The readers who landed here were stunned.

But right now, behind them is the vast ocean, and there are only family scrolls around them, and standing in front of them are the officers and soldiers of Zhao Wangwei who are fighting with open fire.

"Oh my God!" Someone beat their chests and stumbled, letting out a heart-rending wail.

They came here to return to their old lives, not to be Qiu Ba.

So the men here wailed in despair, and the women and the old and weak behind them also cried eagerly.

Such a cry is heart-wrenching, but it is a pity that the officers and soldiers of Zhao Wangwei in front of them have cold faces one by one, and they are not moved at all.

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected, and the people who have come all the way to this Java, who has not survived the suffering?

In their opinion, now that the city has been built, and plantations have risen from the ground, life has been much better, when they came, they were full of dense forests, poisonous snakes, tigers and leopards, and countless natives attacked and harassed, and their relatives and friends around them either died of illness, or were gnawed by Meng's beasts and took away their bones, or were killed by the natives.

In this difficult environment, they survived, and if they were to cry and weep, their throats would have been dry and hoarse, and their tears would have dried up.

At this time, in their eyes, these people who wailed and beat their hands in front of them only made them feel ridiculous.

So the hundred households looked at them coldly and said: "Don't be verbose, register immediately, if anyone dares to disobey, they will be killed." ”

"You...... Do you talk about the king's law! The scholar asked awe-inspiringly.

The faces of these hundred households were unwavering, and they only glanced at the scholar with contempt, and then said slowly: "I'm sorry, His Royal Highness King Zhao is implementing military law!" ”

“……”

Those who do not take up arms will be regarded as weak, those who do not fight will be regarded as cowards, and those who do not absolutely obey orders will be regarded as deserters.

Here, who will talk to you about human favors and what royal law will you talk about? This thing can't protect everyone's lives, and maybe even this stupid idea will kill many people.

Baihu was obviously impatient, and then grabbed the first reader, and said unceremoniously: "Let him come first." ”

Someone shouted, "We...... We're going home, we're going home! ”

"It's okay to go back home." Baihu said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has an order, you need to buy a ferry ticket to return to your hometown, and you need to register to buy a ferry ticket first. ”

"I register, after I register, I can buy a ticket back to my hometown?"

"King Zhao still has an order, after registration, it will be counted as the people under His Royal Highness, all the people under his rule, regardless of the old and weak, need to serve in the reserve guard for seven years, in order to complete the obligation to protect the king and protect the people, after seven years, they can be dismissed, and then they can buy tickets."

“……”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts were cold.

Someone said angrily: "Robbers, you are robbers! ”

Baihu said in a deep voice: "This is the law formulated by the long history of Xie Gong, you dare to say that it is a robber, and what Xie Gong invokes is the words of Confucianism, don't you know that the king is Yier?" It's a shame that you're still studying, and that's especially true as a reader. ”

A group of people continued to cry and cry heartbreakingly, and then they were still being escorted and registered one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the men were sent to the reserve, and the women and children went to the plantation.

This reserve guard, similar to the militia, must learn a certain amount of military knowledge to ensure that in the event of a small-scale natively attack, it can take on the task of attacking. At the same time, in the event of a major war, it can also cooperate with the regular Zhao Wangwei to fight.

Not only that, but they also have to take care of transportation, building roads and bridges, building settlements, and so on.

All the plantations, because of the threat of the natives in the vicinity, had to adopt the method of concentrated cultivation, and after a new plantation was opened, the women, children, and the old and weak took care of the crops, or took care of some captured slaves to cultivate them, and each family, according to the men's military exploits, was given 500 to 50 acres of land for food.

The scholars were different from the ordinary Tuobian Hanmin, as soon as they arrived here, they suddenly understood that this damn King Zhao was not the so-called advocating Confucianism at all, and the corporal of Lixian was not at all.

The law used here is clearly the most well-known "Qin Law" in history.

