Chapter 498: Seeing the Sun

Situ sat behind the bookcase, his eyes looking at the two kneeling below.

"You two know how to shoot arrows?"

The faces of the two kneeling in the hall couldn't help but froze, and their eyes showed a look of confusion, not knowing what the connection between today's case and archery was.

But he still said truthfully:

"Adults, small ones can shoot arrows!"

Situ Xing couldn't help nodding secretly, knowing that Bei County is located at the junction of Daqian and other regions, there are many garrisons, and there are often turmoil, so the young and strong here are more or less proficient in martial arts.

Archery is also one of the six arts of a gentleman, and even if he is a scholar, he is also good at archery.

"Someone!"

"Fetch a bow and arrow, and a target!"

Situ Xing turned his head and ordered.

"No!"

"No!"

Although the official in the soap coat was as confused as everyone else, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and turned to leave.

After a while, the two of them came back with a tall arrow target and a longbow on their backs.

"This!"

"This!"

"This!"

"What is this desire?"

The two people kneeling in the lobby, as well as the onlookers, looked at the towering arrow target and the two-stone strong bow, their eyes showed a look of confusion, and they looked at Situ Xing with some surprise.

I don't know what he means.

"My lord, what is this?"

The plaintiff, who was kneeling on the ground, took a look at it and asked a little confused.

Situ Xing didn't sell it, cleared his throat, and said with a solemn face:

"The lawsuit you are waiting for is really difficult to decide!"

"For this reason, the official has come up with a solution. ”

"Since you are good at archery. ”

"Why not use archery to decide victory or defeat?"

"This!"

"This!"

The eyes of the two people who knelt on the ground couldn't help but widen, and their faces suddenly showed a look of disbelief.

Using archery to determine the outcome of a lawsuit?

Isn't this too child's play!

Not only did they think so, but the faces of the onlookers also showed a hint of strangeness.

Throughout the ages, how could there have been such judgments?

"My lord, this?"

The bitter lord who knelt on the ground looked at Situ Xing, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"If the case is not solved, it will be decided by archery!"

Situ nodded heavily and said affirmatively.

"This is true in this case, and it is true in other cases!"

Although Situ Xing's words are tongue-twisting, they are very simple, that is, as long as there are some cases that are difficult to judge and hesitate to decide, the winner will be determined by archery.

If you want to win, it's very simple, and that is to practice archery!

After all, the rules are fair to everyone, and if you lose, don't complain, you can only blame yourself for not being as good as others.

"Good!"

"Good!"

The two of them were obviously very confident in their archery skills, so when they heard Situ Xing say this, they nodded and agreed without hesitation.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

When the onlookers saw the excitement, they naturally did not object, and they all cheered, making the already hot atmosphere even more fanatical.

。。。。

Quiver!

Quiver!

Quiver!

Long arrows shoot across the air.

The sound of long arrows falling on targets can be heard everywhere in Zhibei County.

Archery!

In Zhibei County, every household is now practicing.

Regardless of gender, young and old, they can practice their skills on the target when they have nothing to do.

I am afraid that when I sue again, I will be judged to lose because I am not good at "archery".

"Your Excellency!"

"You're a god!"

"There is no waste of silver and silver. ”

"As long as we persist like this, in less than two years, Zhibei County will have tens of thousands of more string controllers out of thin air!"

"With the help of tall city walls, even if there are tens of thousands of enemy troops besieging it, it can hold out for months without breaking!"

Jin Wansan stood there with his palms drooping, looking at Situ Xing with a look of amazement.

After hearing Jin Wansan's report, Situ Xing couldn't help but show a satisfied look on his face. The eyes are slightly squinted, and the head is slightly bowed.

Jin Wansan said a little exaggerated. ”

Zhibei County is too small, and the population is not too large, in his opinion, even if everyone practices, it is impossible to have tens of thousands of string controllers. ”

"Still, there are thousands more!"

Think of thousands of archers standing on top of the tall walls, hiding behind rocks, and constantly throwing arrows from the sky.

One!

Two sticks!

Three!

Ten sticks!

100 sticks!

。。。。

As you can imagine, tens of thousands of arrows are thrown from high in the air, forming a dense rain of arrows.

Sharp arrows like prismatic arrows easily pierced through the armor of the soldiers, and the thick fur of the horses burst out with bright sparks.

One corpse after another lay down, and one by one life withered.

"With these people who control the strings, even if the enemy attacks the urn city, this official is confident that the enemy will be outside the city wall and ensure that Zhibei County will not be lost!"

Thinking of the apocalyptic scene, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but show a trace of excitement.

To be honest, this situation was deliberately caused by his guidance.

At that time, there were actually other ways to adjudicate the case, and there was one of the simplest and most commonly used methods, which was to leave it to fate.

Draw lots to decide the winner!

But why should archery decide the winner?

This contains the mind of Si Tu.

That is to set off a trend of archery for the whole people.

This is also a big difference between Legalism and Confucianism.

The difference between the ideas of the pre-Qin Legalists and the later generations is very large.

The pre-Qin Legalists encouraged the people to cultivate and fight, plough to make a life, and war to make meritorious service.

The core of Legalism is cultivation and warfare!

Not so in the Hereafter.

The emperors of later generations were worried that the people would rebel, and put forward the idea of "chivalry with force and ban, and Confucianism with literature to break the law".

Especially in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this kind of thinking was pushed to the extreme.

Literary inquisition!

Martial Force!

I don't know how many literati have been harmed, and how many innocent people have been affected.

The most important thing is that he wiped out the blood of the people. The rest is servile. It is precisely for this reason that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the country was full of disasters and difficulties.

Situ Xing was a Legalist and inherited the mantle of the pre-Qin dynasty.

And with the vision of later generations, he naturally does not want to follow in the footsteps of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After I took office, I pondered every day.

Because the geographical location of Zhibei County is really special.

Located at the junction of Daqian, the wilderness and the outer regions, it is unceremoniously a land of a hundred battles.

Without the practice of farming and warfare, there is no way to survive.

It is for this reason that it is also possible.

Situ not only comprehended the methods of cultivation and warfare in the Book of Shang Jun, but also thought of several possibilities in combination with the actual situation.

Tibetan soldiers are in the people, and if they enter, they will be farmers, and if they go out, they will be soldiers.

It is similar to the "People's War Ocean" of Taizu in later generations.

But Rao is that he has the vision and experience of the future, and he also has a cheating weapon like the idea of six thunder tribulations, and there is no good way for a while.

100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers.

It's easy to say!

But how do you turn these 100,000 young people into 100,000 soldiers?

Compulsion?

Military service?

However, the population of Zhibei County is not large, and if all the people are in the barracks, then who will farm? Who will work?

Yesterday's lawsuit made his eyes light up. After a few days of trouble, I suddenly felt like I could see the sun.
