Chapter 299
Who knows Gu Junli's thoughts best now is not Su Ruchun but Li Wei.
Yes, this guy is capable. If not, he wouldn't be left alone among so many people to handle things.
He was kept here because he understood Gu Junli's thoughts best and could handle these matters well.
Wangcheng and Ancheng are their foundation and the two most prosperous cities.
If a fight really breaks out, if it really comes to the point where the two armies intersect, then Wangcheng and Ancheng are the best choices, both in terms of scale and defense.
Therefore, they need more people to move there to develop the two cities and make them stronger.
Even if you don’t choose these two cities, you should still choose neighboring cities that can develop in a large area.
The place where they came to suppress the bandits is a bit far away. What does it mean to be out of reach? This situation is about the same.
Although they have done several major things here and have won the hearts of the people here, they can only be used for daily management, but they are not a back-up in emergencies.
Therefore, these cities must be taken over and managed by trusted people, but this place still cannot become the focus.
Therefore, his current task is to deceive as many people as possible... No, it should be said to be an arrangement.
Arrange as many surrounding people as possible to leave here voluntarily and go to Wangcheng and Ancheng.
Of course, they can also stay. They have already dealt with the corrupt officials here, so there is no big problem if they stay.
However, how to grasp the balance between the two? Let both parties benefit. This is a difficult point.
Therefore, what Li Wei is doing now is to let everyone choose. He constantly promotes the benefits of the royal city. In fact, he wants everyone to be tempted to move.
And this method is really effective. During this time, tens of thousands of people have gone to the royal city.
Come to think of it, the two cities should be very lively now.
He was absolutely right. Thanks to his and Gu Junli's efforts, many people did come here because of the reputation.
Moreover, we encountered no difficulties at all on the journey this time because we were escorted by the army.
Groups of people came from different cities, some of them were homeless, and some of them just sold their land and houses and came here directly.
This situation happened every day. Seeing more and more people, Su Ruchun had to put aside her thoughts on making clothes and help arrange and manage it again.
Although there have been examples before and officials just followed them, some key matters still need to be reported.
However, during this period, Gu Junli was away and Su Dashan was also training troops, so the person who could finally make the final decision on these matters was Su Ruchun.
No one thought that the princess had such great power, which is why the people in the whole city were in awe of Su Ruchun.
Sometimes a woman's status is determined by her man.
Although Su Ruchun is pregnant, she is in good health, and she does not do everything herself, but makes her own decisions on key matters.
So my health was not affected, and things were handled in an orderly manner, but it cost a lot of money.
But this also means greater business opportunities. The more people there are, the easier it is to do business.
In recent times, not only the sale of salt has been getting better and better, but the sale of tea and sugar has also been booming.
People outside don't even know who sells the tea and sugar.
Outside, Su Ruchun found two business families and asked them to manage it on their behalf.
These two families never reveal who their real boss is, so there are more and more legends about her.
The more mysterious she is, the more curious everyone becomes, and they try to show her all kinds of weird abilities.
Some people say that she is the only daughter of a big family, and these secret recipes are left behind by the family.
Others said that she came from overseas and brought with her some weird prescriptions. Eating these foods must be bad for your health.
Anyway, everything is said, some people believe it, some people don't believe it, but it is undeniable that business is getting better and better.
Therefore, they are really not short of money and have enough confidence to resettle the people.
As the two cities grew bigger and bigger, Su Ruchun's business grew bigger and bigger, and she also had other plans.
Recently, Gu Junli's people have found an iron ore and are currently mining it. When the iron ore is successfully mined, she will have to do something more important.
Nowadays, the weapons they use are all iron weapons, but whether they are swords or spears, they are not strong and sharp enough.
That's because iron-making technology is limited. If steel can be made, then there will be fewer casualties on their side in future battles.
Although it was a tragic thing for either side to suffer casualties during the battle, she wanted to win, so she had to find ways to make her own people less injured.
Su Ruchun felt a headache just thinking about it, but she was more worried about Gu Junli.
He was just responsible for the arrangements at the back, and he was already so tired. Gu Junli must have spent more time on the front.
Moreover, he also needs to distinguish who can be used and who must be eradicated. This decision-making process is the most difficult.
Yes, Su Ruchun was right to worry, and the decision Gu Junli had to face was difficult.
Sometimes, some people sincerely surrender and their fighting power is very strong, but they have committed human lives.
Under such circumstances, even if Gu Junli wanted to let them stay, he would not do so.
If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price. He is willing to choose timid soldiers and become brave through training.
Never be ruthless and betray your subordinates at any time.
So this time, not a single one of the hundreds of people in the entire village was left alive.
Gu Junli had previously received praise from the public, and he relied on tolerance.
But this time, he was once again supported by the people, relying on his crispness and clear grudges.
Therefore, Gu Junli spent a month to destroy many cottages, resettle tens of thousands of people, and also killed many bandits.
After this circle, several surrounding cities were included in the pocket, and all became stable.
After that, Gu Junli did not bring back all the soldiers and horses, but asked each of the disciples of the Shenjiang Sect to lead a part of the soldiers to guard several cities.
From then on, these five cities were also their territory.
Anyone who wants to act wild needs to first assess whether he is an opponent.
When the news spread, all forces were surprised.
They had no idea that the third prince would act so neatly and so boldly.
They can only occupy one or two cities at most, but the third prince alone now occupies eight or nine cities, which can be said to occupy most of the northern area.
Although it is not a large territory, under the training of the third prince, these soldiers will become the most powerful.
When they fight again, they are no match for them.
Thinking about it this way, the third prince turned out to be the biggest dark horse, and he broke through with an unstoppable attitude.
