"Your Majesty, that's what you really said?"

"-Your Majesty, is it really in front of the Hun mission that the Huns are 'Maodun old thieves'?"

A few days later, in the north of Chang'an, an inconspicuous teahouse.

Hearing the description of the officer's eyebrows flying, a group of big men who were resting in the teahouse couldn't help but surround them.

But when the official heard this, he still stood up very excitedly, simply stepped on the bench, and slapped his hand on his thigh!

"Hey!"

"You don't see the face of the Hun envoy;"

"-I've been on an errand for so many years, and I haven't had a human face in the year, and I can be so red!"

"Being trained by His Majesty like this, the Hun envoy was annoyed at the moment, but he was annoyed, and he didn't dare to say a word!"

"It's not;"

"The day before yesterday, early yesterday morning, before dawn, the Hun mission packed their bags in ashes and escaped while the night was dark~"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, as if everyone present had witnessed the scene when Liu Ying received the Hun mission that day.

After laughing for a while, everyone surrounded the official tighter, and looked at the official with full expectation.

"Let's talk about it!"

"Your Majesty, what else did you say?"

"Didn't you say that in the future, our Han family will never be with the Huns again?"

There was a gossip man's eager inquiry in his ears, but it made the official laugh and even hold it;

In the crowd, a figure who was obviously relatively decent walked out and went to buy a new bowl of tea for the officer, and the officer took a sip of it with satisfaction.

After a while, the area around the teahouse twenty or thirty paces became the storytelling ground of the officials.

"And pro?"

"Hey!"

"-Don't talk about harmony, even in the battle of Mayi, those Hun pawns captured by my Han family, Your Majesty has no intention of returning them at all!"

Another sentence whetted the appetite of the audience, but the official was not selling Guanzi, but dancing with his hands, restoring the scene that appeared in the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace the day before yesterday.

"On the day of the incident, as soon as the Hun thief entered the Xuanshu Palace, he pointed at His Majesty's nose and scolded!"

"- What do you say, the Huns have never violated the border wall of my Han family, they are all for the sake of Emperor Taizu Gao's face!"

"As soon as you say this, good fellow~"

"Those ministers and officials in the court, they are rushing forward one after another!"

"-I can't stop it!

！ ”

"If it weren't for Your Majesty to speak, 'cough cough' twice, and scared all the ministers back to their original positions, just those few Hun thieves, I'm afraid they would be torn apart by our Han family's ministers on the spot!"

Hearing the official say this, everyone present only clenched their teeth as if they felt empathy, and even several people secretly clenched their fists tightly.

"Hun thieves, they are brazen!"

"——Since the seventh year of beating Emperor Taizu Gao, the old thief ran to Daidi, provoking Emperor Taizu Gao to drive a personal expedition, in the past ten years, the side wall of our Han family, which year has it stopped?"

"This year's Aries Department, next year's Lou Fu Department, and the year after tomorrow, it will be this department and that department;"

"If it weren't for the fact that I was shorter and didn't accept me in the internal history, I would have hated to go to the land in person and kill the two Huns!"

"How can anyone be so bullied?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone followed the prestige, and saw a slightly short figure in the corner of the teahouse, standing on the tea table indignantly.

After a little glance, everyone understood: why was this person 'rejected' by Neishi to be recruited as a pawn.

The reason is very simple: today's Han family, although it is said to 'fully inherit the Qin system', but in terms of the law, it has a strong human touch.

Let's just say that this "Service Law", in the Qin Law, stipulates that as long as a man reaches the age, he must start to participate;

As long as the government draws you, then you must go!

Whether it is to build the Great Wall, or to repair the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in Lishan, or to fight the Huns outside the Great Wall, or to fight the Yue barbarians in Lingnan, there is no room for negotiation, and can only obey unconditionally.

If you don't go?

Hey!

- Let's find out how to sit together?!

Not only are there people who don't go, and their families have problems, but even neighbors, and even neighbors' families, are likely to be implicated!

On the other hand, in today's Han Dynasty, although the regulations on conscription and labor service also retain the flavor of the "Qin Law" to a certain extent, in essence, they are not the same thing at all.

According to the provisions of the Han Law, when a man reaches the age of Shifu, that is, when he begins to pay taxes and serve, he is also regarded as a reserve laborer.

