Why didn't you put prisoners in prison in ancient times, but sent people thousands of miles away?

what can I say? In ancient times, at least in TV dramas, no life imprisonment has been found. If it's serious, chop it directly, or cut it at the waist. If there are other petty crimes, a bamboo shoot fried with meat is inevitable.

As for those in prison, it is not without them. They will last for three years, mostly a year or two. In the past, whenever the emperor had any happy events, he would grant amnesty to the whole world. In fact, the prisoners at that meeting came out a year or two later, and it was not a big rape, so there was no problem.

After all, it was not the beheading of the exiles that made a big mistake, which basically had nothing to do with them.

Why is this happening? First of all, people didn't live long before. At the age of 50, you can know your destiny, and at the age of 60, you are gentle and obedient. Few of them are wealthy families.

Ordinary people who have to count the rice in the pot after eating the next meal will be lucky to have a life expectancy of 40. Most of them are 30 years old, mainly because the medical level at that time was also poor.

Not to mention ordinary people, they are the treasures of the emperor's family. If she is ill, she will leave. Zhu Biao, the simplest prince of Zhu Yuanzhang, was ill. Isn't the white-haired man for the black-haired man?

So you come ten years, boy, and one third of your life is gone. It takes fifteen years to grow up and ten years to go to prison, but this guy has only five years to contribute to the place and has done bad things. Isn't that a waste?

At least waste food? Then how can such prisoners have so much extra food to waste? An acre of land is not like now, and all technologies are used. The whole ton is possible. At that time, it would be good to have 100 kilograms per mu.

Therefore, this is a step lower than the punishment of beheading, which is basically exile.

Exile it to where? Frontier areas, or no man's land, uncultivated old forests, frozen black forests, etc. In short, wherever there is no one, it flows.

Wasn't someone there when the prisoner came over? This situation has been going on for one or two hundred years. Isn't the population rising? If not, the next two dynasties, 600 years, will be enough to make this uninhabited land rich.

This is the best use!

Simply put, the South China Sea is cackling. Do you think this place was prosperous in ancient times? Forget it! Nobody wants to come to this godforsaken place. They want to live and fight against God and the earth. If they are alive, they can thrive. If they can't live, they are prisoners anyway. Serve you right!

Now let's spend money here to play, euphemistically called-vacation.

There are also Yunnan and Fujian, which developed after hundreds of years of exile. Later dynasties began to shelve Gada exile in the northeast, and the typical one was Ningguta in the Qing Dynasty.

When the emperor patted the table on TV, their eyes were almost as big as light bulbs: "Wow! I was sent to Guningbaota to be a slave in armor, and I will forgive you! " Especially classic.

Only at the end of the Qing Dynasty, they were no longer sent to Ningguta, because there were many people here, and began to be sent to Xinjiang, of course, not to plant trees, but mostly to guard the border with weapons.

In fact, this matter is not only in China, but also in foreigners.

Take Britain as an example. At that time, many prisoners were sent to Australia, which is what Australia looks like now.

Some people say that America is the same, but that's not true. The United States is at least an immigrant, an ordinary person who moved from Britain, unlike Australia.
