One of the ancient emotions of human beings is fear.
The highest punishment for those who destroy the order is the death penalty.
Chengdu City is preparing to publicly trial Qiao and others.
Public trial has become synonymous with some kind of Eastern evil in the depiction of some people. It seems that such cruel behavior will only occur in some places of ignorance and non-freedom. But in fact, the West, which claims to be free and cooked, is actually a loyal user of public trial.
Public trial is actually "punishment in public."
Of course, most of these executions are direct executions.
Hanging is a basic common form, and in the mouths of many Western educational bricks and commentators, hanging seems to be more civilized, less bloody, and less violent than beheading...
Regardless of whether you die, you can still see whether the hanging and beheading are humane or gentle death. Just say that there are beheadings in China, five horses dismember the corpse, and the West also have executions with broken belly, and some have cut off their heads and limbs and hung them all over the castle.
For example, this is what corrupt people do when they try to fight for the jet fighters who are trying to fight for freedom.
By the way, at that time, the corrupt people even cut the genitals of Brother Su who said they wanted to be free and hung them on the bridge as wind chimes...
I don’t know if those who went to the corrupt country in later generations, traveled, studied, or other purposes, and then went to the bridge and expressed their sense of freedom to the bridge. Then they took photos with the bridge, would they think that there was a certain Su Ge’s genitals swaying beside him?
So in fact, there is no question of whether civilized or uncivilized society or national violence in feudal society or national violence, and they only sit in different positions on their own butts.
Just like Chengdu's current public trial of Qiao's family, perhaps if the position is on the Qiao family or the children of the gentry, they will naturally say that Xu Shu and others are not sympathetic to the people, they are bloody and cruel, have no human feelings, and they mutter and show contempt, but they are just saying that they dare not do anything.
Outside the Chengdu City, on the side of Cheguan City, near the water inspection, a simple wooden and bamboo structure platform was built.
Sichuan and Sichuan have a lot of bamboo and wood, and it is very convenient to collect, so in one day, a platform about two or three stories high was built. Below the platform, there were inspectors and soldiers maintaining order.
People are always full of enthusiasm and curiosity about public trials. As long as the people in the city are really too busy to leave, they will come and squeeze the open space in front of the platform and the surrounding streets tightly. There are even some children chasing and fighting, and no adult would say anything that is too bloody for children to watch.
The public trial began near noon.
The inspector first announced the list of people involved in the case within the Qiao clan and some related situation statements, which quickly aroused the empathy of ordinary people.
So when the people of the Qiao family were escorted to the other people, there were roars and scoldings from the people on both sides of the road and under the high platforms, which made the children of the gentry standing or sitting far away feel a little scared, their faces turned pale, and the eyes of the ordinary people around them became a little frightened.
Amid the sound of shouting like surging rivers, a Qiao clan member headed by Qiao Ming was taken out for public trial.
On the high platform, loud officials were reading their crimes, focusing on the brutal acts of them organizing, planning and targeting, carrying out a series of brutal acts of beating, killing, poisoning, and even destroying the family.
This kind of crime is different from that of ordinary people.
Most ordinary people commit crimes without plans and no plans. The Qiao clan is obviously not like this. They have minions, division of labor, and planning, which is very terrifying. After all, no one wants a large group of people in a family who are planning to harm people every day...
And he was killed and had to issue a letter of understanding.
Therefore, the public trial of Qiao easily aroused the fear and hatred of ordinary people for it. The masks of these Qiao clans who were originally "good gentry" were pulled down, and the underwear of "Taoshi" were also pulled off.
Not to mention that most ordinary people in Chengdu have not received any "benefits" from Qiao, even some people remembered some benefits in Qiao's early years, but they learned that in order to make money and sell talismans, Qiao's current state not only killed Zhang Liehuo, but also some farmers were also beaten and killed, and their families were destroyed. They became angry, and the people turned their fear of being hurt into endless hatred for Qiao and others.
The aroused hatred erupted, and the voices of shouting to kill him came one after another.
Qiao Ming's face was already as rusty as earth.
He was speechless and his whole body was trembling.
He had previously thought that the people in the audience were leeks, cutting one after another, and cutting them whenever they wanted, but when he saw these leeks gritting their teeth, waving their arms, and staring at him, as if they would rush up to tear him apart the next moment, he was scared.
Only then did he realize that these "leeks", these "leeks" that he originally despised, ignored, and even trampled on, would one day take his life...
Some relatives of the victims who were invited in advance came to the stage to accuse him. When they were indignant, they cried and scolded him. Some rushed forward and wrestled and bitten, which required several times to pull the victims from the Qiao family's children.
The people under the high platform became more and more angry when they heard the accusation of these victims, and then suddenly someone shouted: "Kill him!"
Immediately, the people in the audience were stunned for a moment, and soon many people shouted together, and the louder and louder they became, and they became more and more neat.
