Chapter 13 New Year in October?

(Ahem, I was busy with code words and forgot to update, ⊙_⊙b sweat)

Qin is a country of lords, in order to let people see the status at a glance, each title has a unique logo.

Shiwu is also known as Qianshou, as it is intended, it is a black coarse cloth, wrapped in a bun.

The duke is the lowest rank, and the brown scarf on the bun is its symbol.

Of course, there is actually no awarding ceremony for the public servants, just a piece of cloth on their heads, and they can't make people treat each other differently, because there are many public servants with brown cloths on their heads on the street, at most they can exchange the envious eyes of Ji Ying and other soldiers.

Heifu originally wanted to thank Xi again, but there was no mention of Xi, maybe he, who was blind to the law of the Qin State, left with the reward in his hands.

But Xi had already gone home, but his subordinate congratulated Heifu with a smile and talked to them.

Le told Heifu that the county would immediately issue a document asking him to change his identity record in the township where he was from. The county has also replaced Heifu's inspection and traditions, and now on the newly issued ID card, he is already a "public Heifu".

At the same time, the government will grant him the treatment of a hectare of land and a house, that is, a hundred acres of land and a homestead of 30 steps square, on which Heifu can build his own house, but these things are more troublesome, and it cannot be done without ten days and half a month.

"When you return to the township after serving the guard, you will be able to see your fields and houses, and perhaps the government will assign a servant to help you plough the fields."

After Le confessed these things, he smiled bitterly: "Only Xijun will insist on trying the case on the first day of the new year, and will not let us rest and Mu, don't say anything, I have to go home quickly, otherwise my father will scold me." “

As he spoke, he left in a hurry, but before leaving, he hesitated, patted Heifu's shoulder, restrained his smile and said, "When you get to the guard, be careful......

Hefu couldn't understand his words for a while.

After leaving the county prison, Heifu stood at the gate, closed his eyes, and felt the sunshine of Hexi, this is the taste of freedom.

Looking back at the strict order in the county jail, and then looking at the lively crowds coming and going on the street, it was like a world away.

When he stepped here, he was still a small soldier who did not know the future, but now, he has taken the first step in this era and obtained the coveted knighthood.

But he is not satisfied, just a public servant, still not enough!

The reason why Heifu thinks this way is because during today's interrogation, just because the head of the Huyang Pavilion was a knight above the top of the building, he was exempted from the border and changed to a ghost salary, which gave him inspiration.

Through this lawsuit, Heifu realized that Qin's laws are so strict, and living in Qin, he may accidentally touch the red line and break the law one day.

If it is a flat-headed ordinary person or a public servant, how to punish it, how to punish it. However, if you have the title of above, you can atone for your sins and reduce your guilt.

"For the sake of your own life, you must at least ascend to the upper creation first, so that it is safer."

Thinking so, Heifu beckoned Ji Ying and wanted to report with him to the school field at the south gate of the county town - today is the day of their shift.

"Over now?"

Ji Ying looked unhappy and said, "Brother Heifu, although the service period cannot be delayed, didn't the jailer just say that we can postpone our service for one day." You and I have just won so much money, how can we not go for a good meal and celebrate first? Besides......"

He pointed to the bustling and lively crowd on the street and said, "Today is the Chinese New Year!" ”

"Chinese New Year?"

Heifu looked dazed and muttered: "Today is the first day of October, and it has just entered winter, what year is it?" ”

……

"Brother Heifu, you can speak well in the county prison and are very shrewd, but when you come out, you seem to be fascinated by a ghost, and you don't even know when the New Year will be?"

After half a ring, Ji Ying looked Heifu up and down, as if he was looking at a person who came back from a distant barbarian country, who had lived for seventeen or eighteen years, and he didn't even know when the New Year would be, and he was too confused about this day, or was he caught in an evil spirit, and his soul was hooked away by a ghost who specially deceived people?

"I've been in it for a long time, and I've made a slip of the tongue for a while, and I've made a slip of the tongue for a while......"

Heifu knew that he was making a joke, so he had to prevaricate, and at the same time slandered: "I don't study the ancient calendar, at most I know some historical events, how can I know that in the Qin Kingdom, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!" ”

It turns out that the Qin calendar is not only very different from the Gregorian calendar of later generations, but also different from the summer calendar (lunar calendar), but a unique "颛顼 calendar". The biggest feature of this calendar is that it begins with the month of Jianhai Mengdong, that is, the first day of October in the lunar calendar, so this day is indeed the first day of the Lunar New Year......

Looking at the officials at all levels who come in and out of the county jail and the county temple, and those who have knights, when they meet each other, they will smile and say, "Zhengdan is fine." "It's time for the New Year.

When they left the county jail, the jailer Le told them that they were allowed to go to the place where they were allowed to serve the shift one day later because they had been delayed for a long time in order to cooperate with the trial, which meant that they would only use it tomorrow......

So Heifu put his mind at ease, and with a trace of curiosity, walked around the county town of Anlu on the first day of the "Lunar New Year".

Anlu County is an ancient city, it is said that it was built by King Zhao of Chu when Wu Shi entered Yingying in the Spring and Autumn Period three hundred years ago, and I don't know whether it is true or not, anyway, in the hundreds of years of Chu rule, it was an important transportation hub in the Jianghan region. After this place was occupied by the Qin State, it continued to develop, and now the circumference of the city is five or six miles, there are 3,000 households, and the population is nearly 20,000, which is a well-deserved big county.

The county seat can be roughly divided into two urban districts, east and west, the west city is close to the water, there is a small ferry, is the location of Luli (residential area) and the market. Dongcheng is close to Quyang Lake, it is said that it used to be the palace of the king of Chu, and now it has been converted into an official temple, and the county prison where the black husband and they stayed for many days is here.

This afternoon, officials of all sizes can take a break, and the Guansi District is relatively deserted, and after leaving Dongcheng and entering Lilu District, the atmosphere of the New Year will be more intense.

I saw that the lords who lived in the city walked on the road one after another, or wore newly sewn winter clothes, or grabbed chickens and ducks, carried dog legs, and fresh fish, which was equivalent to purchasing New Year's goods.

In the distance, you can see someone replacing the peach charm for the inner door, which is a rectangular peach board, and the two gods of "Shen Tu" and "Yu Lei" are written on the board, which are used to exorcise ghosts, and the people of Qin believe in this set.

"In China, no matter which dynasty or generation, the Chinese New Year is the New Year......

Looking at this scene of the New Year's Festival, Heifu felt a little lonely for some reason.

Yes, during the Chinese New Year, he should be reunited at home, but whether it is the home of the previous life or the home of the Qin State, he can't go back now.

Ji Ying on the side was also so angry that he stomped his feet: "It's really unlucky, it's the turn of this New Year's Day to come out and go straight up!" Where did I offend the right? ”

Then he asked Heifu: "Brother Heifu, isn't your family also having a grudge against the local community?" That's why he was instructed to serve. ”

It turned out that in the Qin State, all adult men who met their height and age had to register their names and serve one month of service in the county every year. Li Zheng will rank all the school-age people in Lizhong, and everyone will take turns to serve in order, which is called "service first". As for the order of serial numbers, it is generally based on the formation of each family's tith and army, but it does not rule out the possibility of artificial operation and queue cutting.

When Ji Ying asked, Heifu remembered this stubble: "My eldest brother is with the local Lizheng, it seems that there is really a holiday, and my mother also complained a few words when I left home......"
