The big man has a living father

Chapter 234 (Big Chapter) The Great Han Police Story
After the court meeting was over, something happened between the Wei Huo family, the emperor's in-laws, and it was not known to outsiders.

But the establishment of the police system spread throughout the country like a gust of wind.

At least in Chang'an, the topic has become an absolute hot topic of discussion.

The system currently used by the Han Dynasty is the official system.

The so-called officials are those selected by the emperor himself, or those who are authorized by the court to select officials when the emperor does not have that much time.

The officials are selected independently by local areas.

In the past, the status of officials was relatively low.

This can be seen from certain things.

After all, bad things are called "officials", such as cruel officials.

The petty official also had something to say: Do I have the right to be cool with just these few rights?

But times have changed now. In addition to food, people are also given money.

These 120,000 job opportunities are top-notch jobs that come with both power and pay.

You should know that when the railway police were recruited, it caused a sensation in Chang'an at that time.

But in fact, not many people were admitted.

And now?

One hundred twenty thousand!
There are currently 143 counties and 1914 districts in the country, with a population of . What does this mean?
This means that one county has 60 places!
There may not be so many people in the county town, after all, there are townships below, while more people are needed in the county towns and big cities.

But in fact, among the 1,900 counties of the Han Dynasty, only a few hundred have large populations. Some counties were established in the newly conquered territories in the past two years and are still under military control. Even if police officers are recruited, there are not that many.

Therefore, almost every county has confirmed at least sixty or seventy places.

In big cities, the population may be hundreds or even thousands.

If there are only a few positions like those of railway police, no one would rush to grab them because it is obvious at first glance that they will never be theirs.

But now, it's different.

With so many positions available, it looks like there's an opportunity.

This is going to be a fight!
Even on the same day, some people started writing articles to comment on this system, and there were quite a few of them, and many people submitted articles to newspapers.

Some even predict that one day in the future the police force will only be able to get in through examinations, just like the imperial examinations today.

Because wise people know that expansion will stop one day. When it is impossible to expand the market, they will have to go back and chew on the existing market.

By that time, money will not be so easy to make. Not everyone can find a job that can support a family, own a house, and save money.

By then, the positions offered by the Han Dynasty court would be like god-like iron rice bowls.

The reason why everyone is discussing this so enthusiastically is not just because they can apply for this job, but also because it will affect everyone's lives.

It can even be said to change everyone's lives.

The first and most crucial point is that in the past in Chang'an City, it was common for people to see each other on the street and get upset with each other and directly draw their swords to challenge each other to a duel.

Now it needs to be strictly restricted.

The plan currently being circulated is that there will not be a one-size-fits-all duel mode, but rather that a duel will only be allowed if the two parties really have a grudge that is irreconcilable and the police are unable to resolve it.

If one of the parties makes a mistake, not only will the duel be prohibited, but the police will also arrest that person and put him in jail.

If there is no reason, but someone just challenges someone to a duel in the street because he is displeased with them, he will be arrested and sent to jail directly.

This situation is extremely harmful to the stable development of society.

If this was a few years ago, no one would have thought so, but now, everyone really thinks it makes sense.

Just think about it, a person is so young, has just spent three years studying, has learned everything new, and has become a glorious researcher, not just joining a large laboratory, but even joining the Royal Academy.

After completing his studies, such a top talent is finally going to contribute to the Han Dynasty.

At this time, any passerby who was displeased with him would draw his sword and challenge him to a duel.

If you don't agree, that would be cowardice.

Why would someone as a rising talent in the new policy fight with a worthless thing like you?

But if I don't agree, it would be a loss of face.

However, the death of a small jerk would have no effect on the big man, but the death of a researcher would be a huge loss to the big man.

Therefore, the authorities must ban this kind of unreasonable and inexplicable duel.

Moreover, if anyone dares to do so again, just arrest them directly. This way, it will not affect the person who has been provoked and can protect the person who has been provoked. Secondly, the big man's cell can also welcome a free labor force.

This is a win-win situation, the court wins twice!

