Zhao Zijing started from Huiji County, went up along the Yangtze River for a while, until today's Jianghan Plain, and then turned around and went straight north.

The natural scenery of the Qin Dynasty is like an undeveloped pure land of bliss, and everything grows in the uninhabited realm of Liao, and birds and beasts are everywhere, which has long been commonplace for Zhao Zijing. In the past, he was in the modern era and was very eager to live next to the mountains, forests and lakes with fresh air and pleasant scenery, but now this wish has come true, and he has lived in Wuyin Mountain for more than four years.

Now his only wish is to see the customs and people of the Qin Dynasty, to meet those famous figures in history, if he can become brothers and make friends like Xiang Yu, then it will be worth the trip.

But what he saw made Zhao Zijing disappointed and even shocked!

The Yangtze River area is okay, rich in products, and the people can rely on the river water to produce self-sufficient. But since the area along the plain to Jiujiang County, there is not one out of ten villages, the people's livelihood is withered, the people are scarce, and the people on the road are like mourning.

Zhao Zijing's heart was extremely distressed, this is the great Qin Empire in history that inherited the past and opened up the future?

On every road there are hungry people and conscripts who cannot survive, and sooner or later they will die if they leave their land.

Qin implemented a tough household registration system, as a tool for collecting taxes, inspecting household registration, dispatching conscription, and ruling order, and more particularly, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the household registration system was strict, combining household registration and military organization, "five families for one guarantee, ten families for the company", and the implementation of the "Shiwu Lian Sitting Law", if the people left the land at will, once they were discovered by the officials, it was not just him who was punished, but even countless people in the village, this system was strict to the point of being called perverted.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Zhao Zijing took out some of his plates to buy food everywhere he went, and with the help of the villagers, boiled gruel to relieve the hungry and forced labor who could not survive.

Gradually, this matter was widely spread, and everyone said that there was a chivalrous man in Jiujiang County who helped the poor and selflessly helped the people.

，，，，，，

On this day, Zhao Zijing rode a donkey through the depressed plains, and finally arrived in the area of Daze Township.

"This is the place where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled more than ten years later? It's really poor. ”

Zhao Zijing raised his eyes and saw that there were no more than 1,000 people within a radius of ten miles, and even the villages in some places were completely like empty shells. Along the road, soon the shadow of a market town faintly appeared, and the houses were lined up one after another, although they were not magnificent, but they still made Zhao Zijing very happy.

At this time, suddenly a few white sheep sprang out of the grass on the side of the road, the sound of the bell was particularly pleasant in the quiet jungle, Zhao Zijing looked, a young man with bundled hair, throwing a sheep branch in his hand, shouting the words "hee hee rhythm" in his mouth, passing by the roadside.

"Little brother, do you know where this is?" Zhao Zijing asked cordially.

The young man with the bundled hair was a little panicked, and he was a little vigilant in his heart, guarding against Zhao Zijing and said: "This place is ,,, Jiujiang Lu Town, who are you ,,, you are?" ”

"Don't be afraid! In this way, my brother will give you bread to eat, and you will tell me all the customs and customs in this area, okay? ”

Zhao Zijing took out the cake to tempt the young man with the bundle of hair, feeling that he was an out-and-out big-tailed wolf at this time.

The young man looked at Zhao Zijing vigilantly, but he hadn't eaten food for a long time, and he usually used wild vegetables and grass roots to satisfy his hunger; Herding sheep for the pavilion chief's house, because he was a slave he bought, the food he got was also minimal, not to mention this big pancake, the young man swallowed his saliva fiercely, snatched the pancake with lightning speed, and devoured it.

"Whoa! You ,,," Zhao Zijing couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw the cake in his hand being snatched away, but when he saw the young man's pitiful appearance, his heart softened, and he handed the leather bag containing the wine to the young man, and said, "Eat slowly!" Drink something and don't choke! ”

The young man took the skin that he thought was filled with water defenselessly, and he had already relaxed his vigilance against Zhao Zijing in his heart. Those who deliver water and bread, although they have plans, can fill their stomachs, as long as they do not violate their own morality, what if they are driven by him?

Zhao Zijing didn't expect that his unintentional act would capture the heart of a young man, and at this time he was watching with interest as the young man opened the stopper and drank the contents of his skin.

"Uh-" The young man finished drinking, his cheeks turned red suddenly, and he looked at the wine bag and said in disbelief: "This ,,, this is wine, you give me wine?" ”

Hahaha!

Zhao Zijing laughed heartily on the side, the young man looked like he had seen the most incredible thing in the world, he looked at the wine bag, then looked at Zhao Zijing, and said, "Okay! You're teasing me! See if I don't finish all your wine! ”

Saying that, the young man drank the wine in the wine bag into his stomach, and many of it was spilled, Zhao Zijing hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the wine bag, and said sadly: "This is the wine I finally got in exchange, oops!" You've drunk half of it for me. ”

The young man Xu was drunk, and he walked a little floating, and said: "Uh——, good wine, good wine,,, I still want to drink!" ”

Zhao Zijing put the wine bag in his arms like a baby, and the young man couldn't scramble, so he fell asleep directly.

A teenager, a flock of sheep,,,

Zhao Zijing shook his head, pay for the sins you did! He put the boy on the back of a donkey, drove the flock, and walked towards the market town.

，，，，，，

Huang Ping, the pavilion chief who lives in Lu Town, woke up early in the morning and the magpies next to the house were chattering non-stop, thinking that this must be a good sign.

