Daqin Engineers

Chapter 98

In fact, there is not much difference between surrendering and not surrendering.

Because it was impossible for Wang Jian to spare them lightly during this extraordinary period, he had to "kill the chicken and the monkey."

So early the next morning, the notices were posted one by one.

The bandits were all locked up in the prison cars and drove into the street...there were more than three hundred celebrities bandits, and the cars were lined up in a long line.

What Wang Jian wants is exactly this effect, so as to threaten the people who are still careful.

In front of the convoy, hundreds of heavily armed Qin troops cleared the way. Soldiers banged the gong and shouted:

"The bandits do evil, parade in public!"

"Prohibition laws and regulations, self-contained!"

...

The team went around the main road in Handan city three times before escorting the prisoner to Caishikou.

Shen Bing didn't want to see this scene.

But because he and Zhang Xuan caught these bandits, they had to come in person.

The scene was scary:

Thirty people in each group were kneeling, and thirty executioners stood behind them, giving orders to wave their bronze swords... Dozens of heads rolled down steadily, and blood rushed out from the broken necks like a fountain.

Then there was another batch, and then another batch...just like slaughtering animals.

Soon the corpses were piled up into a hill, and the heads with various painful expressions on their faces were carried to the side in a basket, and then tied up with twine one by one.

This is the ancient "lord's first show to the public".

Usually it takes three days to hang on, just like the Qin Jun has to show the public for three days to verify it when he uses the enemy's first argument.

This is not over yet.

These bandits have confessed all the people who helped them after a night of torture.

Qin Lv talked about reunion, so more than two thousand people were involved in this arrest.

Fortunately, these people, except for dozens of people who directly took in the gangsters, are all being used as hard labor.

But this is not "lucky" because what awaits them will be fatigue, hunger and death.

Shen Bing couldn't bear it. After all, most of these people were just implicated, and quite a few didn't even know.

However, he was helpless.

This is the rule of this era. If you want to survive, you can only follow it.

All Shen Bing can do is another wave of "propaganda offensive."

This time the "propaganda offensive" has been slightly changed.

The same is the delivery of food, but the content has to be reported in time if there are suspicious circumstances, which is the so-called "accusation of rape."

Qin law stipulates that only by proactively sue the traitor can you avoid being implicated in "sit together".

This is Enwei's two-pronged approach, and it will soon have an effect...Soon, a lot of gossips will spread.

At the same time, when Shen Bing and others used the strategy of "lead the snake out of the hole", no people would be fooled.

At this time, the common people also knew that this was the "fishing law enforcement" by the Qin army, and there was nothing to say if they would still be fooled.

On the fifth day, Ying Zheng's approval rushed from Xianyang to Handan.

As expected, Ying Zheng simply agreed to the tax reduction proposal.

Ying Zheng has no reason to disagree:

Instability of the people and insufficient military strength are likely to be the loss of the three counties. Compared with this, levying less tax is nothing at all.

What's more, the reason why Yingzheng had exempted heavy taxes was because he hoped to collect more food next year.

Now that the drought is cured, it can be expected to be a bumper year, so why bother yourself?

What Shen Bing didn't know was that Ying Zheng even praised him severely after knowing that Shen Bing had made a water truck and overturned.

That was what Wang Jian said a few days ago when he reported to Yingzheng on the drought management situation.

Wang Jian didn't specify his name, only "artillery engineer" instead.

This is the practice of reporting to Xianyang, because if the little person is specific to the point that the name doesn't make much sense, the king doesn't know which one it is.

But Ying Zheng understood it.

"Artillery engineer? Isn't it Shen Bing?"

"Well, you Shen Bing, not only can you make good things such as stone mills, but you can also make waterwheels and rollovers."

"This relieves the worries of widows!"

Ying Zheng took the bamboo slip and laughed.

He had previously hoped that Xu Ying could manage the drought. He didn't expect to inadvertently cut the willows into the shadows. Xu Ying did not play a role but Shen Bing solved the problem.

These days, Ying Zheng is broken for the three counties.

Grain transportation, drought, household registration, gangsters, popular support...

Until this moment, he dared to breathe a sigh of relief, because the most important and difficult problem was solved.

Yingzheng's thinking is right. Only when the drought conditions improve, will people's hearts be stable, and then other problems will be solved.

Then Ying Zheng exclaimed:

"The waterwheel and the overturned car are more than the benefit of the three counties."

"From now on, all Qin districts can use water trucks and dump trucks to dump fields."

"Why don't you worry about the Four Kingdoms?"

Ying Zheng also said that according to the old farming method, Takata can only carry water with clay pots.

But with the overturn, the water can be drawn up layer by layer and very fast.

So no matter how high the field is, there is no need to worry about water use.

Where there is water, there is food.

You can fight if you have food.

Can fight... With the strength of Qin's army, are you still worried about not being able to defeat the four countries?

Thinking that Ying Zheng was Long Xin Dayue here, then he asked Zhao Gao beside him:

"The scallion pancake hasn't been made yet?"

Zhao Gao hurriedly paid careful attention:

"My lord, Shi Cai has already gone to the dining room to ask."

"The chef still doesn't know how to make that scallion pancake..."

Ying Zheng "humph":

"A bunch of trash!"

At the same time, I regretted it.

When he left Handan, it was not difficult to just say that this scallion pancake was not difficult. Shen Bing could do that as a royal cook, so he didn't ask the method carefully.

After I didn't want to come back, no matter how much the royal chef tried, he couldn't divide such thin scallion pancakes into several layers.

Although it is also crispy, the taste is much worse, and it does not have the unique fragrance made by Shen Bing.

Thinking of this Yingzheng, he sighed.

Handan is the place that brought him countless nightmares and the place he hated.

If it weren't for revenge, Yingzheng would not have stepped into Handan at all.

However, at this time, he found that he missed Handan a little.

A few days later, another memorial came in Handan, which was a tax cut, and "artillery workers" appeared again.

Ying Zheng couldn't help being stunned:

"This Shen Bing is not only exquisite woodwork, but also knows how to defend the city!"

"Quality."

"But I don't know what else this engineer can do?"

After that, he didn't think much about it, and immediately agreed to tax cuts and rushed back to Handan.

As soon as the tax cut news reaches Wang Jian, the three counties will be announced.

This is like reassurance, confirming that the lives of the people in the three counties will not be bad in the future.

Because everyone will calculate in their hearts:

The drought can be cured by the method of substituting the field, which will be tax-free next year.

What needs to be paid is nothing more than the tax on rented grain, and it is reduced to one tax.

Does that still need to be considered?

Working hard this year will definitely have a large amount of surplus grain next year.

The people are for food!

In addition, Shen Bing launched another wave of "propaganda offensive."

In Handan, the trend of renting grain crops for farming soon began, and grain crops were in short supply.

But this is of course a good thing.

Because the official fear is that the people have nothing to do.

Once the people have nothing to do or endure hunger, they will be criminals thinking of rebellion.

If you live and work in peace and prosperity, whoever has nothing to do will go to risk.
