Chapter 161: Xu Fu has made an indelible contribution to Great Qin!
"The criminal minister Xu Fu, disobeyed the king's order, did not go to sea, and it was difficult to die ......"
Jing announced Xu Fu's trial with a solemn gaze.
"The car cracks!"
Although Xu Fu died, the punishment could not be spared.
When the cold words fell, everyone kneeling on the ground was shocked!
"You were deceived by Xu Fu, stranded in Fusang, violated the king's order, should be beheaded according to the law, Your Majesty's holy grace, degraded to the concubines, and migrated for ten years."
This is the result of Zhao Si's best efforts.
Xu Fu's capital crime is inevitable, and he is the real culprit.
However, except for Xu Fu, most of the rest are victims.
Zhao Si lived here back then, and they also had some affection for each other, but the law of punishment was not afraid of power, and the first emperor exempted them from capital crimes, which was already considered extrajudicial mercy.
All those who stayed with Xu Fu, whether voluntarily or forced, were demoted to concubines.
Then it was assigned to Fusang for ten years to contribute to the construction of Fuso.
"Your Majesty's Holy Grace!"
Ten years of subordinate concubines!
Seems to be heavy...... But there is no corporal punishment, there is no need to die...... It is not unacceptable that they even have the hope of returning to their homeland.
"Jing ......"
One opened his mouth.
"Are you in charge of Fuso?" The eyes of the man who spoke were full of hope.
Of course, they hope that all matters in Fusang will be presided over by Jing, at least they know Jing and have a little affection.
The life of officials and slaves is not easy, with Jing, they will have a greater chance of survival, and it is human instinct to survive.
"Not really...... But don't worry, I'm staying in Fuso with you, and I know very well what happened back then. Everyone was coaxed by Xu Fu and forced to stay here......" Jing smiled, and when he looked back, he saw that Daqin's twenty warships were slowly docking in port.
"Of course...... Some people are not forced. ”
Xu Fu is not the only careerist.
Fortunately, Jing's memory is not bad.
As soon as Jing's voice fell, there were already people in the crowd who were crawling on the ground who wanted to burst out.
Jing Yan is fast, and he stabs with a sword!
The scene was chaotic in an instant, some people ran, some people arrested, and some people rioted and killed.
"Catch them, they are the ones who make us stranded on the island!"
A wise person will not fail to understand the meaning of Jing.
For those who have been deceived and forced to stay here, Jing will not be counted.
However, Jing will not let go of Xu Fu's accomplice at the beginning.
The sword rose again, and when the Great Qin soldiers began to land, the soldiers had already been extinguished.
They held the head of the betrayer and bowed down with a flattering smile on their faces.
Waiting for Jing's next instructions.
"Abandon the army and unload the ......"
"Are the natives still moving?" Jing patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder.
"Uncle Wang still remembers me and follows me if he wants to come."
The middle-aged man followed Jing with a flattering smile on his face, and the rest of the people discarded their weapons, undressed their armor, and fell prostrate on the ground, cowering.
"Let these natives tie their hands and feet." Jing opened.
The "nobles" call the shots...... The native didn't know what was happening, he only knew that their master had chosen to give up resistance.
Of course, they also gave up resistance.
When they have the support of the master, they are not afraid of life and death and are unscrupulous, but after the master is soft, they have no fighting spirit at all, and they are slaughtered by others.
"That's a good teaching......" Jing looked at the obedient native slave who tied his hands and feet, and his eyes lit up.
"That's that, although the people of this place are short, but they are better than being able to endure hardships and not be afraid of death, an order, even if he is allowed to die, he will not hesitate, he will not hesitate to cultivate, learn quickly, work quickly, and raise quickly, the only bad thing is that if the master is soft, he is faster than the master's softness, and he doesn't look like a human, but like a dog." Uncle Wang replied flatteringly.
"Let's ......" Uncle Wang rubbed it, his face a little embarrassed.
"Aristocrats, I'm afraid I can't be it, but don't worry, there are fewer overseas people, especially the old Qin people, and there are fewer people who use them, and at the moment Fusang, Xu Fu only occupies a corner, there are many natives entrenched on the island, and they still need to be cleared one by one, as long as you are willing to work hard, after ten years, most of them will be able to go back." Jing didn't sell it, and directly made it clear.
There are many of them who take good care of Jing's group of boys, and Zhao Si also had their secret help when he took the boat and went to sea.
"If you can go back...... If you can go back, it will be a ......," Uncle Wang rubbed his face that was smiling a little stiffly, and said.
"To be honest, when Zhao Si's kid left, I wondered if there was such a day...... I was scared again, and I wondered if I could go home and see ......," Uncle Wang sighed.
