Chapter 65: New Year
In the following days, Zhao Si kept jumping up and down on the good sun, wearing gold armor all day long and leading more than a hundred horsemen to help the people build earthen stoves and teach them how to make rough coal.
It's really coarse, that is, it's just washed with water.
For the popularization of thousands of households, we must strive to be simple, convenient, do not need to consume additional production raw materials, do not need to consume a lot of labor.
The local people in Shanyang were still very afraid of Zhao Si at first, but they couldn't stand Zhao Si helping to repair the stove.
The most important thing is that although this golden armor general looks bluffing, he is really good, he never moves roughly, and he is also kind and pleasant when talking to people, but there is only one point, this golden armor general does not eat ordinary meals.
Zhao Si is not without a body that eats bran vegetables, but recently, with the stir-fry and daily eating with the first emperor, his mouth has been nourished, and his stomach has been finely nourished.
It's not that the people are unwilling to receive Zhao Si, they have already taken out a treasured sauce, and even meat strips and grains to reward Zhao Si.
Zhao Si himself doesn't want to get out of the masses, his body is like this, there must be a day or two of adaptation time, it is nothing more than going back to his stomach for a day or two, with the aura of Puyu on his body, except for farting a little more and smelling a little more, there will be no risk of eating a bad stomach.
Let's just put it this way, Zhao Si is the first beneficiary of Puyu's aura, even if he eats roundworm eggs, parasites can't grow in his stomach.
The main reason was to harm the First Emperor, and after asking the reason clearly, the First Emperor immediately ordered Zhao Si to be equipped with two cooks to accompany Zhao Si to walk around.
to avoid this kid always farts and smoke himself when he is in the same frame with himself.
"Hey...... This can be regarded as Huo Qu's treatment! ”
When Huo Qubing went on the expedition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that Huo Qubing would not eat well, so he specially assigned Huo Qubing two palace cooks, Zhao Si came out to guide him, omitting the reason, and the first emperor also gave Zhao Si two palace cooks, and in general it was not bad.
Zhao Si wiped his sweat, looked at the busy people, and today publicized the use of the norms and coal washing techniques and the construction method of the earthen stove in a village.
Such a busy day made Zhao Si feel fulfilled.
Zhao Si actually didn't do much, although there are not many people in Shanyang, but the land is vast and the population is relatively scattered, he took a hundred knights to walk around for a few days to play more exemplary significance, so that the local villagers and officials pay more attention to these things, this is not useless.
Moreover, there is the fun of following the first emperor and the first emperor, and it is also interesting to experience the customs and customs of the bottom of Daqin.
People are afraid of the government like a tiger, but in essence, they are afraid of corporal punishment.
The laws of the Qin State are famous for their many things, and they are so heavy that they make people fearful.
The Qin State paid attention to the principle of leniency, and the punishment of Zhulian was very common.
"When making laws, take into account the simple feelings of the people!" Zhao Si sighed, feeling that there was a long way to go.
There were many laws in the Qin state, and Zhao Si believed that this was not a mistake, but a manifestation of the legal system.
However, the law is mainly based on corporal punishment, and it is often connected, and the overall combination is too cool, not to mention that the nobles also enjoy legal immunity, in essence, the Qin law is to stipulate the three, six, nine and other laws of people.
Zhao Si thinks this should not be.
If you have to describe it, the laws of the Qin State give Zhao Si the feeling that it is like Professor Yang's electrotherapy center, where the oppression is too heavy, the human nature is too little, and evil naturally breeds in it.
What Zhao Si wants is to let those complicated laws be implemented, and Zhao Si is very much in favor of using laws to restrain the behavior of the people and regulate the social atmosphere.
Just like Zhao Si proposed, standardize the method of everyone using Shi Ni, and stipulate that hot water must be drunk in places with a lot of miasma, which is good for the people.
What does Zhao Si want to do? If I have to say it, I want to turn the oppression of the complicated Qin law into a persuasion from parents to their children.
If you are disobedient, you will be beaten when you should be beaten, and you will be punished when you should be punished.
The bottom line has been touched, and it is necessary to let them know that it hurts, and that such a thing should never be done.
"General, can I touch your armor?" When Zhao Si was lowering his eyebrows and pondering, a little hairy child with a red face and frostbite on his hands ran in front of Zhao Si.
"Touch it!" Zhao Si smiled and rubbed the child's head.
The little guy touched Zhao Si's golden armor, and his face was full of joy, boy, he was born with a lot of love for this kind of sassy and majestic thing.
This little guy obviously likes swords and armor, and he also weaves a simple grass armor out of thatch, which looks unexpectedly good.
If Zhao Si had this skill when he was a child, then he must be the most beautiful boy in ten miles and eight towns.
"Do you like it?" Zhao Si asked softly.
"I like it!" The little one answered without hesitation.
After a moment of silence, he stared at the simple grass armor on his body for a long time, and then raised his head to speak, and looked up with a stupid smile and said, "General, you don't look as good as me when you drop armor." ”
Zhao Si didn't stop it all of a sudden, for him, a client, it was difficult for him to endure this kind of cross-era stalk.
