Ming Yue often cares for distant relatives Chapter 8 How strict the laws of the Qin period were
Everyone went to Dehuangping's house. A magnificent wooden main house, and three thatched huts surround each other, forming a small courtyard in the middle, in the courtyard are placed some farm tools, on the surface of a layer of ash, as if there has been no agricultural production activities for a long time, a discerning person can see at a glance that Huang Ping is lazy by nature, does not produce, and relies on the pavilion chief's money and bribes of others to survive.
Huang Ping saw Zhao Zijing's face and threw his heart on the weeds next to the sheepfold to sober up, and arranged a spacious room for Zhao Zijing to feel at ease.
"Lao Huang, do you have a stone mill here?" Zhao Zijing wondered why there was no stone mill in the yard, almost every household in the village used to have this thing, which could grind tofu and flour, except for the disadvantage of being very bulky, almost all of them were shortcomings. Zhao Zijing recalled that when he was a child, the family sat on the table next to the stone mill at night, listening to his grandfather tell the story of the Red Army's Long March, and eating watermelons grown in the field, which was very comfortable.
"Stone mills? What is this, something made of stone? Huang Ping asked, holding his dirty hair.
"And how do you grind flour?" Zhao Zijing asked.
"Flour? What? Huang Ping was even more puzzled and said, "Can you eat it, and what is it made of?" ”
Zhao Zijing muttered in his heart: No, the Qin Dynasty didn't have noodles, if there was no flour and tofu, wouldn't this world lack too much fun, even if it was for his own appetite, he had to grind the stone.
"Forget it." Zhao Zijing said, "When the time comes, I will draw the drawings and hand them over to the craftsmen to make them, and you will know what the stone mill is, and you can eat the most delicious food in the world." ”
Huang Ping seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and he was a little moved by the food in Zhao Zijing's mouth. From Huang Ping's preliminary judgment, Zhao Zijing is a capable man with strong martial arts, and he cannot be allowed to doubt Zhao Zijing's words. But Zhao Zijing made Huang Ping very faceless, this face is a big matter, and the food is a small matter, Huang Ping still made up his mind to send Zhao Zijing to serve in order to avenge today's difficult revenge.
"That's good, Brother Ready-to-Wear, you rest first, I'll go prepare the meal!" Huang Ping said.
Zhao Zijing thanked him and walked into the house, and he didn't see Huang Ping, who was harboring evil intentions, looking at him with the eyes of a dead man.
"In a few days, I will send you and a group of conscripts to build a gallop road, since ancient times, there is not one in ten, and you are afraid that you will also save your life, this is the price you pay for humiliating me today."
Huang Ping, who had Xiao Jiujiu in his mind, came to the main house and ordered his wife Huang to go to the hot meal. He pushed the door in, rolled up the curtain, and between them a radiant woman was dotting a thrush on the dresser, and Huang Ping couldn't help but itch every time he saw his wife sitting on the thrush.
"Xijun (that is, the meaning of Mrs.), you are really radiant and radiant today, let your husband love him well?" Huang Ping rubbed his dirty hands and said like a pig.
Huang dodged Huang Ping's pig hand and said in disgust: "My husband is dirty, how can I serve you." Besides, the jewelry you bought this morning hasn't been found yet, and I'm really not interested. Huang's eyebrows were full of spring, and just glancing at Huang Ping so gently made him feel uneasy.
"Buy! Buy! Buy! Buy it by all means, buy it today! Huang Ping said eagerly, holding Huang's little hand and rubbing it, looking at Huang's grace with squinting eyes, eager to eat Huang's.
Huang was held by Huang Ping and couldn't break free for a while, and he was helpless in his heart. She was originally a small palace maid in the palace of Chu State, in the twenty-third year of Zhao Zheng, Wang Jian led the army to attack Chu, and the army of 600,000 broke through the city of Chu in an instant, captured the king of Chu, and the huge king of Chu was broken by the Qin army in only a short period of time and became a county under the jurisdiction of Qin. So Huang followed the flow to the people, and when she came to Luzhen, she was the only one left, because she was lonely and strict in inspection, so she tempted Huang Ping and married Huang Ping as his wife. Huang Ping was overjoyed when he saw a beautiful woman in his arms, and he married Huang without thinking about anything, and he has lived a very nourishing life over the years.
"Why did the husband bring the living man to his home, if the person was a traitor, wouldn't he implicate us?" Huang shook his little head, broke free from Huang Ping's shackles, and changed the topic and said.
"That's exactly what I'm trying to tell you." Huang Ping sat on the ground and said, "Although this Zhao Chengyi is strong in martial arts, he dares to spread wild on my territory, and the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, I will send him to the frontier sooner or later to build a gallop road to relieve the hatred in my heart." ”
Huang looked at Huang Ping, who had a hideous face, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
"Husband, you're ,,, afraid it's not right! He is not from Lu Town, if you are full, you are afraid that you will be discovered by the county lieutenant, and you will be in danger. Huang poured a cup of tea soup and handed it to Huang Ping and said.
