    "There are no innocent people!" At this time, Lan Hai spoke instead, "Have you ever thought that if these rebels succeed, will they let all of us go? Will they let those infants and young children go?" This Xiao Haoyi  Suddenly it got stuck.  After all, there are still some shadows of the past in Xiao Hao's heart, and the softness in his heart has not been completely wiped out.  Just a rhetorical question from Lan Hai made Xiao Hao understand immediately reality is reality.  Sometimes, if you can¡¯t make a decision, it¡¯s a good idea to put yourself in someone else¡¯s shoes; and after Xiao Hao put himself in someone else¡¯s shoes, he immediately made a decision.  In some life-and-death battles, excessive kindness can only put oneself into crisis. That is not kindness, but stupidity.  "Thenlet's get rid of the root cause!" Xiao Hao closed his eyes in pain.  In fact, in Xiao Hao's view, infants and young children are really innocent. If adults still pretend to be confused, then children really don't understand anything.  However, thinking of the cruel killings in the other world, the Oriental Island Country, Xiao Hao hardened his heart for a moment.  The final order began to be issued, and everyone signed and stamped the final order.  Xiao Hao then gave the order in the form of an imperial edict.  Since he wanted to kill completely, Xiao Hao didn't want any "Prince's Revenge" to appear on him.  Because of the unprecedented victory of the trading center, Xuguo suddenly gained a strong prestige. If thousands of masters after the purple energy were spread, the rebels would not be able to escape at all.  In less than ten days, more than 500,000 people were arrested. Among them were nobles, businessmen, landlords, bullies, and ordinary people; from the gray-haired old man to the young children waiting to be fed, everyone  They were gathered near the trading center, under the gaze of people from all countries and even all races.  Xu Guo launched a public trial.  Yes, a public trial!  Xu Guo once again attracted all the attention with his unique political simulation.  So much so that the trading center almost announced a three-day break.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Out of the trading center, on a stage temporarily built with magical powers, Xiao Hao, Mo Xinfang, and Han Yufeng, as representatives, and countless judges, large and small, started judging these people.  Some of the other officials from Xu Kingdom lined up next to them.  "Bring the prisoner!" Two elite soldiers first brought up a man who was still wearing noble clothes and had not even been badly treated.  No kneeling, no scolding or anything like that.  The aristocratic prisoner was thrust into a chair and sat across from everyone.  "Didn't kneel down?" Some viewers keenly observed this.  In the human race, it is almost a "routine" to kneel when facing officials, especially high-ranking officials of the court, especially when the opponent is a prisoner.  Especially if you are a prisoner, you will even be kicked several times, and those who don't kneel will be served with a big stick.  ??In fact, let alone the audience.  Even the aristocratic prisoner who was brought up was surprised; this aristocratic prisoner was the original Qinzhou Bo Shengzhao; but at this time, Shengzhao had long lost his original high-spiritedness and was now dejected, like an old man in his dying years.  Failed, all his activities failed, so much so that even the youngest child, who was only a few days old, was taken away.  Although Xiao Hao watched.  However, he did not participate in the personal trial; the trial was conducted by Han Yufeng.  In Xuguo, since it is determined that the country is governed according to law, everything needs to be in accordance with the law.  Xiao Hao couldn't even come forward to ask questions until the trial was over.  Han Yufeng gently raised his hand, picked up the gavel, and made a "pop" sound, attracting everyone's attention.  "Sheng Zhao, as the Minister of Law of Xu State, I will try you on behalf of Xu State's laws. Do you have any objections to the charge of rebellion?" "I'm just getting back my things." Sheng Zhao's attitude was calm.  "When we surrendered, the two parties had already agreed on the terms. We implemented them. And they were implemented without compromise. Why didn't you implement them? As for getting your things back? Can I ask, yours?  Where did the things come from? " "There are a lot of questions. Well, when we surrendered, all the conditions you promised made it difficult for us to survive.  What I got from the Royal Court was that you violently took it from me." This Sheng Zhao is also a talent, and he has already mastered Xu Guo's posture in this moment.  And you have to convince others.  Although I don¡¯t know the exact thing, it is enough to grasp the core.  At this time, Sheng Zhao also had some ideas.  If Xu Guo is speechless if he can refute it, maybe he still has a chance of survival; for this chance of survival, he will fight hard!  "It's a pity that due to reasons such as thought and insight, Sheng Zhao knew one thing but not the other. What he saw was just a superficial appearance, and he did not see the deeper purpose that Xiao Hao and Xu Guo wanted to achieve through this trial.  The deeper purpose is not a fair trial, butIt is to expose the darkness of the past in order to achieve Xiao Hao's political purpose.  "Trap? There are no traps in our treaty." Han Yufeng said in a sonorous tone, "In fact, the agreements signed with you are much easier than ordinary people and ordinary businessmen. If you don't believe it, there are many businessmen from Haizhou on site.  