Chapter 227 Three Ways
Gum!

Gui Xingchao quickly drank the glass of cold beer in his hand, wiped his mouth, and then looked outside the city wall.

Under the sun, the dark refugees put their clothes on their heads to resist the scorching sun, but no one dared to get close to the city wall to enjoy the coolness in the shadow.

They just raised their necks in vain and looked in the direction of the city gate numbly, as if they wanted to see through the entrance to heaven.

"Isn't this issue decided from the beginning? What does it have to do with whether I drink or not?"

Inducing those lords to lay off staff is one of Longwei's plans. It seems that they have kept the elite soldiers, but if the number is small, they will not be able to expand. Even their lords' ambitions will drop a lot. Expansion capacity.

"Seriously," waving his hand to reject the beer handed over by his subordinates, Lin Guiyao stood beside Gui Xingchao and frowned.

"Who thought there would be so many people? Once they become mobs, even if they can't hit our city walls, they will panic the people in our city. Whether they are killed by us or starved to death, our notoriety It's all set!"

Refugees who lack weapons and ammunition want to attack the 30-meter-high city wall is tantamount to a dream, but letting them block it outside is not an option.

"Village Chief, do you still care about your reputation?" Gui Xingchao asked with a half-smile.

"I don't care, I don't care, the key is to see which one has more benefits. Well, don't talk about it, tell me what you can do!"

Gui Xingchao raised his transparent wine glass and shook his head.

"If you want to take your reputation into account, then the only way is to release food."

"Grain?"

"En!" Gui Xingchao nodded.

"There are more than [-] people down here, no matter they are forced or not, they come here just to get a bite to eat, but within a hundred miles, only our territory is relatively rich, so it is understandable for them to come to us."

"There are so many of them, we can afford to raise them, but what's the use? Is it the same as the people in the labor village to supply them until the harvest, and then receive the land tax?" Lin Guiyao asked.

"Hehe, village chief, do you think it's fun to raise 10 people outside the city? These people are all abandoned from other territories, not real refugees who have endured the hardships of the wasteland. If someone pushes it, ambition will come out chichichi, and then..."

Lin Guiyao nodded. This is indeed similar to raising a hundred thousand white-eyed wolves. Once out of control, the consequences will be disastrous.

"So the food distribution I said is an expedient measure. Isn't that radiation hole only 10 kilometers away from us? Just give them a meal of porridge, enough for them to migrate there. For such a big mountain, raise another [-] Ten thousand people should not be a problem."

Migrating to a radiation hole?

That place full of poisonous water and mountains full of poisonous weeds?

"This is a way, but I don't think they will all be willing to go there and wait to die. It would be good if they can move 1 people." Lin Haidao.

It is absolutely correct to say that the Radiation Cave is a place where you are waiting to die. If you drink the radioactive water and eat those poisonous things, you will basically only have two or three years left to live. What is it if it is not waiting to die?
But who would want to die if he could live?
"Is there any other way?" Lin Guiyao asked.

"Yes, but then you don't care about your reputation!"

Gui Xingchao turned the wine glass upside down, and a drop of orange liquid flowed down and shattered on the ground.

Lin Guiyao watched the drops of water spread on the city bricks, which were quickly dried by the scorching sun, and raised his head and said:

"Go ahead!"

"Three ways," Gui Xingchao raised three fingers.

"One, kill them!"

"It's just one hundred thousand mobs. One thousand elite soldiers can break them up. When we kill twenty to thirty thousand, they will naturally leave here with their butts pissed off."

"This won't work. Unless they provoke us first, I'm afraid people in the city will be uneasy if they start killing like this." Lin Guiyao shook his head and refused.

More than 3 people have been added to the city. Who knows if there are any of their relatives and friends outside. His system can identify villagers, but it can't identify bad guys. He doesn't want to turn his territory into a spy that everyone is in danger of. City, watching every second who wants to do bad things.

But if you don't, if they hold a grudge, it will be troublesome if there is a large-scale riot.

"Then the second method is to accept it!" Gui Xingchao seemed to have known Lin Guiyao's choice for a long time, retracting one finger and continuing.

"It's still the same sentence, only 10 people, we can afford it!"

"Although these people have many weaknesses, they are much better than those who suffer from radiation sickness as a labor force. It's just that it takes up a lot of our resources and energy to prevent them from rebelling."

"We can't even provide a job for all the 5 people in the city, so what can we do to raise them? Do you want them to be...cannon fodder?" Lin Hai's eyes widened.

Gui Xingchao glanced at him approvingly.

"I can't say that they are completely cannon fodder. Mercenaries may be more suitable..."

"These people come from various territories. After being expelled, they were extremely angry towards those lords. What do you think would happen if they were turned into a band of plunderers under such circumstances?"

hiss!
Everyone was shocked, this idea is really crazy!

These 10 people, no matter how unbearable the fighting power is, if they fight one by one by numbers, wouldn't they be able to take down all those territories?

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if they can't be defeated, the power of these territories will be greatly consumed. At that time, it is natural to let them occupy the dove's nest or absorb it as a slave territory, which is naturally arbitrary.

And as long as this matter is done cleanly, the Metropolis can't say anything.

Because those are the subordinates who ran out of these territories by themselves, and it has nothing to do with their City of Hope.

"But it's still the problem, take control!"

"Minister Wang, do you think it is possible to control an army of 10 people?"

Gui Xingchao looked at Wang Bing, Wang Bing thought for a while, then shook his head.

"It is difficult to control a hundred thousand laborers, let alone soldiers with food and guns. This requires us to put a lot of people inside and constantly disrupt and disperse them, but it will easily expose that we, Hope City, are behind the scenes. . Covering your ears and stealing your bell, the problem is that you haven’t even covered your ears! Besides, we don’t have that many people.”

"Okay, then there is one last solution." Gui Xingchao spread his hands.

"Have you heard of raising Gu?"

"Raising Gu?"

Everyone was puzzled, only Lin Guiyao looked at the group of people outside with some understanding.

"Well, I read this in a very old book. Although it is a novel and cannot be taken as true, it is very interesting, so I wrote it down."

"What exactly is raising Gu, military master, don't be fooled, just say it!"
