Man Chong then walked in holding the bamboo slips. Seeing that Man Chong still had that dead face, Qin Ge's embarrassment disappeared. Man Chong clasped his fists and said, "My lord! Chong is here to report a major hidden danger in my territory! Please make a decision quickly, lord, otherwise I may be in danger of overthrowing the nest!"
Qin Ge was shocked and looked at Man Chong without speaking. Man Chong organized his words and said: "Today! When a cook surnamed Sun was distributing meals to the soldiers, he served an extra large amount of meat to the soldiers of the Sun family, which caused other The soldiers were dissatisfied. Although the matter was finally properly handled under the arrangements of Lei Bao and Sun Kang, it was a bad sign! In addition, when I was measuring the land in preparation for dividing the fields in the past two days, Sun Kang and Lei Bao , Xu Tu and others were either asking about the land distribution plan for their families or asking for the land distribution plan for the soldiers! In hard times, everyone can live and die together in order to survive, but in peacetime, for the sake of petty profits, brothers fight against each other and fight against each other! In those days, the King of Chu dominated the world, The Chu Dynasty fell apart within a few years of its founding, and this was such a disaster!"
Although Qin Ge was shocked, he also felt lucky and admired Man Chong's powerful administrative ability. He could predict the shortcomings of the territory's development from a trivial matter. If it was not solved early, it might cause a big disaster. This is the insight of seeing the leopard in the pipe!
Qin Ge frowned and thought deeply for a while and said: "Indeed! The rapid expansion of the population has caused some indigestion in the Free Village. A monument to martyrs has been set up in the Free Village. This time, more than half of the Green Forest people have been absorbed. Although I have some feelings for them. It has a strong commanding power, but the tendency to form groups within the territory is inevitable! It will be a big drawback to the governance and management at that time! Does Bonin have any good suggestions?"
Man Chong said: "This matter should be done with heavy laws to make the people fear the law. At the same time, we can use the land division to disperse the people who were originally united!"
Hearing Man Chong's suggestion, Qin Ge's eyes flashed with joy and said: "Bo Ning is really brilliant! However, I still oppose the use of severe punishment. I feel that in addition to using criminal law to manage people, education can also be used to guide people's thoughts, such as increasing punishment. The education on abiding by the law can also be strengthened through measures such as honorary awards, advanced assessment, promotion and appointment, etc. to enhance the people's sense of law-abiding and self-discipline!"
Man Chong's eyes lit up, he frowned and thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "My lord's suggestion reminded me of four strategies! One is to vigorously promote the black bird totem worship and enhance the sense of belonging of the people in the territory! Second, take the opportunity to divide the land Each clan is separated to achieve the purpose of splitting small groups! Thirdly, use the public announcement archway to promote the territory's policies and moral orientation. At the same time, we organize the selection of civilized people, select advanced people every year, carry out honorary awards and expand publicity! Promote and appoint generals As a bonus, public morality can be used to demote or reduce the salary of those who have misbehaved; the fourth point is to expand the price of crime, which can increase fines and service periods. Measures such as the impact of family members' crimes on the promotion and salary of public officials can be appropriately considered. To enhance society’s awareness of law-abiding!”
Qin Ge's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Haha! Just do as you say! With Bonin, how can our Free Village not prosper!"
Man Chong bowed and clasped his fists and said: "And my lord! The etiquette system in our Free Village is too loose. Although this is conducive to everyone's unity, in the long run it will dilute the sense of dignity. For example, today, I broke into the council hall without asking permission. , I saw the scene where my lord was immoral!" Qin Ge suddenly blushed and hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Man Chong still said expressionlessly: "I said that my lord was immoral because he openly committed adultery in an administrative place under the bright sky! As for the affairs between men and women, King Wen had hundreds of wives and concubines at that time, and King Wu would lead his wives and concubines with his army, and they would go to war. It will arouse the desire in the body, this kind of thing is very normal..."
