Spring is the new season of the year in nature, and the new season of life is the youth that has only one time in a lifetime.

- Marcus Tulius Cicero (Roman statesman, orator, orator, jurist, and philosopher)

That night Dulles went with the cavalry to the official residence of Sanluri, and Oscar and Licinius drank and chatted together and did not receive Dulles; Instead, he instructed the guards in the mansion to tell Dulles directly what his mission was, and the rest would be after the end of the trial meeting tomorrow. Of course, the young Dulles knew that it was impossible for him to hide his personal relationship with Shawey, and he also knew that Oscar's calling himself to personally judge Shawey and his son was a test for himself; But Dulles was still worried about Oscar's avoidance.

The deep personal relationship between him and Sha Wei at that time was just due to his own nature and Sha Wei's deliberate friendship; I didn't expect Sha Wei to dare to commit such a heinous crime just after taking office. Licinius ordered the cavalry to inform Dulles at the same time, and also had the cavalry inform Dulles of everything on the way; Licinius's original intention was to let Dulles know these things in advance and have a good idea in his heart, so as not to do the stupid thing of interceding for Shawei and his son in front of Oscar, so as not to make Oscar even more angry.

However, Dulles understood that this was General Licinius's warning that he must not relax the punishment of Shawei and his sons, and that he must punish Shawei and his sons severely; Neither Dulles misunderstood, nor did Licinius mispronounce. In short, Dulles had secretly made up his mind in his heart that he would punish Shawei and his sons; In fact, there is no need for Licinius to remind him of this. The mere act of Shawe and his son was enough for Dulles to punish Shawey and his son most severely, knowing the cause and effect of the incident; After all, Dulles himself is still a good official who wants to serve the country and the people, and the slickness on the surface is just his way of dealing with the world.

No matter how many people can't sleep tonight, the sun will slowly rise in the east the next day; At around nine o'clock in the morning, in the newly built city square in Sanluri, Shawei and his son were kneeling on the square with pale faces after being simply bandaged and waiting for the final judgment. There was no Oscar and Licini on the chairman of the trial, but Dulles was in charge of the trial with all the students in the original city of Mulluri; The square was surrounded by citizens who had come to watch the trial, except for the guards who maintained order.

The population of the entire district of Sanluli is not very large, only about 6,000 people; Before the arrival of Roman immigrants, the population was not even enough to fill a third of the soon-to-be-expanded Sanlouri. Even so. The city square is still crowded with people; It may have been that after the news spread last night, everyone called their relatives and friends to watch the first trial in the world. Of course, it is not denied that many of them have been bullied by Shawei and his son, and now they are here to see retribution; For example, the old man who stood up yesterday to persuade Oscar to flee quickly is bringing his family to see this trial meeting!

Ten o'clock arrived. Dulles pronounced the counts of Shavoy and his sons; And many of the citizens of Sanluri who were present were asked for verification. Because there was already a promise from the Oscar leader, everyone was not worried that the Savoy father and son could escape severe punishment; Everyone actively cooperated with Dulles to put down the crimes of Shawey and his sons. By the time eleven o'clock was approaching, Dulles had finally finished the process of gathering evidence and convictions; Shawei and his son were sentenced to be hanged, confiscated all the looted fat and ointment, and the hooligan ruffians who aided the abuse were sent to prison for ten years of hard labor!

After the punishment was declared for the Shawey father and son and their lackeys. Savoy fell to his knees and begged Dulles to give him a way to survive for the sake of everyone being classmates; He also promised that he was willing to serve hard labor for the rest of his life in exchange for a chance to survive, and was more willing to make up for the sins he had committed against his fellow villagers and elders in Sanluli through a lifetime of hard labor. His father also wept bitterly and knelt on the ground and begged Dulles to give his father and son a chance; The tragic scene in the square made it difficult for those who had been victimized by the Savoy father and son to feel compassion.

Dulles, however, insisted on the hanging of Shavoy and his sons, and ordered that the hanging should take place at twelve o'clock in the town square; After upholding the verdict, Dulles stepped down from the judgment seat and walked to Shavoy with a jug of wine. I saw Dulles walk up to Sha Wei and hand him the wine, then sighed and said, "Sha Wei, as a friend, I feel sorry for you; One wrong step, no one can save you. It is not I who kills you, it is the law of the House of Augustus; You and I are classmates, and we've learned these things. You're smarter than I am, and you can understand that better.

I won't say much about the rest, but you can only blame yourself for not grasping yourself; Power is a good thing, but you also have to see if you are qualified to enjoy it. What's more, you are no longer enjoying power, but you are harming your fellow villagers; Have you ever thought about how many people's family happiness and how many innocent civilians have been bullied by the actions of your father and son. Shawei, no one can save you in this life, be a good person in the next life; Remember to always remember the motto of the college: swear allegiance to the Oscar leader and swear allegiance to the family law. ”

Anyway. Dulles stood up and walked back to the podium; But Sha Wei was mindless in his mouth muttering the two sentences that Dulles had just said, which were also the two sentences he used to say every day in the academy. A long time passed, when twelve o'clock was approaching; Shawe stood up at once, picked up the flask handed to him by Dulles with his own arm, drank it all, and then shouted to everyone on the rostrum with a smile on his face:

