General Qin

On the outskirts of Xianyang, in Chaoyangli.

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

"Yo, caught one."

He chuckled, showing his black teeth, and he was holding a small blood-sucking worm between his raised fingers.

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

Li Jianmen showed a happy smile, and hummed Qindi songs, and after a while, a louse came out from his lower garment.

"Old man."

The sudden call startled the prison gate, his hands trembled, the little bug took the opportunity to escape, and disappeared on the linen clothes.

Looking up at the prison gate, he saw two young men standing in front of him at some point.

One of them was a thin black young man, wearing a brown shirt, with dark skin, looking at him cautiously.

The prison gate was vigilant, his eyes swept over the thin black young man, and fell on the young man beside him.

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

I saw that this young man was seven feet tall, with a regular appearance, no beard under his chin, and a pair of piercing eyes. Just standing there, he appeared to be in high spirits and possessed a certain bearing.

Of course, what caught the prison gate's attention the most was that the cloth covering the boy's head was brown.

Prove he has a title, my lord!

The state of Qin regards titles as the most respected, and each level of title has its own privileges, which will naturally be reflected in the appearance, so that people can tell the level of the title at a glance.

This is what Shang Jun said, "Mingzun is inferior to the rank of nobility, each is named after the difference between the field and the house, and the clothes of the courtiers and concubines are based on the family. Those who have merit will show their glory, and those who have no merit will be rich and have nothing to do."

The most common Wujue Guishou, as the name suggests, is a black cloth wrapped around the bun on the head.

After being upgraded to a first-class knighthood, the cloth on the top of his head needs to be changed to let people know that this kid is a person with a knighthood and cannot be underestimated easily.

Of course, a mere first-level official is nothing. There are seven or eight official families in Chaoyangli alone, and there are even two second-level officials.

It's just that the prison gate saw that the young man's morale was extraordinary, so he didn't dare to underestimate him, so he hurriedly asked: "Who are you waiting for, what are you doing here in Chaoyang?"

The young man smiled, and asked the thin black young man beside him to take out a few planks.

"This is our biography, and I ask the old man to review it."

Li Jianmen received the "experience" made of poplar boards and the "pass" made of willow strips, and glanced at the words on them.

"Inner History Xianyang Shangyuan Township Chaoyangli, named Zhao Tuo, Duke Duke, seven feet one inch tall."

"Check" is the ID card of the Qin people, on which the identity information of each Qin person is engraved, not only the hometown and address, but also the title and height.

The other "biography" is equivalent to a letter of introduction for later generations. It was distributed by Qin's government affairs department. It not only contained more detailed identity information, such as stating that Zhao Tuo was "fair-looking, fifteen years old", but more importantly, The reason for the travel of the passer-by is written on it.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict, and the common people lived in the middle of the house, with five households and one army, ten households and one tenth, living next to each other. On weekdays, you can only farm the land at home, and you can't leave the village at will, even if you go to the next county.

If you want to leave your hometown, you must find Li Dian (Tong Li Zheng, the word "Zheng" was taboo during the Qin Dynasty, so it was called Li Dian) in the township where your household registration is located to issue a travel certificate.

If there is no such certificate, the consequences of running away privately and being found out will be very miserable, which is a serious crime.

Jiang Yang (loitering crime), Lan death (escape from the customs), and Bang death (smuggling out of the country) are specially punished for this kind of behavior. If you are not careful, you may be punished as a servant and concubine. .

Moreover, this kind of law not only punishes the wanderer himself, but also bears joint responsibility if the officials in the local area do not check properly.

"Youshi Law" stipulates that if youshi (lobbyists like Zhang Yi and Su Qin) settle down in a certain place, but are found not to carry the certificate issued by the government, the officials in the county where they live will be fined a set of armor.

If he stays for more than a year and has not been found out, the local officials will be reprimanded.

Under the pressure of all kinds of laws, all parts of the Qin State were very careful about the investigation and inspection of the test and biography.

Zhao Tuo's biography was issued by Xianyang. After the assassination of Qin, the court of Qin State handled the matter properly at an extremely fast speed.

Zhao Tuo was awarded the third rank of nobility and ten gold coins for his meritorious service in prosecuting adultery.

However, he redeemed him as a commoner with his two ranks of title, and now he only has the first rank of duke.

In addition, both he and Heng were naturalized in the state of Qin, and they were allocated in Chaoyangli, Shangyuan Township, Xianyang.

Zhao Tuo has successfully settled in the Qin State, and has completely integrated into this era in terms of identity. He no longer has to wander and flee in the land of Yanzhao when he first crossed, living a life without knowing life and death all day long.

The two biography specifically stated that Zhao Tuo and Heng came here to settle down. Before that, there had been a notice from the village, so the Lijianmen knew the purpose of the two people's visit just by looking at them.

He took a careful look at Zhao Tuo, then grinned, "So it's you, wait a moment, and I'll call Li Dian over."

"only."

Zhao Tuo responded. He was new here, so 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 gate didn't go inside to find someone, but went behind the gate and found a hemp rope hanging from somewhere. When he pulled it suddenly, there was a burst of crispness. The bell rang.

Immediately afterwards, a few children playing with bamboo horses in the alleyway in Li Nei shouted happily.

"Ridian, Lidian, someone called."

"Ridian Lidian, someone is looking for it."

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

Zhao Tuo blinked.

Good guy, there is such a communication system in this small Chaoyang.

After a while, an old man with a gray beard came out from the inside. He first looked at Zhao Tuo and Heng suspiciously, and then took the inspection biography in the prison gate's hand and read it.

"Zhao Tuo, right?"

Li Dian returned the biography to Zhao Tuo and said, "The township department has ordered you to come with me before."

"Thank you Ridian."

Zhao Tuo hastily cupped his hands in thanks, his body on the side was a little stiff, seeing Zhao Tuo winking, he reluctantly cupped his hands.

As a native of Zhao State, he was educated to hate Qin State and Qin people since he was a child. Although he has slowly accepted the fact that Qin State will annex the world under Zhao Tuo's brainwashing, he is willing to let go of his hatred and live a good life, but It was still hard to get used to it for a while.

Li Dian saw Zhao Tuo's extraordinary bearing, coupled with the talisman issued by Xianyang in his possession, it was assumed that the other party's identity was unusual, so he didn't dare to delay, so he quickly took Zhao Tuo into the depths of the village, pointing to a mansion and saying : "This house was originally owned by the public servants of Lizhong. He was fined and confiscated for violating the law. Now it belongs to you."

"only."

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

I, Zhao Tuo, also have a family.

During the Qin Dynasty, taboos were practiced. For example, during the Qin Wangzheng period, "Chu State" was called "Jing State" to avoid the taboo of his father "Zi Chu".

At the same time avoiding the taboo of "Zheng", in the Qin bamboo slips, Lizheng is called "Lidian", and at the same time, "the first month" is changed to "Duanyue".

"Bamboo Slips of the Qin Tomb in Sleeping Tiger Land · Sealing Diagnosis Style": "There are five (five) three people in a certain Li Dian Jia".

"Historical Records The Moon between Qin and Chu": "The end of the second year of the second year." Sima Zhen Suoyin: "The first month of the second year of the second year. The Qin taboo is 'positive', so the moon is also in the clouds."

At the same time, in "Bamboo Slips of the Qin Tomb in Sleeping Tiger Land·Yushu", the word "zheng" is used in several places, and they are all written as "duan", such as "to straighten the hearts of the people", "the heart of not being fair", etc.
