Chapter 79 Placement
"What about those prisoners?" At this moment, Victor followed Zhao Feng in a low voice to discuss countermeasures.

Bernice said coldly: "There's nothing to be polite about, just kill them all. Keeping these people is a disaster instead, and it's a waste of food and fresh water."

In her opinion, killing prisoners is a very normal thing.After all, keeping these sand bandits not only requires providing them with food, but also worrying about their counterattack.

Victor said: "Although there is no problem in the name of killing prisoners, I always feel that it is too cruel. Young master, what is your opinion?"

Zhao Feng said: "It's very simple, kill some of the culprits, and organize the rest into a coolie camp to do things and serve as slaves."

"But, our country does not allow slaves?"

Among the three principalities, Montella does not allow slavery, and pays attention to the equality of everyone.Although there are aristocratic families and the like, the concept of aristocrats is not particularly profound.

Matthew, the founding king of the Montella Empire.Hazel's family is not particularly prominent, and their qualifications are not particularly old. Compared with the noble families in the empire, the Hazel family can only be regarded as a small noble.In terms of blood, the Hazel family is not particularly superior.Therefore, they don't particularly emphasize things like the theory of blood.

In order to liberate slaves from nobles, Matthew Hazel, the founding monarch of the Monterra Empire, promulgated the "Slavery Prohibition Code", saying that slaves are not allowed within the empire.All slaves, as long as they provide a certain amount of money, can be freed.

Zhao Feng said: "There are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom. Don't worry, I know how to do it, and no one will be caught. Besides, these private soldiers and tenants are not similar to slaves? Actually, I am not would go too far."

After speaking, Zhao Feng put down his job and walked to the pile of prisoners.Looking at the dejected captives, Zhao Feng said: "You guys, do you want to eat?"

"miss you!"

Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the prisoners all nodded desperately.

Zhao Feng said: "It's okay to want to eat, but you have to help me with things. If you are willing to do it with me, all stand up. If you don't want to, don't stand up."

These sand robbers are not stupid, and they all stood up when they heard the words.

Being able to survive and eat a bite of food is the best thing for these sand robbers.For people like him, being able to save a life is better than anything else.

"Okay, I'll give you a way. Now you join my guards and become miscellaneous soldiers. I won't let you work for nothing. I will pay everyone who works for me on a monthly basis. If you do Alright, I'll seal him up."

Zhao Feng is a lord and a nobleman, so he can appoint some officials in the territory on his own without the approval of the kingdom.

Compared to being a robber, it would be a great thing to be able to serve in the kingdom's territory.What's more, there is still money to take, and these prisoners are naturally very happy.

"After you have worked for one year, you will become formal soldiers. Before that, you can only get one gold coin per month." Zhao Feng said to the sand robbers.

"What, a gold coin!" Hearing Zhao Feng's words, the Sand Pirates all showed surprise expressions.

Zhao Feng added another sentence: "Food and lodging are included, and a set of clothes will be distributed every quarter. If it is a festival, there will be extra meals. However, training is very hard."

"Row!"

"No matter how hard you work, you can do it!"

Most of these sand bandits joined the sand bandits for the sake of making a living.And the status of these captives among the Sand Pirates is not too high.

Usually, they are people who are responsible for cleaning the battlefield or transporting luggage.Most of the elite among the real sand bandits died in the battle just now.

"Okay, you go to eat in batches right away." Zhao Feng said to the soldiers guarding them: "First put ten people in a row and let them eat something. If they dare to escape or resist, they will be shot."

"Yes, my lord!" The soldiers nodded.

Seeing that Zhao Feng was recruiting talents, Victor showed a look of admiration, but he was a little worried and said: "Master, these sand thieves will not change their nature. If they expressly agree to recruit, they secretly think about treason." , Aren’t we at a disadvantage?”

Zhao Feng said: "The reason why these Sand Pirates are Sand Pirates is firstly to make a living, and secondly to make money. Now, I will pay them salaries, and then let them mix into the tents of various sandmen and manage them separately. I can’t play tricks either. I’ll issue a decree on joint sittings later. Each group elects a small leader to manage these people. If one person in a group makes a mistake, joint sittings must be adopted to let them supervise each other.”

"That's a good idea." Victor nodded and said, "Let Zauri manage these people and make sure they can be submissive."

Zhao Feng nodded and said: "Yes, I will pick out Zauri and other sand people who are stronger and conduct military training. In this way, even if the enemy comes to attack, we will have the ability to fight back."

Victor said: "Okay, everything is up to you, master. No matter what you do, I will always support you."

Zhao Feng said: "I know." He was full of gratitude for this loyal subordinate.With Victor as the butler in the territory, it was much easier for him to do things.

After that, Zhao Feng went to visit the wounded and inspected the territory.Later, they discussed with Zauri and the others how to place these captives.

"Among you, if there are any talents, you can tell them, and I will give priority to them." Zhao Feng asked specifically when he was classifying the prisoners.

Unexpectedly, among these captives, most of them could ride horses, a small number of them were swordsmen, and some of them were farmers.

After careful questioning, there are actually thirty people who are good at riding.

Zhao Feng thought to himself, if he has time, he must prepare a cavalry company to protect the desert oasis, which is a good thing.After all, in the desert, transportation is not particularly convenient.Having a cavalry unit can not only be used to defend the homeland, but also occupy a certain amount of convenience in transportation.

Now, what Zhao Feng needs most is talents.Even if it is some sand robbers, he will directly recruit them.As long as they are obedient and don't make trouble, Zhao Feng will allow them to stay.

Of course, safety comes first.

Bernice, who came from the intelligence department, said: "I'll go to the bottom to see if there are any bloody cases among these people, and then clean them up."

"Okay, it's good to find out the details of these people." Although it is said that there is no need to suspect people and employ people, Zhao Feng still hopes to reduce the possibility of danger as much as possible.

After some torture and cleaning, Zhao Feng finally left two hundred prisoners.

At this time, the sand people who were captured by the sand bandits also chose to stay here to farm.Most of these people were women and the old and weak, and all the men were killed.

These women are the key force for future population growth in the desert oasis.

After this change, the population of the original desert oasis has been greatly increased, with a sudden increase of several hundred people.At this time, the originally barren desert oasis became more and more lively and prosperous.
