"King!" Yan Lingjun saw that the king of Chu had made up his mind, and the prohibition of arresting thieves in northern Han within two years was a foregone conclusion.

So, he arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister has a question, I don't know how the king asked the place to distinguish the people who have encountered war from the thieves who existed before. These thieves come in groups, and they go around committing crimes, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. If these people take the opportunity to blend in with the people, they will not only be confused, but will also evade the punishment of the law.

Please think twice! ”

As soon as Yilingjun's voice fell, Qu Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he was secretly anxious in his heart: distinguish, how to distinguish, as long as the people are caught by the nobles, when the time comes, who can tell that they are thieves? Or a refugee?

What's even more terrifying is that if the news of the people spreads from all over Hanbei, and then the private soldiers of the nobles lay in ambush on the way to various places, quietly arresting the people attracted by the resettlement policy.

In this way, when the people in front of them never returned, they were all arrested by the nobles in the name of thieves, and they would inevitably think that this was the fact that the Chu State was using resettlement as bait to arrest them.

In this way, the people in northern Hanbei cannot win the trust of the people, and how will the changes in northern Hanbei unfold next?

Thinking of this, Qu Yuan hurriedly saluted and said, "The king..."

At this time, Xiong Huai also communicated with the so-called distinguishing thieves, which has a great room for maneuver, and the nobles have a great possibility of profiting from it, and this is to harm the interests of the country to enrich themselves.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai was secretly annoyed in his heart, and after a little thought in his heart, he thought of a way to crack it.

Then he glanced at Yan Lingjun and said secretly: The widow didn't want to move the knife all over the country at once, but now, this is forced.

At this time, Xiong Huai saw Qu Yuan speak, first interrupted Qu Yuan's words, and then slowly said: "Yan Lingjun doesn't have to worry about this, the second thing the widow will say next is how to distinguish between homeless people and thieves!" ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Actually, this matter is easy to solve, since it is difficult to distinguish between refugees and thieves, then there is no need to distinguish between them." ”

"Don't tell? This..." When Yan Lingjun heard this, he was stunned.

It turned out that when he saw Qu Yuan speak, he also wanted to give others a look, besiege Qu Yuan together, and then separate the displaced people from the people, while secretly profiting.

No, the king of Chu didn't even plan to distinguish the thieves.

At this time, Xiong Huai groaned for a while under the puzzled eyes of the ministers, and said: "Not long ago, Taibu said that the widow would amnesty the world with auspicious things, and the widow thought it was true. Therefore, the widow intends to take advantage of today's sacrifice to the gods to officially announce the amnesty of the world and pardon all thieves and criminals in the Chu State. In this way, those who are forced to become thieves will be resettled, and those who are lustful at heart will lose their wings, and the bands of thieves who roam the countryside will be weakened.

Wouldn't it be easier for the country to catch thieves in the future? ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers and asked, "I don't know what you think of such a number of things in one fell swoop." ”

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, but no one objected for a while.

This amnesty was originally the result of the previous activities of Yilingjun and others, the purpose was to rescue Jiulijun and them, so that their clansmen would not really be demoted to concubines and exiled to Dongting.

Now, although Yilingjun and others are dead, and Jiulijun and other Terrans have also been exiled to Dongting. However, now it is not only Jiulijun whose friends want to exempt Jiulijun's people from the status of commoners, and strive to make them a commoner.

At this time, there are also the sons of Yilingjun and their sons who will also carry out the rescue, calculate the time, the sons of Yilingjun and others have either fled, or they are already on the way to Yingdu.

At this moment, the king of Chu decided to grant amnesty to the world, which was their best chance.

In this case, how can they speak out against amnesty?

What's more, the matter of separating thieves has nothing to do with most nobles, and the interests that have the greatest relationship are Yan Lingjun and others who are close to the North Pole of the Han Dynasty, and the others can't even drink the soup.

At this time, the doctor Zuo Chang bowed and said: "The king is benevolent and righteous, give the thief a chance to mend his ways, if the thief learns about this, he will definitely feel it forever." ”

After Zuo Cheng spoke, the other ministers immediately reacted, and this opportunity to flatter the King of Chu was actually preempted.

So, they could only echo in unison: "The king is merciful! ”

As soon as Yan Lingjun heard the sound of compliments coming from the hall, he knew in his heart that this good opportunity to capture slaves on a large scale had been lost.

However, fortunately, before he came to Yingdu, he let his division go to Hanbei to capture slaves. Now, less than a month has passed, but I think there are some gains.

Thinking about it, Yan Lingjun regretfully followed everyone to the ground and sang praises to the king of Chu.

After a pause, Xiong Huai saw that all the ministers in the palace agreed with the amnesty of the world, nodded and said: "Since all the ministers are not opposed, then the matter of the amnesty of the world is so decided." ”

"Ling Yin!" Xiong Huai looked at Jing Cui and said: "Later, I will issue an edict to the whole country, announce to all places, release all the people who have been arrested for crimes since the widow ascended the throne, restore the status of ordinary people who have been exiled in various places, and let all the thieves who are placed in various places be counted as the increased population of various places, and they will be assessed and credited in the future." ”

When Jing Cui heard this, he immediately responded: "The minister receives the order!" ”

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Qu Yuan again and said: "Zuo disciple, Qing has been in Xiangyang for many years and is familiar with the affairs of Hanbei, so Xianqing is responsible for handling the matter of resettling the people like this." ”

Qu Yuan immediately bowed his hand and said, "The minister receives the order." ”

After these two things were arranged, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers again and smiled: "Zhuqing, the third thing that the widow wants to say is to fulfill his previous promise. Previously, the countries were about to attack, and the country was in danger, so after the destruction of Yue, although there was money in the Taifu, the widow only returned the principal lent to the widow by the princes, and did not return the promised interest.

Now that the six countries have retreated, they have made peace with the state of Chu, and the country tends to be stable, and there is no worry about swords and soldiers in a short period of time. So, the widow felt that it was time to fulfill his promise. ”

When Taifu Yin Douyou heard this, his face immediately changed.

The king of Chu wants to return the interest, and he has not consulted this matter.

After the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, although there were more than 200,000 gold and many treasures of the Yue Kingdom obtained from the treasury of the Yue State and the treasury of various places, but in the previous year, the return of the principal of 100,000 catties, plus the need for the war has been used for more than 100,000 gold, plus the return of interest of 100,000 gold this time, I am afraid that I will have to transfer money from the Taifu of the Chu State.

Coupled with the tax exemption in the coming year, Taifu can only collect customs duties from various guanyi, so on...

The king of Chu is going to force him to death.

Thinking about it, Dou You's face turned pale and hurriedly saluted: "The king..."

Before he could speak, he was stopped by the King of Chu.

At this time, Xiong Huai shook his head slightly, then looked at the ministers and said: "Later, Zhuqing can take the Taifu to withdraw the corresponding interest, and the widow will never break his word and enrich himself." ”
