As far as Heifu knows, after Shang Ying changed the law, the Qin State was divided into twenty ranks, from the lowest level of public scholars and Shangzao, to the highest level of Guannei Marquis and Che Marquis.

According to the Qin law, if you get a knighthood, you can get fields, houses, and servant slaves who work for you. With each level of promotion, the treatment will rise, and you can change from a poor person with no cone to a small landlord, a big landlord or even a prince with his own fiefdom!

The higher the title, the higher the position.

Hefu guessed that in history, the reason why the Heifu brothers died in battle was because they served as soldiers who charged into battle.

But if he already has a knighthood when he is recruited, as an officer, with his own subordinates, it is equivalent to holding his own life in his hands, as long as he is careful, he will definitely have a chance to survive!

Think about it, but right now, Heifu is a level 0 soldier, not to mention any doctors, official doctors, even if it is a level 1 duke, it is not easy to earn.

If you want to get a knighthood in the Qin State, there are probably the following ways, and the fastest is to cut off people's heads on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions!

The Qin law stipulates: "The person who cuts a poem is the first rank." The title of "Gongshi" inherited by the eldest brother is that his father fought several times on the battlefield, and finally cut off a human head in exchange, and the price is that the cheap father fell into a wound and died within a few years after he came back......

In addition, the title can also be obtained by diligent farming, treacherous accusations, arresting thieves, and accumulating labor achievements as a petty official, but the problem is that farming cannot be fruitful without three or five years, and it is impossible to find adultery and arrest thieves, as for being a petty official......

At the moment, Heifu is just a stunned young man who has just come of age, and he has no merits, who will appoint him as a official? The reason why Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was able to become the pavilion chief of the Qin Dynasty relied on the fame left by being a ranger in the township in his early years, and none of these fledgling black husbands did not.

There are thousands of thoughts, like the fierce rain outside, crackling on the tiles, and the guest house is like a lonely boat floating in the turbulent waves of Yunmengze.

Heifu feels that he is also a small boat in this era of great changes, being swept up in the current, even if he knows the general trend of "King Qin sweeps Liuhe, and looks at He Xiongzai", but because of his background, he can't find a way to join in for a while......

In this way, after a night of dazed sleep, the next morning, Heifu got up early, and when he pushed the door, the rain outside had stopped. The carriage of the "doctor" was still parked in the courtyard, the carriage was dyed with red and black paint, so beautiful, the two horses, one white and one black, had already put on the reins and were ready to set off at any time, but he had to walk all the way to the county seat, afraid that he would grind out blisters all over his feet.

After wiping his face with the water dripping from the eaves, Heifu left the guest house, and there was already a person waiting for him at the door, it was Ji Ying who had told him about "Jing Ke's assassination of Qin" last night. Coincidentally, he said that he was a sergeant in Zhuanshui Township, and he was also going to serve in the county.

Without waiting for Heifu to say anything, Ji Ying was very enthusiastic to partner with him: "There is still a half-day trip to the county, so it is better to go together and take care of it." ”

Heifu is right to think about it, the two of them serve together, which can be regarded as robes, and they have to get along day and night for the next month, so they will go with Ji Ying.

The topography of this Anlu County is low in the south and high in the north, and the south is Yunmengze, which is fertile and horizontal, and is called "Yunmengxiang"; In the middle, there is a river water flowing through, converging into Yunmengze, there is a river valley plain, which is "the water town"; The north is a hilly hill, with a beautiful layer, and it is also where the county seat is located, so the two of them slowly went north along the road on the bank of Yunmengze.

After a night of showers, Yunmeng Daze regained his calm, the fish jumped out of the water, the egret paced slowly on the shallows, Ji Ying is a local soldier, very familiar with this area, plus he is a talkative, so he has been introducing the terroir to Heifu all the way.

"Heifu, you know that this Anlu County, and even the entire Nan County, was still the land of Chu more than fifty years ago."

"Nature knows."

Heifu nodded, Nanjun was Hubei Province in later generations, and it was also the hinterland of the former Chu State, and Jiangling, the seat of governance, was Yingcheng, the capital of Chu. A few decades ago, the general of the Qin State attacked Chu in Bai, and the battle of Yanying drowned more than 100,000 Chu people, and the Chu army was scattered. King Xiang of Chu abandoned the capital and fled to the east, and then Qu Yuan was sad and angry and threw himself into the river. Counting up, three generations ago, Heifu Ancestor was also a Chu person, and the Chu sound has not changed so far.

