Chapter 35: Pacification

readx;?? It took a lot of effort for Zhang Jiashi to simply close his eyes, pretend to be out of sight, and be directly taken away by hundreds of guards and Yao Yong and others who were onlookers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info copy this address to browse%62%69%71%69%65

And after he galloped on his horse and threw Yao Yong and the others directly away from a distance, it took less than ten minutes to run directly back to the construction site of Afang Palace.

The confrontation between the hundreds of thousands of prisoners and the more than 10,000 troops under Zhang Jiashi's command has not yet ended, but for Zhang Jiashi, things seem to be developing in a good direction.

Because Zhang Jiashi saw that, with the efforts of Duo Bu and others, most of the prisoners accepted Chen Ping's suggestion to let the weak or sick prisoners come to the back of the Qin army formation to get food.

And what Zhang Jiashi saw was not only the carriage formation under his command, but also hundreds of carriages carrying grain, gathering behind the phalanx of the Qin army.

The cooking camp that Xiao He found had already begun to cook in a pot. The first batch of various grains and rice was slowly distributed to most of the prisoners who were helped over.

Of course, Xiao He did not let his guard down, these prisoners were separated by a large number of heavily armed Qin officers and soldiers, and Chen Ping also let a cavalry of five hundred people roam outside, just in case.

With more than 10,000 Qin troops, facing more than 100,000 weak or weak prisoners, such a battle naturally has a taste of making a fuss. But Chen Ping knew very well that Zhang Jiashi was also worried about the sudden riot of these prisoners. If this really happens, not to mention Zhang Jiashi, even their staff will not have good fruits to eat.

......

After Zhang Jiashi came to Chen Ping's side, he opened Yingzheng's edict and looked at it, and as a result, Zhang Jiashi saw the content that made him hard to believe.

There are not many words on it, but Ying Zheng seems to be able to guess what he wants to do.

In the edict, what made Zhang Jiashi speechless the most was that Ying Zheng explained that he could act as if this incident had not happened, but there was one thing that Zhang Jiashi had to deal with, that is, if these prisoners made any trouble in the future, Ying Zheng would slowly calculate the two accounts together.

After Zhang Jiashi read this edict, he reluctantly handed the edict to Chen Ping.

After reading it, the latter looked at Zhang Jiashi in disbelief, because such a scale is completely impossible in Chen Ping's cognition. Ying Zheng didn't come to a large-scale pit to kill the prisoners, it was all a benevolent move.

After all, there are some things, although the crime is not in these prisoners, but in the laws of Great Qin, there is also no such lenient punishment.

He couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhang Jiashi, and after seeing the other party's bitter face, Chen Ping was slightly stunned, and then showed a knowing smile.

"I have to say, the lord is still a little too tender. However, such a thing was not handled well. Chen Ping knows very well that although the person is not worthy of his trust, and Zhang Jiashi should also have such thoughts, but for Chen Ping, the person who is not worthy of his trust is not yet fully trusted, but for Chen Ping, the person who is just one of the leaders of this matter, and the thoughts of several other people, as well as the next actions, are the biggest problems in perfectly handling this unexpected riot.

He closed the edict, and then waved it to Zhang Jiashi: "My lord, although there is your majesty's help in this matter, your lord can't take it lightly. Because among these people, there may really be some ill-intentioned people. ”

After hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Jiashi nodded lightly in deep understanding.

He glanced at the prisoners who were slowly approaching and were arranged to move forward, and said slowly, "However, now is not a good time to make a move. Because, if we do it, we will not only lose our morality, but it is more likely that the current improvement situation will directly come to naught. Wait a minute, there are some people who don't go beyond my bottom line, and Captain Pontus can be non-existent. ”

Zhang Jiashi's words silenced Chen Ping. In Chen Ping's heart, who was thinking about something, after Zhang Jiashi came back this time, there seemed to be something changed.

Such a change, in Chen Ping's heart, is happy to see. He handed the edict back to Zhang Jiashi after he was injured, and silently watched the slow progress of the prisoner procession, and no longer spoke.

......

More than 100,000 prisoners lined up in three queues, silently holding their own food in the hands of the Qin army men who were moved to the front of the formation.

Many people have not eaten such good food for quite some time after coming here. Of course, in contrast to some frail prisoners, the prisoners who were in good physique, in addition to being a little weak, were some rather coarse multigrain rice in terms of food.

According to the head of the cooking battalion, a slightly obese Qin army officer, these grains were already much better than the old rice that these prisoners ate on a daily basis.

Because these are all new rice stocked in the granaries around Xianyang.

Zhang Jiashi didn't react after knowing this. He didn't think that these prisoners should be treated differently, but there was also no clause in Daqin's decree that these prisoners should be raised for nothing.

So for Zhang Jiashi, he didn't have much to say.

Among his troops, the standard of food also has a set of strict standards.

Food like his is the best among the entire Afang Lieutenant Army. There was fish and meat at every meal, and some dried fruit or something. As for Chen Ping's senior officers, it is worse.

