After three days in prison, Qiao Shan finally saw the sun.

He regretted very much why he was obsessed with money and greedy for the money in the cabinet when the imperial court entered Shanxi, but after the incident, he was mercilessly sent to the yamen by the owner. He was also very curious, in Zhongtang Qiao's family, with a family property of 10 million taels, and the rich Jia Jinzhong, why did the army come in without any offense in the autumn, not even a single one to fight the autumn wind? So much so that the more than 4,000 taels of silver he embezzled on the counter were undoubtedly revealed!

But he didn't know at all that Qiao Zhiyong had already entered Liu Xian's eyes. The Qiao family spent a huge amount of money to help the victims in the recent Ding Wuqi famine, and also opened a warehouse to release grain. Because of the disaster trafficking, Qiao Zhiyong was rewarded by the Qing court for "raising his brother and adding five grades" and rewarding Hua Ling, how could Liu Xian move such a person?

The sins of the eight imperial merchants in Shanxi will not be repaid by Qiao Zhiyong and his gang of righteous businessmen two or three hundred years later. There was a heavy hemorrhage from another group of guys who cherished themselves in the Ding Wuqi Waste, and it was very easy for Shanxi Province to have the money to plant trees, repair canals, and tidy up rivers in the next few years.

And Qiao Shan has no money and no home now. His wife was ashamed and took the child back to her parents' house. Qiao Shan himself is also surnamed Qiao, and Qiao Zhiyong did not rush to kill them all.

……

Qiao Shan's guilt was conclusive, and he only passed the court once before being thrown into prison. The small window in the prison faces north, the mouth is not large, the sun shines very little, and the room is a little damp. However, the grass on the shop was fairly clean, it didn't stink, and there weren't many bugs. The room smells of lime and is painted on the walls and the floor to prevent fleas and bed bugs. The convenient net bucket is also clean, and I heard that after the imperial court seized Qi County, it specially cleared the prison.

Prison alerts carry batons and pistols. I have to make two rounds every hour. When the meal was given at noon, although it was green vegetables and radishes and nests. But it's still okay to fill your belly. The early warning has said more than once: It is the virtue of the court today that the prison has become so good. You thieves are destined to catch up with the good times.

Qiao Shan had also visited the prison for others before, and in comparison between the two sides, he felt that what the prison guard said was indeed right, but no matter how good the life in the prison was, could he have his old days?

No matter how clean this prison is, can it be as clean and comfortable as the yard of the house before?

Qiao Shan was not used to prison life, and while walking outside, he picked the straw on his body.

For the past two days, two people from his cell have been dragged out. Never came back, but the rest was fine, spending three days with Johnson.

During this trip to prison, Qiao Shan also saw many old friends, the ruffians and hooligans in Qi County, the patrol inspectors in the countryside, and the leaders of the regiment, all of whom were really photographed. However, he still carefully found that those guys who were angry and had a bad reputation in the past. I haven't seen one.

Thinking of the 'autumn no crime' when the Qin army entered Qi County, Qiao Shan felt that the attributes of this army should not be the same as those bullies and murderers. Then the fate of these people can be predicted.

"Are you going to kill us?"

and Qiao Shan were thrown into prison one day, and Mao Hongru, a gambler at the gambling table in the past, trembled.

Qiao Shan is five or six years younger than Mao Hongru. But Mao Hongru is purely a loser, relying on the family property shop handed down by his ancestors, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling. I don't know if he violated the law of the new dynasty and was thrown into prison. Qiao Shan also asked Mao Hongru, and he didn't know what law he had committed. That time of trial. He was completely stunned, and he didn't hear anything!

So Qiao Shan is stronger than Mao Hongru. "To kill someone, you have to eat a severed head meal first. Didn't you hear Wang Dadao, who changed his skin, say? This is the border of the northeast that the imperial court wants to fill, and if there is no one to find it, it will take us prisoners to guard the border. ”

"Say something!"

The prison guard next to him heard the voice and scolded him. What does it mean to change a skin? Do you think this skin is so easy to change? Several cell bosses in the prison are now all in the underworld. There are only a few small shrimps left of me, and I don't have the opportunity to do evil on weekdays, so I can have a new dignity. Qiao Shan immediately tightened his mouth, hid his head and arched his back, and stopped talking.

A group of people were driven out of the prison where they had been staying for three days, and when they came out the back door, they saw a row of large cars parked in the alley. They are the most common four-wheeled carts, and there is no comparison with the four-wheeled carriages of the superior people in terms of shock absorption. There is only the advantage of high load and wear-resistant.

A dozen people in one car, fifty or sixty prisoners, all of them were driven into four cars.

Beside it, a group of cavalry walked along, and the convoy circled left and right, and finally passed through a gate, and finally stopped.

Everyone got out of the car, and Qiao Shan shrank his head in the crowd, trying not to attract attention. But his eyes were not idle, and he looked left and right along the way, and found that this was a place he knew. It is the original station of the green camp in Qi County.

The military discipline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has long been corrupted, and the majesty of the Green Battalion has long been gone. The original Qianzong of Qixian Yingtou was no more noble than Qiao Shan's identity.

