Chapter 307 307: You figured it out [Two in One]
Outside Fugu City.
A donkey cart moved forward slowly.
The frail-looking young scribe sits casually.
One leg is bent and flat, the other is bent, and the knees are used as a temporary desk. The right hand is holding a pen to fill in the numbers on the simple form, sometimes doing mental arithmetic, sometimes counting with fingers, and holding the data when the data is not sure. Take out the abacus and fiddle with it twice.
Dozens of volumes of measured farmland data were placed beside the young scribe. The rules, standards, ropes, rules and other objects were all stored in a large bamboo basket. Ten young men in coarse linen clothes followed him silently. Donkey carts left and right.
“What’s so noisy?”
The young scribe is concentrating on proofreading the measurement data.
A few faint cries penetrated the eardrums.
The tune has twists and turns, which makes people feel upset.
In the past few days, he had been up early and late every day, climbing mountains and wading in rivers, and visited almost the entire Fugu City area. In order to obtain more accurate measurement data from the fields of various shapes, he worked hard. After the measurement, he had to organize, summarize and file it... He was so busy that he slept with his pillow on it every day.
Today was not going well, and he was feeling annoyed.
After checking the data twice, there is still an error of six points.
It was hard to figure it out, but I was disturbed by the noise again.
The young scribe felt a little angry.
The entourage who followed the young scribe out for measurement went out to inquire, and soon came back to reply: "It seems to be Mr. Kang."
The young scribe put down the letter and form: "Kang Jishou?"
He is not in the city, why? Run outside the city?
Could it be that the job at hand is done?
The young man made a rough estimate of Kang Shi's workload and efficiency, calculated the approximate time, and came to the conclusion - No, even with all his heads and six arms, he couldn't finish it in such a short time. The young scribe let the donkey cart stop on the road for a while, and soon he saw Kang Shi and his party coming from the other way. The latter was riding a horse, with more than two hundred people of all sizes, old and young, pressing behind him.
At the same time, Kang Shi also noticed him.
Horse a horse and trot forward in a few steps.
He said hello: "Look at the tide."
The young scholar, Gu Chi, crossed his hands in greeting and said: "Ji Shou, where did your battle... come from? Come?”
They are just a group of ordinary people.
As soon as they approached, two or three hundred people's thoughts rushed into his mind, and Gu Chi leaned back slightly in discomfort.
Kang Shi said: "According to the Lord's order, take people."
In just two sentences, Gu Chi roughly got the general information from the voices of these common people - Kang Shi took The recruitment clerk from the government office went to deceive Zhujia Village and put people in the village, old and young, into the same pot. Now these common people are cursing the new Heyin County Sheriff in their hearts, using all kinds of vicious sentences and words.
Gu Chi ignored these useless noises.
He was curious about what had happened in this village that deserved his lord's anger, and asked Kang Shi to take care of the people himself - was it too much to ask Wenxin scribes to do this job? Already? You know, Kang Shi hasn't finished his work yet.
Gu Chi guessed: "Are they harboring fugitives?"
Or is a whole village going to rebel?
Kang Shi said: "No, this matter is difficult to explain in one sentence."
Gu Chi: "Let's talk while walking?"
We are traveling together anyway, so it's just a good time to pass the time.
Kang Shi did not refuse. He lowered his head and motioned to Yu Zi, who was following him, to sit on Gu Chi's donkey cart.
Yu Zi glanced at the wooden cart pulled by the donkey, and then at the strange young scribe in the cart, feeling somewhat hesitant to approach him.
But this is what Kang Shi meant.
Yu Zi did not hesitate for a long time.
After saluting Gu Chi, she climbed up - fortunately she was born thin and did not take up much space, otherwise it would be really difficult to sit on this wooden cart with almost nowhere to stand - sitting upright, with an expression on her face A bit nervous, stiff and resistant to strangers.
Gu Chi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked Kang Shi who this was. Kang Shi simply told how he and Shen Tang met Yu Zi, and learned about the absurd things common in Zhujia Village from Yu Zi. Gu Chi was not surprised by this.
Don’t forget, he is a good reader of people’s hearts.
Gu Chi raised the corners of his lips, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "Does Ji Shou know something? When a cockroach comes to your feet to show off its power, the cockroach has secretly passed down the family line for more than eighteen generations. , and also built an ancestral hall for the ancestors of cockroaches. "
Cockroaches are commonly known as cockroaches.
This theory sounds novel.
Kang Shi licked these words several times, and the more he thought about them, the more he felt that they were rough and unreasonable, so he asked: "Where is this common saying? It sounds playful and interesting. But isn't that the truth? These people are 'cockroaches' , children and grandchildren, endless reproduction..."
The whole village is accustomed to this.
It’s best to rely on ice people to talk about marriage. It doesn’t matter if you can’t talk about it. It’s convenient, quick and less troublesome to find someone you know well to “look at” you. Even if you beat or kick her, you don't have to worry about your mother-in-law's brothers coming to stand up for your mother-in-law.