It was a year ago that we started to accept the commercial laws of Haizhou. There are many ordinary Haizhou civilians here. You can also ask the people around you. In front of the whole world, we can¡¯t lie. Come on, you.  Just ask anyone, ask them about their affairs, and then make your own affairs public and discuss it in front of the whole world. " Sheng Zhao felt that something was wrong, but he was about to go to the guillotine at this time, so that's all.  No scruples.  After searching around, he found a big businessman to question (Xu State was prosperous in business, and Sheng Zhao knew many businessmen).  "Earl Shengzhao, we meet again." The businessman was middle-aged, slightly fat, and swayed in front of Shengzhao.  All the conversations between the two were broadcast through the entire audience through magical powers.  "Okay Fang Chengyang, among all the businessmen I know, you are relatively upright." "No need to talk so much nonsense!" Fang Chengyang waved his hands with a bad look on his face, "When you decide to rebel, the two of us will  Standing on the opposite side. Now that Xu Guo is so good to us businessmen, you want to overthrow Xu Guo; from this point of view, you are the enemy of all of us. But for the sake of Xu Guo's reputation, today I will fight against heaven, ancestors, and others.  I swear to my descendants that all my words are true; if there is a lie, all of our Chengyang lineage will be wiped out!" The sonorous and powerful words immediately made all the serious businessmen of Xu Kingdom applaud.  This is a poisonous oath.  But even foreigners looked at Fang Chengyang with respect for this poisonous oath.  In the field of businessmen, integrity, followed by credibility, is the most popular quality.  Sheng Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that there was something he hadn't thought of.  But at this time, I couldn't care about that. After thinking about it for a while, I asked: "As far as I know, the lowest price of scallops sold at the beach is 3 copper plates per pound. Why do we buy scallops for 5 copper plates?" Fang Chengyang's eyes  With ridicule: "Then let me ask, what month is three copper coins? What month is five copper coins?" Sheng Zhao answered without thinking, obviously impressed: "Three copper coins are in April and May, May.  The one with the copper plate is Xia Mo. " "Haha" Fang Chengyang hasn't laughed yet.  The surrounding businessmen laughed, and some of them showed angry expressions while laughing.  Before Fang Chengyang could speak, a businessman rushed up angrily, "You damn nobles don't care about the lives of common people. March to June is the scallop fishing season. At this time, scallops are plentiful and easy to catch! And when it comes  At the end of summer, or even in autumn, scallops disappear in large numbers. Do you have to brave the cold sea water to catch them? The price of scallops rises to 20 copper coins in winter?  ! You nobles never care about the life and death of civilians. You use this method to exploit us. Why are you using this excuse now? " "Kill him!"  Many businessmen were obviously aroused by sad things, and the crowd suddenly became excited!  Even because this place is close to the sea, many civilians came to watch, and everyone roared together.  Fang Chengyang looked at Sheng Zhan with a sneer, not bothering to say a word.  "Quiet, quiet!" Han Yufeng spent a lot of effort to calm down the scene.  Then he looked at Sheng Zhao.  "If you have any questions, just ask them in front of everyone. We won't stop you." "Okay!" Sheng Zhao, who was already a little broken, spoke again without hesitation, "Xiao Hao is enough from me.  He took away 30% of the tax. Is this the case with you? As far as I know, before the Xu Kingdom, the Dali Palace did not even collect taxes from merchants!" "Bah!" The merchant who just rushed up was jealous again.  "Thirty percent? I am also 30%! But in Xuguo, after collecting the 30% tax, the remaining 70% is completely ours, and the country will not levy another copper plate. The most important thing is that it provides a good business environment and even specialized  There are laws to protect the rights of merchants. As for why the Royal Court of Dali does not collect taxes, I really want to slap you in the face! You nobles take and take away from merchants. Many merchants are randomly assigned to be charged because they are too rich.  My house was confiscated. The wealth that I had worked hard for for more than ten years was taken away by a local baron at random. All that was left to me was an empty house. My young child was killed alive.  Damn it!" Then there were some comparison conversations. Gradually, Sheng Zhao finally understood Xiao Hao and Xu Guo's arrangement, and he turned out to be a negative example!  And after comparison, Sheng Zhao found that he was actually a little more mature.There are some things that are waiting for you, such as houses, bases, warehouses, etc. Xiao Hao has not collected taxes from himself on these things.  Moreover, in the process, Xiao Hao clearly proposed a concept derived from the people, and used these four words to answer the lucky mentality of those nobles.  Instead, Xiao Hao took the opportunity to promote Xu Guo's idea of ??"using it for the people."  ¡°Pa¡­¡± Xiao Hao clapped his hands and stood up at this time, immediately attracting the respectful eyes of almost all the businessmen and civilians present.  "Everyone, everyone understands the outcome of this trial. I think the greed, selfishness, disregard for human life, and despicable behavior of the nobles who wantonly trample on the dignity of civilians have been made clear to everyone. So now I declare  , According to the laws of Xu State, 322 people from Sheng Zhao's family were killed! "Kill him! Kill his whole family!" People surged wildly, and Xiao Hao cleverly aroused the resentment of the whole people.  Next, the nobles were put on trial one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.  By judging the nobles, Xiao Hao almost completely uncovered all the sins of the nobles.  Countless heinous behaviors made countless people angry, and some nobles were simply beasts.  "Ling Chi! Cut to pieces with a thousand cuts!" "Yes. Let them taste all the torture! Let them pay for their sins!" People surged crazily, and even Xiao Hao's elite soldiers could not stop the crazy people.  "Everyone, please calm down and listen to me." Xiao Hao has established his prestige. With a simple word and action, the scene was completely calmed down.  Xiao Hao looked at everyone around him with a smile.  "Everyone, there are more than 100,000 of these nobles and bullies. It would be time-consuming and laborious to execute them one by one. After our discussion, I decided to hand these people over to you for trial. Everyone has revenge and complaints. After registration  , you can take one or several prisoners to judge by yourself." "Okay!" People were stunned for a moment.  Then an unprecedented "enthusiasm" broke out.  "I want the baron family in Danqiu County, and I want them all to starve to death!" The businessman who was the most fierce before almost rushed to the registration office that had just been completed.  "Okay. We will check the body at the end. During this process, there will be random checks. If you let the prisoner run away" "If the prisoner runs away, I will send my head to apologize!" "Okay. This is  There are 37 people in the Baron family in Danqiu County. "Go with the soldier next to you." "Thank you." The businessman said and took out a gold ticket, which is a kind of portable paper issued by Xu Guoguo.  money.  "Don't hurt me." The little official in charge of registration was suddenly frightened and sweating profusely. "If I accept your money today, you will go to the execution ground to see me tomorrow. If you really want to thank me, then in the future  Keeping some morals and bottom lines when doing business within Xu Kingdom is my greatest gratitude.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, illegal things will definitely not happen within Xu Kingdom!¡± The conversation between the two people clearly expressed the same meaning;  Xu Guo is not a place where you can mess around casually.  ¡° Then businessmen, civilians, etc. lined up to collect them one by one.  One hundred thousand prisoners were "led away" in one day.  Xiao Hao received part of the information that night. Businessmen and civilians went crazy, and all kinds of cruel things happened one after another.  "Isn't it too much?" Even Lan Hai saw this message.  They all frowned a little.  "It's okay, it's expected. Just think of these nobles as atoning for their past actions. In fact, the nobles we sentenced were all those who rebelled, and those who didn't rebel were not fine. The most taboo thing in politics is  You idiot, our policy has been set for a long time; just because the reality requires that we will temporarily tolerate the nobles, it does not mean that we will really accept the nobles. The entire aristocratic system has long been corrupted, if we accept these corrupt nobles.  The atmosphere will definitely pollute our place. Therefore, the most correct method is to use any effective method to win over the civilian class and establish our prestige." Xiao Hao threw these materials aside.  "Those who didn't rebel are probably trembling." Lan Hai sighed slightly.  There's a bit of a sad feeling about the death of a rabbit or a fox.  "As long as they don't rebel, they just stay there and there's no trouble raising a bunch of idlers." Next to him, the corners of Mo Xinfang's mouth curled up. Xiao Hao was protecting those nobles, but he lost his original social status.  And the source of wealth, how to make these nobles comfortable, many nobles had to dismiss a large number of guards and attendants, etc.  Ten days later, Xiao Hao appeared again. This time, the rebels except the aristocratic bullies were mainly civilians, numbering 400,000.  At this time, many of the people who came to watch were still wearingQi.  Xiao Hao knew at a glance that these guys had been torturing the nobles in various ways in the past ten days. The wisdom of the working people was fully utilized in this punishment, and many nobles had to commit suicide to end their painful lives.  After such an action, Xiao Hao has completely opened the invisible shackles in the hearts of the people, and the spirit of these people is undergoing obvious changes.  They have become more confident and more aggressive, and their waists seem to have straightened up a lot.  There were 400,000 captives in such a huge force that even if they were all pressed together, they would not be able to see the edge.  Among these 400,000 people, many children are still crying; many adults are dejected.  They had also heard about the treatment received by those noble bullies a few days ago, and many of them had even lost hope for the future.  Xiao Hao floated in mid-air, quietly looking down.  