Pei Xiao employed iron-fisted tactics to stabilize Xirong, raiding the homes and imprisoning all of the former royal family and nobility.
For those commoners who reported crimes, anyone found to have blood on their hands was to be beheaded without hesitation. He also established a Protectorate in Xirong, effectively turning it into a province of Dayu.
The common people only wanted to live in peace and prosperity. As for whether the one in power was surnamed Jiang, Yun, or perhaps Pei in the future, they did not care. Regardless, everyone would be a citizen of Dayu from now on. Dayu’s policies for Xirong were the same as those for its original territories; as long as they were well-fed, clothed, and able to earn silver, that was enough.
