The First Emperor's Northern Tour?

Lu Zhe didn't know if there was such a thing as the first emperor's northern tour in the history of Lu Dao, judging from the constant changes around him, the emperor's tour seemed to be a great event.

The matter of selecting the front was temporarily shelved, the routine drill stopped, and everything gave way to the emperor's northern tour?

The rules that did not prohibit soldiers from walking around seemed to have changed, and an atmosphere of solemnity and solemnity was constantly strengthened and strengthened, and the sergeants who were usually strict with self-denial suddenly had a little inexplicable joy, and the smiles and satisfaction were so obvious.

To be honest, Lu Zhe, who learned about the First Emperor's northern tour, was also very excited, although this excitement was different from others, the so-called difference was not like other people who regarded the First Emperor as a god in their minds, but they were just excited.

Modern people are accustomed to the high-speed pace of life, and waiting to learn that the first emperor's northern tour will be next year, Lu Zhe is obviously a little surprised.

"Tragedy! Now until next year, why are you so excited? ”

The pace of life in ancient times was slow, and a few months passed in a blink for many people, but for Lu Zhe, a few months was a very long time, and he couldn't understand what would happen after a few months, and now he was on high alert.

"Months of being on guard?"

The incident happened at an untimely time, and he could go out of the camp to get to know Liu Ji without guard, and he could continue to drink and chat with the two brothers every night. With vigilance, let alone leaving the camp, the prohibition of alcohol that the Qin army rarely issues has also been issued, he has not seen Xu Yang and Li Liang for four days, day by day, except for the necessary duty, he can only stay in the tent and review the art of war as if he was writing.

And it seems that the emperor's northern tour is a matter for the entire county? Not only were the military on alert, but civilian travel was also restricted. The city gates of various county towns began to increase their troops, and the county lieutenants responsible for catching the roosters and dogs frequently issued orders, and those who were in charge of law and order "begging thieves" and "wandering to confiscate" began to operate at a high speed like spinning tops.

Lu Zhe, who was in the barracks, naturally couldn't feel the tense atmosphere outside, and he didn't know that the county guard of Lu Dao was a little jumpy in order to cope with the tribute that the First Emperor needed during his northern tour.

When the emperor went on patrol, the local government needed to recruit additional conscripts to build bridges and roads, and individual counties would also repair the city walls, so the number of people needed was very large.

This conscription does not count towards the annual share, that is to say, it is a special increase in the call-up. And when winter is about to pass and spring is approaching, the county issued a special conscription order, and many people are worried about spring ploughing.

The summoned personnel need to bring their own food, and they will march to the township from each pavilion, and the three elders of the township need to report to the county magistrate in the county, so there will be a Ling Shi sent by the county to come and make arrangements.

The money and food that the emperor needed when he went on patrol was provided by the locality. The number of troops and servants who followed the emperor's tour was as high as more than 100,000, and it was necessary to provide more than 200,000 garrisons and pay tribute to the emperor on patrol, so you can imagine how great the economic pressure of the place should be.

One day, when Lu Zhe saw that there were constantly large and small groups of people flocking to Yangzhou City, he didn't react and thought that he was gathering a crowd to make trouble. Later, when he saw that those people were three miles away from the city wall and five miles from the barracks and began to build shacks, he was even more puzzled.

"What do those people do?"

"Back to the tun chief, it looks like a servant of the people."

Minyu? Those people watched at least 10,000 or 20,000 people, building shacks at one end in the east and one in the west, occupying an ever-expanding area. But there seems to be a boundary? They did not dare to approach the city wall for three miles, and they did not dare to approach the barracks for five miles.

There is an obvious point, they probably gather in the "township", and after setting up the shack, some people will enter the county seat, and every time they return, they will always bring large bags of things.

An officer came over to inform him that there was friction on Minyu's side, and the sergeant on duty needed to go and press it.

Lu Zhe, who received the order, quickly assembled the soldiers in Tunli, and the prepared soldiers led the following team out of the gate in Jiaoqu.

The number of garrisons has been reduced more or less in training, and the number of people in Lu Zhe's cantonment has not been replenished at all since the training caused the attrition, and the rest of the cantonments are actually about the same.

When the troops without full strength arrived in the area of Minyu, Lu Zhe had to admire the man-made destructive power, the original turf became the roof of the shack, the trees were cut down into the branches of the shack, and the most bizarre thing was that in less than half a day's effort, some places were covered with feces and urine.

Before arriving, Lu Zhe had actually imagined in his mind, thinking that the so-called suppression was the rhythm of sending troops to kill without mercy, but it didn't seem to be the case?

It turned out that this time it was not at all like the experience of supervising the straight road, he came to directly send troops to suppress it, and the methods adopted were so mild that Lu Zhe was a little uncomfortable.

Jiaoqu, who led the team, ordered the two gangs to be separated and did not deal with them directly, but waited for the two townships to manage the conscription.

The so-called friction between the two sides is actually a bit laughable, in fact, it is to cut the grass that is thought to be a certain party. The two gangs didn't move from beginning to end, they just split into two sides and kept scolding and spitting.

After a little understanding, Lu Zhe knew that the reason why he didn't do it was not how gentle they were, but that Qin Law forbade private fighting. Qin law is strict, and for the head of Qian, there is basically no extralegal favor, so there is friction, and it is a trivial matter not to do it, once you do it, you will be whipped and beaten, and you will be beheaded to show the public.

Today is the first day that Minyu gathered next to Yangzhou County, and Jiaoqu took people to deal with no less than ten disputes intermittently from morning to night, so that later the captain in the barracks simply passed down the order, and Jiaoqu's team was responsible for supervising Minyu.

Frankly speaking, compared to staying in the barracks, Lu Zhe likes this kind of task very much. At least you don't have to be confined to a tent without anything, do you?

Waking up every day, leading the team to the Minyu area, and occasionally dealing with the friction between the people, Lu Zhe learned more about the customs and folklore of the Qin period. He likes to chat with people a lot of times, and when he chats a lot, he becomes friends with a You Duan named Zheng Min.

In fact, it is also a forced labor, but the difference from ordinary forced labor is that he is in charge of patrolling places and arresting thieves.

During this period of time, Lu Zhe fully understood the local situation from Zheng Min, and once when he was chatting energetically, the black man in Tunli came to report that Minyu had a conflict with the people in the county.

"Conflict?"

Lu Zhe knows the difference between the words of the Dao, that is, it means that the two sides have done it.

Led people to hurry up and came to the place of the conflict not far away, Lu Zhe heard roars and screams in his ears, and from a distance, more than a dozen people were surrounding the two, and the people who rushed in were knocked to the ground by a strong man with several punches, and this picture was repeated repeatedly.

When he got closer, Lu Zhe seemed to be stunned at first when he saw something, and then he laughed out loud: "It's okay now!" ”

It turned out that the people who were surrounded were Liu Ji and Fan Xu!
