Meng Yuqing was not specialized in law, so he could not provide any good personal advice, so he asked Xuan to read some books.
He not only changed books from his own country, but also from other countries.
Xuan was originally full of energy, but after watching it for two days, he was also overwhelmed.
Finally, he slammed the book on the table and said, "These prisoners are going to be sent to labor camps anyway. Let them do it first, and then we can take our time!"
Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan dimly and said, "We two don't have time to take it slow. The only ones who can take it slow are the tribe leader and the old tribe leader who are guarding the tribe."
Xuan nodded pretentiously and said, "I feel relieved to leave it to the father beast and the old patriarch."
…
Xuan, don’t you feel guilty for betraying the clan leader and the old clan leader?
So, the two of them ran to find Xia and asked Xia to call the old patriarch over. Xia just looked at Xuan with a numb face, but the old patriarch happily took over the matter.
He looked at Xia and said, "Didn't you say before that you were planning to expand Qingshan Market and build a road from Qingshan City to Qingshan Market? Let them expand the market and build the road first. All the adult orcs and orc cubs over fourteen years old will be sent to do the hard labor. As for the sub-beasts..."
The old patriarch turned to look at Meng Yuqing and asked, "Although we have always been more tolerant of sub-beasts, I think the sub-beasts brought back from there cannot be handled in the same way as usual. They have lived in the Thorn Tribe for so many years and have been influenced by their customs there, enjoying the benefits gained by the Thorn Tribe at the expense of other tribes."
Hearing the old patriarch's words, Xia also added, "According to Yun Li and the other people we rescued, they are not innocent. Their attitude towards slaves is no different from that of the orcs of the Thorn Tribe. Furthermore, there are some things they don't want to do, but they don't have the ability to do them themselves, so they instigate the orcs to do them."
Xia then revealed a headache again. "But the problem remains. We have no way of telling who did it and who didn't."
In Meng Yuqing's words, the sub-beasts in this world are generally of relatively calm character, and their living environment is much simpler than that of the orcs. They basically live in tribes from childhood to adulthood until they die of old age.
If the overall atmosphere of a tribe is very positive, then under the influence of the tribal atmosphere, the crime rate of sub-beasts is almost zero. In most cases, sub-beasts are the ones who are hurt.
But it does not mean that sub-beasts will not commit crimes. It is just that due to the limitations of their abilities, it is difficult for sub-beasts to do anything very harmful. An adult sub-beast can only harm sub-beasts and orcs under the age of eight without the help of orcs.
The former Qingshan tribe, now the Qingshan City, is a tribe with a very upright moral character, so for Xia, this is also his first time to judge and punish the sub-beasts for their crimes.
No wonder he has a headache.
The old patriarch was more experienced than him. When he was the patriarch and Xia was born, the Qingshan tribe had once punished a sub-beast who had made a mistake.
But the matter he dealt with back then was nothing compared to what he has to deal with now.
Seeing the distress of Xia He, the old patriarch, Meng Yuqing supported his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Let's build a prison first and lock them all up. Then I'll arrange a schedule and strictly require them to follow it."
"I've already arranged for someone to work on the sewing machines. When the time comes, have them operate them directly. They can make clothes, tents, backpacks, shoes, open up new land, and so on... Anyway, we'll arrange everything that a sub-beast can do. But it would be best to divide them into areas. One large area will be responsible for one project, and each large area will be divided into smaller areas, each of which will be responsible for one step."
"Anyway, whether they're sub-beasts or orcs, if they want to eat their fill, they have to complete their assigned labor tasks. If their daily labor tasks are heavier than those of people outside, they'll hardly receive any extra pay. Their daily labor can only guarantee them enough to eat."
But even so, it is much better than those tribes in the north who are living in dire straits. Meng Yuqing leaned back in his chair. Is the treatment of these people fair to the tribes that they have harmed and enslaved?
It's unfair. Seriously speaking, Meng Yuqing emotionally wishes they were all enslaved to death to do justice to the tribes that were destroyed by them and the slaves who died at their hands.
But sitting in his current position, he cannot be emotional. He has to think about the living people and help Qingshan City establish a relatively complete system.
Many things cannot be solved only by killing. He can kill the entire Thorn Tribe and the other three tribes in the north. Can he kill all the tribes that depend on them?
If the killing continues like this, I'm afraid that nearly half of the people in the entire Beast World Continent will be gone.
Moreover, was it really a clean kill?
The world is never black and white.
"As for the others, those who followed you from the northwest, and those tribes, have you thought about how to arrange them?" After temporarily settling the matter of the captives, Meng Yuqing remembered that there was still a large group of people who needed to be settled, and suddenly felt a headache.
Although the flying orcs from Bird Island brought back some people directly after entering the southern territory, most of them were old, weak and sick. If they were asked to follow Ji and Tong slowly, they might really die on the way.
Apart from these people, others who are in slightly better condition are still on the road with Ji and Tong. Most of them are young and middle-aged people. According to Xia, there are quite a lot of people and they must be arranged as soon as possible, otherwise chaos will occur and it will be troublesome.
"I have a rough idea. I talked about it with Ji on the way back, and now I have come up with a rough plan." Xia walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a file bag and handed it to Meng Yuqing and Xuan.
Meng Yuqing took the animal skin and opened it. Xuan leaned beside him and they looked at it together.
Xia's plan was not complicated. Those injured were taken directly to Qingshan City for recuperation, especially the rescued slaves. If they were not properly cared for for a period of time, they would basically be in a state of death at any time.
Of course, Qingshan City did not provide them with medical treatment for free. Once they recovered and were able to work, they had to work for Qingshan City to repay their debt.
For those small tribes that followed from the northwest, Qingshan City also helped arrange accommodation and provided some basic assistance. After they settled down, they also had to work to repay their debts.
