From the county town of Lintan in Taozhou to the east, about fifty miles of road, is the new Hongcheng.
The official road winds in the valley on the north bank of the Tao River, connecting the two cities.
Xinhongcheng is located between the county seat of Lintan in Taozhou and the county seat of Minzhou in the past, and the Tao River goes around a large circle to the southeast near Xinhong.
From Weizhou along the Tao River South, you can directly take it through Xinhong to Lintan here, and you don't even need to go through Minxian.
If you go to Minxian County, you must pass through here, and even Minxian County to Weizhou Longxi, you must also pass through here.
It is precisely because of this unique geography that Xinhongcheng used to be a relatively important township in Taozhou.
Zhang Chaozhen guards Taozhou, the four states are one, Taozhou develops border trade, Xinhongcheng is on the way for Han merchants to come to Taozhou Jiangxin City, and it is becoming more and more prosperous and lively.
Because it is located in the center of Tao, Min and Wei, and it is still a traffic artery, Zhang Chao has already set up a hussar mansion here, stationed 1,000 soldiers, and built more forts around it, and placed the families of the soldiers, and lived in one Tunzhuang.
After the expansion and reinforcement of Xinhongcheng, it is much larger than the original, and is called a new city by immigrants, also called a new town.
Xinhong Xiangji and Xinhong Hussar Mansion are together, but they are separated.
One is a township set, and the other is a military town fort.
The township market is also called Hongcheng or the old Hongcheng, and the military government is called the new Hongcheng or Xincheng.
The old city has a circumference of about two miles, but the new city has a circumference of eight miles, which is not smaller than Lintan City, and there are even inner and outer cities in it.
Although it is relatively empty now, it will slowly add barracks, treasury and so on in the future, and become an important fortress city in Longxi.
Although the new city is larger, only the government soldiers can enter and exit.
Ordinary people rushed to the old urban and rural markets less than two miles away from the new city.
The new town is stronger and grander, while the old town is livelier.
On the inner street of the East Gate in the old city, there is a shop, which has been doing a lot of business recently.
In a shop in the front and back yard of a rammed thatched roof, there is an old man with a girl and two mastiffs.
The shop opened by this old man is not an ordinary business, they only do one thing, which is thorns.
Thorns are similar to tattoos, also known as ink punishment.
Ordinary criminals and slaves will be remembered with a dark face.
In the past, the face was carved directly on the face with a knife, and then coated with charcoal to keep the characters forever.
It's just that it slowed down to acupuncture, which made the prisoner suffer less and died unexpectedly.
The manager of the small shop is surnamed Wang, but everyone here calls him Dutou, and the young girl is his granddaughter, who was adopted by him since he was a child, and he doesn't know what his original surname is, everyone usually calls him Dui.
The usual business of the head is average, and in the past, there were mixed Hu and Han here, and there were very few prisoners who were stabbed, and occasionally there were criminal soldiers who were distributed, and they had already been stabbed.
The locals used a simpler way for slaves, burning red iron and branding marks directly on their hands and foreheads, as simple as branding cattle and horses.
He often doesn't get a few spurs of business a year, so he usually does something else.
Bone-setting massage, bone grafting, acupuncture cupping, by the way, selling some dog skin plasters and the like, he can even prescribe medicine to treat diseases, and can also deliver cattle and horses, in short, any mess can be crisper, and life is like this.
Recently, however, he had re-emerged his set of black-faced needles.
Last time, Zhang Yuanjun captured many Tuyuhun prisoners, and then sold all these people into slavery, and more than 20,000 slaves were sold to government soldiers.
The 1,000 soldiers of the Hussars in the new city bought back more than 3,000 slaves.
Zhang issued a decree that stipulated many rules on how to treat slaves, such as not abusing them.
If the slave is abused, it will be punished by the government, and if the slave is killed without reason, the punishment is very high.
There are many specific regulations, among which the one related to the head is that every slave must be tattooed and must not be branded at will.
It is also forbidden to suffocate the ink with a knife without permission, and it must be unified with stabs.
In order to distinguish it from the prisoners who are matched with the stabs, the Taozhou government even stipulates the specific style of the stabs.
For example, when they commit theft, their ink thorn is behind the ear, and they stab a thief word.
The convict of the robbery will be tattooed with the word robbery.
The sins of vain and sin are pierced on the forehead, and the words pierced are arranged in a square.
And in the case of rods, the words of the thorn are arranged in a circle. and those who have committed felonies, stabbed in the face.
The cheeks, the corners of the forehead, and the back of the ears are all criminals, and the characters tattooed are their crimes, and the arrangement and shape of the characters can also be seen to be severe.
Zhang Chao ordered that all slaves should be distinguished from the criminals' tattoos.
Slaves were to be tattooed directly behind their necks, not behind their foreheads and ears.
If the slave escapes and is captured, he is tattooed on his arm.

The first time he was stabbed in the right arm, the second time he was stabbed in the left arm, the third time he was stabbed on the right side of the neck, and the fourth time he was stabbed on the left side of the neck.
If you run away for the fifth time, you will be put to death if you are caught.
The position, size, color, shape of the arrangement, and the content of the characters are all strictly regulated.
Zhang Chao's regulations are actually an identification card for the slaves, and this kind of conspicuous identification that cannot be removed can make the officers and soldiers clearly know the identity of the slaves.