This law was formed by the Shang Dynasty and was the purest system of cultivation and warfare.

What kind of reading, what kind of saints, that's all.

Even King Zhao needs to inspect the border towns and garrison the border cities every month.

The son of King Zhao, who is now only thirteen years old, has already begun to lead a thousand households to take charge of the defense deployment in the east.

As for Xie Jin's youngest son, he is responsible for some literary and ink work, but his main responsibility is to record military exploits and reward and punish.

In the final analysis, the whole of Java is a huge military camp, and everyone is a part of this military camp, according to the Qin law of Shang Yang as the prototype. Even an old man over the age of sixty may have to take care of the native captives.

However, the only good thing here is that the materials are very abundant, although the advanced manufacturing products of the Ming Dynasty are very scarce, but a large number of plantations, as well as the unique conditions, coupled with the development of many large mines, are enough for people to obtain rich agricultural materials, Qixia Commercial Bank put into production here large-scale textile workshops, enough to meet the local cotton demand for spinning.

Coupled with the many horses purchased from Daming, as well as a large number of livestock, it is enough to make people worry about food and clothing.

At this time......

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was scolding.

He had just returned from the newly built Xinwu'an City, which was far away in the hinterland of the south, a hundred miles away, where it was already deep into the hinterland of the natives, and King Zhao originally planned to go deep into the hinterland of the natives and build this city to attract the attacks of the natives, and then use this salient as a fulcrum to conduct a decisive battle with the natives.

It's a pity that although Zhao Wangwei is exhausted from years of fighting, the natives have been beaten to the point that they have no confidence, and they have not really launched any large-scale offensives from the construction of the city to the present.

It was a busy day, and it also made this new city too far away from the settlement, which increased the burden of supplies.

Zhu Gaosui's temper was very bad, and he failed to set up an ambush, so he could only return to his so-called palace with a belly full of anger.

Immediately, someone announced: "Your Highness, those scholars are here." ”

The one who spoke was Xie Zhencheng, this person was Xie Jin's youngest son, and he was now the sentence of Zhao Guo.

What Zhao adopted was a vassal system, which almost perfectly copied the official system of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the six parts of the Ming Dynasty are called ministries, and the vassal states claim to be downgraded to one level, only called the six Cao, and the chief official of each Cao is called the judgment.

Within the Zhao State, there were six Cao, but they were different from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Household were the most prominent, followed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.

But in the Zhao State, because the pure Qin law was adopted, the most prominent ones were the soldiers Cao and the criminal Cao who was in charge of the criminal law. All other matters have to be compromised in front of the military and criminal law.

As for the so-called etiquette, it is basically a fictitious thing, and it belongs to the honorary position of eating idle meals.

When Zhu Gaosui heard this, Fang Cai's anger disappeared all of a sudden, and he was overjoyed: "How is it, how many are here?" ”

"There were four hundred and thirty-seven households, three thousand nine hundred and forty, of whom two thousand four hundred and thirty were males." Xie Zhen became enlightened.

Zhu Gaosui frowned, with a slight hint of disgust in his eyes, and said, "That's it?" These people can't even fill a small town. It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Xie Zhencheng comforted: "My father has a letter to come, saying that everything cannot be rushed. ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded, and then sighed: "When this king is employing people, even these useless scholars are not ......."

Shake your head.

Xie Zhencheng said again: "There is one more thing......

"Say."

"Liu Chunlai, a hundred households stationed in the local Jinyi Guard, came to ask for people."

"Huh?" Zhu Gaosui raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.

His impression of Jinyiwei is not bad, Jinyiwei has set up a hundred households here, but it seems that Jinyiwei and King Zhao have a tacit understanding, that is, Jinyiwei tries his best to collect information about the military situation of the natives for them and share information with each other. King Zhao was not worried about these brocade guards suing him in front of the emperor, so the relationship between the two sides was more of a mutual aid.

