"Adults and slow, I am a scholar from Shandong, and I want to enter the Qin State. Before entering the office, I want to understand the national conditions of Qin, and I want to go with the adults to check and check, I don't know if it is possible? Qin Yiren stepped forward and said with a smile to Cao Xian.

The county Cao looked at Qin Yiren, nodded with a smile, and said, "It turned out to be a Shandong scholar, and I am fortunate to be happy." Dare to ask where is Xianxiang? I am from the Qi country. ”

"You are also a Shandong scholar? Fortunately, I will be honored. Qin Yiren made a gesture of affection and said with a smile: "I am a native of Handan in Zhao Kingdom, and my name is Zhao Yi." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Zhao. My name is Xu Cheng. County Cao smiled more kindly, and said: "Before joining the office, you should learn more about the national conditions of the Qin State, Brother Zhao's idea is very good." If Shang Jun hadn't spent a few months walking through the mountains and rivers of the Qin Kingdom, there would not have been the famous 'Nine Strategies for Strong Qin', let alone Shang Jun's Law, which is very necessary. Brother Zhao, come with me. ”

It is not uncommon to meet scholars from Shandong in the Qin State, because three or four percent of the officials of the Qin State are from Shandong, and as many as six or seven percent of the officials are from Shandong. However, they are also from Shandong, after all, they have a common topic, so they are naturally much closer, and Xu Yanyan smiled.

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Qin Yiren and Xu Cheng walked side by side.

He was eager to see with his own eyes how the officials of the Qin State handled these matters, and at the same time, he also wanted to see with his own eyes the residences of the countrymen.

The rise and fall of a country can be seen from the residence of its people, and this opportunity cannot be missed.

Xu Cheng introduced Qin Yiren: "There are many people in Shandong in Qin, and the Qin people will not exclude us, and we don't have to look at Shangguan's face, we just need to do things well." I. It was originally a cloth cloth in Linzi, Qi State. It is very undesirable in the country of Qi. In desperation, he worked tirelessly and came to Qin. Originally, I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Qin, I realized how ignorant it was to scold Qin in Shandong, and they were talking nonsense with their eyes open. I can read and write, and I can do things well. I went to the Qin State Government Mansion and was selected. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, was quite proud, and said: "I have been in Qin for three years, and I have been promoted to the county Cao. In a few years, with some work, I will rise again. It is good to be an official in the Qin State, as long as you do your best, the Qin State does not ask whether you are rich or low. Only ask about talent and merit. ”

His words were sincere and not false. Qin Yiren believed that what he said was true, and said with a smile: "Then I have to congratulate you on your early promotion." ”

"Huh." Xu Cheng was very happy, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask Brother Zhao, is it for an official or an official?" ”

An official refers to an official, and an official refers to a person who does things, which is equivalent to a modern "civil servant", and there is a big difference between the two.

"I want to get a job as a county warden." Qin Yiren's head was raised, his chest was straight, and he was extremely confident: "Fang is not in vain what I have learned." ”

"The county guard?" The county guard is a high-ranking official, Qin State attaches great importance to it, every county guard is a thousand choices, Xu Cheng was surprised, opened a pair of eyes and looked at Qin Yiren well, and said with a smile: "Disrespectful, it turns out that Brother Zhao has the talent of warp and weft." If Brother Zhao is really so ambitious, I think you should go to Chencang Chenjia Village to have a look. ”

"Oh. Is there a saying? Xu Zhite's mention must be insightful, Qin Yiren asked hurriedly.

"When Shang Jun entered Qin, he lived in Chencang Chenjia Village." Xu Cheng looked reverent, and said with a smile: "I have also been there, and the villagers are still praising some anecdotes about Shangjun." If Shang Jun had not lived in Chenjia Village, there would have been no such thing as 'changing customs'. ”

"Changing customs and customs" is an important part of Shang Ying's reform, and it is actually related to Chenjia Village, Qin Yiren's curiosity was aroused, and he asked: "Can Brother Xu elaborate?" ”

"This ...... Brother Zhao went and saw for himself. Xu Cheng thought for a while, did not explain to Qin Yiren, and said: "Shang Jun's change of customs is not trivial, and this has a far-reaching impact on the Qin State. At the time of the Shang Emperor's change of law, the Qin State was on the verge of extinction, internal and external troubles, the people were not able to make a living, the people could not eat enough, the clothes were not warm, the thieves swarmed, and the weapons were fighting. After the Shang monarch changed customs, the Qin people were simple and simple, and they did not leave anything behind, and they did not close their doors at night. ”

"Don't leave it behind? Staying at night? It can't be, right? Zhao Ji was incredulous.

The road is not forgotten, and the night is not closed, this is the royal atmosphere, which only exists in "poems" and "books", how can there be in reality, Qin Yiren also has some disbelief. The predecessor really doesn't have much memory in this regard.

"It's true." Xu Cheng nodded heavily, very determined.

After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin people were simple and simple, the Tao was not expensive, and the night was not closed, and the historical records were clear. This is something that even those who call Qin Guo a tiger and a wolf, and who are cruel and unkind, have to admit it. For example, Feng Menglong rarely sighed in "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", this is the royal atmosphere.

As he was talking, he came to the door of a house, and the head of the family was already waiting.

Qin Yiren took a look, and saw that this was a tile house, there were not many houses, only three, but the windows were bright and clean, dry, and the ventilation conditions were good, which was very suitable for living people.