When the court, or the local county, needs it, a part of these reserve labor forces will be drawn.

For example, in the first battle of Mayi, in addition to the two captains of Huben and Yulin, it was the standing field army that was personally controlled by Liu Ying, the son of heaven, who was mainly responsible for guarding the Beijing Division, and the other 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers, as well as several times the number of grain transporters, were all 'military service' drawn from all over Guanzhong.

For another example, when Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang was still alive and Liu Ying was still the crown prince, Taizu Liu Bang drove his own expedition to quell the rebellion of Chen Xuan, the prime minister of the dynasty;

At that time, the soldiers who followed Emperor Taizu on the expedition were also drawn from all over Guanzhong.

In this regard, the literal requirements of the "Qin Law" and the "Han Law" are as similar as more than ninety percent - both clearly stipulate that refusal to obey military service and hard labor is not allowed.

But the difference is that the "Qin Law" does not allow refusal to serve, it is really not allowed;

The "Han Law" does not allow the people to refuse to serve, but it is not allowed in principle.

What's going on?

Again, the court wants to requisition the people, and the local county draws from the reserve labor, and it just happens to draw you.

Under this premise, if you live in the reign of Qin Shi Huang, especially after the First Emperor unified the world, there are only two paths in front of you.

- Or, honestly leave a suicide note, and then obediently go to build the Great Wall;

Or, it is the same as Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, who 'had a home and couldn't go back' because of trouble: he absconded in fear of crime and fell into the grass.

And the result of the latter is very likely to be exiled to your whole family, and your neighbors will also be subjected to different degrees of corporal punishment.

But for the same thing, if you live in the Han family, the situation is very different.

- The labor has drawn you, do you want to go?

If you want to go, then you can go with confidence and boldness, and you don't have to worry about 'never going back'.

Because the Han family is subject to labor, they will not use you as an animal;

The chance of you dying directly outside, although it can't be said that there is none, is also so small that it is basically negligible.

Going to the sky, that is, digging canals, repairing straight roads, etc., is tired, but it is only a little tired.

If you don't want to go, it's not impossible.

If you have enough money, then you can go directly to the 'talent market', buy a slave and come back, and then let this personal property serve for you.

When he returns from service, he will still be your slave, and if you don't want it, you can still sell him at the original price;

As long as you can sell it at the original price, then you will not lose a dime when you buy and sell, and you will be served!

It doesn't matter if it's just a small amount of money, but you don't have the money enough to afford slaves;

You can take that little money and go around the market, and in less than half a day, you will definitely find someone who is willing to replace you.

Of course, there is a price.

- The person who goes to serve for you is equivalent to being hired by you for a short period of time, or 'leased';

As long as you give him some money, as mercenary money, and a month or two of rations, that is, two or three stones of corn, he will gladly serve you.

Because he didn't serve you, he would have to continue to live a miserable life of starvation and nine meals for three days.

Even to take a step back: you have a little money, which you can't afford to buy slaves, but you can definitely afford to hire people to serve you;

But you're a lazy person by nature, an otaku, or a person with deep social phobia, and you don't want to find someone you can hire yourself.

What should I do in this case?

It's still ~ no problem.

- Just give the government enough money to hire a person to serve for you;

Take your money, and the government will use the money to find you someone to serve you, and you don't need to worry about it at all.

In other words, the superiority of the "Han Law" over the "Qin Law" is precisely here.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, the "Qin Law" is strict, more legal, and more in line with the spirit of the rule of law.

However, if we look at it in light of the actual situation, for the Chinese civilization of this era, the legal system is really an overly advanced concept.

On the contrary, the "Han Law", which is obviously not so principled and cannot be stained with the words "spirit of the rule of law", has become the choice of the times.

And Fang Cai, the person who looked obviously less than six feet tall, said that he wanted to be a soldier, but was rejected by the internal history, precisely because of the unique 'backwardness' and 'ignorance' of "Han Law".

- The Han Law stipulates that adult men who are less than 6 feet 3 inches tall can be regarded as 'disabled' and are not required or able to perform military service or hard labor.

And six feet three inches, converted into the weights and measures of later generations, is about one meter four five.

