Chapter Twenty-Eight: Settling In

On the outskirts of Xianyang, in the rising sun.

The inner prison door was leaning against the inner door, basking in the sun and touching the lice on his body.

"Yo, got one."

He grinned, revealing a mouth full of black teeth, and pinched a tiny bloodsucking worm between his raised fingers.

Looking at the writhing appearance of the bug, he pressed his fingers, only to hear the sound of "pop", and the bug exploded into a ball.

The inner prison door smiled happily, hummed the Qin Di ballad in his mouth, and after a while, he touched a lice from his bottom and came out.

"Husband."

The sudden call startled the inner prison door, and his hands trembled, and the little insect took the opportunity to flee for his life, jumped onto the sackcloth clothes and disappeared.

The inner prison door looked up and saw two young men standing in front of him at some point.

One of them was a thin young man, dressed in brown and dark-skinned, looking at him with a restrained look.

The inner prison door was vigilant, and his gaze swept over the thin black young man and fell on the young man on the side.

Judging from his decades of experience, the person in charge of these two men should be this boy who is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

I saw that this young man was seven feet tall, with a good appearance, no beard under his chin, and a pair of bright eyes.

Of course, the most noticeable thing was that the cloth on the boy's head with a bun was brown.

Prove that he has a knighthood, Princess!

The Qin State respects the title, and each level of the title has its own privileges, which will naturally be reflected in the appearance, and people can see the level of the title at a glance.

This is what Shang Jun called "Ming Zun and Humble Rank Rank, each with a poor name of the field house, and the concubine's clothes according to the family order." Those who have merit are glorious, and those who have no merit are rich and have nothing to do. ”

The most ordinary untitled Qianshou is, as the name suggests, a black cloth wrapped around the bun on his head.

After being promoted to a first-class knighthood, the cloth on his head will be changed, so that people will know that this kid is a person with a knighthood, and he can't be easily underestimated.

Of course, a mere first-class official is nothing, there are seven or eight public scholar families in this Chaoyang alone, and there are even two second-level scholars.

It's just that the prison gate saw that this young man's morale was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and hurriedly asked: "Who are you waiting for, what are you doing in my rising sun?" ”

The young man smiled and asked the thin black young man on the side to take out a few wooden planks.

"This is our test, and I ask my husband to check it."

The inner prison door took the "inspection" made of poplar planks and the "pass" made of willow wood strips, and glanced at the words on them.

"In Chaoyangli, Shangyuan Township, Xianyang, Inner History, his name is Zhao Tuo, the Duke, seven feet and one inch high."

"Verification" is the ID card of the Qin people, which is engraved with the identity information of each Qin person, not only the place of origin, but also the title and height.

The other "biography" is equivalent to a letter of introduction for later generations, which was distributed by Qin's government affairs department, which not only has more detailed identity information, such as indicating Zhao Tuo's "fair-skinned, fifteen years old", etc., but more importantly, it has written the reason for the bearer's travel.

Qin's law is strict, and the common people live in the middle, five households and one army, ten households and one tithe, living next to each other. On weekdays, you can only farm at home, and you can't leave the township at will, even if you go to the next township or county.

If you want to leave your hometown, you must find the Lidian in the township where your household registration is located (Tongli Zheng, the word "Zheng" was avoided during the reign of King Qin, so it is called Lidian) to issue a travel certificate.

If you don't have this proof, if you run away without permission, the consequences of being found out are very miserable, and it is a serious crime.

Jiangyang (the crime of loitering), the death of the emperor (the crime of escaping from the customs), and the death of the state (smuggling out of the country) are specially punished for this kind of behavior, and if you are not careful, you may be punished as a subordinate concubine, and you will be reformed for life, and there is no place to turn over.

Moreover, this law not only punishes the loiterers themselves, but also is jointly and severally liable if the local officials do not check properly.

The Law of Travelers stipulates that if a traveler (a lobbyist such as Zhang Yi and Su Qin) settles down in a certain place and stays in a certain place, but is found not to carry a certificate granted by the government, the official of the county where he is located will be fined a set of A.

If he stays for more than a year and is not identified, the local officials will be reprimanded.

Under the high pressure of this kind of law, all parts of the Qin State are very careful about the investigation of inspection and transmission, and no one wants to be responsible.

Zhao Tuo's inspection was sent by Xianyang, and after the assassination of Qin, the Qin court handled the matter properly at a very fast speed, and the accountability of the responsibility and the reward of the reward.

Zhao Tuo was awarded the third rank of knighthood for his meritorious service in adultery, and he was given a golden ten.

However, he ransomed himself as a concubine with his two-level title, and now he only has a first-class duke.

In addition, he and Hengdu became Qin nationality and were assigned to Chaoyangli in Xianyang's Shangyuan Township.

Zhao Tuo can be regarded as successfully settling in the Qin State, and he has completely integrated into this era in terms of identity, and he no longer has to wander and flee in the land of Yan Zhao like when he first crossed over, and live a life without knowing life and death all day long.

The two pieces of biography are specially written to let Zhao Tuo and Heng settle here, and before that, there has been a notice from the township that has been conveyed, so the prison gate just glanced at it and knew the intention of these two people.

He glanced at Zhao Tuo carefully and grinned, "It turned out to be you, and wait for me to call Lidian over." ”

"Yui."

Zhao Tuo responded, when he first arrived, he naturally had to be more humble and integrate into this society as soon as possible.

What Zhao Tuo didn't expect was that the prison door here did not go inside to find someone, but walked to the back of the door, and didn't know where to find a hanging hemp rope, and when he pulled it suddenly, there was a crisp bell ringing.

Immediately afterwards, a few children playing with bamboo horses in the lanes of Rinei shouted happily.

"Lidian Lidian, someone called."

"Lidian Lidian, someone is looking for it."

The dogs in the courtyards of several houses near the door also tore their throats and howled when they heard the children's voices.

Zhao Tuo blinked.

Good guys, there is such a communication system in this little sunrise.

After a while, an old man with a white beard came out of the middle school, he first looked at Zhao Tuo and Heng suspiciously, and then took the inspection pass in the hand of the inner prison door and looked at it.

"Zhao Tuo, it's horizontal."

Li Dian handed the inspection pass back to Zhao Tuo and said, "The township has ordered me to come before, you come with me." ”

"Thank you, Ridian."

Zhao Tuo hurriedly thanked him, his horizontal body on the side was slightly stiff, and when he saw Zhao Tuo's eyes, he reluctantly followed him.

As a native of Zhao State, he has been educated to hate the Qin people of Qin State since he was a child, and now although he has slowly accepted the fact that Qin State will annex the world under Zhao Tuo's brainwashing, and he is willing to let go of hatred and live a good life, it is still difficult to adapt for a while.

Li Dian saw that Zhao Tuo's bearing was extraordinary, coupled with the handwriting sent by him in Xianyang, he expected that the other party's identity was not ordinary, and he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly took Zhao Tuo into the depths of Lizhong, pointed to a mansion and said: "This mansion was originally owned by the Lizhong Gongshi, and it was confiscated for violating the law, and now it is yours." ”

"Yui."

Zhao Tuo looked at the house in front of him, looking at his first home after coming to this era.

I, Zhao Tuo, also have a home.
