Lu Shiliang looked at Wang Ben, who didn't look like he was testing him at all, with gratitude in his eyes. At this time, Lu Shiliang's state was the same as when Bai Yifei was retained by Ying Zheng and continued to serve as the governor of Nanyang County. The first choice was to be wary of surrendering generals and not to participate in any government affairs in the city. However, Wang Ben once again handed over the government affairs of Yuguan to Lu Shiliang, which made Lu Shiliang feel that others recognized his abilities and morals, and even more so for him. an affirmation.
"I will definitely live up to the commander-in-chief's trust." Lu Shiliang said.
"Mr. Lu, I'm going to ask you to please continue to handle the government affairs in the city. After the judges from the recruitment hall and the Ying clan arrive, they will spread the Qin law. I hope you can cooperate and appease the people." Wang Ben reminded.
"Of course, I have paid attention to the lives of the people in Yingchuan County. They live very well under the new Qin Law. I will help them." Lu Shiliang said. Lu Shiliang is also a Legalist disciple, but he has always lacked Legalist classics. To study, you can only rely on your own thinking and a heart for the people to govern.
"Thank you sir."
After Wang Ben and Li Xin explained some more things to Lu Shiliang, they left the city guard's mansion.
"I said before you came, sir, why did you tell me that attacking Wei this time was a good job? I didn't expect it to be because of this." Li Xin said, touching his chin.
With so many disciples cooperating with them, as long as they don't commit suicide, it is only a matter of time before they take over the Wei Kingdom.
"After I get back, I will write a letter and give it to you, asking him in detail about the specific reasons." Wang Ben said. Although Wang Ben already believed Lu Shiliang's words, he was still a little worried. Only after asking Ziyou for confirmation , he can rest assured.
"You said that the people in these cities have surrendered, can we still kill these powerful people?" Li Xin whispered beside Wang Ben.
If these people resisted them, they would kill them without any scruples, then ransack their homes and give the people their land. But now that these people have surrendered, they have no reason at all.
"The biggest problem with these powerful people is greed. If they are really clean, we won't say anything if we let you go. Just tell the king and ask someone to bless them. You can find them with a simple search. If you seize this black spot and deal with them directly, you will not only complete the task, but also win over the people. Some are difficult to deal with, so let Luo Sheng take action directly." Wang Ben said in a low voice.
"I'll be responsible for finding the person who snagged the trap." Li Xin said.
As the sun set in the west and night rose, the people of Yuguan spent the first day in fear. Some powerful people also breathed a sigh of relief. They were thinking about how to face the Qin army in the future to maintain their status. Little did they know that as night fell, figures appeared on the roofs of some powerful people.
The next day, the people in Yuguan were relieved when they knew that the city guard was still Lu Shiliang. They did not believe in the Qin army, but they still believed in the city guard who kept their Yuguan safe. Some brave people began to walk in the city or set up stalls.
Compared with the people in Yuguan, the dignitaries in Yuguan were crying loudly. They had no idea where they had provoked the Qin army. As soon as they woke up, the Qin army broke through their gate and took away their former crimes. They were forced to sign and sign for the crimes they committed, and then they were tied up and thrown into prison.
In Yingchuan County, Ziyou was sitting on the head of a field wearing ordinary linen clothes and chatting with an old man who was sitting on the head of the field to rest after farming.
"This winter has been difficult, but it has been much better than before. Your Majesty exempted us from taxes for two years, which allowed us to have a surplus of food last year to survive this winter. This year's spring plowing went very smoothly, and the farmland allocated by the court was The village has allocated two cows, which are enough for us to cultivate well. And the curved shaft plow, let me tell you, you have never used it. This plowing speed is much faster than what we used to do." The old man's face was full of satisfaction. said.
Cattle and farming tools were not something ordinary people like them could think about before. They were only owned by wealthy families, and they had to pay to rent them if they wanted to use them. But now they can use them for free for two years. After two years, they can use them for free. Years later, they will also need to spend food or money to rent the cattle and farming tools in the village, but the price has been much lower. It is just the normal cost of raising cattle and the wear and tear of farming tools, and they, the common people, can also accept it.
