2336 Relief(2/2)
While you are still studying how to occupy more land and feed more people, I have already sent people to find new crops that can trigger rapid population growth!
Do you know what a steam engine is? What a howitzer is?
An idiot who can't even understand how to throw a cannon, yet he keeps thinking about plotting and scheming all day long! He's an expert at internal fighting, but an outsider at external fighting, and he still thinks he's so great!
Nonsence!
If I waste my time and learn from you those stupid calculation methods, that would be called not doing my job properly!
"Where is the word 'like this?' He is like this!"
Secretly catching a glimpse of the smile appearing on Xiao Han's face little by little, Xiaodong's heart that had been hanging in the air finally relaxed!
He quickly laughed and continued to joke, "If you don't believe it, look at the people below the city. Not to mention the people from Ningcheng, even the prisoners will give a thumbs up when your name is mentioned!"
"Humph, nonsense! Do you think they really want to go up and rebel with swords? As long as they can have a full meal, who is willing to put their heads in their belts and do this kind of business where they can't see tomorrow?"
With his worries gone, Xiao Han's mood suddenly became very good. Whatever he looked at, it always seemed so pleasing to the eye!
In fact, it is different from what many people think.
Regarding the captured rebels in Ningcheng, except for a very small number of people who were resentful, most of the remaining people could not hate Xiao Han.
They would rather hate Li Zhen, hate the supervisor with the whip, hate the fat county magistrate who assigned them tasks, but they just don't hate the mastermind behind their defeat and arrest, Xiao Han!
Of course, this is not because Xiao Han has a handsome face that everyone loves, nor is it because he exudes "bastard spirit" all over his body. No matter who sees him, he must lie on the ground and bow his head!
All this is just because they all understood that when the army was defeated, Xiao Han could clearly kill them all! But the young marquis did not do that. Instead, he spared no effort and punished them.
Just let them work to atone for their sins.
As for work?
They are farmers and tenant farmers. What's the point of doing a little work? Not to mention that after finishing the work, there is always a bowl of fragrant rice porridge to eat!
We have food and clothing. Although the living conditions are poor and the work is a little tiring, compared to the farmers who were trapped at home and almost starved to death, this is a life that they can't even imagine!
Because of this, Ningcheng was able to gather so many prisoners, and there was still no major riot. Even the escape of prisoners rarely happened.
"Hey, brother?"
At the temporary shack in Xicheng, the gang leader carefully looked around to make sure there were no guards watching them. Then he cautiously asked the middle-aged man sitting on the ground who looked quite kind-hearted and asked, "They don't lock the door."
With us?"
At first glance, the middle-aged man sitting on the ground looked like an honest and humble person. At this moment, when he heard the leader asking himself, he scratched his head and said with a naive smile, "Locked? Why should it be locked? Why should it be locked?"