『Kill him!』
『Kill him!』
『…』
The people below shouted, as if the landslides and the earth was broken.
Some of the Qiao clans who were taken to the high platform were limp, some were crying, and some were already incontinent...
On the side of the platform, Ma Heng and Ma Zhong looked at each other, then Ma Heng reached out to signal, and Ma Zhong bowed his hand and took a few steps forward and stood at the edge of the platform.
The people in the audience saw Ma Zhong standing at the edge and gradually stopped shouting.
Ma Zhong opened a volume of the text and pronounced a loud verdict: "Under the command of General of the Cavalry, Xu, the governor of Yizhou, the verdict on Qiao and others as follows..."
The drum of Killing started to beat, and then the inspector and the soldiers shouted loudly three times in unison. The surrounding area suddenly became quiet and Ma Zhong's voice echoed.
"Jiao Ziming, beheaded immediately and hang his head to show his public!"
"The Qiao Ziyue, beheaded immediately and hang his head to show the public!"
"Qiao Family..."
Ma Zhong read the trial one by one.
Fifteen Qiao family children led by Qiao Ming, and nearly 60 people, Qiao family members were sentenced to death for their use, or the minions in the family, and more than 200 people were involved in this case and then received different punishments, including seizure of family property, punishing hard labor, and removing school registration, issuing officials, and the descendants within three generations are not allowed to take responsibility.
It can be said that the Qiao clan has declined as a whole since then. Even if he was not beheaded or arrested for labor, some ordinary Qiao clans who were just sheltering, filthy, providing criminal convenience, etc., had almost no chance of resurrection.
As long as the power of the cavalry is in Sichuan and Shu for one day, at least there will be no chance for the Qiao clan within three generations.
The fall of Qiao family was like a tall building collapsed.
Dust all over the ground.
After the dust fell a little, it seemed that someone discovered that something was wrong with this tall building...
If Qiao family has tall buildings, can it be that other wealthy families of the gentry don’t have tall buildings?
Among the Han Dynasty, the gentry in many places not only climbed in the upper class career, but also the landlords and merchants in the local area, holding personal connections, wealth resources, and even in some remote areas, they were like local emperors, and they should not be offended.
After the public trial, the news gradually spread and some people gathered together in groups of three or three.
Especially in the Nanzhong area.
Nanzhong Jianning.
At the public trial meeting near Chengdu, people were rolling in, which made the atmosphere in Nanzhong suddenly tense. Not only did people from various Dong villages start to gather, but some gentry began to "move" and move their property, property, family and population into their own villages to hide.
Jianning was originally a big county, and it was the territory of the ancient kingdom of the "Southern Barbarians" and it gradually declined after Hanwu. Especially near Dianchi Lake, these large families that had been left since the Western Han Dynasty inevitably gathered together and discussed with each other.
Cuan Xi is old and basically it is not often said that people around him will still respect Cuan Xi's attitude. As a new generation, Cuan Li became a family member of the salt.
"This... this Xu Jun is too unruly..." A younger squire said, his eyes swept across Cuan Li's face, "I didn't even say hello, and I started...
"May I ask if you have a surname Gao?" Cuan Li glanced at the person who was talking.
"Uh, here, here... the last name..." The younger squire was a little stunned. Is this Cuan Li having amnesia? When I met before, Cuan Li called her own name. Why did he forget it after just one trip?
Zhu Ziquan, who was standing beside him, sneered. He understood what Cuan Li meant. "Brother Cuan, I said that it would be better to follow the trend in the current situation... In this day, the movement would be thunderous, and even those who were traveling outside did not fall..."
The layman only knows that Xu Shu took the lead and killed many people in the Qiao family, but the insiders have seen many tricks. Nowadays, it is not as convenient as later generations to catch a person. Especially for those with complex terrain like Sichuan and Shu, with trees and trenches, if the news is leaked, then drill into the ravine. Regardless of whether the person who drills the ravine can survive smoothly, it will be difficult to catch those who want to capture it.
Like Xu Shu dealing with Qiao, it seems that there is no movement if he doesn't do anything. Once he wants to do something, he can immediately catch everything. Even Qiao's son who is not at home can be arrested. This not only reflects the strength of Xu Shu's subordinates, but also reflects a very important information...
Cuan Li nodded, then turned his neck uncomfortable, causing some slight giggles on his neck. After hearing this news, he really felt that someone was staring at the back of his head at all times, and he always felt that his neck was chilling.
"Did you... find anything?" Cuan Li asked Zhu Quandao.
Zhu Quan looked at Cuan Li, then smiled bitterly with a slightly depressed expression, and shook his head.
Cuan Li suddenly felt a little tooth pain and his neck became more and more uncomfortable. He couldn't help but reach out and groped the back of his neck, rubbing it twice, as if dispelling the coolness emitted by the invisible blade on the back of his neck.
