Qin Gong

Chapter 208 Back to Gaonu, Chai's talent, huh?old man?
It was already the end of February when Bai Yan returned to Gaonu.

As the carriage drove slowly, when the groom reported that he had arrived at Gao Nu, Bai Yan opened the small window beside him and looked outside.

It doesn't look bad, as soon as you look at it, you will be attracted by the scene in the distance.

Looking at the place in the distance that should have been a plain, Bai Yan clearly remembered that when he left, countless people were busy casting houses, and only a few completed them. Now it's only less than a month, and he came back here again When you look around, you can see densely packed houses erected on the plain.

Although you can still see the figures of people casting houses everywhere, compared to the beginning, it can be said that the sky has turned upside down.

At a glance, it is already a new city.

In the carriage, even Master Xu, who was beside Bai Yan, looked at the scene in the distance, his eyes were full of amazement.

It was also the first time she had seen with her own eyes that the power of the people was so powerful that they could turn the plains, which had nothing, into a scene full of vitality in such a short period of time.

After a while.

Accompanied by the carriage slowly passing by on the street, Bai Yan saw that the street had returned to the dense crowd as before. At a glance, it was full of peddlers and merchants.

Seeing this, Bai Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and sighed even more, now that spring plowing is imminent, and he will fight Zhao again in two months, it is unexpected for Gao Nu to return to this state.

It seems that Chai is definitely good at handling this.

thought here.

Bai Yan couldn't help laughing.

Bai Yan couldn't help feeling emotional when he thought that Chai was a capable minister who was delayed by the army.

Talents like Chai are completely in line with Qin's orientation in selecting ministers. The prime minister must start from the state and county, and the general must be sent to the army.

Talents like Chai who are capable of writing and martial arts, if given some more time, Chai may not be able to guard one side like General Teng in 20 years.

Go back to the castle guard mansion.

More than 20 years ago, the Chengshou Mansion was still a simple wooden shed, and Bai Yan worked in the wooden shed. Now the carriage stopped, and when Bai Yan got out of the carriage, he saw the prototype of a mansion appearing in front of him.

At this moment, hundreds of men, big and small, are still building mansions and busy working in the houses.

Bai Yan knew that these people should be slaves from other places.

The city guard's mansion is not private, just like the city walls and official roads, after the damage, the guards or laborers are responsible.

Hard labor, a large part of the people, violated the laws of Qin.

In the end, they were either punished or arrested to do coolies, or they were punished first and then worked as coolies.

Looking at these people, Bai Yan already more or less guessed in his heart that most of these people should be from Yingchuan County.

For these people, Bai Yan has been able to be indifferent. In this world, Bai Yan can't take care of so many things. Bai Yan has seen too many men and women who violated Qin Law or were linked together. Slaves, ministers, or coolies, if wives and daughters sit together, they are concubines, maidservants, maids, and coolies.

Even in Bai Yan's own mansion, some maids became maids because they were forced to sit together.

What Bai Yan can do is to give dignity to those maidservants. Punishment cannot be avoided. There are two sides to everything. Once you avoid punishment, it is not a good thing.

People with a heart in the world say that Qin Law is cruel, but even if the Qin Kingdom perishes in future generations, Qin Law will still exist.

So to be honest, Qin Law is rigorous, but never cruel. The original intention of Qin Law is not to punish criminals today, but in the future more people will commit crimes and harm innocent people. By that time, punishing evil and promoting good will become empty talk.

As for women, although the Qin law is strict, compared with later generations, Qin law is the best law for women, not one of them.

Qin Lv would not say that if a woman is beaten by her husband, she cannot report to the official. Once she reports to the official, the woman will be punished.

On the contrary, Qin officials supported women to report to officials, and also gave women full status.

And it is precisely because of the strictness of the Qin law and the continuous sitting system in it, if there is an assailant harming the people on the street, other people, as long as they see the person, no matter where they are, they will not hesitate to take action to stop the mob.

This is a kind of security for women.

This is the two sides of the matter. If the Qin State did not have a continuous sitting system, the women of the Qin State would definitely not be as safe as they are now.

Therefore, Bai Yan would never use kindness on such things. If he was a little careless, the consequences would be unbearable.

"General!"

"General!!"

Seeing Bai Yan get off the carriage, a famous cavalry officer bowed their hands one after another.

From the corner of their eyes, when they saw the Juebian on Bai Yan's head, all the soldiers were shocked, the general was already Zuo Shuzhang!

And the voices of these iron cavalry officers and soldiers immediately made a laborer who built the mansion look over, and when he saw Bai Yan, all the men's eyes were full of curiosity.

That young man is the Qin general Bai Yan who is loved by the Gaonu people?

