The eight hundred and forty-ninth chapter is in the customs?
On the seventh day after Chang'an City was cleaned up, there happened to be a heavy rain.
After the heavy rain, Lin Ze ordered the army to collectively sacrifice the dead Chang'an people and officially settled in Chang'an City.
At the same time, Lin Ze disposed of more than 90,000 South Vietnamese prisoners in accordance with his original commitment.
A total of thirty-seven teams that failed to complete their tasks were all chained and officially incorporated into the hard labor camp.
What awaits them will be endless hard labor until the day they close their eyes forever.
Under Lin Ze's instructions, Yu Ziqi referred to the Sirius Army's standards for selecting soldiers and selected more than 32,000 soldiers from the 90,000 soldiers who completed the mission on time to form a reserve army.
These people were temporarily commanded by Yu Ziqi, who was responsible for training them into regular troops.
The training period given by Lin Ze was only half a year, and the standards were all based on those of the Sirius Army.
There were less than 60,000 South Vietnamese soldiers left, and with a wave of his hand, Lin Ze organized them all into field camps to plant hundreds of thousands of hectares of unowned farmland outside Chang'an City.
The climate in Guanzhong is pleasant, and the fertile fields outside Chang'an City have high yields and produce high-quality grain and rice. It would be a pity if they were left abandoned.
According to Lin Ze's newly established six-department power system, the Tuntian Camp will be jointly managed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of War is responsible for making the soldiers in the field camp obey orders, and arranges appropriate training during slack periods.
The Ministry of Industry will send out full-time agricultural officials to guide these soldiers in sowing, weeding, fertilizing, harvesting, etc.
The Ministry of Household Affairs arranges officials to supervise and promptly check the grain and rice produced and deposit it into the national treasury.
Since the founding of the Western Qin Dynasty, Lin Ze no longer went on a killing spree. Except for some who really deserved to die, most of them were incorporated into hard labor camps and farming camps.
After all, population is the most important wealth of a dynasty, and it would be a pity to kill them randomly.
Before setting up his own business, Lin Ze would never have thought of this.
In order to facilitate the administration of Chang'an City and surrounding counties, Lin Ze mobilized personnel and temporarily built Chang'an Mansion.
When Chang'an Mansion entered the city to open a government office and officially handle surrounding government affairs, Lin Ze keenly discovered that the hearts of the people around Chang'an City began to slowly calm down.
Of course, this is inseparable from two things Lin Ze did. One is to issue an announcement that the counties and townships under the jurisdiction of Chang'an Prefecture will be tax-free for one year and halved for the next three years.
Second, the Jin Yiwei went deep into the countryside. Anyone who spread rumors was secretly arrested and thrown into a hard labor camp for reflection.
With these measures, Lin Ze finally stabilized Chang'an.
Although the current situation is like building a sand sculpture with sand, and it may topple over with a little external force, it has stabilized for the time being.
After completing this step, Lin Ze began to take the second step, stabilizing Guanzhong.
Compared with stabilizing Chang'an, stabilizing Guanzhong is much more difficult.
After all, all those who were loyal to the Qin State in Chang'an City died, and the remaining counties and villages only had hundreds of thousands of people. In terms of number and loyalty, they were far inferior to the people in Chang'an City.
In addition, Lin Ze led tens of thousands of Western Qin troops to stand on the outskirts of Chang'an, watching eagerly, and thousands of Jinyi guards were secretly "escorting", so it seemed relaxed.
The old Qin people who have lived in the land of Guanzhong for generations are not so easy to talk to.
Lin Ze thought over and over again and decided to start from the top, so he called Qian Hu, a guard in imperial robes, and gave a few instructions.
…
Tianliang County, located in the northwest corner of Guanzhong, is one of the most famous horse breeding places in Qin State.
Just because 2,300 years ago, the ancestors of the Ying family of the Qin State were ordered by the Emperor of Zhou to raise horses here, and used this to accumulate strength, gradually occupy Guanzhong, and establish the Qin State.
In other words, Tianliang County is the land of Ying family’s Longxing.
After occupying the entire Guanzhong, the Ying family moved to Yueyang with most of their clan members and capable ministers in order to facilitate their rule and expansion.
Tianliang County inevitably declined because it was the ancestral land of the Qin royal family and established nobles. Not only was it free of taxes, it also received various subsidies every year, and its prosperity was still better than that of ordinary places.