In this case, the Han officials would of course propose to ban duels.

As for the common people, if it were a few years ago, everyone was dead. If you dare to yell at me, I will chop you to pieces.

You dare to draw your sword? My sword is not bad.

Today, I have finally earned a salary of three thousand after working for several years and completing the initial accumulation. Now I have opened my own store and my monthly income is heading for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I will be a millionaire in one or two years, and maybe I can expand production again and get into the upper class society.

Who are you? Just let me duel you want?
The more urban residents live, the more their thoughts tend to pursue stability.

There weren’t so many people in the past, so how could the court manage the duels?

Now there may be police in any area, so it’s not that simple.

You dare to challenge me to a duel. It will take time to prepare, right?
You haven't even started the duel yet, and the police are arresting you to boost your performance.

In addition to this impact, there is also the transportation industry.

Those big transportation companies control long-distance transportation and make huge profits.

Everyone knows that if you push a cart of goods to Qilu to sell them, and then push a cart of goods from Qilu back to Chang'an, your assets will increase fivefold in a one-way trip, and at least twenty times in a round trip.

As long as you have the drive, you can definitely go this route.

But the problem is that in the past, bandits were rampant and the probability of success for a person traveling this route was less than one percent.

Now, with the Mounted Police, how fast are the Mounted Police? They are cracking down on bandits and road bullies everywhere, at least large-scale bandits and road bullies must be eliminated.

In this way, as long as they are brave enough and form groups of three or five people, small private caravans can also do business across the country!

This way, goods can be transported faster. Although prices will certainly drop and you won't make as much money, it shouldn't be a problem to make several times the money for a round trip, right?

Take a trip and you will be rich and prosperous.

Are you going to do it?

In the past, desperate people would not dare to take this route with a 99% mortality rate. Now, there is a 90% chance of life and death, and as long as you are not extremely unlucky, you will just be a little tired and suffer.

This is the benefit of a stable society with smooth roads!
Also, in the past, people didn’t dare to do business in unfamiliar rural areas. Unless they had a backer, who would dare to do business in the countryside? Aren’t they afraid of being robbed?
If someone was killed and buried randomly, there would be only two or three petty detectives in a county. Where could they investigate?

And who would want to be a peddler if he has a strong backing and background?
Therefore, goods do not go to the countryside. Anyone who wants to buy them has to go to the city.

It takes dozens of miles to go from the countryside to the city, and sometimes you can't come back in a day.

There are many wild animals outside at night. What if he dies on the road?
Therefore, even if people in the countryside have money, they cannot spend it.

Now, with a large number of police escorts, how many people dare to commit crimes directly? Merchants can naturally go to the countryside for business.

As a result, many businesses have been derived.

Also, people used to be worried about fires, but once a fire broke out, they didn’t know how to put it out or how to organize it.

It’s good to live in the core area of ​​a big city like Chang’an, because there is a special lookout team, and whenever a fire breaks out, they can immediately arrive at the scene to organize firefighting.

Although we cannot save the burning house, at least we can clear the area quickly and protect the neighbors from being dragged down.

Now with the fire alarm, things are different!

Everything has changed!

This means that from now on, business will be easier to do, communication between different places will be more frequent, and the entire Han Dynasty will almost be changed.

And only a very small number of people saw the accident hidden beneath the story.

Most of them only vaguely felt wrong.

Why did Huo Hai propose such a complex and huge architecture at one time, and after proposing it, it gave people the feeling that it must be built immediately and could not be delayed?

This shows that Huo Hai’s original intention may not just be that the Han Dynasty needs this now, but that he personally also needs this.

And only a very small number of extremely sensitive people could discover that Huo Hai had grabbed the tiger's butt!
After this system is completed, it will have an independent information transmission system, an independent survey information system, and independent superiors.

this means.

If anything happens in the territory of the Han Dynasty, Huo Hai will know it first.

What does this mean in reverse?

That is to say, some things may happen in the territory of the Han Dynasty that Huo Hai is not aware of, and these things may threaten Huo Hai.

