The best survival in troubled times

"Okay, we all know, we will go as soon as possible."

Everyone left and Pearl came in through the back door.

Mr. Wu looked at the sneaky pearl and shook his head gently.

"My lord, why did you tell them directly?"

"Aren't I embarrassed? You said I'm like a freeloader. I still have to instruct them to work. I feel bad."

When Mr. Wu heard this, he chuckled twice and turned around and returned to his desk. He sat down and continued to wrap up his official documents, thinking that he was sorry for you, so I went there on purpose.

"Sir, if the man from Fucheng comes to surrender, will it be the prince's intention or the prefect's intention?"

"Who do you think you mean, sir?"

Pearl held the pen and turned it back and forth in her hand, watching the pen spin rapidly in her hand.

"I think it was the intention of the third prince of Beirong. I should not have let him go at that time and left such a trouble.

If you see him again, you will be the first to kill him. After all, you shouldn't have let him run away at that time.

Nowadays, more than a dozen princes are all in power. With our Central Plains in such chaos, isn’t it a good time for them to invade from foreign countries?

Besides, the third prince must have known about the vision that appeared on me. If he killed me, wouldn’t he be a more powerful person than the image? "

"My lord, what you said is very reasonable. Please think carefully and think about what you should do when you think of it. How can we maximize our interests?"

Pearl took a pen and dabbed some ink, and drew back and forth on the paper for a long time, thinking about how to maximize profits.

Of course, we must occupy Fucheng first. If we occupy Fucheng, it will be much larger than it is now.

"My lord, you have already figured it out. What else can I say? You can do whatever you want, don't you go to your cell?"

"Yes, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. I have to go to my cell. There are so many treasures waiting for me in the cell.

They are all useful people. I heard that there are many criminal thieves. I don’t know how the officer caught these bad guys before.

Those people are bad guys in his eyes, but they are all treasures in my eyes. Everyone has a great use. "

Mr. Wu raised his head and looked at Pearl's expression, and saw that Pearl looked truly happy.

"Those people are your babies. It seems like you, a woman, should be careful about what you say. Even if you are stronger than a man, you can't open your mouth, baby, and shut up, baby."

"Why not? It's natural for men to call women that, but it's not natural for women to call men that. That's wrong, it's against ethics."

"That's not to say. Don't you feel embarrassed after you said those words?"

"I don't think so. I just feel that the people there are precious. I want to discover those people and it's best to discover more of them. They are all wealth."

"Then sir, go quickly."

Mr. Wu didn't dare to listen any more, for fear that he would hear some earth-shattering words again that would overwhelm his little heart.

Pearl looked so pity, I still want to continue chatting with you.

Pearl walked out and ran directly to the prison. When she arrived at the prison, Pearl saw that the dark prison was full of people, including men, women, old and young.

"Bring the old people out first."

When the cell leader heard this, he quickly brought out all the old people in the cell. Pearl saw that most of them were old men.

Those people were only wearing thin linen clothes, which had not been washed for several years.

"Tell me, what do you guys do?"

When the old men heard this, they knelt down and looked up at the young girl in front of them.

"Those who are skilled in craftsmanship stand on the left and those with martial arts stand on the right."

The crowd slowly parted after hearing this. It seemed that there were so many talented people here, and they didn't know how to do anything.

"Stand up and stand in the middle with real content."

A dozen more people stood up, and it seemed that they were all literate.

Pearl looked at these old people, and it seemed that they really had a lot of fun.

"Now there is an opportunity in front of you. I don't know if you can seize it."

More than a dozen people looked at each other and immediately knelt on the ground to ensure that they would be able to grasp it.

"Okay, then you go out today and build the city wall. If you can do a good job, I can let you out."

A dozen old people were not surprised to hear this. After all, they had been working a lot before.

The police quickly took them away and each gave them an identity tag.

The identity cards are all serial numbers, made of small bamboo pieces, arranged from top to bottom.

"If you do a good job, you can also become officials and police officers."

These old people were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. They didn't want to be officials or policemen, they just wanted to get out of here.

Some people were wrongly accused, some were real thieves, and so on, but Pearl didn't let any of them out and just let them do their work.

Soon the young and strong man came out. Pearl looked at these people and smiled softly.

If we say there is no labor force, isn’t that what it means?

He also said that there are insufficient troops. Isn’t that good? Isn’t this all about military strength?

It's still the same as before, those who are good at martial arts stand on one side, those who are good at crafts are on one side, and those who are good at writing are on one side.

The people were quickly sorted out, and their identity cards were handed out.

These people don't know what the new adult is going to do.

"Where did you work before and what did you do?"

After Pearl finished speaking, no one responded to Pearl and looked at the cell leader.

"The adults are asking questions, pick one to speak to."

A very thin man came out. He was tall and thin and looked like he was staggering when he walked.

"Sir, we dug rocks before."

"Do you know what the rocks you dug are used for?"

How many seconds did the man pause?

"iron ore."

Pearl was not surprised at all when she heard this. Otherwise, how could so many people come to rob this small county?

This small poor county is so broken, but it has been doing well all these years without being rich. I wonder what the people here rely on to survive, and the county boss is still so rich?

"You came down from the mine."

"Sir, the younger one is back from the mine. There are still people working in the mine."

"Why are you back? Why haven't they come back?"

"The county master ordered us to make batches every ten days."

"Where did you transport the stones when you came back?"

The man knelt on the ground and looked up at the girl in front of him. He didn't know what the girl wanted to do. It seems that the county master is gone, leaving this girl to take possession of him.

The people kneeling on the ground thought to themselves that this was really a sluggish county magistrate, and the iron-clad county magistrates came one after another.

"What's your question, sir?"

"What is your name?"

The man kneeling on the ground didn't expect to suddenly ask his name. Shouldn't he first ask where the mine is and how much iron ore he came back to steal?
