Soon, the team arrived at the Yamen of the Dusi. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The barracks of the Fu Corps were ready, just behind the Yamen of the Dusi. Zhao Dahai and Wu Minqiu accompanied Jia Min to the office to talk, Wei Ruolan led Chen Yejun to arrange the unloading of the truck and the placement of soldiers, and Feng Ziying led people to hand over the prisoners to Yang Lin of the classic history.

The person who handed over the prisoner must first verify his identity, check the name, place of origin, reason, physical characteristics, etc. written on the documents he brings, and then register them, and finally issue a waist card.

This waist tag indicates the main circumstances of the offender, as proof of identity here in the future.

And then it's time to assign them.

Their whereabouts are generally three. One is to enslave the soldiers here. This is basically the most severe punishment.

As a slave, he basically has no rights, and he is just an object of the master.

The minions here are minions in the truest sense of the word. Although the minions in Jiafu are also minions, compared to the minions here, they are simply living in heaven.

The second destination is to go on errands.

It can be an errand in the yamen, such as a sedan chair driver and some low-level officials, and some people who go to iron factories, charcoal kilns, mines, etc. to do hard labor.

In the end, and the vast majority of people, they basically went to Guanzhuang.

In fact, Guanzhuang is farming and grazing, similar to small farms. There is an officer and soldier in an official village, called Tunbing, and he is the head of the village. He was in charge of nine prisoners.

Each offender was given a share of land, ranging from 12 mu to 20 mu or 30 mu, and was given the means of production such as cattle, farm tools, and seeds by the yamen. In addition to farming, it is also necessary to hunt and burn charcoal.

Under normal circumstances, handing over a certain amount of materials to the yamen every year is considered to have fulfilled one's quota.

At present, the common standard in Bukui is that a person should hand over 12 stones of grain, 300 pieces of forage, 100 pieces of reeds, 100 pounds of charcoal, 300 pounds of lime, and 100 pounds of pork every year.

There are also special circumstances, which are generally divided into three situations, all of which are relatively minor crimes, so that this arrangement can be made.

One is to bring a family member, who is a prisoner, but the family member is not a prisoner.

For such a person, the yamen can give him some land, usually about 20 or 30 acres, to provide agricultural tools, ploughing cattle and seeds, and his family will cultivate them, and when the time comes, hand them over in kind as appropriate.

Such a person is considered to be treated better, unlike the prisoners in the official village, who are subject to a lot of supervision and can cultivate on their own. As long as you don't run away, you can report to the yamen once a month on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and you are not much different from ordinary people.

The reason why the supervision of these people is relatively lenient is that they bring their families with them, and they generally do not run away, and even if they want to escape, it is very inconvenient. Unlike those who come alone, there is no concern here, and you can make a desperate bet regardless of the consequences.

The second is that if you come with some money, you can hand him over to the local land security to manage and allow him to make a living in the local area. He can do something like a small business or farming.

The third type is the prisoners who know how to trade, which is also managed by the local security guard, and is allowed to earn their own livelihood locally.

In this era, the entire Daitoku Dynasty did not have the form of round-the-clock detention of prisoners like the modern prisons of later generations.

The prisons of counties, prefectures, provinces, and criminal departments are only temporary places for the detention of unconvicted prisoners, similar to the detention centers and detention centers of later generations. Once the sentence of the prisoner has been handed down, it is necessary to send it to various places to carry out the sentence. For minor crimes, the flogging and cane punishment are to be carried out and released on the spot.

Those who have committed serious crimes, either in prison or in exile, will be sent to other places to carry out their punishments.

All the exiled prisoners, their way out in the future, in general, is generally five.

The first is exile for life.

This is the most severe punishment and is generally a lifetime slave, such as rebellion, murder, arson, robbery, embezzlement, poisoning, slaughter of cattle, and other serious crimes.

Such a person, unless he is pardoned by the emperor, basically has no chance to get rid of the fate of exile in this life, and there is no chance to return to his birthplace.

The second way out is to flee.

If you can't endure hard labor here, or miss your relatives back home, you have to find a way to escape.

This kind of thing is the norm in any penal colony. However, very few can really succeed.

Once he escaped, not only did the Bukui Yamen pursue him with all his might, but the yamen from all over the country also cooperated with the pursuit. Prisoners may also assist in the apprehension.

From the place of exile to the mainland, there are many checkpoints, and it is generally difficult to break through the checkpoints or the harsh natural environment to escape.

The third way out is to settle down locally for the people.

This refers to the fact that those who perform well in the distribution center and reach a certain period of time can be transformed into ordinary people.

The imperial court also encouraged prisoners who had completed their sentences to settle down in the local area. This is a measure taken to enrich the population of the frontiers.

The general practice was to compile them into the local people's register, distribute land, cattle and horses, and farm tools, and the yamen lent silver, rations, and seeds for the construction of houses. Promote these former prisoners to change their ways of becoming good and renew their lives and let them return to society.

The fourth way out is to return to one's native country for the people.

