Chapter 18 Qin State Law Popularization, Ten Thousand Years Old Second Cao Shen
After seeing the comer, Cao Xiu hurriedly stepped forward.
"Xiu, I've seen my brother-in-law."
"I've seen my uncle."
Since ancient times, Cao Shen has been ranked by Uncle Ji, although Cao Shen is a cousin, but his eldest is the patriarch of the Cao family, so Cao Xiu directly calls him an uncle.
When they moved from Dangjun to Pei County, the life of orphans and widows was quite difficult. Cao Shen never disliked them and took care of Cao Xiu as his own brother. In the past, when his mother died of illness, Cao Shen also presided over the funeral, so he could have a grand funeral. Over the years, Cao Xiu has been the head snake in Pei County, and he has relied on Cao Shen to be the backer behind him.
Cao Xiu is not afraid of Cao Shen, but respectful. Cao Xiujing is not all because of his achievements in history, mainly because of Cao Shen's various care and help to him.
Cao Shen is a civil and military all-rounder in the true sense, and when Liu Bangding was in Chang'an, Cao Shen ranked second. He fought a hundred battles and conquered two vassal states and one hundred and twenty-two counties. After the world was peaceful, he became the prime minister again, and used Huang Laozhi's theory to recuperate.
Cao Shen smiled and nodded in approval.
"No need to be polite. Xiao Jun and I are here to investigate your reading order today. You have to behave well, don't let Xiao Jun catch the handle. ”
"Ahem, do your best!"
The so-called reading order is actually the reading of the interpretation of the law. Since Shang Jun's change of law, he has attached great importance to reading orders. Because Qin Law is complicated, if Qianshou doesn't know Qin Law, he won't be afraid, and it will be easy to make mistakes and be punished.
Qin Law is the soul of the Qin State!
Every Qin official must carve the Qin Law into his soul!
"If the second or third son has any laws and regulations, he can ask them."
"Ahem, I have!"
Then, I saw a middle-aged man standing up nervously. His face is somewhat similar to Liu Ji's, but darker. Both fingernails were stained with mud, and at first glance you could tell that they were people doing farm work.
He is Liu Ji's middle brother, Liu Xi.
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask now."
Cao Xiu was holding a one-foot-six-inch wooden stump, on which the time and place were written, as well as the names of him and Liu Xi. In duplicate, he and Liu Xi each held one copy. It is necessary to record Liu Xi's question and Cao Xiu's answer.
"The wife is fierce, if the husband beats him, he will be deprived of his ears, if he breaks his fingers and body, what is the matter with his husband?"
"Dang Nai!"
"Thank you, Pavilion Chief."
Cao Xiu's answer is fluent, after all, these are all good lines that have been right for a long time. Liu Xi asked if a husband beats his wife and tears her ears, breaks her limbs and fingers, or causes dislocation, how should he be judged?
It's simple, endure punishment!
This is a more insulting criminal law, which is equivalent to shaving the person's beard and sideburns, leaving only the hair. When you walk out the door, you will be ridiculed as a tortured sinner.
During the Qin Dynasty, it attached great importance to the beard.
Normal men will grow beards, and there will never be a man who is cleaner than a woman's face in later film and television dramas. But it doesn't mean that you don't care if you're sloppy, you have to take care of it after you grow a beard. Like Liu Ji, he is famous for his beautiful beard in Pei County.
After explaining, Cao Xiu took notes.
Then, divide the wooden talisman in two. The one on the left was given to Liu Xi, and the one on the right belonged to him. After going back, you have to put the wooden talisman into a wooden box, and then hand it over to the villager to seal it.
Don't think that this is the end of the matter, if Cao Xiu didn't interpret it or interpreted it wrongly, then the follow-up will be troublesome. If Liu Xi committed this crime, the county order sentenced him to endure the punishment, but Liu Xi said that the pavilion chief said that he was not guilty, then Cao Xiu and Liu Xi were sentenced together!
