"Mr. Meng is in trouble because of the handling of these people?"
Meng Huaining smiled bitterly and nodded: "After all, they are ordinary people, and they cannot negotiate with the barbarian emperor to exchange property for people like soldiers.
Judging from the current situation of the barbarians, the barbarian emperors wished that more people would die so that they could save some food. "
Hu Cong cannot deny this.
He came here just to think of a way to relieve Meng Huaining's worries.
"I do have an unformed idea. Tell me and Mr. Meng will make a decision?"
Meng Huaining was having a headache about this matter. Seeing that Hu Cong had a solution, he quickly asked: "Brother Hu, what's the solution?"
Hu Cong said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Meng must have heard that when I was in the capital, I had my own engineering team."
Hearing this, Meng Huaining seemed to have thought of something.
"Brother Hu, what you mean is that you plan to recruit these people as workers in your engineering team?"
Hu Cong nodded: "I do have such an idea. I see that these people are all skinny. They must have had a hard time in the barbarians.
In another month, the construction here will be basically completed. I plan to make a living from construction in the future, so it is very necessary to have a team in hand. "
Meng Huaining knew the details of Hu Cong and knew many things about him.
But he couldn't figure it out. There were so many people in Dashun, why would he choose those ignorant barbarians to do it?
"Brother Hu, wouldn't it be better if you formed an engineering team and hired us Dashun people?"
Hu Cong smiled and continued to explain: "I also want to hire people from Dashun, and some of the people who are helping the Mo family build houses are favored by me.
I am a very strict person, and those who do not meet my satisfaction will definitely not be included in my engineering team.
Moreover, the design of the house I am building now comes from Mrs. Mo Jiu. If she can trust me so much and entrust me with such a good design, I must ensure that it cannot be spread from my hands.
There is indeed a possibility of being leaked by hiring these barbarians, but Mr. Meng doesn't know that I have discussed with Madam Ninth some time ago and asked her to help develop a pill.
This pill is not very toxic, but the antidote must be taken on time, so that I can control those people to be loyal to me. "
As for the details of the pills, Hu Cong did not mention them to Meng Huaining.
He had indeed approached He Zhiran, hoping to make money by cooperating with him on the construction of the courtyard.
And after several discussions, the two reached an agreement that he and He Zhiran would share the profits 50/50.
With the money to be made, He Zhiran could not object, and besides, she had never wanted to hide the construction of the courtyard.
Since Hu Cong is willing, she will be happy to have it fulfilled while making profits for herself.
Of course, she and Hu Cong also discussed the issue of the engineering team.
In the end, it was He Zhiran who came up with such a bad idea.
She can indeed prepare the poison that Hu Cong mentioned and take the antidote on time.
However, as a modern soul, she does not want to control ordinary people in this way.
So she created a long-acting laxative.
This medicine is not harmful to the human body. As the name suggests, the long-lasting effect is one hundred days.
Once a person takes this pill, if he does not take a second pill one hundred days later, he will experience mild abdominal pain for the first two days, and diarrhea will begin on the third day.
After having diarrhea a few times, all the toxins in the body will be eliminated.
Not only that, He Zhiran also added some detoxifying ingredients to the pills, which not only will not affect the body of the user, but will also remove the toxins accumulated in their body.
It can be said that this is not only not poison, but also a rare health elixir.
However, it is impossible for the user to discover the characteristics of this medicine, and they will definitely think that they are poisoned because they did not take the next pill.
With this pill, Hu Cong is extremely sure that he can make his workers loyal.
Meng Huaining was already having a headache because of the problem of these barbarians. Although Hu Cong's method was not perfect for him, it was better than nothing.
"Brother Hu, whether they are Dashun or barbarian people, it is a good thing that they can stay and work here, but I hope not to hurt their bodies."
As a parent official, the lives of the people are more important.
It is impossible for Meng Huaining to help the tyrants because of his own interests.
Hu Cong knew that Meng Huaining cared about the people, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Meng, please rest assured that Madam Ninth Pharmaceuticals is still very confident."
Meng Huaining believed in He Zhiran from the bottom of his heart, so when he heard Hu Cong mention that the medicine came from her again, he felt inexplicably relieved.
"In that case, Brother Hu will make arrangements after these people wake up!"
Seeing that Meng Huaining had no objection, Hu Cong put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.
"Ahem...Mr. Meng, I need at most fifty people."
Meng Huaining was dumbfounded. There were at least three to four hundred living barbarians in front of him, and Hu Cong could only leave fifty people. What was the difference between that and the unexpected method of dealing with them?
Hu Cong saw Meng Huaining's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.
"Don't worry, Mr. Meng, even if I can't accommodate more people here, there is still a way to solve it."
Meng Huaining raised his eyebrows: "Brother Hu, do you have any good ideas?"
"I understand what Mr. Meng means. It's just that he feels a little unwilling to let these people go back easily. And these are common people and they can't be killed."
Meng Huaining nodded repeatedly: "That's true."
Hu Cong continued to express his thoughts: "I think these barbarians are not all evil-doers. If they have enough to eat, who would be willing to do robbery.
Later, when they wake up, if Mr. Meng can trust me, please leave it to me. "
Meng Huaining didn't know what Hu Cong had any good ideas for.
As long as these people can be sent away smoothly and never come again in the future, he will feel at ease.
"Okay, let's leave it to Brother Hu."
Meng Huaining had no doubts about Hu Cong's ability. After all, someone who had been an official in the government for many years must have some ability in dealing with things.
He Zhiran's drug did not take effect for a long time, and the unconscious barbarians began to wake up one after another after almost an hour.
The barbarians who had just woken up were all confused and had no idea what was happening, and they were all tied up with their own belts.
Here, Meng Huaining had given full authority to Hu Cong and did not make any reaction.
The officials who had just arrived were standing by Meng Huaining's side at all times. As long as the master didn't say anything, they would not make any move.
Hu Cong understood what Meng Huaining meant and strode up to those people.
He pointed to those who were not stunned and said: "Explain to them yourselves what happened."
This kind of thing will be much clearer for people to explain.
