Chapter 160: The world is shaken, and people's hearts are easier
Amnesty was undoubtedly the first time for the Qin Dynasty.
For the first time, most of them didn't have that much experience, so there was no ritual and no formalism.
After the decision of the princes of the court, the Xianyang government sent a large number of officials to urgently copy the edict of amnesty issued by the first emperor for transmission to all counties in the world.
Fortunately!
Zhao Si invented paper!
Nowadays, the production of paper has gradually entered the right track, and it has been incorporated into the production organization as a young government, although it is difficult to popularize the use of the world's scholars because of the productivity, but the internal use of the government is sufficient.
Nowadays, the official documents of the government have begun to be archived on paper, and the office staff of the government are also familiar with the paper official document office.
The first emperor issued an edict, and the officials in the customs can be said to have stayed up all night.
The next day, with Xianyang Castle as the center, the counties and counties in the Kannai began to post official notices one after another.
And a large number of post guards also took the temporary copy of the pardon book and embarked on the road of spreading the word to the counties and counties of the world.
Xianyang, as the first good place, posted the fastest notices, and at the same time, Xianyang, as a political center, also gathered the largest number of readers in the world.
Not to mention the surrounding notices, there are also officials who keep reciting them to tell the people.
Countless people gathered around the notice, and some people followed the notice word by word.
"In the eleventh year, the eldest son Fusu was appointed as the crown prince, and the eldest grandson Si was the grandson, and the world was amnesty.
Since the first month of the forty-second year, except for the eight major evils that are not forgiven, the crime of murder has been reduced by one degree, and the rest have not been realized, have not been corrected, and the crime is not serious, and they will be pardoned and eliminated, and the thieves from all directions will be disbanded, and they will not be blamed for the past.
Whoever dares to forgive the past will be guilty of his sins. All matters of convenience are set out below"
"What does that mean?"
Some people probe their brains, and some people ask questions......
"Your Majesty is the prince, celebrate with the sky, and amnesty the world!" Someone was on the sidelines to explain.
"What is Amnesty?"
"Even those who committed crimes before the first month of this year can all be forgiven, and the previous crimes are not to be blamed!"
The voice fell......
It was like a thunderclap, and it exploded through the crowd.
After that, the gossip of discussion and inquiry, all of them copied this Confucian who was enthusiastic about explaining on the side.
Amnesty to the world! Forgive somebody's past misdeeds!
The mood was uplifting and incredible.
Not only were the onlookers unbelievable, but even the Confucian students themselves had a magical feeling.
Who is the King of Qin?
The king of tigers and wolves, the state of Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, Qin's laws are famous for their strictness, and they have never heard that the state of Qin will turn people into slaves, but they have never heard that the state of Qin is so kind, and Qin Shi Huang is so kind.
However, the current hustle and bustle and endless inquiries made this Confucian scholar unable to care about these things, and once he was in the limelight, it was difficult for him to escape the inquiries of the people around him, so he could only act as a volunteer science popularizer.
As for the officials in charge of science popularization, there are not too many people around them, and even if there are, most of them are scholars, not people.
Most of the Shu people still have a natural awe of officials, especially those with the blessing of Qin Law.
"In that case, wouldn't all sins be forgiven?"
"No, no, not all sins can be forgiven, there are eight deadly evils that cannot be forgiven...... The crime of homicide can only be reduced and cannot be directly pardoned. Confucian explained aloud to the people around him what the Eight Deadly Sins were.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
After hearing this, everyone around them agreed that these eight deadly sins were unacceptable crimes, and they would only applaud the non-pardon of such crimes.
"In that case, wouldn't my husband, who was a city dan in Xianyang City, also be pardoned?"
"Absolutely! Of course! ”
"What about the bandits?"
"The notice said that whether it is a group of thieves or an individual, as long as it is disbanded immediately, and filed with the government, and the inspection pass is retrieved, you can not be blamed in the past, but if you hear the pardon decree and do not disband, you will use the army to clean up and collect it later......"
"What about the prisoners? There are 100,000 prisoners in Lishan! ”
"If the service continues to serve, if the punishment is punished, they can be pardoned!"
"Well, that's more than 100,000 people!"
"Also, I heard that there is still a hidden palace, so there must be tens of thousands of people, right?"
"Who knows?"
"Great, my parents can finally go home!"
The sound of hustle and bustle spread through the streets and alleys of Xianyang City.
