a lot of manpower. "

Anyway, it's impossible to let them escape like this. Xiangcheng's secret is not yet revealed, if they don't want to be obedient, they should be forced to be obedient.

Lin Lang said before that getting used to it comes naturally, as long as they are forced to be obedient, they will get used to it after a long time.

When Huang Lao heard this, he immediately understood Qin Jue's intentions. He treated the slaves a little bit worse. Those slaves would be more envious when they saw the affluent life of the people in Xiangcheng. The stronger the sense of disparity, the harder they would work.

And their existence is also a warning to the people of Xiangcheng, lest they have a good life for too long and develop other psychology.

All in all, Your Highness is really well-intentioned!
