"Lei Jia," Wu Shuang stared at Lei Jia's face suddenly, touched his chin and said, "I've wanted to ask you since just now, what are you looking at?"

"Ah?" Lei Jia was stunned for a moment when his little movements were discovered, and touched the back of his neck in embarrassment, "No, no, I didn't see anything."

"Really?" Wushuang obviously didn't believe it.

You Jiuba said: "He is looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Wushuang suddenly asked, "Are you looking for C?"

"Ahem!" Lei Jia coughed dryly.

Wushuang laughed: "I guessed it right! I really didn't expect General Lei, when did you care so much about our family C?"

Lei Jia straightened his neck, not daring to look into Wushuang's eyes, and only explained: "This subordinate has fought against Lu Ji before, and B...is not his opponent. Although I don't know the grudge between C and Lu Ji, I know that Bing is determined The determination to kill Luji, he... is he okay?"

Wushuang looked at Lei Jia, and said for a moment: "He is fine, although the injury is not serious, it will be better if he recuperates for a while."

Lei Jia heard: "He was seriously injured? Then where is he now?"

Wushuang: "I let him rest in the house."

"Then I'll go and see him." Lei Jia raised his foot and walked away, stopped after taking two steps, looked back at Wushuang and scratched his head, "That... my lord, which room is C in?"

Wushuang stretched out his index finger and pointed, Lei Jia nodded at Wushuang, and hurriedly walked over.

Wushuang moved and put a sticker in You Jiuba's arms, gossiping: "Tsk tsk, you said that Lei Jia cares about Bing so much, does he really have any thoughts about our little Bingzi?"

You Jiuba doesn't care about these things, but he is willing to cooperate with Wushuang: "Do you want them to be together?"

Wushuang thought for a while: "It's useless for me to hope. The main thing is to see whether C likes it or not. If they are in love, then of course I have no objection."

Wushuang was really talking, and saw Lei Jia coming out of the room very quickly, Wushuang asked curiously: "Why did you come out so soon? Don't you want to accompany me?"

Lei Jia said: "As long as he is fine, you need me more here."

Wushuang thought it was the same, he was still messing around here, so he said, "Okay, I will give you a holiday after I finish my work here!"

Lei Jia nodded: "Thank you, sir."

As expected, Lei Jia knew Baicheng well. With his help, the alien race quickly found a residence. Although it was a bit dilapidated, after two days of rush repairs, they finally provided them with a place to live. However, as Lei Jia said, the city The house is still not enough to accommodate all the alien races, and it still needs to live in the human race area.

And the rejection of the human race really gave Wushuang a headache, because Wushuang didn't want to force the alien race to coexist with the human race. He hoped that some races would take the initiative to accept the alien race. But when these words were released, Baicheng's The people fell into silence one after another, and no one was willing to stand up.

Fortunately, there are bad things and good things. For example, Xiangkang's granary is more abundant than Wushuang imagined, and the gold, silver and jewelry found by Xi are definitely enough for Wushuang to "spend" for a while.

Wushuang entrusted B to do the distribution of rations. B was timid. When he heard that such a big matter was entrusted to him, he felt a little unsure, so he asked Wushuang to borrow You Jiudrill. B felt that as long as there was You Jiu With Mandrill standing next to him, he was instantly confident!

You Jiudiao naturally didn't want to be separated from Wushuang, after all, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, but seeing Wushuang's busy face, he finally went with a cold face, let alone, You Jiudrill stood there with a cold face , Those ordinary people who were still a little extravagant, lined up honestly one by one, and those who wanted to take advantage of the crowd and get an extra share would be recognized by You Jiuba immediately. You Jiudrill was beaten up, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, half of the food that had just arrived and hadn't been warmed was taken back.

As soon as they heard that the distributed food would be taken back, how dare the common people make any mistakes. They were as honest as quails, and dared not say anything else except to say thank you.

Wushuang looked at the crowd kneeling and kneeling outside the hall, swallowed, and turned to look at Wu Hui: "So there are so many servants in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Wu nodded back: "Yes, Your Highness."

Wu Shuang originally thought that the servants of the City Lord's Mansion were at most twenty or thirty, but there must be hundreds of people kneeling in front of him now, right?Estimated that including the guards who were killed and imprisoned, there would be as many as two to three hundred in just one city lord's mansion. Wushuang thought about it: Well, I can't afford it.

So he turned around and asked Wu Hui, "Are they willing to stay?"

Wu Hui: "Not only."

Wushuang: "Not only? What do you mean?"

Wu replied: "There are still many guards who surrendered, and they all said that they are willing to stay and serve the Lord."

"I really can't afford it." Wushuang sighed, then turned to ask Wu Hui, "Is there any way to fire some people?"

Wu Hui was taken aback: "Expulsion? Does it mean dismissal?"

Wushuang nodded: "Not bad."

Wu Hui: "This... I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Wushuang: "What's wrong?"

