Why did Liu Bang hide in the first place? Because he let go of all the people who served on the way.

Why did Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang hide in Huiji? Because they killed people in their hometown of Wuzhong.

Therefore, the decrees of the Qin Dynasty are generally only effective for the people at the bottom, and for the powerful or bullies, they basically don't take it seriously, and illegal things such as private fights, drinking, and killing people are done all day long, even against Great Qin.

Not only did these powerful families not care much about Qin Law at all, but even the officials of Great Qin didn't care much about Qin Law, and after learning of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising, the county magistrate of Napei County immediately called Liu Bang and these strongmen back to prepare to respond under the advice of Xiao He and Cao Shen, but Liu Bang's younger brother was more numerous, so he directly cut down the county order, and then erected the banner of Pei Gong.

Huiji County Shou Yin Tong also found Xiang Liang for the first time to prepare for an uprising, but how could Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, who were born with backbones, be subservient to others, Xiang Yu also directly cut off Yin Tong's head, and the blood of the county guard was like a river to seize the military power and then revolt.

The main reason why Liu Bang and Xiang Yu succeeded so quickly is that local officials also need these big families and bully-level figures to help him suppress the people and stabilize the regime.

Liu Bang is like this, and Xiang Yu is even more so.

According to the historical records of Xiang Yu, to what extent Xiang Yu is powerful, that is, the disciples of Wuzhong are all afraid of him, it can be seen that he is a super villain, and he is brave and aggressive and kills without blinking, and the laws of the Qin Dynasty cannot be controlled at all, because the county guards act as a protective umbrella for them.

Therefore, even if Jiangbei Pavilion now knows that the fire kang is a good thing, he still feels powerless if he wants to promote it in all towns and villages as smoothly as Chen Xu.

If the townsfolk don't want to do it, they can't promote anything.

What's more, promoting the ondol is a thankless task.

The common people froze to death and starved to death It has nothing to do with the villagers, it is just a natural disaster, and they can only blame their bad fate, dig a pit and bury it when they die, and then report it to the county government and forget it.

As for the sentence that human life is related to heaven, it is a joke in this primitive era, from the emperor and prime minister to the civilian slaves, they don't think that human life is valuable, let alone Guan Tian.

In just seven or eight years from the end of the Qin Dynasty to the beginning of the Han Dynasty, more than 10 million people died in the country due to conscription and war, and the adult population was reduced by nearly 70%.

Just a tragic hero Xiang Yu of Chu who has been praised by posterity for thousands of years, millions of people died at his hands, and he was completely a butcher.

The historical record Xiang Yu Benji records that there have been six massacres: slaughtering the civilians of the whole city in Xiangcheng, slaughtering the civilians of the city and the Qin army in the Chengyang pit, killing the 200,000 Qin troops of Zhang Han in Xin'an, killing the ten rooms and nine empty in the Guanzhong in the Xianyang Massacre, and killing the Qi soldiers and the people after breaking the Qi, and burning them after looting.

Otherwise, Liu Bang would not have implemented an extremely shameless population increase plan after coming to power, mainly because there are too few people, and it is almost impossible to support such a large territory and territory in China.

At that time, the Han law stipulated that if a woman was fifteen years old and had not married, she must pay a single tax of 120 yuan, if she had not married in the second year, she had to pay 150 yuan, and it would be doubled if she did not marry in the third year.

Because at that time, China had just experienced an almost semi-extinct war after the shortage of men, women could not choose good or bad to marry, polygamy has become an extremely normal form of marriage in the whole society, many women can only be concubines than slaves, as a fertility machine, life is extremely miserable, many women can not bear the torture of more than ten years and seek death, so it has caused countless suffering marriages, and giving birth to daughters has become a great burden for ordinary families, once they can't find someone to marry, they have to pay taxes, so giving birth to daughters is calledThis is where the term "money-losing goods" comes from.

However, since ancient times, China has emphasized the mutual restraint of yin and yang, good things and bad things cannot be generalized, and there is no absolute boundary between good people and bad people.

From the perspective of the Chinese development of Chinese history and civilization, if more than half of the people died, the Han would definitely not be so stable, because among the tens of millions of people who died in the Chu-Han War, in addition to the ordinary people, almost none of the kings and nobles left over from the Seven Heroes of the Warring States were slaughtered, and even Xiang Yu himself committed suicide, that is to say, all the diehard separatist rebels who shook the foundation of the Great Qin were all dead. The rest are the poorest peasants at the bottom, such as women, children, old and children, and after Liu Bang established the country, with the help of Lu Pheasant, he basically killed all the important ministers who founded the country, so far, there are no nobles in China, and the foundation for the restoration of the feudal state has been completely lost.

You must know that before the Qin Dynasty, China nominally belonged to the Zhou Dynasty, but in fact all the people considered themselves to be the subjects of the vassal states of Qin, Chu, and Qi, rather than the Great Zhou.

