Instead of severely damaging the Ming Empire, refreshing the dungeon made the Ming Empire richer and richer. This was something that many people did not expect.
Zhu Cixiang has long been used to the fact that the front is tight and the rear is tight. They are not the first wave of leeks, nor are they the last.
As long as the time is up, just wave the sickle and harvest directly.
There is absolutely no need for sympathy or compassion for moths.
Confiscation of homes can enrich the treasury, and these prisoners are also a good labor force, allowing them to mine and cultivate their sentiments.
In the short term, it can provide several years of military expenditure, and in the long term, it will allow the court to enjoy mineral dividends. Why not?
With the advancement of civilization, except for a few people with the most serious diseases, Lingchi execution was rarely used in the Ming Empire.
Serious criminals will be airdropped directly to the Severnaya Zemlya Islands by military transport planes. After they get off, they can go and keep company with polar bears...
According to reports from factory guards, no one has been able to escape from there so far.
In particular, the Severnaya Zemlya Islands are located in the Arctic Circle, and the largest island closest to the North Pole - Cold Island, is a natural large freezer in winter.
It was thousands of kilometers away from the nearest settlement, and it was extremely difficult to get out alive without food or weapons.
The situation in summer is not much better. Since there are no ships, the prisoners can only be trapped on the island, and the evil and cruel side of human nature will be immediately revealed...
But since they are all guilty people, there is no need to show mercy to them. For good people, the best outcome is for all these scum to die together on the island.
It's not like a certain emperor couldn't be accommodating. For example, a rich man drove a car under the influence of alcohol, hit someone and ran away, and then asked someone to cover the tank.
For this kind of thing, the family property can be confiscated and the victim can be compensated without being accused. There is no need to be sent to mine. The whole family can move to a small town near Yakutsk to settle down.
If a drunk driver kills someone, he must go mining first, and then settle in a small town after serving his sentence.
If you don't kill anyone, you can save the mining process, get it right in one step, and enjoy your retirement life.
Indispensable for this was the fear of serving a sentence, so he stuffed money into the relevant investigators, and a certain emperor just took it all in one fell swoop.
This kind of thing is human nature and has been common for a long time. If it suddenly decreases in a certain year, it is a ghost...
The moth could not resist the temptation offered by merchants, and was afraid of being attacked by a certain emperor.
When the incident is about to come to light, they can either choose to collect money and run away, or they can only rebel in place.
According to statistics, in the past five years, there have been more than 50 rebellions involving more than a hundred people in the Ming Dynasty alone.
But without exception, they were all suppressed. As long as Emperor Haojing reigns for one day, this kind of thing will not succeed.
For Emperor Haojing, this kind of thing also has a good side, that is, it can uproot local forces.
Whether you are obedient or not can be inferred from the tax books.
How many wealthy gentry can withstand an audit these days?
With the help of the reporting reward system, local forces were simply unable to resist the attack of imperial power.
Zhu Cixiang asked the factory guard to handle the case, not to find out who was the good guy and who was the bad guy.
Just arrest the most heinous people and beat up the rest.
Because once you understand the truth, you will find that few are truly good people...
It's a matter of urgency. Less serious matters can be ignored for the time being and brought up again when they are needed.
At the beginning, Zhu Cihong joked to the officials that despite the extreme cold in the Yakutsk area, many people would settle there in the future.
Some of his confidants instantly understood what the emperor meant. As long as the prisoner wanted to survive, would he still have the right to choose where to go?
In that kind of place, you can live if you can, and die if you can't. No one cares whether you live or die!
Most of them will first serve ten years in the mining area and then be sent to the Yakutsk region to live until death.
For these things, it is better to cut them into pieces than to let them suffer alive.
No one dared to resist, and at most they tried to find an opportunity to escape.
There are not many of these people with a bloody heart. After serving their sentences in the mining area, no matter how bad-tempered they are, they cannot withstand a few whips.
Criminals are not as good as slaves. This is by no means alarmist. Only after they are released from prison can they obtain slave status.
While serving their sentences in the mining areas, they were treated worse than slaves and no longer considered human beings.
If you didn’t want to be a beast, why did you hit and run in the first place? Why line your own pockets? Why do you have no authority?
Since they liked being unruly so much, Emperor Haojing let them spend the rest of their lives in a similar good place.
Most of the area north of Yakutsk, that is, within the Arctic Circle, is a place where no one cares.
