Pei Min and Gongsun You woke up almost at the same time, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Gongsun Yu said: "Go and serve tea to your mother, it's too late to make people laugh." Her motherly cry was very natural.

"Good!" Pei Min also chuckled and got up to freshen up.

Let's go and say hello to Pei's mother.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as a honeymoon holiday, although it was the first day after marriage.

Pei Min still appeared in the office of the Jiedu Envoy Mansion with dedication.

Zhang Jiuling came up as soon as possible, holding a heavy form in his hand, and said, "Pei Shuai, this is the exile quota sent by the state capital and the imperial court, please take a look." ”

Pei Min stretched out his hand to take it with great interest, and when he saw that the quota was about 8,000, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Criminal Department has helped a lot!" ”

Exile was a common criminal law in ancient times.

With the continuous progress and development of the times, more and more attention is paid to human life.

During the Tang and Song dynasties, the criminal law was already very close to humanity and attached great importance to life.

As long as they are not among the ten heinous crimes, most of them can save their lives, and the four punishments of "flogging and cane" are the mainstay, and the death penalty is rarely used.

Originally, this kind of criminal law had nothing to do with Pei Min, but because of the construction of Gaochang Cang, these were connected.

The biggest trouble in building Gaochang Cang is not money, now the Tang Dynasty is not short of money, and the economy is extremely rich.

With the appropriation of the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min is very prestigious in Hexi and Longyou, and the gentry are willing to help with money.

The funding can be said to be fully in place, and the real problem is in the manpower.

In the past, there were large projects in the Tang Dynasty, and the state government was contacted in advance to recruit labor work.

The Chinese Dynasty has always been densely populated, and it is not a problem to recruit 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people during the agricultural slack.

However, Gaochang is located in the Western Regions and is sparsely populated.

The population of the entire Western Regions is less than one million. Moreover, the Western Regions are not all based on farming, and there is no farming.

It was simply impossible to raise enough labor to build the Gaochang warehouse.

It is also impossible for the imperial court to transport the people from the land of Helong to Xizhou to work: is it still the same question, how much labor and material resources do it cost to spend two thousand miles of sand moraine?

It's not a good deal at all.

In response to these situations, Pei Min gave a few ideas here.

pay to recruit laborers from the Western Regions; In a battle with the Turgish, he captured 30,000 Turgish and 30,000 soldiers, which can come in handy, and has been used as labor. Beiting and Xizhou soldiers trained soldiers to carry heavy loads to assist in carrying materials.

The imperial court also cooperated and gave many good policies, but the real effect was the exile proposed by the Criminal Department to confiscate the army.

Gather prisoners from all over the country who are not guilty of heinous crimes, and send them to work in Hexi to atone for their transgressions.

Nearly 50,000 laborers were raised, and the project of Gaochangcang was carried out smoothly.

Pei Min looked at the list, thought of Yang Yuniang's father Yang Xuanyan, and flipped through it, and sure enough, he found Yang Xuanyan's name in the column of prisoners in Shuzhong.

Later, Yang Xuanyan's crimes and criminal laws were also recorded, and he traveled 3,000 miles and lived in military service for four years.

Pei Min looked at such a punishment, couldn't help but nodded, sighed, and wrote down the name of Li Zhong, the county lieutenant of Shuzhong.

Although he did not intercede with Yang Xuanyan and exonerate him, he personally wrote a letter for him to show the relationship between the two.

If you really know how to be opportunistic, nine times out of ten you will be light on Yang Xuanyan in order to please yourself.

But this Li Zhong obviously doesn't, three thousand miles, four years, is an absolutely fair number, not mixed with any selfishness.

For this kind of square official, Pei Min has always repaid enough respect.

Yang Xuanyan was specially drawn, and Pei Min said: "This Yang Xuanyan is in charge of household registration in Shuzhong, and he has enough experience in this area. It's just that I made a mistake and fell to this. He can be put in charge of the management of labor, and let him make meritorious contributions. Tell him that as long as he does a good job, the day he succeeds will be the time when he is free. As for Yang Xuanyan's family, there is no need to go to Xizhou with him, stay in Guzang, and directly incorporate it into the local household registration. ”

Yang Xuanyan's identity is an official, and the imperial court has preferential treatment for officials.

The "Tang Law" clearly stipulates that officials who are exiled do not need to live in service, but only attach themselves to the local area, just like the common people, and when the time limit expires, those who have officials can be reinstated.

Pei Min arranged for Yang Xuanyan to work, with the intention of making meritorious contributions, so his family naturally did not need to suffer.

Zhang Jiuling responded, but it was quite strange in his heart, I didn't know that such a trivial matter needed to be handled by Pei Min personally?

After letting Zhang Jiuling take charge of this matter, Pei Min thought about it, and asked the housekeeper to help the Yang family find a quiet place to live in Guzang to settle them.

After arranging all this, Pei Min also applauded his own means in his heart, and read: "Kill Yang Guozhong, a moth, and control Yang Yuhuan and the Yang family in Guzang, so that Yang Yuhuan is far away from Chang'an, Chang'an should be able to be comfortable......"

He thought smugly.

Yang Xuanyan and his family came all the way to Guzang in Hexi from Shuzhong, and also met their daughter Yang Yuniang.

When the family sees each other again, it is naturally a combination of joy and sorrow.

Especially Yang Yuniang, she cried a lot.

Facing his youngest daughter, Yang Xuanyan was a little ashamed, and he didn't even know how to face it. In his heart, he always thought that he sold his daughter in exchange for everything he has today, and his heart was full of guilt.

"Where's my brother!" Yang Yuniang was so intimate that she snuggled up to her mother, looking left and right, but she didn't see Yang Zhao, who had taken care of herself all the way, and looked left and right curiously.

Yang Xuanyan and his wife's faces froze.

They had already received the news that Yang Zhao had fallen off the cliff of Shu Dao because of carelessness.

Shu Road is in deep danger, and this fall is the absence of bones.

Yang Xuanyan and his wife also looked down on this nephew a little, but they still had a lot of changes about his hard work these days. His death also made the two very sad.

However, Yang Yuniang is still young, so there is no need for her to carry so much.

Yang Xuanyan said: "Your brother Zhao has something to go home, and when he is empty, he will come to Guzang." ”

Yang Yuniang replied regretfully, and she would not suspect anything.

Pei Min did not receive Yang Xuanyan in person, and his identity was not suitable.

But Wang Wei was arranged to come forward and be responsible for handling everything.

Wang Wei is the most careful and handles everything properly.

Yang Xuanyan's arrangements and the placement of the Yang family's mother and daughter are impeccable.

Yang Xuanyan also had nothing to say, and thought secretly in his heart: "Although Guogong has some quirks, he is really not bad, and he arranges things beautifully, so that people have nothing to say." There is Guogong to take care of me here, and I can rest assured when I go to Xizhou. Thinking about pulling Yang Yuniang aside, he asked quietly: "Yuniang, didn't Guogong do anything to you, right?" ”

Yang Yuniang tilted her head and said, "Guogong? Do you mean the brother of the Pei family? My brother treats me very well, but I'm too busy, I rarely see people, and Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are very good, and Xiaoqi also gave me a lot of toys. ”

Yang Xuanyan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, looked at Wang Wei, and said politely: "Prince Wang, drag you to bring a message to the Duke of Guo, Yu Niang, and entrust him." ”
