Wang Lang was deeply moved by revisiting the old place. This simple cave protected the wandering and helpless self at the time. If he had not found this refuge, he would probably have died in the wild.

Wang Lang elevated this place to the height of a holy land. As a neighboring holy land, it can be imagined that his future status in Xia Kingdom will definitely be extraordinary.

The officials in Dingbei City are now full of pride and mission.

After leaving this small cave, Wang Lang led his people to review the past along the road he had walked. The small salt mine on the river beach has now been used and has become the main source of salt for nearby people.

It was busy for a day, and it was not until the evening that Wang Lang and everyone returned to Dingbei City.

In the next few days, Wang Lang, who was rarely free, was mostly spending time with his family. During this period, Wang Lang also visited the local academy and met the only dozen students here.

Since the selection exam a few years ago, the imperial examination, which was originally scheduled to be once every three years, has been delayed due to the threat of the enemy. Wang Lang felt that it was time to hold another imperial examination. With the increase of the population, the number of officials at the bottom was far from enough.

While Wang Lang was traveling in the north with his family, in Yancheng, those dinosaur prisoners were ushering in their miserable career.

The Ministry of Rites allowed Fang Shaoshi to select three females from these prisoners, and as a special case, he also allowed him to select a dinosaur follower. Naturally, Fang Wanglong, who was very good at observing words and expressions, was selected.

At this moment, with the courage of human soldiers, Fang Shaoshi, with the arrogant Fang Wanglong, stood majestic in front of the prisoners and talked to them.

"You dirty guys, your good days are over from today. From now on, you must start working. There is no extra food to feed you idle people in Daxia. Listen, if you don't want to die, just be obedient. Seeing that there are no protruding wooden stakes on the city wall, you dare to make trouble, and you will be hung there."

After Fang Shaoshi finished speaking, the prisoners looked at the tall city and their bodies subconsciously shivered.

At this time, Fang Wanglong, who was beside him, roared: "Do you understand? You should listen to the human commander and answer loudly."

"snort!"

These prisoners looked at this guy who was dependent on his power without cutting them, and their eyes were full of contempt. No matter who fell to this level, they would not feel much better, so they would naturally not give it any good face.

"I think you just need to be beaten!"

Seeing these guys so disrespectful, Fang Wanglong was so angry that he raised the whip in his hand and was about to suck at these people.

This is Fang Shaoshi stopping it and said, "Get back!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Wanglong quickly put down the whip that had been raised.

"Don't think I'm joking. The human commander said that if you perform well and get recommendations from humans, you may be able to regain your freedom. I hope you will perform well. Now you will be grouped together. If one person makes trouble, you will be killed. Remember this and I hope you will supervise each other and don't throw away your names for nothing because of others." Fang Shaoshi said loudly.

The captives were shocked when they heard this. Humans' move was too sinister. In this way, who could trust their companions around them?

When the prisoners were panicking, Fang Shaoshi turned around and said respectfully to an official behind him: "Sir, I have finished the explanation. Can I get into groups now?"

Doctor Zhao, who was standing by, translated this sentence.

The official nodded and signaled that he could start.

Fang Shaoshi knew it and shouted at the prisoners: "Now there are ten people in groups, and each prisoner will have a mark on his body. This is your number. If the number is deliberately destroyed, he will be executed according to chaos."

While the dinosaurs were puzzled, human soldiers came over with a cylindrical object made of iron. These human soldiers lit the coals inside and put soldering irons of different shapes in them.

The captives immediately understood what they were going to do and were immediately scared to retreat.

Seeing the dinosaurs showing signs of rioting, the human soldiers surrounding the prison camp rustled and their armors were rustling, and all the beds, crossbows, bows and arrows were aimed at these prisoners. As long as they dared to move, they would be ruthlessly shot and killed.

Seeing this, Fang Shaoshi hurriedly shouted: "If you don't want to die now, just endure the pain and make this mark on your body."

The captives looked at the weapons that were shining with cold light and their hearts sank, knowing that as long as they resisted, they would soon become a corpse.

Seeing that the riots of the prisoners subsided, the soldiers put down their bows and arrows one after another.

The flames in the iron stove burned more and more vigorously, and soon the soldering irons of different shapes were burned red.

"Let's start!"

The official in charge of the matter spoke.

