Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 509 What a Chen She! (Please give me a monthly recommendation ticket!)
"you--"

Wei Tong's sword pointed at this muscular man.

This man has blue eyes.Although there is a big Chinese character Qin engraved on his face, his eyes are exceptionally bright.

This makes this person very special among the prisoners.

These prisoners were all brought here after committing crimes.Some of them are from Chu State, some are from South Korea, and some are from Wei State and Qi State.

As early as a few years ago, the Qin State built Chidao. Although there was a method of recruiting workers, the main labor force still relied on prisoners.The Qin State destroyed the six kingdoms, and there were a large number of prisoners available in the world.In places like Handan County, there are plenty of prisoners, so there is no need to recruit refugees.

(Instructions designed by high-level officials are often not easily implemented when they are issued to local governments. Therefore, what reform requires most is time, a lot of time to change the old social environment little by little.)
Today's prisoners all have mining experience.In the past, the Qin State was digging for minerals all over the world to prepare cinnabar for the tomb of Qin Shihuang. They were the refugees sent to the mines.After digging cinnabar and iron ore, and then the coal mine, he was now transferred to Handan City. It had only been half a year since he arrived, and he was gathered to listen to this lecture.

Only then did these prisoners know that the master of the Great Qin Empire had changed. The master of the empire, King Qin Yingzheng, who had frightened the six countries, had passed away, and the second emperor of Qin was now in power.

The generals of Qin State would not let these prisoners eat free rice.These prisoners had all endured ten years of hard labor.

Therefore, the faces of these prisoners were all sallow, and some even had black faces and bitter expressions.They were not even as good as the horses under the Qin soldiers. Even the last bit of strength in their bodies was squeezed out, but they could not get a full meal.

The generals will ensure that they have food, but they will never let them eat enough.As long as they don't starve to death, if they have to meet the deadline, they won't even think about feeding them, but will try every means to drive them away with a whip.So there will be scenes all over the world of those fat and strong soldiers of the Qin State holding whips to drive away these prisoners who have suffered from hard labor and have sallow complexions.

These prisoners have suffered from years of hard labor, and each one has been tortured to the point of exhaustion. Even the most basic desires have been lost, and all of them are depressed.

When Wei Tong led the Handan County garrison, county guards, county officials and others to lecture, everyone lowered their heads obediently, and everyone had the same expression - indifferent, until Wei Tong explained that the emperor wanted to pardon their sentences. As disciples, these people's eyes suddenly shone brightly.

There was only one person, and his expression was always one of resistance and resistance.Not only that, but his eyes are very bright, which makes his temperament stand out among these people.

Even though his clothes were in rags, even though he was sallow and thin, he still had an aura about him.And all the dissatisfaction in his eyes was in his eyes.

Wei Tong hates his eyes.

Because his eyes conveyed dissatisfaction with him.

When Wei Tong's sword pointed at the center of his eyebrows, fear naturally filled Chen She's eyes.

Chen She opened his mouth three times and closed it twice, but he could not utter a single word.

Wei Tong said angrily:

"ignorance!"

Then Wei Tong withdrew his sword, turned his horse's head, and continued to lecture the thousands of common people.

"When His Majesty personally orders the pardon, you should all raise your hands high and pray together to thank His Majesty for your grace. If you say that Your Majesty has a good life, he is the true emperor."

"After finishing speaking, you have to roll up your sleeves and weep to express your gratitude to His Majesty."

"When His Majesty's carriage leaves, you all have to compete to say that you want to see His Majesty off, and then follow the carriage."

After saying everything, Wei Tong looked around again and asked:
"Is everything clear?"

"Clear……"

A few people who knew the current affairs spit out a few words from their throats, but they were very faint, like the last words of a dying person.

After Weitong heard it, he naturally didn't like it.

"Louder, where's your strength?"

"Clear."

At this time, Wei Tong finally saw that half of the people opened their mouths.

Then Wei Tong said:
"Louder!"

This time the prisoners' voices were indeed louder, but Wei Tong was still dissatisfied.

How can such a call make His Majesty happy?

Wei Tong naturally frowned.

"You people are all about to receive His Majesty's favor. If your words make His Majesty the Emperor happy tomorrow, then I will reward you heavily afterwards."

After hearing these words, Chen She asked:

"If we satisfy Emperor Qin tomorrow, can we have a full meal?"

