The First Emperor was thirty years old and Ying Zheng was forty-two years old.
In the past two years, in addition to maintaining mutual trade, there has been no major war in the Qin Dynasty. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Thanks to the new farming methods of the nobles that the commoners have secretly learned, food income has increased every year and the national treasury is full.
One thing that is strange about the common people is that they do not believe in the farming methods promoted by the government, saying that they are used by the nobles themselves, and each of them is more active in learning it than anyone else.
The South Vietnamese and the Xiongnu had food purchased from each other, so they naturally did not dare to invade the Qin Dynasty casually. There were several small-scale invasions along the way, but they were quickly monitored by the Eagle and Dog Lieutenants, who attacked them head-on and were directly annihilated.
The Xiongnu immediately sent a mission to explain that those people acted spontaneously and were absolutely not involved in friendly exchanges between the two countries.
In the past two years, Ying Zheng mainly did four things: cars on the same track, books on the same text, unified weights and measures, and unified currency.
Cars on the same track: Because the original regulations of different countries are different, the tracks are easy to be blocked in some places, so the width of the tracks is simply made to be six feet to ensure that vehicles can travel unimpeded on the tracks.
The same text in the book: The six countries' scripts and different accents seriously hindered unified cultural exchanges. Ying Zheng agreed with Li Si's suggestion and directly promulgated a simplified script as the official document. It was limited to two years to learn. From now on, all official documents of Da Qin must use the new official script.
Of course, this regulation was dissatisfied by the Confucian scholars from the six countries. They protested collectively outside the Xianyang Palace. There were more than 400 Confucian scholars in total, which was very impressive. Then they were sent by Ying Zheng to dig coal. They were all in good order.
Prince Ying Fusu offended the First Emperor by admonishing him, so he ordered him to leave Xianyang and serve as a supervisor of the army commanded by Prince Ben of Shangjun.
Then, the Qin Dynasty searched all over the world for books. As long as they were written in the Six Kingdoms scripts, they were first translated into Qin script by Confucian scholars, and then all the originals were burned.
This move wiped out the whole family. Of course, many righteous people appeared in the process, but they could not resist the people's support and did not cause any waves. After two years of stability, who would still remember the six countries where the nobles were aloof?
Unifying weights and measures and unifying currency will facilitate industrial and commercial exchanges and reduce obstacles to industrial development.
In just two years, the elders of the Six Nations discovered in despair that their control over their original territory was almost to the limit. They even doubted that even if Ying Zheng's son died, they would not have the ability to rebel.
Ying Zheng, doesn’t he take pills every day? Why isn’t he dead?
...
Surabaya Pavilion, twenty miles away.
"Master, please spare my baby, she is only eight years old! Please!"
"Go away, your child dares to step on my property. It is your family's honor that I forgive her and accept her as a maid! This is one hundred copper coins, the money to buy a child, take the money and get out!"
"Small? After two years, won't they grow old? Master likes to raise them from childhood to adulthood!" Li Zheng, who was twenty years old, was very arrogant.
In this three-acre land, the villagers cannot leave without a pass certificate. He is God.
"Master, she's only that old!" Liu Liang cried and begged.
Satomasa gave him a cold look: "Throw him out if you are so shameless!"
Then two strong men came out. This was also the basis of his arrogance. There were some farmers for twenty miles, and they would behave after just a few scares. These mud-legged people also had old men and dear men at home, how could they dare to fight him.
"Bang~" Liu Liang was beaten directly, then thrown out the door and rolled all over in mud...
In the afternoon, Liu Liang, with a bruised nose and swollen face, stood by the river with red eyes.
He has no shame to go back now. If his mother and husband know about this, he doesn't know how to blame himself.
"Pa!" Liu Liang slapped himself hard.
Why didn't he take good care of his daughter? Then there was anger. If there were no old people at home, he would have wanted to rush in with a knife and fight for his life. Even if he died, he would not be ashamed of his daughter.
