Chapter 508 Ordinary criminals, laborers for one to three years can be Qin. Moderate criminals, three to five years of labor, can be Qin.

High-level criminals, laborers can be Qin people for five to ten years. Special-class criminals will be laborers of Daqin for life, or they will be directly sentenced to death.

This is the level of sinners divided by Qin Xi, and to a certain extent, let these sinners see a certain hope.

The criminal system seems inhumane, but Qin Xi is still very humane to the criminals. He worked five hours a day, was well fed, warmly dressed, and slept in a dormitory.

This condition is even better than the original life of these sinners, not to mention that the children are still in school.

In addition, the convict will be paid after a month's work, although it is not much, but he can buy some things he needs at the end of the month.

Even, after the technology reaches a certain level, the salary will increase, and then you can rent a house instead of living in a group dormitory.

Qin Xi's series of operations made some Confucian officials who came to Xianyang to inspect speechless, but instead said that Qin Xi was too merciful to the people and consumed the treasury too much.

Qin Xi just pouted and ignored this, Xiao He, the secretary of the Ministry of People's Affairs, has not spoken yet to manage the treasury, you guys are talking nonsense.

On this day, Qin Xi was thinking about how to build a bridge over the Luo River. In modern times, it would be very simple to move away from large machines and large ships and build bridges over the Luo River.

However, during the Great Qin period, it was very difficult to build Daqiao across the Luo River. At this time, Meng Yi suddenly came to bid farewell to Qin Xi.

"Your Highness, the minister is here to resign today." Meng Yi arched his hand and said.

"Are you going back to Xianyang?" Qin Xi asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will set off with Lord Xiao and them tomorrow." Meng Yi said. Qin Xi nodded and said, "It's really time to go back, it's a bit overkill for you to stay here." By the way, after I go back, help me call Liu Ji from my guest house. ”

"No." Qin Xi suddenly turned around and showed two jars of wine, and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, let's drink some together?" ”

"This~ that minister is disrespectful." Meng Yi just hesitated for a moment and couldn't resist the temptation, after all, who doesn't know that the best wine in the world is in the hands of the prince.

The good wine in the hands of the crown prince cannot be easily drunk even by His Majesty, let alone others. A plate of braised meat, a plate of melon seeds, and two jars of wine, Qin Xi and Meng Yi chatted.

"Your Highness, according to this scale, this construction method, when will this Luoyang City be completed," Meng Yi asked.

Qin Xi smiled: "I guess it's not just you asking this, it's estimated that many people are asking this in their hearts." But I think it can be done in 10 or 8 years at most. ”

"Ten or eight years, that's pretty fast." Meng Yi said with a smile.

"That's the opposite, isn't it?" Qin Xi threw a melon seed at Meng Yi and said, "This city building is not a trivial matter. Luoyang City should not only consider the rapid construction, but also the future development. ”

"Since I am responsible for this matter, it is not difficult for me to see that Luoyang City will have this and that kind of problems in the future. Believe it or not, the Luoyang City I planned can last for thousands of years. Qin Xi said confidently.

"I believe it! What His Highness said has always been fulfilled. Meng Yi raised his glass and toasted Qin Xi.

Qin Xi ate the braised pork and said: "I really, sometimes I really don't care about anything, just sit by the pond, lie there with a fishing rod and bask in the sun, how comfortable it is for such a day." ”

"It's a pity that you're the crown prince." Meng Yi said with a smile.

"That's right, it's a pity that I'm the crown prince, and I have a father who doesn't make people worry, there are some things that I really can't do." Qin Xi sighed.

"Let's talk about this matter in Luoyang City, it seems that everything is on the right track now, just wait for the charges to keep coming, in fact, there are still a lot of things to worry about."

"Let's just say that this Luohe Bridge is definitely an unprecedented bridge, how to build it, what kind of construction can be built to ensure that it will not fall for hundreds or even thousands of years, it has to be nerve-wracking."

"Your Highness, if it really can't be built, forget it, it is not a problem to divide Luoyang into the northern city and the southern city, and it is the same to build a few docks." Meng Yi said.

"Nope! To be built! Must be built! Qin Xi said: "This is a time to show the world the industrial capabilities of Great Qin!" Although it is said that Daqin's industry has only just started, it is like a baby. ”

"Industrial? Infant? What are you, Your Highness, are you drunk? Meng Yi said with a smile.

"I'm not drunk." Qin Xi let go of Meng Yi's hand shaking in front of his eyes and said, "It seems that I have time to write a book to let you know what industry is, otherwise this is playing the piano to the cow." ”

"Hahaha! It's a good cow to play the piano, but it's a pity that I'm a cow, I really don't know the meaning of His Highness's piano. Meng Yi laughed.

Qin Xi dipped his fingers in some wine, and then drew two lines on the table compared to Luohe. Qin Xi said: "It's a pity that our ability is insufficient, and if we want to build a bridge, we can only divert the Luo River first, then dig up the bottom of the river, and then slowly build it." ”

"The amount of work is huge, and it will definitely take a lot of time, but there is no way, this bridge must be built, and several more must be built."

"Alas! However, building a bridge is never just a matter of erecting a few cement pillars and laying a few wooden planks, and there are many extremely complex technologies that need to be studied. For this reason, now my research institute is starting to move, and most of them are coming. Meng Yi raised his glass and said, "Your Highness has really done your best for Daqin, and I admire you!" When Qin Xi took a drink, he smiled and said, "Actually, I am also selfish." After all, I am the crown prince, this Luoyang is the future capital of the country, if it is not built better, I will not be comfortable in the future. ”

"This is true, Your Highness is for the future, but also for yourself." Meng Yi laughed drunkenly.

Qin Xi stuffed the last piece of braised pork into his mouth, lay down while chewing, and said, "Daqin is still too backward after all, and I don't know how long it will take to reach my ideal level." ”

"Airplanes are flying in the sky, high-speed trains are flying on the ground, cars are running on the ground, mobile phones are in their hands, TVs are hanging on the walls, and computers are on the table."

"You can catch the moon with nine stars, and you can hunt for treasure in the deep sea. The journey of 10,000 miles is only one day, and the exchanges at home and abroad are only fleeting. What a beautiful time it was," Meng Yi smiled drunkenly: "Your Highness, you are drunk, what you say, I don't understand a word." Meng Yi said and lay down.

"Drunk, drunk, say something."

"Truth is only within the range of cannons, and dignity is only above the sword peak!"

"Get up! Reluctance to ······" Qin Xi lay on the ground and hummed drunkenly, and after a while, the sound of snoring sounded.

Yin Ya originally came to call Qin Xi to finish eating, but as soon as she came in, she saw Qin Xi and Meng Yi drunk there, snoring louder than the other.

"Really, drunk again." After Yin Ya complained, she retreated.
