The Han army was amazed at the peace and stability of Xia State-owned Army, and asked about many novel situations. Under Zhao Xingde's instruction, Jin Changtai simply explained to them in detail each of their facilities.

"After the first group of people arrived here, they immediately planned this prison area." Jin Changtai smiled and introduced to the Han general. When he pointed to a vacant land, there had been a mountain collapse in the past. The terrain was undulating, and the ground was covered with sharp gravel. Five or six circles were drawn with white lines. "The people who committed the matter did not need to be taken care of, and they were in jail in this vacant land. They endured the pain of sun and rain." He said with a hint of pride, "Our dynasty advocates the rule of law. Whenever the territory is expanded and the military and civilians live in thatched huts, the first thing they need to build is a court and a prison."

"Don't the prisoner run away and cause trouble?" someone asked.

Jin Changtai shook his head and said with a smile: "Escape has not happened yet." Wang Hengzhi shook his head slightly. The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side has built a wall. Where can he escape? Besides, even if he escapes, there are chaotic times outside and life is as cheap as grass. It is better to draw a prison in the Xia State Camp. In broad daylight, there is no need to be abused. On the open space on the side of the "prison", there are three wooden stakes standing up, and rough ghost masks hung on the wooden stakes. Wang Hengzhi frowned and asked, "Is this a shaman sacrifice?" Jin Changtai smiled silently and said, "No, this is the court for interrogating prisoners."

"Prince Hall?"

"Yes," Jin Changtai smiled, "My camp is new and dare not make other rules at will, so he asked the people of high moral character to discuss various crimes and punishments in Liaodong first, and gather them into a book called the "Liaodong Customary Law". After that, as long as there is a suspicion of committing crimes, seven good people can be drawn at will, and then punished according to the "Liaodong Customary Law", such as killers die, thieves chop their hands, traitors are castrated, and those who are extremely evil are lit. Although they are somewhat different from the original laws of our dynasty, they finally won the hearts of the people. Because the power of the rule of law was returned to the people, there were only woodcut judges in front of the hall and the sergeants were responsible for maintaining order."

"Is that right?" Wang Hengzhi smiled slightly, "I thought the Xia Dynasty regarded itself as the country, and I thought that our Liaodong people were too barbaric."

"Where, where," Jin Changtai waved his hand, "One place is a place of water and land to nourish one person, and the other people have a custom." He paused and smiled, "This punishment is just a pair of shoes, and local customs are feet, so there is no reason to cut feet and fit shoes. Not only that, we also record every example of trial in detail. When the case is judged in the future, if it were not for the referendum of all the people here, the conviction must not be different from the past to show justice."

"Carved wood as officials, and painted land as prisons, and the rule of the three generations is nothing more than that." "That's right, it's right."

The generals of the Han army nodded one after another. For the Han people in the Liaodong, relying on the Xia Kingdom in the south or the Song Kingdom was always a dilemma. Although the Song Kingdom was said to be rich, the various red tape were very different from those in Liaodong, and they even regarded it as barbarians. The Xia Kingdom was in a strong system, and the local military government was strong, and the government was adapted to the local conditions. Liaodong returned to the Xia Kingdom. The Han army generals above remained in power, and the people below lived a habit. Therefore, although the Han people were close to the Song Kingdom, their hearts were closer to the Xia Kingdom, so they all made allies with the Xia Kingdom.

Zhao Xingde frowned. Although he felt that these local punishments in Liaodong were a bit cruel, they were better than those who were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The people all supported it. The system of Xia State, except for the crimes involving rebellion, treason, spy, and tax evasion, the punishment of ordinary crimes, respected the local habits and was convicted by local good people. Even the local government could not interfere. At this time, centurion Ma Rui sent someone to report military information, and Zhao Xingde sued Wang Heng and went back to deal with some military and political affairs first. Jin Changtai stayed in place and explained the Xia State system to the Han army generals with serene satisfaction.

"The criminals are treacherous and some things are ambiguous. Will the people who are randomly drawn out wrongly accuse the good people?" someone asked.

Jin Changtai did not answer him directly, smiled slightly, pointed to the woodcut official and said, "These judges also tried dozens of cases. During the trial, the complainants and the defendants had their own opinions and argued with each other. Finally, the seven good people were judged, and the other people could watch. So far, no people said that we were dealing with injustice." He smiled and said, "There was nothing at all, so where did the dust be caused."

Wang Heng nodded straight, secretly wrote down the system, and prepared to handle it after going back. "There is nothing, where can dust be caused?" In a sentence, the key point in the right way is that no punishment or conviction has to do with the Xia court. Even if the people complain and dissatisfied, they cannot cause trouble for the Xia court. On the contrary, when the good people in charge of the judgment obviously deal with unfairness, the court can refer to other systems to interfere and use the method of referendum to the people.

Correct and fulfill the name of justice. Thinking of this, Wang Hengzhi was puzzled again. This good method has been passed down in the Xia Kingdom for a hundred years. Why is Guandong still not used? After thinking for a moment, Wang Hengzhi cursed himself in his heart, and he was really demented. If Guandong changed to this system, the masters in the hall would become woodcuts, from the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and from the prefecture and county government offices. When encountering cases, the reasons for receiving filial piety are much less. Will everyone drink the northwest wind?

