"Wang Jian destroyed the Three Kingdoms, and his son Wang Ben destroyed the Two Kingdoms, and His Majesty sealed the Wucheng and awarded him the Marquis of Wucheng.

"Suddenly weak for the sake of the world, do not hesitate to do this, do not hesitate to go vertically and horizontally. He stood opposite all the courtiers, raised his eyebrows and pointed coldly at Qianfu, and refuted the princes. His Majesty was overjoyed, and made an exception to be named the Marquis of Che, with what he had learned.

"The talented people in the Qin State are like stars in the sky, and they don't know how many. Wang Juan has not made any mistakes in his domestic affairs for ten years. Li Sishang's "Book of Expulsion of Guests" re-recruited the courtiers, and also admonished His Majesty's heart to unify the six countries...... Their credit to the Qin State is like galloping in the East China Sea, and they can't see the bottom.

"But the only one who seals the Marquis is Wang Qian, and the two of them are weak, so it can be seen that the Marquis is difficult to seal!

However, Meng Fu, who had not been on the battlefield for several years and had not done martial arts to the Qin State, died of illness, and Chang'an Jun wanted the position of Marquis for Meng Fu, and he was even called the champion. Yongguan whole army, this title is more respected than the most respected word 'Wu'an', and it has suppressed the famous generals of ancient and modern times.

"Your Majesty has acceded to such an unreasonable request. His Majesty took this advice on the grounds that Chang'anjun was famous in the court, which was to block Chang'anjun's mouth as the Marquis of Che - since Chang'anjun wanted to get rid of the nobles, why did the royal power make an exception and invite the Marquis Che?

"Your Majesty has already seen the thoughts of Chang'anjun and the teacher, this is definitely not untargeted, but intentional. There is no such thing as obscurity, and His Majesty will still push Chang'an Jun to a high point second only to the throne. With the prestige of His Majesty, this is not difficult to do, and it can be announced on the spot, and no one dares to disagree.

"Teacher, don't think too highly of Chang'anjun, and don't underestimate Your Majesty too much. His Majesty is on the throne, with his body, to do divine things, to the people of the world if they are not respectful of God, they will fear like a god, not by the blood of the Ying clan. It is the fearlessness of the people who have clear rewards and punishments, the martial arts of destroying the six countries, the cruelty of corpses for thousands of miles, the change of law, the change of division into counties, and the promulgation of decrees such as the same text, the same track, and the same line.

"Teacher, don't embarrass Your Majesty with Chang'anjun again. The nobility you are going to break is the privilege on which you depend. It is ridiculous to use the power given by heaven to defy the sky.

"Mencius said, 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world.'" The disciple is not a disciple of Mencius, the disciple is a disciple of Xunzi, and the disciple does not believe in Mencius's words. Therefore, the disciple begged the teacher, and also asked the teacher to persuade Chang Anjun to stop it.

"Two talents, ten Zhang Cang can't match it. But please let the two of you keep these talents alone, not the world. The world would be better without you. ”

After saying what he thought in one breath, Zhang Cang waited anxiously for the teacher's response.

In the past, he was taught, and this was the first time he had discussed with his teacher Xunzi, but he didn't expect it to be in such a fierce way.

"That's good, that's good."

Xunzi's joy was beyond words, but Zhang Cang, who was praised by his teacher for the first time in his life, was uncomfortable.

He chuckled dryly.

"Teacher, don't be scared."

He completely denied the teacher in the matter of the Qin State, and strongly criticized and condemned the teacher's actions. The teacher was not only not angry, but also praised him for being good.

He was afraid and frightened, worried that the teacher's next sentence would be "You are better than the blue, you don't have to study from me", so he naturally expelled him from the teacher.

"Green is taken from blue, and green is blue. Ice, water for it, and cold for water, you ......"

"Teacher, you fight the sky! Cang Fangcai nonsense! It's time to fight! ”

Zhang Cang hurriedly interrupted Xunzi's words and stretched out his chubby two big hands. It's like making a mistake in a class at the Jishita School Palace.,Closed your eyes tightly.,Your eyelids are constantly shaking.,Waiting to be beaten.。

The hotness of the palms of the hands did not wait, what was waiting for was the warmth of the top of the head.

Zhang Cang opened his eyes and saw the teacher caressing his head lovingly, and the warmth went from the top of his head to his heart, warmer than the flames of the brazier in winter.

"Hu Xu is going to be beaten, but you are not Hu Xu, you have thought deeply, and you should not be beaten.

"The dragon does not swim with fish and shrimp, and the tiger does not walk with cattle and sheep. Han Fei and Li Si are both great talents, although they are gentle on the outside, they are arrogant on the inside, but they have a very good relationship with you, the lazy man who wants to become a god and fly every day. I wonder how you made them look the other way, it turns out that you are also a great talent.

