Chapter 368: Shenzhou Shock
"There are no innocents!" Lan Hai spoke at this time, "Have you ever thought that if these rebellions succeed, will they let us all go?"
This...... Xiao Hao was suddenly stuck. After all, Xiao Hao still has some shadows of the past in his heart, and he has not completely extinguished that little softness in his heart. It was just a rhetorical question from Lan Hai, which immediately made Xiao Hao understand...... Reality is reality.
Sometimes, if you can't make a decision, then it's a good idea to empathize, and after Xiao Hao empathizes, he suddenly has a decision. In some existential battles, excessive kindness can only lead to one's own danger - that is not kindness, it is brain-dead.
"Then ...... Let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" Xiao Hao closed his eyes in some pain. In fact, in Xiao Hao's opinion, babies and young children are really innocent, if you want to say that adults still pretend to be confused, then children really don't understand anything. However, thinking of the brutal killing of the Oriental island country in another world, Xiao Hao hardened his heart in an instant.
The final order began to be issued, and everyone signed and sealed the final order. Then Xiao Hao gave an order in the form of a holy decree. Since he killed him, he killed it completely, Xiao Hao didn't want any "prince's revenge" to appear on him.
Because of the unprecedented victory of the trading center, Xuguo suddenly had a strong prestige, and thousands of masters after the purple qi rose eastward, and the rebels had no choice but to run. In less than ten days, more than 500,000 people were arrested, including aristocrats, merchants, landlords, bullies, and ordinary people, from the gray-haired old man to the young child waiting to be fed, all of whom were gathered near the trading center, and under the watchful eyes of all countries and even races, Xuguo launched a public trial.
Yes, an open trial! Axu Guo once again attracted all attention with his unique political simulation. So much so that the trading center almost announced a three-day temporary vacation.
Below Trading Central. On a stage temporarily built with supernatural powers, Xiao Hao, Mo Xinfang, and Han Yufeng were the representatives, and countless judges, large and small, tried these people. Some of the rest of the officials lined up next to him.
"Take the prisoner!"
Two elite soldiers first brought in a man who was still dressed in aristocratic attire and had not even been mistreated. There was no kneeling, no scolding, the aristocratic prisoner was stuffed into a chair and sat opposite everyone.
"Didn't kneel?" some viewers keenly observed. In the human race, when facing officials, especially high-ranking officials of the imperial court, especially when the other party is still a prisoner. Kneeling is almost "customary". Especially the identity of the prisoner, he even has to take a few kicks, and those who don't kneel have to be served with a big stick.
In fact, not to mention the audience, even the aristocratic prisoner who was brought up was surprised; this aristocratic prisoner was the original Qinzhou Bo - Sheng Zhao; but at this time, Sheng Zhao had long since lost his original spirit, and at this moment he was depressed, like an old man in his last years. Defeated, all his activities were defeated, so much so that even the youngest child, who had just been born for a few days, was taken away.
Although Xiao Hao watched, he did not participate in the personal trial, and the trial was carried out by Han Yufeng. In the Asahi country. Now that the rule of law has been established, everything needs to be done in accordance with the law. Before the trial was over, Xiao Hao couldn't even come forward to interrogate.
Han Yufeng raised his hand lightly, picked up the startling wood, and with a "snap", it attracted everyone's attention. "Sheng Zhao, as the head of the legal department of Xuguo, I will judge you on behalf of Xuguo's law.
For the crime of treason. What do you disagree?"
"I'm just retrieving my stuff. Sheng Zhao's attitude was calm.
"When we surrendered, the two sides had already agreed on the terms. We executed. And it's done without compromise, so why haven't you done it? As for getting your stuff back? Can I ask, where did your stuff come from?"
"That's a lot of questions. Well, when we surrendered, there were pitfalls to all the conditions you promised. It's hard for us to sustain it at all.
In addition, I got my original things from the royal court. Instead, you have taken it violently from me. "This Sheng Zhao is also a talent, and this kung fu has already grasped the posture of Xuguo - to be a showman, and to convince others. Although I don't know the exact thing, it is enough to grasp this core.
At this time, Sheng Zhao also had some ideas, if he could refute Xu Guo, he was speechless. Maybe I still have a chance to live, and for this line of life, I fight!
It's a pity that because of ideological insight and other reasons, this Sheng Zhao knows one thing and doesn't know the other, what he sees is only an appearance, and he doesn't see that Xiao Hao and Xu Guo want to achieve a deeper purpose through this trial. The deeper purpose is not to have a fair trial, but to expose the darkness of the past in order to achieve Xiao Hao's political goals.