People gathered in the streets to laugh and discuss, and some even had tears of excitement in their eyes.
If it were other dynasties, the amnesty of the world might have pardoned tens of thousands of people at a time, but this was the Qin Dynasty......
There were too many laws in the Qin Dynasty...... Most Qin people, even those in Guanzhong, can't say that they haven't violated the law once in their lives.
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were meant to be broken......
Where is the reason why you don't break the law and get a fine?
You must know that the benefits of the Qin Dynasty's military merit system are real, which is a huge expenditure of the government......
Besides, if you don't push people into a desperate situation, where do people have the determination to climb out without fear of life and death and rely on military merits?
The promotion requirements of the military merit lord are already very perverted.
This is normal, there are too many people who have been knighted, and the government really can't afford to spend this financial resources.
Therefore, in essence, the military merit is actually a game of the nobility, but the rights of the nobility in this game are weakened.
So, even if it's Xianyang...... There is no shortage of people who are burdened with guilt.
Usually it is some minor crime, or it is punished as a chengdan, or as a subordinate, or as a prisoner.
It is a labor-based punishment......
But in ancient families, one can imagine what it meant to be a strong laborer.
The strictness of the law and the abundance of regulations mean that there are many sinfuls.
Even if it's Xianyang, even if it's Guanzhong!
For the common people, amnesty not only means that the emperor's grace is immense, but also means that the shackles imposed on them in the past have been loosened.
This is truly groundbreaking......
Not to mention that it is closely related to everyone, so the news quickly spread all over the streets.
The government also released Cheng Dan who had been fined for hard work as soon as possible...... Most of the people in prison were released.
When this group of people showed up to speak, it ushered in a real boil.
Daqin has never lacked bandits......
After the Shang Dynasty reformed the law, there were descriptions of bandits almost every year.
To put it bluntly, he was forced to live, but he didn't want to go to the battlefield to work hard, so he hid in the mountains and old forests and became a group of black households.
The current situation of Qin Law means that this group of people will continue to emerge and will never be wiped out.
If you commit a big crime and go to the battlefield to die nine times for your life, it is definitely better to run to the mountains and hide on the spot.
Therefore, the crime of group robbery has always been a serious crime in the Qin Dynasty, just to prevent such a thing from happening with strict laws, but it still cannot be banned.
In addition, there are a lot of bandits in some deep mountains and old forests, and it is not easy for officers and soldiers to search and suppress them, and in a sense, they have already formed the rudiments of gathering places, and at the same time, some people still have their families outside and have external contacts, so it is impossible to completely clean them up.
The news in the mountains is closed, but the news of amnesty is still in the ears of some bandits.
"Amnesty?"
"What's wrong, he, King Qin, has changed sex? The king of tigers and wolves does not eat meat and eats grass instead? Do you believe this? ”
Yingbu sat straddling the rocks and looked at the minions under his command, who were no different from refugees, and spat at the mouth.
"According to me, this is the news that the government deliberately released so as to trick us into going down the mountain......" Yingbu sat on the stone and gushed,
is different from the interpretation of the script, what big bowl of meat and big gulp of wine with a scale to divide the gold are all fake.
They can't do it because the Qin State does not allow such a strong bandit to appear.
Like most bandits, they hid deep in the mountains and forests.
Don't think about robbing the house, don't dare at all, don't have that strength.
The weapons are also handmade......
Their main source of food for hiding in the mountains is fishing and hunting.
Yingbu was originally from a noble family, but unfortunately unfortunately violated the Qin law and became one of the prisoners in Lishan.
The Lishan convicts gathered criminals from all over the world, all over the world, all of them were talents, Yingbu was widely acquainted with talents when he served in Lishan, and later took the opportunity to take people to escape.
When he fled, he brought out more than 100 people......
Today, there are only a dozen brothers left.
No way, the environment in the mountains is so bad...... It's a little better than being a prisoner in Lishan, but it's really limited.
In the deep mountains, their lives are no different from those of barbarians, or even worse than barbarians......
Fishing and hunting for a living, dare not go out of the mountains......
Because of limited resources, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is occasional contact, but there are not many, and there are even fewer women, and Yingbu himself has not touched a woman for several years.
The most important thing is that most of them are not locals yet, and there are no external information channels, so they can only hide deeper and more remote......
It's hard to get a little gain, and you have to use the hard-won harvest in exchange for expensive necessary materials.
