Chapter 506

As for the public security in the town, it was not people like Zhao Qi who touched the town the most, but the people.

in the past.

Be careful when going out.

Thief.

bully.

bastard.

…

None of them are easy to mess with.

Girls had to cover their faces when they went to the street, and it was hard to avoid being harassed. The mountains were high and the emperor was far away.

Even if it's a big case, you can still settle it with a little money.

In the old dynasties, when people encountered such things, they had nowhere to sue, and had no choice but to swallow.

Some people are angry and choose to end their lives, feeling that they are living too uselessly.

And now.

The group of people were all arrested, and the verdict was posted at the gate of the town.

unambiguous evidence.

Quick trial.

Many of the heinous people were all beheaded.

--- Cut the decision!

Other criminals who committed lesser crimes also received not short sentences.

It's so satisfying!

Now, I can finally walk with my head up, and those who have daughters dare to go out alone. It feels like a different dynasty, but a different world.

. . .

Just when Zhao Qi was delivering contracts from door to door.

hundreds of miles away.

In a huge valley.

clang!

clang!

…

A group of people were beating the stones, and the big stones were only as big as fists. Many people couldn't bear it, but they still kept crying while knocking on the stones.

no way.

If you don't knock enough, there will be less food.

For a bite to eat, I endure.

want to cry!

If I knew it earlier, I would have run away first. How could they be retried by the new dynasty and old cases like this, and each of them became a prisoner and sentenced to an indefinite number of years of hard labor.

The only fortunate thing is that compared to those who were beheaded, I still have life and can breathe.

I just feel that I have been judged a bit harshly.

Theft, from one year.

Robbery, starting from three years.

And in this quarry, most of them are of this type.

As for felons?

Prisoners who have been decapitated and over ten years are all in another place that is more secure. I don't know exactly where, but life will not be easy anyway.

Woohoo!

Damn!

I really want to escape, I want to be as free as the wind.

But look around, surrounded by mountains, there is only one opening to go out, and it is strictly guarded. It is not too difficult to escape from the prison.

Besides, even if you escape, what about the iron ring in your hand?

Unless the hand is chopped off, it can't be taken off at all, and it will be recognized as soon as it goes out.

However, compared to the previous ironing, the bracelet is better, and it won't last a lifetime.

Jingle bells and sugar palms, time is so slow.

Ten at noon.

A bell rang, and everyone was shocked: dinner is about to be served!

Holding the rice bowl, queuing up to get food, while eating, feeling bitter at the same time.

Woohoo!

It's so unpalatable!

Omg this meal will be years to go.

Many people have made up their minds that once the term expires, they will not want to come back even if they are killed. They are simply not treated as human beings here.

To be finished.

All are brought together to study intensively.

What to study?

Of course, it is the criminal law of the new dynasty, which focuses on common crimes and punishments.

Learning requirements: know how to memorize!

"..."

"One year is the basic punishment if the financial amount stolen in a single case is more than ten taels. For every additional ten taels, the sentence will be increased by one year. If it is less than ten taels, according to..."

"..."

"Single robbery with a financial amount of more than ten taels of silver, three years as the basic punishment, for each increase of ten taels, the sentence will be increased by one year, and if it is less than ten taels, secretly photographed..."

"..."

"Forcibly having sex against a woman's will, five years is the basic punishment... Among them, if the other party is younger than... ten years is the basic punishment..."

"If the circumstances are bad, they shall be sentenced to life imprisonment, hard labor and castration, up to beheading."

"..."

The guard said it once, and then he said it again, with a loud voice.

While reading the law, many people have fear on their faces.

ruthless!

Lifetime imprisonment is fine, but 'and' means that no matter life imprisonment or hard labor, you have to say goodbye to your little partner.

Waving goodbye, there is no possibility of meeting again.

It's terrible to think about it, worse than death.

At this time, many people couldn't help but think of many people who were arrested together who used to hang out together. In order to reduce their sentences, they almost confessed what they knew.

In this way.

Forehead!

It is estimated that many people who know him have already joined the ranks of eunuchs!

Thinking about it this way, my calves were trembling. Fortunately, we were timid and didn't dare to participate at that time.

Otherwise... it's really going to be over, it's scary!

. . .

afternoon.

Sangou Town.

Zhao Qi followed the guard to the nearest village. He and the soldiers who followed were holding a bundle of wooden sticks, with thick thumbs and pointed ends, and the lengths could reach the waist.

Under the notice of the village chief, a large number of people gathered, their eyes burning.

Wait until almost there.

"It doesn't matter where it is today."

Just listening to the guard's words, the people below were stunned.

What? Regardless?

wrong.

What the guard said was: no distinction today.

"The current land is very irregular, not conducive to distribution, and not beautiful. Therefore, some changes need to be made to the existing land before the land is divided."

"Oda merged into Daejeon."

"..."

After some explanation, the common people understood that it was so.

Too.

The land in the village is indeed like this. Not to mention scattered, it is irregular. If it can be combined into a large field and divided among hands, it will be more convenient for everyone to cultivate.

Of course no one has an opinion.

Then, the guard led the ordinary people to the field.

"This field ridge, dig it out."

"yes!"

"..."

"From here to the top of the mountain, fill in a road."

At the foot of a small hill, two wooden sticks were nailed into the soil. On the slope of the hill, the fields were scattered in a mess. If you want to go up, you have to turn a lot of detours.

In the past, there was no way, because it would occupy other people's fields.

In the countryside, many times the land that is one palm wide can be beaten up.

"The Tao should be cultivated in this way...in the future it will be replaced by a stone road."

"slate?"

The villagers clicked their tongues.

A road up the mountain should be paved with stone slabs, what a luxury!

"The imperial court paid for it?" the village head asked nervously.

"certainly."

The guard nodded.

"This has been reported to the village and town planning, and the cost of replacing it with stone slabs will be borne by Xinchao, but it will not work this year, because too many materials are used, and it will be on other mountains."

Pointing to other hillsides in the village, he continued:

"There is a stone road plan, and all villages are the same. As long as it is within the plan, there will be corresponding allocations, and it will definitely be done."

"You don't have to worry."

heard the words.

The people in the village were shocked immediately!

planning?

appropriation?

These words make people feel warm and have a hint of longing.

Zhao Qi on the side also stared round his eyes.

planning?

He knows this, mainly for road construction.

But what's going on with the planning of the stone road in the village, let alone, it sounds very exciting!

Depress and cheer up.

The guardian continued to move forward, and the mentor planned the plan.

"Fill this ditch."

"..."

"This tree, cut down."

"..."

That's really not a big deal until... the Everywhere project comes along.

"What?"

"It takes so much plowing to build roads?"

"Is it still this wide?"

"..."

The common people were amazed that the village-to-village project mentioned by the guard did not take the original path, but directly passed a large road through a large number of farmlands, which was too wasteful.

"Follow the track I just drew and fill it with soil."

"Fill to the height of the red line of the stick."

"If we use soil, we should use the one under the barren mountain in the north, and some stones should be placed on it. As for the previous path, some places pass through dangerous areas, so it is not suitable."

"The road is wider, and horse-drawn carriages can also enter the village. When we build a house in the future, we don't need people to walk across the mountains to carry the materials. It's a waste of time and it's not safe."

"..."

Even if they had any doubts, the villagers had to listen.

be opposed to? The land has not yet been divided, and there is no one who occupies the land, but the total amount of cultivated land in the village has decreased.

Moreover.

The Lord Guardian seems to be right. Although the small road can be used, it is really narrow and winding. If the road is widened according to the current plan.

Well...it seems pretty good after thinking about it.