"唳~" There was an eagle whistle, and a huge eagle flew across the sky. Liu Liang knew that it was an important letter from the inn.
"That's right!" Liu Liang suddenly remembered that Daqin also had a reporting system.
Some time ago, a sergeant summoned them and told them that if anyone discovers that someone has committed a crime, they can directly summon the doves or eagles in the sky and write a report letter.
No
It doesn't matter if you are literate, you can also slap yourself in the face nine times in front of a pigeon or an eagle and wait for the messenger to communicate. Soon the guards of the Black Ice Platform who monitor the world will come to investigate. If the report is true, there will be rewards, and those with the greatest credit will be rewarded.
Can be given a title.
Of course, if the report is false, you will have to serve hard labor for a minimum of two years.
"Made! It's done!" Thinking of the idea, Liu Liang ran home, ignoring the greetings from his family, and took a bag of wheat to the route that the messenger must pass every day.
Then he found a remote place, scattered wheat all over the ground, formed a circle, and stood there with a red cloth swaying, waiting for the messenger to fly by.
The sergeant said that homing pigeons are very sensitive to the color red, and you can attract them by shaking them vigorously when they are over.
"Cuckoo~" A pigeon flew by, and Liu Liang jumped up quickly and shook the red cloth in his hand.
Sure enough, the pigeon landed and started eating.
What made Liu Liang depressed was that there was no letter at the pigeon's feet, so it might not be the messenger.
The sergeant said that there are many eliminated messengers in the Eagle and Dog Lieutenants. They use this method to eat and drink among the people. Be careful not to be deceived. Only those who have a mailbox tied to their feet are messengers.
However, Liu Liang did not chase him away. He stepped forward and begged: "Brother Pigeon, can you call the messenger friend for me? My daughter has been arrested! I have no choice now! Please!"
The pigeon ate for a while, tilted its head, looked Liu Liang up and down, cooed, then flapped its wings and flew away.
Then he continued to wait, and waited, until the sun was about to set, and Liu Liang was almost desperate.
"Bah~" An eagle screamed, and a golden eagle taller than him descended. Its feathers were golden, and its claws seemed to be shining with cold light, giving it a formidable aura.
When Liu Liang saw the package at the feet of the golden eagle, he quickly knelt down and slapped himself in the face. He was afraid that the golden eagle wouldn't be able to count, so he just kept slapping.
"Master Messenger, please save my daughter. Master Messenger, please save my daughter!"
The golden eagle stretched out its wings to stop him, circled around him twice to show that it had received the message, then let out a long roar, spread its wings, set off a strong wind and flew away, blowing the wheat everywhere.
"Hey~"
In the blink of an eye, all I could see was a dark shadow on the horizon.
Liu Liang walked home slowly through the night, full of expectations. When he got home, he received the news that his daughter had been snatched away, and his mother burst into tears again.
As ordinary people, our requirements are really very low, just have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and our families are safe. But sometimes these small requirements are too difficult...
The next day, Liu Liang waited at the entrance of the village for a whole day, but no one came, so he quickly comforted himself.
"Maybe it will take a few more days. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful that you will never lie to yourself."
Early on the third day.
"Dang Dang Dang~" The sound of gongs and assemblies sounded, and Li Zheng came forward with three black-clad sergeants.
"Everyone, come here. The sergeant said you have grievances. Come on, who do you think is? Stand up and I will make the decision for you!" Li Zheng glanced at everyone with his sharp eyes.
There is still a Yakuza who dares to report?
Liu Liang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I want to report that Li Zheng took my daughter away as a slave."
"You're talking nonsense. It's obviously your daughter who trampled on my fertile farmland. You had no money and had to use your daughter to compensate. There were several witnesses at the time!" Li Zheng shouted immediately, with a flash of amusement in his eyes.
"Yes, I can vouch for Li Zheng!" A neighbor immediately stood up.