"There are no traps in our treaty. Han Yufeng's tone was sonorous and powerful, "Actually, those agreements signed with you are much easier than ordinary people and ordinary businessmen. I don't believe it, there are many businessmen who belong to Haizhou on the scene, and they all began to accept the commercial law of Haizhou a year ago. There are also a lot of ordinary Haizhou civilians here, and you can also ask the people around you. In front of the whole world, we can't cheat.
Come on, you just ask anyone, ask them about it, and then you make your own affairs public and reason about it in front of the whole world. ”
Sheng Zhao felt that something was wrong with the situation, but he was already about to go to the guillotine at this time, so he had no scruples. After looking around, I found a big businessman to ask (Xuguo is prosperous in business, and this Sheng Zhao also knows a lot of businessmen).
"Count Shengzhao, we meet again. The middle-aged, slightly chubby, businessman staggered to the front of Sheng Zhao. The conversation between the two was all broadcast through the supernatural powers.
"Okay Fang Chengyang, among all the businessmen I know, you are relatively upright. ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense!" Fang Chengyang waved his hand with a not very good face, "When you decided to rebel, the two of us were on opposite sides. Now that you are so good to us merchants, you want to overthrow you, and from that point of view alone, you are the enemy of all of us. However, for the sake of the honor of the Asahi Kingdom, today I swear to the heavens, to the ancestors, and to the descendants. All words are true, and if there is a falsehood, all of our Chengyang lineage will be extinct!"
The sonorous and powerful words immediately made all the businessmen in Xuguo applaud. This is a poisonous oath, but this poisonous oath is a little respectful even if the foreigners look at Fang Chengyang. In the realm of businessmen, backbone followed by credibility. is the most popular quality.
Sheng Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling as if he had something he hadn't thought of. But at this time, I couldn't care about this, so I thought about it for a while before asking: "As far as I know, the lowest price of scallops sold on the beach is 3 copper plates a catty, why do we buy 5 copper plates?"
Fang Chengyang had a sneer in the corner of his eyes: "Then let me ask, what month are the three copper plates, and what month are the five copper plates?"
Sheng Zhao replied without thinking about it, obviously impressed: "Three copper plates in April and May, five copper plates in late summer." ”
"Haha......" Fang Chengyang hadn't laughed yet, but the businessmen around him laughed. Some of the merchants laughed, a dark look of anger. Before Fang Chengyang could speak, a businessman rushed up angrily, "You damn nobles don't care about the lives of civilians at all. From March to June, the scallops are harvested, and when they are abundant and easy to catch, they are in abundance and easy to catch, and when they reach the end of summer or even autumn, they enter the recuperation period and the scallops disappear in large numbers. At this time, you have to brave the cold waters to fish. Is the price of 5 copper plates too much? In winter, the price of scallops has risen to 20 copper plates!
You aristocrats never care about the lives and deaths of the commoners, and you usually use this method to exploit us. Let's be miserable. And now you still use such a reason to justify going to Nima. ”
"Kill him, kill him!" Many of the merchants were obviously aroused by the sadness, and they were immediately excited! Even because this place was close to the sea, many civilians came to watch, and everyone roared together.
Fang Chengyang looked at Sheng Zhan with a sneer, not bothering to say a word.
"Be quiet, be quiet!" Han Yufeng took a lot of effort to calm down the scene. Then he looked at Sheng Zhao. "If you have any other questions, just ask them in front of everyone, and we won't stop them. ”
"Okay!" Sheng Zhao, who was already a little broken, spoke again almost without hesitation, "Xiao Hao took 30% of the tax from me, is this the case with you?" Before the Kingdom of Xu, the Great Departure Royal Court would not even collect taxes on merchants!"
"I'm hey!" the merchant who rushed up just now turned red again, "Sancheng? I'm also Sancheng!" But in Xuguo, after collecting the 30% tax, the remaining 70% is completely ours, and the state will not levy another copper plate. The most important thing is that it offers a good business environment and even a law specifically designed to protect the rights of merchants.
As for why the royal court does not collect taxes, I really want to slap you in the face! You nobles take away from merchants, and many merchants are so rich that they are even confiscated by a random charge. The wealth I had struggled for more than ten years was taken away by a local baron who made an excuse at random, leaving me with only an empty house, my young child, who was actually killed alive!"
Then there were some comparative dialogues, and gradually Sheng Zhao could be regarded as seeing the arrangement of Xiao Hao and Xu Guo clearly, and he turned out to be a typical example of the opposite! And after comparison, Sheng Zhao found that he actually had a little bit to do, such as having a house, a base, a warehouse, etc., these things Xiao Hao did not collect taxes from himself. And in this process, Xiao Hao clearly put forward a concept - taken from the people, and used these four words to answer the psychology of those nobles. On the contrary, Xiao Hao took the opportunity to promote Xuguo's idea of "using it for the people".
