Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 378 378. Think about how to kill the creditor before borrowing money
After taking over the entire city, every household hid in their houses, looking at the blood, flesh and corpses on the streets with horror.

Although the bodies had been collected by Mo Hao's men, the bloodstains that were difficult to clean, as well as the places that had been bombarded by bullets and even tank main guns, were obviously not easy to deal with.

The existence of those traces was telling others that the war had begun again, and this time the battlefield was none other than their home.

No one would feel a bit fortunate when they find that their home has become a battlefield.

After all, the "War to End All Wars" had just ended not long ago, and the people of the defeated country knew clearly the horrors that war brought.

Those who had the mobility and the channels wanted to flee the city, but they soon discovered that almost all the main roads were controlled, making it impossible to leave.

After Mo Hao launched a war and forcibly seized control of the entire city, the sun had set, leaving the moon and stars high in the sky.

Only a few places in the city had lights on. The reason for that was that several electricians had been found and were working overtime.

This is a job that Mo Hao's army cannot replace. If you want those soldiers to fire, or even charge into battle, there is no problem, but for jobs that require certain knowledge and technical content, you must hire professionals.

People who have experienced war are as sensitive as rabbits and may even scare themselves to death.

So in order to appease the people, Mo Hao set up autonomous canteens in various places throughout the city.

It was called a canteen, but in fact it was just a shed with a few large pots. The food seized from the homes of nobles and parliamentarians, whether it was meat or eggs, was piled together, added with water and cooked.

This thing can be called a hotpot, or it can be called a variety of other names.

It cannot be said that the food made in this way is very unpalatable, but one thing is certain.

When the food reserves at home are running low and some people have been hungry for several days, a large amount of fragrant food is placed on the open space with a sign saying "food is provided free of charge" next to it.

This is more reassuring than any words.

A full stomach, having satisfied the instinctive need called "eating", gives a sense of security that is stronger than any other action.

Some personnel were deployed at each location, but they were only there to maintain order.

Gradually, after everyone near each location had eaten their fill, the soldiers posted a notice not far away and specifically informed everyone else present that there would be a public trial in the square tomorrow.

Of course, people didn’t really care about the show trial, so the soldier added a second sentence.

After the public trial in the square tomorrow, Commander Mo Hao will treat everyone to a meal.

With this statement, people just had to go.

……

The chaos that would have arisen from the war was resolved by feeding everyone in the city.

Although there were still many people who thought there was a possibility of fishing in troubled waters, and planned to do something under the cover of darkness without lights, they were all caught by the soldiers patrolling at night.

On the other side, after some emergency repairs, the lights in the mayor's office were finally turned on.

The mayor himself had already been taken to prison to accompany the noble senators.

At this time, a large group of people gathered in the office, constantly comparing the data of the intelligence collected. As the amount of data was so large, even Mo Hao was drafted in to help.

"So we have to get all this stuff done?"

Looking at the pile of documents in front of him, which was like a mountain, and the table below began to make a terrible sound, Mo Hao felt that if he wanted to deal with these documents and data, he would have to work all night for several days. Even if he pulled Professor Agumon out of the Heavenly Book World to help.

"Because you are going to hang the nobles and congressmen tomorrow." Dr. Agumon pointed to the pile of documents, acting like a slave who was called to the company on a weekend night and had to work overtime all night to produce a finished manuscript by dawn.

At this moment, I had the idea of ​​evolving directly in my mind and then giving Mo Hao a super flame.

"If you want the city's rule to be stable enough, then I suggest that there should be no mistakes in the evidence, and do not fabricate even if there are omissions."

Public trial and execution according to established laws is the first step in ruling the masses.

Let people know your laws and not touch the absolute taboos in the laws.

To put it more simply, four words can describe it.

Three rules.

"Perhaps I should take out the [Dragon Flag] and turn the city into a directly affiliated city."

Mo Hao had this idea, but the [Dragon Flag] had already merged with the [World of Heavenly Book], and it would be a very troublesome thing to pull up the [Dragon Flag] and move it to another place.

[Dragon Flag] is not very sturdy. If it is left outside at will, there is a risk of it being damaged by the enemy.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to repair. This thing needs to absorb dragon energy whether it is to be advanced or repaired. Mo Hao has no intention of looking for dragon energy to absorb all over the world.

The other people in the office ignored Mo Hao's complaints as they had more tasks to do.

It is not only a statistics of all the grain, but also a clarification of the exact amount of grain stored in each household.

There are even some people whose main job tonight is to cooperate with Zhang Xueqing to re-establish an economic framework for the city.

The economy of the [Leinigman Empire] has collapsed, so it must rebuild an economic framework of its own, otherwise it will be dragged down by the entire empire sooner or later.

"I thought you would prepare all these things in advance to avoid a gap when control is transferred."

Xiyue, who was also asked to help, couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Not only do you not have a corresponding plan, you can't even set up a makeshift team?"

Xiyue was invited into the mayor's office in front of many people to appease other nobles and councillors who did not hoard food, and to prevent those nobles and councillors who had not yet found an excuse to liquidate from having to fight a desperate battle.

As long as we give those guys the illusion that they can survive and that we may have to rely on them to maintain our rule, we can effectively reduce the occurrence of many troubles.

"Isn't it being built now?" Mo Hao shrugged. "At least from now on, you can openly investigate the mysterious history of the Heyan. Other nobles and councilors don't dare to touch you in private."

Mo Hao looked down at the thing handed to him, it was an invitation.

If it was an ordinary invitation, Mo Hao would have ignored it directly, but the signature on the invitation was not from an individual, but from a group.

A chamber of commerce founded by people from Zhifei.

He narrowed his eyes, thinking.

At this time, Zhifei came to him, and it seemed that his financial expenditure had been settled.
