The incident of plagiarism in Fuzhou lasted for two days, and more than a thousand thieves were arrested.

The next day, King Xu Zixian of Qin sent more than 500 troops to Fuzhou City to listen to Xu Xingwei's dispatch, and the troops suppressed the bandits and began to operate outside the city.

For several consecutive days, cavalry traveled back and forth in various villages and towns and the Min River. The sound of horse hooves of iron cavalry often shattered people's dreams, causing countless people to wake up from their sleep.

On December 25, the day of the Kitchen God Festival had passed. On this day, Xu Xingwei decided to remove the more than 2,000 thieves he captured, and then detained them after being beaten. He was probably sentenced to about three years of hard labor. Those under fourteen years of age were beaten and handed over to the clan to take them back and take them back for strict supervision. If they committed another crime, they would be dealt with with the adult thieves.

Hundreds of other people were forced to follow the thief, climbed over the wall into the house, or beat and hurt others. Even so, they were sentenced to at least five years of hard labor after being punished.

There were more than a thousand of these people, either released or imprisoned, or directly escorted to the Dongfan Iron Mine for work.

When the thieves were pacified, ships were also coming down from Jianzhou upstream, and a large number of captured wing troops and prisoners began to be escorted, with more than 10,000 people.

The endless team of prisoners also attracted the attention and attention of the people in the city. Many prisoners had their families. They rushed over along the way and couldn't help but burst into tears. They rushed over to send cold clothes, daily necessities, and food. However, after catching up, many people were much more relieved... The food given to these prisoners by the Qin Palace was much stronger than what they ate on a daily basis. Of course, they would not eat as good as the ones in the palace, but at least they were dry and sparse, and they could eat enough every day.

These prisoners, whether the people of Jianzhou or the captured Xiang army, were all sentenced to surrendering to the enemy in advance. King Xu Zixian of Qin sentenced them to three years of hard labor and ten years of exile.

If his family is willing, they can apply to go to the Dongfan after two years. The Military Office will grant the qualification to open up acres of wasteland, and will be appointed as the Dongfan Lijia, becoming part of the Dongfan immigrants.

At this point, the gentry and people in Fuzhou understood in their hearts that although after His Highness the King of Qin opened his palace, the entire Fujian and other places were as fiefs, His Highness the King of Qin obviously could not give up on the current development of the East Vanguard.

Many people don’t know that the development of Dongfan has reached a time when it is about to harvest. Cotton cloth, tea, sugarcane sugar pressing, iron mines, iron farms, raw silk, fur, and various ways of making profits will burst out in the next one or two years, making a profit of tens of millions, no less than the income from Fujian Road taxes. How could Xu Zixian give up?

Let’s not talk about interests. A large island like Dongfan guards the places along Fujian and controls many important waterways. How could he take it lightly as Xu Zi’s identity as a descendant?

For several consecutive days, a large number of prisoners were escorted to the Dongfan. Li Yi, Kong He, Fu Qian, Qin Dongyang and other senior executives were responsible for the overall coordination and dispatch. Many lucky ships came from the Dongfan and escorted the prisoners to the Dongfan.

On the 25th, Xu Zixian personally rushed outside Fuzhou City, but did not enter the city, and presided over the execution of more than a thousand bandits.

When the news spread, both high-ranking officials and ordinary people in the prefecture were shocked. The Great Wei was very cautious in using the criminal law. Local officials needed to report a lot to kill a criminal. The prefecture and county level had no right to sentence the sentence to be sentenced to death. Only one way to punish the sentence could be sentenced to the sentence of serious sentences, but it had to be reported to the three courts of the capital, namely the Censorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Justice for review. The Censorate saw whether there were any collusion between officials and abuse of the law in order to prepare for impeachment. The Ministry of Justice was the highest department of the Censorate Envoy. The final conclusion and review of the criminal case were in the various departments of the Ministry of Justice.

After the Ministry of Justice review, the final review must be carried out by Dali Temple. The ministers of Dali Temple must finalize the criminal case, and the ministers sign and pass unanimously, and the case will be truly handled as an ironclad case.