It is precisely because of this, so don't look at the Qin State as a barbarian Qin, in fact, the literacy rate of the Qin people was the highest at this time. This is purely forced by Qin Fa, and it is not good if you don't know it.
……
……
Cao Shen looked at it with interest and smiled helplessly.
"Look, these people are familiar?"
"Can it be unfamiliar? He came to Zhongyang again and again, and the people he picked were all the same. Xiao He stroked his beard and said with a wry smile: "Come to think of it, this must have been arranged by Xiu'er." ”
"Still lazy......"
Naturally, this can't be hidden from Cao Shen Xiao He.
However, Cao Shen obviously did not intend to pursue it.
"There's a problem with that, too!"
At this moment, I heard a slightly immature voice.
Qin Shi Huang stood on a stone pier and raised his right hand high.
"Oh? It's him? ”
"Who is he?"
"Xiu'er's newly adopted child." Xiao He smiled faintly, "It's just that the origin of this son must be extraordinary." At the age of eight, he was proficient in the words of a hundred schools of law. I heard that he was also proficient in riding and archery swordsmanship. ”
"So powerful?!"
Cao Shen was shocked when he heard this.
Where did you pick up this baby?
He's going to have to pick them up and bring them back!
"Ahem, ahem!"
"You're too young to make trouble."
Cao Xiu was quite displeased.
"Regardless of your age, you should read the order."
Qin Shi Huang was disappointed.
Cao Xiu, as a Qin official, didn't even understand Qin Law?
Do you have to rely on this method to steal and play tricks?
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you ask!"
"What is the matter of making laws and regulations, profit and loss with more than one word?"
"Sin is unforgivable!"
For example, Lees made a decree and passed it down from one layer to another. If there are fewer officials or one more word in the middle, it will be death directly!
"What is the master of the cattle field, and the cattle are reduced?"
"Ten inches of the master!"
Cao Xiu is still fluent in answers.
Speaking of this, Cao Xiu had a headache. At the beginning, he also read some online articles, saying that he let the cow fall to death and then eat beef. In fact, it is simply impossible to work in the Qin State. During the farming period, the protection of cattle in the Qin State was simply outrageous, even more exaggerated than the protection of pandas in later generations.
For example, if you plough a field with an ox, the waist circumference of the ox is reduced, and for every inch of weight lost, the person in charge will be flogged ten times. Every year in April, July, October, and the first month of the year, there is a competition for ploughing cattle, and the good ones are rewarded, and the poor ones have to go to work.
If the cow dies, it must be reported to the prefectural magistrate immediately. Then a special person will conduct an autopsy and confirm that it is correct before putting it away. If the corpse is decomposed due to the lack of timely treatment, the county order will have to make up for it itself. After it is processed, the tendons and corners and the money from the sale of the meat have to be handed over.
Every year, the county will also assess the situation of cattle raising, and if the number of dead cattle exceeds one-third, then the officials in charge of cattle and the apprentices, orders and servants who feed cattle are all guilty. If the cow does not give birth to a calf, she will also be punished!
In these days, cow life is worth more than human life!
Qin Shi Huang asked several questions in succession.
As a result, Cao Xiu was able to answer fluently and effortlessly.
And, not a word is wrong!
"Anything else to ask?"
"You are obviously proficient in Qin Law, why do you want to deceive?"
"Lean ......"
Cao Xiu glanced at Cao Shen secretly, her face full of embarrassment.
"Xiu'er, so why are you doing this?"
Cao Shen also stepped forward to ask.
"You don't have to ask, it must be that Xiu'er doesn't want to write wooden talismans. So he asked Cao'er to write the wooden talisman in advance, and then arranged it here, so that he could hide it from the world! ”
"Those who know me, Xiao Junye!"
Cao Xiu was moved to tears.
"Xiu'er ......"
Qin Shi Huang glared, and two words popped out for a long time.
He never thought that there could be a person like Cao Xiu?
Just because you don't want to write, you do so many things?
"It's not that I'm lazy, it's that it's too difficult to write on the wooden talisman!"
"Don't worry, it'll be convenient when I get the paper."