"Papa......" clapped his palms, Xiao Hao stood up at this time, and immediately attracted the respectful eyes of almost all businessmen and civilians on the scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone understands the outcome of this trial. I think that the greed and discontentment of the aristocracy, selfishness, disregard for human life, and wanton trampling on the dignity of the common people have been clearly seen by everyone. Then now I declare that, according to the laws of Xuguo, 322 people from Sheng Zhao's family will be killed!"
"Kill, kill him, kill his whole family!"
......
People were surging wildly, and Xiao Hao skillfully aroused the resentment of the whole people.
Next, the nobles were tried one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene reached a high 'v' tide. By judging the nobles, Xiao Hao almost completely opened up the various sins of the nobles. Countless heinous acts have made countless people angry, and some nobles are simply beasts.
"Ling Chi!
"Yes, let them taste all the torture!
People are surging wildly, and even Xiao Hao's elite soldiers can't stop the crazy people.
"Everyone, please calm down. Listen to me. Xiao Hao has already established his prestige, and a simple sentence and action made the scene completely calm. Xiao Hao looked at all the people around him with a smile, "Everyone, there are more than 100,000 of these nobles and bullies, and it is time-consuming and laborious to execute them one by one. After our discussions. I decided to put these people on trial. Everyone has revenge and grievances. After registration, you can receive one or more prisoners to be judged by themselves. ”
"Good !!" people were stunned for a moment, and then an unprecedented "enthusiasm" broke out.
"I want the Baron's family in Danqiu County, I'm going to starve them all to death!" the merchant who had been the most fierce before rushed to the registration office that had just been made almost frantically.
"Yes. We will examine the body at the end. In the process, there will be spot checks. If you let the prisoners go......"
"If the prisoner runs away, I'll send my head to apologize!"
"Okay. This is the family of the baron of Danqiu County, a total of 37 people. You go with the soldier next to you. ”
"Thank you, thank you. The merchant said. took out a golden ticket from his arms, which was a portable banknote issued by Xu in China.
"Don't hurt me. The little official in charge of registration was suddenly sweating profusely, "If I take your money today, you will go to the execution ground tomorrow to see me." If you really want to be grateful, then it is my greatest gratitude to me to keep a little morality and bottom line in the future business in Xuguo. ”
"Don't worry, illegal things will definitely not appear in Xuguo!" The conversation between the two clearly expressed a meaning - inside Xuguo, not in Xuguo's place.
Then businessmen, civilians, and so on lined up to collect them, and 100,000 prisoners were "taken away" in one day. Xiao Hao received part of the information that night. Merchants and civilians alike went crazy, and all sorts of cruel things went on one after another.
"Isn't it too much?" even if Blue Ocean saw this and wrote the message. All frowned a little.
"It's fine, to be expected. Think of these aristocrats as atonement for their past actions. In fact, we are condemning the rebellious nobles, and those who did not rebel are not in good shape.
The most taboo in politics is the grass on the wall, and our policy has long been set; it is only because of the needs of reality that we will temporarily embrace the aristocracy, but it does not mean that we really accept the aristocracy. The whole aristocratic system has long since decayed, if we accept the aristocracy. These rotten breaths are bound to pollute us here. Therefore, it is the most correct way to use any effective method to win over the common people and establish our prestige. Xiao Hao threw the information aside.
"Those who did not rebel are trembling. Lan Hai sighed slightly, feeling a little sad about the dead rabbit and the fox.
"As long as they don't rebel. Just stay honest, and there is no trouble in raising a bunch of idlers. ”
Next to him, the corners of Mo Xinfang's mouth curled, Xiao Hao was protecting those nobles, but he lost his original social status and source of wealth, how to make these nobles comfortable, many nobles had to dismiss a large number of guards and attendants, etc.
Ten days later, Xiao Hao interrogated again, this time with 400,000 rebels other than the noble bullies, mainly civilians. At this time, many of the onlookers still had a murderous aura on their bodies. Xiao Hao knew at a glance that in the past ten days, these guys have changed their tricks to toss those nobles, and the wisdom of the working people has been fully exerted in this punishment, and many nobles have to commit suicide to end their painful lives.
And after such an action, Xiao Hao has completely opened the invisible shackles in the hearts of the people, and the spirit of these people is undergoing obvious changes. They have become more confident and aggressive, and their waists seem to be much straighter.
The 400,000 captives were so vast that even if they were all pressed together, they would not be able to see the edge. Among the 400,000 people, many children are still crying, and many adults are hanging their heads. They had also heard about the treatment of those aristocratic bullies a few days ago, and many of them had even lost hope for the future.