"Good, good!" Zhao Si smiled and looked up, and it took a long time to stop smiling and squatting down.
"After that, do you want to be a soldier?"
"I don't want to!" The little one's head shook like a rattle.
"I'm not stupid, I say that I only serve once a year, but over the years, I have only seen those who have been drafted away, and I have not seen anyone who has returned.
Shanyang is the old land of Zhao State, near Yanmen Pass, not too far from the Xiongnu, so the requisition here is also more frequent.
"Come on, Daqin has won, and they will be back soon." Zhao Si smiled.
Zhao Si has done a lot of trivial things, but it is only insignificant, and a dynasty like Great Qin, which is at the turn of the old and the new, still needs a long time to transform.
After staring at the village for a long time, Zhao Si glanced at the rare clear sky, and his eyes were a little stunned.
"It's time to go......"
In fact, the official road had been opened many days ago, but the first emperor said that he wanted to inspect the border situation here, so he stayed for a few days.
But Zhao Si also knew that the First Emperor did not want to inspect the border situation, but genuinely set aside time for himself to exercise at the grassroots level.
Let the entire convoy of more than 10,000 people stay for a few more days for itself.
Zhao Si is now considered to have completed his merits, and the Shanyang area has completed Zhao Si's expectations, and the next step is just to implement it step by step.
People are self-aware, and the first emperor can stay here for a few more days to give himself enough face for this meal, so he can't accompany himself to spend the New Year here again, right?
After Zhao Si left, he drove directly on the same day.
Although he didn't say it, it also once again verified the idea that the first emperor didn't set off just to wait for Zhao Si.
Next, the weather began to gradually turn colder.
During the first emperor's journey, Zhao Si would take his soldiers out from time to time to check whether the local government was restricting the people from using Shi Ni in accordance with the norms, and at the same time popularize some tips for the people by the way, and do some meaningful things within his ability.
He drove along the northern land of Zhao to the south, and went straight to the old land of Qi.
After two days, the New Year arrived.
The first day of October to celebrate the New Year sounds abstract, but in the Qin State it is a fact.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the various vassal states were established, so there were also many kinds of calendars, such as the Yellow Emperor calendar, the Zhuan calendar, the summer calendar, the Yin calendar, the Zhou calendar, the Lu calendar, etc., these calendars are different due to different calculation methods, so the year of each calendar is not the same.
The Qin Dynasty calendar uses the seventeen-year seven-leap method, a return year is 365 and 1/4 days, and the calendar is based on Jianhai, that is, the month of Hai is the beginning of the year, that is, October, so the first day of October is the New Year of Qin.
After the Qin State unified the world, the First Emperor thought that Zhou Dehuo De, Qin Dynasty Zhou De, and never won over. Fang is now the beginning of the water, the beginning of the new year, and the morning congratulations are all from October Shuo.
As for the New Year on the first day of the first month, it will be after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty revised the Han calendar.
However, no matter what day it is, the significance of this day as the beginning of the year is very important.
The morning greetings are all from the first day of October.
The word Asaga says it all.
On this day, the first emperor deliberately stopped driving, feasted the ministers in the palace, and invited the local nobles and officials to congratulate for the first time.
The process is different from the afterlife, but the meaning is the same, people put aside the twilight of the old year, and are full of anticipation for the new year, saying blessings to each other, and crackling firecrackers.
Of course, it's not firecrackers, and firecrackers in this era are talking about pure bamboo.
It is nothing more than stipulating that the bonfire that is lit needs to be lit with bamboo, so that it will crackle when burned, and it is not to drive away the year beast, according to Li Si, it is to get rid of the bad luck of the year, so that the next year will have better luck.
Because it was a good day for Chaohe, there were not so many rules, and even every official could toast the first emperor with a glass of wine.
Of course, it is a toast to drink, and the First Emperor does not need to drink, but this is still a kind of honor, after all, there are not many opportunities to get along with the First Emperor at close range throughout the year, and no one can say that this time the First Emperor will remember it?
One by one, officials came to the First Emperor and toasted with words of blessing.
Zhao Si also followed the trend, and it was his turn to directly give the first emperor a passage.
Zhao Si probably can't do this kind of thing, but there is no problem in copying some auspicious words to please him.
I saw Zhao Si bow down and raise the wine bottle: "The old year is gone, the new year is coming, the minister wishes His Majesty an auspicious time and auspicious day, a good year and a good moon like the wind, a blessing and a happy longevity, and longevity in the mountains and water." ”
is still a purely pleasing witty remark without any origin, and the first emperor is happy to Zhao Si's undisguised appearance of no ink on his chest, but just waved his hand and drank the wine in the cup.
Zhao Si was just about to turn around to vacate his seat for the next one, but saw the First Emperor waving his hand.
The meaning is already obvious.
Zhao Si smiled, came to the first emperor's desk and knelt down upright.
