It took three months to get there. When they finally arrived, everything was in ruins. It was called a county town, but it was more like a small village. Fortunately, the local people were arriving one after another. Jiang Ze was at a loss as to where to start, but in the end, Jiang Yue stepped in.
First, we recruited people and then allocated land to the people. Only after the people were settled could we start working. We didn't rush to build a city because we had heard before we left that the female lead had already started researching cement, so we would just start using cement.
Before long, cement appeared, and Jiang Yue began to build the city. As for manpower, that was not a problem, since there were many prisoners.
The army was worried about what to do with these prisoners, and they had to feed them every day. Fortunately, Jiang Ze solved a problem for them by bringing them to build a city. Jiang Yue found a blueprint in her space, and Jiang Ze started construction according to the blueprint.
Once the city was built, these people were sent to cultivate the wasteland, as there was a continuous influx of people migrating there. It wasn't until winter that the court figured out how to deal with the prisoners. When the officers in charge of guarding the prisoners saw them, they were speechless. They were all emaciated and pale, and most of them had died.
What else? Why keep them plump and healthy? Building a city requires stones, and where do those stones come from? They're all chipped away at by the stone. Besides, food is precious; the people are all waiting to be fed. We can't give them everything, so if they eat little and work a lot, won't more people die?
As for whether Jiang Yue is ruthless or not, it can only be said that they have different positions. Moreover, the more Jiang Yue looks at these prisoners, the more they seem to be people who are living a good life now. How can Jiang Yue treat them as human beings? That's really overthinking it. She is simply using them to death. The people in the city feel sorry for them. So when Jiang Yue finished building the city and dug a moat, the other counties were less than halfway done.
Jiang Yue was fearless, knowing that the emperor must have sentries watching her. At first, she didn't go too far, but later she found that no one was paying attention, so she just let herself go. Just as Jiang Yue thought, the emperor and several important officials knew that she was in charge of building the city, but they didn't care and only said one thing: "This girl is really ruthless."
After all, the emperor didn't treat these prisoners as his own subjects. Although he felt he had done a good job and solved a major problem, he certainly couldn't say it out loud. After all, an emperor couldn't be so cruel. So the matter of dealing with the prisoners had been discussed for nearly a year. Everyone had a tacit understanding: the more people died, the better. Once most of the able-bodied men were dead, the women and children wouldn't have the ability to rebel. Then, some people could be pardoned and some people could be shown favor. Wouldn't they all submit?
After the city was built, Jiang Yue helped govern it for several years. Once everything was on track, Jiang Yue's mission was complete. For the first time, Jiang Yue initiated the early departure procedure. This world was so boring, and women were subject to too many restrictions, making it inconvenient to do anything. So after her father and Chen passed away, Jiang Yue directly called 8888. Although she was a little reluctant to leave her two children, she still made up her mind to leave. A month later, Jiang Yue passed away.
