In Zhao's domestic county, Handan is the richest, and Hengshan is the poorest.

But even in Hengshan County, there is a large county with a population of 30,000 households like Qu Rebellion, which is a thoroughfare between the north and the south, and is rich in Yan Zhao.

Of course, there are rich and poor, the poorest Fanwu County (Pingshan County, Hebei) has only 5,000 households, its land is mostly hills, and there are many cypress trees on the mountains, so there will be a place name called "Xibaipo" in later generations. The remaining veins of Taihang stretch their bones here, even if it is the flat land on both sides of the Hutuo River, there are some strange mountain bags......

In short, it is a county with little oil and water, and there were a few small feudal lords in Zhao Guoshi, who didn't want to come here to live at all, and only sent people to collect rent every year. Later, General Li Mu fought a battle with the Qin army here, delaying the fall of the Zhao State for several years, and there is no history book to give it pen and ink.

But recently, Fanwu, who has returned to Zhao for more than half a year, is very lively, and in the autumn wind, there is a group of people wielding hoes under a mountain bag in Panwu County, sweating like rain.

The leader was a military official with a crown on his head, and he was working here, but there were two guards holding his unloaded fine armor and silk brocade crown belt, and they were a little at a loss, and several scribes of the county whispered in the distance in the cool place, and were a little amused by this scene.

"You are the captain of a county, how can you personally go down to the field and work with the people?"

"I heard that he was originally from Chen Diyang City, the son of the rope pivot, the person of the gangsters, and the migrants are also ......"

The scribes always looked down on him, but the local light chivalry people in Hengshan County had a good impression of this lieutenant who shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and praised him between drinking water:

"Captain Chen has a good plan!"

"Chen Junwei" naturally would not let go of this opportunity to buy people's hearts and win the favor of the low-level soldiers, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile in the Hengshan dialect with Chu Yin:

"Like you, my family is not rich, and I try to farm with servants when I am young."

He started telling that story again.

"After work, just like now, when I dropped out of farming, I often touched the cocoons on my hands, and in my empty stomach, I hated for a long time, so I said a word to my fellow villagers who were farming together."

"What did you say?" The soldiers approached curiously.

"I said, 'Gou is rich and noble, and nothing is forgotten'!"

Chen Sheng's words shouted loudly, as if he was also saying to the hundreds of soldiers beside him.

He stood up, pointed to the ground under his feet, and said: "Wealth is at the feet, the first person to plan, double the reward, add wine and meat!" ”

The corporals seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, got up again, worked hard at the foot of the mountain, and the excavated soil was carried away, and the whole process was extremely skillful.

Chen Sheng watched this scene with satisfaction and beckoned a Fang Shi in the distance to come over.

"Is there really a big tomb down here?"

Life is not easy, so he changed his career to become a monk who touched the Jinding acupoint: "Don't worry, this will be the big mound of Zhongshan Kingdom!" ”

It turned out that Chen Sheng brought this group of people to this poor county, not to open up wasteland and farm, but to "steal the grave".

In the Qin Dynasty, tomb robbery was a major crime, and the law stipulated that when the same crimes as wounding and maiming, blackmail, murder and human trafficking, should be punished with imprisonment.

But now that Fanwu has returned to the Zhao State, out of resentment towards Qin, Zhao Wang Xie abandoned all the laws of Qin and reused the laws of the Zhao State, which seems to have a law, but in fact the whole country has become a place outside the law, a paradise for light heroes and thieves, and the society is in chaos.

No one cares about this, Chen Sheng is just robbing a tomb, and no one is talking about him.

As for moral condemnation...... Nor is it even more non-existent.

"Do as the locals do."

Chen Sheng couldn't help sighing: "If I do this in Yangcheng and Chudi, I am afraid that someone will poke me in the back and curse me for cutting off my children and grandchildren, but in Hengshan County, it is just an ordinary thing to steal graves, and I talk about it after dinner." ”

This Hengshan County is thin and people, and the land alone can not support hundreds of thousands of people, so it has formed a folk custom of being anxious and relying on the opportunity to eat.

Men do not like to work on weekdays, gather to play, sing lamentations and generosity, meet to plunder and rob when they have no money to spend, dig graves and rob graves at night, and mint coins privately. Women's interest is no longer to weave cloth and live a good life, often play the piano, stomp on the wooden clog, wander around, flatter the powerful and rich, enter the harem, all over the princes, no matter how bad it is, you can be an advocate.