What you buy is your own property.
As long as the inheritance of the family line is not delayed, it doesn't matter even if you are beaten half to death or driven crazy and stupid - as long as a woman's belly can give birth, a woman who is beaten half to death will still have half a life, right? People are crazy and stupid, but the babies born are neither crazy nor stupid, right?
Of course, it would be better if you have hands and feet to help you work, respect your parents, and take care of yourself comfortably...
Gu Chi said: "Oh, my lord said so."
Kang Shi: "..."
Gu Chi talked about the previous chat between Shen Tang and him - Gu Chi thought that Shen Tang would let Lin Feng follow Chu Yao to settle down the common people, and took the opportunity to give Lin Feng more experience, but Shen Tang kept Lin Feng by his side. , try to avoid Lin Feng’s private contact with the common people.
The reason Shen Tang gave is - not all common people are human beings, some are just beasts wearing human skin! These "beasts" have no moral restraint and weak rationality. The more ignorant you are, the more your behavior tends to be like a beast...
It was also after that conversation that Gu Chi began to consciously pay attention to the voices of many common people. Although some were simple, kind, and warm-hearted, there were also ignorant, greedy, evil, and those who were worse than animals...
Measuring land and dealing with these common people during this time really made him see what it means to do one thing to the face and another behind the scenes, to say one thing on the surface but another in the back of his mind.
Weak appearance does not mean harmless.
The illusion of poverty does not mean simplicity.
When Kang Shi heard this, his brows stretched.
Well, she is indeed the lord he likes.
Gu Chi: "..."
To tell the truth——
He always believed that the threat and lethality Gongxi Qiu brought to Shen Tang was not as great as that of Kang Shi The way of the scribes brings greatness. Since the time of health has come, the Lord has begun to suffer unlucky visible to the naked eye.
Meeting these terrible literati——
Life is not hard and I can't bear it.
Gu Chi skipped this topic and asked: "Zhujia Village is so rampant, it can be seen that the situation in nearby villages is also indispensable. Do we need to check door to door? The people in Fugu City say that there are more, but there are less. Quite a few. Once the news gets out, most of the women who were bought will be hidden. It can't be hidden..."
Gu Chi swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.
Those who cannot be hidden will most likely be killed.
If these women will bring disaster to the family, the best solution is either to sell them to a swindler, hide them, or kill them. After all, the child has been born, and the difference between a woman alive and dead is just a few more children or a few less.
It's cruel, but it's reality.
Yu Zi listened quietly to the two gentlemen chatting.
Hearing this, my heart clenched suddenly.
She didn't expect this at all.
This will...
To alert the snake?
Gu Chi added: "To capture the thief, capture the king first, first arrest the traitor, and then get the news from them. However, it is recommended to impose the death penalty on the traitor, and to buy the traitor from the traitor. , postpone the punishment until those women are rescued.”
Yu. Zi An secretly tightened the fabric of her clothes. Kang Shi did not ignore the flash of reluctance on Yu Zi's face, and said softly: "It is true that we can't alert the snake, but everything can be changed. Who said that only 'selling a little' can be a crime? Punish them for their crimes?”
Zheng Qiao led the Geng Kingdom to capture the Xin Kingdom.
Not thinking about governance leaves a mess behind. These messes are loopholes that can be exploited. With Kang Shi's ability, you can swim in these loopholes to your heart's content!
One of them is the conflict between the laws of the two countries.
The details of the charges are different and the sentencing standards are different.
For example, in the Xin State, a marriage only requires the consent of both parents, a banquet, and notification of relatives on both sides to be considered husband and wife, while in the Geng State, it is necessary to register with the government. If it is not registered, the relationship between the couple will not count and will be considered "adultery".
For adultery, one is more ruthless than the other.
Men and women were flogged, paraded in the streets, fined, pounded rice, or thrown to build bridges, roads, and city walls...
This rule of the Geng Kingdom is also related to their land tax system, which prevents the common people of the Geng Kingdom from borrowing money. This channel pays less land tax.
"If they are sentenced to [adultery] according to the laws of the Geng Kingdom and deny the relationship between the two as husband and wife..." Kang Shi said with a cold smile on his lips, "...I remember that the Xin Kingdom also had a , about the detailed measurement of male adulterers..."
Fornicators can be whipped thirty times and tortured.
Then there is also a detailed rule that if a woman becomes pregnant, she will be punished with a hefty crime; if she gives birth to a female heir, she will be punished with thirty more floggings and then beheaded; if she gives birth to a male heir, she will be punished with fifty more floggings and then castration... The more, the heavier the punishment - the end point is five sentences.
The corners of Gu Chi's mouth twitched slightly.
Good guy!
This loophole was finally figured out by Kang Shiwan.