The mountain range is extraordinarily vast, and there are about a thousand bandits scattered in it...... It's like a drop in the ocean.
Recently, there has been a rumor from the group of bandits.
The first emperor granted amnesty to the world, and he was not to blame for the past......
Yingbu doesn't believe it...... He couldn't believe it.
In the same way, his brothers did not believe it.
But those who flee into the deep mountains and old forests have a little courage, and they are also the ones who commit great crimes.
Yingbu's guilt, if it is to be investigated, will be punished.
His brothers are almost the same.
Because of their distrust of Qin and even Qin Shi Huang, Yingbu and others did not have reliable news channels, so they chose to wait and see......
However, as time passed, the agreed time for barter, Yingbu was surprised to find that there were fewer people......
Yingbu was keenly aware that most of the people who had disappeared from the mountains were locals.
"No, it won't!"
Yingbu kicked on the trunk of the tree, looked up at the starry night, cursed a few words, and fell into deep thought.
"Is it really amnesty?"
Thinking about it, this is the only possibility.
He didn't dare to go out and investigate, so he had to guess alone.
Speculation, spreading deep in the mountains......
The number of bandits in the mountains and forests began to decrease......
Or that sentence, if there is a choice, who wants to be a bandit?
If it is okay to go out of Guanzhong, the ruling power of the government has declined, coupled with the collusion between inside and outside, it is indeed possible to eat meat and drink a lot.
But Kannai is a complete hell......
Collusion? Where to go in collusion?
There is no future as a bandit in Guannai, and Yingbu suffered a big loss because he speculated in Guanzhong from a local perspective, so that he suffered a long life.
"If only it were a universal amnesty...... It's better to go out, if you really want to make a career, it can't be in Guanzhong. Yingbu thought to himself.
The Kannai development plan was a failure......
He naively thought that the security inside and outside the gate was like a bird, so he hid in the mountains according to his own experience after entangling people.
"Damn, stay in this mountain, you won't live for a few years, get out! Even if it's a scam, Naigong admits it! Inbus thought about it and finally made a decision.
In the winter of this year, several of his few brothers froze to death, and if this continues, he Yingbu will die sooner or later in the deep mountains and old forests.
No matter how much ambition you have, it's just empty talk.
So after deliberation, Yingbu took the lead in deciding to go out of the mountain and surrender.
Everyone was like refugees, and there was nothing to tidy up, so they went out together......
When I got to the foot of the mountain, I saw several officials talking with smiles on their faces beside the trees.
"Damn! I've been waiting here for a long time! ”
It is impossible to search the mountains, and the manpower of the small mountains can still be searched, such as the deep mountains and old forests where Yingbu and others gathered, and the mountains of hundreds of miles are connected in series, even if the 100,000 troops enter and cannot be searched.
However, after the government received the first few people who surrendered from the mountains and forests, it simply made a decision and sent people to wait at the few exits where they could enter and exit cheaply......
It is better to register them as soon as possible, and to identify their crimes that do not fall within the scope of amnesty.
And the other side......
All parts of the world are also affected by its wind.
Within the vast Osawa ......
Heng Chu, who is famous in Chudi, also fell into a broken defense when he saw the increasing dispersion of his subordinates.
Chu rebelled, and Heng Chu Xiao gathered up, but unfortunately he was pressed by Zhao Tuo in Daze and did not dare to go out.
The most important thing is that the Xiang family, who was good friends with him, is gone, and he doesn't have much help from external forces.
The two leading parties of the Xiang family and the Yu family allowed the nobles of Chu to find a new direction, and the snakes and rats at both ends, Heng Chu did not get much help because of this, even if he had outstanding ability, he could not go out of Daze.
After Ren Huan retreated, Zhao Tuo officially ascended the throne, rebellions in various parts of the world were put down one after another, Zhao Tuo began to exert force, and Chudi became a grasshopper after the autumn.
It couldn't last a few days, but as soon as the decree of amnesty came out, the people had the heart to stop the war.
Some of them are because of demagoguery, some because of coercion, but when they see the truth, they have become members of the party and cannot get out.
And now, there is an opportunity in front of them to let them jump ship safely, and those who don't jump are fools.
"General...... What do we do now? ”
Someone asked Heng Chu how to deal with it, and the words hinted at whether to forcibly control public opinion and kill those who fled without permission.
Heng Chu thought about it, was silent for a long time, and waved his hand.
"After all, it's the old folks......
