Chapter 2343: Training Medal for the Rebels.
What Li Shen gave Qu Zhiqing was nothing more than the kidney-tonifying medicine he carried with him.
Li Shen takes it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
It can strengthen the body, nourish yin and strengthen yang.
How could he have any of those Three Corpses Brain Pills?
"Your Highness, will Qu Zhiqing not believe it?" Wang Xuance asked at this time.
What King Ji said was so miraculous that it was hard to believe.
Wang Xuance was a well-read person, but he had never heard of a poison that had an antidote that could be taken once a year.
"So what if he doesn't believe it? He doesn't dare to gamble.
As long as there is no solid evidence to prove that what I said is a lie, Qu Zhiqing can only believe that people only have one life. "
Li Shen smiled slightly. He didn't expect Qu Zhiqing to believe him completely, but he just wanted to ask him one question: do you dare to gamble with your life?
If the medicine was given by someone else, he might still dare to take a gamble.
But if this was given by Li Shen, and Qu Zhiqing had witnessed the power of the Ji Wang Mansion, it would not be surprising that the powerful and wealthy Ji Wang Mansion got some strange things.
Li Shen was certain that Qu Zhiping would never dare to gamble with his life.
"Your Highness is right. At least for a short period of time, Qu Zhiqing will behave himself. With him here in Xizhou, Your Highness feels much more at ease."
Wang Xuance nodded in agreement. Indeed, life is only once. As long as Qu Zhiqing knows the current situation, he will not do anything stupid.
"Your Highness, the guards have been assembled." At this time, Xue Rengui walked in.
"Ah~~~~" Li Shen sat up and stretched.
"Let's go, it's time to talk some sense into these rebels."
At this time, the guards consisting of more than a thousand rebels were surrounded by Li Shen's guard camp.
No one had any weapons on them and they were all checked before standing here.
Looking at the armored guards around them, these ordinary rebels felt a little worried that they would be punished later.
Amidst this speculation and fear, Li Shen came before everyone.
A simple platform had been prepared in advance, which was actually made of stools.
Li Shen got a loudspeaker from somewhere to use as a loudspeaker.
Standing on the high platform, Li Shen first glanced at the more than a thousand people.
"See His Highness Prince Ji."
The guards around were the first to salute in unison, startling the guards in the middle.
Then they immediately realized that the young man in front of them was their master, His Royal Highness Prince Ji.
"See His Highness Prince Ji."
"See His Highness Prince Ji."
The uneven sound of salutes rang out.
"Soldiers!" Li Shen picked up the loudspeaker and began to prepare a speech.
"I am the tenth son of the Tian Khan of the Tang Empire, and was granted the title of Ji Wang. The land you stand on belongs to me.
The workshops and warehouses nearby also belong to me, as does the manor you will live in in the future.
Even you... belong to this king."
After Li Shen finished speaking, there was complete silence, which made Li Shen feel a little strange.
In fact, the guards present had already known what Li Shen said, even those who were from Prince Ji's Mansion themselves knew it.
Because they were captives, and in their minds the fate of captives was slavery.
Since they were captured by King Ji, they naturally had to work for him, otherwise they would be killed.
Seeing that no one spoke, Li Shen could only continue shouting:
"You were once rebels. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you will all be sentenced to death."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was finally a reaction and there was a commotion below.
"Silence!" The guards around began to shout until these people quieted down.
"You don't need to worry. What I said is what should be done. However, I am merciful. I know you are also deceived and forced to do this.
Therefore, today I, the king, forgive your previous sins."
"Really?"
“We were actually pardoned.”
There was commotion again and people were talking about it.
Everyone was surprised and ecstatic.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for your grace." Someone shouted immediately.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for your grace." Someone immediately echoed.
Li Shen waved his hand and continued:
"From now on, you will settle down here and become a member of the guard team here. Protecting this place is also protecting your home.
A farm will be built here, and you will be allocated fertile land to grow cotton.
If you have families, you can bring them over.
This king can promise you that when you come here, you will not live in hardship and will not be bullied.
As long as you work hard, I guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing.
Of course, there are also some people who don't want to be guards and want to leave.
Don't worry, I won't force you. You can leave now, and I will even give you money for your journey.
If you choose to stay as a guard, you can receive a monthly salary to support your family."
Li Shen's intention was very simple. If those who were unwilling to leave were allowed to leave, this would eliminate any unsettling factors.
Sure enough, after hearing what Li Shen said, some people began to be tempted. Many of them were not from here, but were captured and forced to become rebels.
They also have wives, children and elderly relatives at home.
"quiet!!"
Zhang Zhiguan roared, quieting the crowd again.
"Although His Royal Highness Prince Ji said that he can let you go, have you ever thought about what you can do after you return?
If you stay here, you can receive a sum of money every month and also have good farmland to cultivate.
Can you make life better for your family after you go back?
It would be better to stay here and bring my family over, where at least I can have enough food and clothing."
Zhang Zhiguan is a shrewd man. This is a great opportunity to show off, so how could he let it go?
In contrast, the brothers Qu Zhixian and Qu Zhiqing did not have such awareness.
Zhang Zhiguan's words worked. Many people thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. The good farmland here had all been occupied by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
They only had places for grazing, and they exchanged livestock for food and other supplies from the Tang Dynasty.
But raising livestock also depends on nature for food. If they encounter disasters, they will still not have enough food or even starve to death.
It is a fact that people starve to death every winter.
Many tribes will abandon their elderly to raise their children.
If a natural disaster occurs, their lives will be even more difficult.
"Well, it's winter now, and even if we want to leave, we have to wait until next year. Let's not think about it for now.
Don't worry, if you want to leave next spring, just tell the three of them and they will never stop you.
This is what the king said.
It is freezing cold now, and the first thing we need to ensure is your food and clothing.
It's hard work for you to inspect the workshops, and it will be even more difficult when it snows heavily in a while.
So I have sent you some cold-weather supplies. No one should be left out, but everyone should get one.
This is the king's reward to you, and also his gift to you."