"Ladies and gentlemen. Today, I, Sha Wei, am going to the underworld in advance because I am confused for a while; However, I don't blame the Oscar leader for his punishment, nor the strictness of the family law, I only blame myself for not managing myself well, and I made such a mistake for a while. Now that I am dying, I hope that my classmates can take me as a warning and never make such a mistake again; Please remember the school motto: Swear allegiance to the Oscar leader. Swear to be faithful to the family law. Our father and son are innocent today, and I hope that all of you will take care of the old mother and young brother at home on my behalf! ”

After a rather tragic farewell to death, Shawe walked to the gallows that had been prepared long ago to die; When the Savoy father and son were hanged, the two dead men also resolved the resentment of everyone in the city of Sanluri. However, Shawei's last words on his death also made Oscar look at him with admiration; I didn't expect such a fishy and shameless person to die so generously before he died, and it didn't make Oscar extremely disappointed. Especially his concern for his old mother and young brother, it also made Oscar have a good impression of this Shawei.

Unfortunately, the sins he committed were not tolerated by the laws of the House of Augustus; After all the affairs were taken care of, Oscar asked Dulles to take good care of Shawei's old mother and young brother. Don't let them be bullied. Today's affairs are not just dealing with Savoy alone, there are countless people that Oscar needs to deal with; Today is the last day of the seven-day period announced by Oscar seven days ago, and after five o'clock this afternoon, those who have not yet undergone the replacement of household registration rank and weights and measures will be punished by the Augustan family.

Since Oscar can execute Shawei who he has cultivated with his own hands without hesitation. There will be no mercy on those who disobey the decrees of the House of Augustus; For this reason, Oscar has already prepared a prison large enough for 1,000 people and a labor camp for 10,000 people, waiting for these people to fall into the net. Oscar didn't believe that these unarmed civilians could stir up any waves on Sardinia, where the 50,000-strong army was stationed, and even less did he believe that after the "Savoy Incident", there were still students who dared to pretend to help the public and obstruct the implementation of the new policy.

When Oscar and Licinius returned to Calaris with the cavalry, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the registration status of the other eight districts could not be sent to the governor's palace until tomorrow at the earliest, but the registration status of the capital of Calaris was delivered tonight. The whole of Calaris 32,423 people. No one dared to oppose the decrees of the House of Augustus; They have honestly registered their household registration, and replaced all the weights and measures tools at home with new ones, it seems that people who have learned a lesson are more honest!

The people of the other eight districts will surely be lucky, thinking that their situation may not be fully understood by the Augustusian family; They are so simple, the Jinyi Guard organization has already investigated the entire situation of the eight districts, one government and nine cities in detail, no one can hide anything from them, once the data provided is wrong, Oscar will immediately order the Jinyi Guard to cooperate with the guards to arrest people! In short, Oscar is fully prepared for this matter, just waiting for the final statistics of District 8 to come out.

Really. The next morning, there were many data that did not match reality in the statistics that came back one after another; On average, each district has a shortage of at least 100 people, and the most serious is the most populous district, Olbia, with more than 1,000 registered shortfalls. Oscar took very tough measures against these stubborn people, and the guards were fully armed and completed their arrest under the guidance of the brocade guards; More than 3,000 protesters were proven to have resisted the order on their own, and Oscar did not hesitate to sentence them to three years of hard labor.

After dealing with these people, Oscar began to implement the military merit hierarchy; Originally, Oscar planned to take advantage of the aftermath of the arrest of 3,000 people to deter people who wanted to resist this decree, but he didn't expect that the result was not at all what Oscar imagined. As soon as the military merit hierarchy system was introduced, it was sought after by the common people of Sardinia, and some people even regarded sending their sons to join the army as the hope of the whole family to become nobles from commoners; And the wealthy businessmen actually praised the system.

It turns out that in this world, although rich merchants can enjoy many privileges, there is a gap between them and the nobility; Now the Oscar promulgation of the hierarchy of military merit not only gave civilians the opportunity to gain wealth and social status. It also made these rich people see the opportunity to enter the aristocracy. As long as the wealthy contributed enough taxes to the House of Augustus, contributed enough to the House of Augustus, or had sons in the family who had been honored on the battlefield; Then the title of nobility is at your fingertips!

Do not think how difficult it is to get merit on the battlefield; Those who came from wealthy families had better weapons and equipment than ordinary soldiers, and they may have developed combat skills from an early age. They will easily achieve their own feats on the battlefield. At least a lord is very easy to obtain; Even if this lord is only the lowest level of nobility, it is still noble, isn't it? Therefore, these wealthy merchants also supported this policy of the Augustan family from the bottom of their hearts.

As for the pro-aristocratic class, which was the only one who could be opposed; Sorry, the nobles of Sardinia had already been dealt with when the Augustans conquered Sardinia. At this time, Sardinia was completely a province without nobility, and the Roman aristocracy did not extend its tentacles to Sardinia because of the war; So Oscar has the time and space to do everything he wants to do on the land of Sardinia.

The smooth implementation of the military merit hierarchy system also led to the successful completion of the recruitment plan of the auxiliary corps in charge of Quintus; The conscription of the 7,000-strong auxiliary regiment was broken by the strong heads of the Sardinian people who wanted to join the army, and there were even brotherly fights. On the one hand, this is because everyone wants to gain merit on the battlefield and change the fate of themselves and their families. On the other hand, it is also because the military treatment of the Augustan family is really good. (To be continued.) )