That's why Huo Hai needs to build this system to counter it.

So who could do something that could threaten Huo Hai?

Is it Zhang Tang and Sima Xiangru? No, compared with Huo Hai, one of the three ministers, the power concentration of the other two is not that high.

Could it be his brother Huo Qubing?

Or Wei Qing?

Does anyone know what kind of personality Wei Qing has?

So, there is only one, and that is the emperor.

In other words, Huo Hai was on guard against the emperor.

However, the fact that this matter could be successfully promoted meant that the emperor was in the wrong and he took a step back.

In other words, when everyone saw that there might be a gap, the first boxing match had actually ended.

The emperor, who was in the wrong, took a step back and allowed Huo Hai to take such precautions. This also showed that the situation was stable and nothing would happen to affect development.

Only after analyzing this truth did they breathe a sigh of relief.

There are too many things involved in this matter. Now we can only analyze it. To really know what it means, we need to wait until the entire framework is built.

Only then will you know the answer.

Amidst such shocking news, a piece of news that the people of Chang'an City should be more concerned about was overshadowed.

Huo Hai married his second wife.

To the outside world, she is a princess, but within the Huo Mansion, she is distinguished by the First Lady and the Second Lady.

A large number of guests were invited on this day.

Jiang Buyi invited the teacher to cut a rabbit and then have a meal.

Why would the prince want to eat this meal for free?
"This, I... I am too old to go out and eat for free."

Jiang Buyi: "Ah? I still have three more classes this month. I was going to bring my teacher with me, but now I have no choice but to forget it."

Liu Ju: "Take me with you, take me with you!"

……

The county that never sleeps.

Located in Donglai County.

It currently belongs to Zibo State.

Zibo was the vassal state with the most counties in the entire Han Dynasty. It was separated from Jiaodong in the past.

There are many different divisions on the ownership of this area.

The current King of Zibo is called Liu Jian.

He is not Liu Xijun's father, Liu Jian. There are serious cases of duplication of names among the royal family of the Han Dynasty. There are at least ten Liu Jians still alive, and two of them have been crowned kings.

After all, "build" is a good word. If you have land, who doesn't want to build it better?
So parents all have high expectations for their children.

There is a legend about the place called Buye County, which says that a sun will appear here at night.

Of course it is nonsense to say that the sun comes out at night. After all, when the sun comes out it is daytime.

The institute has three explanations for this statement.

The first is that this place belongs to the far east of the Han Dynasty, and it is the easternmost place of the Han Dynasty. People in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period discovered that at the same time when it was still night in the whole earth, it was already dawn in the Buye County, so the Buye County was established in the early Han Dynasty.

The second explanation is that it may be an astronomical phenomenon such as seeing the aurora or the moon shadow.

Third, this "day at night" may refer to something else, not a literal reference.

The Never Sleep County is not really a never-ending night, but some people are really active in the middle of the night.

A body was pushed directly off the cliff.

The person who did all this might have been drunk and didn’t notice that the body didn’t fall from the cliff into the sea.

Instead, it landed on a rock and got caught as it slid down.

During the day, a fisherman passed by here and was surprised to find a person hanging on a small tree on the edge of a cliff.

So they went to rescue people from the path that could be walked down the cliff.

Finally found out that it was a dead person.

But the death was very fresh and someone knew him.

So the matter was reported to Buye County.

It was obvious that the body did not die from falling, but was stabbed to death, and then the blood was spurted out. Then the clothes were taken off and thrown off the cliff. If the clothes had not been taken off, the belt might not have been able to catch the tree branches.

Of course the obvious homicide case had to be investigated, so the clerk went to investigate immediately.

After the visit, the clerk heard a rumor that the deceased named Feng had had a dispute with a local powerful man before his death.

Others did not hear clearly what was being argued.

I just heard that a slightly powerful man named Langlai once said to him, "If you keep pushing, I'll give you face."

The clerk immediately realized that Feng must have had some leverage over Lang Lai, and had blackmailed him many times before being killed.