At this time, King Zhao asked, "Suo people, who are they asking?" ”

Xie Zhencheng replied truthfully: "This Liu Baihu said that in order to spy on the situation in Java, His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County specially sent some people to enter Java by mail ship in the name of scholars, and the result was ...... These people, as soon as they landed, were all registered by our people, and sent to the reserve guards, and now they are all sent to mine and repair bridges. Liu Baihu said that it was the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, so ......"

Zhu Gaosui's anger rose again, and he scolded and said: "Brother Zhang is really unkind, he secretly stuffed his tiqi in Java, and he didn't say hello!" ”

After a pause, he changed his words and said, "In that case, then let it go." There are only a few horsemen, there is no need to break the relationship with Jinyiwei. ”

Xie Zhencheng said helplessly: "It's not just a few, it's one hundred and twenty-seven people......"

Zhu Gaosui: "......"

After being silent for a while, Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but scold again: "Of these 400 households, there are more than 120 horsemen in them? This king thought that this was a bowl of porridge mixed with sand, but who expected that a bowl of sand was stuffed with porridge! ”

Xie Zhencheng also smiled bitterly: "It seems that because my father is in the capital, the king of Wuhu County is suspicious, so he sent a large number of horsemen to ......."

After a pause, Xie Zhencheng remembered something important, and said, "Your Highness, can these people let go?" ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Let it go, of course you have to put it, who would dare to take the people of Jinyiwei?" Zhang Anshi is cunning, he will secretly beat this king's black gun. But ......"

When Zhu Gaosui said this, he stopped suddenly, he squinted slightly, thought about it carefully, and then said word by word: "Just say that it will be screened, and then released in a month, let these people dig for a month first, and then talk about it, and now people are employed everywhere ......."

Xie Zhencheng pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's okay." ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Why is this? ”

Xie Zhencheng said: "My father once said that what Jin Yiwei is best at is dismantling letters, or forging letters, as well as reviewing and distributing various packages. With such a large number of people coming this time, it is inevitable that they will be allowed to exchange letters with China, and if these scholars who come here are allowed to talk nonsense, they will not dare to come to Java again. ”

Zhu Gaosui involuntarily raised his hands behind his back and paced back and forth.

He looked hesitant, so he glanced at Xie Zhencheng and said, "What else did your father say?" ”

Xie Zhencheng said: "My father said that people can be released, and Jinyiwei needs to prepare a large number of people to be responsible for the review of the letters, and even ...... Some letters, which can be forged, in short, to create a reputation that Java is a paradise on earth, so that there is no fear that there will be no endless people behind. ”

Zhu Gaosui looked at Xie Zhencheng deeply, his eyes lit up, and said, "Jin Yiwei really has this ability?" ”

Xie Zhencheng nodded and said: "That's what they do, I heard that there are many masters of copying in many hundred households." Under normal circumstances, when their relatives and friends get the letter, they will not deliberately distinguish it, even if they notice the slightest abnormality, they will not suspect it. ”

After a pause, he continued: "My father has explained, this matter is very important, our Zhao Wangwei has also trained a few scholars who copy it, but their level is limited, Jinyiwei is different, there is a special special study class in the official academy, which specializes in teaching this way, and the people who have dropped out of business from there are all high-ranking people." ”

Zhu Gaosui's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "This is great, this king is now worried that no one is available, and he is thirsty for talents, if it can really be like this, then wouldn't it be every once in a while, and a group of people will be sent?" Hurry, hurry up and get those horsemen to come out of the reserve guard for me, and they will be entertained alive, and the king of tomorrow will personally go and apologize, and then send them back to the hundred households. ”

Xie Zhen said: "Your Highness is wise. ”

Zhu Gaosui put his hands behind his back, and Zhu Gaosui at this time, wearing a python robe, had gotten rid of the roe deer in Nanjing City, and replaced it with the vicissitudes of life after the destruction of the years.