Even the lowest level of grassroots soldiers who have no military merits, these people often eat a bamboo tube of bean soup and miscellaneous grains.

Zhang Jiashi knows very well that he can't change anything by himself with such unwritten regulations. This is the situation of Daqin.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's request, the soldiers of the Qin army at the grassroots level would probably not even be able to drink bean soup, because of this standard, among the other troops of the Qin army, they are already considered to be captains, or soldiers with military merits of the second class or above.

What Zhang Jiashi was able to do was to buy some live pigs for the officers and soldiers of these subordinates at the right time, and then transport them to the battalion to improve the food for everyone.

This is one of the factors that is not considered a regular combat strength of the Great Qin Lion. Although, in the hearts of many soldiers, they do have such thoughts:

"It's much better to be an officer's food than to take a few yellowed leaves and eat them at once. ”

After hearing such words, Zhang Jiashi did not think about implementing the big pot rice system.

However, let's not talk about the lessons of later generations, just a sentence that Bai Qi said to him made him directly dispel this idea:

"If you want to be directly dismembered by Yingzheng, you can try to do this. ”

Although Zhang Jiashi didn't know why Bai Qi warned him like this, he had to say that Zhang Jiashi didn't feel it at all, Bai Qi was alarmist and scared him. He knew that if he insisted on doing this, then Yingzheng would definitely do the same thing to him.

Zhang Jiashi didn't know that in fact, Ying Zheng was already very dissatisfied with Zhang Jiashi's increase in salary, but he still supported Zhang Jiashi many times without taking any radical moves.

Otherwise, just the fact that Zhang Jiashi's treatment was raised by one level would be enough for Ying Zheng to arrest him in Tingwei Prison and see what is called the ultimate hell of Daqin.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The next development was very unexpected by Zhang Jiashi. Because in addition to some convicts who were constantly complaining, several queues of convicts, holding broken pottery bowls in their hands, lined up one by one in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the cooking battalion under Zhang Jiashi's command, beating meals, and then found a warmer place to squat and eat a few hundred meters away.

Many sick prisoners were treated by military doctors who came with the cooking camp, and many of them were much less sick. Zhang Jiashi, on the other hand, asked Duo Bu to supervise some of the prisoners and deliver food to their residences.

Suddenly, Zhang Jiashi looked at Duo Bu, and he said a word: "After this incident is over, you and a few people who have good prestige among the prisoners, or have a certain strength, but are definitely not unscrupulous, will go back to the barracks with me once." ”

He didn't know why Zhang Jiashi would say such a thing to him, but after looking at Zhang Jiashi for a while, he nodded.

And after Tu Bu left for a while, Zhang Jiashi said to Chen Ping: "If you let these prisoners have a relatively complete management system, Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Although Chen Ping didn't know what the management system Zhang Jiashi was talking about, he could understand a general meaning from Zhang Jiashi's words. He couldn't help but think about it again.

After a while, Zhang Jiashi saw Chen Ping and shook his head gently: "My lord, this matter is very difficult to handle, because even if His Majesty supports your lord to do this, there is a high probability that there will be some problems within these prisoners. Ping believes that once such a problem erupts, I am afraid that it will ......"

Zhang Jiashi heard Chen Ping's last unfinished sentence, and he knew that although Chen Ping said that things were difficult to do, he could hear that Chen Ping did not support him at all.

And Zhang Jiashi didn't say anything, but after showing a wry smile, he silently laughed at himself in his heart: "Sure enough, isn't it okay to change some things directly?"

He did not complain about Chen Ping, but gave up such an idea, because Chen Ping did not support his suggestion, and it was simply out of his own status that he made a proper admonition for the mastermind.

He knew very well that Chen Ping would not harm him, otherwise, he would have heard completely different words.

......

The matter seems to have come to an end after the prisoners were ordered by Zhang Jiashi to return to the camp.

However, Zhang Jiashi did not take it lightly, and he asked Cao Kang and Yao Tong, two two or five hundred masters, to lead the troops, and temporarily stationed two hundred meters west of the Afang Palace construction site to prevent some emergencies from occurring.

And those supervising soldiers, Zhang Jiashi can be said to be quite desperate, after leaving only about half of the supervising soldiers, the others were driven directly outside Xianyang City by Zhang Jiashi, and let Yingzheng deal with this matter.

Zhang Jiashi didn't have time to accompany these good and bad overseers, and slowly wasted time in this place.

After everything seemed to be dealt with, Zhang Jiashi led the officers and soldiers under his command who did not need to be on duty and returned to the barracks.

And the accompanying people were made up of three people. One person is Huang Bu, one person is called Guan Shu, and his identity seems to be that of a scholar. And the last person is Li Cang, who Zhang Jiashi feels that his brave breath is no less than that of Huang Bu.

Although Zhang Jiashi knew very well that there were more than 100,000 of these prisoners, and there were quite a few people who met his requirements, Zhang Jiashi did not ask Huang Bu about the details in this regard. After all, he took the three of them back to the barracks, mainly to get a general idea.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The food in the barracks was fragrant, and many Qin officers and soldiers lined up to eat after putting their weapons away.

