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 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. They say that they are used by the nobles themselves, and each of them is more active in learning it than anyone else.
South Vietnam and the Xiongnu had food purchased from each other, so they naturally did not dare to invade Daqin casually. There were several small-scale invasions along the way, but they were quickly monitored by 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 had absolutely no involvement 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 in some places are easy to be blocked, 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 have different scripts and accents, which seriously hinders unified cultural exchanges. Ying Zheng agreed to Li Si's suggestion and directly promulgated a simplified script as the official text. 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, and they protested collectively outside Xianyang Palace. A total of more than 400 Confucian scholars were very impressive, and they were then sent by Ying Zheng to dig coal.
Prince Ying Fusu offended the First Emperor because of his remonstrance, and 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 languages of the Six Kingdoms, they were first translated into Qin script by Confucian scholars, and then all the originals were burned.
Of course, many righteous men appeared in the process, but they could not resist the people's support and did not cause any waves. After two years of peace and stability, who still remembers 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 found in despair that their control over their original territory was almost reduced 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 aren't you dead yet?
...
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 become big? 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 is 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, which was the basis of his arrogance. There were some farmers in the area for twenty miles, and they would behave after a few scares. These mud-legged people still have old people and good friends at home, how dare they 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 don't you think highly of your daughter? Then there was anger. If there weren't an old man at home, he would have wanted to rush in with a knife and fight. 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 station.
"That's right!" Liu Liang suddenly remembered that Da Qin also had a reporting system.
Some time ago, a sergeant summoned them and told them that if anyone found someone committing a crime, they could 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 great merit will also be given knighthoods.
Of course, if the report is false, you will have to serve hard labor for a minimum of two years.
"Mad! 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 holding a red cloth and 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 pass by.
"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 with mailboxes tied to their feet are messengers.
However, Liu Liang did not drive 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 wait until the sun was about to set and Liu Liang was almost desperate.
"Bah~" There was an eagle cry, and a golden eagle taller than him fell down. Its feathers were golden, and its claws seemed to be shining with cold light, and it was imposing.
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 him.
"Mr. Messenger, please save my daughter. Sir Messenger, please save my daughter!"
The golden eagle stretched out its wings to stop him, and circled around him twice to show that it had received the message. Then it 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. We just need to have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and our families are safe. But sometimes this small requirement is 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 days. Your Majesty is wise and mighty and 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 that you have grievances. Come on, who do you think is? Stand up and I will make the decision for you!" Satomasa 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 and made him a slave."
"You're talking nonsense. It's obviously your daughter who trampled on my farmland. You had no money and had to use your daughter to compensate. There were several witnesses at the time!" Satsuma shouted immediately, with a hint 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. A black guard came out and asked, "What is your name?"
"Liu Liang."
"Where is your daughter? Call here, we want to question her."
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: "Next time if you interrupt the questioning, 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 counter-propaganda, 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. He was sentenced to thirty years of hard labor!"
"Liu Niu, a citizen of Qin in twenty li, falsely accused Liu Liang and was guilty of the same crime as Li Zheng. He 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 food!" 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 as our master, and no one else can 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. A huge golden eagle flew by. The mist covering 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 to one is one, two to two is four, three to three is 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, thinking deeply.
Just coming back from the harem, he instantly 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, be happy! Let’s 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, all counties and counties have expressed that they are short of manpower and messengers and hope to increase their number."
"Accurate!" Ying Zheng did not hesitate. Now he has three pairs of eyes: Chaotang, Heibingtai, and Eagle Dog Lieutenant. Of course, the one he believed the most was Eagle Dog Lieutenant. After all, Tmall couldn't lie to others with his silly look, 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
Laugh, it was probably Yi Xiaochuan who brought him laughter in the past two years. He would be beaten basically 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 still has 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. Another thousand wolf guards have arrived at the front line. I don't know about the rest of the war preparations."
"Is it true that I don't know, or do I just pretend not to know?" Ying Zheng asked.
"I don't know!" Gao Yao's expression remained normal.
He is a timid person and never asks about things he shouldn't know.
...
Not long after Gao was about to leave, Meng Tian put on his armor and walked in quickly: "The sinner, Meng Tian, pays homage to Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng, who was sitting high up, smiled and said, "Oh, what's your crime?"
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 training for two days, 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."
"And 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 all of South Vietnam within three months."
After listening to Meng Tian's report, Ying Zheng was very satisfied. The information was very different from that of Hei Bingtai.
At most, the logistics team was unskilled in using explosives and 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 other thoughts.
Gao Yao chuckled: "Stop feeding me, I don't eat shit."
Lu Pheasant:......
