The ancient martial arts master traveled through time
Chapter 159: Dealing with Prisoners [1]
The issue of Qionghai was easily resolved. Ruan Xiaojiu divided the 300,000 captured troops into ten groups, each with 30,000 people. They were sent to deserted islands in the nearby sea to open up wasteland, grow grain for Daqin, and collect some seafood to fill the national treasury.
The Qin treasury is empty and in urgent need of expansion. These 300,000 troops are free labor. They can fight on the battlefield and grow crops in the fields. Zidan has really done a good thing this time!
Ruan Xiaojiu thought to himself, and a beautiful curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.
.........
It took the city lord ten days to finish the work. During this time, Ruan Xiaojiu personally explored the islands in the sea, and he always came back looking exhausted.
Di Jingchen found out, but apart from expressing his concern, he didn't ask anything else.
It will take him about half a month to completely eliminate the poison, and then he will leave.
Ruan Xiaojiu goes out early and comes back late every day. After layers of screening, he has identified ten islands with soil suitable for land reclamation and farming. There are many birds and beasts there, so self-sufficiency is not a problem and there is no danger.
It has been long enough since she came out, and the matter has come to an end. She said that she would give Ruan Jun'an a stable throne, and she would definitely do it.
That day she asked someone to call the city lord, and the next things should be arranged.
The city lord has been very busy these days. When he knew that Ruan Xiaojiu had summoned him, he happened to have something to discuss with her, so he walked to Ruan Xiaojiu's yard.
There is no doubt about Ruan Xiaojiu's ability, and now the city lord is completely convinced.
He came to Ruan Xiaojiu and bowed, "Your Highness." His attitude was many times more respectful than before.
"How is the personnel arrangement going?" Ruan Xiaojiu asked.
"Your Highness, we have temporarily built straw huts and are using the collected tents, but there are too many people and Qionghai City is small, so it is not easy to accommodate them. I wonder how Your Highness will arrange for these people?"
Ruan Xiaojiu took a sip of tea before speaking, "Send these people to the nearby islands and let them make a contribution to our Qin State."
"Select thirty of the strongest warriors and have them serve as managers on each island. One chief general, two deputy generals, and three chief managers on each island.
The city lord frowned and said, "Your Highness, are you talking about the sea area fifty miles away?"
Ruan Xiaojiu nodded, wondering why the city lord had such an expression when he mentioned that sea area.
The city lord smiled bitterly. "Although I am the lord of Qionghai City, and that sea area was originally Qionghai territory, it was occupied by a group of bullies two years ago. Those people are extremely vicious and have killed countless people. Until now, no one has dared to provoke them. Except for their own people, no one is allowed to salvage any products from there."
Ruan Xiaojiu recalled that when she went to that sea area, there were indeed people guarding the port. She didn't care at the time, and no one stopped her, so she didn't take it seriously.
She looked at the city lord and asked, "Why didn't you report this incident in Qionghai?"
"I reported it two years ago, but the court didn't send anyone to investigate. Later, when those people learned that I had reported it and the court hadn't intervened, they brought people to Qionghai City and beat me up. They also threatened to kill my entire family if it happened again. Since then, I haven't had the heart to care about anything else."
"Is there such a thing? Do you know who they are?"
"I don't know about this, but I heard they are not from my country of Qin."
Ruan Xiaojiu seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he said, "Tomorrow, you will go with me to meet those people. Don't worry, I will deal with them cleanly. You just need to follow my orders."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"However, those people are extremely vicious and are no match for ordinary soldiers. We should take some people with us to give us more courage."
"No need, go down and prepare, and leave early tomorrow morning."
The city lord was still a little worried. Although the Ninth Prince was very capable, she was just a little girl after all. There were at least 800 people guarding the place.
He was really worried, not about Ruan Xiaojiu, but about his own life. He wanted to live a few more years.
After all, those people know him. If Ruan Xiaojiu falls behind, will he be hacked to death by those people?
No, he had better secretly ask someone to protect him, otherwise he would always feel insecure.
Ruan Xiaojiu did not go out today. After chatting with the city lord, he went to take a look at Ye Tingyi. Ye Tingyi could not move his body, and there was someone to take care of his food, drink, defecation and urination every day. He was completely collapsed and ashamed.
He asked Ruan Xiaojiu many times if he could let him go when he was eating or going to the bathroom, and he promised not to run away. He wanted to do those things himself, but Ruan Xiaojiu only replied with two words, "No." Ye Tingyi was tortured by these two words.
Now seeing Ruan Xiaojiu, he had given up resisting and begging. He could only give Ruan Xiaojiu a killing look and could do nothing else.
After meeting Ye Tingyi, I came to Di Jingchen's yard and saw him standing under a tree in a daze. I asked, "What are you thinking about?"
When Di Jingchen heard Ruan Xiaojiu's voice, he turned around and calmly sat on the stone bench in the yard, and replied, "I'm not thinking about anything. Aren't you busy today?"
"I've finished everything I need to do. I still have some chores to do tomorrow, so it's almost time to go home after I'm done with them."
"If you're bored, come with me to the sea tomorrow. There's something wrong there, but it's not a big deal. You haven't been out these days, so don't worry about yourself getting bored."
"Sea area?"
"Well, the city lord said that a group of local tyrants came there two years ago. Tomorrow the king will go to meet them."
In recent years, Di Jingchen has traveled to almost every country in search of a detoxification method. Of course, he has also been to that sea area. There are many kinds of seafood there, but he doesn't know the details. When Ruan Xiaojiu asked him to accompany her, he didn't refuse.
Agree, "Okay."
