……

The next morning, Qin Shi Huang did not inquire about the situation of the southeast rebels and the affairs of the court, but issued an order that stunned the Manchu civil and military, that is, to carry out a nationwide severe crackdown and purge, targeting those local ruffians and chivalrous who had nothing to do all day and acted as traitors and knights who disobeyed the law.

As soon as this order came out, the court was in an uproar, but the matter received the first response and support from Li Si.

Since ancient times, those who have violated the law and discipline are all these chivalrous people, and chivalry is the eye-catching sign given by the Legalists to these classes who like to fight and trample on the laws and regulations everywhere, and the chivalrous Mojia is the first to be attacked.

Although the Mo family has collapsed, due to the great prestige and foundation of the Mo family among the people, it has brought about the prevalence of chivalry in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and these people are the biggest obstacle to the implementation and promotion of the law.

"There are bandits in the pass, Ji Bu, three months ago in Hangu Pass ambushed the Qinghe Hou, almost made my Daqin lose the protection of the immortal family, so banditry is rampant, how can I let the people of the world enjoy peace and tranquility, Lang Lang Qiankun, I will not allow these bandits to trample on the law, pass on the edict, spread the word, spread the word to all the counties and counties of Daqin, and arrest and imprison those who violated the law and discipline in the past, those who disregarded the law, those who committed adultery, those who oppressed the civilians, and all those who raped, robbed, plundered and injured people's lives were beheaded and shown to the public, and the rest were severely punished in accordance with the criminal law. If there are officials who bend the law for personal gain and connive at bandits, they will inevitably be guilty of the same crime as bandits......"

"Your Majesty, there is no shirk in severely punishing rangers and ruffians, but since then, I am afraid that the prisons in various places will be overcrowded, and it is not trivial to spend money and food every day, and please ask Your Majesty to show me how to deal with it!" Feng stood up.

He doesn't care if he fights the ranger idler or something, Li Siding's post is also reasonable, because since ancient times, the law and the chivalrous have been incompatible, but as long as the emperor's edict comes out of the world, it will inevitably shake, and the arrested ranger idlers will definitely not be a very small number, because the attack is too wide, in addition to the people who may have violated the law and discipline in the past, there are also a large number of ruffians and hooligans among them, and the number of ruffians and hooligans is not known in Xianyang alone, and many people wander the streets all day long without doing anything to cause trouble. Even if he was caught by the lieutenant's office, it was just a painless punishment, at most he was fined a little money or a few lashes and released, and after a few days, he returned to his original appearance and continued to wander the streets, the crime was too light to meet the standard of imprisonment, and it was not enough to send him to Xiulishan Mausoleum, because most of Lishan were heavy sentences or even death sentences.

And once an all-round attack is launched according to the emperor's order, then the number of people arrested in the end may exceed 100,000, and these people will inevitably have to be provided with food and drink by the imperial court if they become criminals, which is not a small amount, and in the end all of them will fall on the head of his Shangshu Province.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, pinched his beard and was silent for a moment, his eyes swept over the court, "Do you Aiqing have a good way?" ”

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty stared at each other with big eyes.

The emperor gave an order, and the minister was going to run and break his leg, there was no way, but according to Feng Quji's idea, these people were no problem to catch, but they couldn't eat and drink in vain, and after studying with Chen Xu for three or four years, Feng Quji had begun to be less innocent, but full of resentment for money and food, only willing to go in and not out, and it was okay to go out, but it couldn't be wasted.

"Your Majesty, at present, all counties and counties are demanding the construction of flat concrete roads, and the minister thinks that these ruffians are just right!" The Ministry of Industry made Jae Hong stand up excitedly.

"Hey, the Ministry of Slaughter and Labor is right, and all these captured ruffians were sent to repair roads, which just solved the embarrassment of the lack of people a few days ago!" The internal history made Qi Tang echo in unison.

"Your Majesty, since last year, all counties have sent a large number of books, asking for the construction of cement roads connecting counties across the country, Your Majesty has also been asking to start planning to build a new road with cement, this matter has been delayed for a whole year, now it can be started to be implemented throughout the country, with these captured ranger ruffians to build roads, so that the problem of shortage of manpower can be solved, and money and food will not be wasted!" Tobe ordered Gao Teng to stand up and surrender his hand.

"Gao Hubu is right, how can these idlers raise and waste food in vain, and it is best to send them to build roads!"

"This is the most appropriate intention, and the ministers seconded it!" Huhula la, the court stood up and pressed a large number of impure-hearted officials.

"Since you Aiqing agree with this policy, then the edict will be quickly disseminated to the counties, counties and towns across the country, and the Ministry of Industry will quickly cooperate with the Academy of Sciences to complete the planning of the roads and roads that need to be rebuilt cement roads, and then they can be submitted to the Zhongshu Province for review and promulgation to start construction, and the money and grain required for the construction of roads will be at the disposal of the local county tax warehouse, and the merchants who participate in the contracting of road construction can have their commercial taxes halved..."