"Have you adapted to the new Qin Law in the past six months? I heard that the Qin Law is not as harsh as usual!" Ziyou asked with a Qi accent.
The old man glanced sideways at Ziyou and said
"No matter how harsh Qin's law is, it can't compare to the oppression of those powerful and powerful families. I don't know whether Qin's law is harsh or not. I only know that after South Korea becomes Yingchuan County, we will no longer worry about those powerful and powerful people coming to oppress us and rob us. Our land. And Qin Fa has made all those who harmed our neighbors come to justice, and they will not bully us anymore."
After speaking, the old man's eyes were full of complex expressions and he continued.
"You may not know that after the Qin army captured our place, I was very scared at first. The army said that the Qin army exchanged human heads for military merit, and we were afraid that the Qin army would exchange our heads for military merit.
So after the Qin army arrived, most of the people ran up the mountain. I didn't run because I couldn't bear to part with the food at home. I thought that it would be better to be a well-fed ghost than to live and continue to starve. I am ready to be killed by the Qin army.
But the Qin army did not take action against us common people. Instead, they killed the greedy bastard in the village and gave us the land that belonged to us that he had obtained through coercion and inducement over the years. They also gave us some food to sustain us until the autumn harvest. "
"So life is pretty good now, right? No one bullies you anymore?" Ziyou asked, touching his chin.
"I am much stronger than before. At least I have the motivation to live. Even though I am almost fifty years old, I still want to live for a few more years. I haven't lived such a prosperous and stable life in many years. Because of the All kinds of taxes made it difficult to eat even one meal a day, but now I can eat two meals a day. Although wild vegetables are indispensable, it is much better than before." The old man said with a smile.
"I really didn't expect that there would be such a good place under Qin Fa's rule?" Ziyou said pretending to be surprised.
"Hunter, what are you talking about? I heard that this is not only the case here, but also the entire Yingchuan County. If the old Korea could have treated us like this, my little son would not have starved to death. . Now we people in Yingchuan County can survive." The old man said with some emotion.
When Ziyou heard the old man calling himself Yingchuan County, he already had some confidence in his heart. A title can best reflect a people's recognition of their country. If these people still remember the original Korea, they will never call themselves Yingchuan County people, but Koreans. The people of this era do not ask for much. They are satisfied if they can have food to eat and hope to survive. The old man chatted a lot with Ziyou again, such as the recently built water tanker, the seeds distributed, etc.
"Old man, I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more," Ziyou said.
"I won't bother a scholar like you to take the scientific examination. Be careful in your future life. Recently, some rangers who don't look like good people have appeared out of nowhere." The old man reminded.
"Youxia? Did they commit something?" Ziyou asked with a frown.
"That's not true. If they committed a crime, they would be captured by the government. These people are rewarded. It's just that these people come and go more recently. They seem to know each other. They look more fierce. On the way It's better to be careful, lest they get killed or cheated somewhere," the old man reminded.
"Thank you for reminding me, husband, I will be careful."
After finishing his talk, Zizi left the village and came outside the village entrance. Mo Ya had been waiting for a long time with his carriage. Yan Lingji, Xue Nu and Shao Siming were all waiting for him in the carriage. After entering the carriage, Mo Ya carried the carriage towards the next place.
"Sir, where should we go next?" Snow Girl asked.
"Go to Xinzheng. The officials in Xinzheng should be waiting impatiently." Ziyou said.
"The people of Yingchuan County seem to be living a good life now." Yan Lingji said while looking out the window at the people who were sowing seeds.
Although you can still see the desolate scenery on the road in Yingchuan County now, it is much better than before. People are already cultivating the fields on the roadside, and the scorched soil is gradually returning to fertile land. Recovering from the decline caused by the war is not immediate; it takes time. With the support of the entire Qin State, it is surprising that Yingchuan County has recovered to such an extent in such a short period of time.
"Yes, the entire Qin State is helping Yingchuan County. If there is no improvement, there is no need for these officials to continue to exist." Ziyou said while writing the memorial, "Just now, my father-in-law told me that Xinzheng is here recently. A lot of rangers appeared."