He pondered about the gains and losses in this place alone, and suddenly heard the people next to him making a marvelous sound. He saw dozens of large pots placed flat on the ground, each of which could serve hundreds of people for meals. Unfortunately, most of them seemed to have not been used for a long time, and a lot of dust accumulated at the bottom of the pot, and even tender green grass emerged.

"When we first built a mountain village, we used these large pots to make rice. It was not until more than a month ago that each family had split up their own food." Jin Changtai smiled. After the Han generals were amazed, they followed him to the fields. Most of the men participated in heavy work such as logging, mining, ironwork, and burning charcoal under the leadership of the sergeant. At this time, most of the women who stayed in the field to weed and fertilize. In addition to farming, they also cooked, planted vegetables, fed pigs, picked herbs, and made fermented wool. In addition to farming, they also cooked, planted vegetables, fed pigs, picked herbs, and made wool with nitrate.

, he was busy all day long, and some women even took care of the sheep in the camp. The additional income of the sergeant mainly came from the logging and iron smelting side. Under the guidance of Zhao Xingde, the iron smelting ground has been continuously expanded and can now refine more than 3,000 kilograms of iron every day. For every kilogram of good iron, it can be sold for fifty cents in the Central Plains, or exchanged for 5 liters of grain. The price of the logging side and the Ordnance Department has not yet been negotiated, but Li Sihai promised to fight for the 8th Battalion with all his strength.

The farmer who moved to reclaim land was a arduous journey. Xia State Camp suspended the 30% annual income of the soldiers from the Yin households. Unless the necessary items were necessary, the farmers' income belonged to them. Therefore, these women were very concerned about their own vegetable gardens, fields, and production.

Jin Changtai smiled and said, "Be careful. If the crops are trampled on, it will be amazing for the aunts to splash." As he said that, he was the first to walk in the ridge of the field. The Han generals were not concerned about these things. Seeing his cautious actions, he followed the local customs, fearing that they would trample on the crops.

Jin Changtai was about to continue introducing the Xia country's field system to the Han army generals, but suddenly Liu Zheng ran over from the Central Army tent. According to military rules, there was no urgent matter in the camp, and Jin Changtai's face suddenly sank. Liu Zheng ran to Jin Changtai, without any rest, and said, "Sima Jin, General Zhao has an order, everyone will go back to discuss matters." He looked at Wang Hengzhi and others with strange faces, and said, "The Goryeo people in Baozhou have cut off our way to log and go to sea. General Zhao asked you to discuss countermeasures together."

Wang Hengzhi and the Han generals looked at each other, hurriedly followed Jin Changtai to Zhao Xingde's camp, and had already hung up a large map of Liaodong. Zhao Xingde was facing his back to the tent door, making a big red cross in Baozhou, which was controlling the Yalu River to go out to sea. He heard the sound behind him and turned around and smiled: "The Goryeo people overestimated their abilities and dared to cut off the passage of our camp from the Yalu River to sea. It seems that it is necessary to punish them."

"Punishment?" Wang Heng thought in his heart that Zhao Xingde was a little arrogant. Baozhou was originally an important city for the coastal defense of the Liao Kingdom. Since the rise of the Jurchens, the Liao people have shrunk their power. The Goryeo took advantage of the opportunity to drive the remaining Liao soldiers out of Baozhou, but also garrisoned 3,000 troops there, which seemed to occupy the area east of the Yalu River. The Liao people actually followed the flow and thought that instead of leaving this place for the Jin Kingdom, it would be better to give it to the Goryeo. It is said that the Liao generals who evacuated the last knocked out from the Goryeo people.

After cheating thousands of stones of grain, he set sail and handed over the complete Baozhou city defense to Goryeo. The Goryeo army stationed in Baozhou had some strength and was backed by the mother country. Therefore, although the Han army coveted Baozhou, it had no action. Zhao Xingde's command was less than 1,000 people, and although he had driven many people, he did not make a large-scale expansion. Even if he rushed to use tens of thousands of Dingzhuang to siege Baozhou, he was afraid that the Goryeo army in the city would not die, and his morale would collapse.

He coughed and said in a deep voice: "General Zhao, the matter is prioritized. The leader of the alliance is about to revive the state in Suzhou. We must attack and open the state as soon as possible to attract the attention of the Liao people. Can we let go of the matter in Baozhou first?"

Zhao Xingde smiled, but said firmly: "No." He looked at the Han generals around him and explained, "This passage for logging and going out to sea is extremely important to our army. It is already June. If you drag it down, the river will freeze in autumn. It will take a year to delay it. I can't watch the people drink the northwest wind." He smiled with his hands, and his expression on his face was no different from those Han camp leaders who occupied the mountains and became kings.

"But, Baozhou's city is solid, how can it be conquered in a short time?" Wang Heng looked angry, "We cannot delay the battle in Kaizhou because of small losses."
