Especially for adult men, escaping from prison is a serious crime and will harm their families.
Like quarrying, mining, transporting wood and stone raw materials, or building bridges and roads, these are extremely hard jobs that no one wants to do, and most of them fall into the category of corvee labor.
Every year, many people are exhausted to death in corvee labor.
If you encounter a harsh emperor who imposes corvées and taxes regardless of the life and death of the people, the people will be in dire straits and either starve to death or die of exhaustion, or they will run away and be caught and become labor prisoners.
When it reaches this level, the government/forces the people to rebel, which is often the beginning of troubled times.
Therefore.
Therefore, in ancient times, frivolous corvee and low taxes were regarded as the behavior of a wise king and were praised by the people.
Emperor Zhaoming himself can be called a wise emperor, but corvees still existed in the Northern Qin Dynasty, but they were not so harsh and would not tire people to death.
Xiao Lingyue looked at the hill-like wood and stone materials in front of her, and her eyebrows skipped a beat: "This is really a big project."
"It's really not easy to check them one by one."
The prince said helplessly, "The key is that you can't see the problem with the naked eye, and you don't know where to start even if you check it."
"Can I go over and have a look?" Xiao Lingyue asked, pointing to the stones.
"Please," the prince said.
Xiao Lingyue then passed over the guarding dragon scale guards and walked randomly to a pile of stones.
Each of these stones was two or three meters high. She stood in front and couldn't even see the top when she raised her head. She stretched out her hand and touched it. The rough surface of the stone rubbed against her palm. Even if she stretched out her hand to tap, she could not hear any problems.
.
Xiao Lingyue frowned and sighed inwardly.
At this time, it would be much simpler if there was a modern scanning device.
Just scan these stones and you will be able to tell immediately if there are any problems.
Unfortunately not.
It is too difficult to find problems with only one pair of eyes.
Xiao Lingyue didn't mind, and continued walking along the stones, stopping to touch them from time to time, thinking about possible solutions in her mind.
The prince did not go in with her, but stood on the outside.
Taking advantage of Xiao Lingyue's absence, the prince lowered his voice and asked Zhan Beihan: "What happened between you and Shen Wan?"
"Nothing!" Zhan Beihan looked coldly.
"You still want to lie to me?" The prince glared and said angrily in a low voice, "If it really wasn't anything, you would be arguing like this?"
Do you really think he has never had a woman?
I remember when he had a fight with the Crown Princess and his wife...
oh!
No, he and the Crown Princess have never had a quarrel and have always been in love with each other.
The prince felt a little proud for no reason. He raised his lips and said, "Although I didn't quarrel with your sister-in-law like this, I can tell that you and Shen Wan must have been unhappy about something, right?"
Zhan Beihan's face darkened and he looked at his brother speechlessly: "..."
Are you showing off to him?
Isn’t it amazing to have a good relationship with the emperor’s sister-in-law?
The prince winked at him and smiled, with hidden pride in his eyes: He is amazing, otherwise how could he be his brother?
Zhan Beihan sneered: "That's because the emperor's sister-in-law is gentle and doesn't have the same experience as you, otherwise..."
He glanced at his brother with disgust and sneered.
The prince didn't take it seriously: "Brother, I like this kind of gentleness. There are not many women from aristocratic families in the capital who can match your imperial sister-in-law, but there are also many who are similar. Don't you look down on them all?
Shen Wan's temperament is considered strong among women, and is not the same type as yours.
You just fell in love with her, what can you do about it? ☆ Free reading [ ] Fast updates without pop-ups☆ This chapter has been completed!