More than a dozen soldiers in armor lined up and stood in a series, with no expression on their faces.

In order to alleviate the pain of the dinosaurs, the Ministry of Works specially asked the craftsmen to make the soldering iron very small. Since there were more than 20,000 prisoners, in order to facilitate distinction and management, these prisoners will be assigned to various places in the Xia Kingdom. Each group of ten people can be divided into about 2,000 rents, and each city can be divided into more than 100 prisoners. The numbers of these prisoners are composed of the names of the city they are located plus three numerical numbers. For example, the prisoners in Yancheng are salt oo1, salt oo2, and so on. The numbers of each person can be said to be unique.

Each prisoner had to endure the pain four times. The prisoners who were not yet on their turn were so scared that they had already fought like sieves when they heard the screams of their companions. However, there was a threat from human soldiers beside them, and they did not dare to resist at all. Compared with death, endurance might have passed.

Since these prisoners were of special use to Wang Lang, the undead had specially explained that the branding was best in an inconspicuous position, and the position chosen by these soldiers was the outside of their thighs.

These marks are usually difficult to show in this place as long as you wear pants.

These prisoners who had experienced pain were limped and were taken down by the doctors waiting beside each other. After a simple disinfection and bandage, the soldiers marshalled them according to their numbers.

The marshalling work lasted for a week. After a week of cultivation, the first marshalling people were transferred out of the camp and escorted by dozens of soldiers to their service locations.

Although the small leaders among the prisoners were not exempted from the punishment of the iron due to Fang Shaoshi's care, they were also given some rights among these prisoners to manage the local prisoners. Compared with ordinary prisoners, these people would have more freedom.

In half a month, a large number of prisoners were divided, and the farming was not required to be done by prisoners. These tall races have rare labor, mines and construction sites. They are their good places to go.

Only two hundred prisoners were left in Yancheng. These prisoners were arranged to work in nearby iron ore. From this day on, the prisoners had new names, "Reformed Labor Criminal!"

After dealing with these prisoners, Fang Shaoshi was extremely relaxed. He only needed to manage the prisoners in Yancheng. With Fang Wanglong, the diligent dog-legged, helping with the help of his work, his daily job was to drink cool and delicious juice leisurely at the iron ore, and watch those same tribes hunched their bodies to transport baskets of ore into the hanging basket. This kind of life was simply too comfortable.

As veterans gradually returned to their hometowns, these veterans were all rich people. Their return quickly led to the growth of the local economy, and these commodities, especially cloth and wine, were the most popular among them.

Although most soldiers and their long-separated wives and children are full of joy, they can have anything when the forest is big, and many cities have some unpleasant things.

The soldiers who had been away from home for many years found that they were already happy to be fathers when they returned home. This sudden incident immediately increased a lot of fatal cases. However, according to the laws of Daxia, after investigation, the soldiers were acquitted and the men who destroyed the relationship between the soldiers' families during the service of the soldiers were arrested.

In order to calm the anger of these soldiers and their comrades, the local government confiscated all the property of the captured prisoners. After the mortals were killed, they hung their heads on the city wall to serve as a warning.

The soldiers risked their lives to serve the country in the army. If the emotions of these soldiers were not properly handled, then these officials also knew that this would greatly affect their political achievements.

Such a severe punishment eased the angry soldiers' emotions a lot.

Of course, these things are just some small episodes, and they have no great impact on the overall national conditions of the Xia Kingdom. The main function of the return of soldiers is to greatly increase the planting area of ​​arable land. Those barren lands, with the addition of these young and strong laborers, have gradually recovered their vitality.

The implementation of the collective farm system in the Xia Kingdom during the war was also declared to be over, and the land belonging to the people returned to their own hands. The execution ability of the official uniforms greatly increased the people's trust in the government.

Officials are not as arrogant as gods, especially those agricultural officials in the Ministry of Revenue, who are most popular among farmers. These officials not only guide the people to farm, but more importantly, through these lower-level officials, the people can understand what kind of grain they can be sold at a good price after harvest.

The north is Guiyu Sancun.

Since the dinosaur retreated, nearby villagers have continued to return to their homes.

The villages that were massacred by dinosaurs gradually regained their vitality as the newly moved people arrived.

Due to Chen Bai's performance in recent years, these villages without village chiefs are temporarily left to Chen Bai.