The next day, a news of the Strike Hard Strike, which terrified the hearts of the world's chivalrous and idle ruffians, was published on the front page of the Daqin Metropolis Daily in bold bold letters, along with the emperor's edict to eliminate the bandits.

Almost at the same time, the officials of the six departments of the three provinces have also begun to make arrangements for the strike-hard, and the military department and the criminal department are the main body responsible for the strike-hard, and a large number of orders have been transmitted from the two offices through the post guards and the forbidden army, and the Guanzhong, which has just calmed down, bears the brunt, and a large number of soldiers and police officers from the county government scouts rode out in all directions, holding the documents of the county government and the arrest list to start a new round of arrests. There are many checkpoints in various places, and once they are found to have inconsistent identities, behaviors and evasions, and vague words, they are all arrested and imprisoned on the spot, and then put into prison after a simple interrogation, and for a time the prisons are overcrowded.

The arrest of Guanzhong also began to spread to the whole country with the continuous dissemination of edicts and newspapers, and because of this move that conformed to the will of the people, ordinary people everywhere applauded, and the ordinary people who were usually bullied by local ruffians and hooligans enthusiastically went to the local government office to report the hiding, and many people were arrested from the hiding place.

As long as there is a brawl and robbery on weekdays, it will be directly punished after being verified by local officials, so that these people cannot hide with eye-catching marks, and they will be recognized wherever they run, as for the punishment of rape, robbery and injury on weekdays is more severe, and they will be directly confirmed as a repeat offender by cutting off a finger, and the sentence will be at least five years or more.

Under the severe crackdown, the world shook.

But it was not chaos, but the celebration of the whole people under the suppression of this terror, not only the common people and civilians all over the country enthusiastically supported, and even beat gongs and drums to the county government to thank the local officials, and there were countless celebrities from all over the country to praise the move to Xianyang to praise the emperor's merits, and many thanks were sent to the newspaper and published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily.

At the same time of the crackdown, the Ministry of Industry on the construction of the national cement road and the county road planning has also been released, some roads that can be started to be built published in the Daqin Metropolis Daily to launch the national bidding, since the Dongfang Road repaired after a whole year of businessmen suddenly excited, especially the counties and counties of the cement manufacturers, all excited tears, now the cement factory fired by the cement factory has long filled the warehouse, although from a variety of gossip to know that the emperor sooner or later will build the country's cement road, but as long as one day is not repaired, These cements are useless for a day, and the storage is not good and will fail to cause huge losses and waste, so after seeing the news in the newspaper, almost all the country's businessmen have heard the news and moved to the local government office to inquire about the news, and the officials in various places have been waiting anxiously, and after negotiating the bidding matter, the arrested prisoners will be pushed to these construction teams, and then the heart is relieved.

A round of infrastructure construction that swept the entire Great Qin officially kicked off in the cold winter of the 31st year of the First Emperor.

This round of massive infrastructure construction will last for ten years or more, and will also lay a solid foundation for Daqin's future economic prosperity.

The School of Engineering of the Academy of Sciences controlled by Chen Xu has become the main promoter of this round of infrastructure, and a large number of craftsmen and craftsmen and students have spread the construction and acceptance of the national guidance roads, and Huaxia Qianzhuang has once again become the main body of intermediaries.

At the end of November, a piece of good news came from the south that excited the court.

Tongwu Marquis Wang Ben led the army to seize the three county towns of Wushu Taimo and Yujiang one after another, and beheaded the bandit Xiang Liang, and at the same time, the general of Da Yuling also led 30,000 soldiers to take Luling County in two ways to cut off the route of the rebels to flee to the southwest, and the Xiang rebels abandoned Poyang County and retreated to the northwest, but the people were already panicked like a lost dog, and there were already fights within the rebels, and some leaders turned against the imperial army and surrendered.

"Haha, the day of the rebels' demise is not far off!" When the First Emperor got the news, he swept away his usual majesty and laughed excitedly in the court.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also made sycophants, sang praises of virtue and praised the emperor's wisdom and martial arts.

It's not that the emperor is happy, but this incident is a bit of a big blow to the emperor, the six countries have been swept away, and a small group of rebels actually made him lose a general and thousands of soldiers, not to mention, and it has also caused trouble in the entire southeastern counties for several months, and it is only recently that it has been almost completely pacified, and the rebels have occupied five county towns and the local damage is very serious, almost all the officials and lieutenants and police officers in several counties have been killed, and the people have also suffered heavy casualties, not to mention the economic mess, and the local people are also panicking.

According to Wang Ben's military report, it is only in the recent period that the fleeing rebels have been exterminated.
