Chapter 44: Sighing that the people were tortured and whipped
After Lu Yan followed Kui Lin down the mountain, he immediately came to the entrance of the Lishan Mausoleum, surrounded by coolies carrying stones, and when he saw Feng Chang coming, no matter what work he was doing, he had to stop and salute. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The entrance to the mausoleum is two five-finger thick bronze doors, and next to them are huge stones pushed together, although there is not like cement now, but each stone is tightly seamless, it is really ingenious.
The entire mountain range was completely hollowed out, and the surrounding pots and torches were clearly illuminated, and there were stone pillars every five meters, which one person could not hold at all.
Further inside, the pillars gradually became fewer, and among them there were three large halls, the ditches of the moat were exactly the same, and the palace was full of gold, silver and jewels.
Looking at this Lishan Mausoleum, Lu Yan's three views were refreshed again, as the book said, the pearl on the top is the sun, moon and stars, and the underground silver and lead are the rivers and lakes.
It took an hour to see through the part a little, and due to the lack of air in the tomb, Lu Yan and the two went to other places after they came out.
In the mountains not far away, there are many potholes, and the people below work hard to dig out the wet soil and transport it up little by little with bamboo baskets.
"What does Zhan Shi think?" In the wooden house between the two of them, looking down on the entire mausoleum, Kui Lin asked with some confidence with hot tea.
After all, this thing was built by his abbot, "This mountain mausoleum does not come here to watch, I really think it is a synthesis of heaven and man, and I have to admire it." Lu Yan said with a sigh.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a complaining voice in the distance, Lu Yan was curious and immediately got up and looked towards the mountain, although he couldn't hear what was said, but the whip in the soldier's hand kept whipping the people.
"Lord Bongsei, what's going on?" Lu Yanqiang pretended to be calm and pointed to the scene under the mountain and said.
Kui Lin got up a little slowly, thinking about the direction Lu Yan was pointing and looked over, "Those people are untouchables in the Six Kingdoms, it's not worth worrying about this, they were all dead, yesterday Lu Zhan pleaded for mercy to save them from death, it must be because of negligence in work, so they will be beaten like this." Kui Lin said naturally.
As if these people should have been beaten, Lu Yan sighed a little helplessly, rather than this, it was better to let them sacrifice and suffer a little less, but now it seems that life is better than death.
"If anyone dares to violate it, his official position will be confiscated immediately and he will be demoted to slavery." Lu Yan said in a deep voice.
Lu Yan almost forgot that he could cut the tomb first, although he couldn't repair the mausoleum, but it was still okay to take care of the people, although he hadn't seen his father and two elder brothers, but it was completely possible to think that the three of them must have been tortured a lot, so that there was no news for a few years.
Kui Lin looked at Lu Yan a little helplessly, this kind of thing seemed commonplace in his opinion, and now he suddenly gave the order and just felt a little inappropriate, "Ziyujun, I'm afraid it won't work to do this." Kui Lin said in a low voice.
"King Qin told me that what you do can be cut first and then played, doesn't Lord Fengchang know?" Lu Yan said very indifferently.
"This, since this is the case, it is all up to Zi Yujun's orders." Kui Lin also knew that Lu Yan was currently under the emperor's enmity, and he didn't dare to offend him at all, if he was neglected because of this, it would not be too late to report to the king.
Kui Lin thought in his heart, and immediately ordered that slaves should not be whipped arbitrarily, and at the same time, the bamboo whips were confiscated and burned, and those who did not obey the order were reduced to slaves.
When the order was given, many slaves and folk men knelt on the ground at the same time and kowtowed to Lu Yan, "Your Excellency is wise, your adult is wise." Although the tone was very incongruous, Lu Yan was very happy.
"What do you think, Lord Bongsei?" Lu Yan asked with some confidence.
"Although what Zi Yujun has done is for the people, but not for the king, I hope that the adults will not try to be quick for a while, so that the imperial tomb will be lazy." Kui Lin said slowly.
"What Feng Chang said is very true, Ziyu has been taught." Lu Yan said slowly.
Now that the order has just been implemented, it is impossible to see how the construction period will be now, and at this moment, Meng Yi also rushed over from the capital of Xianyang, and was very surprised to see that there were fires everywhere.
Although Meng Yi already knew the news that Lu Yan was here, because Afang Palace was still under construction, Meng Yi had not had time to meet him.
Seeing the young man in the wooden house from the mountain, Meng Yi guessed that this person was Lu Yan, and immediately walked towards the mountain, "Ziyu is here, why don't you greet me." Meng Yi shouted in the distance.
Lu Yan didn't pay attention to him, just drank tea with Kui Lin in the wooden house, and simply treated Meng Yi as a transparent person, Meng Yi walked in front of Lu Yan with some doubts.
"Ziyu, why is this?" Meng Yi asked puzzled, Kui Lin immediately served hot tea when he saw this, and asked Meng Yi to sit down, Kui Lin knew that Meng Yi was a person, so he had special respect for him.
"Does Shangqing know what I told you at the beginning?" Lu Yan opened his mouth and said, his face was a little gloomy.
"Could it be that it's a matter of Afang Palace, is there something wrong?" Meng Yi looked at Lu Yan, only feeling that Mo Min was a little wonderful, and he didn't know what was going on with Afang Palace again.
"Shangqing said that the construction of Afang Palace must be kind to the people and slaves, but why does this kind of thing still occur in the imperial tomb now, isn't the people and slaves in my imperial tomb human? Are you still treated differently between the Imperial Tomb and the Imperial Palace? Lu Yan said bluntly, and Meng Yi lowered his head a little ashamedly.
Yesterday in the court, Lu Yan had just saved a group of slaves, and today he saw the phenomenon of whipping slaves here, and he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart.
"Ziyu is strange, I will correct it in the future, and I will not treat the people and slaves differently." Meng Yi immediately bowed down and said.
"That's the best, now that the foundation of the empire is unstable, if you treat slaves like this, something big will happen sooner or later." Lu Yan said with a little worry.
Meng Yi also nodded, and Lu Yan looked at it slightly, "Fengchang, how many slaves and people are there here?" Lu Yan then said.
"10,000 men and 5,000 slaves." Kui Lin said slowly, he didn't know what Lu Yan wanted to do.
"From today onwards, all slaves will be converted into civil husbands, and I would like to ask Meng Shangqing for help in this matter." Lu Yan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip gently.
Meng Yi was a little surprised, "Ziyu, do you mean that all these five thousand slaves are registered?" ā
"That's right, I'll leave in a few days, and I must settle all the things here, as long as they are slaves for a day, I'm afraid you will be treated differently every day, only this is the best." Lu Yan said thoughtfully.
Meng Yi glanced at Kui Lin next to him, how did he know that Kui Lin was cunning, glanced at Meng Yi, and then took a cup of hot tea to Lu Yan and did it behind him.
"Ziyu rest assured, I will do it." Meng Yi said in a deep voice.