Xiao Hao floated in mid-air, quietly looking down. Han Yufeng still came forward to preside over the trial. "Ladies and gentlemen, has the Asahi Kingdom ever treated you badly? Give you dignity, give you land, and special legislation to protect you. Even developed commerce has brought you wealth and the means of subsistence. We only have one-tenth of the tax, which is far lower than the almost ordinary tax in the past, and there are no all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Two-thirds of the places affected by the war have been exempted from your taxes this year. In some places, we also open warehouses to release grain.
I want to ask, has Xuguo ever treated you badly?
The only thing you can ask for is only a tenth of your food, but the Asahi Kingdom has provided you with an excellent living environment. Let you live in silence. Those who joined the army were all paid for by the state. What are you not satisfied with!! this entire Dongsheng Shenzhou, I dare to say that the policies of Xuguo are well-deserved first. Now there are merchants from all over China, even from other races. Go and ask, where is there a place like Xuguo!
Why are you rebelling?
Could it be that Shengmi Endou Mi is hateful? Is there a representative who speaks!"
"Your Excellency, we have been bewitched and confused for a while. Adults spare their lives. Woo woo......" Suddenly such a sound came, and then countless captives reacted, and immediately cried. 400,000 people wept. What a spectacle.
"Confused for a while?" Han Yufeng sneered, "So, what about those innocent people who were killed by you? They weren't confused, but you bastards killed them." Aren't all those horrible things done by you? Could it be that all these evils can be fooled over with a single word of confusion?
Looks like you're really confused. Whatever the reason, you have given up on your conscience and morality when you have done it against your own people, and since you have given up, do not expect others to forgive you.
I'm too lazy to judge you one by one. According to the laws of Asahi Country. The whole family of the rebel was buried together. Those who did not kill your three tribes and nine tribes were already considered merciful. ”
These 400,000 captives. Facing the fate of being killed again. It's just that they were taken away in batches, and they were going to use their blood to cleanse the rivers and control those that had not been completely controlled by the Terrans. The location of this Asahi Kingdom is actually very remote, and it can almost be said that it is the farthest ruling area of the Terrans in the East, so there are still many places here that are occupied by foreign races, especially the water veins affected by the dragon clan.
It's just that after a series of arrangements by Xiao Hao. No one ever interceded for these 400,000 people anymore. Everyone felt that these captives were seeking their own death! Xu Guo not only did not treat them badly, but instead saved them from the dire situation, but these guys actually rebelled! In fact, many onlookers around wanted to come up and kill a few of them.
As the so-called justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, after a series of public trials in Haizhou, Xiao Hao and Xu Guo's prestige suddenly climbed to a peak.
And with such a good opportunity. Xiao Hao did not give up, and taking the opportunity, Xiao Hao announced a series of profiles of Xuguo.
First of all, the kingdom of Xuguo completely abolished slavery and abolished some inhumane punishments. However, these punishments are not completely abolished, but are temporarily sealed, and they will be brought out if cruel criminals appear. At the same time, the Rising Kingdom completely abolished the bad habit of kneeling.
Secondly, Xiao Hao announced that after the year, Xuguo would officially move its capital to Li Guangcheng and officially establish the country. At that time, the world will be invited to gather brilliantly.
Third, Xiao Hao exploded a bombshell, and the line of Autumn Leaves Wutong Mountain will be completely transferred to Xuguo and become the protector sect of Xuguo, and Yang Sheng will be the first elder of Qiuye Wutong Mountain. Autumn leaves Wutong Mountain has officially become one of the hundred craft schools, and has two masters of the sun and moon with the same light!
Fourth, the scope of selection after Akiba Wutong Mountain is only limited to the territory of Asahi Province. And after the founding of the country, Akiba Wutong Mountain will also be opened to all unmarried men and women under the age of 15 in the Asahi Kingdom (in ancient times, some people had children at the age of 14). The first batch of Akiba Wutong Mountain is expected to enroll 500 students.
As soon as this news came out, it exploded! A school that completely belongs to the Asahi Kingdom, a school that suddenly rises like the rising sun, and the ancestor of the epiphany is still the head of the contemporary generation. You must know that although many of the Baigong schools are masters of the sun and moon together, they are basically in the past;
In the past few days, the story of the rise of Akiba Wutong Mountain stepping on the heads of 11 masters of the sun and moon has already spread all over the country.
After several months of continuous action, Xuguo has shaken the entire Shenzhou. The new system, the new policy, the sudden appearance of the Autumn Leaves Wutong Mountain, and the collapse of the Miscellaneous Family and the Li Zongfa Family finally caused a huge wave of earth-shattering waves. (To be continued......)