Han Yufeng still came forward to preside over the trial.  "Everyone, has the Xu Kingdom ever treated you badly? Give you dignity. Give you land, special legislation to protect you, and even developed commerce has brought you wealth and daily necessities. We only have one-tenth of the tax revenue, which is far away  The taxes are lower than the normal taxes in the past, and there are no more excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. In two-thirds of the places, you have been exempted from taxes this year. In some places, we even opened warehouses to distribute grain.  I would like to ask, has Xuguo ever treated you badly? The only thing it asked for from you was only one-tenth of your food. However, Xuguo has provided you with an excellent living environment and allowed you to live in peace.  All those who join the army are fully paid by the state. Why are you dissatisfied! ! In the entire Dongsheng State, I dare to say that there are businessmen from all over China and even from foreign countries.  . Go and ask, where is there such a place as Xuguo? Why are you still rebelling? Are there any representatives?" "Sir, we were deceived and confused.  Ah, my lord, please forgive me. Wuwu" Suddenly, this sound came, and then countless prisoners reacted.  Suddenly there was a burst of crying.  Four hundred thousand people crying, what a spectacle it was.  "Confused for a moment?" Han Yufeng sneered, "Then, what about the innocent people you killed? They were not confused, but you bastards killed them. Aren't you the ones who did all those horrible things? Could it be that all of these things were done by you?  Is it possible to get rid of evil by being confused? It seems that you are really confused. No matter what the reason is, when you attack your own people, you have given up your conscience and morality; since you have given up.  Don¡¯t expect others to forgive you. I am too lazy to judge you one by one. According to the laws of Xu State, it is considered a mercy not to kill the three and nine tribes of you.¡±  Once again faced the fate of being executed.  It's just that they were taken away in batches and prepared to use their blood to cleanse the rivers and control those rivers that had not been completely controlled by the human race.  The location of the Xu Kingdom is actually very remote. It can almost be said to be the farthest ruling area of ??the human race in the east, so there are still many places here occupied by foreign races, especially the water veins influenced by the dragon clan.  It was just after a series of arrangements by Xiao Hao.  No one will intercede for these 400,000 people anymore.  Everyone felt that these prisoners were seeking death themselves!  Xu Guo not only did not treat them badly.  Instead, it saved them from dire straits; but these guys actually rebelled!  In fact, many of the civilians watching around wanted to come up and kill a few of them themselves.  As the saying goes, justice is in the heart of the people, after this series of public trials in Haizhou.  The reputation of Xiao Hao and Xu Guo suddenly reached its peak.  With such a good opportunity, Xiao Hao did not give up. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Hao announced a series of overviews of Xu Country.  First of all, Xu Guo completely abolished slavery and abolished some cruel and inhuman punishments.  However, these penalties are not completely cancelled, but are temporarily sealed; if cruel criminals appear, these penalties will still be released.  At the same time, Xu Guo completely abolished the bad habit of kneeling.  Secondly, Xiao Hao announced that after the new year, the Xu Kingdom will officially move its capital to Liguang City and officially establish the country.  At that time, the whole world will be invited to gather together for glory.  Third, Xiao Hao broke a bombshell. The Qiuye Wutong Mountain lineage will be completely transferred to the Xu Kingdom and become the national protector sect of the Xu Kingdom; Yang Sheng will be appointed as the first elder of the Qiuye Wutong Mountain.  Qiuye Wutongshan has officially become one of the Baigong sects, and has two masters of the sun and moon shining together!  Fourth, the scope of Qiuye Wutong Mountain¡¯s apprenticeship selection is only limited to the territory of Xu Kingdom.  And after the founding of the country, Qiuye Wutong Mountain will also open its gates, officially open to all unmarried men and women under the age of 15 in the Xu Kingdom (in ancient times, some people were 14 years old.?Children).  Qiuye Wutong Mountain¡¯s first batch of wide-open gates is expected to enroll 500 students.  As soon as the news came out, it exploded!  A school that completely belongs to the Kingdom of the Sun, a school that suddenly rises like the rising sun, and the enlightened founder is still the current leader.  You must know that although many Baigong sects have masters who have gone abroad to shine with the sun and the moon, they are basically a thing of the past; under today's circumstances, it is already remarkable that half of the Baigong sect has masters who shine with the sun and the moon.  In the past few days, the story about the rise of Qiuye Wutong Mountain on the heads of 11 masters of the Sun and the Moon has already spread throughout the Xu Kingdom.  With these actions for several consecutive months, Xu Guo has shaken the entire China.  The new system, the new policy, the sudden appearance of Qiuye Wutong Mountain, and the collapse of the Za family and the Li Zongfa family finally caused a huge wave.  (To be continued)
