The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 141

The cause of this fight is not complicated.

After these people entered the valley, their rations were rationed, that is to say, they were distributed free of charge according to the head.

Generally speaking, the daily ration for children under the age of ten is half a catty, which is eight taels at this time.People over the age of ten are given one catty of ration per person per day.

These rations are distributed by the Civil Affairs Department every five days.Each time, two adjacent villages distribute together, and the treasurer of the Department of Civil Affairs leads people to distribute, and each village organizes people to come to collect food.

After arriving, the treasurer will check the population booklet of the village and distribute it according to the head of the village.

Today happened to be that this village composed of naturalized Mongols and another village received grain at the same time.

These naturalized Mongols came to the valley after Jiangchuan defeated the Qing army, and this was the first time they received food, so after seeing the food they received, they felt that it was not enough for them to eat, so they started complaining, cursing, and Some people even began to grab food from another village.

The people from the other village were all young and young, so of course they wouldn't suffer, so the two sides soon started scolding each other if they disagreed.At the beginning, the two sides still had some regard for the law, but soon after someone did something, the conflict between the two sides quickly escalated, from scolding to scuffling, and finally to the point of using a weapon.

Both sides were full-blooded men, and the fight couldn't be stopped, so they all ran back to their respective villages to call for help. As a result, the scale of the conflict became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a fight between two villages.

By the time Liu Ji heard the news and led people to arrive, the weapon fighting had already caused more than 70 deaths and more than 200 injuries, instead of dozens of casualties as Jiang Chuan thought.

"My lord, that's how things are." After Liu Ji finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chuan solemnly.

The occurrence of such a serious incident of fighting with weapons caused so many casualties, and the consequences were already quite serious. Liu Ji thought that Jiang Chuan would be furious, so he was already mentally prepared.

At the beginning, Jiang Chuan's face was gloomy, but his face became calmer and calmer, and finally he laughed, Liu Ji was a little puzzled.

"My lord, you..."

"Military division, this matter seems serious, but it is actually very simple in the final analysis. Since we have promulgated the decree first, we should deal with it according to law. Since it will happen sooner or later, it is a good thing for us to happen earlier. So, you can deal with it as you like, and just let me know later." Jiang Chuan patted Liu Ji on the shoulder and laughed.

Looking at Jiang Chuan's smile, Liu Ji was silent for a moment, with a resolute look on his face, bowed to Jiang Chuan and said solemnly: "My lord, Liu Ji understands, and I will definitely not disappoint my lord."

Jiang Chuan nodded and said: "Military division, as long as you think it's right, you can do it boldly and don't have any worries. Since we have the law first, we will do everything according to the law. If there are special circumstances, we will discuss it later. It’s determined. Some things cannot be done without killing a few people. Since we have embarked on this road, the last thing we fear is dead people.”

Liu Ji nodded solemnly and said, "Master, I know what to do."

Jiang Chuan smiled and left with his personal guards.

He probably knew what kind of decision Liu Ji would make, and he hoped that Liu Ji would be more ruthless.If Liu Ji wasn't ruthless enough, I would add another fire to him.

This incident, as he himself said, looked like a mess, but it was actually a good opportunity to rectify the interior, for the Secretary of Civil Affairs, and for Liu Jili, and to confirm the supremacy of the law.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the processing documents that Liu Ji handed over were placed on Jiang Chuan's desk.

The solution is very simple and cruel: all seven hundred and two people who participated in this fight will be beheaded.According to the decree, all 1000 and 32 people from the two villages were seated together. All males over the age of 15 were sent to Houshan to serve hard labor for a period of one year. The daily rations of the population under the age of 15 will be reduced by [-]% for a period of one year.Those who do not want to serve hard labor will be expelled from the valley.Moreover, all the villages of the naturalized Mongols who provoked the fighting were doubled in punishment.

Seeing this handling opinion, even Jiang Chuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect Liu Ji, a scholar, to be so ruthless, which was even more ruthless than he thought in his heart.

Originally, he thought that he would just behead all those who participated in the fighting and caused casualties, and the others who did not cause fatalities would be punished with hard labor. He did not expect Liu Ji to be more generous, to deal with them more decisively, and to have a wider range of confinement.

When Jiang Chuan saw this handling opinion, he knew that Liu Ji must have gone through the torment and hesitation in his heart. After all, it was more than 700 lives, but he made such a decision most importantly, obviously not just for himself. Look, but he really realized how bad the impact this time would be if he didn't deal with it decisively or ruthlessly.

It can be said that not only Jiang Chuan himself is waiting to see how Liu Ji will deal with it, but more than 2 people are also waiting to see how the Department of Civil Affairs will deal with it.

The last time Jiang Chuan set up a tree in Liaoyang City as a letter, in exchange for the trust of the people.This time, it is necessary to hold high the blade of law to make the people fearful.

To govern the world, it is not only important to make the people feel good, but it is also important to make the people fearful.This prestige is not the prestige of Jiangchuan, nor the prestige of Liu Ji, but the prestige of laws and regulations.

Make it clear to everyone that anything is allowed within the limits of the law.If you dare to break the law, you must pay a heavy price.

Looking at the manuscript in front of him, Jiang Chuan felt that every word was as heavy as a knife, and he didn't pick up the pen beside him for a long time.He knew that after his stroke, more than 700 people would be killed.

Although he no longer has the psychological burden of killing people, and he also knows that these people deserve what they deserve, but he still can't make up his mind.

The tens of thousands of people who were killed before were all Tartars, his enemies.But what is going to be killed now is the people under his rule. The two concepts are different.

No matter how many battles he has experienced, no matter how hard-hearted he has become, there is still some reverence for life in a modern soul born in a peaceful age in his heart.

This made his heart extremely heavy at this moment, and he slowly closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Chuan finally opened his eyes, his eyes were already clear, and the color of determination was extremely clear.He picked up the goose quill pen in his hand, and wrote a big "Quasi!" on the manuscript in front of him very solemnly.

　The second one arrives.There is one more before midnight.