Not far away, four men with guns were guarding a table in the middle. Behind the table sat an officer-like man, holding a pen and a piece of paper in front of him.

"It's supposed to be a bookseller." Qiao Shan thought. A group of Qiu Ba who are soldiers, how many people can read and write in addition to the bookstore?

Fifty or sixty people lined up in a long line, and under the watchful eye of the Qin army, they were all very obedient.

"Name."

When it came to Qiao Shan, the secretary in his eyes didn't raise his head, and asked while dipping his pen in ink.

"The small surname is Qiao, and the cheap name is a mountain."

"Which mountain character? The mountain of the mountain, or the three of one, two, three? ”

This look and tone that was not taken into account at all, it was completely contempt, contempt, and contempt, which made Qiao Shan, a person who was originally quite an identity, hate in his heart.

Qiao Shan swore that if he did not die, he would be a master in the future. He's only thirty years old, and there's still time. was ruthless in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "Master Hui, it is the mountain of the mountain." ”

"Oh? Is that the thief with the Dade Pass number? This kind of person is better than having a dog! ”

The officer finally raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Shan. But the insult and humiliation suffered by Qiao San was even deeper.

Qiao Shan gritted his teeth and endured his anger, and walked into the other group of people, only then did he turn his head and stare at the officer, Qiao Shan hated in his heart, "Grandpa, even if he is a dog, he is also a dog that can bite people." Wait for one day grandpa to make a fortune, look at you like this. ”

"Sit down!"

Just as Qiao Shan was scolding in his heart, a voice reached his ears. Qiao Shan immediately woke up from his conjecture and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Then he saw a group of shavers with razors coming to them carrying stools and basins.

"Sit down, shut up, close your eyes, don't move, don't speak."

The harsh reprimand made everyone dare not disobey half a point. It doesn't matter what your previous identity was. Now you're just a prisoner.

Sitting down honestly and closing their eyes, everyone could feel the sound of rustling overhead, and they could feel something falling on their shoulders, and the last handful of hot water splashed on their heads.

By the time someone lifted him from the stool, he had already shaved his head, and his originally greasy hair could only touch a little wet stubble.

Now I want to be a monk!

Qiao Shan really didn't know what was going to happen to him and the others. Even if it's really filled, haven't you heard of shaving the scoop?

"Go in and wash up."

In the confusion, Qiao Shan's group came to a big house. As soon as you lift the cotton blanket at the door, you can feel a warm moisture rushing to your face.

"Isn't it a bathhouse?" Qiao Shan's brain was confused. On the side, Mao Hongru was also surprised and shouted: "What kind of raft does the imperial court want to make with us?" Shaved bald, still bathing? ”

If you're outside, taking a bath in the middle of winter is definitely a treat. But now, it's just a matter of worrying.

Qiao Shan took off his clothes in two by three and was driven into the house with Mao Hongru. But only the slightly warm water vapor is vulgar, although it is a bathhouse, there is only moisture, no heat.

A quarter of an hour later, Qiao Shan and the others were driven out. The clothes are no longer the clothes they used to be, they are exactly the same clothes, cotton hats and shoes.

The color is pale gray and very plain, just like a monk's robe.

Dozens of bald heads were dressed in the same way, and at first glance, dozens of monks gathered together.

"You've all heard me clearly. Starting tomorrow, you will receive a month of military training, and then you will be sent to the Northeast. In this month's time, we will hand you over how to shoot and how to shoot. The amount of training is not large, so you have time to write letters yourself, or find a teacher to write a letter on your behalf, and hand it to your family.

If your wives and children are in the family, the reason follows you to the Northeast. So, no matter what crime you are committing now, it only takes a year for you to understand when you get to the Northeast.

Moreover, each adult man who goes to the Northeast is given 100 acres of land, and the female is given 50 acres of land, and the underage is divided into 20 acres of land for each man, whether it is a man or a woman. ”

"The court will also give you loans, let you build houses, buy cattle, horses, and seeds, and all without interest." It's just that each tun has to form a militia team, which is a rotational voluntary labor. Firearms and ammunition are purchased collectively and the money is divided equally. And it's mandatory.

"You don't have to pay taxes for the first year you go to the Northeast. In the second year, only half of it needs to be paid. In the third year, pay seventy percent. The fourth year is the full tax. ”

……

The homeland of the Chinese is inseparable. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, no one wants to leave their hometown.

Now that the drought in North China has subsided, countless Shanxi people who have escaped from Shanxi have turned back to Shanxi like water. Seeing that the population of Shanxi is about to reach the 10 million line. Liu Xian can only use this method to 'send' people outside. And with the development of Inner Mongolia in the future, countless Shanxi people will also become Inner Mongolians.

……

"Food prices are back high?" He was transferred from the governor of Hunan to the governor of Shanxi. Zeng Guoquan hadn't even heated the chair in Taiyuan City, and the problem of food prices appeared in front of him again.

"My lord, there are two construction corps marching into Henan. Because the construction grain must be guaranteed for one month's savings, about half of the grain that Henan was supposed to transfer to Shanxi was requisitioned by the construction corps......"

The leader of the Shanxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs waited carefully. (To be continued......)
