After the two thieves were paraded through the streets, they were thrown into prison. In those days, there was no place to exile them, so they were left to eat in prison for three years.
The prefect felt that it was a waste of food to leave it there. After all, the government didn't have much extra money to feed them, so he discussed it with Elliot and decided to give them some noodles and send them to the weapons factory to work as ironworkers.
Two men who claimed to be chivalrous thieves had the word "thief" tattooed on their foreheads. They could no longer be heroes. They wore shackles every day and worked in an arms factory, regretting their decision.
The prisoners did not need to be paid for their work, which saved a lot of expenses. This made Elliot very satisfied, so he made an agreement with the prefect that in the future, as long as they were not sentenced to death, they would be sent to him to work.
Because of this parade, Jianyang's reputation gradually spread, and more and more merchants and peddlers came from all over the country, wanting to do business in Jianyang. Jianyang originally had a sparse population, and the prefect was very rare to see people coming to seek refuge, and basically accepted everyone. All you have to do is write a document to change your place of origin at your place of origin and report it to Jianyang Prefecture, and you can become a citizen of Jianyang.
