Qin Official

"According to Master, the thief Jing Ke took a map and presented it to the king, pointing out the location of Dukang. Unexpectedly, the map was exhausted and the dagger appeared!"

"Alas!"

Although Heifu already knew this story from two years ago, he still pretended to be very surprised and listened to Chen Wujiu's bragging without blinking an eye. He was still thinking that maybe he could hear something different from the historical records. What's the inside story?

But Chen Wujiu said: "Qin's law states that when ministers are serving in the palace, they are not allowed to hold large-scale soldiers. The armed guards are all lined up outside the palace. They are not allowed to go to the palace unless there is an edict. At that time, the incident happened suddenly and there was chaos. At that moment, the doctor and the guards were unable to catch up, and the palace was in chaos. The ministers were eager to protect the king, so they could only stop Jing Ke with their bare hands, but Jing Ke was so agile and agile, how could he stop him?"

"At that time, the king had a sword on his back, but the sword was too long and he couldn't pull it out for a while while running. Seeing Jing Ke catching up again, he wanted to stab the king with a dagger!"

When Chen Wujiu said this, he deliberately paused to whet his appetite before continuing: "It just so happened that at this time, my wife, Xia Gongwuju, who happened to be the king's physician, was standing aside with a medicine bag on his back. He saw He immediately raised the medicine bag and threw it at Jing Ke to stop his movement! The king then walked around behind the pillar and drew his sword. The ministers on both sides also came over one after another and stepped forward to hold Jing Ke down. The king struck Jing Ke with his sword and struck him. On the left leg, blood was gushing like a fountain..."

Hearing this, Heifu pretended to be relieved and said: "Fortunately, the king has the blessing of Haotian and the medicine bag of Duke Xia, which prevented the thief Jing Ke from succeeding."

"Of course."

Chen Wujiu touched his short beard. This was his teacher's proud work. Every time Chen Wujiu taught it to outsiders, it could be regarded as a gift and a kind of sharing. What happened that day, but the secrets of the Qin Palace that only the person involved knew, Chen Wujiu would not want to tell him!

"After this incident, the king discussed his merits, rewarded all the officials, and gave my master two hundred yi of gold!"

"Two hundred yi!" Now Hei Fu was genuinely surprised.

In the Qin State, gold was the official currency and there were two units of weighing. Small units are given taels. Heifu and the others usually reward them by taels when they capture thieves. If they can get ten taels at a time, it is enough for the pavilion chief and the soldiers to smile.

Yi is a larger unit than "liang", and one yi is equal to 24 taels. Usually when a person is said to be as rich as the country, he will be praised as having "a thousand pieces of gold", which means having a thousand pieces of gold.

Heifu calculated in his mind that one tael of gold was 576 yuan and one yi of gold was 13,824 yuan.

200 yi gold... Tsk, more than 2.7 million yuan!

Poverty limited Heifu's imagination. He had no idea about the prices in Xianyang City, but he knew that with more than two million yuan, he could basically buy all the shops in Anlu County, and then buy the entire Yunmengxiang. Most of the houses in the city are still left.

This is really a huge windfall. With this reward, Xia Wuge can transform from a not-so-rich doctor into a rich man in Qin!

No wonder Xia Wuqie was able to get the famous golden sore medicine from Qin State, which was all bought with money...

The intention of King Qin to reward Xia Wuji was also very obvious. The king's life was of the highest importance, and a medicine bag thrown in time was worth so much money!

Seeing that Heifu was "shocked" again, Chen Wujiu said with some pride: "Money is the second most important thing. The most important thing is that when discussing merit, the king commented on the master: Chief Heifu, do you know that the king What did you say?"

"What did you say?" Heifu really didn't know these details.

"The king said: If you don't love me, you can carry Jing Ke with a medicine bag!"

Chen Wujiu smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the profound meaning of this sentence. This was King Qin's affirmation of Xia Wujie's loyalty. After this incident, Xia Wuji rose from a low-status medical attendant to the rank of imperial physician of the Qin Kingdom...

"Now that the master is highly trusted by the king, if he is the one to submit the battlefield medical care strategy discussed by Commander Heifu and me to the king, the chances of it passing are extremely high!"