Having investigated many cases before, he immediately began to track down the case. As expected, this Feng was also a scoundrel who liked to gamble, cheat, and was sometimes a little cunning.

This is considered being robbed by others.

It is obvious that it was Lang Lai who did it.

You should know that it is very difficult to find the real culprit in a murder case. Every year, only one-third of the deaths can be found, one-third of them have clues to find, and another one-third are found.

Even if a hundred people die, at most three or four cases can be solved.

If it can be broken, that would be a benefit.

The clerk now has a direction. As long as he gets the piece of clothing that was taken off, he can prove that the murderer is Lang Lai.

Clothes, where are they?
Why did he take off his clothes?
It was actually not complicated, and the clerk quickly figured it out.

After Lang Lai killed someone, his knife and hands were dirty, so he took off his clothes to wipe the knife and hands.

As long as you find clear blood, it is the first crime scene.

And the clothes should not have been destroyed.

Because Lang Lai handled the corpse very calmly, it must have been a long time since he dealt with it.

Otherwise, the blood on the peak would not be drained but there would be no blood below the cliff.

If the fishermen saw blood and knew it was a dead person, they would not try to rescue him.

The best way to deal with the body after such a long time is to put the clothes back on and throw them away together.

If you don't do this, it will be the same if you throw it away together.

Why not together? What is a person who cleans up the blood immediately after killing someone thinking? If it were in the later world, it would be called destroying the body and destroying the traces. In the Han Dynasty, it is called loving cleanliness.

Murder is so common, but destroying the body is something I have never heard of.

So, why didn't Langlai, who loves cleanliness, carry the body with clothes as a cushion, but instead carried a shirtless body?

The answer is already coming.

Langlai kept the clothes to use, but didn't keep the pants because he had no underwear and only a pair of pants, which were too dirty and had no value in use.

Follow this train of thought.

The clerk soon discovered the clothes.

There is still blood on it, and it is now hanging in Langlai's house. It has been patched and some bloodstains can still be vaguely seen on the clothes.

As long as we get this blood-stained shirt, there is a one in ten chance that we can find someone among those who know Feng to prove that this is Feng's clothes.

As long as we get the clothes, the case will be solved!
The funny thing was that when the clerk tried to get the bloody shirt, he was beaten out and blocked.

The clerk drew his sword and tried to take the clothes.

As a result, several people came and protected Langlai at home.

Finally, a local nobleman named Zhao Jiang appeared on the scene.

Zhao Jiang bluntly said that the petty official was nothing and should get out of here immediately.

This Zhao Jiang has connections in the Zibo Palace, and the local people are afraid of him.

With him protecting us, no one can cause any trouble.

Lang Lai even took out the bloody shirt and said, "Do you think this is evidence of a crime? I'll put the shirt here today and see who dares to admit it."

It’s true, no one dares to admit it.

The clerk took the clothes and ran to ask, but no one dared to say that they were Feng's clothes.

The clerk could tell from the look in their eyes that they were lying.

The clerk was furious when he saw that he had worked in vain for a case that could have been solved soon.

My colleague comforted me: "Just muddle through. Now they are talking about setting up police forces and separating them from the government. I don't know what's going on. You might even lose your job!"

Time passed, and more than a month later, the police station was established.

We didn't recruit enough people at once.

Instead, a person came to lead the newly established police station, and a county magistrate was transferred from the county government.

This way, the county government has someone in the police station.

Then, young men from prominent families in the five counties successfully entered the police station.

Then, fifteen young men from wealthy families in the surrounding villages joined the police station.

The police station is still recruiting people, but the higher-ups still need to assign people down, so they will stop once these twenty positions are filled.

The work instruction documents sent down told them what to do.

But they won’t investigate the case.

So, three minor clerks from the county government were summoned again.

The twenty or so people started working.

Each of these people is a local noble family. Although the people assigned by higher-ups have not arrived yet and their fighting capacity is not high, no one dares to mess with these people here.

They managed the entire county according to the orders in the documents and even went to various townships. Anyone who heard them had no choice but to do as they were told.

