From the Chaoyang Gate of the capital to the Donghua Gate of the palace city, the carriages and horses transporting earth and stone are lined up in a long line, the people are noisy, the cattle and horses are neighing, and it is very busy.

Most of the captives captured during the war were used to open mines in Ma'anshan, and only 7,000 people were used to build Miyagi, who were responsible for those high-intensity jobs.

The Ministry of Industry recruited another 70,000 refugees as the main force for the construction of Miyagi.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally filled Yanque Lake as the imperial palace, so there was a phenomenon of sinking, but after nearly three hundred years, everything that should have sunk has been sunk, and it is theoretically impossible to sink again.

But just in case, Huang Zhenlin used boulders as piles for the pedestals of all palaces, the piles were four zhang deep, and they were paved layer by layer.

Outside the base of the palace, the foundation of the entire palace is filled in with layers of lime triple soil.

Qin Mu stood outside the noon gate and looked at the busy construction site, turned around and asked, "Wailang, has the total budget come out?" ”

Huang Zhenlin replied: "Back to the King of Qin, it has been calculated, and it has been submitted to Song Shangshu yesterday, with a preliminary budget of four million taels, including the repair and renovation of the six official offices. ”

When Qin Mu was in Huguang, he established a set of budget mechanisms, and for such a large project, there must be a relatively accurate budget. It is easy to supervise with a budget, otherwise a large amount of silver will inevitably fall into the pockets of those officials who procure stone and timber.

"It's hard work." Qin Mu said with a smile.

"Don't dare."

After having more contact with Qin Mu, Huang Zhenlin found that Qin Mu was usually relatively approachable. It doesn't look like the original legend kills people without blinking, and it is no longer so restrained in front of him.

Qin Mu chatted with him for a while, and Huang Lianshan hurriedly came to report: "King Qin, Zheng Zhilong has withdrawn his troops back to Fujian. ”

"Is the news conclusive?"

"Di Zhongxing sent a ship to follow him to monitor, Zheng Zhilong's fleet retreated south along the coast, and our ship followed after Hangzhou Bay before returning and reporting."

"Okay, order Di Zhongxing, according to the plan, divide the troops to the north to reinforce Huai'an, and the other half of the naval division will be stationed on Chongming Island to deploy defenses."

"Yes, King Qin."

On the way back to the palace. Qin Mu was in a good mood. Sit in a sedan chair and enjoy the view on both sides of the street. Walking from Chengtianmen to West Chang'an Street, there are official offices such as the General Administration Department and the Pedestrian Department on both sides. These yamen are still very deserted, and there are no official officials.

The Xiangren Division is mainly in charge of matters such as promulgation and canonization. Whoever promulgates edicts, canonizes the clans, appeases the Quartet, recruits talents, and rewards, condolences, almsgiving, military affairs, and sacrifices. and sent his pedestrians on the way.

There are many other institutions similar to the Pedestrian Division. The state of Qin was not established. Others think that this is the beginning of the Qin State, because it is simple, and it will have time to be established in the future. In fact, Qin Mu didn't want to set up these institutions at all, the functions of these departments could actually be divided into six departments or each temple, and there was no need to set up another organization, making the central organization bloated.

When I walked to Tongjimen Street, I happened to meet Qiao'er who went to see the "public trial conference" outside the Taiping Gate, Qin Mu came to see the progress of the construction of the palace, this girl followed out, and saw a large number of people to see the "public trial" halfway, and she also took Ye Han to join in the fun.

Approaching October, when the weather turned cold, Qiao'er covered the brocade green rose tight-fitting undergarment with an ivory embroidered colorful chrysanthemum armor, with a pair of double buns on it, pinned with a white jade bell hairpin, full of the youthful atmosphere of cardamom.

"Girl, is it good-looking?" Qin Mu asked with a smile on his face.

The little girl sniffed and shook her head: "There are too many people, people don't dare to squeeze in, I can't see it." ”

"Just see people, you wanted to join in the fun."

Qiao'er's bright eyes flashed twice and argued strongly: "It's not a mile, Brother Qin, people just can't figure it out, Hong Chengchou is obviously a big traitor and the boss of the Tartars, then he must be guilty, why do you want to try him?" ”

"Huh"

"Brother Qin, say it quickly, why do you want to judge Hong Chengchou?"

It's no wonder that Qiao'er has this question, and the commander of the captured enemy army also has a three-hall trial, which seems to be a matter of taking off his pants and farting, and it is estimated that it has not been traced back to the Paleolithic Age.

Qin Mule replied he: "Brother Qin is a good person, and he doesn't want to wronged people, so whether he is guilty or not will be tried by the three divisions." ”

"Brother Qin deceives people, that's not the case."

"Hehe, Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, meaning Pei Gong, you should have heard this story."