But today he did not meet a good thing, the conscription is still one person missing, if he cannot complete the above task, then it will be the crime of killing the head; In addition, his wife Huang thinks about buying jewelry and clothes all day long, which also gives him a headache, although he is a pavilion chief, but he has little power in this Lu Town, just undertakes the security guards, governs civil affairs, and the final decision-making power is in the hands of the three elders; Then there is the slave heart he bought to shepherd the sheep and has not come back yet, which makes him feel uneasy.

The identity of this slave named Heart is not simple.

Huang Ping came out of the house, walked to the market town, met acquaintances will say hello, begging people to do things will also stuff him with some copper coins, Huang Ping likes to see, this kind of thing he has not done, but he has always been very careful and sticks to his bottom line.

"Pavilion Chief Huang, that slave you bought is back!" A townsman shouted.

"Isn't it just a slave? Why all this fuss? ”

Huang Ping was unhappy in his heart, although the identity of this slave is not simple, but in the final analysis, it is now the world of the Qin State, as the pavilion chief, he belongs to the official official of the Qin State, even if he meets the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, he also has the right to exercise the power of life and death. So Huang Ping clenched the sword in his hand and rushed forward to ask for the guilt.

It just so happened that at this time, Zhao Zijing entered the market town with his heart, and the sheep also followed, helping people to the end, and sending the Buddha to the west.

"Who are you, and why are you bound to my slave?"

Hearing that someone came forward to ask for the guilt, Zhao Zijing thought that he had finally found the right owner, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about this brother, I'm drunk from my wine, I'll bring him all the way, since you know him, take him back!"

Huang Ping saw that the slave was indeed drunk, and was rolling on the donkey, and the people next to him saw that there was a bustle, and hurriedly stepped forward to watch. Not to mention that this is a big event related to Pavilion Chief Huang.

Huang Pingzi couldn't let go, stepped forward and pulled out the bronze sword, slapped the slave with the sword, and scolded while beating: "Damn slave, don't herd sheep well, just drink secretly, and sleep unconscious, damn it,,,"

There was a lively discussion among the people next to them.

"Hey! What are you doing? Zhao Zijing stopped Huang Ping and said, "Didn't you see him sleep?" ”

"Get out of the way, I'm going to teach this lazy guy a good lesson!" Huang Ping said with his sword in his hand.

"If you continue to fight, he will die, are you so hurtful to heaven and reason, are you not afraid of the law?" Zhao Zijing said without flinching. Huang Ping smiled and said loudly in front of the people: "Since ancient times, there is no reason that the master will accept punishment for killing his own slave, I saw that you are not an ordinary person, so I didn't pursue it, go away quickly, don't delay my errand!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Zijing still had no intention of retreating, Huang Ping stepped forward with a sword and stabbed at Zhao Zijing, thinking that as long as he taught this hairy boy a good lesson, he would not bear the responsibility. Zhao Zijing was in danger, the bamboo pole in his hand was like a golden hoop stick that he played with amazingly, facing Huang Ping, he turned around, kicked Huang Ping in the back, and kicked Huang Ping a few steps away.

Zhao Zijing put the bamboo pole behind him and hooked his finger at Huang Ping. Huang Ping knew by his eyes that this was a provocative action, and he was very angry, holding the bronze sword in both hands and slashing towards Zhao Zijing.

Zhao Zijing changed hands, the bamboo pole hit the back of Huang Ping's hand, knocked down the sword in the opponent's hand, snatched the sword, and the bamboo pole pointed directly at Huang Ping's throat. All this happened in a few breaths, and the villagers were dazzled.

"Strong man, don't be impulsive! I'm the pavilion chief of Lu Zhen, if you kill me, you won't be able to escape. Huang Ping subconsciously raised his hands and said in a panic. Zhao Zijing put down the bamboo pole in his hand, returned the sword, and said to Huang Ping: "What about me! I don't like to kill, and I don't want to kill, I just hope you can treat this slave well, after all, he is also a human life. ”

After saying that, Zhao Zijing was about to pack up his things and hurry, and everyone on the side exclaimed that the martial arts of this strong man were very strong, and he could fight with the pavilion chief holding the sword with only the bamboo pole in his hand, and it seemed that the pavilion chief was not the opponent of this strong man.

Huang Ping's dog leg saw that Huang Pingzi couldn't get by, so he stepped forward and secretly offered a plan and said: "Pavilion Chief, why don't you invite this strong man to your home as a guest, first, it shows that you are generous and tolerant, and you attach importance to talents, and second,,, this is your territory, isn't it simple for you to rectify him when the time comes?" I heard that there is still one person left to build the galloping road, so it is better to ,,,"

Huang Ping's eyes lit up, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"Strong, stay!" Huang Ping stopped Zhao Zijing and said: "It's a great honor to see a strong man today, I am the pavilion chief of this Lu Town, I don't know if you can come to my house as a guest, and let me do my landlord's friendship?" ”

Zhao Zijing thought that there was not much entanglement, and if it was too late to stay, he was already moved in his heart.

"Do you have any drink?" Zhao Zijing asked.

"Uh-it's all home-brewed wine in the township, don't dislike it!"

"Good! I agreed. ”

Huang Ping was very happy, dispersed the crowd, and led Zhao Zijing to walk home. I have already calculated in my heart how to arrange Zhao Zijing to be sent to the conscription to relieve the hatred in my heart!