At the same time, the Taozhou government also stipulated that slaves could not leave the master's village without permission, unless they traveled with their master.
If they traveled alone, it was obligatory for both the people and the officials to arrest them and deliver them to the government or to their masters, and the slave owners were obligated to pay them a reward.
If the slaves resisted, the officers and soldiers had the right to execute them directly.
Taozhou has a population of only about 80,000, and there are more than 20,000 slaves at once.
On the one hand, Zhang Chao strengthened the management of slaves, and at the same time, he also demanded that the owners of slaves treat these slaves well, provide them with accommodation and clothing, and not deliberately abuse and beat, etc., and the government will send people to conduct regular inspections, and the people in the local townships also have the right to supervise.
If the slaves were harsh or mistreated, the government had the right to impose fines on them or even confiscate their slaves.
Every slave had to have a prescribed tattoo.
The designated thorn spot in Xinhong Township should be the shop of the head of the head.
There were more than 3,000 slaves, and the head had to be busy for several days.
At the beginning, the head was still a little handy, and I hadn't been stabbed for a long time, and it was all acupuncture.
However, after piercing a few, I immediately regained my feel.
The granddaughter of the head also held a needle prick.
In fact, thorns are much simpler than acupuncture, and acupuncture also needs to pay attention to acupuncture points, strength, and so on.
And the thorn is directly to take a big needle, and the needle is pricked after the slave's strength.
After piercing, take a cloth and wipe the blood, then apply the ink, and it's done.
As for what anesthesia, disinfection, these are simply impossible.
One by one, the soldiers of the new town brought their slaves over and lined up outside the store, squatting and chatting.
"Your slave is good, thick and strong, one can be used for two" One of the soldiers looked at the slave who was being led by his companion next to him, and it was obvious that the slave was a tribal warrior.
Although he was chained, his eyes were still very vicious.
"Strong is strong, but it's disobedient, and I regret it when I buy it.
I envy you, you see how honest he is, if you let him squat, he will squat.
Damn, look at me again, I'm still making mistakes with me along the way, but I can't hit it hard, and I'm tired along the way. ” "Actually, it's easy for you to make him obedient, you have clear rewards and punishments, and Wien stands side by side.
If you behave well, you will have food, and if you behave badly, you will eat a whip. ” "But the court won't let me fight."
"Who said not to be beaten, just said not to abuse them.
When his cattle and horses are disobedient, you don't have to whip a few whips, as long as you don't abuse him on purpose, don't kill or maim him, no problem.
I'm not obedient at first, as soon as my temper comes up, I will beat him up, and if I starve him for two more days, he will immediately be honest.
The soldier said triumphantly.
Another soldier said, "Actually, there is a better way to make them obedient." ” "Instructions" "Hehe, I also bought a Yeli woman last time, I told the male slave, work for me honestly, don't think about running away or anything, then as long as a year passes, I will match the Yeli woman to him as a wife, and let them live together."
"It's not too cheap for him."
A young soldier shouted.
"You kid can't be a woman who has already your family."
"No," said the young man, blushing, but his face betrayed him.
Everyone laughed and didn't say much, in fact, many people bought the young Yeli woman and went back, and they all did this.
"Actually, you don't suffer a loss, you promised him the Yeli woman, if you want to go up, you can't go as usual, and if they give birth to a child in the future, you are equivalent to another slave."
The blushing soldier said hesitantly, "But what if the Yeli woman is pregnant with her own seed?"
A group of government soldiers looked at each other.
"If you don't sow the seeds, you'll be fine."
A young man replied.
"This can't be so controlled."
After stabbing another one at this time, come over and rest.
Hearing them chatting so happily, he said, "This is not a big deal, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, even if the Yeli woman is pregnant with your species, but after being born, he is also an adulterous child, and even has to follow the identity of his mother, he is a cheap seed."

So, you young people have to play, but you still have to control it at a critical time. ” "If you are pregnant by then, and you are not sure if it is your species, you can come to me, I will give you some medicine, and just kill it."
"This..."
The young soldiers were speechless one by one, these words were too cruel and cold.
"Why can't you be reluctant, if you think it's too ruthless, then don't covet that momentary joy, you are not living well with Liu Yuanjun now, you have land, a house and a bonus reward, is it not good to marry a woman from a good family who is right Besides, you all have honors, and you can take a concubine.
Although a concubine is a concubine, after all, it is not as good as an adulterous child born to a slave."
The two slaves of a government soldier had already been tattooed, and he carefully looked at the ink on the back of his slave's neck.
"Toutou, there's still blood here" "It's okay, it's all inked, remember not to wash it with water for the next few days, you have to let him grow well."
"Alright, I'll go back first.
The family is also busy plowing the land and raking the land, and rushing to grow some winter wheat when the time comes. ” Several government soldiers said with a smile, "What's the hurry, it's still early, this winter wheat can't be planted too early, and when the seedlings grow too early, it's not good to survive the winter." ” "Divide those wastelands, don't want to reclaim a few more acres, don't expect any harvest this year, first turn over the ground, get some seeds, next summer harvest can harvest as much as it wants, and the province just let the field grow grass again."
"Let your family take slaves to plant, anyway, there are cattle, slaves, farm tools and everything.
Don't worry, our soldiers still have to take more time to practice their martial arts, and then go into battle to kill the enemy and earn meritorious service is the right way." 9 chapters are still owed t1706231537:
