Start with mythology: the immortals behind history

“How many people are there in this Lishan Imperial Mausoleum?” Chen Yang looked around at the torches that spread over the mountains and turned his head to look at Zhang Handan.

When Zhang Wei heard this, he hugged his fists and said: “There are more than 728,000 people, the specific number is not clear, every day prisoners and people will starve, exhaustion, or die of accidents, but at the beginning of each month, there will also be conscription from all over the world.” ”

“Starvation? Can’t get enough to eat? Zhao Ji looked at Zhang Wei in surprise.

The corners of Zhang Han’s mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at the young mansion quite strangely, feeling that this young mansion was really a new official who took office, and he would have such a bizarre idea by His Majesty’s side for a long time.

However, he still replied respectfully: “Lord Shaofu, since His Majesty unified the four seas, the conscription is not worth eating, they come here from their hometown, they will bring food, and at the beginning of each month, they will also send money and food from their respective families, only when the construction period is up, will they give some money to disperse, the prisoners have no family, they will not pay money, they will give a meal a day, but they will not be allowed to eat, after all, there are too many people here, and it is easy to get into trouble if they are too full.” ”

Chen Yang secretly sighed when he heard this.

Ignoring the fact that people work regardless of food is simply ruinous in modern society.

But it is also a fact, in fact, what Zhang Wei said is not entirely right, before coming here, Chen Yang did an investigation, the conscription of this imperial tomb is in charge of food and has money to take, Lu Buwei set the rule, prisoners have no money but manage food, the minfu is eight cents a day, and then deduct two cents of food and lodging every day, the conscription who comes to work here can generally go back to his hometown after one to two months, but he has to come back again after two months.

Normally speaking, in the first year, three or four times a year of conscription, that is, ordinary people, in addition to farming and autumn harvest, most of the time had to rush to various places to help the imperial court.

It’s just that with the domination of the world by Daqin, there is not only the big project of the imperial tomb, but also the construction of the Great Wall and the construction of the Afang Palace, etc., although the population of Daqin is larger, but money and food have still been insufficient.

And we had to beware of the Huns and South Vietnam, hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed abroad, and over time, there was not so much money and food.

Then the rules of distributing money and managing food slowly became a unified settlement after work, bringing their own food, giving eight wen a day, and 2,900 wen for a full year, so that it seems that there is no change, but in fact it has changed a lot.

Not being able to go home for a year is no different from having fewer people at home.

And need to send money and food from home, first help the imperial court reduce financial pressure, the most important thing is to do dirty work every day, dare to be lazy, there are small leather whips and big wooden sticks to serve you, and there is no place to treat the disease after illness, which eventually leads to very few people living to a year later to get money home.

Even if a very small number get money, they have to be bullied and exploited by officials and pawns, it would be nice to bring two thousand wen back, and after going back, rest for half a year, and then be brought back to work.

This is still a folk.

If it is a slave and a prisoner, even worse, giving you only enough food to survive every day, exhaustion, starvation, illness and death, no one cares, for Daqin, prisoners and slaves, that is a number, is waste, no one cares about their life or death.

Even if the imperial tomb is completed, the people can go back, and the prisoner slaves and craftsmen in charge of the secret construction of the inner center will have to be martyred with them.

This operation is simply an empty glove white wolf.

It’s no wonder they are all shouting tyranny, tyranny!

“General Zhang Handan!”

Chen Yang suddenly spoke, “You should know what happened to me on this trip, right?” ”

“The end will know!”

Zhang Wei nodded and said: “Your Majesty has issued a will, the immortal master wants to build an underground immortal palace on the basis of the imperial tomb, after receiving the will, I have already begun to prepare, and now what the prisoner of Minfu has done is only to perfect the previous structure, has stopped excavating, waiting for the immortal master’s immortal palace drawings.” ”

Chen Yang nodded slightly, waved his hand, and Zhao He walked out from the group of eunuchs and took out a long wooden box.

After opening the wooden box, a parchment scroll appeared in front of Zhang Han’s eyes.

I saw that on the original imperial tomb structure drawings, under the location of the underground heavenly palace, there was a hollow deep under the mountain, the cave was quite large, and the overall formation was similar to the facilities of the palace hall, Zhang Wei only took a cursory look, and suddenly felt shocked, in this new drawing, the underground immortal palace is several times the size of the underground heavenly palace above, if it is really built, it is simply a copy of the current Xianyang royal palace.

This area is enough to house tens of thousands of people.

This is still within the mountain.

What a terrible piece of engineering is this?

Digging mountains and chiseling rocks, I don’t know how many people will die, and is this structure reasonable? If you don’t get it right, maybe the mountain will collapse.

Thinking so, Zhang Han couldn’t help but clench his fists, for the construction of the imperial tomb by Ying Zheng, it took more than thirty years, and at most 800,000 people were used, and people died every day, for a long time, although numb, but also unbearable.

His Majesty’s will he is powerless and cannot resist.

But for Chen Yang, he was immediately disgusted in his heart, he Zhang Wei never believed in any immortal theory, nor had he seen mobile phones like those ministers of the imperial court, so in his opinion, Chen Yang was no different from those Fangshi and the like.

The only difference is that Chen Yang is the only one, with more power, one of the Nine Qings, and controls the power of the Three Qings, this kind of person, he can’t afford to offend.

But he didn’t dare to offend, but when he saw the drawings, the dissatisfaction and unbearability in his heart became more and more intense.

His Majesty built such an imperial mausoleum for his own selfishness, and it was not benevolent.

But now this immortal master, in order to pursue His Majesty, in order to ascend to a high position, in order to shoot His Majesty’s, actually drew such outrageous construction drawings, this…!

Silence for a long time.

In the end, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but say: “Immortal Master, with all due respect, digging such a huge underground palace under the underground immortal palace, this is completely impossible to achieve, not to mention the consumption of people’s resources and material resources, this structure alone will inevitably lead to the collapse of the mountain, and the death of tens of thousands of prisoners and slaves is nothing, but if it causes problems in His Majesty’s imperial tomb, you and I are not good to deal with.” ”

“Presumptuous!”

Young Mansion Zhao Ji’s face changed slightly, and he said sharply: “Zhang Handan, pay attention to your identity, the things that the immortal master decides down are something that you can question?” His Majesty has seen this drawing himself, and His Majesty has made up his mind to build it, how? You don’t want to? If you don’t want to, I can go to Your Majesty and change someone here.” ”

“The young mansion is angry, and the last general is also talking about things!”

Zhang Wei suddenly bowed and hugged his fist, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and at the same time, he was helpless.

“Oops, what’s wrong with this? Lord Zhao is not angry, he values peace, and he values peace! ”

At this time, Dong Yi, the guard captain who had arranged his subordinates, walked over, saw that his face changed slightly, and stepped forward to persuade that he knew and knew Zhang Handan, and he was also a military general, so he wanted to help one or two.

Zhao Ji saw Dong Yi helping Zhang Wei speak, and suddenly felt impatient, and turned his head with a cold snort.

And Dong Yi’s gaze was to look at Chen Yang, smiled and hugged his fist to apologize, here, after all, Chen Yang has the most power, Zhang Wei does not understand, but Dong Yi understands very well.

If Chen Yang wants to kill Zhang Han today, then His Majesty will also give Zhang Han death here.

Zhang Han was stunned, completely ignorant of this immortal master’s status in His Majesty’s heart.