Thinking of this, when these hard-working men looked at the young man again, apart from curiosity, there was also a trace of fear from the heart in their eyes.

They are not the people of Gaonu.

They have all seen with their own eyes that the city is filled with endless ashes, and the city is full of ruins.

They have also seen that in the mountains in the distance, besides more than 4000 graves, there are thousands of skulls and bones piled up there, like small hills. After being eaten by crows, the rotting heads of the Xiongnu are particularly hideous and terrifying.

And behind these scenes, there is a name.

Bai Yan!

"What are you looking at, keep working!"

As a cavalry officer opened his mouth, these men came back to their senses one after another, and hurriedly worked seriously.

inside the mansion.

Peck had been supervising the work of the labor men, and when he saw Bai Yan came back, he immediately looked excited, and then took Bai Yan to the brand new temporary study.

"General!"

Seeing Bai Yan coming back, Chai got up quickly.

During this period of time, Bai Yan was not around, and Chai was alone. He was really tired, and he didn't even have a good rest.

At this time, Chai also finally understood why Bai Yan had to hold the bamboo slips in one hand and look at them when he was eating, because if he didn't read, he couldn't be busy at all.

Chai also saw the Juebian on Bai Yan's head, and couldn't help showing a smile.

As a person who, after enlisting in the army, followed Bai Yu through life and death, followed by Bai Yan in bloody battles, it can be said that Chai's loyalty to the Bai family and Bai Yan is no less than anyone else.

For Bai Yan,

In Chai's heart, he was more like a young master.

"You have worked hard during this time!"

Bai Yan looked at Chai's appearance, held back a smile, and said softly.

Chai shook his head.

"General, this is Yuzhong City, a message sent by General Hu Jin!"

Chai thought of something, and said to Bai Yan, then turned around and went to a bookshelf, took out two volumes of bamboo slips and handed them to Bai Yan.

Because he knew that it was General Hu Jin, the county lieutenant, who ordered someone to give it to General Bai Yan, so Chai didn't read the contents.

"Ok?"

Bai Yan was a little puzzled, after receiving the bamboo slips, he opened a roll of bamboo slips first and looked at it.

It wasn't until this time that Bai Yan learned of a piece of 'good news'.

Because of what Prince Yueshi said, Wang Wan, the official censor, ordered someone to deliver the bamboo slips to Li Pingyan, the censor of Shangjun.

Both Feng Quji and Hu Jin already knew that someone wanted to kill Bai Yan, and when they were investigating Shangjun, they also ordered people to go to the Xiongnu to find clues. At this time, they heard the news of Zhao Ji's escape.

Ping Zhou Chengcheng Wei Zhao Ji.

A city lieutenant, why is there a defense map for the border?

Inside the second volume of bamboo slips.

It was written in detail, and along with Hu Jin and Feng Quji's investigation, he soon learned from some gentry and Qin officials in Pingzhou City that several months ago, Zhao Ji went to Gao Nu to meet Lu Lou several times.

And after some people close to Zhao Ji were caught, they also confessed that it was Zhao Ji who got the defense plan from Lu Lou.

And Zhao Ji's favorite concubine also confessed that Zhao Ji said unintentionally when he was drunk that everyone in the Bai family deserved to die.

Put away the bamboo slips.

"General, what's the matter?"

Seeing Bai Yan's frown, Chai asked with some doubts.

"fine!"

Bai Yan shook his head, but didn't tell Chai about the matter.

If Bai Yan didn't know the truth of the matter, based on the testimonies, witnesses, and even evidence in the bamboo slips, Bai Yan would have believed that this was the truth of the matter.

Bai Yan couldn't help sighing, no wonder Mi Qihui got rid of Lu Lou without fear, it turned out that everything had been arranged a long time ago.

Just as everyone thought, Lu Lou's death was the result of Zhao Ji uniting with the Xiongnu to use Lu Lou's trust to murder Lu Lou's family.

Although no one knows why Zhao Ji wanted to get rid of Lu Lou, the fact that Zhao Ji cooperated with the Xiongnu to get rid of Bai Yan and vent his personal anger is already a certainty, and the mastermind of all this is Zhao Ji.

"By the way, General, during this period of time, there was an old man who came to you many times in a row, saying that he was an old acquaintance of yours."

Chai suddenly remembered that there was an old man who came to the mansion every now and then, asking the general if he had returned to Gao Nu, and said that he was an old acquaintance of the general.

"Old man?"

Bai Yan frowned, and looked at Chai full of doubts.

In Qin State, apart from General Kai Teng, General Yu and others, he didn't seem to know any old people, or old acquaintances?

"Is he there?"

　The relationship between Bai Yan and Chai is compared to Xiang Yu and Xiang Jiajun.