Chen Wujiu and Hei Fu had been bragging about Xia Wuji's deeds for so long. Chen Wujiu wanted to prove how much his wife was trusted by the King of Qin and that he was one of the closest people around the King.

However, in Heifu's view, it was true that Xia Wuji was trusted by King Qin, but as one of his many disciples, how high was Chen Wujiu's status in the sect? Not really.

"If he was really Xia Wuqie's favorite disciple, he would have risen to the top and been on duty in the Qin Palace. He wouldn't have just gotten a doctorate, and then came to Wei to join the army, working for a thousand people. A little doctor..."

Hei Fu didn't reveal this idea, and there was nothing he could do about it. The only way in front of him was Chen Wu Jiu. He only held back when giving advice and did not hand over all the medical knowledge he knew about later generations.

Heifu's guess was correct. Chen Wujiu's status among the many disciples in his sect was really not high. He could not compare with his son-in-law, who was regarded as his successor by Xia Wuji. He was not even given a secret recipe.

That's why Chen Wujiu, like Hei Fu, was eager for fame. After a detailed discussion with Hei Fu, he began to feel that the idea of ​​​​a battlefield medic might help him gain the attention of his wife, Xia Wuji.

So Chen Wujiu did as he said. After learning the bandaging techniques for battlefield rescue with Hei Fu for two days, he wrote down the cause and effect on the wooden slip. He also asked Hei Fu to come and look at it to prove that he had indeed written Hei Fu's name on it. There were no special "medical books" in the Qin State. Medical books, like divination, were circulated among the people, so Heifu, as the head of the village, cared about the treatment of golden sores and rescued the injured, which was not considered an overstep of his duties.

However, although Chen Wujiu patted his chest and gave his repeated assurances, Heifu still had some doubts about whether this slip could attract Xia Wuji's attention and whether it could be brought before the King of Qin's case.

Chen Wujiu's title means that he is a doctor, but he does not have the privilege of express delivery. The Qin State's public postal service does not help people deliver personal letters. Therefore, this letter can only be entrusted to Xianyang Ji who was injured and returned to Guanzhong to slowly send the officials back.

It is more than 1,400 miles from Waihuang to Xianyang, blocked by mountains and rivers. It will probably be more than a month before this letter reaches Xia Wuji.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not to mention a hero like King Qin Yingzheng. Anyone who can surround him with cronies is not a reckless person. Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. If Xia Wuqie was really interested in the contents of the letter, out of caution, he would even wait until the end of the war, call Chen Wujiu back, and witness it with his own eyes before Make next steps.

Even if everything goes well, and Xia Wuqie really writes a letter to the King of Qin for the ministers to discuss, it may not necessarily be accepted.

Battlefield rescue is different from treading water, the benefits are not so immediate, and some may even find it troublesome.

Not every king or general will cherish the life and death of soldiers. The millions of young men in the Qin State have all been incorporated into Fu Ji's system. If a man who fills ravines dies, countless Guizhou chiefs will follow behind. Even if they are rescued, most of them will become disabled. According to the Qin State's system, such disabled veterans must be placed in "hidden officials" to raise them. Why bother to rescue more useless people and let them waste resources and food?

Therefore, after watching the Guanzhong military official who carried the letter leave, unlike Chen Wu Jiu who was impatient, Hei Fu seemed much calmer.

"Whether this matter will be accomplished or not, whether there will be a reward or not, will all be decided in a few months. Now, I have to pretend that this is not the case!"

…

The carriage to Xianyang was slow, but Hei Fu’s new title came quite quickly!

Since becoming the commander of the village, Heifu's title upgrade is no longer linked to his personal beheading. Only through collective merit can he be promoted.

In the Battle of Waihuang, Heifu and his team reached level 17 in Tunde Beheading, completing the "Ying Lun" target, which is equivalent to a collective effort.

The military nobility law stipulates: "If there is a surplus, the generals and the commander of the army will be awarded the first level of nobility."

After the military judge verified that all the heads were OK, the rewards and punishments for everyone were written down and submitted to Wang Ben's camp under Daliang City, where they were confirmed by the legal officials in charge of military rewards and punishments.

So on the sixth day after the Qin army occupied Waihuang, Heifu's new title came down.

After receiving the wooden crown symbolizing the "non-changing" title, Heifu smiled.

"No change, okay! I like this title!"
