Chapter 70: Rich and Expensive! (Ask for a commuter pass)
"The emperor is kind, and after killing these criminals, he will bury them on the spot."
"One tomb for one person, it's really cheap for them."
"How can you give a tomb, just a soil pit, bury it and fill it up, what kind of 'mourning' do they deserve these criminals?!"
“......”
Listen to the whispers around you.
Ji Heng's eyes moved slightly, after Shang Ying's change of law, the birth, old age, sickness and death of the Qin people were all under the provisions of the Qin law.
Only the person who holds the title can enjoy the 'honor' after his death.
The Book of Shang Junjun stipulates that after the death of the handyman who cannot participate in the war, he can plant a tree on the tomb, and from this level to the doctor, he can plant an additional tree at each higher level, and this kind of "mourning" is particularly glorious for the common people.
Like Wu Anjun Baiqi, his mausoleum is comparable to a park in the future.
But if the title is under the hairpin, there can only be a small earthen bag and a stone tablet, and the public can only have a small earthen bag.
As for those who do not have titles, they are not qualified to set up tombs.
I can only dig a pit and bury it.
This set of 'Ming respect, rank, and rank, each with a poor name of the house, and the clothes of the concubines are based on the family order. The rule that those who have merit are honored, and those who are unmeritorious are rich and have nothing to do is established from the beginning of the Shang Dynasty reform.
Daqin divides 'expensive' and 'rich' very widely.
And this gradually became the division between the aristocracy and the powerful in the future.
Only those who have a title can enjoy the glory that ordinary people cannot get, and those who do not have a title, no matter how rich they are, cannot be noble.
Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty also made a decision to 'order the Jia people not to ride in clothes, and to pay heavy taxes to embarrass them'.
That's the rule.
Hearing the whispers coming from all around, many Fang Shi Confucian students turned pale, clenched their teeth and did not speak, and hung their heads in shame, looking unusually sad and desperate.
But it is mixed with monstrous grief and indignation.
They were very dissatisfied with Daqin's rules.
They are scholars, Confucian scholars, and nobles, all of whom are people with heads, faces, and status, how can they be the same as lowly leaders, ministers, and slaves after their deaths?
There are Confucian scholars around, and they shouted a few words loudly, 'The world has been suffering for a long time', 'Everyone in the violent Qin will be punished', and 'Great Qin is self-isolating from civilization and self-isolating from heavenly principles'.
However, it didn't cause much movement around.
Only a bunch of spittle.
Ji Heng stood at the end of the queue, and his pace was not fast.
He heard someone in the crowd ask what they had done.
Some people say that they are guilty of rebellion, and some people say that they talk about the government and slander Qin Zheng, but these answers have attracted unanimous agreement from all around, and the onlookers on the road think that they should be killed.
Listening to the numbers, scolding, and humiliation around him, Ji Heng only frowned slightly, and there was a touch of relief in his eyes.
He was guilty.
In fact, he should have done something for the world and made some changes, but in the end he chose to retreat and choose to be silent, but now when he heard the deafening scolding in his ears, he felt a rare sense of peace in his heart.
As if to get some reassurance.
He looked up.
looked at Xianyang Palace from afar.
Faintly, he seemed to meet a pair of indifferent eyes.
This man is like a sword, forever shining with cold light, never losing its light until it breaks for a moment, and never stops moving forward.
He just stood there.
looked down at Ji Heng coldly, with a bit of mockery in his eyes, as if he was saying to Ji Heng: "See, this is the bottom ...... you value"
"Forever so stupid, and forever so indignant."
"They don't take the initiative to change, only power can make them change."
"You're wrong!"
Ji Heng was silent.
He looked at the Qin people who had cursed him, and finally shook his head.
Is it wrong?
He never thought so.
Since ancient times, the people of China have been called the most stupid by the rulers.
Because they'd better lie.
Just give a little favor, you can easily make them turn around, or even take the initiative to betray, this situation has been happening since ancient times, and it will continue to appear, no matter how the world changes, no matter what someone says, or what they say is very reasonable, the people at the bottom are still so 'stupid'.
But he no longer agrees with that.
After ten generations, he has angrily scolded the bottom, and he has also recognized the foolish people's statement.
The people have always been the most stupid, but they are the most difficult to deceive.
The people at the bottom don't think so much, they don't care about what law they become, and they don't care whether the monarch is eloquent or not, they only care about it, that is, under the leadership of the above, whether life is getting better day by day, whether it is to pay more labor, and more money and food will be harvested.
If not.
As long as there are better options around them, they will resolutely choose to abandon them.
That's human nature.
The most rustic, yet the most indifferent and ruthless human nature.
If you don't serve the people, you will eventually be abandoned by the people.
The reason why Great Qin was able to sweep Liuhe was indeed because of Shang Ying's change of law, but what is more accurate is that the Qin people worked hard for the Qin State and could really soar.
That's the real cause.
It's not that Shang Ying calculates human nature.
However, the law of Shang Yang can only strengthen the country, not govern the country.
Following the old path, it is destined to have an accident.
Ji Heng slowly retracted his gaze, their queue had already walked out of the city, and the noise around them had become significantly smaller.
"With the land of Qin, it is still a salary to fight the fire, the salary is not exhausted, and the fire is not extinguished!"
"I'm not wrong."
"I just haven't done it!"
Ji Heng secretly clenched his fists, and finally released his clenched fists, leaving only a dull sigh.
The queue of more than 400 people turned into an ochre-colored dragon at this time, marching towards the Weishui grass beach, their speed was not fast, but there was still a long time before the noon of the execution, so the jailers who accompanied them did not rush to urge.
However, the sound of crying was already coming from the queue.
When he was dying, someone finally couldn't support it anymore and his heart collapsed.
They were scolded by the Qin people in front of them, and they were spurned by the Quartet, they were just resentful, but they didn't really collapse, and now they left the crowd of onlookers and walked straight on the spacious avenue, but they could no longer suppress the fear and fear in their hearts, and cried directly.
Ji Heng looked at the Confucian students on the side and shook his head speechlessly.
In prison, he was cynical, scolded the heavens and the earth, and in the end he was really going to die, but he was suddenly afraid.
It's kind of ridiculous.
However, even if Fang Shi and Confucian were crying, they could not stop the queue, and before noon, they were finally escorted to the execution ground.
On both sides of the hill, the crowd of onlookers who had been waiting for a long time looked at the large area in front of them, the prisoners in disheveled clothes and withered faces, but they seemed unusually quiet, just looking at them with their eyes open, and from time to time someone stretched out their fingers to point.
Then.
I don't know when the earthen platform was built, and the two rows suddenly sounded horns in unison.
A whimper resounded through the grassy beach.
It's noon!
Ji Heng stood in front of a dirt pit and slowly closed his eyes.
He was relieved.
Even he wanted to take the initiative to jump into the pit and end this bleak life as soon as possible.
The world is too bitter, and the next life will ......
