Chapter 5 Anecdotes of Shang Jun

The sound of the car was rustling, the horses' hooves were rumbling, and Qin Yiren and his party were rushing towards Chen Cang.

Xu Zhite mentioned Chencang Chenjia Village, which is the place where Shang Jun's idea of "changing customs and customs" germinated, which has extraordinary significance, and Qin Yiren naturally wants to go to see what happens.

"Changing customs and customs" is an extremely important one of the "Nine Policies for Strengthening Qin", because the implementation of this policy has changed the atmosphere of the Qin people, and the entire Qin State has been twisted into a rope.

Prior to this, it was very common for the Qin State to fight with weapons, disagree, draw swords against each other, and fight to the death in the Qin State. This kind of thing, the government will not care, no one will pay attention. According to historical records, there are no less than tens of thousands of Qin people killed and injured every year because of weapon fighting.

At that time, the Qin State was very weak, almost the size of Shaanxi Province, with a small population, and tens of thousands of casualties a year, which was a huge loss for the Qin State.

Why did the Qin State have such a fierce folk customs? It is because the national conditions of the Qin State are different, and the Qin State is composed of many Rong tribes, which starts from the place where Qin Xianggong entered Guanzhong.

The Qin tribe was originally a nomadic people in the Longxi River Valley, because this tribe was brave and good at fighting, and was famous far and wide. What's more, this tribe is very good at raising horses, and there are more good horses, and Zhou Tianzi appreciates it very much, so he wants the Qin tribe to sacrifice horses.

Therefore, those who slandered Qin Shi Huang in later generations said that Qin Shi Huang's ancestors raised horses for Zhou Tianzi and had a low status, which is how fallacious it is.

There is no need to say that there is a big difference between "raising horses" and "sacrificing horses".

After King Zhou You's "Beacon Fire Opera Princes", he made the heavens angry and resentful, and he was even killed by the dog Rong. The dog Rong broke through the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Hojing, and took it as his own and did not withdraw.

The crown prince at that time. The later King Ping of Zhou was cornered. Ask for help. Qi and Jin, these big vassal states, didn't want him, he really had no choice, trekked through mountains and rivers, came to the land of Longxi, and asked to see Qin Xianggong. After Qin Xianggong heard about it, he didn't say a word, and immediately ordered 50,000 soldiers and horses to kill Ben Ho Jing. Defeated Inurong and regained Hokyo.

King Ping of Zhou saw that Hojing was ruined, and decided to move east to Luoyang, and Chinese history entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period began.

Before moving eastward, King Ping of Zhou rewarded the land of Haojing and Qifeng to the Qin tribe. This was a major event in Chinese history, and from then on, the Qin tribe moved from the Longxi River Valley to Guanzhong and officially became princes, and a period of iron-blooded conquest began. After hundreds of years of fighting, the Qin state finally unified China.

After the Qin tribe entered Guanzhong. Faced with a very cruel reality, that is, facing the tremendous pressure of the Xijon tribes.

As we all know, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, China faced four directions of Rongdi: North Di, South Barbarian, East Yi, and West Rong.

Xirong is the nomads in the west of Shaanxi, these nomads will attack the land of Guanzhong from time to time, making Guanzhong chickens and dogs restless, King Zhou Ping's eastward migration has a great relationship with this, perhaps he is afraid of Xirong, and wants to take this opportunity to hide far away.

The land and cities that King Zhou Ping rewarded to the Qin tribe were just "empty checks", because these places were still in the hands of Xirong. Qin Xianggong was not afraid, and led the Qin tribe to fight with Xirong to recapture these land cities, and the Qin tribe became stronger.

Since then, wars between the Qin tribe and Xirong have been frequent, lasting for hundreds of years, with heavy casualties on both sides. It wasn't until the time of Qin Mugong that Qin Mugong worshiped the Rong people and made Yu the military advisor, allowing him to attack Xirong with his hands and feet, destroying more than 20 countries, and the trouble of Xirong in Qin State subsided.

The merger of these Xirong people into the Qin State certainly increased the population and strength of the Qin State. The problem also comes, that is, the composition of the people of the Qin State is extremely complex, and each tribe has its own customs, and evil customs abound in the Qin State.

Their common characteristic is that the people are fierce, disagree, draw their swords against each other, and talk about it after they have done it. Therefore, the duels of the Qin State became the most famous among the seven warring states.

In order to solve this problem, Shang Ying decided to "change customs", unify the customs and habits of the Qin people, and forbid armed fighting. Over time, the Qin people were "timid in private fights and brave in public wars", and they looked at the world and fought terrified the six countries of Shandong.

If it weren't for Shang Ying's article of "changing customs and customs", the Qin State would not be as strong as it is now.

And this decision was germinated in Chenjia Village in the land of Chencang, and Qin Yiren was thinking, what did Shang Ying see in Chenjia Village? For this reason, he was determined to find out.

Chencang, in the western part of Guanzhong, close to the Qinling Mountains, has many lofty mountains and mountains, and is very remote.

"Oh my God, so many mountains! What a big mountain! Zhao Ji and Lu Jujian saw it in their eyes, they were surprised and exclaimed.

"This is the Qin State, and there are many mountains in the west. Do you think it's the land of Handan in Zhao Kingdom? In Handan, if you want to see the mountains, you can only look at Handan, and compared with here, Handan is not a fart. Meng Zhao smiled at Lu Jujian.