"I can do it too!" Another one came out.
There were actually two former neighbors who helped testify.
Liu Liang looked at them in disbelief. Li Zheng had bullied them before. When paying the land tax, Li Zheng used a bigger bucket than normal, and everyone even scolded him.
"Master Black Guard, Liu Liang framed a good man, please make the decision for me!" Li Zheng cried and said to the sergeant.
One of the sergeants had been recording something, and the other two exchanged a few words. Then a black guard came out and asked, "What is your name?"
"Liu Liang."
"Where is your daughter? Call her, we want to question you."
Li Zheng said quickly: "Sir, that *** and this little man are father and daughter, so they must speak for him."
"Qiang~" The black guard drew his sword directly and put it on his shoulder: "If you interrupt the questioning next time, you will be arrested immediately!"
Li Zheng trembled in fright: "No..."
An hour later, Li Zheng stood at the door of his house with a pale face. Those servants were useless at all. They were frightened and confessed after a few times. The key sergeant also found several suicide notes from the Six Kingdoms in his home.
"According to our Daqin law, within twenty miles, anyone who abducts or sells children from the same village, or harbors counterfeit documents, shall be punished with death! But His Majesty is merciful and has granted amnesty to the whole world, with thirty years of hard labor!"
"Liu Fang, a citizen of Qin who was twenty miles away, falsely accused Liu Liang and was guilty of the same crime as Li Zheng and was sentenced to thirty years of hard labor!"
"Liu Niu, a citizen of Qin who was twenty miles away, falsely accused Liu Liang. He was guilty of the same crime as Li Zheng and was sentenced to thirty years of hard labor!"
"Liu Liang, a citizen of the twenty-li Qin Dynasty, reported truthfully and was found not guilty. He returned his daughter and received eleven percent of the Li Zheng family property."
...
After hearing the verdict, Li Zheng and two villagers fell to the ground on the spot. Thirty years, how many thirty years can there be in life?
"It's over! If I had known better, I shouldn't have collected the few kilograms of grain!" Liu Fang cried loudly.
Liu Liang burst into tears and knelt down on the spot while holding his daughter: "Thank you, sir, for making the decision for me, thank you, sir!"
The sergeant quickly helped him up: "Your Majesty has ordered that we, the people of Great Qin, can only worship the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and no one else should kneel down!"
"Besides, it's not us you want to thank, but His Majesty. Without him, we wouldn't have the stable life we have now!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Liang quickly faced the direction of Xianyang, crying in pain, and shouted: "Thank you, your majesty, thank you, your majesty, long live your majesty!"
The other villagers who were watching also knelt down one by one...
Finally, someone finally made the decision for civilians like them!
"Hey~" Above the blue sky, the sun was rising slowly from the east, and a huge golden eagle flew by. The mist shrouding the village gradually disappeared, and smoke drifted from the roofs of every house.
The children had already gathered together to play, some were playing interesting games, and some were singing children's songs that were spread throughout the Qin Dynasty.
"One and one make one, two and two make four, three and three make nine..."
...
In Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng held his chin with one hand, sitting on a high seat, wearing black clothes, looking at the sand table below, meditating.
Just coming back from the harem, he suddenly felt that women meant nothing to him. Why not focus on expanding his territory?
"Your Majesty, I have a high request to see you."
"Xuan."
"promise!"
Gao Yao walked in, and Le Ye jumped in directly from the window, rushed directly to the sand table, plowed the ground, and was instantly covered in mud.
"Meow~"
Come, have fun! Play in the mud together!
Gao Yao:......
Ying Zheng:......
Is this fun?
After a moment of silence, Gao Yao reported: "Your Majesty, since the anonymous reporting channel was opened, a total of 1,500 unjust, false and wrong cases have been resolved in one year, including 108 cases of false accusations. 'I want to try to see if it is true.