Wu replied: "A servant is a symbol of aristocratic status. Your Highness just wants to dismiss the servants of the mansion just after the sovereignty of those Baicheng. If it is spread, it will make people laugh."

Wushuang said indifferently: "When did you see me afraid of being laughed at?"

Wu Hui was helpless: "Your Highness naturally doesn't care about these things, I'm afraid that this action of your lord will cause panic among the people. They think that you dismissed your servants because you couldn't afford them, or you killed your donkeys to relieve the burden. They surrendered, but you Kicking people out is a superficial effort, but in fact, I still want their lives!"

Wushuang looked wronged: "How can I? I just don't think it's necessary to keep so many people. The City Lord's Mansion is not small, but it's not big. There are so many servants, there are not enough rooms for them, right?"

Wu Hui: "Servants usually sleep in the hallway. Only favored or meritorious servants are eligible to sleep in the room, and several people sleep in the same room."

Wushuang sighed: "I don't want to get up in the middle of the night and step on someone. I guess they didn't get trampled to death by me. I'll scare myself to death first."

Wushuang glanced at the kneeling servants outside again, rubbing the back of his neck with his palms: "Since they can't be dismissed, is there any way to let them go by themselves?"

Wu Hui obviously couldn't figure it out for a while, and fell silent with Wushuang.

After a while, Wu Shuang clapped his hands and said: "I have a solution!"

Wu Hui: "?"

Wushuang smiled and said, "Come with me."

Wu Hui followed Wushuang out of the hall, and when the people kneeling in the courtyard saw Wushuang, they knelt down and kowtowed and shouted: "My lord! My lord, live a long life and be healthy!"

Wushuang twitched the corners of his mouth. He was called "Fushou Ankang" at his age. He always felt that it was not a good word. I guess it meant Xiangkang. Although Xiangkang was only in his fifties, he was still a grandfather in this era. Naturally, I like to hear words like "longevity, longevity and well-being".

"Speaking of... doesn't Xiangkang have any children?"

Wu Shuang hasn't really noticed this so far. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. Wu Hui looked at Wu Shuang a little, and said in a low voice, "I'll tell His Highness about this later."

Wushuang nodded, without asking any more questions, coughed lightly and said to the servant in front of her, "You all get up first."

The servants trembled: "The servants dare not."

Wu Shuang said with a straight face: "Ben Hou told you to get up, you have to get up, there will be no disobedient people around Ben Hou, get up!"

The servants looked at me and I looked at you. The one standing in the front, especially the one who stood up tremblingly, Wushuang glanced at him and raised his eyebrows.

With the first one to stand up, the others naturally stood up one after another. Wushuang stood on the steps, raised his voice and continued: "This Marquis will give you two choices now, one is to stay in the city lord's mansion and continue to work for you." Slaves, but no matter what you used to do, from now on, everyone will start from scratch. I don’t like people who flatter and flatter me the most. If you want to stay with me and do things, you have to be obedient, diligent, and abide by your principles. Those who are lazy and like to play tricks behind their backs to form gangs and bully others, once discovered, they will be reduced to slaves immediately, and they will move stones to the prison with the rebels in the prison!"

When the servants heard the words "prison" and "rebel", their faces turned pale. Where is the prison and who are those rebels? Just hearing about it is enough to scare them out of their wits, as Wushuang said, the City Lord’s Mansion is either big or small, so it’s impossible for so many people to work. Those who do practical things, at this moment, have started to sweat coldly on their foreheads, and they always feel that Wushuang's words seem to be just for them to hear, and they are guilty of not daring to look up.

Wushuang's eyes seemed to sweep over the faces of each of them, and then said: "The second choice."

Many people pricked up their ears to listen.

Wushuang: "Who wants to leave now? This Marquis promises to restore your status as civilians. You can go to the tofu workshop to get your food like the common people in the city. Those who have homes can go home on their own. Those who have no homes can go to Apply to General Lei Jialei for the barracks, and General Lei will arrange accommodation for you, and you will be the people of my Baicheng from now on."

The servants were astonished, they looked at Wushuang with disbelief, there is such a good thing in the world?

Although servants are not completely free like slaves, they also signed a contract of sale from the moment they entered the city lord's mansion. Now Wushuang says that he will restore their freedom and give them back food. The temptation is not small.

At the beginning when they entered the city lord's mansion, many people were poor and had no choice but to come in to save their lives. Later, they found that they might not be able to survive after entering the city lord's mansion. Every year, ten or eight servants in the city lord's mansion always disappeared inexplicably. Xiangkang had no time to spare. Regardless of this, their family members did not dare to ask more questions. If they die, they will die. Now that they have changed their masters, they all say that there is one king and one courtier. I was afraid that Wushuang would know what I had done in the past. As a servant, if I didn't gain the trust of the director, I would never be able to become famous in this life. For a while, many people really wanted to leave.

Wushuang didn't force them to leave immediately, seeing that many people were shaken, he said, "I'll give you three days to think about it, and if you want to leave within three days, you can go to General Wu Hui to get back your contract of sale, that's all. That's it for today, let's go away."