In Zhang Jiashi's tent, Zhang Jiashi did not eat, but looked at the three people kneeling on the ground, and he did not think at all that the situation of these prisoners was worse than what he knew.

There are more than 100,000 convicts, and there are more than 40,000 repeat offenders who can be verified by records. And there are many people who are even more ruined because of this or that, and in order to survive, they will commit some crimes of robbing their homes and houses, but they are not guilty of death.

Compared with the causes, and the inmates who were released after completing their sentences, what they experienced, Zhang Jiashi heard a lot of results that he couldn't imagine.

When some prisoners return home, they find that the home they longed for is gone, and he is at a loss and does not know where his path is. As a result, they are returning to their old jobs here in order to survive.

In fact, what happened to these people is still on the best.

More people, although they have found their homes, are ...... Many of them found that this home was completely different from what he imagined.

These people simply can't stand the results of this change.

Zhang Jiashi knew very well that although these things were sad, these poor prisoners also made him only sigh, nothing more.

When a family changes dramatically because of your departure, many of these things are self-inflicted and blameless.

Although Zhang Jiashi has a little Taoist blood, for their sect, cause and effect are also very important. When you do something, you don't necessarily reap the fruit, but many things become unchangeable once you start it.

For example, if Su Qin was reused by King Qin Huiwen when he entered Qin, how could he be so condescending and hanging the beam?

However, this does not mean that Zhang Jiashi cannot do anything to solve some problems that he thinks can be solved.

In Zhang Jiashi's heart, an idea had been gradually brewing and maturing long ago before he returned to the barracks.

After waiting for the three of them to tell Zhang Jiashi what he wanted to know. After Zhang Jiashi was silent for a while, he looked at the three of them, and then said, "Everyone, I don't know how many of the more than 100,000 prisoners will be released after completing their sentences this year?"

After the three of them glanced at each other, their eyes were communicating something.

This was something that the three of them couldn't do, because they didn't know what Zhang Jiashi wanted to do.

In the end, Guan Shu, who was the most eloquent and knowledgeable, said the most important sentence that he would think he would say in his life in the future: "Lord Du, I don't know what you mean?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiashi showed a slight smile: "I want these prisoners to have a new life." ”

......

In the next few days, about 10,000 or so convicts entered the barracks, and under the leadership of Duo Bu and others, they were screened to join Zhang Jiashi's command and become 2,000 convicts.

As a result, Zhang Jiashi looked at the more than 2,000 people, including the cloth, as the pig's head of the prisoner officers and soldiers, and he reluctantly asked Ruan Weng Shao to lead the team to open up and repair a small camp for these prisoner troops on a plain southwest of the barracks.

And Duo Bu and Li Cang are two hundred masters of the prisoner army, temporarily leading the equipment of the Qin army's hundred generals and Yulu.

Of course, on the second day, when Zhang Jiashi checked the progress of the construction of the prisoner's barracks, Zhang Jiashi found that the injuries of the two pig heads, Duo Bu and Li Cang, seemed to have worsened a lot.

Compared to the black cloth who became a panda's eye, Li Cang's injuries seem to be much more serious. Zhang Jiashi saw Li Cang, and when he walked, he subconsciously clamped his feet......

"......" decided to ignore what seemed to be happening between the two, and Zhang Jiashi continued to inspect the construction progress of the barracks.

As for the more than 8,000 people who were brushed down, Zhang Jiashi played the Yingzheng and obtained approval, and after obtaining approval, these more than 8,000 people built a super-large collective farm with an area of 20 square kilometers in the largest wasteland area of Shanglin Yuan.

The construction of this place made Yingzheng not want to approve it. But after Zhang Jiashi told Ying Zheng about the harvest of these prisoners and divided it with Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng, who couldn't cry or laugh, finally had to approve Zhang Jiashi's performance.

Of course, Ying Zheng didn't look at the farm income that he didn't have in his eyes. Instead, he thought about the sentence carved on the song by Zhang Jiashi for a long time before agreeing.

And this sentence is: "Your Majesty, although the prisoners have faults, if they can be allowed to have a new life, then Daqin will save a lot of unnecessary waste, and even have a certain amount of extra income." ”

What Ying Zheng values is Zhang Jiashi's words. He thought that if Zhang Jiashi's business could be successful, then, as Zhang Jiashi said, even if Zhang Jiashi did not say the benefits, Yingzheng would approve it.

The number of prisoners in Daqin is increasing, and Ying Zheng naturally can't ignore it. The law is only a way to punish and warn, but not all criminals are so damned all the time. can give these prisoners a new life, Yingzheng is of course willing to wait and see the success or failure.

After he asked Gonggong Xi to send an edict to Zhang Jiashi, he slowly looked at the sunset outside the window, and slowly pondered something.

In the end, Ying Zheng slowly wrote a sentence with a brush on a blank silk silk: "Benevolence, selfishness, what else is in your heart?"
