Chapter 32: Survivor
Sallut could not believe that although she was a princess who was raised in the deep palace, she did not understand the world, nor did she know politics, military and economics, but she still had basic common sense, such as she knew about the Kusha Empire.
The Kusha Empire is the mortal enemy of all countries that believe in the holy religion. It is the country of pagans, and it is even more of a barbaric, terrifying, and dead country. All terrible words can be wrapped around the Kusha Empire. Even the word Kusha itself represents a kind of horror and darkness.
This is what Sallute knew for a long time. After the Kusha Empire captured the capital and caused unimaginable massacres, tortures, and created monsters that were simply like nightmares, Sallute's impression of the Kusha Empire became a demonic country, which was the country where the real enemy of the gods was located, and it was not the object that mortals could fight against.
But suddenly, the army of the Kusha Empire was repelled and the kings of the Mitland Kingdom were regained. Such things were like in a dream. Even the Lord Griffles, whom she loved most, appeared in her dream... Although it was just a glance, it had already made her very, very satisfied.
So... she doesn't want to leave the capital... she definitely doesn't want to...
"Princess, damn, it's so hateful!!" Suddenly, a female voice interrupted Sallut's random thoughts. She looked at the gate and saw that her jumping maid was walking from outside with anger on her face.
"What's wrong?" Sallut asked strangely.
The maid immediately said anxiously: "I went to find that... man, and asked for it, but he actually refused! Don't he know who he is talking to? He even told me that being able to stay in this high tower, having enough food, and not having to go out to work is already a great preferential treatment, he dares to say that!! Don't he know that this is offending the royal family!? And the most hateful thing is that he actually said that we cannot go back to the palace!! Princess, he..."
Sallut looked at the door carefully before whispering: "Okay, I understand, let's stay in this high tower, after all, it's safe..."
"Princess, but..."
Hao Qi took back his perception. To be honest, he had no interest in this princess of political symbols, and he did not come here to fight for hegemony. However, he also had mercy on this princess with a tragic fate. She actually had no freedom in her life. Although this was very normal for women before the civilization era, especially political women, she had no freedom, and she had no self. Whether it was her father's artwork and toys, or as the ladder for Griffles to climb up, she lived in manipulation, playing with, and deceiving all her life, and she actually had nothing from beginning to end.
Now Hao Qi is willing to give her a chance, but still chooses her own choice. In addition to leaving the capital, she can walk down the tower or do whatever she wants. Although she has no foundation, she is like a baby now, but he can give her some help before she grows up, such as free food, free shelter, and he can personally protect her safety, etc. Now it depends on her own choice...
On the other hand, there were about 27,000 survivors in the capital. Although in terms of the size of the previous Mitland Capital, there was not even a total of one-tenth of this number, but more than 27,000 people were still a huge group of people, and eating, drinking, defecation and urination were not a small problem.
Fortunately, a large number of people have knowledge and skills, most of them are middle class in the royal capital in the past, and more than a dozen people are survivors of the royal capital officials. So before Olivi and his friends arrived, Hao Qi reluctantly handed over the management power to them. There were more than a hundred guards and soldiers from the royal capital before, and they also managed the conflicts and illegal issues of these survivors. He basically didn't ask, and he would die if he asked.
After all, this is a dark age world. People here have no idea of civilization. Even if there is a so-called law, the law itself is an endorsement of unfairness and unjustness. This is a world that looks at bloodline, fists, family background, nobles and superiors naturally have everything. Ordinary people are naturally bullied. Whether they are bullies or oppressed, they all think that all this is a matter of course, so there is no so-called resistance. Even if there is resistance, it cannot condense the general trend. The result is just a transfer of power. The exploiters have changed a generation.
Hao Qi is not a person from this world, and he will not be abusive to these exploiters. After he explained how to manage it, he let the previous exploiters manipulate it on their own. No matter how they do it, they will not say anything. It was fine in the first few days. After all, the survivors all had a passion, all the Mitlands who survived the Kusha massacre, so it was fair at the beginning.
