After Feng Changqing showed Zhao Ziliang the good news, Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied and sent someone to send it over.

A few days later, the leaders of the five crossbow lost Bibi rushed to Broken Leaf City with their own men and horses, after learning that Zhao Ziliang had taken 2,000 men and horses to annihilate the 3,000 men and horses of the invading Daxi Department a few days ago, they were all surprised, they didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to be able to wipe out the other party on the way to attack, this kind of active attack, the Tang army had never done this before.

Zhao Ziliang left them to rest in Broken Leaf City for one night, said some kind words, gave some carriage and horse fares and grain and grass, and sent away the leader of the five crossbows and the men and horses they brought.

More than 500 casualties were suffered in this battle, and after some diagnosis and treatment, half of the wounded soldiers could stay and continue to serve in the army after they recovered from their injuries, while the other half would be disabled even after their injuries were healed and could only be disqualified from the military and return to their hometowns.

After the burial of the fallen soldiers, 500 people will be transferred from the reserve battalion to supplement the main force, and the reserve battalion must re-recruit 500 people for training, according to Zhao Ziliang's requirements, the reserve battalion must always remain full and be able to replenish the main force at any time.

Governor's Palace.

Liu Shan reported to Zhao Ziliang on the work of the Administrative Division: "There is one more thing in ・・・・・・, that is, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has escorted some prisoners and their families to our side, and there are also some prisoners, there are always more than 600 men, women and children, let our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion resettle them, and what work to assign to them is up to us to decide!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Liu Dan said: "General, according to the idea of the lower officials, these prisoners are all guilty, they and their families were sent by the imperial court to join the army, of course, with their age and physical condition, it is definitely not possible to let them join the army to fight and kill the enemy." They can only be allowed to go to the tuntian and the camp to cultivate, and let their families go to the manufacturing place to spin and weave cloth, and as for their dwellings, they are not here to be guests, but in the tuntian, camp and weaving place, let them build their own houses, and as long as they do not escape, they can be allowed to move, and if there is an escape, once they are caught, they will be killed and made an example."

Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and shook his head: "These prisoners don't know what they have committed to be sent so far. We can't generalize about these prisoners, we have to see what they have committed, so go down and find out what they are all sent here for, and then report it to me."

Liu Shan saw that Zhao Ziliang might have other ideas, so he agreed: "No! ”

Two days later, Liu Shan came to see Zhao Ziliang again. said: "General, the day before yesterday, you asked the subordinate to find out what the prisoners and prisoners were assigned for, and the subordinate has already figured it out, and it is all recorded here." Please take a look! ”

Zhao Ziliang took the few pages of the dossier handed over by Liu Dan, and pressed his hand on Liu Dan: "You sit down first, I'll take a look!" ”

"General Xie!"

Wang Zhiyun sent two cups of tea on a tray and put one cup on the coffee table next to Liu Dan: "Lord Liu, please use tea!" ”

Liu Shan looked at Wang Zhiyun and smiled: "Okay." Thank you, Miss Zhiyun! ”

After Wang Zhiyun put another cup of tea beside Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang shouted: "That, Zhiyun." It's already noon, and the official wants to leave Lord Liu to talk about official business, and let your mother add two more dishes! ”

Wang Zhiyun turned her head to look at Liu Dan, and said with a thousand blessings: "No!" ”

After Wang Zhiyun left, Liu Shan joked: "General, this girl is getting more and more smart, I think it's good to be a concubine for the general, doesn't the general have any ideas?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said casually while reading the file: "The mother and daughter of the family work here in this general, I don't have the right to let the family be my concubine, besides, we people who have to pin their heads to the waistband of their pants at any time and work hard, people may not be relieved to promise my daughter to me!" Besides, the girl is still young, and her body hasn't grown up yet! Let's not talk about this, after I finish reading, let's talk in detail about how to settle these prisoners and prisoners! ”

"Good, good! I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later" Liu Shan said with a smile on his face that I understand, but he thought in his heart, I didn't expect the general to have a habit of wife and concubine.

After a cup of tea, Zhao Ziliang finished reading the dossier and said to Liu Dan: "First of all, let's talk about these prisoners, fifty percent of these prisoners are because of the failure of the officialdom struggle and were randomly assigned by the victors to find a crime, for these people, General Ben means to arrange a mental work for them to do, this general wants to set up three schools in Broken Leaf City, one for children between the ages of six and ten to study, one for the children between the ages of ten and sixteen to study, and finally for young students over the age of sixteen to study, The gentlemen of these three schools will select the good literary talents from among these prisoners, and arrange for them to go to each street in each city to be the chief of the city, or to the villages outside the city that belong to the herdsmen's residence under the jurisdiction of our Governor's Office to be the head and chief of the village, and if they do well, they can be considered to be promoted and their salaries increased.