The Qin State is known as the "Country of the Four Stops", that is because there are big mountains in the four directions of the east, west, north and south of the Qin State, and these mountains are very tall and large, and the mountains are everywhere.

"It's almost there. In front is Chenjia Village. Qin Yiren rode on his horse and pointed ahead.

The administrative system of the Qin State was divided into six levels: state, county, county, township, pavilion, and village, and the village was the smallest administrative unit with a village head.

The group followed an avenue into the mountains. The further you go in, the steeper the mountain becomes. Qin Yiren and his party walked in the mountain valley for a full hour before they arrived at their destination: Chenjia Village.

"Not really." Qin Yiren looked at it, Chenjia Village was not big, but there were only thirty or fifty households.

"Childe, how big can this kind of village in the mountains be?" Meng Zhao smiled and explained to Qin Yiren.

It is also said that the villages in the mountains are often very small, and it would be nice to have 30 households.

"Shang Jun has been here? In this place, Shang Jun has been here? Zhao Ji was surprised.

Shang Jun's name has been immortalized through the ages, and it was he who single-handedly created the powerful Qin State and laid a solid foundation for the unification of China. Even those who scolded him had to admit that Shang Jun had the talent to go through heaven and earth, and he was a rare genius in Chinese history!

"Of course Shang Jun has been here." As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, someone immediately took over the conversation, only to see the door of a courtyard in front of him open, and an old man with white hair walked out, and couldn't help but look at Qin Yiren and them.

"You're here to hang Shang Jun?" The old man looked at it for a while, and then asked.

"That's right." Qin Yiren nodded heavily. Said: "My name is Zhao Yi. Shandong reader. If you want to seek a career in the Qin State, some people say that if you want to seek a career in the Qin State, you must understand the affairs of Shangjun, so I came here to see Chenjia Village. ”

"Young man, you are quite knowledgeable, you are in the right place." The old man nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "I didn't tell you." There are a lot of people who come here every year. Almost everyone who wants to seek a high official in the Qin State has to come here. ”

Shang Jun's strategy of "changing customs and customs" is very famous, and it has made the Qin State strong, and it is not uncommon to come here, Qin Yiren asked with a smile: "Uncle, what did Shang Jun see here back then?" He decided to change the rules. ”

"Young man, guess what Shang Jun saw here back then?" The old man did not answer Qin Yiren's question, but asked a rhetorical question.

This question really stumped Qin Yiren. Furrowing his brows, he pondered.

"I guess. Shang Jun must have seen something extremely vicious, it can't be a tiger, right? ”

"A leopard, perhaps."

"It's also possible that there may be wild boars."

"Maybe it's a terrible thing."

Zhao Ji, Meng Wu, Meng Zhao, Ma Gai, Fan Tong and Lu Jujian opened their mouths, and they guessed everything they could.

The old man pricked up his ears and listened to them, but he shook his head fiercely and said, "No! Wrong! None of them are right! Let me tell you, Shang Jun saw a person, a woman, here back then! ”

"Women?" An exclamation sounded, and Qin Yiren and the others opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them for a long time.

Shang Jun practiced the strategy of "changing customs and customs", which had a far-reaching impact on the Qin State, they racked their brains, and thought that Shang Jun had encountered a major event that touched him very much, but they did not expect to meet a woman.

"Uncle, what Shang Jun met must be a strange woman? Isn't it talented? Zhao Ji hurriedly asked.

"Yes, yes."

"The woman who can make Shang Jun give birth to such a miraculous strategy must be amazing, amazing!"

Meng Zhao and the others echoed in unison.

Everyone has to admit that Shang Jun's talent is a rare genius in Chinese history, and the woman who can make Shang Jun sprout the idea of "changing customs" must be a great talent.

"Haha." The old man smiled very happily, tears were about to burst into laughter, and he pointed at Qin Yiren and said, "You guys are really interesting, you can really think about it." Shang Jun met a broken woman in our Chenjia Village who was illiterate, uninformed, and not yet successful. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Qin Yiren opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak for a long time, like toads holding their breath.

"You're not lying?" It took Qin Yiren a long time to react and hurriedly asked.

"Huh! Do I need to tell a lie? Come, come, I'll take you. The old man waved at Qin Yiren.

This thing is very strange, Qin Yiren and they hurriedly walked over, and the old man took them to a room and pointed out, "This is it." It was here that Shang Jun met our ancestors, the broken women you thought were strange women. ”

Qin Yiren took a look, this room was different, not very good, very shabby, I don't know how many years it was.

"It's been a hundred years, and we still keep it like this, this is the place where Shang Jun lived in Chenjia Village back then, it can't be damaged, you don't have to mess around." The old man admonished, opened the door and went in.

Qin Yiren went in and looked at it, only to see that this house had not been lived in for many years, and although it was clean, it was full of musty smell.

"That's it, Shang Jun slept in back then. It was on this couch that Shang Jun met the broken woman and came up with the idea of 'changing customs', which eventually became the national policy of Great Qin. The old man pointed to a small couch and talked about the past.

Shang Jun came here and stayed here. The owner of this family, according to their custom, asked his underage daughter to sleep with Shang Jun. Shang Jun politely declined. However, Shang Jun was greatly touched and inspired by this incident, and observed the situation of the family carefully, only to see that the family was sleeping in a room. In the evening, the old two, the middle two, the young two, and the little two...... Doing things together, that's called a dark place.

After careful consideration, Shang Jun finally decided to "change customs". (To be continued.) )