Previously, Chen Sheng volunteered to leave Chu with Chen Yu and go north to Zhao, and then voted for the king of Zhao together, and was ordered to take Hengshan County. Relying on Chen Yu is the son-in-law of the Kucheng clan, he got the response of the nobles of the county, and it was easy to get it, Chen Yu became the Kucheng Jun, Hengshan Shou, and Chen Sheng was his deputy, Hengshan Wei.

Theoretically, when Chen Yu went south to attack Qin with Xiang Yu to the west, Chen Sheng should have the final say in Hengshan County, but Chen Sheng soon discovered that the local nobles deceived themselves as outsiders, and even openly set up themselves, giving orders in the east wall of the county, and they also bought off Zhao Wang Jinchen and sent Chen Sheng to the west to attack Jingcheng Pass.

Chen Sheng felt aggrieved, but when he first arrived, his foundation was shallow, so he could only accept his life.

It's just more than a month ago, Chen Shengjiu couldn't conquer the Jingcheng Pass but surrendered without a fight, it turned out that Zhao Cheng, who guarded the east of the Qin River, took refuge in the Six Kingdoms, and the Zhao army Li Zuoche Department smoothly entered Taiyuan from the east of the river, and all took this county, and Jingcheng went down.

Chen Sheng speculated that the allied army's westward attack on Qin was a tough battle, and Xiang Yu was stingy and did not reward his merits, so he was unwilling to participate and stayed in Lingshou County, Hengshan County.

After the autumn, the previous Zhao people, out of revenge, slaughtered the Qin officials and burned the county temple began to show the evil results.

Zhao Xie's name was King Zhao, but in fact he lost control of the grassroots, and the noble villagers who had been suppressed by the Qin began to raise their heads and take over the locality, and the Zhao State in fact restored the feudal system.

In this way, whether it is land rent or oral endowment, it has to be passed through the hands of the squire first, and very few are given to Chen Sheng, the county lieutenant, in the end.

"I'm like duckweed, it's hard to take root in Heng Mountain, and I can't go on like this."

After Chen Sheng realized that no matter what he did, he couldn't integrate into the local nobles in Hengshan, Chen Sheng began to change his thinking and start from the bottom......

"I, the son of Qianshou!"

Chen Sheng began to imitate what he heard, the method of governing the army of the Southern Wuzhong Marquis, no longer hiding his humble identity, and wanted to mingle with the people at the bottom and gain a foothold.

In addition, since he was begging for money and silk to raise soldiers at King Zhao's rest, Chen Sheng began to find another way and made up his mind about the long-rumored "Tomb of King Zhongshan in Fanwu".

Zhongshan was established by the ancient Xianyu people, was destroyed by the Wei State once, and then restored the country, gradually became stronger, and united Wei, Han, Zhao, and Yan "Five Kingdoms Prime Minister". Among these five countries, only Zhongshan is the "country of a thousand times", and Fanwu is the cemetery of the kings of Zhongshan in the past dynasties.

Chen Sheng was not interested in the history of the Zhongshan Kingdom, what he cared about was whether there was a large tomb underground, whether the treasures in it were intact, and how many troops he could expand......

"Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?"

Chen Sheng's ambition is definitely more than one county lieutenant who has no real power!

He is rampant by nature, but these days, he endures the desire to be powerful, makes a polite corporal, and even mingles with the "birds".

It's not that he really feels that he comes from the same class as them, and he should share the wealth and wealth, and win over more people in a strange land to gain real power, but also to let his own big bird step on the shoulders of everyone and fly higher!

But to do big things, you need manpower, and if you want to expand the army, you need gold silk, and the only way Chen Sheng can think of is to rob the tomb.

It's a pity that this time Fang Shi looked away.

After digging for three days, there was nothing to be found under the mound, and the angry soldiers shouted that Fang Shi had been cooked, but Chen Sheng only had Fang Shi knock out two of his teeth.

"I'll give you another chance, even if I travel all over these hundred miles of mountains and rivers, I will definitely find the Zhongshan King Otsuka for me!"

After threatening Fang Shi like this, Chen Sheng returned to Lingshou in a huff, and now it is the end of August, and the news of Fusu's defeat of the Yan people in Jieshi has not yet come, but the first thing that arrived is the defeat of the withdrawal of the Western River of the Six-Nation Alliance Army in the west.

