Chapter 2725 The Enemy Takes Us Hostage

"No killing for surrender, no killing for surrender, lay down your weapons..." 'Pah!' 'Tutututu...'

"It's over, the fourth reinforcements have been captured."

As the last person from the city-state was captured, Guo Ziyi returned to the place where he had eaten listlessly.

Two days, four groups of people, they paid the price of dozens of lives and were arranged to work on the beach.

The people who were captured before, seeing the later ones, did not feel sympathy, but gloated over their misfortune.

The large group of slaves among the first group of people who were captured liked their new masters.

It is guaranteed not to be Stockholm syndrome. They went from two meals a day, or even one meal, to three meals a day.

The key is to eat as much as you can, and the food is delicious.

When it is hot, a shed is set up to provide shade when working on the beach. There is water boiled with grass in a large pot next to it, which is sour and sweet.

If you accidentally scratch your finger while cleaning fish, you will change your job and the nurse will help you bandage it.

Although you have been a slave, there is a contrast in life.

Some of the civilians also felt good, while others were always sad because their families did not come.

Finally, a former civilian among the captives mustered up the courage to find the priestess and said, "Don't hit me first, I want to see your leader."

"What for?" The supervisor did not raise his hand, he just wanted to hit the nobles and priests.

"Can you go over and capture my family and work together?" The civilian asked.

"Wait!" The supervisor motioned another companion to come and watch, and he went to find someone.

"I'm going back to work!" The civilian turned and ran away, fearing being beaten.

The supervisor found the priestess and explained the situation. The priestess found Princess Yongmu, and Li Yi was busy teaching the people in Datang.

"Why are there still people making such requests? Um! Southwestern barbarians."

Princess Yongmu thought about it, it was indeed not surprising. The captured Southwestern barbarians asked Datang to help bring their families over.

Datang went to buy them, adults and children together, and then went through the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal, sailed on the Yellow River in summer, and relied on land in winter to send people to Lijiazhuangzi in Bashui.

The people who were bought were free, and the captives had wives and children. They worked hard and seriously to accumulate points.

Later, when they had accumulated enough points, it was boring. It seemed that there was no difference between being free and not being free.

Now it was the turn of the civilians in Maya. It was probably because they had a better life.

The priestess didn't know what Princess Yongmu was thinking. She smiled and said, "Working in our place is harder than this. We have to build the pyramids."

"It's impossible not to build? They are not slaves." Xiaolan asked.

"Do the civilians in your place not listen to you?" the priestess asked back.

"They dare? When they need to be mobilized, they must work, but we pay them." Xiaolan shook her head.

"We give food. The civilians hand in part of the food, and we keep it. Slaves don't have their own things. What about you?"

The priestess introduced her own situation and was curious about Datang. She hadn't asked before.

"We did it a few years ago. Two years ago, two places didn't pay. Now we don't pay at all. It's all thanks to my Li Lang.

No rent, no taxes, the court has money, buy and hire.

The root cause is the improvement of productivity, not just the amount of money. Only when the survival materials are guaranteed and the daily necessities are abundant can people buy.

Otherwise, it will become a mirage, a castle in the air. Li Lang is doing it at the key nodes, one step at a time."

Princess Yongmu said, proud again, we live better than you! What about my Li Lang's ability!

The priestess showed an envious expression: "Go catch?"

"Catch? We call it counterattack after being attacked. When we were invaded by the enemy, we found that many people were held hostage and deceived.

The real bad guys are those nobles and priests above, who deceived the kind people.

We must eliminate evil and rescue more good people. This is our responsibility and our mission."

Princess Yongmu would not admit that she had caught people in the past. She learned a lot of skills from Li Yi.

Xiaolan echoed: "The only worry now is that the evil nobles use their civilians as bargaining chips and ask us to let them live, otherwise they will kill their own people."

"Ah?" The priestess opened her mouth slightly, feeling something was wrong.

"Incredible, right? Li Lang said that there are such people. For example, they tie up their women, children, and parents and ask the government to give them money, otherwise they will be killed."

Princess Yongmu said with certainty that Li Lang said that, including national wars, their own soldiers captured their own people to scare the enemy.

"Then what will you do?" The priestess helped to worry.

She saw that the people of the Tang Dynasty took good care of civilians and slaves, and treated them when they were sick and injured.

When the sun was hot, they would build a shed and boil water to drink. They would take a bath, wash their hair, cut their nails, and cover themselves with blankets at night and light mosquito coils.

Otherwise, why would civilians want to bring their women and children here, so that they would not have to worry about food and drink, and could sleep well, and it would be easier to catch fish than to build pyramids.

When civilians and slaves were building pyramids, it was hot, and someone would suddenly fall down and never get up again.

It doesn't exist here. The people of the Tang Dynasty are powerful. They kill people at will. I killed one with the pistol I lent myself.

The people of the Tang Dynasty are also very kind. The fish they processed eventually became everyone's food. They ate three meals a day. Some people are still not used to it! They ate too much.

"Easy to deal with! Kill! Xuan Shaozi was ten years old. He was walking alone at the gate. Three soldiers held sticks and robbed him... urged the soldiers to advance. So they attacked him, and Xuanzi also died. Therefore, all those who are robbed and held hostages should be killed. They are not allowed to redeem treasures to open up the road of evil."

Li Guizang came from the side. He gave fruits to the two master wives. After hearing this, he quoted scriptures and said, "Kill!"

Priestess: "..."

She is indeed smart. She learned Tang dialect in three days and can communicate normally.

But she can't learn this, classical Chinese.

Xiaolan was beside me, translating, it was quite a simple thing.

This time the priestess understood, and at the same time she was even more puzzled: "Did the Tang Dynasty speak in another way?"

"There are also poems and poems in the Tang Dynasty! It's so beautiful to read."

The little girl Zhuo Zhuo followed, carrying dried fruits.

"Where's Qingdai?" Princess Yongmu looked and saw that there was only one person missing.

"A nobleman committed suicide. He deliberately swallowed fish bones while cleaning the fish. He didn't die for half an hour. He screamed in pain and called for help. My senior sister went over to pull out the fish bones. They were all pierced in the esophagus. It will probably take a while."

Zhuo Zhuo shook his head and put down the tray.

"I'm still not determined enough, just hold on! Grab some more sand and stuff it into your mouth. When the time comes, I'll disembowel him and save him. It's just a good time for you to practice your skills."

Xiaolan despises it. If you have the ability, don’t shout. If you swallow sand again, you might really die.

Otherwise, if you look at the little babies in the team, the adults are watching when they are eating fish, just eat it, spit out the thorns yourself, and if they are pricked, go to Li Yi as soon as possible.

It's too difficult to eat fish bones and eat dead people in front of Li Lang.

"After he is cured, he must be whipped and beaten to death. See if he dares to commit suicide?"

Li Guizang thought of a way to beat anyone who wanted to commit suicide. He studied psychology with his master. People who commit suicide are impulsive.

Master once said that some women want to commit suicide, and then a group of men find out and do whatever they want, and the woman doesn't want to die anymore.

There are also men who want to commit suicide. When a group of men find out, they will do whatever they want... It's such a mess!