"It's good not to blindly follow, to know how to question, to think. The king of Qin did not give you a high-ranking official, but you volunteered to speak for him, from the point of view of personal charm, the king of Qin is even higher than the king.

"You said that Qing underestimated King Qin, this is true, but did you underestimate the king? You often meet with the king on the balcony, and do ridiculous things with the king, do you think the king will only be ridiculous? ”

Zhang Cang wanted to speak and stopped, and sneered.

Although going to the balcony is not forbidden by Qin Law, nor does it violate morality, in front of his teacher, he is still very uncomfortable, and he has a sense of shame that he has no clothes on.

"The king of the tower is only the side of the king, not all of the king. The facts you state are correct, but the conclusions you draw are not. You have prejudice against you, and when your prejudice persists, as long as it involves you, no matter how correct it is, you will not listen to it. ”

Xunzi extinguished the flame in the brazier, and from the gap in the firewood, you could see that the bottom was pitch black charcoal. Firewood burns for a short time, and the warmth in a winter house is mainly dependent on charcoal at the bottom.

Xunzi threw firewood into the brazier to make the open flame in the brazier more vigorous, and the elderly like to roast the fire.

Turning his head to look at the fine snow flying outside the window, Xun Zi said:

"If you run out of charcoal this winter, will it be cold?"

Zhang Cang nodded.

"It's cold, naturally."

Xunzi pointed out the window.

"What about them? These ordinary people who have no officials and no lords can't buy charcoal, how can they survive this cold winter? Just burning firewood and no lasting flame to keep warm, this cold winter will kill many people. Do you think they are willing to live this kind of life? ”

The heating conditions of the Qin Dynasty were not particularly superior, in addition to pasting tampons and hanging thick blankets on the windows and doors of the house, charcoal fire was also an indispensable part of the Qin people's heating methods.

But in the Qin Dynasty, it was not an easy thing to obtain charcoal, which was also a precious commodity in the Qin Dynasty, and only the royal family and nobles could afford to use it.

The common people, like the aristocracy, could buy charcoal with money, and they could only do everything they could with clothing and fire.

In the selection of clothing, these ordinary people usually choose animal fur, and some people will go into the mountains to hunt before the arrival of winter, and the fur of the prey they have beaten down will be used as a material for sewing clothes.

In addition to the animal's fur, they will also find some thick leaves and firewood to place evenly under their clothing. Although the thickness of the clothes has increased, it does not achieve the effect of warmth, and many people still rely on their will to survive the winter.

That is to say, in addition to picking dry branches and chopping firewood to obtain materials for fire in the cold winter, most people can only survive the winter and gamble their lives.

What does Mr. Zhang Cang want to say, this is in response to what he just said, "The people have been tired of war for a long time, and they have been satisfied with a stable life".

So he didn't answer the teacher's question, but directly skipped the appearance and went straight to the inside.

"I know what the teacher is trying to say. Charcoal is obtained by burning a large amount of firewood, it is not easy to manufacture, Chang'an Jun succeeded in changing the law, and he can't ask the people of the world to use charcoal in winter. ”

Xunzi smiled, patted the dust on his body and got up, pushed open the door, the cold air came to his face, and Zhang Cang shivered, and the fat meat grunted.

"Come with you."

Xunzi put on a warm leather coat and stepped out of the room.

"Come on, come on."

Zhang Cang muttered, reluctant to get up.

If it weren't for Xun Zizhao, he wouldn't want to get out of the warmth of the room and throw himself into the cold outside.

He put on a sheepskin jacket, and his fat body seemed to tear the sheepskin at any moment, followed the teacher out of the door, and closed the door casually.

…………

The walls are rough and stubble is everywhere.

The bulging futon was stained with black stains that I don't know what it was, and it looked dirty.

A child waits quietly by the clay pot.

In the Qin Dynasty, there were no pots, and the dignitaries used the tripod to cook food, and the ordinary people who couldn't afford the tripod used clay pots.

There was nothing in the clay pot, and it was not yet time to eat. The reason why the children are squatting here is not to eat, but because an hour ago, a fire was turned on to cook here.

Under the clay pot, the black ashes that remained were already cold. But the child stubbornly believes that the cold ashes will still bring him warmth.

This is the picture that Zhang Cang saw with his teacher Xunzi.

Zhang Cang, who was still a little cold in a sheepskin jacket, looked at the children sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, turned his head sideways, and said to the master who led them in:

"Why don't you cover the quilt?"

Although the quilt on the simple stone bed is dirty, it can still play a role in keeping out the cold.

"Mi! Still lazy! Go chop wood! ”

The owner who was numb and had no smiling face outside suddenly roared.