"We disobeyed the king's orders, even if we were all killed, it is not too much, the king's divine grace has given us a chance to live...... I'm not afraid of hardship...... It's the ...... of Fusang right now," Wang Ji pondered for a long time.
"Most of them have put down roots here and have children......
Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.
"It's a good thing to have a child, but I'm afraid I can't send it back, and after ten years, you can bring it back together, rest assured, Qin Law stipulates that the son of a subordinate concubine, although a subordinate concubine, will also be raised by the government." Jing opened his mouth to explain to Wang Ji.
The number of subordinate concubines, that is, official slaves, of the Qin State was very large.
There were many official slaves who were directly degraded by the family, and the government would not forcibly break up their relationship, and the Qin law also recognized the marriage between official slaves.
And the children born from the union of official slaves are also official slaves.
Qin Law is a little bit good about all difficulties, for minors, even if they are slaves, they are strictly stipulated to fulfill the obligation to support them.
They had to be raised, and there were official slaves in every county, and the number was recorded.
The annual birth index of official slaves and the survival index of newborns are also one of the assessment standards for local officials.
"So...... That's fine......" Wang Ji was relieved when he heard this.
Jing waved his hand and motioned for Wang Ji to follow, heading towards the port.
At present, all the natives have tied their hands and feet, and there is no longer any resistance, and the twenty sea ships of Daqin have successfully docked at the port, and the soldiers, craftsmen, and Jing's brothers and sisters, the first overseas development force of Daqin have begun to land at the port of Fusang.
"Right now, Xu Fu has given the head, everyone is in ambush, and all the people who were sentenced to disobedience have been killed, and most of the rest are forced to stay here on the sea." Jing patted Lin Baiyu's arm and spoke.
"When my brother took the boat and went to sea, they also secretly helped each other......"
Lin Baiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Overseas is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, don't worry...... If I'm not mistaken, most of the rest of the craftsmen were all kinds of craftsmen, except for the boys and girls? ”
Jing nodded.
Xu Fu was prepared to deceive the First Emperor.
The last time he went to sea, in addition to taking away 3,000 boys and girls, he also took away all kinds of craftsmen, making it clear that he planned to gain a foothold overseas, and basically involved the basic personnel of all walks of life Xu Fu brought them all at once.
"I remember that Uncle Wang is the best at smelting, how, after going to sea for several years, has his craftsmanship ever fallen?" Jing smiled and looked at Wang Ji.
"You can't call it that...... Don't call it that......" Wang Ji waved his hand again and again when he heard this, and then replied with an eager smile on his face.
"Xu Fu disobeyed the king's order and stayed here, the indigenous people here have not yet been civilized, whether it is arable land and construction, they are starting from scratch, where will these crafts fall? Although Xu Fu was privately noble...... But in reality, we still have to do the work. Wang Ji hurriedly replied.
Thanks to the pristine and undeveloped nature of Fuso.
After this group of craftsmen followed Xu Fu to this place, although they were named nobles, the actual high-end construction talents were still this group of craftsmen, and they needed a lot of construction and development, so the craftsmanship did not fall behind.
"Moreover, not only us, but in fact, most of the Qin people who have stayed here have also learned some crafts over the years, and those boys and girls who have stayed here are basically proficient in their crafts...... No way, the natives here can't be trusted...... Some dirty work, tiring and stupid work can be given to them, and it is really difficult for them to learn this. Wang Ji replied.
In fact, not only that, Xu Fu not only gave them aristocratic status, but also taught them to read and write......
Xu Fu did whatever it took to win people's hearts, of course, the most important reason was that this group of old Qin people
is the foundation of his rule, his high-end talent.
It is not impossible for a short man to pick a general among the natives, but the problem is that the average height of this group of natives is one meter four or five, and even if they are tall, they can't pick out one meter eight.
So...... The old Qin people who are stranded here at the moment, to be honest, have really mastered a lot of skills.
Lin Baiyu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"How many people are there in Fuso right now?"
"There are about 100,000 natives who can be controlled, and as for the remaining old Qin people, there are more than 5,000 people, if you count them...... and the natives born of dolls, that should be one or two thousand. Wang Ji had a little hesitation on his face.
"In addition, more than 8,000 hectares of land have been reclaimed." Wang Ji said.
"What about minerals?" Lin Baiyu asked.
"There are salt mines, but in Xu Fu's hands, I don't know how much, in short, we have enough to eat, and there are gold and silver mines, Xu Fu's seat is pure gold, and the reward of gold and silver in private is also very generous, and the output should not be too low."
"In addition, a total of three castles have been built so far...... There are also some house roads. ”
"By the way, there are also good copper and iron mines......"
"It's just that the big furnace is not repaired much, and it can't produce too many swords, so the group of natives haven't used good blades yet, but the copper mines are all the best copper mines." Wang Ji carefully recalled and gave an answer.