Of the 90 cases, acknowledgment receipts have been received from the reporting parties and kept on file.”
"Recently, the Eagle and Dog Guards in all counties have expressed that they are short of manpower and couriers and hope to increase them."
"Accurate!" Ying Zheng did not hesitate. Now he has three pairs of eyes: Chaotang, Heibingtai, and Eagle Dog Lieutenant. Of course, the Eagle Dog Lieutenant is the one he believes in the most. After all, Tmall will never lie with his silly appearance.
Human right?
"What interesting things happened in the city today?" Ying Zheng asked curiously. After living in the palace for a long time, he was actually very lonely. At most, he could only go to the harem to communicate with his concubines in depth.
That's it, it doesn't make any sense at all.
Gao Yao thought for a while: "There were no murders occurred under the supervision of the Wolf Guards and Rat Guards of the Eagle and Dog Lieutenants. Only Meng Yi of the Meng family was beaten three times while walking on the road. Now he can no longer recognize his face."
"Haha~" Ying Zheng lost
Laughing, Yi Xiaochuan may have been the one who brought him laughter in the past two years. He basically got beaten once every two months, which was very miserable.
The key murderer seemed to know Da Qin's bottom line and never maimed or killed anyone, so he would do hard labor every time he was caught.
After a few years, he will be a good man again, and his family will still have a lot of money, so why not do it?
After laughing for a while, Ying Zheng remembered something and asked, "How are you preparing for the war in South Vietnam?"
"The anti-venomous insect flags in charge of Lieutenant Eagle and Dog have been prepared, and another thousand wolf guards have arrived at the front line. I don't know about the rest of the preparations for the war."
"Is it true that I don't know, or do I just pretend not to know?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I really don't know!" Gao Yao's expression remained as usual.
He is a timid person and never asks questions about things he shouldn't know.
...
Not long after Gao was about to leave, Meng Tian put on his armor and hurried in: "The sinner, Meng Tian, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng, who was sitting high up, smiled and said, "Oh, what are you guilty of?"
The two of them were dozens of steps away, and the voice sounded clearly in Meng Tian's ears.
Meng Tian knelt down directly and said: "The guilty minister has failed to discipline me well. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."….
"No problem, let's get up and talk about the preparations for South Vietnam." Although Ying Zheng didn't care about Yi Xiaochuan, Meng Tian's attitude still satisfied him.
"I report to Your Majesty: In two years, half a million soldiers have been trained for two years, and the food and grass logistics have been prepared. The logistics team for road construction has also been prepared for a long time, and there are enough explosives."
"In addition, Heibingtai has sent hundreds of undercover agents into various ministries in South Vietnam. Our army is fully prepared and is waiting for His Majesty's order to sweep the entire territory of South Vietnam within three months."
After listening to Meng Tian's report, Ying Zheng was very satisfied. It was very different from Hei Bingtai's information.
At most, the logistics team was not skilled in the use of explosives, and they accidentally blew up the mountain, causing a group of people to almost escape.
Then the Rat Guard, who was in charge of supervision by Eagle and Dog Lieutenant, set fire to the logistics team's tent at night, and the two families almost started fighting.
"Go back and rest for five days, then go to Changsha County to prepare for the expansion of territory for our Great Qin!"
"promise!"
...
In the evening, when Gao Yao returned home, the Lu sisters warmly entertained him, massaging his shoulders and serving him tea and water.
Lu Su has also acquiesced that her sister will serve her together. Are they sisters anyway?
My brother-in-law is so good that his wealth will not go to outsiders!
After waiting for a while, Lu Pheasant asked carefully: "Brother-in-law, do you know that the best way to love someone is to fulfill her!"
In the past two years, Ying Zheng's reputation has been growing, but he still has no queen and no crown prince. The officials are dissatisfied, but Lu Fei has another small thought.
Gao Yao chuckled: "Stop feeding me, I don't eat shit."
Lu Pheasant:......
