Chapter 370: Lishan Disbanded, Imperial Grace Abounds

The mausoleum is no longer being built?

Originally thinking someone was issuing a fake edict,

the person in charge of Lishan even had the soldier who delivered the edict temporarily placed under house arrest.

But when he saw the Prince's special seal and the Emperor's special imperial seal on the edict,

he knew that this was undoubtedly true news.

In all of Great Qin, no one dared to act so recklessly and issue a fake edict; that was a crime punishable by total extermination!

"Little brother, I apologize for the offense."

"After all, this news is truly too shocking."

The person in charge of Lishan released the little soldier.

The soldier then took a Great Qin Daily from his bosom and handed it over.

The person in charge of Lishan took the newspaper and began to read it carefully.

These were all pieces of information issued by the imperial court.

Disbanding the corvée laborers and convicts of the world!

Breaking them up and letting them scatter across all parts of Great Qin to live and farm.

From now on, there would be no more remnants of the six states!

Everyone is of the same root and origin, all subjects of Great Qin, descendants of Yan and Huang!

The construction of the Epang Palace, the Great Wall, the Lishan Mausoleum, and the Qin Imperial Roads were collectively known as the Four Great Projects of Great Qin!

But after today, the construction of these four projects would be discussed at a later date!

The little soldier left Lishan to return and report the mission.

The person in charge of Lishan summoned a group of subordinates to discuss the matter.

When the soldiers stationed at Lishan learned that the seven hundred thousand convicts were all to be disbanded,

they all looked at the person in charge of Lishan with disbelief.

At that moment, their first thought was that this person was going to rebel!

The person in charge of Lishan could only smile bitterly and didn't waste his breath explaining.

Instead, he directly took out the edict and the Great Qin Daily for everyone to see.

After reading the edict and the Great Qin Daily, the soldiers were silent for a long time.

It wasn't until much later that a soldier spoke.

"So, all the corvée laborers and convicts are being disbanded."

"Then are the Four Great Projects of Great Qin still being built?"

Everyone was puzzled; this news was truly too unbelievable.

A soldier hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Is His Majesty the Emperor thinking of having us soldiers build them?"

"How is that possible? If the soldiers go to build the projects, then who will protect the country?"

"Don't guess blindly; this says to disband, it doesn't say to let soldiers build the projects."

"It also says here that the matter of building the projects will be discussed later."

"We just need to obey orders."

"There should be other arrangements that we don't know about yet."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have disbanded everyone."

The soldiers discussed, but there was no conclusion.

They couldn't figure out at all why the higher-ups had issued such an order.

"Take action!"

"Summon all the convicts, announce the news, and remember not to cause chaos."

"All convicts must be registered; we need to know where they are being assigned so we can find them if needed."

"And the locations assigned to them cannot be changed at will; those with families should be arranged to go home!"

The person in charge of Lishan knew that this matter was a mystery.