"Don't be afraid, I already have a measure in my heart, and I am sure to let this Zhao Chengyi go around if I can't eat it!" After Huang Ping finished speaking, his eyes showed a fierce light, and Huang was frightened, and he didn't persuade for a while.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the window.
Huang Ping straightened up suddenly, ran out of the door with a sword in hand, but found no one. Just when he was wondering, he saw a wild dog running out of the grass, Huang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said that his courage was still too small.
At noon, Huang Ping entertained Zhao Zijing for dinner, and Huang entertained him on the side. Huang secretly looked at Zhao Zijing from time to time, and was confused by Zhao Zijing's handsome appearance. Naturally, this was secretly seen when Huang Ping didn't find out.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhao Zijing took the wine bottle that Huang poured for him and said. During this period, the Huang family threw flattering eyes at Zhao Zijing from time to time, which made Zhao Zijing embarrassed for a while.
"Sister-in-law,,, do you have bad eyes?" Zhao Zijing asked pretending not to know.
"Ahh No,,, no! Huang turned around and returned to the house with a red face. Huang Ping looked at Huang strangely, then turned to Zhao Zijing and apologized: "Brother Ready-to-wear, don't care, I haven't seen a living person for a long time, so it's inevitable that I will lose some shape." ”
Zhao Zijing politely returned the salute. The two of them finished eating the wine and food, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
So Huang Ping took Zhao Zijing and the slave heart to the market town, one was to find a craftsman to build the stone mill in Zhao Zijing's mouth, and the other thing was to handle Zhao Zijing's household registration, so that he could replace Lu Zhen to build a gallop road.
Huang Ping and Zhao Zijing walked side by side, and the slave followed with his head bowed.
"Lao Huang, why is this ten miles so poor! I've been all the way, the fields are vast, and it stands to reason that I won't be so poor, right? Zhao Zijing looked at the many people on the side of the road who were unclothed and said.
"Alas! In our part of the world, the annual conscription and taxation are a huge burden, not to mention the bandits and hungry people in the mountains, and now the world is becoming more and more chaotic! ”
Huang Ping replied. At this time, a few civilians not far away were fighting in the market town because of a piece of pancake, and even one of them was beaten to the head and bleeding, but for food, he still joined the battle group, praying for a little bread to eat. Huang Ping angrily stepped forward to pull away the few people who were fighting, trampled the pancakes on the ground and ravaged them fiercely, and said viciously: "I see who dares to commit murder and fight in broad daylight!" ”
Everyone dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, if they angered the pavilion chief and were sent to the army, then there was really no way to live.
Zhao Zijing stepped forward to help up the injured person, looking at this person worriedly, through his observation, there was a misalignment of the arm, if it continued like this, the arm would be completely useless.
"The strong man saves me, my family is just a man, if I ,,, this family will be over." The wounded prayed in pain.
Zhao Zijing couldn't bear it, so he asked the slave to hold the wounded man, and he held his arm, twisted it a few times, only heard the sound of bones twisting, and the injured man's arm could be waved normally. Everyone on the side exclaimed, looking incredulous.
"Isn't this the strong man who clashed with the pavilion chief yesterday? I didn't expect to know how to heal, what a master! An old man said.
Seeing that he was healed and his arm could move normally, the injured man burst into tears with joy, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for saving your life!" In the next life, be a cow and a horse, and repay your kindness. ”
Zhao Zijing hurriedly said no. Those who were otherwise injured also wanted Zhao Zijing to be treated, but Huang Ping had a gloomy face on the side, and no one dared to step forward. Zhao Zijing saw that the other injured people were scratches and bruises, which were not very serious, so he advised everyone to go to the hospital for treatment. Although everyone was very disappointed, forced by the pavilion chief's obscenity, they all dispersed.
"Lao Huang, how can you do it with such a straight face? The villagers are scared when they see you! Zhao Zijing hooked Huang Ping's shoulder and said.
"Brother Ready-to-Wear, to rectify the people, you must be majestic, and if they are afraid, they will obey my orders!" Huang Ping said resolutely.
"But if you do this, they will only fear you, not respect you!"
"As an official of Great Qin, you have to impose severe punishments and strict laws to regulate their behavior, how can you learn from Confucianism and educate them?"
Zhao Zijing can't talk to Huang Ping anymore, the background of the Qin Dynasty is here, and all regions are implementing strict laws, which are effective from the top to the bottom, and if Huang Ping wants to sit firmly in his position, it is understandable to do so.
Let's grind the stone out first, and the rest will be watching! If you can help people improve their lives, it will be a good deed!