Twenty percent of the convicts offended the officials because they didn't know how to meet and pat the horse, and they were assigned, and for these people, they were assigned some real positions, since these people don't know how to meet and pat the horse, then let them do something practical, so that they will not bury their talents, and let them really do something.

The other 30 percent of the convicts have really committed crimes, such as killing their wives, instructing their families to kill people, colluding with subordinates' wives and concubines to be reported, embezzlement, bribery, bribery, and other messy crimes, then let them go to work in the official fields of road construction, tuntian, and barracks, and let them undergo labor reform.

For these prisoners who have no official position, if they are framed and wronged, they should find some easy work to do, and if they really commit crimes, then let them farm and work as coolies. If there are special skills among the prisoners, they can be arranged as appropriate, for example, this guy used to be a carpenter, and he can be arranged to do carpenter work, and this is a blacksmith, so he can go to Fu Kun to forge and repair swords, bows and crossbows, and this former armor supervisor made bows and arrows, and he can be arranged to go to the bow and arrow factory to make bows and arrows, etc. Also, young and strong people who have no special skills are sent to the barracks for training.

All in all, each prisoner cannot be generalized, and it should be arranged on a case-by-case basis. In addition, for the families of the prisoners, are only the prisoners accompanied by the family members? ”

Liu Shan nodded and said, "Yes, other ordinary prisoners are not qualified to take prisoners, right?" ”

"Well, arrange for the female family members to spin and weave, milk goats, mare's milk, and shear sheep, and send the children to the school, the children are innocent, and the crimes of adults cannot be implicated in the children, and the expenses for the children's education will be solved by the Governor's Office! If you have a family, try to let them live together as a family, and even if they commit a crime, we can't stop them from enjoying the pleasures of humanity."

Liu Dan sighed when he heard this: "The general is benevolent and righteous, and the subordinate officials are so impressed that they throw themselves to the ground!" ”

Next, the two had a detailed discussion on this matter, and discussed a set of specific methods to arrange these prisoners and their families.

During the meal, Zhao Ziliang said while eating: "By the way, Lord Liu, in the name of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, I sent an official letter to the Metropolitan Protectorate, saying that if the prisoners, prisoners and their families are sent from the mainland, if other military towns do not want it, our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can accept and resettle."

Although Liu Shan was born as a champion and is very talented in writing, he can't keep up with Zhao Ziliang's leapfrog thinking, and other military formations don't want these prisoners, because it's too troublesome, not only do they have to send people to watch them, they can't let them escape, but they also have to give them food and drink, in short, it's very troublesome. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziliang's attitude towards these prisoners is as good as possible.

Liu Shan was quite surprised that Zhao Ziliang had this attitude, and he hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "General, how can this?" The more prisoners there are, the heavier our burden becomes, and we have to worry that they will run away or rebel at any time, and we need to send someone to watch them day and night! ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled and waved his hand: "What burden do we have?" Where can they flee when they get here? Flee back or be captured, flee abroad, they are not afraid of being caught by aliens and sold as slaves? As for sending people to watch them, there is no need for this general, they can't escape, and they can only be exonerated if they honestly complete the time limit for serving their sentences. During this period of time, we can also let them do things to make money, you see that the barbarians in this area always rebel after submission, and then rebel after rebellion, this is the reason for not being educated, let these barbarian children read more, learn more about the words of the saints, let them understand the way of loyalty to the king, let those talented people among the criminals go to be gentlemen, to educate the children of those barbarians, they understand the principles of etiquette, and they will not easily rebel when they grow up! In addition, there are those prisoners, as long as they live well here, as long as they have enough food and clothing here, when their sentence is up in the future, even if they are driven away, they may not be willing to leave, you see we are full of land and pasture, we need more Han people to come over to cultivate and graze, only when there are more Han people, we can really gain a foothold here and rule here! ”

Liu Shan was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately put down his chopsticks and got up and saluted respectfully: "Listening to the general's words, Xiaguan suddenly opened, such a simple truth, Xiaguan never thought of it!" ”

Wang Can and others were seriously warned for shielding Duan Xiushi for disobeying military orders and beating officials, and were given 30 military sticks, which cost Wang Can half his life, and the other team leaders and team members of the scout battalion, all those who participated in this matter, were more or less punished, either locked up or beaten with military sticks, and the scout camp was almost paralyzed for a while.