"Youxia Er? It seems that something good is going to happen in Xinzheng." Yan Lingji licked her lips and said with a smile, her beautiful eyes full of cunning. It was because she was too bored in Xianyang that she followed Ziyou out for inspection.
The rangers themselves are an unstable factor. Once they gather together, basically nothing good will happen. Yan Lingji, who is the most fun-loving person, will certainly not let such a good thing go.
"I hope this good show is what I have in mind." Ziyou said with a slight smile.
Looking at Yan Lingji and Ziyou, Xue Nu also felt that she could have a bit of a kick. Zi You seems to be very stable, but in essence, he is also a fun-loving person who likes to join in the fun. Every time he joins in the fun, a small fun will definitely turn into an unexpected big surprise, and Xue Nu Zi You also likes to go to the fun.
"Mo Crow, speed up, we can reach Xinzheng before dark." Ziyou said.
"promise."
Mo Ya speeded up the carriage. Although they were now within the range of Xinzheng, they had to speed up if they wanted to reach Xinzheng before dark.
Xinzheng, the palace of the old Han Dynasty.
After the Qin army captured South Korea, they did not demolish the Han palace, but took away all the valuable items, leaving behind this huge palace. At this moment, the desolate Han Palace looks like a resentful woman, standing here and telling the love and hatred of Korea in the past at all times.
Slight footsteps sounded in the desolate Han Palace, and a man in black robe strolled in the empty Han Palace, like a lonely ghost. The pair of black eyes under the black robe are full of memories and coldness.
"South Korea is destroyed. This palace of the Han Dynasty, which used to represent the power of the King of Han, is now more like a trophy of the Qin State. A symbol that shows the kindness and power of Ying Zheng." The man in black robe said lightly.
"I don't think so. This Han Palace is more like a bright light, guiding the Korean people who are living abroad, asking them not to forget their past country and the shame they carry." Another man in black robes appeared. The voice behind the man in black said with gentleness.
"A bright light? Reality is cruel. If you still retain your infatuation for your ideal, your fate will be no different from South Korea." The first man in black robe continued.
"You still speak so sharply. It's been a long time since I saw Brother Wei Zhuang."
The second man in black robe took off his black robe and revealed his face. It was Zhang Liang who had taken refuge with Lord Changping.
"Long time no see, your face?" Wei Zhuang looked at the scars on Zhang Liang's face and his pupils shrank.
Zhang Liang touched the scar on his face and said in a gentle voice
"This is more like a proof that the road to national restoration is full of thorns. This scar is nothing compared to those who died in the war."
"It seems that your life these years has been more interesting than mine." Wei Zhuang sighed as he looked at Zhang Liang, who was now different from what he remembered.
Although Zhang Liang was a gentleman as gentle as jade in the past, when he first entered the court, his behavior was still green. But now Zhang Liang has long lived up to his original youth, his eyes are full of perseverance, and the scars on his face tell the story of what Zhang Liang has experienced over the years.
Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, his life these years was indeed interesting. After surviving in Shu County, Zhang Liang returned to Chu State with injuries and found that Chu State had been divided. After he went to Yingdu to find Lord Changping, he narrated the reasons for Shu County's failure. Lord Changping did not blame him much, but continued to appoint him and Zhang family disciples to positions in Yingdu. It was not until Qin attacked Wei that Lord Changping, in order to restrict Qin, held back Qin and asked him to come to Xinzheng with the old Korean nobles he had won over over the years.
"So you invited me here this time to help Mr. Changping?" Wei Zhuang asked coldly.
After Wei Zhuang was destroyed in Korea, he secretly hid in Korea with the quicksand that had absorbed Bai Niao, and lived the life of a killer group. A few days ago, someone sent a mission to the killer of Liusha, and the mission book had the mark of the original Liusha. After deciphering the code on the mission, Wei Zhuang knew that the other party wanted to meet him at the Han Palace. Wei Zhuang originally thought it would be Han Fei or Zi Nu, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Liang.
"When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left. If Wei is destroyed by Qin again, Zhao and Chu will be separated. The remaining countries will become fish on Qin's chopping board and be slaughtered by others." Zhang Liang sighed and said .
"So what do you want to do when you come back this time?" Wei Zhuang asked.
