Qin Official

"The Yan people are extremely cunning. They actually used the map as a pretext and concealed a sharp blade in order to assassinate the king..."

"Alas!"

The people next to him took a breath of air and listened carefully to Ji Ying's thrilling story. It wasn't until I heard that the king was fine that he breathed a sigh of relief. They cursed the assassin and the country of Yan, and at the same time said happily:

"The king is protected by God, and nothing will happen to him."

It can be seen that, at least for now, King Qin Yingzheng is still as high as the sky in the minds of ordinary Qin people and is highly respected.

Only Hei Fu felt sorry for Jing Ke and could not help but sing softly: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never come back when he is gone..."

When he came back to his senses, he realized that several people in the room were looking at him with strange eyes. Heifu quickly shut up and excused himself with a smile: "It's a northern song I heard from my brother. He went there when he was serving in the army. Zhao Di.”

"It's very majestic and touching." Ji Ying and others did not doubt his presence, did not take him seriously, and continued chatting.

Heifu was lost in thought.

He heard from his eldest brother that three years ago (230 BC), South Korea was attacked and destroyed by Teng, the current prefect of Nanjun; one year ago (228 BC), Handan, the capital of Zhao, was also occupied by the Qin army, and he sincerely returned the favor. participated in that battle.

Now, Jing Ke's assassination of the King of Qin has also happened, which means that the Yan Kingdom will soon be finished!

As a history buff, Heifu knew the next script: In retaliation, King Qin Yingzheng sent a large army to attack Yan. Next year, Yan's capital was destroyed, Prince Dan was killed, and King Yan retreated to Liaodong.

At the same time, the Qin army is still attacking Daliang City, and Wei will soon perish.

As a result, the State of Qin has swept across the north, and the sword of King Qin Yingzheng is about to point towards the State of Chu in the south!

"In other words, in two years' time, the Qin-Chu war will break out in full force."

Heifu counted on his fingers and secretly thought that something was wrong. Those seemingly distant world events were closely related to him. As the Qin army won one victory after another, death was slowly approaching him.

The war between Qin and Chu lasted for several years. At its peak, Qin general Wang Jian mobilized 600,000 men... Nanjun was close to Chu and was a heavy recruiting ground. As a local soldier, Heifu would certainly not be spared.

What should he do when the conscription order is handed to him?

escape! ?

This idea just flashed through his mind, and was immediately rejected by Heifu.

no! The Qin State was very harsh on "dead people" who escaped military service. Once captured, not only would they be tortured into slavery, but their family members and neighbors would also be implicated and punished. If one person escapes, the whole family will suffer.

Even if he did escape, where could he escape to? Although Anlu County is not far from Chu State, as long as you are careful and avoid Guanliang, it is not difficult to get there. However, the unification of Qin State is the general trend, and the demise of the six kingdoms is only a matter of sequence.

It is useless even if he leaves the Central Plains. In the future, Qin Shihuang will conquer all areas of the known world. How do you say that? "Within Liuhe, the emperor's land stretches across the quicksand in the west, ends in Beihu in the south. There is the East China Sea in the east, and Daxia in the north. Wherever people go, there are all ministers." Even if Heifu fled to the ends of the earth, he would eventually fall into the hands of Qin rule.

Besides, although the people of Qin have to pay heavy taxes and deal with intensive labor and military service, which is a bit harder than that of the rich Central Plains, and their spiritual world is not as rich as the people of Qi, the most important point is: after all, here is a place for the lower class people It provides a fair and just promotion channel, that is, the military merit system!

Not only reincarnation is a science, but also time travel. In those novels, those who become concubines, sons and grandsons of the Qing clan as soon as they open their eyes are really enviable. If he had a good background, he would of course be more suitable to live in another country and do whatever he wanted. But as a commoner with no background but full of ideals, it would be better to stay in Qin.

"What are you criticizing? If someone talks nonsense and slanders the king and the government, don't blame me for going to accuse him of adultery!"

At this time, Shicai slowly brought hot soup and did not forget to give a warning.

No one dared to say anything. They winked at each other, stopped talking, stood up and took the hot soup.

The talkative Ji Ying just took a sip and complained: "Old man, this soup is too bland, as bland as water!"

Lao Sheren glared at him: "If you don't like soup, just go out and drink rainwater!"

Ji Ying then stopped complaining and muttered quietly behind Lao Sheren.

Hei Fu was amused in his heart. Although this guest house was not big, it was well repaired and could at least block the rain. People had to bow their heads under the eaves. No one dared to offend Lao Sheren. They were driven outside to soak in the rain. These people were either untitled soldiers or low-level civil servants. They really couldn't be looked down upon. One glance.

After casually dealing with Mr. Hei and others, Lao Sheren went into the kitchen again. When he came out after a while, there was a young girl behind him. She was wearing brown clothes and holding a tray of food and boxes in her hands. She followed Lao Sheren step by step. It should be his daughter.

Although this girl was not beautiful, she immediately attracted the attention of the fireside servants. Ji Ying, who had an outgoing temperament, wanted to whistle, but finally did not dare. He just stood up, looked at the delicate meal on the tray, and swallowed it. He drooled and asked, "Old man, who are you sending this meal to?"

Sheren still had no temper to pay attention to them, and sneered: "This is for the doctor Zuoshe. If you want to eat it, you should raise your title first!"

The doctor is the 5th rank of the 20th rank of the Qin Kingdom, which is already considered a middle rank.

Ji Ying had no choice but to squat down again and stare at the girl's twisting waist for a long time. After she disappeared from sight, he said angrily: "I saw that there was not only polished rice and clear syrup in that plate, but also There is meat! She even took her daughter to deliver it in person. Could it be that she wants the doctor to take her as his concubine? This old man is not shy and can really do it!"

"After all, he is a doctor, so his treatment is naturally different from that of our fellow soldiers."

Hei Fu couldn't help but sigh. Unlike Ji Ying, who was cynical, he sat down silently and took out the food prepared by his mother for him from his bag: "糇" (hóu), which means steamed rice exposed in the sun to become dry food. Although it can fill the stomach, the taste is really not flattering.

He could only smell the fish and meat coming from next door and swallow the dry rice. What reached my ears were Lao Sheren's respectful and flattering words. Compared with his previous attitude, it was really a huge difference.

This incident made Heifu understand better that the Qin State was a hierarchical society, and treatment was entirely determined by title.

Not only were the food different, but the living quarters were also different. Common people like Heifu and others who were passing by could only sleep on the ground. Those who have not changed their title are equivalent to junior clerks and can sleep in Datongbu. For example, the doctor next door, equivalent to the county bureau-level cadres in later generations, had a special room to rest, and maybe the family's daughter would wash and massage his feet...

Alas, there are differences between people.

By the time Heifu finished his meal with hot soup, the night was already very late. Lao Sheren forgot to add firewood to the stove in the big house, and the fire quickly went out. The surrounding area became colder and colder, and the soldiers could only huddle together to keep warm.

The others had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment and quickly fell asleep, with snoring everywhere in the room, but Heifu couldn't sleep. He was still thinking about his future plans.

"People are divided into three, six or nine grades. This has been the case since ancient times."

In the darkness, thinking about what he had experienced these days, Heifu clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind: "I finally understand. If you want to live a good life in Qin, if you want to get rid of the fate of filling ravines, the only way right now is to , just get the title!”