The person who performs best while serving his sentence can become the village chief there, and the person who performs well as the village chief can become the town mayor.
There is no room for advancement at any higher level, because the imperial court will never build a city in such a rubbish place. It would be a waste of money.
Except for places near the North Atlantic with a slightly better climate, most villages and towns in the Arctic Circle have already implemented self-management.
There are no factory guard patrols there, and security depends on the locals. Whether it is a group fight or a one-on-one fight, life and death are determined by fate. Wealth is in the sky, and the court will not send people to interfere unless necessary.
On the other hand, the people who settled in the area liked to break laws and disciplines. In this case, Emperor Haojing just went along with them. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
There are endless murders in these places every day. If those who arrive first and those who come later are enemies, then there is no need to wait until the fifteenth, they will be solved on the same day...
Except for murder cases, the village chief or town chief only needs to write a report, attach photos, and send someone to the nearest city to report the crime.
The higher-ups will send people to verify the situation. If there are no surprises, the case can be closed. It's that simple!
The murderer will not be brought to justice, because this is a place outside the law, and as long as he does not attack the court officials, he can do whatever he wants.
The imperial court would arrange accommodation for the families who came to settle there, and provide free food to ensure that they would not starve to death, as well as some daily necessities.
The rest has to be solved by self-reliance. Men can cut down trees and dig mines as coolies, but it is much easier for fair-skinned and beautiful women.
There is no need to be reserved. If they want to avoid physical labor while serving their sentence in the mining area, they have to engage in another kind of physical labor...
After we settled down, few of them were perfect, so there was no need to keep clean.
If he had really kept himself clean, he would not have been severely punished in the first place.
Some women are harmed by the men in their families. Because of this, they have to kill their relatives in advance.
The consequence of not having the heart to attack is that they still dare to resist when others attack them casually.
In the village, the village chief is God and he can play with women as he pleases.
If the latecomers are strong enough, they can kill the village chief or even the town mayor on the same day and replace them themselves.
This kind of weird thing where subordinates suppressed superiors did not happen before, but it was already commonplace for everyone in the imperial court.
I give you a chance, but if you don't use it, then it's no one else's fault...
The imperial court can let these scum kill each other without spending a single soldier, and Emperor Haojing is naturally happy to see this happen.
If someone is capable, he can seize all the women in the village, and the court will not bother him.
At first, Zhu Cixiang didn't want to send people to manage it, but considering that the area was full of bad people.
After the good guys passed by, they either became bad or were killed by the bad guys. The court still had to spend an extra sum of money every year, so it gave up.
Just like the Severnaya Zemlya, just let the bad guys fend for themselves there, and you can still get a good reputation of the emperor's grace. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
Unless there is a large-scale rebellion, what happens locally will not appear in the media, and it is a lawless place in the standard sense.
Unless they are pardoned, the slave status of these people will be hereditary, and their descendants will enjoy these benefits.
Once someone is found fleeing the local area and running to the area south of 60 degrees north latitude, they will be arrested immediately.
The court will deal with the village chief or the town mayor, which is considered a crime detrimental to the governance.
After the vacancies are filled, the local area can start a new round of cake-sharing operations.
How the locals divide the cake is their own business, even if it becomes the Warring States Period.
Not to mention that the families in the village are hostile to each other, even between villages, there are often attacks on each other.
After conquering a village, all the people and objects in it will be the spoils of the victor.
The most common thing is to snatch women of the right age. The more beauties there are, the stronger the strength.
A town mayor can have dozens or even hundreds of concubines, and they don't have to spend a lot of money, just give them some food.
In Zhu Cixiang's opinion, that kind of place is almost like the end of the world, except that it cannibalize people.
But these scum only deserve to live in a place like this. If they were to live in a place with better conditions, they would definitely start harming good people again.
Generally, the mayor has his own bodyguard, and firearms are essential. The weapons and ammunition are all obtained in exchange for women.
Even if they were armed, they did not dare to openly resist the imperial court.
Because they are all smart people and know that fighting against the imperial court will not end well.
The reason why I ended up in this situation is because I made a big mistake in the first place.
If you still want to drink, eat meat and play with women, you must not make the same mistake again.
The target can only be one's own kind. Anyway, it is not illegal to rob the other party...
This is tacitly approved by the court. As long as the relevant rules are followed, everyone can do what they want.
After summer, the imperial court would send people to transport the local grain needed for a year in batches, and the slaves would receive it with their ID cards.
