Qin Official

Before leaving the market, Heifu found an alley and put on new clothes.

By the way, when wearing clothes, you must also pay attention to the fact that the left collar must press the right collar to form a "Y" shape in the eyes of others. This is called "right lapel".

In the first few days when Heifu first came to this era, he made a lot of jokes. His mother was still nagging her silly son while helping him straighten his collar. You must know that if you wear it backwards and wear it like a barbarian or the "left fold" worn when the dead are buried, you will definitely be laughed at inhumanely.

When he put on new clothes, not only was his whole body much warmer, but Hei Fu was no longer the countryman in brown clothes. He became a well-dressed nobleman. He was tall and strong. Although he was a little darker, his appearance was not bad. He frequently attracted the attention of rural women visiting the evening market.

But in this case, the 350 money is gone.

Heifu stuffed the clothes he had changed into his robes, and after doing some calculations in his mind, he began to worry again.

"After the service is over, I plan to bring something to my mother, eldest brother, third brother, and my married sister ("already married" is underlined in bold font, readers who have followed me here should not think about it). . Come and go, it will be great to have half of the more than 1,100 rewards left by then."

No matter how much money there is, it is never enough, and Hei Fu is very distressed.

Although it was a good thing that he came to the county this time and got the title of Duke by chance, Heifu's life still has not changed qualitatively.

"When I go back, I have to think of a way to make money." Hei Fu had this idea.

But after these few days of observation, he discovered that in Qin State, do you want to make money within the scope of the law? Hey, easier said than done!

At that time, Shang Yang blocked all avenues except farming and fighting in order to give the people of Qin a "profit". Merchants were divided into special "market registrations" for management, and their status was low. No matter how rich they were, they could not do anything. You are not allowed to go out fully clothed.

In this way, people from different places of origin in the Qin State were clearly distinguished and engaged in different industries under the arrangement of the government, just like raccoon slaves catching mice, roosters crowing, and dogs guarding households, each performing their duties.

Heifu and the others are "soldiers" whose main duties are farming, fighting, and making money by thinking about it randomly. That is restlessness!

Just as I was thinking about it, the South Gate Campus arrived.

…

The so-called school field is a place for military training. The school field in Anlu County is located in an open space inside the south gate. It is about the size of a football field and can accommodate nearly a thousand people!

Ji Ying had been here before. He pointed and introduced that on the left side of the school grounds was the place where the county soldiers were stationed. This was the standing army in every county in the Qin State. It is said that many years ago, the "stepfather" of King Qin Yingzheng, the big brother Hou Lao Ai, the chief minister of JJ, made a rebellion and incited the soldiers of various counties in Guanzhong.

On the right side of the school grounds are the residences of the watchmen. There are some houses, but it is getting dark and Heifu cannot see the details clearly, so it must not be easy to live in.

There was a wooden fence outside the school grounds and a sentry post. Hei Fu and Ji Ying walked over to identify themselves. The two county guards guarding the gate looked at them with suspicion. They held the bamboo slips written by the county jailer and were still unsure. The idea is to let them in.

Finally, the two decided to let one person watch them while the other went in to inform the two hundred generals here.

"I heard that Anlu County can recruit thousands of people. The left lieutenant of the county is the leader of two to five hundred people during the war, and the right lieutenant is the leader of five hundred people." While waiting, Ji Ying said to Hei Fu.

Heifu nodded. He probably knew the military establishment of the Qin State. Generally speaking, the daily establishment was divided into six levels, namely: five troops, with one commander; For a village, there is one captain; for two villages, there is one hundred general; for five hundred people, there is one leader of five hundred; for one thousand people, there is one leader of two to five hundred. During wartime, there was a larger-scale "divisional system" in which thousands of people were organized into a unit, led by lieutenants and generals.

In peacetime, it is of course impossible for Anlu County to recruit so many people, so only two hundred generals, also known as "centurions", are stationed here, responsible for managing 100 county soldiers, and recruiting them for corvee service every month. More than a hundred soldiers were trained.

Speaking of this, Ji Ying suddenly said: "Brother Heifu, you are now a public servant, you have martial arts skills, and you are famous in the county. You may become a corps commander or a commander this time!"

It's a good thing he didn't mention it. When he said this, Hei Fu couldn't help but feel something in his heart.

"Although the positions of corps commander and chief are small and temporary, they are also the beginning of military personnel. They are good for future resumes. Maybe I can give it a try."

Just as he was talking, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded inside the wooden door of the school grounds. Heifu took a closer look and saw that an officer was walking over menacingly with a group of soldiers.

When the officer arrived, he was seen wearing a long jacket, armor, and a long crown on his head. His legs were tied with strings, and his feet were wearing light shoes. He held a sword in one hand, and his face was full of beards and he was serious in speech.

Heifu and Heifu saluted him knowingly, but the officer looked at them and asked calmly: "Are you the soldiers who came to serve? Shiwu Heifu, Ji Ying?"

Hei Fu promised: "It's us."

Ji Ying reminded the officer: "Sir, Mr. Hei has been promoted to a public servant..."

The officer glared: "I don't care whether you are a soldier or a sergeant, you are just a soldier! It was clearly stated during the recruitment that we will gather before noon on the first day of October, why are you late!"

Sunrise is one of the twelve hours of the Qin Kingdom, which is equivalent to 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock in later generations. At that time, Hei Fu was still arguing with people in the county jail. How could he get there...

So Heifu explained: "We were delayed for most of half a day because we were assisting the county jail in hearing the case. We have a slip written by the jailer to prove it."

The officer did not listen to their explanation, nor did he read the simple letter handed over by the county soldier next to him. He said with a straight face: "You still dare to quibble, second or third son, take these two down!"

"Wei!" After the promise was made, the county soldiers immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and pushed Ji Ying to the ground first!

"We are wronged!" Ji Ying shouted again, but to no avail.

Then, the remaining five or six people gathered around to take down Heifu. Heifu didn't resist. They twisted his arms and pinned him down in front of General Bai. His face was pressed against the cold ground, and he was choked by dust as he breathed. Nose, a strong sense of humiliation surged out of my heart!

At this moment, Hei Fu was a little confused.

He knew that the county lieutenant's office was responsible for recruiting guards. The county prison had already sent a message there and wrote a certificate to Heifu, explaining the cause and effect, and allowing them to come back tomorrow morning. However, out of caution, Heifu came today. .

Unexpectedly, the hundreds of generals in front of them were so unreasonable that they captured them on the spot without waiting for Hei Fu and his wife to explain!

This is really unreasonable. Is there any law or discipline left?

Obviously I have never met him, so there is no enmity or enmity!

etc!

What did the jailer Le said to him before he left?

"When you get to the watchman, be careful!"

Heifu suddenly woke up. Could it be that there was any connection between the lawsuit that had just ended and what he was experiencing now?

At this time, I saw the hundred generals standing in front of Hei Fu with his hands folded, and said contemptuously: "There are rumors outside that Hei Fu, the watchman from Yunmengxiang, is very skilled in martial arts. He can fight three thieves with his bare hands, and he can capture thieves by worshiping him." Jue. Now it seems that he is a coward. Let me ask you, aren't you very skilled in martial arts? Why didn't you grab the blade to resist?"

Heifu tried his best to raise his head, looking past the tips of his shoes and his long undershirt, and fixed his eyes on the bearded general's face, firmly remembering his appearance, and then smiled instead of getting angry.

"If I resist, wouldn't I be playing into the hands of my superiors?"

"Bold!" Baijiang's face changed and he called to everyone: "Second and Third Son, these two will be punished for the crime of default!"
