By the same logic, the lower one's rank, the poorer the treatment they received. To raise their rank, they had to serve Great Qin and accomplish all manner of things beneficial to Great Qin. Only then could they truly become citizens of Great Qin, rather than lowly commoners.
The Fish Scale people had no objections whatsoever to Zhao Fu's decision. Though they would be second-class lowly commoners, that was still far better than being slaves. Thinking of the miserable fate of slaves, they were already weeping tears of gratitude toward Zhao Fu.
From among the four billion Fish Scale people, Li Si also selected over fifteen hundred peerless beauties to serve as Zhao Fu's consorts, helping the Fish Scale people's fate integrate into Great Qin more quickly.
Zhao Fu himself was only mildly interested in Fish Scale women. Some parts of their bodies were covered in fish scales, which felt rather strange to the touch. However, since it benefited Great Qin, Zhao Fu did not refuse. After all, assimilating four billion Fish Scale people would not be easy.
After this incident, a quarter of the Fish Scale people had fallen here. This was undoubtedly a massive blow to the Fish Scale World, gravely damaging the Fish Scale Clan's vitality and leaving them without their former overbearing, arrogant momentum.
Next came the matter of City Lords. Among the four billion people, quite a few were City Lords, but some of their cities had been conquered, while others had not, as many people believed that the Fish Scale people who had fallen into Great Qin's hands were already dead.
The important thing now was to relocate the cities that had not been conquered. However, that would not be easy, as those cities were scattered throughout every corner of the Fish Scale World.