When I entered the house, I saw that the house was very tidy, very clean, no dust and debris, no smell, and a fresh breath.

"This ...... If it is in Shandong, it must be the residence of a large family. Zhao Ji looked at it for a while, surprised.

"That's right." Qin Yiren nodded heavily, agreeing with this.

"Huh." The head of the family was very happy and proud, and said: "The land of Shandong scolds us Qin as barbarians, and they are barbarians. Oh no, the barbarians look up to them, they're pigs, they live in a pigsty, can they have such a good place to live as we are? ”

This is boastful, but it makes a lot of sense.

In Qin Yiren's impression, the land of Shandong is full of hunger, and there are many poor people, such as the residence in front of him, which is already a rare place to live in Shandong, and the rich people don't think about it. And in the Qin State, this is the residence of ordinary Chinese cloth clothes, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe that it was true if you killed Qin Yiren.

"Qin's wealth can be seen from this." Qin Yiren was very emotional.

After checking this one, there was no problem, and I went to another one. This is a thatched house, and the situation at home is not as good as the one in Shicai, but it is still very clean and comfortable, and there is no pigsty feeling like a thatched house.

"Uncle, look at the situation of your family, it doesn't seem like you can't afford to build a Washer house, why do you still live in a thatched house?" Qin Yiren's vision is good, and he found that this house is actually quite solid.

"Huh." The head of the family smiled: "Childe has good eyesight." It's not that I can't afford to build a washer, it's that I don't plan to build it. My family Ding Xingwang, I have four sons, the eldest died on the battlefield in World War II, and the third and fourth are left. I donated the surplus food from my family to the government to get a knighthood for them. When they are knighted, it will not be too late for me to build Vasher. ”

"I see." Qin Yiren was stunned.

Title, that is a symbol of status, in the land of Shandong, the title is exclusive to the nobles, don't even think about the common people, even if you make great contributions, don't want to get a knight.

In the Qin State, everyone can get a knighthood, and if there is no military exploits, they can donate grain. It is precisely because of this that the Qin people worked very hard, fought desperately, and planted crops as hard, so that the Qin country was very rich.

"The Qin State is different, everyone can get a knight." Lu Jujian is very envious, and his eyes are full of wonderful little stars.

He was originally a slave, and it was questionable whether he could have freedom or not. He had long heard rumors that the Qin State was a paradise for slaves, and now that he could see it with his own eyes, if this was the case, he couldn't help but be very emotional.

"Little doll, you don't want to admire me, as long as you are willing to work hard, what is it to be a knight, it is not a problem to be a big official." A word of encouragement from the head of the house.

"I'll do my best." Lu Jujian nodded heavily.

Looking at it one by one, the dwellings are different, there are tile houses and thatched houses, but there is one thing in common, that is, it is very neat, very clean, and suitable for home.

"Those who scold the Qin State as a tiger and wolf in later generations should see it with their own eyes, and they will know how ignorant they are!" Qin Yiren was very emotional.

In the past, his impression of Qin was mostly the memory of his predecessor, and he didn't know much about it. Now, he has witnessed with his own eyes that the rumors are misleading, the history books are misleading, the Qin people are rich, living and working in peace and contentment, such a country is actually scolded as "tyrannical Qin" and "cruel and unkind", it is really blindless.

This should be called benevolence!

What is benevolence? It is not the way of the sages that the scholars blow, but let the people of the country have food, clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment, this is the best benevolent government!

After checking, Qin Yiren said goodbye, took the group and embarked on the road of understanding the national conditions of Qin again.

When she came to the road, Zhao Ji rolled her eyes and said, "I don't believe that it is really unfounded, I'll try it." As she spoke, she took out a piece of high-grade jade and threw it on the road, saying, "If it is really not forgotten, someone will send it to me." ”

Xu Cheng said that he didn't leave it unforgotten, and he didn't close his door at night, which was really hard to believe.

Wealth is moving, how can I see such a beautiful jade who doesn't love.

"Madam, you are not a Qin person, you don't know the Qin people, I bet that this beautiful jade will return to you in three days." Meng Zhao said to Zhao Ji.

"That's right." Ma Gai and Fan Tong echoed in unison.

"Three days? I don't believe it. Zhao Ji shook her head.

Qin Yiren shook his head, Zhao Ji really had nothing to do, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to test it, so he didn't stop it.

That night, they borrowed to stay in a house. At night, Qin Yiren paid special attention to it, and saw that few people in the vicinity closed the door. As a result, nothing happened that night, and everything was uneventful.

The next day, Qin Yiren paid more attention, and everywhere he went, he saw that Qin people were very busy, busy collecting firewood, tidying up their homes, and preparing for the next year's spring planting. Those who are not at home, with their doors open, are not worried at all.

"Is it really that the Tao is not forgotten and the door is not closed at night?" Zhao Ji's confidence was a little shaken.

That afternoon, Xu Cheng's words were confirmed. Two officials arrived on horseback and brought Zhao Ji's beautiful jade.

"How did you know it was mine?" Zhao Ji was surprised.

"Such a beautiful jade, it's not waiting for idlers to have it, we just need to check if there are nobles nearby." These two officials explained what was going on.

"It's really a matter of not leaving it unturned, and never closing the door at night! Elephant of the royal road! Qin Yida was very emotional.

Zhao Ji's piece of jade is worth a lot of money, and it is very valuable. If there were such good things in modern society, they would have been appropriated by greedy officials long ago. (To be continued.) )