Chen Bai is now in charge of nearly 500 people in three villages. After the soldiers returned, the village returned to its former prosperity.

Since coming to this village, Chen Bai has been working diligently for nearly five years. According to the system, it is time for lower-level officials like him to judge their political achievements in five years. He is sure that he has not made any mistakes. Even if his political achievements are not the best, they are definitely not the worst. This not only makes him look forward to his future appointment.

Five years have made the once childish young man become a angular man. Now Chen Bai has also married a local woman here. His wife is a white woman, and the two have given birth to a healthy son.

Chen Bai sat in the courtyard, watching the books he bought from Guiyucheng, and enjoying the warm sunshine.

Chen Bai's wife is busy taking care of several small wild boars in the animal pen. As long as these small wild boars grow up, they can be sold at a good price to the market in the county town.

Putting down the book, Chen Bai was very satisfied when he looked at his wife's busy figure. Although his wife was just an ordinary woman with a simple mind, she was extremely neat in her work, much better than him, a clumsy and rough man.

"Father, father, what do you think this is?" A little boy with brown head grabbed a little snake and shook at Chen Bai.

Seeing this, Chen Bai was shocked and jumped up from the stool. He knocked off the little snake in the little boy's hand and stepped on it to death with his feet.

When the little boy saw Chen Bai stepping on his toys so hard that he started crying.

Chen Bai was not angry at this moment and shouted, "I'll hold it back and cry again and you won't be allowed to eat today."

The little boy looked at his mother with grievance. Seeing that his mother ignored her intentions, tears were rolling in his eyes, and he really didn't dare to stay.

Chen Bai picked up the little snakes as big as a palm and said to his son: "This thing is poisonous. Stay away from this thing in the future. If you get bitten, you will die."

I don’t know that the little boy didn’t understand Chen Bai’s words. At this time, he just lowered his head and didn’t dare to look at Chen Bai’s eyes. His shoulders swayed gently and sobbed quietly.

Chen Bai was about to teach his naughty son a lesson, when a "click" cry suddenly came from outside the village.

Looking at the entrance of the village in surprise, a sentry ran quickly towards this side.

"Village Chief! Village Chief!"

Chen Bai hurried out and said, "What's going on!"

"Village Chief, someone is coming to the city!" The sentry reported.

"There are people coming to the city!" Chen Bai frowned slightly, "I understand, you go down, I'll come later."

"yes!"

The sentry left in a hurry after hearing this.

Chen Bai's wife nervously put down her work, pulled her child aside, and looked at Chen Bai with some concern.

"You take care of your children at home, I'll go and see what's going on."

After saying that, he returned to the house, hurriedly changed into the official uniform and walked towards the entrance of the village.

Through the wooden door at the entrance of the village, Chen Bai saw that there were indeed several official officers wearing official uniforms outside the door.

When Chen Bai opened the wooden door, he bowed and said, "I don't know what you call me, what's wrong with coming here."

"You are Chen Bai." said an official.

"It's Chen Bai!" Chen Bai said in a deep voice.

"The court has issued an order, and Chen Bai, the village chief of Yusan Village, received the order!" said the official loudly.

Chen Bai was shocked when he heard this, and quickly sorted out his clothes and listened to the order.

"Chen Bai, the village chief of Guiyu Sancun, performed well during his tenure. After consultation, he was rated as the top-ranked political achievements during his tenure. His five-year term has expired. He is now renamed Guiyu Sancun as a town and changed his name to Guiyu Nan Town. Chen Bai was appointed as the mayor of the town, with a sixth rank, and in charge of Guiyu Four, Six and Eight Villages."

After the appointment of the official general, Chen Bai was very surprised and said to himself: "Is this a promotion?"

"Chen Bai will accept the order!"

"Chen Bai received the order!"

After taking the document respectfully, he said to several officials: "Some people are here, why not go into the village to rest and leave after eating your fill."

The official shook his head and said, "No need, thank you, Mayor Chen for your kindness. We have to go to other villages." After that, he signaled to the people around him. The other person understood and handed a booklet from the pocket of the deer back to Chen Bai, saying, "Mayor Chen, this is the request of you to Guiyunan Town. You can see it yourself! We will say goodbye."

Chen Bai took the booklet and bid farewell to several officials. He turned around and was startled by the villagers. He saw these villagers gathered together and stared at him.
Chapter completed!