"Okay! Is it okay that I was wrong?" Qin Ge was really defeated by Man Chong! Qin Ge couldn't stand the fact that he had to say something serious like reporting on official business!
A hint of cunning flashed in the corner of Man Chong's eyes, but he quickly covered it up and clasped his fists: "Bo Ning has an uncle who once worked as a swordsman and penman in the county, and a cousin who is well-read in poetry and books. Chong Chong wrote a letter asking them to work in politics in the Free Village. At the same time, The parents and tribesmen who brought their pets came to settle here to fulfill their filial piety! I don’t know what my lord will do!” Qin Ge naturally welcomed him with both hands!
After Man Chong left, Qin Ge looked at Xiao Hei, gritted his teeth, and communicated with Xiao Hei, asking him to donate a drop of blood essence. Although Xiao Hei was very reluctant, he finally vomited a drop of blood essence, and the blood essence spread out. Like the blazing sun. However, after vomiting out the semen and blood, he passed out immediately. Qin Ge was shocked and quickly summoned Man Chong who had just left the house not far away.
After Man Chong asked about the situation, he shook his head and sighed: "My lord! Although Zu Feng Ring's blood sublimation can be called a magical skill, the essence and blood of divine beasts contains the power of their souls and is the source of the body. Xuan Feng is still in its infancy. Even an adult divine beast cannot supply essence and blood at will, let alone a juvenile divine beast. However, now that the Black Bird Altar is activated, the Black Bird can be placed in the altar to absorb the power of faith and restore its origin! As for when it will wake up, this I can't guarantee it!" Qin Ge wanted to slap himself twice when he heard this, feeling guilty for his recklessness. He wanted to improve the strength of the generals in the territory as soon as possible, but unexpectedly, Xiao Hei was hit hard. Looking at this drop of essence and blood in his hand, Qin Ge felt that it was extremely precious. Who would it sublimate? Qin Ge hesitated.
In the prison temporarily made from a private house, a capable man of about thirty years old was leaning in the house, with a haggard face. This man was one of the three village owners who attacked the Free Village and occupied Luojiazhai, a forest farm in the north. Zhao Jiangang, the leader of the gang, and one of the other three bandit leaders absconded with the crowd. The leader of the stone mine was directly picked to death by Sun Guan, and this Zhao Jiangang fell into Man Chong's eighteen-level hell illusion and walked around in hell, suffering After going through endless hardships, he did not expect that not only was he not burned to death by the fire of karma despite his heavy sins, but he also realized an innate characteristic under the torture.
"Zhao Jiangang! My lord wants to see you." The cold voice of a Dongyue soldier came, and the door was pushed open. The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for Zhao Jiangang to open his eyes. Since he was captured, Qin Ge has locked him here directly. Except for every Three meals a day are ignored. Now I heard that Qin Ge wanted to see him.
Zhao Jiangang stood up and walked a little unsteadily. He was escorted out of the room by Dongyue soldiers. When he came outside, he saw Qin Ge standing side by side with Man Chong! The soldier pushed hard, and Zhao Jiangang knelt on the ground.
"Zhao Jiangang! A native of Zhaojia Village! He is a well-known local hunter. Three years ago, because the landlord was collecting rent, his family was too poor to pay the rent! The landlord robbed his wife, and her wife threw herself into a well and died. In anger, he killed Thirteen members of the landowner’s family! We’ve become bandits!” Man Chong’s voice was like thunder, blasting in Zhao Jiangang’s ears. When he heard Man Chong’s voice, Zhao Jiangang thought of the scene in hell, and suddenly his whole body shook involuntarily!
"You are a loyal farmer! The landlord's unscrupulousness ruined your family. However, in recent years, you have led bandits around to rob, burn, kill and loot. Although you have never done anything to ordinary people, you have also proved that you have some conscience. Otherwise, I will I would have hung you in the street and beheaded you long ago!" Qin Ge's voice was cold!