This is also for those prisoners who have reached a certain prison sentence and can return to their hometowns and re-enter their homes to serve the people.

It doesn't have to be easy to achieve this condition, and you usually have to work here for at least ten years before you can get this way out.

The last way out is to enlist in the army.

This road is relatively risky, and if you don't get it right, you will hang up.

However, there are many risks and opportunities. First of all, the requirements are relatively low and the treatment is better. The second is that I am lucky, I have made military achievements, and I have the opportunity to become an official.

Among the soldiers who garrisoned the yamen in Bu Kuiyuan, there were many such people.

Since it was not early today, Jia Min decided to officially hand over official duties to Zhao Dahai tomorrow.

So, I chatted casually with Zhao Dahai and Wu Minqiu in the office room. The topics are mostly what he saw and heard on the road, what he saw and heard in the imperial capital and anecdotes about the local customs of Bukui, and basically did not involve official business.

While they were chatting, they heard a commotion coming out of the backyard, and a soldier hurriedly ran in, saying that the veterans and recruits in the backyard were fighting.

The veteran is the garrison of Bu Kui's original garrison of the Yamen, and the new recruits are naturally the members of the Fu Corps.

Jia Min didn't leave immediately, he wanted to see Zhao Dahai and Wu Minqiu's reactions.

Wu Minqiu didn't react, as a gentry and a private person, this matter can be said to have nothing to do with him.

The one who is anxious should be Zhao Dahai.

As soon as the government corps arrived here, the veterans clashed with the recruits, and judging from common sense alone, the responsibility lies with the veterans.

The recruits have just arrived here, they are not familiar with the place, and they have to be busy settling down, where will they take the initiative to find the veterans to stir up trouble?

At first, Zhao Dahai didn't react, and seemed to be waiting for Jia Min's reaction. After fifteen minutes, seeing that Jia Min was still looking at him with such a smile, he finally couldn't hold his breath.

"Lord Toji, why don't we go and have a look?"

Zhao Dahai asked tentatively.

"Okay, let's go check it out."

Jia Min got up and followed Zhao Dahai to the backyard.

At this time, in the backyard, the two groups of soldiers were divided into two teams, and a confrontation had already formed. The veterans are on the east side, and the recruits are on the west side. To the south stood the new prisoners, and next to them were some civilian officials in the yamen.

On the middle field, two people are fighting.

On the veteran's side, there was a tall and stout, burly man in his thirties.

On the recruit's side, Qin Zhong is relatively thin and not tall, and he is quiet.

At first, the two sides fought in a group, and then Zhong Ding and Chen Yejun, the first leaders, came forward and separated the two sides.

When fighting in a group, the veterans suffered losses and were unwilling to take a break, so they proposed to solve the victory and defeat through a competition.

In the event of a conflict between the two sides, it is undoubtedly abnormal for a few GIs to dare to make such a request while the commander is still present.

Either military discipline is too lax, or the commander deliberately connives. Otherwise, as a GI, where would you have such guts?

Unbelievably, Zhong Ding agreed to this request. and asked Chen Yejun to agree to the contest request, on the pretext that this was Bu Kui's rules.

The rules are unruly, Chen Yejun doesn't know, but if the other party is so provocative, if he doesn't respond, he will undoubtedly fall into the prestige of the government corps.

So Chen Yejun sent Qin Zhong to appear.

As soon as the veterans saw that the other party had sent a thin child to appear, they inevitably felt contempt. How did they know that Qin Zhong's fighting skills were actually very good, and among the officers of the Fu Corps, they were all among the top few.

The conflict between the two sides was caused by Ping'er and Miaoyu and other female dependents.

In order to ensure the safety of the female dependents, when Wei Ruolan arranged the accommodation, she arranged Miaoyu and the others to live in a room in the middle of the government corps. On either side of their room were men's dormitories.

Although this is not very convenient, it is also the safest plan for newcomers who are not familiar with the local situation, in order to ensure safety.

On the way here, Wei Ruolan told Jia Min, and Jia Min agreed. also specially told Zhao Dahai and told him to restrain the veterans and not to collide with the female dependents.

Seeing the female dependents coming, several veterans couldn't help it, and came over and walked around in front of the women's door, Wei Ruolan told them to go, but they didn't leave.

The people of the government corps, where would they get used to them, beat up a few people.

More veterans came out, however, more soldiers from the prefectural corps also came out. So the two sides started a group fight.

The government corps is well-trained, its combat effectiveness is already strong, and with the fact that there are many people, the veterans are naturally not opponents.

Seeing that the veterans had suffered a loss, Zhong Ding stood up to stop it. He also put forward the unreasonable demand to fight alone to win the victory.

Chen Yejun was naturally not to be outdone, and also wanted to take the opportunity to teach the other party a lesson and tell them to have a better memory, so he agreed.

After listening to Chen Yejun's introduction, combined with Zhao Dahai's ambiguous attitude, Jia Min immediately understood.

This is the other party is giving him a bad horse, and he wants to test his attitude and determination.