"Yui."

The child sat up, stamped his feet and rubbed his hands, and ran out in the thick coat on his body, which was far less powerful than Zhang's padded jacket to keep out the cold.

"What are you asking? I didn't hear you. ”

The owner of the standard Qin people's face said humbly.

Zhang Cang opened his mouth, unable to speak, he didn't want to ask.

Although he has not become a big official or entered the ranks of the top nobles in the Qin State for more than ten years, he has never worried about life.

In winter, there are enough charcoal tubes, and if you want to have meat, you will have meat, and that fat meat is a symbol of wealth.

He knew what life was like for the people at the bottom, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Zhang Cang, who claims to be a fairy family, thinks about becoming a god and flying immortals, and wants to live a long life.

The master saw that the old man and the fat man in front of him were silent, and he was a little anxious in his heart, his work was not finished yet.

To be precise, there was no time for his work to be finished.

"If the two adults don't speak, I'll go and do things."

His tone was a little hurried.

The two men were taken by the city guards and came to him and said they wanted to come and see his house, very suddenly.

He didn't know how good-looking his dilapidated houses were, and not most of them were like this in Xianyang.

delaying him to do things and not giving him money, isn't it the life of his family!

Xunzi walked to the bed and pulled the quilt down a little, revealing an old face.

Zhang Cang immediately understood why the child didn't wear the quilt, because there was another person in the quilt, an old man who wanted to continue his life through this quilt.

"What are you going to do? I didn't break Qin's law! ”

The master hurriedly stepped forward, snatched the quilt from Xunzi's hand, and re-covered the old man.

On his face was unspeakable anger and distress.

As soon as the quilt was lifted, the heat dissipated a little, and the temperature inside the quilt dropped. As soon as the temperature drops, his father will die.

"The teacher is ventilating the elderly, covering the quilt for a long time, and it will suffocate if it is not breathable."

Zhang Cang defended the teacher.

The master glanced at Zhang Cang strangely, did not speak, and tightened the quilt for his father.

"People have the ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and when it really comes to the time when the dead fat man can't breathe, he will naturally lift the quilt to breathe. As long as it is not involuntary, the living will not be suffocated by the quilt. Reading, you can't read to death. ”

The door opened, the wind and snow poured in, and the already unwarm room became even colder, and the owner's face became even more unkind.

Wearing a thick snow-white fox fur and stepping on a pair of black rhinoceros leather boots, Ying Chengcheng stood at the door, smiling brightly.

The snow fell on the white fox's coat and was almost invisible. The wind was intercepted by the white fox fur and could not invade.

Ying Cheng's long hair was wet with snowflakes, and a little wet hair fell wantonly on her broad shoulders, and her handsome and unusual face was smiling, washing away the majesty.

The white clothes are like snow, fluttering like jade, like a fairy.

The master, who wanted to say something bad, held back.

Although the Qin Dynasty respected black, this snow-white fox fur knew at a glance that it was expensive, and the person who wore such clothes was not something he could afford to offend.

"Yo, my husband is also here, I just heard a voice that looks like a dead fat man outside, I didn't expect it to be the two of you."

Ying Cheng looked at Xunzi and said with a smile.

Turning his head to look at the unkind master whose clothes were the thinnest and whose complexion could not be hidden, his complexion was also a little unkind.

"Why are you stunned? Come here and help, Naigong doesn't owe you! The government will send it for free this time, and next month take the photo sticker to pick it up by yourself, and bring the money! ”

[You close the door, it's cold!] ]

The owner gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, relaxed his breathing, walked up to take the silk bag in Ying Chengcheng's hand, and closed the door with his hand.

When I opened it, it was all black and swarthy, with holes, like blocks of stone.

"This is for me?"

The master hesitated.

From Ying Cheng's words, he could hear that Ying Cheng was from the government, and he could also hear that this was something that was brought to him.

But the government has never taken the initiative to send anything, and the owner is afraid that he will be wrong, and he can't believe it.

"For you, of course.

"This is called honeycomb coal, Your Majesty is afraid that you will freeze to death, so he specially made it for you. Bring me a brazier, and I'll show you how to use it. It's pretty simple, it's about the same as charcoal.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up, I'll go to the next one!"

Frozen to death, brazier, charcoal.

These two words made the owner's eyes brighten, like a blind man suddenly seeing the light.

"Oooh! Only! ”

The master hurriedly responded, his eyes showing anxiety.

He didn't have a brazier at home, so he didn't need it.

I'm afraid that this bad-tempered adult wearing a white fox coat won't know how to use the things in the silk bag that are similar to charcoal after he leaves.

In a hurry, he took down the clay pot from which he was cooking.

"My lord, this is okay!"