Qiao'er was even more confused, her eyes slanted, and she thought hard, "I've heard of it, which gong does Brother Qin's sword dance mean?" ”

"Guess?"

"The Emperor of the Tartars, no"

"What's wrong?"

"Of course it's not right, if it's the emperor who intends to be a Tartar, there is no need for a retrial."

There are many people who have the same questions as Qiao'er, and the open space in front of the Jingbu Hall outside the Taiping Gate is surrounded by a sea of people, and hundreds of Qin soldiers and soldiers have pulled up a human wall to prevent the people from rushing in.

On the high steps in front of the lobby, Bai Tie, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Shao Hua, the imperial official of the left capital, and Chen Kaiji, the young secretary of Dali Temple, sat on it, and Hong Chengchou, who was dressed in white prison clothes, was escorted by the officials to kneel at the foot of the steps.

People on the periphery kept shouting: "Kill him!" "Kill him!" In short, for people like Hong Chengchou, they didn't kill them directly, but also tried them with three divisions, and everyone didn't understand it.

Bang! The presiding white iron slapped the hall violently, and the people outside quieted down.

Bai Tie shouted: "My king is ordered by the sky, the king of the world, Ze is clothed with the common people, and the people are virtuous." Mencius Yiyun: Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not supported by their strength. Those who convince people with virtue will be convinced by the center.

Hong Chengchou, you have betrayed your ancestors and forgotten your ancestors, acted for the tiger, and killed the people in vain, and the crime is unforgivable, but my king Nian has the virtue of a good life in heaven, and does not kill people who have not been tried;

It is to order the three divisions to be tried, to give you a chance to defend yourself, hoping that you can truthfully confess your crimes, and if you have other hidden reasons for joining the enemy, maybe your family can still avoid punishment. ”

Hong Chengchou knew that the death penalty was inevitable, so he originally disdained to answer;

But Bai Tie's last sentence reminded him of what Gannan said last time he went to Nanjing, when Gannan also mentioned his mother and sighed that "pity the hearts of parents in the world";

Gan Nan was an envoy on behalf of Qin Mu, and his words naturally represented Qin Mu's meaning.

This made Hong Chengchou see a glimmer of hope, although his capital crime was inevitable, if he could fight for a glimmer of life for his family, it would be commendable.

Bai Tie slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted: "Hong Chengchou, this official asks you, in March of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, you were trapped in Songshan, there were no reinforcements outside, and there was no food and grass inside, and finally Songshan City was broken, and after being captured, you went on a hunger strike for several days and refused to surrender, but is there such a thing?" ”

The people on the periphery were in an uproar when they heard this, how could it sound like Bai Tie was helping the big traitor Hong Chengchou say good things? Could it be that the King of Qin really intended to pardon Hong Chengchou's crimes?

Hong Chengchou was also a little stunned, but with his mind, he naturally knew that things were not so simple, so he replied cautiously: "It is true." ”

Bai Tie continued to ask: "Hong Chengchou, since you are on a hunger strike and begging for death, why did you surrender to Qing? ”

Hong Chengchou was silent and did not answer.

Bai Tie shouted: "You don't dare to answer, do you? Then the official will come to answer for you, the enemy chief Taiji saw that you had some talent, and wanted to recruit you, so he asked the concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, that is, the so-called Queen Mother Borzigit of the Tartars, to come to wait for the meal and recommend a pillow for herself;

You are not strong-willed, you can't resist the temptation of Borzigit, so you surrender to the enemy and commit treason, yes or no?

Hong Chengchou, as the governor of Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty, you have received the emperor's grace, but you have betrayed the enemy for a shameless Hu girl who can be a husband, and you are a tiger and a man, you are really a vain person."

What Bai Tie said behind him, and how Hong Chengchou answered, were all covered by the noise on the periphery.

Hong Chengchou treason still has such a secret, thousands of people listened to it, couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and boiled;

Some scolded Hong Chengchou for being a woman who disregarded the grace of the country, and some laughed at the loss of Tartar ethics, and even used a concubine to lure the captives, but this concubine is still the mother of the Tartar Emperor, and is also respected as the Queen Mother, the Tartar is the Tartar, there is no etiquette and shame, the gang is often corrupt, and the beast is not as good!

Bai Tie let the people make noise for a long time before he slapped the shocked wood and continued the interrogation: "Hong Chengchou, regardless of the dirty affairs between you and the Tartar chieftain's mother, you accept the order of the Tartars, and use the pseudo position of 'Recruiting the Governors of Jiangnan Provinces Military Affairs University' to command the soldiers and horses invaded by the Tartars in Jiangnan, and carry out the shaving order, tens of thousands of people in Jinling were beheaded because they did not want to shave their hair, tens of thousands of people in Jiading were slaughtered, and where the Tartars passed, rape and plunder, murder and arson, all kinds of evil, you are not only the commander, but also the most heinous crime, can you confess your guilt?" ”