If you want to live a better life, or even return to the original quality of life, you have to rely on your own abilities.
It is not that there are not enough good daily necessities in the foreign land, but they can only be enjoyed by a few people.
There are also new cars, mansions, and beautiful women in the town, just like places south of the 60th parallel north.
Therefore, the competition is very fierce, and it is completely normal for 1,800 people to die.
Those who are unruly and weak can have themselves buried directly on the day they settle down...
There was no such thing as a casual banquet in the local area. At most, they dug a hole and buried it, which was similar to a dead dog in an ordinary family.
Even if a senior official who had previously reached the third rank died here, the mayor would not let his men dig more holes for him.
If the pit was omitted, within three days of being left in the wild, there would be no bones left, and even the excrement of wild animals would have been frozen.
Rickshaws can be seen everywhere in the local area, because human power is much cheaper than animal power or motor vehicles.
Is it scary?
Is it tragic?
Are you falling behind?
Isn’t this all self-inflicted?
The Ming Empire is about to land on the moon, but some places still use rickshaws and have tens of millions of slaves. As the saying goes, the greater the contrast, the more exciting...
As the inventory unfolds, more and more slaves will be sent to settlements. The existence of these things, like moss, makes the cold northern region of the mainland very popular!
In order to prevent the expansion of the number of slaves from becoming a burden to the empire and to stabilize the southern region of Zhongzhou, Emperor Haojing also decided to allow prisoners who had performed well during their sentences to settle in the area.
The climate here is much better than the frozen land, but only those who perform well, that is, those whose workload meets the standard, will enjoy this treatment.
As soon as the news came out, the workload of the prisoners in the mining area immediately began to soar. After all, no one wanted to spend the rest of their lives in the frozen land.
This is the bad nature of some people. If you give them hope, they will act like cattle and horses, and if you let them be easily satisfied, they will become insatiable.
Before the Dongchuang incident, some of the emperor's orders could be criticized at will by these things.
Nowadays, no one will complain if we work ten hours a day in the mining area and have one day off a week.
Once caught red-handed complaining, an additional week will be added to the sentence, and a cumulative total of three times will become half a year.
If you escape once, you will be sentenced to five years in prison. If you escape three times, you will be airdropped directly to the Severnaya Islands...
These are the rules of the game in the mining area. Those who are unwilling to abide by the rules can apply to settle in the Severnaya Zemlya Islands in one step!
It was a veritable place where people could eat people, and few prisoners would take the initiative to go there.
Therefore, the vast majority of prisoners will behave honestly, do whatever they want, and seek death if they find themselves uncomfortable.
In comparison, fighting was a trivial matter, nothing more than requiring a whipping.
Small things like this happen every day for no other reason than they used to be partners, but now they are both in trouble. After learning that they were reported, they started to turn against each other, and then the dog bites the dog.
The only thing that cannot be done is to cause death or maiming, otherwise the workload of the other party will be added to the culprit.
There is no such thing as laziness, slippery play, or workmanship in the mining area. Before serving their sentence, the mining area will obtain information on the workload of relevant prisoners.
The elderly, weak, sick and disabled, including women and children, naturally have corresponding sentencing standards.
Once someone is found to be inconsistent with his workload, he does not need to continue serving his sentence. If there is no legitimate reason, he can be airdropped to the Severnaya Islands...
It’s not that there are no such people, there are quite a few!
It was only after I learned that I would be airdropped to the Severnaya Islands that I began to regret it. I swore and prayed in various ways, but it was too late and everything I said was nonsense.
If you are serving your sentence in the mining area, don't regret it if you are lazy, and if you regret it, don't be lazy, otherwise sooner or later you will become the rations of the indigenous people of the Severnaya Zemlya Islands.
In order to solve the problems of his old friends, the Inca Emperor Polo also wanted to introduce a group of prisoners from the Ming Dynasty to serve as slave miners.
The Inca mines have already realized mechanized mining. If his old friend is in trouble, Poirot can help him.
Especially through this Pacific Rim earthquake, another giant copper mine with reserves of over 100 million tons was shaken out of Inca.
There are a lot of mines in the Andes, it just depends on when they can be found. If the mountain god himself can reveal his wealth, then it couldn't be more convenient.
Poirot was a blessing in disguise this time. The huge expenses of disaster relief, reconstruction, and previous counterinsurgency and expedition to Persia could be fully reimbursed with just one copper mine...
