Water Margin people

"I just came here, what do you want?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhao Ji and laughed. This guy's frightened expression made it seem like he was going to do something to him.

Zhao Ji trembled and dared not speak.

"I said, why don't you yell?"

Sun Lei walked up to Zhao Ji and asked.

"You...you...I...I..."

Zhao Ji stammered and was speechless.

"What do you mean by 'you'? I think you guys want to die! Damn it, I feed you with good food and drink, but you still raise trouble? Chai Jin, from now on, the meals for these people will be reduced by one third!"

Sun Lei looked at Zhao Ji and said unceremoniously.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chai Jin smiled and said that he had been waiting for such an order for a long time. In his mind, these people should not be fed too much, as they would easily have evil thoughts when they were full.

"You can't... We are also royals, you can't treat us like this!"

A fat man was roaring. Just looking at his fat body you could tell how much he could eat.

"If they make trouble again, I'll continue to reduce it. I'll see how much strength they have."

Sun Lei looked at Chai Jin and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make these people behave themselves!"

Chai Jin said with a smile.

The people from the Zhao family were so scared that they all collapsed on the ground, each with a miserable look on their face. They just felt too bored staying there and wanted to make some noise and go out to take a look, but they didn't expect it to turn out like this. They wouldn't even be able to get enough to eat in the future.

Sun Lei sneered at the people from the Zhao family. These people were still so useless.

"If you really have nothing to do, then do something. For example, Zhao Ji, you have learned calligraphy well. If you can write more, I don't mind granting you a vacation."

Sun Lei gave a big blow and then a sweet date.

"Write!"

Zhao Ji opened his mouth and said, he might not dare to respond if he said anything else, but when it comes to calligraphy, he is now second to none. Who in the world dares to claim to be the best?

"That's right, write more. I only want quality works. Don't try to fool me. Also, you guys should be more honest and stop making trouble. Learn from Zhao Ji. Everyone should have a skill, right? Don't be like a waste!"

Sun Lei left after saying this.

Zhao Ji no longer cared about being afraid at this time. He raised his head with some pride. He was a king of a fallen country and a sinner of the Zhao family, but he was the best among the Zhao family members. Except for being unsuitable to be an emperor, he was also a talented person.

The rest of the Zhao family members frowned and thought about what abilities they had. The Song Dynasty had fallen and they were no longer royal family members, but they couldn't stay in this Mickey Mouse Clubhouse forever. Who wouldn't want to go out for a walk?

"A bunch of idiots!"

Chai Jin looked at the people from the Zhao family and shook his head slightly. The emperor subdued these people with just a few words.

"Your Majesty, are we being too polite to those people?"

Ou Peng asked, he felt that these people from the Zhao family were no longer useful.

"I'm not being polite, but I'm controlling them first and then letting them go when the time is right!"

Sun Lei said that although the world is stable at present, it will take some time for everyone to forget about Zhao Song.

"You can't let them out, either!"

Ou Peng spoke.

"Why not? Are you worried that their contacts will continue to rebel?"

Sun Lei asked with a smile.

"Yes, the world has finally been stabilized, we cannot allow chaos to arise again!"

Ou Peng said that the emperor had only gone out for a while, but the scholars and martial artists had already started to make moves, which meant that there were many people secretly waiting for an opportunity to act.

"What's so scary? Rather than letting those people hide in the dark, it's better to dig them out and get rid of them. I just want to see whether they have more people or my sword is faster!"

Sun Lei said with a smile that letting Zhao Ji and others out also had the potential to be a good idea.

Next, Sun Lei went to the construction site outside the city. The site for the new hospital had been chosen and the workers were starting construction in full swing.

Sun Lei just looked at it from a distance and didn't go near. He didn't understand these things, and if he got near, it would only cause trouble. "Your Majesty!"

Tao Zongwang walked over and saluted.

“This place is well chosen!”

Sun Lei nodded and said that the site was close to a canal and there was a lake next to it, which ensured that patients could come by boat, and both land and water routes were guaranteed to be unobstructed.

"This is what I should do."

Tao Zongwang quickly saluted.

"Your Majesty, there is something I was about to report, but those scholars couldn't hold it anymore and they all pleaded guilty, hoping to be forgiven by Your Majesty!"

Tao Zongwang said.

"Confess? Do they need to confess this crime?"

Sun Lei said, there is solid evidence that these people committed crimes, whether they admit it or not is a foregone conclusion.

"Of course, they don't need to admit it, but they said they are willing to sign a confession and make it public, and will always submit to our Qi State."

Tao Zongwang spoke.

"Including those of the Kong family?"

Sun Lei asked.

"Yes, they are willing to accept the surrender and respect our Qi State as the legitimate state in the world!"

Tao Zongwang replied.

"It really has the spirit of the Kong family. How are they doing recently?"

Sun Lei asked.

"The work is mediocre. These people are weak and can no longer bear the labor of half a year. One person can only do half the work."

Tao Zongwang said that this kind of person was not the worker he wanted, as it would seriously slow down the construction period and increase costs.

"Let's talk about it in a few days."

Sun Lei nodded and said that if that was the case, he could consider another way to punish these literati, but he was not in the mood to deal with it now.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tao Zongwang accepted the order.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to deal with these literati at the Autumn Harvest Ceremony?"

Ou Peng asked, the autumn harvest ceremony will be held in a few days.

"That's right, the Spring Ploughing Ceremony has begun and the Autumn Harvest Ceremony has ended! It can be said to have a beginning and an end!"

Sun Lei said that there is no strict boundary between spring plowing and autumn harvest. The crops planted in spring are harvested in summer, and autumn harvest represents the last harvest of the year.

"Your Majesty, should we let those people prepare during this time?"

Tao Zongwang looked at Sun Lei and asked, since they were going to deal with these literati at the Autumn Harvest Ceremony, they naturally needed their cooperation.

"It's up to you! If you don't understand, discuss it with Chai Jin."

Sun Lei said that he had not figured out what to do yet, so he decided to let his subordinates sort out the rules first and he would make the decision later.

"I understand!"

Tao Zongwang replied.

After dealing with these matters, Sun Lei took his men back to Liangshan.

Sun Lei picked up a newspaper in the imperial study and started reading. He had not had time to read today's newspaper. As for official business, he planned to deal with it tomorrow.

Liangshan City was still bustling with activity. The people did not care about the army leaving, nor did they care about the battle reports from the front. They all gathered around the railway and watched the train spewing white steam.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Steam trains entered the station one after another. Liangshan City had successfully connected the north and the south, with more than a dozen trains entering and leaving every day.

The new things made people curious. The station sign outside the station wrote the train route and time. After a year of trial operation, Qi's railway system officially began operation. In the past, it was used by the military. (End of this chapter)