"Righteous Qin! Zhao's big mistake has been made, and he deserves it. He knows that he will be punished by karma!" Zhao Jiangang started to tremble a little when he thought about the underworld. Having experienced the cleansing of sin, he became afraid of the cause and effect of heaven.
Qin Ge looked at the beating and said: "You are kind-hearted and treat your brothers like brothers. Although you rob the rich, you do not kill innocent people indiscriminately! I can give you a chance and let you live a normal life! Of course you are quite capable Yongli, our Free Village is under construction, you can join us, firstly, you can live a stable life, marry and have children without your parents having you in vain, and secondly, you can benefit the people and atone for your sins!"
Zhao Jiangang still didn't understand, so he kowtowed quickly and said: "The last general, Zhao Jiangang, kowtows to the lord! I hope you will do whatever you can to lead the army and the horse behind you!"

Zhao Jiangang was originally a very ordinary third-rate bandit, but through training in a favored area, he actually gained personality and talent. Although they are both mediocre talents, you must know that only famous generals have personality and talent. This Zhao Jiangang's potential suddenly increased a lot, and he was able to reach the level of a third-rate general by only practicing basic skills. His talent is also considered outstanding among the third-rate generals. If he changes his profession and becomes a general of Dongyue, his strength will be even higher. layer!
Unexpectedly, Man Chong's eighteen levels of hell can also have the effect of refining the mind. Qin Ge immediately wanted Man Chong to train the soldiers' minds to see if there were any who could be strengthened through mind refining like Zhao Jiangang. But it was directly rejected by Man Chong! The eighteenth level of hell is a place of execution and is only used for prisoners. Moreover, the fire of karma is very harmful to the spirit and will leave a shadow in the heart. Such people will no longer be suitable for the battlefield! Many of the soldiers captured at the South Gate were less courageous and timid. Many of them even became demented. It seemed that they were poisoned by karma.
Qin Ge asked Zhao Jiangang to change into a warrior uniform, but did not ask Zhao Jiangang to go back to the village to recruit the bandits, because in the green forest, surrender has always been regarded as a coward's behavior. Zhao Jiangang might be directly fired when he returns to the village. This kind of thing happened among the forces of evolution. He led everyone to the square, which was already filled with people. Qin Ge stepped onto the altar under the attention of everyone.
"I have always had a dream, and it is also everyone's dream. To live in a stable and comfortable environment, to have enough food and clothing, to have fields to farm, to be taken care of when we are old, and to have a happy family!" Qin Ge paused and continued: "Which of you Most people lost their land and worked as farm laborers for the landlords. They had no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies. Only then did they follow me and risk their lives to find a way out. Today we succeeded! We have formulated a new "Land Law" with the purpose of ensuring that everyone There will be fields and food for every family! Everyone! I declare that the land law is officially implemented! From now on, your prosperity will be created by your hands! As long as the Free Village is here, you will have food to eat and fields to eat!" Everyone in the square began to cheer. .
Man Chong stood on the step below Qin Ge and shouted loudly: "The sacrifice begins!" Under Man Chong's arrangement, Qin Ge led the people to sacrifice to the black bird and pray for its blessing, which was a cumbersome ancient procedure. It made Qin Ge dizzy, but Man Chong did it very seriously, paying close attention to every movement and detail. In the end, he even wrote a recitation of Xuan Niao Fu and burned it in front of the altar. Qin Ge looked at Xiao Hei who fell asleep on the black bird statue and felt extremely sad. Qin Ge could vaguely feel that everyone would produce some inexplicable power when worshiping. Man Chong and Sun Guan were the strongest, while other people were as thin as gossamer. This power should be what Man Chong said was the faith. The power is now repairing Xiao Hei's origin.
After leading the people to worship heaven and earth, everyone in the territory began to go to the land registration office to go through the land contract procedures! Most of them are common people who follow Qin Ge, and some are bandits who have surrendered. They are tired of the days of fighting and want to live a stable life by marrying wives and having children!