There were also a few uninvited guests.

"Chen She, Chen She!"

Before returning to the mansion, the familiar Chen Dichu sounded, Chen Sheng asked the carriage to stop, and when he looked around, it was a few people who were tied to the ground by the doorman......

"Thou shalt wait...... Chen Di people? ”

He looked at a few people with good faces, and was a little surprised, Chen Di was far away from here, except for the thousand people who went north with him, there were almost no Chu people, which was also one of the reasons why Chen Sheng was unavailable in Hengshan.

The doorman came to report, saying that these people came from the Xihe battlefield and followed Chen Yu's men back to Zhao, claiming to be Chen Sheng's friend, knocking on the door and shouting "I want to see him", with an arrogant attitude, and the doorman saw that they were rude, so they tied them up......

Seeing Chen She, those people were even happier, shouting for the doorman to loosen the tie, and shouted loudly:

"Back then, on the ridge, you said that Gou Fugui should not forget each other, did you forget it?"

Chen Sheng let people loosen their ties, and at a glance, they were really a few fellow villagers who had worked together back then......

These people confided, saying that they were recruited by General Xiang in Chudi, and pushed the chariot to follow the army westward, all the way to the Xihe, but because it was a baggage army, they did not get any benefits, so they got another order and hurriedly crossed the river and left.

Several people were afraid of being left behind, so they took advantage of the chaos when they withdrew their troops to find Chen Yu who was discussing things in Chuying, knelt in front of his carriage and wept bitterly, saying that he hoped to bring them back to China and vote for Chen Sheng, Chen Yu really thought that he was Chen Sheng's old man, and he needed Chen Sheng's cooperation in Hengshan County, so he allowed it.

Several people followed Chen Sheng into his newly purchased mansion, don't look at Chen Sheng outside to advertise himself as the son of the head of Qian, but the enjoyment has not fallen, the mansion is the former Zhao Guoxing Palace, there are palace house tents, raised a few Zhongshan Meiji, extremely beautiful, Chen Sheng clapped his hands, and came up to dance a circle of the famous local dance.

made a few fellows smack their lips, their eyes straightened, and they said straight:

"Partner, partner!"

In the Chen dialect, it means big, and I don't know if it's exaggerating the size of the house, or what is it......

Chen Sheng looked proud, and said in his heart: "Little bird, I don't know anything, now I believe that I am a bird?" ”

But unexpectedly, after three rounds of drinking, a few fellows with low emotional intelligence began to talk about some troubles when Chen Shengwei was at the end of the year, which made the guests who drank together laugh.

If Chen Sheng, who is already the king of Chen in history, will definitely not look good, but now that he claims to be the "son of the head of Qian", he will "forget the wealth and nobility" as a declaration, and wants to win over the people at the bottom and gather more than 1,000 Chu people who came to Hengshan together.

Now that the old people are coming to vote, they want to be entertained to show that they don't forget their old friendship, so they can only endure their dissatisfaction.

In addition, Chen Sheng was also very interested in the Battle of Xihe and Heifu's entry into the customs, and this group of fellow villagers could provide him with a lot of information.

Under Chen Sheng's questioning, several fellow villagers talked about what they had seen and heard in Xihe, from the slaughter they saw, to the fierce counterattack of the Qin people, the break of General Xiang Ji, to the dispersal of the Six-Nation Alliance in Hedong, and each returned to his own home, which made Chen Sheng frown.

The situation in the world is changing faster than he imagined.

"The Yangxia man who raised the flag with you in Chen County, when we were in Xihe, I heard of his name, and I heard that he also made meritorious service and became an official!"

One of the most promising fellows had been the head of the Chu army, and he was more well-informed, talking about Wu Guanglai.

"Oh?"

Chen Sheng suddenly became interested, and he still remembered the agreement between the two when he was separated from Wu Guang.

"Do you know what kind of official Wu Guang did in the Northern Expeditionary Army?"

"I don't know, but it is said that his subordinates have managed tens of thousands of prisoners, and they have also been stationed in Xihe, and across the water, the Wu Ziqi can be seen clearly!"

The old man of Chen County said extremely exaggeratedly, and after taking another sip of wine, he made fun of Chen Shenglai without concealment.

"Anyway, it's better than you!"