After Wei Tong heard this, he was stunned on the spot, staring blankly at the dejected heads.

What a simple request!

But for people like Chen She, it is such a luxury.

Wei Tong looked behind him, and the county guard nodded first.

"Okay! I will promise you this."

As soon as the satellite call ended, the prisoners' faces showed smiles.Then there was a burst of noise among the prisoners.

"We can have enough to eat!"

The iron chains that tied their ankles like dogs rang together. They were in a valley. The iron chains rang together, suddenly alerting the guards of the Qin State.They originally stood here like lions sleeping in the afternoon, and these prisoners were like sheep in the sheepfold.Suddenly, their stern and vigilant eyes were all directed at the prisoners, and the lions who had been sleeping in the afternoon woke up.This quickly made the prisoners dare not speak anymore, and calm returned to the valley.

But just when everything was calm again, and a smile appeared on Wei Tong's face, another voice came from the prisoner army.

"Thank you, General!"

Wei Tong wanted to drive his horse away from here, but he was stunned by these words.

Wei Tong looked at him sharply.

"What's your name?"

"Chen Sheng, Zi She."

"Where are you from?"

"A native of Yangcheng, Yingchuan County."

[The Spring and Autumn Period was the city of Zheng Guo.In the Qin Dynasty, Yangcheng County was established and belonged to Yingchuan County.The ancient city is located in the southeast of Dengfeng City, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and is named after Yangcheng Mountain within the territory. 】

"Yingchuan?"

"Exactly."

Weitong asked again:
"Do the prisoners here treat you well?"

Chen She looked around and said:

"Here, I only know the fellow villagers who came with me, not anyone else."

Wei Tong rode a tall black horse, which seemed to be as surprised by the man in front of him as its owner.

The black horse stood still, and groups of ragged people were reflected in its big eyes, while Chen She's eyes shone sharply like two knives.

Wei Tong looked at the county guard on the left and then at the garrison on the right.

"That's strange. Since you don't know them, why do you ask for a full meal for them?"

Chen She said:
"The people who came here include people from Chu, Wei, Zhao, South Korea, and Yan. We were all punished by the heavens and forced to come here to mine. The origins may be different, but we all have unfortunate experiences. Encounter. We have been prisoners for many years, and we rarely have a full meal. So we ask for it together."

After hearing this, Wei Tong looked up to the sky and laughed.

"You are the same person as them, just a villain. And you actually sympathize with other people? What's the reason for this?"

[Villain: A person of humble status. 】

Chen She naturally started to frown after hearing this.

"It may not be that I am a villain today, but I will still be a villain tomorrow. It may not be that I am a villain in life, but I cannot have ambitions of being a grown-up. I have heard from experts that my talents will be useful if I am born, so don't bully young people into poverty."

These words shocked everyone present.

Weitong looked at the person in front of him in surprise.

"What a great Chen She! I think you will have great fortunes in the future. Do you know who the master you are talking about is?"

"It is said that he is a prince of Qin."

Wei Tong laughed even more when he heard this. The laughter was so loud that even the horse felt that his master was a little crazy, so he raised his front hooves and beat the ground.

Wei Tong touched the horse's hair, and then the black horse calmed down.

In Chen She's eyes, this Wei Tong was not a gentle-tempered person.If the general next to him encountered this situation, he would definitely hit the horse's head hard with a whip.

But Satcom is not.

"Let me tell you, the person who said this is today's Lord Dongyang in the past. I am curious, how did you know what your Majesty said today?"

Chen She was surprised. He had thought that if he became famous one day, he would visit this person in person, but he did not expect that this person was actually the current emperor.

emperor--

For Chen She, this is the distance between heaven and earth.

"I heard it too."

Wei Tong listened, but was a little dissatisfied.

"Have you ever heard His Majesty's homecoming song?"

Chen She shook his head.

"You are about to be pardoned. Go find a scholar and ask about it later."

After saying this, Wei Tong turned around and left with the county guard and generals.

On the way out, the Sheriff of Handan County stroked his beard and asked:

"Wei Jun seems to be very interested in that person named Chen She?"

"This man, if we let him go, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

"What can a person who is a prisoner do?"

"A person who has food and only wants to eat for himself is nothing but a mediocre person. But a person who wants to beg for food for everyone will get the support of everyone."

"But he is just a prisoner. Even if he gets a new certificate in the future, what big waves can he make?"

