The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Gu Jingzhi stood up with a start.

"Tell me quickly, has Lin Feng finished his work?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sandao smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir! Brother Lin and his guards have wiped out all the bandits on Linshan Mountain! The bandits on Linshan Mountain have been completely wiped out. From now on, there will be no more worries about banditry..."

"What?"

Gu Jing was stunned and asked, "Did Lin Feng kill all the people?"

Without waiting for Liu Sandao to reply, Gu Jingzhi angrily said, "Lin Feng, that prodigal son, how can he be killed? There are more than 10,000 young and strong men there. If they are all killed, where will I get the people to build Ningzhou in the future?"

You know, who among those who can become a bandit doesn’t have some strength?

Except for the main culprit, Gu Jingzhi planned to use the others to do hard labor for a few years. After the labor reform was over and these people became well-behaved, he would turn them into good citizens to enrich the population of Ningzhou.

just now……

When Liu Sandao saw Gu Jingzhi's big reaction, even his wife and the old lady of the Lin family looked over here, and he immediately knew that Gu Jingzhi had misunderstood.

He said with a smile: "Sir, those bandits are still alive. Brother Lin only captured them alive and didn't chop them up yet!"

"..."

Ok!

I misunderstood the feeling.

He asked, "Where are they and when can they come back?"

"It's almost there, we're on the way, and we'll be back in Ningzhou soon!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi waved his hand and shouted, "Tao'er, go to my study and bring me the memorial I wrote!"

Memorial?

What memorial?

Liu Sandao was slightly stunned.

Not long after, Tao'er was seen handing a thick memorial to Gu Jingzhi, who threw the memorial into Liu Sandao's arms.

"This is a report I, your master, wrote to the capital. It contains some recent events, as well as the bandit problem in Ningzhou. Please send a clever brother to rush this memorial to the capital. Emmm... just give it to my mentor, Master Wei!"

"???"

Liu Sandao was stunned and said stupidly, "Sir? The bandit suppression isn't over yet... Have you finished writing the memorial?"

"Nonsense? A mere bandit, wouldn't that be easy to capture? Your master, I wrote a memorial in advance so that I can report the good news to the capital as soon as possible, right?"

Gu Jingzhi said this with a hint of pride, then warned, "Now, let me tell you something! This report is very important, and it must be sent to the capital as soon as possible. We must not miss any important events!"

In addition to reporting to Emperor Xia on various matters concerning Ningzhou... and Ningzhou's future development plan, he also asked Emperor Xia for a lot of other things.

The Ningzhou bandit suppression was successful, and more than 100,000 to 200,000 people were about to go down the mountain. He had enriched Ningzhou with so many people. As the patriarch of Daxia, Emperor Xia couldn't just ignore the lives of these people, right?

It’s not too much for us to ask for some money and food, right?

After Liu Sandao was pushed out of the yard by Gu Jingzhi in a daze, he saw Gu Jingzhi turning around and going back into the yard, and immediately gave a bitter smile.

This adult of mine is really...

……

Gu Jingzhi returned to the courtyard and smiled at the old lady of the Lin family, "Grandma, our brother Feng has made me proud. He won two consecutive victories in suppressing bandits. He must be the first to contribute to the future development of Ningzhou!"

After hearing this, the old lady smiled and said, "That's all thanks to you, my brother. If it weren't for you, Chong'er and Feng'er wouldn't be where they are today."

"Hey, grandma, I love hearing what you said!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled cheerfully, then said, "The soldiers who went out to suppress the bandits will be back soon. I have to ask someone to arrange other things first. Grandma, you guys can sit here first and have dinner with me later before you go back!"

"it is good!"

The old lady said happily: "This important matter cannot be delayed. You go and do it first. Don't worry about me. I have my granddaughter-in-law to accompany me!"

"okay!"

Gu Jingzhi smiled cheerfully, then turned and left the yard, leaving behind the happy Old Lady Lin and Chen Yu, and the envious Gu Yunzhi standing aside.

She looked at Gu Jingzhi's back and thought of Gu Huanzhi who was still suffering...

If they had not taken the wrong path, their two younger brothers would have been able to achieve great things together, right?

……

The bandit suppression mission was accomplished. The two largest bandit gangs in Ningzhou were eliminated, and then more than 100,000 people went down the mountain.

Gu Jingzhi and other officials in Ningzhou were extremely busy. Even Lin's third uncle, who was not an official but was teaching in the provincial capital, was drafted by Gu Jingzhi and was forced to bring his students to work as a clerk under him.

In front of all the people of Ningzhou and the people who had just come down from the mountains... Gu Jingzhi personally issued a notice on how to deal with those bandits. Then, in front of the people, he arrested those who had harmed the people and beheaded them in front of everyone.

Gu Jingzhi specially set up an execution platform outside the city and gathered those mountain people together to watch the execution.

In a short time, heads of people were killed and blood flowed for two miles.

Daxia has extremely strict control over the death penalty, but that is only for ordinary people.

If an ordinary citizen is sentenced to death, it must be reviewed by the Dali Temple and then reviewed by the Ministry of Justice before it can be issued to the local area.

This is also why there is the saying of execution after the autumn.

The main reason is that this was ancient times...it took a lot of time to go back and forth, and with the procedures, time just flew by.

The reason why Gu Jingzhi was able to kill these bandits with just a single word was that he held the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword and had the power to act at his own discretion.

In addition, these bandit leaders cannot be killed to appease the public anger and stabilize the people's hearts!

Only by using the blood of these bandit leaders to warn the world can Ningzhou develop with peace of mind in the future!

In addition, the Linshan banditry and Lianyunzhai are only the two largest bandit gangs in Ningzhou. There are also many strongholds of varying sizes in other places. Although these cannot become a major threat, they must all be wiped out!

Especially Fufeng County, where Gu Jingzhi's unfortunate brother Chen Baonian lived, was a poor place where even a mouse would cry and leave behind two grains of rice when crossing the street, but there were thousands of bandits there.

However, the reason these bandits were in Fufeng was simply because the Fufeng County government was weak, so they could boldly rob smugglers in Fufeng.

After all, apart from smuggling, no one would pass through Fufeng.

Even so, the bandits were kept fat and prosperous.

……

After killing those bandits, whether it was the mountain dwellers who had just come down from the mountain or the common people in the city, they were all subdued by Gu Jingzhi's murderous nature!

After intimidating the mountain people, Liu Sandao began to announce Gu Jingzhi's punishment on the mountain people.

When these mountain people heard that they would be slaves for three years, their faces were filled with sorrow. However, when they heard that the government promised to give them land after three years, they immediately became excited.

Of course, everyone knows the situation in Ningzhou. It is full of mountains, so where can there be fertile land?

However, these were not introduced in detail. After all, the terraced fields had not been developed yet, so no one would believe it even if I told them!

After staying in Ningzhou for a few days and dividing the population among the four counties, Gu Jingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He will have to stay in Fufeng County for a long time for the next period of time. After all, Fufeng is the most suitable place to build terraces, and it is also a good place to eliminate the banditry there.