One day, a young man sighed, "What's the point of these jobs? The documents say that we should strictly investigate major cases, but no one here can do anything. We go out to look for money every day. The weather is getting warmer, but people are just sitting around doing nothing."

The clerk thought to himself, "I'm investigating a murder case and I've almost finished the investigation."

"But there were people blocking the road, so we couldn't catch them."

When the young master heard this, he was very excited: "This is outrageous! See? I am a policeman, a crime fighter! Can't I arrest people?"

"Brothers, let's go!"

Lang Lai was arrested that day.

By the time Zhao Jiang rushed over, it was too late.

After Lang Lai was caught, he confessed immediately.

After this matter was explained, everyone in the room was stunned.

Soon, Zhao Jiang came to the police station to demand the release of the person, and said that even the county magistrate did not dare to hold him back.

The captain of the police station said, "County magistrate? Not to mention you, even if the Prince of Zichuan comes, get out of here!"

"I'm telling you, it's better if what Lang Lai confessed is false. If it is true, not to mention you, even if it's Prince Zichuan who's behind it, he will be sent to Chang'an and shot."

What is the identity of the captain? He is the person appointed by Huo Hai. The person appointed by Huo Hai was the first to come down.

They have only one task, which is to embody the value of this system.

Zhao Jiang was used to being arrogant, and immediately pointed at his nose and said, "I'll give you face..."

The captain drew his knife and chopped off Zhao Jiang's right hand.

Zhao Jiang screamed, and the captain spoke: "Notify the hospital staff to come and stitch him up, don't let him bleed to death."

The people from the clinic were all dumbfounded. How could they have sewn this before?
Although I am a new medical graduate, I don't have this kind of experience.

The captain also taught him: "Pinch the blood vessel with forceps, pull it out vigorously, and then tie a knot, and the bleeding will stop."

He was a military man and was only familiar with military first aid techniques, so he didn't care about these things.

Zhao Jiang dared to point at me, he was looking for death.

He represents the majesty of the imperial court and the dignity of the Han Dynasty. If he moves, he will die.

Anyone who points a finger at him will be killed, except his superior.

If he hadn't been kept to investigate the case, more than just his hands would have been chopped off.

The Minister of Agriculture has explained that severe punishments are needed in times of chaos. There are too many crimes now, so they must be severely cracked down. We must arrest some, kill some, and win over some, and severely strike a blow to the arrogance of local forces. Those who are unwilling to work for the police will all be dispersed, and even the earthworms will be killed upright.

Zhao Jiang is a typical example.

Soon, people were sent from above. Originally, they wanted to go to big cities first and would not go to Buye County.

Who caused such a big case to happen here?
Whether it was people appointed by Liu Che, people appointed by Huo Hai, retired soldiers assigned by quotas, or top students who had just graduated from their majors, they all arrived.

Soon, a major case was uncovered in Buye County.

Someone in Buye County secretly sailed a boat to deliver goods to Weiman North Korea!

This is the easternmost part of the Han Dynasty and very close to Weiman Joseon.

You only need a small boat to get there.

The person who delivered the goods was Zhao Jiang.

One day, Feng discovered that there were people loading and unloading goods in the natural bay in Buye County where ships could dock. They usually said they were transporting fish, and no one doubted it, after all, there were so many fishermen nearby.

As a result, Feng accidentally heard two freight workers who were peeing saying that they were loading warm clothes and iron.

These things are worthless to the Han people.

If it is shipped to Weiman Joseon, the other party will pay twenty times the price to buy it!

Make a fortune from smuggling!

Feng was originally a local gangster. When he learned that Lang was doing this, he threatened to get benefits.

No one else dares to threaten Lang Lai.

Feng himself has some power, so he dares to make threats.

How could he know that it was Zhao Jiang behind this?

After all, Zhao Jiang was a man who didn't even take the county magistrate seriously. After Feng threatened him twice in a row, he signaled Lang to kill him.

This is how the following events happened.

The captain was not satisfied with the findings.

Who is Zhao Jiang? How dare he ship goods to Weiman Joseon?

