So far, the assassination attempts all ended in failure.
But for the northern tribe to be so confident when sending these people in the first place, Emperor Zhou felt that they might have some other schemes.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two prime ministers quickly arranged people to finish this task. After all, an assassination towards a general was a big deal.
What if they succeed?
It would be very bad for them.
After the matter of the assassination was arranged, Emperor Zhou’s attention was on the building plan that they have proposed before. He could see that this project required a lot of manpower and materials.
The materials were not a problem because it mainly required stone.
But the manpower...
"Do you want to transfer all the war prisoner to build the walls?" Emperor Zhou asked as he looked at the two prime minister who had finished making their arrangement for the assassination matters.
"No, not all." Prime Minister Lan shook his head. "The road is still important and we can’t abandon this project."
The road project had started for a long time and many war prisoners were sent to do hard labor building the road. So far, there was already long road connecting several cities in Fei Yang Kingdom and still expanding to the east and the north.
By now, only the areas formerly belong to Shi Long Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom still hadn’t finished the construction.
The others have more or less settled.
"What will you do once the war prisoners have died?" Emperor Zhou asked another question.
Because he knew that the death rate for these war prisoners were really high. They would not last long under high intensity labor and eventually died.
And the walls project was estimated that it would last for a long time, so it would be hard for them to keep these war prisoners alive all the time. Even now, the road project alone had caused many people to die.
Since these people were all people who wanted to destroy Fei Yang Kingdom, they dared to be ruthless.
But once peace had truly came...
Would they use their own people like this?
It was impossible.
"This..." Prime Minister Lan frowned.
He couldn’t possibly propose for them to use the people of Fei Yang Kingdom to use as labor force. Because the labor work was really heavy and if they were not careful, there would be many people who died.
Moreover, the environment might cause these people who were originally healthy to have sequela because of the harsh treatment.
Prime Minister Lan didn’t want to destroy Fei Yang Kingdom’s future.