He sighed, raised his head slightly, and said word by word: "For the foundation of my Zhao country, this king must be a corporal of courtesy, so that he can recruit talents from all over the world and show his ambitions to my Zhao country." ”

Xie Zhencheng said: "Then the minister will go and report to Liu Baihu." ”

"Come back."

Xie Zhen's foot, which was about to step out, was retracted and stopped to look at Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui said: "Prepare a gift, now we have something to ask for someone to send the tiger skin that the king has newly peeled." ”

"Yes."

…………

A letter was sent to Honglu Temple.

Xie Jin looked very tired.

He chatted with people almost every day, especially when the imperial examination was imminent, many scholars entered Beijing, and many of them were proud of their ability to meet their opinions.

Xie Jin encouraged them a lot, encouraging them to keep studying no matter what the situation is.

Since the imperial court promulgated the New Deal Decree, the New Deal was started with great fanfare, and a large number of so-called "rebellious parties" were executed.

The gentry and scholars everywhere in the world are in the same circle, and almost every day they spread all kinds of anxious news to each other.

In this situation, people's resentment and anxiety, as well as the huge pressure brought about by the uncertainty of the future, have overwhelmed many people.

A flag-like figure like Xie Gong gives people a sense of relief, like a spring breeze, warming the hearts of the scholars.

"The imperial road should be cleared, and the Ming Court will be contained and studied. When the poor festival is seen, one by one. Xie Jin smiled and continued to many visiting readers: "The more at this time, the more important is the character of the reader, and he should not be happy, angry, or sad. ”

Everyone burst into tears when they heard this, and some people choked up.

So, someone shook his head secretly.

They admired Xie Jin's courage, and at this juncture, he still dared to question the king in the palace.

He lost his eldest son because of his backbone, and was exiled to Java because he refused to grovel and put a good future on his feet.

And now, he still has the same original intention, so that every word he says seems to contain some unknown power.

】

"Be taught."

"Xie Gong, I heard that many people have gone to Java, I don't know what their situation is?"

Xie Jin said: "Java is really hard now......

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, if Xie Jin brags indiscriminately, everyone may still question it, this can be the beginning, but it makes people admire Xie Jin's honesty.

"But what Java practices is the royal way, and the sage said: If you don't violate the agricultural time, you can't eat the grain; The number of dogs does not enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten; The axe catty enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber is not usable. Grain and fish and turtles can not be eaten, timber and wood can not be used, it is to make the people live and die without regrets. There is no regret in health and death, and the beginning of the royal road is also. ”

Xie Jin continued slowly: "Because of this, although this place is still quite difficult, because of the widespread implementation of the royal road, respect for scholars, His Royal Highness King Zhao Lixian, and adopted a different governance method from the current Zhili New Deal, so the people can live and work in peace and contentment, so they ...... Although the princes are uprooted from their hometowns this time, they finally have peace in their hearts, adopt the system of their ancestors, reassure people's hearts, respect the king, and make the royal road ......"

He babbled about it, and everyone listened very carefully, and then, they couldn't help but sigh and sigh for it.

People are like this, they are extremely dissatisfied with the current New Deal, and they need to create a beautiful utopia to sustenance their spirit.

Therefore, Xie Jin has repeatedly stated that there are some places in Java that are indeed insufficient.

But in the ears of others, these flaws are automatically ignored.

So, the scholars left satisfied, and after word of mouth again and again, the words of interpretation were constantly widely sung.

After entertaining this group of scholars.

Xie Jin sighed, he only felt that his tongue was a little numb.

He asked the waiter, "What time is it?" ”

"It's ...... the unitary hour"

"It's the best time to go." Xie Jin said: "Let someone report first, please tell His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County that the subordinate Xie Jin is going to visit, and there are many inconveniences during the day, so I have to disturb it late at night." In addition, everything we have prepared is ready, it is time to meet His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu for a while! ”

"Whoa."

…………

There is also a monthly pass at night.
