Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

  Chapter 20 Voluntary Subjugation!

  When everyone saw the mudstone being extracted from the bamboo tube, their eyes widened.

   "What's going on here? How can the mud and rocks in the ground come out by themselves?"

   "Is there a monster underground helping?"

   "Does your lord have the ability to summon ghosts and gods?"

   "What kind of method is this? Why can't I see it, there is obviously no spiritual power fluctuation!" Bai Liangpu and Yang Shan were both surprised.

  In this world, there are indeed some extraordinary means to accomplish this kind of thing. But those are all special talents, those with advanced cultivation bases.

  In front of them, Zhang Beichen was able to send the mud and rocks from the ground to the ground without relying on any spiritual power, which was hard for them to understand.

  The excavation is still going on, and the drilling speed is very fast through the leverage device and the human impact drill!

   What Zhang Beichen said was conservative. In fact, it doesn’t take two hours at all.

   After just one hour, the mud and rocks pulled out from the ground became more and more wetter, and even mud appeared!

   At this time, the length of the buried bamboo tubes was nearly 600 feet!

  Combining the depth of ground excavation, the excavation depth is already close to the groundwater layer!

  Everyone looked at the bottom of the well until a guard exclaimed: "Water is coming out! There is muddy water!"

  On the bamboo tube, muddy water was gushing out. The groundwater had been pumped out, and now it was still mixed with mud.

  As the water gushes out continuously, the well water becomes clearer and clearer.

   "The water is really coming out!" The guards were very excited, and the soldiers also exclaimed: "Is this well seven or eight hundred feet deep? How long did it take us to get it out?"

   "It's water, there really is water!" Seeing water coming out of the bamboo tube, Yu Yong and the others burst into tears. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand their feelings, and they are struggling to survive in this barren land.

  Every year, in order to grab water, they have to risk their lives to fight with human weapons. They were supposed to be old enough to live their lives, but they became murderers for the sake of water!

  If they could have hit the water a few years earlier, why did they come here?

  The people cheered even more: "Water is coming out, water is coming out of the well!"

   "Master Zhang is mighty!"

   "Master Zhang is really a man of gods. I heard that a powerful person can command ghosts and gods. His Excellency must have ordered ghosts and gods to make well water for us!"

   "There is water, we finally have another well in Baiyang County!"

  There were cheers everywhere, and even the prisoners who were **** and looked unhappy just now were cheering and crying.

   "Brother, how...how did he do this?" Bai Liangju was dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out why a small bamboo tube, but a well the size of a bowl, could penetrate 800 feet into the ground and get water out!

   "You ask me, how do I know?" Bai Liangpu was also full of depression.

   If drilling a well was so easy, they would have done it long ago!

  He glanced around, and now even the arrested prisoners were chanting Zhang Beichen's name.

   "Where did this kid come from? He has such means!" Bai Liangpu cursed inwardly. He knew that as long as Zhang Beichen could solve the problem of drinking water for the people, in the hearts of the residents of Baiyang County, he would be a lifesaver!

  Zhang Beichen's prestige will be greatly improved, and no one will oppose him then!

  Yang Shan looked at the well water with a resentful expression. It is a good thing for the people of Baiyang County to get well water, but it is not good for him!

  Because this well is not his!

   "Your Excellency, Che Yang admires you!" Che Yang clasped his hands.

  Liu Wen, A Da and others directly bowed and said: "Your Excellency is mighty, digging a well for the common people has immeasurable merit!"

Zhang Beichen looked at Yu Yong and the others, and asked, "Now the county has fulfilled its promise and dug out the well water. After that, the county will order people to continue digging wells with this method, so that everyone in Baiyang County can Drink water, use water. What else do you have to say?"

  Yu Yong stretched out his hand, took a mouthful of well water, and drank it in one gulp, as did everyone else.

   "This is our fate!" Yu Yong said with deep emotion, then turned around and knelt down towards Zhang Beichen.

  He said: "My lord digs a well for the people, and I will be worshiped by the old man!"

   As he spoke, he bowed his head, and so did the others.

  Zhang Beichen said: "This is what I should do. You should not fight with weapons, let alone kill people!"

   "In Qin State, more than twice as many people die from fighting with weapons every year than on the battlefield! If everyone is like this, how can the people of Qin survive, and how can the State of Qin survive?"

   Hearing his words, the veterans were ashamed.

   "I waited too recklessly!"

   "Hey, if Mr. Zhang came to Baiyang County a few years ago, why did he end up here?"

  Yu Yong took a deep breath, and then with firm eyes, he turned his head to look at the crowd and said, "Old fellows, this time we violated the law!"

   "Now Master Zhang has solved the problem of draft and water for our descendants, why should we make things difficult for Master Zhang?"