Of course, six feet and three inches is not the requirement of the Han army for soldiers, but the judgment benchmark of the "Han Law" for the disabled, that is, patients with similar 'dwarfism'.

To this day, without exception, the Han army that is 'merit-based' is less than seven feet two inches (one meter 65) tall, and they can't even sign up!

When it comes to the stage of deciding to hire/eliminate, there is a situation of 'less than 7 feet 6 inches (1.75 meters), and they will go back to their respective homes with numbness, although it is not common, but it is not uncommon.

He looked at the short man with sympathy, and withdrew his gaze with a little embarrassment, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the official again.

"Your Majesty, who is that?"

"-Son of Heaven!"

"—Son of Tenjin Taiichi!"

"The Hun envoy spoke rudely, and His Majesty naturally disdained to deal with him, and only let the thief continue;"

"The result is good: the thief is still not ashamed, and he actually said anything, as long as His Majesty makes amends to the old thief, sends all the captives back, and then sends a princess to make peace, the old thief will forgive Your Majesty's mistakes!" ”

"Hey!"

"Tell me, how ridiculous this is······"

Hearing this, the crowd on the sidelines, I don't know if they were silent in Fang Cai, and they only raised their heads with worry on their faces because of their sympathy for the short man.

looked at the officer's gaze, and it was full of urgency.

Seeing this, the official also smiled slightly, withdrew his legs from the bench, and the battle board was upright, and he didn't forget to tidy up his clothes.

Then, between the eyebrows of the servant, a burst of deep reverence was born.

"Your Majesty told the thief: The rules of the grassland are not counted in our Han family!"

"According to the rules of our Han family, if you lose the battle, you have to kneel!"

"If you don't kneel, don't think about begging!

！ ”

The officer's suddenly solemn tone finally provoked the onlookers to subconsciously straighten their waists, and on their proud faces, they also vied to light up a pair of eyes full of expectation.

It was under this 'great expectation' that the official finally proudly said the last words that Liu Ying said to the Xiongnu envoy that day.

"Your Majesty said, in the battle of Mayi, it was my Han family who won!"

"Since it is my Han family who has won, the Huns who have lost should kneel!

”

"Your Majesty also said: I am willing to take the Great Wall as the boundary as the old thief said, and neither side will cross the Great Wall."

"-But this time, the Han-Hungarian border has been replaced by the Great Wall of Qin!"

"Your Majesty told the Hun thief that if the old thief was scared, he would return the land of Henan!"

"If you don't return it, this battle will have to continue!"

"If you don't take back the territory south of the Great Wall of Qin, Your Majesty will not give up!

！ ”

Hearing this, hundreds of people surrounded the teahouse inside and out, and they only applauded and cheered.

"Good!"

"Color! Color!

！ ”

"-Your Majesty, it is worthy of the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao!"

"Just these three or two sentences, we just haven't seen it with our own eyes, we can feel the majesty of His Majesty!

！ ”

"Is that not it?"

"—That's Your Majesty!"

"It's Your Majesty who gives us peasants a way to live and makes decisions for our peasants!

！ ”

Seeing that the crowd was noisy, the official finally smiled and lowered his head;

Picked up the crown hat on the wooden table, patted it casually, and made a gesture to leave.

When the servant walked to the door of the teahouse, he heard a question from the crowd.

"Huh?"

"In the first battle of Mayi, there were tens of thousands of Hun thieves who became prisoners of my Han family?"

"What does Your Majesty plan to do with these captives?"

"-Killed them all?"

"Or put it in the two cities of Chang'an, let us, the peasants, also buy a Hun slave to go home, help us plant the land, and then have nothing to do and whip up?"

Hearing this, the official only turned his head in the voice;

When he saw the looming businessman in the crowd, a touch of disdain immediately appeared on the face of the servant.

"You Jia people, you know the righteousness of your family and country!"

"—Your Majesty said!"

"Those Hun thieves must be encircled in Yan and Dai, and raise horses for my Han family!"

"When 1.8 million war horses are raised, Your Majesty will send all the soldiers and horses in the world, send him a cavalry of 3.5 million cavalry, and drive all the Hun barbarians raised by animals to the edge of the sky!

！ ”

"Your Majesty is so ambitious, how can you Jia people understand?!