In the end, the officials did not execute the criminals. After the review of the three courts, the emperor personally wrote the decision. A countryside leader, but his life was erased from the world by the emperor himself. This is a respect for human life. The so-called most precious human life is reflected in such criminal laws and specific means of execution.

Only military law is used in wartime, including the suppression of robbery cases, and military law is used against thieves, bandits, northern enemy Donghu and other foreign enemies, all of which are used.

It is also common to behead thousands of thousands of formations.

The more than a thousand people on the riverside were Xu Zixian ordered the execution of theft case. From a law, it is impeccable. Local military and political officials used the thief case to marching the law. No matter how many people killed the court, there was nothing to say. At most, there would be a memorial from the censor. A certain minister was cruel and bloodthirsty, and the killing was too bad... There was also a local military and political chief who was impeached by the censor on such a charge.

Lin Douyao, Yang Shiwei, Zheng Liqi and other officials went out together to visit His Royal Highness the King of Qin on the Min River.

"Can you advise Your Highness?" Yang Shiwei looked around. From the official road to the fields, there were crowds of people watching the bustling, beheading more than a thousand times at a time. It was an unprecedented event on Fujian Road. People like to watch such a bustling, and even many gentry and businessmen were not interested in this kind of thing. This time, they were also riding in a carriage or sitting in a soft sedan chair, mixed in a bustling crowd, and rushed to the execution place.

"I've said it." Lin Douyao said frankly: "The future of the emperor is in His Highness. What should I persuade him. I told His Highness that no matter how many killings are in the battle formation, it is not as good as the sensation caused by this execution and beheading. This matter is probably a detriment to His Highness's image. There will be rumors in the court and in the public that Your Highness is too harsh and is suspected of being violent in the remnants of the people."

Yang Shiwei said: "Didn't your highness listen?"

"Your Highness actually listened to it." Lin Douyao said: "But your Highness convinced the subordinates. The local area was unstable, officials were corrupt and fraud, and officials were on the move. There were many rogues among the people who were cunning and difficult to control. The reason was that the local tax was heavy, but the officials were not strong in the atmosphere, and the local control was not strict, and there were many bandits, thieves, rogues, raids, raiders, and gangsters. They could only be punished and started at the same time as the new officials and the rectification of the official style."

At this time, two battalions of government troops escorted the prisoners out of the city. The fields around were full of people. People were intimidated by the momentum. No one dared to whisper for a while. Although there were many people, they were silent. Only the winter wind blew across the fields, blew through the villages and houses, and whizzed past the tops of the forest.

Xu Zixian rode his horse and went to the riverside first, and the prisoners came over in a constant stream. Xu Zixian just glanced at him and was not very interested in what was happening in front of him.

Li Yi just arrived from the Dongfan and happened to encounter this big excitement. After all, he was a civil servant and did not take charge of the killing. Li Yi was quite stressed about the current situation, but he also knew that Xu Zixian had always had rules for dealing with thieves. In fact, everyone understood that the Wei Dynasty had at least established a country based on industry and commerce on Fujian Road at least. The local commerce was developed, and the scholarly style was inevitably slippery. In addition, the heavy taxes were heavy, going to sea was also a choice. People's awe and identity for the government gradually decreased.

In troubled times, we should use the important dictatorship. Xu Zixian's territory will be expanded from the Dongfan area to Fujian Road, govern Fujian Road, and govern Fuzhou first.

"Your Highness, Fu Qian will arrive tomorrow." Li Yi looked at the riverside uneasy, and a large number of soldiers of the government served as killers. He had previously asked the prisoners who had crossed the river to dig more than a dozen large pits that were more than a few feet deep, and everything was shocking.

Xu Zixian nodded and said, "Shipbuilding is important, and Fu Muzhi must not run back and forth."

The cotton fields, bean fields and rice fields in the Dongfan were gradually being reclaimed. After sufficient manpower, buying cattle, horses, donkeys, and mules was in progress. There were enough farm tools. As long as the land was set up, the newly arrived people asked the new man to sign the contract or press the handprint. Then everyone was divided into the fields, from houses, animal husbandry, to farm tools, land, and new immigrants, and they all borrowed money. In the following years, income would be used to pay. After repaying the debt, they would pay a certain amount of income to the royal palace. If it was a national tax, Xu Zixian's quota was not too low. After all, it was a lot of money to develop the Dongfan, and he needed to see returns and benefits. But it was definitely not high. At least compared with the court's regular taxes and numerous miscellaneous taxes, people living in the Dongfan should feel paradise.