  "Since you have already committed a capital crime, why don't you settle it yourself? Let us use our lives to legislate for Mr. Zhang and the coercion of the people! Are you afraid?"

  Hearing his words, none of the veterans showed any fear, but said: "We are Qin people, as Qin soldiers, what should we be afraid of?"

  They shouted to the surrounding people: "Everyone, remember, from now on, you must strictly abide by the law and take us as a warning!"

  After speaking, Yu Yong slammed his head against a stone and died immediately.

  The same is true for other veterans, and all felons sentenced to death will be extinct here!

   Seeing such a scene, Zhang Beichen couldn't help feeling sorry, "Although they violated the law, they are all good men. Let's bury them generously!"

  The people are silent, and the veterans and others are very prestigious. If Zhang Beichen had killed them before, they would definitely not follow him.

   Now, Zhang Beichen drilled well water for them, and the veterans voluntarily died for Fa-rectification, and everyone chose to mourn in silence.

  At this time, Zhang Beichen's aura suddenly rose sharply, and the phantom of the black bird appeared again, and it dropped a ray of pure heaven and earth spiritual energy to land on Zhang Beichen.

  Zhang Beichen regained all the energy he lost just now, and not only that, the air pockets in his body actually condensed into a liquid state.

  His cultivation has reached the second level!

   "Heaven and earth resonate again!" Hu Cheng looked at Zhang Beichen, and couldn't help being envious in his heart.

   "I call myself a genius, and it took me three years to practice martial arts from the first stage to the second stage! But he, in just one month, went directly from the early stage of the first stage to the early stage of the second stage!"

   "However, if you think about it carefully, his practice is not easier than mine. If he hadn't dug a deep well to fetch water today, he would have been beaten to death by breaking the law today! This person is indeed a genius!"

   "Damn it, hate it!" Bai Liangpu, Bai Liangju, Yang Shan and others all cursed in their hearts. They deliberately performed this play together in order to plot against Zhang Beichen.

   For this, they also killed some people. I thought that Zhang Beichen could "break the law", but I didn't expect that the other party would use this method to resolve it. Not only did the legalist practice improve, but he also gained a huge reputation!

  From now on, in Baiyang County, no one will dare to violate Zhang Beichen's laws easily! His position as county magistrate is considered secure!

  Zhang Beichen ordered the guards to clean up the corpses of the veterans. The common people and thousands of prisoners are still waiting for his follow-up trial.

  Bai Liangju asked: "Master Zhang, I know that your law enforcement is strict. Do you still want to execute all the people who came forward?"

  Zhang Beichen glanced at him and said, "Of course not, crimes vary in severity. Repeat murderers have already been punished."

  He looked at the many prisoners, who were anxiously waiting for his punishment.

  Zhang Beichen pronounced the sentence: "Most of you are accomplices, but there are also wounders. The county announced that all ordinary prisoners will be sentenced to three to five years of hard labor depending on the degree of wounding!"

"Minor offenders, accomplices, are sentenced to six months to one year of hard labor. During the hard labor, the county government will pay for your board and lodging, and you can visit home once a month. If you behave well, you can be released early. If you commit another crime , the crime will be increased!"

   "All those sentenced to hard labor will be assigned to dig wells, build canals and reservoirs for Baiyang County! Did you hear that?"

  The prisoners were worried at first, but they were relieved when they heard Zhang Beichen's punishment. Although it is a labor labor, it is not difficult for them to accept that digging wells and repairing reservoirs and canals for the county will be used by themselves.

   And it also includes board and lodging, and there is a chance to go back every month to take care of the family, which is much better than they imagined.

  Everyone shouted: "I heard it, my lord."

   "Despicable!" Bai Liangpu and Yang Shanfei were about to explode with rage. You must know that the people who participated in the fighting were all their clansmen, slaves and tenants.

  Thousands of people, Zhang Beichen directly turned these thousands of people into his free labor force, these people have not complained yet, this will be a heavy blow to the Baiyang family!

   "My lord, how can we have so much food?" Liu Wen reminded Zhang Beichen in a low voice, this kind of large-scale project can't be done by just one person, and it will take several years to feed thousands of people. How can there be so much food?

   "Of course he has!" A voice suddenly sounded, the voice was clear and there was a hint of coercion.

   Everyone looked back, only to see a person galloping forward on a white horse. On the white horse was a woman in a black and red robe. She was tall and tall with a cold and arrogant face, and she was also wearing gorgeous accessories. She gallops her horse, her robe flutters in the wind, she is so heroic!

   Seeing her face, Bai Liangpu, Yang Shan and the others were startled, and quickly fell to their knees.

   Che Yang also brought a group of soldiers to kneel down on the ground, shouting: "See you, Your Majesty!"