For the meritorious nobles in Chang'an City, this place is far away from the court and free from worldly conflicts, so it is the best place to retire.
Even because Tianliang County is located in a remote area, the whole world's attack on Qin did not affect it here.
However, today, on the official road, hundreds of horsemen came roaring, completely breaking the peace of Tianliang County.
On the southern outskirts of Tianliang County, at the Meng Family Manor, hundreds of handsome men in brocade robes stood with their swords drawn at the door. A murderous wind arose, sweeping forward from both sides and heading towards the vermilion gate.
The Meng family guards responsible for guarding the gate and the receptionist had already closed the gate and sounded the alarm before the knights in brocade arrived.
After a while, the door of the Meng family manor opened again. An old man in rich clothes stood at the door, with a calm demeanor, and asked loudly: "I am Meng Han, the previous head of the Meng family. May I ask where you come from? How come you came to my Meng family?"
What's the matter?"
Behind the old man in rich attire, stood several rows of powerful middle-aged men, all of whom were the main members of the Meng family.
The first knight in brocade clothes, without dismounting from his horse, said in a slightly condescending manner: "I am Xia Yun, the commander of the brocade uniform guards in Guanzhong of the Western Qin Dynasty. On the order of the leader of the Western Qin Dynasty, I invite the Meng family to visit Chang'an."
Lord of Western Qin?
When Meng Han heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he had a lot of thoughts. Isn't the leader of the Western Qin Kingdom the Shuhou Linze who rebelled against the Qin Kingdom some time ago?
He sent someone to invite the Meng family to Chang'an? Could it be that he occupied the city of Chang'an?
A terrible thought suddenly appeared in Meng Han's mind. Could it be that the Qin State...
Meng Han took a long breath, forced the thought away, and asked in a deep voice: "I wonder why the Lord of Western Qin invited my Meng family to go to Chang'an?"
Xia Yun replied calmly: "I don't know, I'm just following orders. The master of the Meng family has gone to Chang'an. You can ask the master of the country face to face."
Meng Han suddenly fell into silence. After a while, he said decisively: "Since the Lord of Western Qin has summoned me, I will go with you."
Xia Yun shook his head and said slowly: "The king's intention is not to invite someone from the Meng family, but to invite the entire Meng family to go. Except for the old, weak, sick and disabled who are really inconvenient to move, no one should be left behind."
Before Meng Han could say anything, a middle-aged man behind him shouted: "The whole family is going? It's so majestic?"
Meng Han's expression immediately changed, and he yelled at the middle-aged man who was speaking: "Shut up."
Xia Yun said with a cold face: "Have you discussed it yet? When can we set off?"
Suddenly a voice sounded: "What if I don't go?"
I don't know who the Meng family is, but for fear of angering Meng Han, I hid in the crowd and whispered.
Xia Yun replied without changing his expression: "I will do everything possible to carry out the orders of the king. If I can bring them alive, I will bring them alive. If I can't bring them alive, I will bring them to death."
"If I can't take him alive or dead, I and the hundreds of brothers behind me will have no shame in going to see the king, and will have to die here."
"I would like to remind everyone that if I die here, the Meng family should be prepared to flee as far away as possible to avoid annihilation of the family."
As soon as Xia Yun said this, everyone in the Meng family immediately exploded and discussed continuously.
Since the establishment of the Qin State, the Meng family has risen together with the Qin State. It has always had a transcendent status. How has it ever been threatened like this?
Just when the people of the Meng family were agitated and wanted to express their dissatisfaction, Meng Han stopped them with just one word.
"It's a long way to go to Chang'an. There are too many Meng family members, so it will take a long time to arrange it. How many days can I ask for your grace?"
Meng Han's tone was very calm, as if he was discussing a very ordinary matter.
Xia Yun thought for a while and replied: "I remember that the king of the country seemed to have mentioned this matter. I thought that some people are slow to move and can go later. The young and strong members of the family must go first and rush to Chang'an within ten days."
"I have spent three days here. Including the journey back, Patriarch Meng still has about four days to prepare. I will wait for you outside Tianliang City."
Meng Han nodded slightly: "Thank you, sir."
Xia Yun waved his hand and said: "I am just following orders, there is no need to be polite. Brother, let's go, let's move on to the next one."
Meng Han heard this and said quickly: "Sir, wait a minute, I wonder how many families have been summoned by the king this time?"
"There are many nobles from the Qin State headed by Meng Xibai."
Xia Yun replied, turned the horse's head and ran out.