"Then you should know that this Yunmengze area is the hunting garden of the king of Chu, my grandfather once told me about the hunting grandeur of the king of Chu back then, it is said that it is a thousand times a knot, the flag covers the sky, and the tiger is chased all over the ground, and a bow can shoot an elk to death......"

After speaking, Ji Ying licked his lips again, and talked all the way, Heifu almost understood the temperament of this peer, he was mouthy, clever, and a little greedy, so he laughed at him and said, "Don't you want to eat meat again?" ”

"Who wouldn't?"

Ji Ying asked rhetorically, but patted his thin belly and sighed: "It's a pity that Yunmengze has dried up a lot recently, and all kinds of wild things have migrated to other places, even if it is Xiao Ze, who can fish near the road, no one dares to go now." ”

Hefch said: "Why is that? ”

"Because recently, many dead people have fled south and escaped into the river to become thieves! I have heard that many merchants and fishermen passing through this place have been robbed of their property and killed themselves! The county repeatedly ordered nearby pavilions to chase and suppress, but the thieves always escaped. That's why I've asked you to go with you. ”

"Dead are thieves?" Heifu's heart couldn't help but move, looking into the distance, where the water is continuous and the shrubs are growing, it is indeed a good place to fall into the grass and rob the house.

Nanjun and the Jiangnan region of Chu are intertwined, where mountains and forests are dense, rivers and lakes are crisscrossed, whether it is the dead people who evaded military service in Qin State, or the displaced people on the Chu State, they all like to run to Yunmengze.

In an official document "Yushu" in April this year, even Nanjun Tai Shouteng reluctantly admitted that Nanjun was the most obscene and worst public security area among the counties of Qin. Anlu County is the hardest-hit area, there are many groups of thieves on the shore, and the people in this area dare not go out alone.

Heifu is not afraid, he didn't stay in vain for three years at the police academy, he still learned some fighting skills, and it was easy to deal with one or two bandits, so he patted the short sword on his waist and said with a smile: "If those thieves don't have long eyes and rob you and me, then they can be regarded as picking the wrong person!" ”

"Heyman!" Ji Ying laughed, he also danced with his eyebrows, patted his chest and bragged: "Actually, I also have some martial arts, in Zhuanshui Township, who doesn't know Ji Ying's name in the estuary......"

Heifu looked at his skinny monkey-like figure and smiled silently.

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, at the end of the path hidden by the bushes in front, there were countless mallard ducks that were startled, and then, there was a hoarse cry for help: "There are thieves!" Help me! Help!"

"Thieves?" Ji Ying, who was still ashamed just now, immediately fell to the ground with a spirit.

Heifu stood up straight, squinted at what was happening, and saw a man in the distance crawl out of the bushes and run wildly towards the side of the road, and in a short time a few more ragged men with weapons in hand ran after him, and chased after him with hideous faces.

The direction in which they ran away and chased was exactly where Heifu and Ji Ying were!

"One, two, three, four......"

Ji Ying counted the number of people slightly, and retreated in his heart: "There are four thieves, and they are still holding sharp blades, I'm afraid we can't deal with them, Heifu, you and I better avoid it......"

No one answered, and when Ji Ying turned around, he was surprised to find that Heifu had already got up and strode out!

"What are you doing?"

Ji Ying was shocked, she wanted to run away by herself, but she remembered something, hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth, and followed out, scolding while chasing: "Heifu, you don't want to die!" ”

Heifu turned around and found that Ji Ying actually followed, he couldn't help but glance at him, and said with a smile: "The land here is wide and flat, we can't hide, and we can't run far, it's better to help that person, three against four, not necessarily lose." Besides, if you don't save yourself when you see death, and the government knows about it afterwards, you and I will both be punished. ”

In his previous life, he was a person with a very positive outlook, and his friends said that he had a chivalrous spirit. After entering the police academy, I have a greater sense of responsibility.

Now that the second is a human being, in the face of thieves blocking the road, looting and killing, Heifu still chooses the road without hesitation and roars when he sees injustice, and he will shoot when he should shoot!

Besides, the eldest brother once mentioned that in the Qin State, if you don't save yourself when you see death, you will be punished, and if you can catch the thief, you will be rewarded!

The long-sought opportunity is right in front of you, so what are you waiting for?

He strode forward, drew the short sword at his waist, and held it back with his right hand like a fighting dagger, and let out the first long roar since coming to this era!

"Thief, Heifu is here, Hugh has to be presumptuous!"