Wei Tong waved his hand.

"You can't say that. We are all born as common people, and we have reached our current status because of our military exploits. In the final analysis, these common people are almost the same as princes, but the difference in environment prevents them from having access to books for a long time, and they cannot make Rational thinking. Some people live at the wrong time and can only stay in one place for the rest of their lives, and gain nothing in the end."

These words spoke to the hearts of the generals stationed in Handan.

The governor of Handan County said:

"People should still work hard for themselves. The environment may be different, but if you are unwilling to change, you will only be able to keep spinning in the same place for the rest of your life."

"Should be so, should be so~"

"Your Majesty is the person I admire very much in my heart. Since Yao and Shun, there has never been a wise king in the world. Only your Majesty is willing to think about the livelihood of the people in the world. Not long after His Majesty came to the throne, he was in the middle of the country. Reduce taxes so that the people outside Hangu Pass can have the same low taxes as the people inside the pass. This move has attracted people all over the world to praise His Majesty the Emperor."

"Not only that, His Majesty also took the lead in cutting expenses in the palace. His Majesty not only pardoned the prisoners who built the mausoleum, but also pardoned the maidservants in the palace. There are about ten thousand people, and even allowed them to marry the prisoners."

"These things are truly beneficial to the people. Now the world is really at peace, and good days for the people are coming."

"We, Weitong, strongly agree with His Majesty the Emperor's new reform policy. His Majesty the Emperor will surely make lasting contributions."

The governor of Handan County heard this and said:

"Yes, since Yao and Shun, there have indeed been very few sage kings. But is it really okay to rashly establish Confucianism?"

"Confucianism, Taoism and legalism, in my opinion, the key is to benefit the people. If Confucianism and Taoism can really calm the people of the six countries to quell the resentment towards Qin, then Confucianism and Taoism are naturally worth establishing."

"Mr. Wei's foresight made me wait for the enlightenment. We were all the ministers that the late emperor trusted very much, so the late emperor gave Handan County, the hinterland of the old Zhao Dynasty, to our care. But after all, Handan County is outside the pass, far away from Xianyang. It's only two days' journey at least. We can only hear some news about Xianyang. We can't discuss it with the ministers in the court, and we can't hear the reasons. We would like to thank Wei Jun for explaining it to us. reasons."

Does such an obvious thing need to be explained?
The policies issued by His Majesty the Emperor are for the benefit of the people.

These people say these things just to compliment me.

Guardian channel:

"Your Majesty will arrive at Handan City tomorrow. Your Majesty came to Handan in person just to see you two. This shows the status of the two of you in His Majesty's mind. Wei Tong and I are just a Zuo Shu chief who has just been promoted by Your Majesty. I can be free with you two. To express my admiration for His Majesty, that can be said to be my luck."

The general stationed in Handan smiled and said:

"Where is it? A person like Duke Wei who can please His Majesty can teach us. This is a blessing for both of us. I also ask Lord Wei to say a few kind words for the two of us tomorrow." .”

"That's for sure."

The general thought for a long time and decided to tell the truth.

"But now we have one more important thing to report to Duke Wei."

"Let's talk."

"This Handan County was originally the capital of the State of Zhao. Most of the people in the country are the people of the original State of Zhao. This State of Zhao has enmity with our State of Qin. And in this Handan City, there are many Zhao people who are dissatisfied with our Qin people. Although they seem to be obedient to us on the surface, their appearance is martingale, but their hearts are not submissive. In this Handan city, there is a man named Zhao Xie, he is the patriarch of the Zhao family."

"Since the death of the King of Zhao, the Zhao people have become more and more respectful to the leader of the Zhao Kingdom. Although Zhao Xie has no king, he has thousands of hectares of farmland in his hands, and he has thousands of farm servants under his command. There are hundreds of followers. According to our detectives, this person is raising dead soldiers in private, with a number of thousands of people. Not only that, half of the Zhao country admires Zhao Xie very much."

"We suspect that he has evil intentions. Earlier, His Majesty the Emperor ordered Dr. Yang to be the governor, went to the three counties of Qidi to suppress, hunted down and strangled many powerful landlords of the Tian family, and hung their heads in front of the city gate to warn everyone. But This country, especially this country of Zhao, has a large number of refugees and chivalrous men, if Lord Wei had not been ordered to hunt down the refugees, Zhao's land might not be so stable now."