To put it simply, the relationship between Geng Kingdom was used to deny their relationship as husband and wife and the crime of adultery was convicted; on this basis, the laws of Xin Kingdom were used to sentence adultery (harmony) and adultery, and then the sentence was based on the number of children born. Who can stand it?
As for that, maybe they have also registered?
This is impossible.
Kang Shi is currently doing household registration.
With registration, he can also make the other party not register.
As for whether there will be any problems with this operation?
Those who He Yin can stumbling over have already drank Meng Po soup and are waiting to be reincarnated into the beast realm. Zheng Qiao is also far away from the country and cannot be controlled. Finally, and most importantly, will the news spread and cause any reaction among the people? Will it alert the enemy?
Most likely it's impossible.
Because the crimes are all in line with the law.
The common people will only be afraid and rush to re-register. They will never think that Shen Tang is going to renovate and sell it. Kang Shi can also take this opportunity to collect detailed household registration information, which will also facilitate subsequent population censuses, arrests, and rescues.
Emmm......
Gu Chi smiled and cupped his hands and complimented: "Ji Shou, that's wonderful."
Kangshi returned the gift: "Look at the tide and praise me."
One is riding a horse and the other is riding a donkey cart.
The two smiled sincerely and openly.
If uninformed outsiders read it, they would probably sigh with emotion that this is how gentlemen make friends.
Well, Yu Zi thinks so too.
She didn't know what they were talking about.
You can understand one or two sentences out of ten.
But judging from their appearance, it should be a good thing.
Yu Zi couldn't help but admire the two of them.
Especially Kang Shi, Mr. Kang.
The heroic figure of Kang Shi capturing dozens of households in Zhujia Village by himself could not help but come to mind, and he became more and more fascinated by the literary spirit and literary heart.
She believed that this was A Niang’s secret guidance.
That must be the case.
That’s why she walked there that day, recognized the Zhang family accessories on Shen Jun’s waist, and accidentally met them. She used this as a breakthrough to let the truth come to light and let Ah Mother was able to clear up the situation, which also gave her a way to survive.
Yu Zi’s inner voice fell into Gu Chi’s ears.
He looked at the girl with a half-smile out of the corner of his eye.
Looking at Kang Shi, he asked: [How talented is this girl? 】
Kang Shi still doesn’t know.
But with Yu Zi’s understanding and the intelligence inherited from his mother, it is probably not much lower -
[Cultivation can be used. 】
Gu Chi was a little surprised when he heard this.
The wheels of the donkey cart rolled forward slowly.
Not long after, we entered Fugu City.
All the people in Zhujiacun were imprisoned.
The place is not big, but it is no problem to squeeze in for one night.
When Shen Tang learned the news, it was already dark.
The second day.
The sky is still bright.
There is already a noise in Fugu City.
The reconstruction work in the Southwest Corner is underway with great vigor. Through publicity by the policemen who go around the streets and beat gongs and drums, more and more people know that the Southwest Corner is recruiting workers. Taking care of two meals a day can provide at least 80% of the food, and you will be paid for every day's work.
At first some people didn't believe it.
How is such a good thing possible?
No matter how good the county guard is, he will never be taken advantage of.
But there are also common people who trust Shen Tang - just because Shen Tang pulled out the cancer in Fugu City the next day, they worked for Shen Tang for free and it was not a loss, so they regarded it as repaying their kindness - as The first batch of common people who applied for the job were also the first to enjoy the benefits, and they were passed on to the next ten, and then passed on to hundreds.
The southwest corner of Fugu City is gradually coming to life.
However, today's focus is not here.
Dong dong dong dong——
The people near the government office heard the long-lost drum sound. At first they thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when they listened carefully they found that it was not. There was really someone there. Beat the drum. Even more interested people came over to watch the fun, and saw a thin figure clenching his teeth and beating the drum that was almost a decoration with all his strength.
Some people also recognized the man playing the drum.
“Isn’t that the beggar from the ruined temple outside the city?”
Although Yu Zi had already cleaned up at this time, some people who were familiar with her recognized her identity, and the crowd murmured for a while. Naturally, Yu Zi also heard those tiny sounds, but she didn't care about them now. She tried her best, as if she wanted to vent out all the grievances she had suffered for so many years with the sound of drums!
Finally, she succeeded.
Yu Zi knelt on the ground, holding the paper in both hands, shouting at the top of her lungs, using all the strength of her chest and lungs, and sobbing every word: "Little citizen Yu Zi, a native of Zhujia Village, now wants to sue his biological mother-in-law, Aweng. !”
As soon as this statement came out, the people watching were in an uproar.
This, this, this, this——
In one simple sentence, the amount of information is overwhelming!
What makes them even more unbelievable is that Yu Zi actually came here to kill two blood relatives, and he did not hesitate to receive ten sticks for it!
Suing against blood relatives requires twenty sticks.
I thought Yu Zi was young and had not yet reached the hairpin, so I cut it in half.
Shen Tang asked: "In this case, you still want to sue?"
Yu Zi resolutely said: "Yes!"