What Cuan Li is sure of is that whether it is on his own side, Zhu Quan, or the gentry who was just talking stupidly, there must be some Xu Shu's eyeliner...
With the penetration and guidance of the eyeliner, Xu Shu said that when he wanted to do it, he could easily pinch Qiao's whole hand in hand!
But the problem is that Cuan Li can guess, but he can't tell who are Xu Shu's eyeliner...
This is the most terrifying place.
I don’t know where the enemy is hiding, so I can’t just stand behind me and put it on my neck with a knife. In this case, why are you talking about resistance?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! If there is any chicken Qiao family, these monkeys in Nanzhong were indeed scared.
Even though he knew that Xu Shu might have used Qiao to scare him, he could guarantee that Xu Shu would not really take action?
Or can Xu Shu be able to defend himself once he takes action?
A headache!
'Then let's discuss it well!' Cuan Li waved his hand helplessly, 'Let's talk about Zhuge's strategy of "withdrawing villages and establishing villages"...'
If you can't prevent it or stop it, you have to follow it.
Before leaving Nanzhong, Zhuge Liang summoned these people to publicize the transformation plan for Nanzhong, which is called "elimination of villages and establishment of townships."
According to Zhuge Liang's meaning, it is to gather the scattered villages in Nanzhong to form larger counties and towns, and then further promote the economic and cultural development of these new counties and towns.
Nanzhong has a lot of resources, but the development level is very low.
The villages are far apart from each other, and there is little concept of division of labor and cooperation. There are very few products, and many of the artifacts come from procurement, and the economic benefits are basically equal to zero. Of course, the economic benefits here are zero, which is for Xu Shu, the tax collector.
The reason why these villages have existed for so many years is of course of great benefit to the leaders of the village. The people in the village are ignorant, and all the exchanges of goods or other things are controlled by the leaders of the village. Once they come into contact with the outside world, the interests of the leaders of the village will inevitably be reduced.
Therefore, when Zhuge Liang previously suggested "withdrawing villages and establishing villages" and re-planning the roads so that more people could benefit from the newly built roads, these Nanzhong village leaders and local gentry families were naturally hesitant.
At that time, Zhuge Liang did not forcefully implement it, but just said that he would ask Cuan Li and others to think about it carefully, and then Zhuge Liang left later.
But now when I think about it, isn’t the outcome of the Qiao clan the best warning?
What have the people of the Qiao clan done?
If you lift up the skin of the five gods, is there any essential difference between everything and what the great squire and the actions of the Nanzhong gentry?
Perhaps Qiao is more greedy and cruel, but his crimes are actually similar.
Qiao took advantage of the people's ignorance and information deviations to deceive the people into profiting from it. Who dared to pat the chest and say that everything he did was decent?
Look at the time of the public trial in Chengdu, those docile leeks and cowardly people who were usually gentle suddenly became wild animals that dared to bite the flesh and blood of the Qiao clan under the public. These wealthy families in the south couldn't help but feel a little scared, if...
Just to be honest if...
Then what should I do?
It is impossible to dry out if you are resistant to the urgency. The neck becomes cold and the scalp becomes numb.
So I can only think about it carefully and discuss how to build one or two townships and counties according to local conditions, and then look at the specific situation of subsequent development.
According to the suggestions left by Zhuge Liang, Nanzhong established agriculture and animal industries as key basic industries, and then determined economic industries based on the natural environment around townships and counties.
Because Nanzhong is an important hub area between Sichuan and Shu and Jiaozhi, it can be predicted that if the caravan is opened and the roads are smooth, a large number of Sichuan and Yunnan horses will be needed for transportation and transportation. Therefore, in addition to ensuring the daily grain output of the population, animal husbandry is also an important industry that must be developed in Nanzhong and can benefit from it.
In the past, the villages were small, and even if there were any outputs, they were basically repeated. For example, when there was a lot of food, everyone had a lot of food and could not sell it for the price. Now if they were gathered together, there would naturally be greater space and more possibility of division of labor and cooperation.
As for other economic industries, they can be different depending on the specific location. If there is a mine, they can start mines. If there is no mine, they can also make bamboo paper and weave bamboo baskets. Anyway, as long as the road is connected and there are more caravans, why can't you make money?
In fact, Zhuge Liang's plan to "withdraw a village and establish a village" was very good, but Cuan Li and others subconsciously wanted more benefits at the time, so they did not agree immediately. Now after the Qiao incident, Cuan Li and others looked back at this suggestion, which seemed not so unacceptable.
"Or what, just follow this path...try it?" Zhu Quan said.
Cuan Li turned to look at Meng Huo, "What do you think?"
Meng Huoba smacked his lips, "I have no objection, no matter what you say, it's all!"
Cuan Li sighed and clapped his hands, "Then let's do it first. Each family will take out two villages, with a number of no less than five hundred people. According to Zhuge's previous planning county and township sites, he will cooperate with the soldiers of the envoy and the general to establish township counties!"
