As winter passes and spring comes, the earth warms up and everything revives.
The imperial government's decree on people's livelihood and taxes has been issued, further improving and optimizing the land rights and interests that the people should have.
In short, the farmland you reclaim is no longer leased from the government, but is your personal income.
In addition, after the grain, seeds, cattle farming tools, etc. that were previously borrowed from the government due to transition, there will no longer be any exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
In other words, in addition to normal taxes, all the income earned by the work of people everywhere belongs to themselves. Whether you keep it for your own consumption or sell it for money, you are free to do so.
The issuance of this decree made people across the country cheer. People in the fields and villages were shouting long live!
How many people cried with joy because their ancestors had either gone through wars or paid heavy taxes, and had never had enough to eat.
It's different now. The policies of the Emperor of Qin always put people's livelihood as the top priority. They have their own home and their own three-acre land.
How could this not be exciting?
The earth comes back to life, this is true prosperity.
At the same time, there was also a severe crackdown by the Wuwei Prefecture across the country.
This attack is not aimed at any medical practitioners, but to eliminate the charlatans who cheat and deceive.
These people don't know how to treat diseases at all. In order to defraud money, they make some clay pills, talisman water and other things to fool the people, and even randomly administer medicines and kill people's lives.
How can this chaos not be cured?
Yiyang County, Taoyuan County.
The county captain had convened a meeting. At the meeting, he described the key elements of the operation in detail, and finally solemnly issued an order, which can be summarized in four words: it must be eliminated!
The county lieutenant is an official, equivalent to the county-level public security director. He is in charge of the Wuwei Mansion and is the one who issues orders. Under normal circumstances, he will not lead the team himself. This operation was also handed over to the local inspection team.
The patrol inspector in Taoyuan County is named Han Jie. He has rich experience and has made great achievements in catching murderers and thieves. He is a capable officer under the county captain.
In the afternoon, the county seat.
Today's Taoyuan County seems to be a market. There are many pedestrians coming in and out at the city gate, and the streets are also bustling.
"Come and take a look~~~"
"The elixir obtained from the immortal can cure all diseases. If it doesn't work, it doesn't cost any money~~~~"
Somewhere, there is a charlatan disguised as a rogue doctor, deceiving unscrupulously and selling unknown pills at the top of his voice.
A woman couldn't help but ask: "Doctor, the child at home has been suffering from vomiting and diarrhea for several days. Can you take a look at it?"
"It's easy to talk about." The liar stroked his beard and took out a clay pill: "One hundred yuan, just drink this pill with water, and the disease will be cured."
"Ah? It's so expensive, doesn't it require a pulse check?" the woman asked.
Someone next to me immediately said: "What pulse are you diagnosing? This is the elixir that the doctor got from an old god by chance. It can cure any disease. No, I just broke my leg two days ago. It's the doctor." I gave you a pill and you will be able to walk today after taking it. Do you think this magic medicine is too expensive for a hundred coins? There is no shop like this after passing this village."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and she really planned to pay for it.
But at this time, a scholar sneered, pointed his finger and said: "What an obvious liar. You all believe this nonsense! You are so ignorant and ridiculous!"
The liar looked at the scholar with a cold look: "Brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. This is the real magic medicine. It's just because of your shallow knowledge."
The man who 'broke his leg' was also furious: "Where did you come from, boy! How can you know the efficacy of the magic medicine!"
At this point in the conversation, another voice came from outside:
"This young man is right. Please don't fall for such despicable deception methods."
Following the words, Han Jie led a group of officers and soldiers to separate from the crowd and walked in.
Seeing this, the liar began to quietly pack up his things and prepare to run away. The expression of the woman who had asked for medicine also changed, and she looked at each other with the man with the broken leg, trying to quietly withdraw from the crowd.
But before they could make a move, Han Jie reached out to hold their shoulders, one on each side, and said with a smile: "What are you two so anxious about? One of them claimed that the magic medicine was effective, and the other came to ask for it."
Han Jie has been dealing with criminals all year round, so he must be very skilled and very powerful.
The two of them couldn't break free for a while, and the man with the broken leg laughed dryly and said: "I suddenly remembered that I have many things to do at home, so I won't interrupt."
The woman followed: "My child at home is still waiting for treatment, so I won't delay here."
"Catch them all."
Han Jie paid no attention to them, ordered the officers and soldiers to restrain the two, and then walked up to the liar.
At this time, the people watching all saw clearly that these three people were colluding and performing a clumsy drama.
The crowd couldn't help but start pointing and talking.
The liar's face looked ugly: "Master, this villain is just asking for a bite to eat."
"Shut up!" Han Jie interrupted him seriously: "Kui Huan, you are cheating everywhere, fooling people, and defrauding people of their money. Do you know that the government has been pursuing you for a long time?"
"What, the official admitted the wrong person? The villain is just a doctor from the side. His surname is Gao Mingzhong. He doesn't know Wei Huan at all." The liar's heart skipped a beat and he pretended to be calm.
At this time, he was already being held down by two officers and soldiers, one on the left and one on the right.
Han Jie stopped talking nonsense, stretched out his hand and pulled off the two mustaches on his lips. At the same time, he took out a wanted notice, shook his hand and unfolded it, and said in a cold voice: "Kui Huan! Did you know that the neighboring county has sent a joint investigation? , you cheated in a neighboring county a few days ago and killed three people with illegal drugs! Now according to the law, you will be arrested and brought to justice!"
"take away!"
With an order, officers and soldiers moved together to take away the small fraud gang.
Han Jie looked around and said sternly: "It's medicine that's 30% poisonous, so don't eat it! Don't be deceived by such charlatans in the future. If you find it, please report it to Wu Wei Mansion immediately."
After saying that, he raised his feet and left here, and behind him came the discussion of the crowd.
"These scammers only care about extorting money. They can make pills out of anything and give them to you, regardless of whether you are dead or alive."
"Then isn't this unreasonable?"
"That's right! Didn't you listen to that official just now? Three people in the neighboring county were killed by this liar."
"Well done, Wu Wei Mansion should have arrested all these liars long ago."
The process went smoothly. After returning to Wuwei Mansion, Han Jie immediately went to the county captain and made a detailed report.
After hearing this, the county captain pondered for a moment and said: "It's so blatant. Judging from the way they act, it's not that simple."
Han Jie's heart moved: "Sir, are you saying that there may be a bigger gang involved in this scam?" (End of Chapter)
