Following.

Ji Heng was woken up again by the jailer.

He simply rubbed his face, straightened his untidy clothes, and went to the secluded hut.

There were two people seated in the room.

Seeing that Ji Heng had arrived, a man in a dark robe hurriedly got up to greet him, and he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for teaching my younger brother during this time, I am his brother, Bo Qin." ”

Ji Heng glanced lightly, glanced at the wall not far away, and nodded simply.

Regarding Ji Heng's indifference, Fusu had to laugh dryly, and then sat back in his position.

He understands Ji Heng's cold character.

Not annoyed.

Ji Heng went to the big case he was familiar with, looked at the red meat on the copper plate, and four pots of fine wine, and his eyes showed a strange color.

He recognized the beef in the copper plate.

It is forbidden to kill cattle in Daqin.

Ordinary people are not qualified to eat beef at all.

Even if they are in the middle of the court, most of them can only eat mutton.

Under normal circumstances, dignitaries and dignitaries will only get the opportunity to eat beef when they are invited to a banquet in the palace or a big sacrifice.

Ordinary Qianshou, only after the government sacrifices cattle, sheep and pigs, can they spend money to buy some sacrifices, and the officials eat the little leftover meat.

And the three animals that sacrifice to heaven and earth are not something that ordinary Qianshou can eat.

This is the chosen sacrifice for heaven and earth.

He looked at the two people not far away, seemed to remember something, and sat down on the spot.

He took out the smooth 'chopsticks' that had been rubbed from his sleeve, picked up a piece of beef from the copper plate, and swallowed it without paying attention to taste, and hurriedly chewed a few bites.

A few pieces of scorching beef went down to his stomach, and Ji Heng felt a warmth rise in his stomach, so he looked at the other two people in the room and asked, "Have you come up with the answer to the question I left you last time?" ”

Hu Hai seemed to be worried about being answered by Fusu, so he hurriedly took over and said, "Naturally, I thought about it." ”

"You've made it so clear."

"The first chaotic place is the Chu land, and the head of the thief is naturally the nobles of the Chu State."

When talking about Chudi, Hu Hai also glanced at Fusu intentionally or unintentionally, with a bit of ridicule and excitement in his eyes.

Fusu noticed it, and could only shake his head with a wry smile.

He was indeed close to Chu Di in the past.

Fusu Zhengse said: "I have the same answer as my younger brother. ”

Ji Heng nodded and said, "Reason." ”

Hu Hai smiled, and said with a smug expression: "Didn't you say before, although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu, and what Chu Zongcheng is the king, Chu is strong, although it was defeated by Daqin, but there will be some dissatisfaction in my heart, so if there is chaos in the world, Chu Diding will be the first to rebel." ”

"And the nobles of Chu are entrenched, if they really want to rebel, they can only be those nobles."

Ji Heng bowed slightly, looked at Fusu, and asked, "What about you?" ”

Fu Su arched his hand and said: "I have consulted several officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few days, and I have learned some about the situation in Chu, in the past few years, most of the officials in the Great Qin have come from Chu, and the local officials can have access to a lot of secrets, some of which are not even known to the court, so their actions can actually be regarded as a sign." ”

"The local officials have a premonition that Great Qin is unstable."

"Among them, Chu is the worst."

"It can make the local officials so uneasy, most of them are because there is a situation in Chudi."

"Chu was divided for a long time in the past, and the major nobles were not adaptable, and the unified management of the imperial court led the thieves to be nobles."

Ji Heng chuckled lightly and said, "You are all only half right. ”

"That is, the first place of chaos is Chu."

"But the leader of the thieves is probably not from the nobility."

Fusu and Hu Hai glanced at each other, and there was a hint of suspicion in their eyes.

Not an aristocrat?

So who else could be rebelling?

And the aristocracy has the strongest power in Chu.

Fusu asked tentatively: "It's not a nobleman, is it an official?" A rich businessman? Or is it a Baiyue person? ”

Ji Heng smiled and shook his head.

He put down the slender short stick in his hand, picked up the wine jug in the copper plate, took a sip, and said expressionlessly: "It's the people!" ”

"This 'people' is different from the Confucian 'people', but the lowest level of Qiantou, the dead, the mercenary farmer, the slaves and other existences, they are the most insignificant existence in the world, in the eyes of the imperial court, they are just a number, just a light stroke, can let them go forward and succeed for the imperial court."

"Their names won't appear in the history books."

"I will only scribble the words 'great drought, great hunger of the people', 'the world's household registration, almost half of it is lost', 'the price of human flesh is cheaper than dogs and pigs' and so on."

"However, these hard-working and resentful 'livestock' who are almost like cattle and horses will make their own shouts for the first time in this world, and their voices this time also officially declare ......"

"The world has changed!"

"Maybe their initial voice is not taken seriously by the world, but if it doesn't work once, then two, three, four times...... Ten times, until these high-ranking nobles, heroes, and officials have to face them, respect them, and even curry favor with them. ”

"The heavenly street is full of the bones of the ministers, and the heads of the powerful are hung all over the gate!"

"I have said more than once before that in the midst of change, there is a change in the people."

"This people means that under this great change, the 'people' will be redefined, and they will no longer be limited to 'scholars', 'nobles', 'landlords', 'heroes', 'craftsmen', etc."

"It's all the people in the world!"

"This is also the power given by the Great Qin Imperial Court to the people of the world."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, the first emperor issued an edict to the world to correct the name of the people: there are many names of the people, and they are all renamed Qianshou."

"The people at the bottom are just fighting for their legitimate rights and interests."

"And it's a 'order'!"

"The system and order three generations are unwritten, and the first emperor has it."

"Among them, the Great Qin Code clearly stipulates: the order is the 'system', and the edict is the 'order'."

"System: relatively gentle and flexible, the essence of which is 'can be done'."

"The edict is a clear and unambiguous command, the essence of which is 'this must be done.'" ”

"An edict is a decree that must be enforced."

"As the saying goes, 'the king's words are like silk, and his output is like lun'."

"This is the power granted by the First Emperor to the people of the world, since Daqin himself failed to abide by it, then it is no wonder that the people of the world have fought for it themselves."

"After all, rebellion is justified!"

"What's more, this legal principle was given by Daqin himself."

The secluded hut is as quiet as a valley.

Fusu and Hu Hai's hands and feet were cold, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

They have been shaken.

Ji Heng's face was indifferent, and he drank one bite after another.

He knows very well in his heart that the world has indeed changed, but there is historical inertia, and rentiers still don't care about the bottom, even if the bottom rises up to rebel, they won't care too much, and they will still continue to be as high as in the past, and continue to treat the people like grass.

They will even deliberately guide them, becoming officials in order to make a fortune, in order to seal their wives and sons, and once there is a bottom climb up, they will immediately let them join the rentiers, so that they can continue to suck the blood and sweat oil at the bottom with peace of mind.

And the Qianshou defined by Great Qin was not realized until more than 2,000 years later.

It's just replaced with the word "people".