In addition, there are mines and iron farms, and sugarcane planting. In winter, there are few things in the fields, and hundreds of households are also organizing people to choose wastelands everywhere to plant trees.

There are more mulberry trees, the more the better.

There is also the tea mountain to take care of the tea mountain. The climate in Dongfan is quite suitable for growing tea, and tea will be the main source of profit in the future.

In this era, people from all countries have become accustomed to drinking tea. Although the ways to drink tea are strange and different

However, the demand for tea is gradually rising. Under no circumstances will the tea be sold hard currency.

Porcelain, tea, and raw silk are the three major products of Dawei's foreign trade.

Dongfan also has salt, cotton cloth and porcelain. After all, dozens of towns in Jiangxi have a large number of porcelain kilns, and there are ready-made supporting large-scale industrial chains, so it is difficult to grab business.

There are several types of flagship products in Dongfan, and it is enough to add some supporting items for trade.

There was not much work before the New Year, and everything was gradually free. Only the mine iron yard was still hot. The iron yard had already reserved a large amount of fine iron. Fu Qian was preparing to find a suitable water flow in the middle, build a large-scale iron factory, manufacture various iron ware, sell it in the mainland or export it overseas.

Fu Qian's other job before the New Year was to preside over the construction of large warships. In late summer and early autumn this year, four medium and large warships were launched at the Dongfan Port.

All warships were equipped with corner rushing and a large number of crossbows and catapults.

"Our main ship has reached forty-four," Li Yi was very attentive without looking at the situation by the river, and said to Xu Zixian happily: "There are four more ships launched in the water in the next year, and the main ships can reach forty-eight, of which eight are large ships with a height of more than 500 tons. The bow and stern of the ship are equipped with giant crossbows and catapults with three crossbows."

Xu Ziyi nodded and said, "So it is urgent to expand the navy. The ships cannot be launched one after another, but there are no soldiers to take charge."

Li Yidao: "The new warship is ready to be trial-built two new warships, 500 tons. According to His Highness's instructions, the new ship is equipped with bed crossbows on the side and large artillery in front and back... The artillery trial casting and the new ship are the top priority for the Military Equipment Department's future work."

Of course Xu Zixian knew that these were all his instructions.

Xu Zi first ordered the casting of cannons, but only asked to cast large heavy cannons, and at the same time tried to improve the quality of gunpowder. It was not too anxious whether Fu Qian could make it.

The crossbow was replaced with heavy artillery and the warships were built large, just to carry more soldiers and were more suitable for implementing the horn-rushing tactics.

Li Yi said happily: "By next summer, there can be more than 45 large warships, forty or fifty medium warships, hundreds of small ships, and more than 200 ordinary merchant ships..."

The Dongfan shipyard is extremely large in size. It has been recruiting craftsmen and skilled workers for more than a year to increase the scale and reserve materials of the shipyard.

Now the iron yard has reserved a large amount of fine iron, and all kinds of iron tools for shipbuilding will be sufficient, and there will be enough fabrics. These are sufficient materials on the island. With the previous preparations, the subsequent shipbuilding work will be extremely fast and rapid.

In addition, ships ordered from private yards such as Linjia in Quanzhou will be delivered one after another next year, which will make the strength of the Dongfan Navy fleet suddenly reach a higher level. The previous warships were mostly small ships of more than 100 tons, and medium and large warships had more than 40 real warships, some of which were the Nanyang navy of the imperial court and the seized pirate ships. If not, the Dongfan fleet would have worse strength.

By the beginning of next summer, the fleet's strength will soar. The number of warships is nearly 80, and the number of naval troops will exceed 10,000. At that time, it will be five armies or six armies. It depends on the specific financial situation, but Xu Zixian's idea is that the more the more, the better the cavalry will be. The cavalry will be expanded as much as possible. Even if the number of new soldiers recruited is insufficient, they will use mixed horses and mules to train, and they must first enrich and expand the cavalry team.

Navy and cavalry are the top priority for expanding the army.
