Seeing the change in Xiong Wuliang's face, everyone, including King Chu, was frightened.
Even if reason told them that Xiong Wuliang could not openly kill people here...but the man in front of them never followed the routine, so no one dared to irritate the famous Qu Yanghou.
I saw Xiong Wuliang wave his hand: "Bring him up!"
The King of Chu and the old nobles scrambled in panic, watching the 'front warriors' who were originally guarding the door being escorted in by new soldiers.
In fact, the guards in most places in this palace have been taken over by Quyang's new army.
Only a few of them still use these "front warriors" to decorate their appearance.
For example, the entrance to the main hall in front of you is guarded by the warriors in front of the hall.
Xiong Wuliang said without any doubt: "The king is resting, but you let the ministers rush into the palace!"
"Fortunately, the people who came this time are all the heroes of my Dachu... If Xiaoxiao came with malicious intentions, wouldn't the king have already lost his head by now?"
"You can't even do a small job like guarding the door, and you actually disturbed the king! What's the point of keeping you here?"
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "All the warriors involved in the incident will be exempted from becoming common people and will leave Yingdu within ten days! Otherwise, they will be executed without mercy!"
As soon as these words came out, all the warriors in front of the palace turned pale.
This kind of front warriors are different from the powerful palace guards in the past - they are called guards in nice words, but in fact they basically serve as a guard of honor, or to help the nobles in the palace pass a message.
Such a leisurely job that allows you to show your face in front of superiors... Those who serve as front warriors are basically children of noble ministers!
Of course it is impossible for a legitimate son to be a bastard... He is usually a bastard from a major family.
For example, if Xiong Wuliang has a younger brother who is a concubine, Xiong Wei will most likely send the concubine to the palace to serve as a "front warrior", so that he can have a sense of presence in front of the King of Chu. , after being sent to the army, he will at least become a captain of thousands. For these common people, it is also a good way out.
On the other hand, this is also a way for noble ministers from all walks of life to express their loyalty to the King of Chu!
At the same time, these warriors in front of the palace can also be regarded as the 'eyes' arranged by the noble ministers around the King of Chu. Through these clan members, they can learn more or less about some things in the inner palace... Of course, Mi Xin cannot understand, at most. Find out whether King Chu is in a good or bad mood today...
Moreover, in history, during the reign of a certain King of Chu, his powerful ministers were overbearing and domineering, and his spies were even spread throughout the inner palace... At that time, the King of Chu needed the help of his ministers to coordinate internally and externally to kill the powerful minister. It was the message delivered through these warriors in front of the palace.
In short, the warriors in front of the palace are the tacit communication bridge between the noble ministers and the King of Chu. They are a win-win situation for the noble ministers and the King of Chu!
The elimination of these warriors in front of the palace undoubtedly cut off the last possible connection between the King of Chu and the noble ministers.
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand: "That's it!"
"From now on, the palace's garrison will be taken over by my new army from Quyang!"
Shaohu took a step forward and said angrily: "The end is here!"
Xiong Wuliang said in an evil voice: "From now on, we must guard the palace and never let the king be disturbed again... Today's incident must be used as a lesson. If it happens again, the guards will be executed together!"
Shaohu chuckled: "The general will understand, so you can rest assured."
Of course, Xiong Wuliang was not willing to "kill all his soldiers".
These words were all said to the King of Chu and all the ministers present.
Sure enough - King Chu, Zhaoju, Jing Chong and others all turned pale.
Dare to be angry but dare not speak!
…
The days for winter hunting are set very casually.
At the court meeting a few days later, Xiong Wuliang announced with a smile, "The king is recovering from his illness, it is really the blessing of his ancestors" and so on.
Then, the matter of 'Yunmengze Winter Hunting' was decided.
Xiong Wuliang solemnly invited the ministers to participate, and of course no ministers dared not disobey.
The specific date is set in one month!
During this period, Xiong Wuliang was of course not idle. He began to intensively deploy the work of rescuing refugees. At the same time, he undertook the reconstruction work of Yingdu and engaged in real estate construction in Yingdu with great fanfare.
Made another huge sum of money.
Now that there is sufficient money and food, it is no longer difficult to resettle the refugees in the Huainan Plain before winter - students from the academy are assigned to various places, supporting the important task of grassroots governance in the Huainan Plain.
Undoubtedly, this most fertile, rich and densely populated granary in Chu State will be completely controlled by the Quyanghou faction from top to bottom!
According to Xiong Wuliang's instructions, in the construction of private houses, the construction team built the same square and square shops, thus saving a lot of money.
Xiong Wuliang said this: 'Since it is a disaster relief housing, of course it cannot be built like a palace, it can be lived in...'
The common people in the Huainan Plain are also burdened with heavy housing loans...
Although this act was unscrupulous - but if Marquis Quyang hadn't come to the rescue, these civilians would have died of cold and exhaustion in the long winter... Therefore, Xiong Wuliang is still grateful to thousands of refugees.
Moreover, the money saved was not pocketed by Xiong Wuliang.
The money and grain saved from the construction of private houses was used to build canals and roads on the Huainan Plain... It is conceivable that within a few years, this large granary will quickly return to its pre-war prosperity, and even Far better than before!
Time flies... Almost a month passed, and Qu Yuan and others basically completed the refugee resettlement work with super speed.
Even Xiong Wuliang was amazed by the speed: "How can it be so fast?"
Qu Yuan, Shen Dao and others were full of praise for the professional quality of the Quyang construction engineering team and the students of the academy: "Without the help of the students of Quyang Academy, it would have been impossible to accomplish this matter so quickly."
"Huang Xie, the head of the academy, is truly a great talent!"
"This person must be kept in the Lord's service for a long time!"
Xiong Wuliang nodded approvingly.
I originally thought that all these troublesome things would never be finished before winter... Xiong Wuliang had even made a plan to start the Lingnan Development Mission in advance for those refugees who had not yet had time to take care of themselves. 'plan of……
Unexpectedly, the progress on the Huainan Plain went smoothly, which saved me a lot of worry.
There is no need to rush into implementing the so-called Lingnan Pioneer Corps plan - we can wait until the spring of next year and then talk about it slowly.
The exhausted Qu Yuan smiled and said: "This coming winter will be quiet - except for a planned 'winter hunt', I can finally take some time to rest..."
Zhao Hua and Shen Dao also nodded.
During this period of time, these guys have been exhausted!
The unscrupulous boss looked calm, smiled and nodded, as if he didn't seem to notice the tiredness in the words of the people in front of him...
After Zhao Hua let out a long breath, he changed the subject: "As for next spring, we have three plans! It takes a lot of planning!"
"..."