"Is there a map?"
"It should be in Xu Fu's palace, and I also have a private map, but it's not very accurate."
"Go find Yutu first, and in addition, gather the sinners!"
Lin Baiyu realized that Xu Fu ...... Things to do. It seems like a lot.
Qin quickly took control of Xu Fu's palace, and all kinds of gold and silver utensils were moved out, of course, these are not the most important, the important thing is the map.
"Copper, iron, salt...... And Mizusawa, according to the water and the fields......"
"Xu Fu has chosen a good place to stand!" Lin Baiyu had a smile of surprise on his face.
Although Fusang is small, it is compared to Daqin.
In fact, the tens of thousands of people Xu Fu brought over could only be entrenched in a very small place.
There is no way, there are too few people, and there are only so many places that can be controlled.
However, the base area selected by Xu Fu has all kinds of mineral deposits, as well as land suitable for cultivation, and has all the conditions for the growth of civilization.
Xu Fu's current foundation is based on copper and iron salt mines, and the gold and silver mines are a surprise.
Lin Baiyu checked several mines for the first time.
The copper mine is really a rich mine, the kind with a very high yield, Lin Baiyu is a disciple of the Yin and Yang family, and has the ability to inspect mineral deposits, and the copper mine won by Xu Fu is the kind of copper mine with a very standard output and high quality.
"I'm afraid that there are not a few mineral deposits, at least they can be used to refine tens of thousands of sword soldiers!" Lin Baiyu gasped.
Although the copper ore used by tens of thousands of sword soldiers is not of great significance to the entire Great Qin, it is of great significance to the development of Fusang.
"Shhh...... This gold and silver mine can't be the gold and silver deposit that Zhao Shilang said, right? ”
After arriving at the gold and silver mine occupied by Xu Fu, Lin Baiyu was shocked again.
Bonanza! Another bonanza!
It is also an extremely easy and abundant deposit.
Obviously, Xu Fu has been mined here for a long time, but there is still a lot of room for mining.
"I'm afraid this gold and silver mine alone...... It's enough for the manpower and material resources consumed on this trip. Lin Baiyu took a deep breath.
"It's not...... Brother said, those two mineral deposits are no longer in this place, probably in this area. Jing pointed at the map.
Zhao Si definitely couldn't remember the specific location, he only vaguely knew where the area was, and as for the rest of the field survey, he had to hand it over to them for actual investigation.
"Moreover, my brother said, the Iwami Silver Mountain and Zuodu Golden Island he said, once mined, the output will be more than the gold and silver reserves of Daqin today." Jing grinned.
"I didn't believe it before......" Lin Baiyu smiled and shook his head.
"Now I'm kind of convinced!"
"This place is really evil...... How come all mineral deposits are rich ores? Lin Baiyu paced around the gold and silver mines occupied by Xu Fu.
Copper, iron, gold and silver mines...... All the mineral deposits seen so far are rich minerals.
Daqin is not short of mines, and some places know that there are mines and cannot open them.
The technology is not mature, and the current Daqin can only achieve shallow development.
First, it is not enough to reach the loss of manpower and material resources, and second, it is too difficult to mine.
In Fuso, a ghost place, mineral deposits are easy to mine.
Either directly on the surface, or in shallow soil, as is the case with the few deposits seen so far.
"Gotta take a good look...... I am afraid that there are many mineral deposits in Fuso, and the neighboring islands must also be carefully investigated. ”
"Thanks to Xu Fu, ......," Lin Baiyu sighed.
"Gather the manpower first, don't be in a hurry to leave first, wait for me to go back and transport a few more people, you can help me keep an eye on the ...... here first" Lin Baiyu made a decision.
According to the original plan, after taking Xu Fu, Lin Baiyu stayed here to go back and forth to Daqin, and Jing drove seven boats to explore the world.
Of course, the plan is used to overthrow, Lin Baiyu thinks that Jing doesn't need to be in a hurry to explore the far sea, Fusang, a ghost place, is a bit rich...... It is only right to hurry back to Daqin and transport more talents.
"yes......"
"Thanks to Xu Fu!"
Jing smiled.
"You come to preside over the pacification and questioning, and I'll go and see the other mineral deposits!" Lin Baiyu threw down the thorn in a hurry.
"By the way, although Xu Fu is already dead......"
"But the king's command must not be violated!"
"Don't forget the car cracks!"
Lin Baiyu's voice came......
Something is wrong with this!
To be honest, Lin Baiyu didn't believe the gold and silver mines that Zhao Si said before, he didn't believe that there were so many gold and silver mines in a remote place.
It's just that the big Kyushu of the Yin and Yang family said that they needed to go to sea, so the Yin and Yang family chose to recognize Zhao Si's statement.
Right now...... Lin Baiyu believed it......
(No...) )
