"Although revising Qin Law is the top priority, it cannot be completed overnight, and the task I want to give you is to persuade the pawns."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and said.

"Consuade the pawn?"

Ying Zheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, he still needs to be persuaded to descend to the pawn?

In Daqin, a pawn is a slave, and he needs to work day and night, just give him some food.

"Five days ago, we knocked out a group of bandits' cottage and captured hundreds of pawns, we wanted them to be the same as those before them, in the Walled City to accept production and transformation, if they behave well, they can get the identity of the villagers, but they are all dead thieves, not only not afraid of death, but also extremely fierce, extremely difficult to persuade."

Zhao Heng said helplessly.

These hundreds of pawns really gave him a headache, if he wanted to kill them all directly, it was naturally very simple, but it was not very easy to subdue them.

Therefore, he planned to hand over this task to Lao Zhao, and by the way, he would test Lao Zhao's ability.

In Daqin, the dead generally refer to deserters who cheated to death.

If they can be subdued, the walled city will be able to increase by hundreds of elite soldiers.

As for whether they would flee again, Zhao Heng believed that as long as their treatment could keep up, they would be willing to work for the Walled City.

"Little sir, does the Walled City often attack bandits?"

Wang Jian looked at Zhao Heng with a strange look and asked.

"Nature."

Zhao Heng nodded and said: "In the past three years, the bandit cottages that have been knocked out in the Walled City have not been twenty, but also fifteen, so to speak, there are more than 10,000 people in my Walled City today, and most of them are former bandits. ”

"Mr. Xiao, can you know that Qin Law has a rule that if you capture a group of thieves alive, you can be beheaded at the second level, and you can get a bounty and military merits?"

Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Heng at this moment, and his eyes also showed a hint of strangeness.

Since ancient times, how could someone have rebelled like this, not only did not poison the people and lead to military disasters, but also attacked bandits and eliminated harm for the people.

"I naturally know that for me, neither the bounty nor the military exploits are far less important than the population increase of the Walled City."

Zhao Heng smiled and said.

Qin Law does have regulations, and the merit of catching thieves is listed first.

After all, the impact of bandits on social security is too bad.

It is naturally normal to encourage the people to spontaneously round up bandits with heavy rewards.

In the past three years, the bandits he has captured and killed have already exceeded 10,000, and if all of them are exchanged for rewards, not only can he get hundreds of thousands of gold immediately, but he will also be directly sealed as a marquis, and it is estimated that there will be no problem.

It's just that he is really not interested in the feudal marquis of Great Qin, who is already close to extinction.

What's more, not only does he have a portable warehouse, but the Walled City is already basically self-sufficient, and he doesn't need much bounty.

Whether it was three years ago or now, population is the most needed resource in the Walled City.

"Why do you need to be so troublesome, millions of soldiers in Great Qin are all building the Great Wall, repairing the Emperor's Mausoleum, and passing through the road, it is impossible to change in this life, and as for becoming a citizen of Great Qin, there is no possibility."

Wang Jian said directly.

"It's not really advisable."

Zhao Heng shook his head and said: "There are only 30 million people in Daqin, and it is already extremely difficult for those farmers to support a million elite divisions. ”

"What does the little gentleman think?"

Ying Zheng asked Zhao Heng.

"Assimilation!"

Zhao Heng slowly spit out two words from his mouth.

Assimilation?

Ying Zheng and Wang Jian both had a slight twinkle in their eyes, although they were used to Zhao Heng saying a few new words from time to time, they still didn't quite understand what assimilation meant.

"To put it simply, let these pawns integrate into us and become a part of us."

Zhao Heng explained: "Great Qin unified the six countries, although it integrated the land of the six countries, but did not integrate the people of the six countries, but only regarded them as prisoners of war and slaves, and in my opinion, only when the Great Qin integrated the people of the six countries can it be regarded as a real unification." ”

"But if they are exempted from hard labor, who will build the Great Wall, repair the emperor's mausoleum, and build the Afang Palace?"

Ying Zheng frowned.

The Great Wall must not be built, the imperial tomb must also be repaired, and the Afang Palace must be built.

"You can implement the employment system, and when they have money, it can not only improve their living standards and give them a sense of belonging to Daqin, but also stimulate the market economy, and at the same time, distribute land to them, let them engage in production, and reduce the pressure on other farmers."

Zhao Heng groaned for a while and continued: "When my hybrid rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, cocoons, and quyuan ploughs are all promoted to the whole country, the labor problem can be greatly alleviated. ”

Even, after tractors, harvesters, and seeders have been developed, it is entirely possible for one person to raise 100 people.

"In the future, when we send troops to other countries, we can also give them the same treatment, as long as they can obtain military merits, they can also be knighted, why worry about them not returning to their hearts?"

Zhao Heng said with a smile.

In his opinion, whether it is the Qin people or the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms, they are all Huaxia clans, and they should be treated equally.

If you really need slaves, you will not want as many as you want in the future to conquer the Mauryan Empire, Rome and other countries?

"But in this way, isn't it a little unfair to us old Qin people?"

Wang Jian questioned.

"They are both the people of Great Qin, so why should they be divided into the old Qin people and the old people of the Six Kingdoms."

Zhao Heng's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said: "Just imagine, if the old people of the Six Kingdoms can live a stable and prosperous life like the old Qin people, how many people will be willing to follow the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to rebel?" ”

Hearing his words, Ying Zheng and Wang Qian's eyes lit up slightly.

It's not that they can't think of it, it's that they've never thought about it.

In other words, in their eyes, only the old Qin people can be regarded as the real people of Great Qin, and those old people of the Six Kingdoms are just slaves.

Now that Zhao Heng said this, the two of them naturally came to their senses.

The old Qin people are the people of Great Qin, and the old people of the Six Kingdoms are also the people of Great Qin!

They can also be engaged in production, and they can go into battle to kill the enemy.

If you want to conquer the whole world in the future, it is definitely not enough to rely on the old Qin people alone, you must have them to join.

Even, with their joining, the production pressure of the old Qin people, as well as the casualty rate, can also be greatly reduced.

"Sir, I have been taught!"

Ying Zheng's eyes stared at Zhao Heng, and then bowed.

At this time, his title to Zhao Heng has changed again, although it is only a small word missing, it is enough to show that Zhao Heng's weight in his heart is heavier than before.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qian's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

How could Your Majesty ever be like this? Even if it is Prime Minister Li Si, at most, His Majesty can only call Li Xiang.

Wang Jian can be sure that even if Mr. Xiao is not accepted as prime minister in the future, His Majesty will definitely regard him as the emperor's teacher.