No one behind to pave the way?
Keep checking.

A county police officer directly confronted the Zibo Palace!
Logically, Prince Zichuan had the final say on matters within his territory. In the past, even if he killed people indiscriminately, it would be fine as long as he didn't let the court know.

But now there are police officers in every county and city under his jurisdiction, which is already a headache.

Want to resist.

As a result, police forces from all counties in Zibo began to be mobilized here.

More than ten people are drawn from a county, which is not a lot, only a few hundred in total.

But among them are 200 retired veterans and dozens of captains.

These captains were at least sergeants or sergeants before retiring, and... they are equipped with revolvers specially issued to police officers!
This group of people directly sealed off the Zibo Palace and entered the palace to investigate.

Once the gun was drawn, no one dared to stop it.

Everyone knows that things have changed.

Now even the Prince of Zibo has no power to speak!

The Donglai police officer directly told Prince Zichuan: "You are a member of the royal family. If you want to make money, you should go to Chang'an to make money, or go to the border. If you are the one who aids the enemy, don't even think about running away."

Prince Zichuan's face turned green.

King Liu Jian of Zibo was truly wronged, he really didn't know any of this.

What is Wei Man Joseon? How much money does it have? He, the King of Zichuan, Liu Jian, occupies the best, largest and most densely populated area in the Han Dynasty. Only Zhao can compare with him, and even Qi is not as good as him.

He smuggled goods to Wei Man Joseon?

Soon everything was found out, and it was the Zibo State that was involved.

This person was not sent to Chang'an for execution or a second investigation.

Instead, the public trial was held directly in the county town of Donglai!

After all the evidence and witnesses were laid out, they were escorted to Chang'an.

The Judiciary Police also announced on the spot: "This major case of treason will be sent to Chang'an for retrial. The other 35 major cases discovered recently will be shot directly after trial!"

"Fortunately they caught up. They didn't need to be beheaded. The high-level execution method of shooting was used on them."

After these 35 people were shot, the police in various places faced less resistance in investigating the case.

Even the Prince of Zichuan couldn’t be stopped, so who else could stop him?

Even Prince Zibo didn't have time to take care of what happened next. He just took a carriage and moved his belongings to Chang'an.

With the establishment of the police, it would be difficult for him to make money by relying on his power, so he might as well go to Chang'an. Also, if such a big case occurred, he would have to apologize to Liu Che.

What a coincidence! Before anyone even set out, the army to attack Weiman Joseon had already gathered in Zibo.

Originally, the army was going to head to Qiancheng, a little further north, to gather and set off from the Navy's northern base.

As a result of this incident, the navy assembled directly off the coast of Buye County!
The sight of the large warships, which were hundreds of meters long, made the fishermen's scalps tingle.

The large warships, which were dozens of meters long, were covered with cannons, and the muzzles looked terrifying in the sun.

The navy even used the excuse of firing a new cannon to test out any problems, but in reality it was just for the locals to see.

After that round of artillery fire, given the abundant fish resources in this sea area, all the nearby fishing boats went out to sea three times, but still couldn't catch all the fish that were killed!
"Oh my goodness, they just discovered the smuggling and the army was dispatched right after!"

"You can't mess with these policemen. They can contact the imperial court directly."

"You just found out? Do you think the official document is fake? Wasn't it announced a long time ago?"

There have been no violent institutions in various places for a long time. For a long time, there have been some problems that everyone knows about, but no one can solve them.

Now that the new organization has been established and there is a shortage of staff, everyone wants to make achievements and get promoted.

A lot of things were found out.

Some people do things that really deserve execution by firing squad.

In just a few months, countless murder cases were uncovered!
Dahan Daily, Chang'an Daily and other local newspapers are also frantically following up and reporting on the results of the investigation.

Only then did everyone realize that there had been so many murders and robberies in the past year alone.

One thing after another.

The more people watch, the more they support these new police officers.

Although many of them are local wealthy families and they usually get along well with each other, at least they don't kill people indiscriminately or steal or rob people, right?
After public security was improved, some people with quick minds started to do business directly.

