Because they had done something bad, many people didn't dare to come back, but Xia Xiao's stern voice shocked them and they immediately ran back. The people in the front yard had all left, but the yard was still full, with more than 300 people. Xia Xiao sat on the steps in front of the hall, looking casual but with a cold expression, muttering something in his mouth, as if counting the time.
More than a dozen people came back late, and Xia Xiao didn't wait. He stood up and waved his hand, and vines rose into the air and tied them up.
"Twenty lashes each!"
Some people cried out for injustice and begged for mercy, but Xia Xiao ignored them and just said to himself:
"There is no reward for coming back early, and there is a punishment for coming back late."
He looked at the nearly 400 people in front of him and said:
"From today on, you will all go home and do farm work to ensure sufficient crop yields. As for those who did something wrong today, will they have their arms or their third legs broken?"
When Xia Xiao asked this question, more than 20 people turned pale. When the others were celebrating, their arms fell to the ground and blood was spilled without any delay. Xia Xiao did not give them any choice, but it was not out of mercy. He just said in the screams that Dao Dao could not control:
"Go away! Be more obedient from now on."
Within a minute, these people dispersed immediately, not daring to stand in the yard. They were the team that Wang Chengzhu had finally assembled, and each of them was strong and powerful, but in front of Xia Xiao, they were nothing. His face was cold, and he didn't dare to think about it. He just knelt and waited for Xia Xiao's next instruction.
"Let the extra maids and guards go home, live a good life, participate in farm work, and grow back the crops that were lost during the war."
"Thank you, Master!"
"You didn't do anything evil, so you don't need to thank me. Just discipline your subordinates next time. Even if these refugees are humble, they are still human beings. Since we are all human beings, there are some things we cannot do."
“Yes, yes.”
When Wang Chengzhu was hesitant, Xia Xiao and Azhu had already disappeared in front of the hall of the mansion, and the guards beside him immediately came to help Wang Chengzhu, but he sighed and just said:
"Get the papers ready. Ask the landless people to mark out the land this afternoon. I will go there myself!"
Wang Chengzhu's surrender made the guards and maids in the hall shudder. Is this the young master Xia Xiao who returned from the devil's way? His power is really extraordinary. He has already dealt with the stubborn old guy Wang Chengzhu. But if Xia Xiao can't even deal with him, then it's really a waste of time to study in the academy.
At present, Wang Chengzhu, the sky of Luocheng, has no accumulation at all. He even considers farming together. But as the lord of the city, his premise is to be a good parent official of the people and dare not create chaos again. In his eyes, the gate and wall of the city lord's mansion were rebuilt, just like before, and the bloodstains and footprints left by the people were gone.
"Thank you, Master Xia Xiao. Thank you, Master Xia Xiao!"
Wang Chengzhu, who had just stood up, bowed quickly, not daring to neglect. In this way, Luocheng, under Xia Xiao's help, finally settled down. Standing outside the city, he watched hundreds of thousands of people coming out one after another and began to divide their own land. He couldn't help but feel that if this continued, things might get better and it would not be so chaotic anymore. But other cities would not be so smooth, after all, Xia Xiao was not there.
Xia Xiao unfolded a talisman array and listened to the person beside him saying:
"Hurry up and say a few words to them. These guys don't believe us."
Xiaona's tone was full of helplessness, and she was strongly resisted by some people. How could the beastmen come to help humans to restore order? To put it bluntly, isn't it just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to the chicken? The conflict between the beastmen and humans was very strong, but after a few words, Xia Xiao made it clear that Xiaona and the others' position was the academy, and then he talked to other places.
Some people who wanted to be kings naturally started to obey orders only after hearing Xia Xiao's words. Because they each had their own thoughts, they kept interrupting when Xiaona was issuing orders. It was not until she released her vitality and spread it to every corner of the city that the city lord with ulterior motives shut up obediently.
"If anyone keeps talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"
After Wu Tie finished speaking, he took a step forward, putting pressure on everyone, as if he was going to crush them into pulp. As long as there was a danger to their lives, everyone naturally became extremely obedient and began to follow orders one by one.
This improvement is reflected in more and more cities, but many cities are not as bad as Luocheng. In several cities in Daxia, the officials are honest, and together with the hands of the wild beasts, they suppress some stubborn people, so that the people who know the outcome of the war can live a stable life. They used to live a difficult life, and now they have obtained the seeds brought by the wild beasts, which at least solves the urgent need. As long as the current problems can be solved, they will be able to recover.
In the Southern Business Empire, most of the wild beasts that went there were just to deliver news of the war and solve people's doubts. Because there was no negative situation represented by Luocheng, probably because the discipline in Southern Business was too strict, so everything was in order, and with the presence of wild beasts, no one dared to do evil.
Even though this is a martial country, it cannot defeat a powerful wild beast. There is no chance of winning. Tianmeng Country is not much different from it, and the problems are not big. However, the situation in the Goulong Bang clan is not much different from that in Luocheng, or even worse, because many people have died.
The arrival of the wild beast immediately caused a stir, and many warriors in the city shouted that the wild beast should not intervene, but Tianming pinned them to the ground and hammered them repeatedly. Only when his teeth broke and his face cracked, and he kept shouting "I surrender", did Tianming stop, wiped the blood off his fist with a handkerchief, threw it away casually, and looked at the crowd.
"Who else?"
Tianming was furious because he was scolded. They were not idle, and this trip was not in the name of wild beasts, but in the name of the academy! Therefore, everyone must cooperate. Just like Xia Xiao said, so many people died to protect the people of the world. As the survivors, how can they not live well?
Without a leader and a king, many people in the Goulongbang clan wanted to establish a new king, but when they saw Xia Xiao, he responded coldly:
"What makes you a king? Have you ever been on the battlefield? Have you ever protected your family? Have you ever protected your fellow countrymen?"
"Without a leader, there will only be more chaos!"
"I don't care about those things, I only care about human lives! If you start a war for the throne now, the people will suffer. If you really want to unify the Goulongbang clan again, wait until everyone has enough food and survives before making plans. Do you think it is worth sacrificing many more people in exchange for the throne? Unnecessary sacrifices are a disregard for human lives! On the contrary, if you do things that benefit the people, expand your influence, and gain support, do you think they will not support you to ascend the throne of the new king?"
Xia Xiao was not standing in the court, but every word he said was like a law, which made the people of Gou Longbang on the other side of the talisman formation admire him.
"Thank you very much. I have learned a lot from you!"
"Think about it carefully!"
When the talisman array in his hand was put away, Xia Xiao closed his eyes and let out a long breath. He was increasingly confused as to why the Southern Shang Empire wanted to unify the Great Wilderness, because this feeling was very uncomfortable and annoying. So many things, are you really not bothered by it?
Xia Xiao sighed and looked up, only to realize that it was already late.