Only the kings of the vassal states identified with the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is the characteristic and foundation of feudalism, and the people are the private property of the princes and kings.

Qi Di thinks that he is still a Qi countryman.

The people of Chu still think that they are from Chu.

And this rare semi-destructive massacre actually completely cut off and buried this identity, the people born after the establishment of the Han Dynasty only knew that they were the people of the Han Dynasty, and there was no Qi Chu, Han Yan, Zhao, Wei and Qin, and there was no distinction between the Qin people, the Chu people, and the Qi people, so the Han Dynasty became a unified belonging and identity in people's hearts, and the Han Dynasty really became a country that was completely unified from ideology to territory, and everyone regarded themselves as Han people, and the title of Han nationality became the official name of the Chinese.

When Chen Xu and Jiang Beiting were drinking tea and chatting, Jiang Chuyue also sat next to her with a teacup and didn't say a word, but a pair of eyes looked around the room, and seemed to be full of curiosity about the room together, and occasionally her eyes fell on Chen Xu's face, but she would find that she was completely useless, Chen Xu had never looked at her once from beginning to end, not even afterglow, so every time Jiang Chuyue's slightly expectant eyes fell on Chen Xu's face, it would soon turn into an inexplicable anger, Gritting his teeth, he continued to look elsewhere.

"By the way, nephew, I have one more thing to do this time!" Jiang Beiting was silent for a long time and suddenly said.

"Lord Jiang, please speak up!" Chen Xu said.

"A few days later, it will be the Winter Clothes Festival, the county guard Ma Boyuan invited me to Wancheng for a party, the virtuous nephew has nothing to do anyway, it is better to accompany me to see it, by the way, get to know more officials and celebrities in Nanyang, next year you will be an adult, I want to recommend you to serve in the county guard!"

"To the county guard's house? Master Jiang, is this too fast" Chen Xu asked after a pause.

"It's a little fast!" Jiang Beiting nodded, "But the virtuous nephew has a lot of wonderful ideas, and his actions are also imaginative, whether it is the invention and creation of threshers, quyuan plows, rakes, and fire kangs, which are related to people's livelihood, or the money-making businesses such as papermaking, winemaking, and pharmaceuticals, they all need a larger and more relaxed environment to perform, Qinghe Town is too small, even if it is Pheasant County, I don't feel that you are enough to display your talents, so Wancheng is the best, and Ma Boyuan has seen it last time, in fact, for officials at this level in Daqin County, he is very good, and his official reputation and evaluation are very good." , I don't think it will be because of the last incident that hurt you, not to mention the last incident, I also made a lot of efforts, he will definitely give me some face! ”

Chen Xu pondered for a moment and nodded and asked, "Thank you for raising the county order, I don't know what time it is?" ”

"There are still four months to go to the beginning of spring, and then it is spring sowing, in order not to let the spring sowing in Qinghe Town delay the season, I want to put it after spring sowing, maybe March or April, what do you think?" Jiang Beiting stroked his beard and thought for a long time and said.

"That's the best!" Chen Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was now worried that he would leave suddenly, and then find a messy person to come up and take his place, so that the workshop and various plans he had managed to get in Qinghe Town might be in vain, which was not what he wanted to see.

Jiang Beiting also seemed to know his thoughts, so he gave him almost half a year.

Twelve months a year, Qin Li Jianhai, October is the beginning of the year, after the Winter Clothes Festival officially enters the winter, four months later is February, the weather has gradually warmed up, spring sowing will also begin, busy is basically March, and then April has entered the early summer season.

Chen Xu was a little distracted, as if he had crossed over to April with the singing of birds and flowers, so that half of the year had passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiangbei Pavilion came from afar, and he specially came to take him to Wancheng to see the high-level New Year's party, although Chen Xu didn't want to go, but he was still quite grateful, so after drinking tea, he personally cooked a few good side dishes to entertain him.

was busy in the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of tinkling and puffing, and a tempting fragrance wafted out from the kitchen, causing Jiang Chuyue to sit in the courtyard and look at the kitchen.

Xing'er didn't like Jiang Chuyue, because this young lady was rude and willful, and she used a knife to scare her brother, so she didn't say hello since Jiang Chuyue appeared, and at this time she hid in the kitchen to help Chen Xu make a fire.

"Brother, when is Sister Shui coming?" Xing'er sat on a small stool made of round rootstock behind the stove and asked as she added firewood to the stove.

"I don't know yet, maybe I'll come back with Uncle Yu, so that we will be lively after the Winter Clothes Festival!" Chen Xu said while cooking.

"If Sister Shui comes, I can sleep with her in winter, and she can also teach me to read and read, there are so many simple slips piled up in the room, Xing'er doesn't recognize a word!" Xing'er said excitedly and frustratedly.

Chen Xu sighed and stir-fried with his head stuffy, it seems that even if the water is gentle, even if it comes, it is estimated that there is no happy life of touching and pinching, so he can only stare dryly.