But after a few days, the bad nature of these managers was exposed. After all, it is the "common sense" of this era. Exploitors themselves should be arrogant. Even if there are only more than 20,000 people, even if they are still in danger at present, when the idea of exploitation appears, these people can't help it, and they begin to separate classes, exploit and rob, and begin...
Before he could continue to start other exploitation content, all the participants were killed in public by Hao Qi, and even declared his guilt in public. Although even the exploited people took it for granted and were considered guilty by Hao Qi, it was panic for a while, but other than that, Hao Qi did not make any other changes except reiterating the simple fair rules he set.
In this way, after Hao Qi killed three groups of people in a row, everyone else seemed to understand something, but they seemed to understand nothing. However, they instinctively did not dare to make the mistakes made by those people before, because the previous three groups seemed to have proved everything. Whether they did these things blatantly or secretly did these things, as long as they involved exploitation, corruption, and oppression, they would die after doing it, and Hao Qihui told them all the things they did one by one.
It was like a god who understood everything. Think about everything when Hao Qi liberated the capital. The feeling of the gods coming and always watching them was born. No one dared to be negligent or lucky.
Then they found that it seemed good too...
The food is enough. After Hao Qi occupied the capital, he immediately checked the capital's grain inventory. The total amount of grain accumulated in the capital was enough for the more than 20,000 people to eat for at least ten years. Of course, the premise is that the food is not rotten. Most of them are the military rations brought by the Kuxia army, and some are the food plundered by the Kuxia army from the city. The total amount is large and there is no worry about food at all.
But except for food, everything else is scarce, especially the entire capital is like a huge cemetery, with dead bodies being tortured everywhere. With the Kuxia army being massacred by Hao Qi, there are more bodies left behind. With such a large number of corpses accumulated, sooner or later it will become a plague place. How could Hao Qi tolerate such a situation?
What's more, although Hao Qi has not personally managed many people, Lan Ling'er has been by his side and has learned a lot of management methods through his eyes. What's more, he has read a lot of books and novels he has read in his previous life. Although most of them are the words of novelists, there are indeed some insights in it. Combined with them, Hao Qi has some experience in managing these 20,000 people.
For example, setting up an intermediate management team, setting up a very small number of top-level persons responsible for him, or providing daily necessities without compensation, but distributing them based on their labor income, and then allocating residence based on their labor income, and for example...
In short, although Hao Qi's management ability is really urgent, there are not many people here after all, and he is also very knowledgeable and dares to kill. Therefore, the early chaos and running-in stages finally passed. Since the eighth day after he occupied the capital, these more than 20,000 people have been on the right track.
In addition, the Kuxia army did not retreat. Although Hao Qi was massacred in the royal capital, basically none of them escaped from the city, the Kuxia army outside the city still had at least 100,000, and there were also a large number of ghost troops and monster troops. This huge army did not dare to get too close to the capital. It was centered on another city far away from the capital and stationed in a semi-encircled manner. A large number of Kuxia army still spread out to attack other territories of the Mitland Kingdom, and even highlighted the Mitland Kingdom and entered the surrounding countries to continue the attack.
On the other hand, the army of Light Eagle was also constantly taking action. As Hao Qi occupied the capital, the target of Light Eagle also began to shift. In addition to blocking the Kuxia army from all sides, Light Eagle frequently appeared. With frequent rescue, the military and civilians attacked by the Kuxia army, and there were many former Mitland nobles rescued by him. For a time, the reputation of Light Eagle was spread in the Mitland Kingdom. In addition, before becoming the Hand of God, Griffles was a new generation of nobles who were civilized by saving the country and saving military achievements, his reputation became even more famous.
But what surprised many foreign nobles and the surviving nobles of Mitland was that, whether it was the Eagle of Light or the Kusha Empire, both sides intentionally or unintentionally ignored the location of the Mitland capital, which is an important political and military status. The military war between the two sides almost deliberately avoided the scope of the capital, because it was so obvious that no one with a little intelligence source could ignore this issue.
What happened in the capital of Mitland...?
