Chapter 449 Subversion

"Have you read the Qin Laws? Are they harsh regarding corvee service?" Hong Lianshuo looked at Han Qinhu and the others with a smile and said gently and forcefully.

"As far as I'm concerned, Qin's laws are paying taxes and arriving at the place of corvee service in time. Qin's laws are actually not strict." Han Qinhu's brown Tongren looked at them and said.

"How is that possible?" Wang Fengming looked at him in surprise and said, "Then why are Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelling?"

Sai Diaochan looked at her in surprise and said, "It's been passed down like this for so many years, why is it different?"

"This is written in black and white..." Hong Lianshuo suddenly stopped and said, "It should have been carved on the bamboo slips, and what you said was passed down. Three people become tigers. As for why it is passed down like this, I have to think about it myself."

"What does it say in the Qin Code?" Li Changfu asked curiously.

"It's very clear in Qin's code of corvee. The king has issued an order. If you have something to do at home and don't want to go, you don't have to obey. All you have to do is pay the money for two pairs of armors."

"Armor is so expensive! We can't use it in the military now! Some can only use rattan armor, and daily training involves carrying the same weight of wood." Li Shuangzhu said immediately.

"A pair of armor is enough to hollow out an ordinary family." Hua Sijin pursed her lips and said, "This is simply a disguised form of forcing the poor people to do corvee labor, which sounds nice."

Hong Lianshuo raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, saying, "We are not going to discuss whether this regulation is reasonable or not. We will simply look at the legal provisions and see that they are not so harsh, rigid and inhumane."

"Oh! You said it." Hua Sijin said with a slight blush.

"I'm emphasizing again, when we discuss, we can speak freely, and it doesn't matter if we say something wrong." Hong Lianshuo raised his index finger and glanced at them one by one.

"Then I can say anything!" Chen Zhongyuan exaggeratedly rolled up his sleeves and said.

"Say." Hong Lianshuo smiled and nodded heavily, "If you are late for less than five days, you will only be scolded, not beaten or scolded, let alone punished. If you are late for ten days, you will be fined the price of a shield."

"I can't even afford that shield." Chen Zhongyuan frowned like a caterpillar, "Iron is a controlled product and can't be taken out by others."

"What if it exceeds ten days?" Liu Kui asked curiously.

"If it has been more than ten days and you have not arrived at the designated gathering place, you will be punished by half of the penalty for disobeying the corvee, plus the price of a pair of armor." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his dark eyes.

"Then Chen Sheng, Wu Guang will definitely not be able to take it out." Ding Yougen said immediately after hearing this.

"To put it bluntly, this law means that if you have money, you will be exempted from the corvee, and if you don't have the money, you will do the corvee honestly." Li Xiaolan said straightforwardly, "The Qin Dynasty is too far away from me. Take our family as an example. If you do the corvee, you will not be paid. If you are late, you will be paid.

There is a fine. We poor people cannot afford this."

"It's not just that I don't have money! Sometimes I have to bring my own dry food." Hua Sijin hummed and said, "If you work too slowly, the whip will fall on you."

"How did Sister Hua know?" Ye Yunyu asked curiously.

"This is how the palace in Miyagi City was built." Hua Sijin said with cold eyes.

"Listen to what I have to say, this topic is wrong." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said, "The number of people recruited is enough. They should arrive at the service place as soon as possible. If it rains and cannot start construction, this recruitment can be exempted."

"Ah!" Chen Zhongyuan and the others looked at Hong Lianshuo dumbfounded, "Really? False?"

"Why did I lie to you?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them funny and said.

"I'm not lying to you, that's what the Qin Code says." Ye Yun looked at him with watery eyes and said.

"Then Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, didn't they just raise the flag because it was raining heavily and they couldn't arrive at the place of service on time, fearing that they would be executed according to the law?" Chen Zhongyuan pointed at the long table in front of him with his index finger, "How do you say that?

"My eyes lit up and I said, "I remember, I will be killed if I miss the deadline."

"Articles and execution are not the same thing." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with gentle eyes and said, "Performing corvee on time is a very difficult thing after all, and anything can happen along the way."

"In "Historical Records of the Chen She Family", if you are not on time for military service, you should be executed for military service, right? It is different from corvee service." Ye Yunyu heard this and said, "If you fail to arrive at the place on time for military service, you are really forcibly executed for not being on time!"

"This makes sense. Our treatment of deserters is cruel." Jiang Shuisheng said with a clear conscience after hearing this.

"There is something obviously wrong in the records of "Historical Records: The Chen She Family". During the corvee recruitment, he was accompanied by two generals of the Qin Army. Before Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, they killed the two generals of the Qin Army." Hong Lianshuo said profoundly.

He looked at them with straight eyes and said.

"The original text is: Guangqi, captured and killed the lieutenant, Chen defeated Zuo, and killed the two lieutenants!" Hong Lianshuo said in a popular way, "The general was drunk, Wu Guang deliberately angered the general, the general whipped Wu Guang, and then provoked conflicts,

Chen Sheng helped and killed the two generals."

"This doesn't seem right, does it?" Jiang Shuisheng frowned slightly and looked at them and said.

"What's wrong?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with interest and asked.

"This is a killing. Why are you drunk and angry? It seems to be intentional." Chen Zhongyuan scratched his head and said, "It seems that I was forced and it has nothing to do with me. This seems like

Shirk responsibility."

"Although it's inappropriate to say this, it looks like the general forced me to do it." Jiang Shuisheng heard this and analyzed, "But why do you do this?"

"We must first find out what these two generals do?" Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them with raised eyebrows.

"Does this need to be said? Escort the officials." Li Shuangzhu said without thinking after hearing this.

"It's really not true. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are not prisoners, so they don't need escorts." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his dark eyes.

"I know what it is. It's like a captain recruiting soldiers, leading the troops back." After hearing this, Jiang Shuisheng thought about it and looked at them and said, "What I said is right."

"Yes, that's the boss." Hong Lianshuo smiled and nodded, "Then if they miss the deadline, do you think they can run away?"

"If you can't run away, if you want to kill them, I'll kill them first." Chen Zhongyuan said without thinking after hearing this.

"But you can't arrive on time, why are you still in the mood to drink! This is against common sense. Shouldn't we be traveling day and night?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bottomless eyes and said.

"Ah...this..." Everyone looked at her dumbfounded.

"You want to say that, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang deliberately incited the people." Lin Nanzheng swallowed and said in disbelief, "This is impossible! This is a book written by Tai Shigong, how can it be wrong?"

"Historical Records are also written by individuals, and there must be historical data to support them. To be honest, there are some inaccuracies in them." Hong Lianshuo looked at them calmly and said, "Tai Shigong did not see it with his own eyes."