Some people even carried small commodities such as sewing needles and thread and quickly doubled their wealth!
After many problems have been solved, the deterrent effect will be sufficient and public security will naturally improve.

The wealthy families who joined the police did not become arrogant in a short period of time, because their colleagues were more experienced, more capable of fighting, and more ruthless than them.

It shocked them.

This process will worsen over at least 20 to 30 years.

In the past twenty or thirty years, these soldiers have been elite soldiers who have destroyed nations! They can definitely intimidate those local nobles.

And in twenty or thirty years... the formal examination system will be in place. By then, the Han court will have firmly established power in the countryside, and it will be time to clean up the illegal and more complex forces.

Naturally, they are the law-abiding wealthy families.

Even if something bad happens during this period, it should be a very rare case and will never get worse.

The timing of all this was calculated.

As time goes by, more and more police officers are deployed in various places.

Once the staff is fully staffed, there is more that can be done.

The tax inspection has begun.

The fire police who had received special training began to set up fire-fighting teams in local areas and recruit young and strong people to join.

These non-firefighters certainly don't have as high a salary as firefighters, but the salaries in various places are not that high anyway. Although the training of firefighters is hard, at least they have enough food, drink and money to earn.

It was easy to recruit a lot of people.

The warships of the Han Dynasty's North and South Navy, which had only been in service for three years, began to be retired and replaced with new ships. The old ships were taken over by the water police.

The marine police did not take any precautions and only inspected merchant ships that they considered to be problematic.

The amount of tax evasion discovered by the Marine Police in the first two months alone is enough to pay the annual salary of 120,000 police officers...

The extra money is all for generating income.

However, the water police do not just check taxes. The boats also follow the mounted police to eliminate bandit dens in the waters.

Because Huo Hai said that severe punishments should be used in troubled times to set an example, this kind of bandit nest was directly executed by cannon fire.

The navy has hardly fought any wars and has hardly used its cannons, but the water police have become addicted to firing them.

In half a year, the water police and mounted police wiped out more than 700 bandit dens throughout the Han Dynasty.

There was even a case where the mounted police received intelligence and rushed to the bandit’s lair.

All the bandits in the den: "What bandits? I've never heard of them."

"They? They can't speak Chinese."

"Hello, officer. We are good people. We are barbarians. We are not gangsters!"

"Ah? Wuxi Man is next to Yelang and we are in Wancheng? Sir, listen to us, our ancestors swam here!"

This kind of thing was too common in the past, and now there is no way to pursue the past.

So the local police could only tell them to behave themselves.

These barbarians are extremely smart. I heard that they all learned to speak Chinese in just three months, and each one speaks it more fluently than the other.

I'm going to be a barbarian all my life.

Fortunately, there is a policy now that allows barbarians to be directly registered as Han people. However, they are often mocked by other Han people as "you barbarian", but they dare not talk back. If there are really barbarians coming to the city, no one will mock them.

Who doesn’t know who?

All of a sudden, many barbarians, either from mountain villages or tribes, emerged from all over the Han Dynasty.

Roads everywhere suddenly became unobstructed, and some people even dared to walk to the next county to find jobs.

Even though the Han people had lived a good life for several years, they never thought that life could be this good.

Spring came and went, and Huo Hai had just turned twenty-five.

The second child, Huo Xuan, was born, Liu Xijun's child.

No need to ask, everyone knows why Huo Hai's children are named like this. Huo Yan is Yan of Emperor Yan, Huo Xuan is Xuan of Xuanyuan, and the next child will be named Huo Li or Huo You? It's all decided.

And recently Huo Hai has become busy.

Wei Man Joseon is more difficult to deal with than imagined.

Liu Che did not want to expand the use of firearms to too many troops, and the offensive in Wiman Joseon was more than ten times more difficult to deal with than imagined, so the progress of the offensive in Wiman Joseon was not particularly fast, and there were still four major cities that had not been captured.

After fighting for half a year, the cold winter arrived.

Now that spring has arrived, it’s time to take it all down in one go.
