Qin Official

As far as Heifu knows, after Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State was divided into twenty ranks of nobles, from the lowest ranks of Gongshi and Shangzao to the highest ranks of Guanneihou and Chehou.

According to Qin laws, if you get a title, you can get fields, houses, and servants and slaves to work for you. Every time you advance to a level, your benefits will increase. You can transform from a poor man without a foothold into a small landowner, a big landowner or even a prince with his own fiefdom!

The higher the title, the higher the position.

Heifu guessed that in history, the reason why the Heifu brothers died in battle was because they served as soldiers who charged into the battle.

But if he already had a title when he was recruited, as an officer, having his own subordinates is equivalent to holding his own life in his hands. As long as he is careful, he will definitely have a chance to survive!

I want to think about it, but right now, Hei Fu is only a level 0 soldier. Let alone a doctor or an official, even a level 1 Duke is not easy to earn.

If you want to get a title in the Qin Kingdom, there are probably the following ways. The fastest way is to behead people on the battlefield and perform meritorious service!

Qin law stipulates: "The person who beheads one head will be ranked first." The title of "Gongshi" that the eldest brother inherited was obtained by his father who killed several times on the battlefield and finally cut off a head in exchange for it. He suffered injuries all over his body and died a few years after returning...

In addition, a title can also be obtained by diligently farming, reporting traitors, catching thieves, and accumulating achievements as a small official. The problem is that farming will not be effective for three to five years. Reporting traitors and catching thieves are rare. As for doing Little official...

At present, Hei Fu is just a young man who has just grown up and has no connections and achievements. Who will appoint him as an official? The reason why Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was able to become the pavilion chief of the Qin Dynasty was because of his reputation as a ranger in the countryside in his early years, which the fledgling Heifu did not have.

There are so many thoughts, like the violent rain outside, crackling on the tiles, and the guest house is like a lonely boat floating in the stormy waves of Yunmeng Ze.

Heifu felt that he was also a small boat in this era of great changes, being swept up in the current. Even though he knew the general trend of "The King of Qin swept Liuhe, He Xiongzai was looking at him", but due to his background, he couldn't find a way to join in... …

In this way, after a sleepy night, Heifu got up early the next morning. When he opened the door, the rain outside had stopped. The "doctor"'s carriage was still parked in the yard. It was painted red and black, so beautiful. The two horses, one white and one black, had been put on the reins and were ready to set off at any time. Unfortunately, he had to go all the way to the county seat. , I'm afraid I'm going to get blisters all over my feet.

After wiping his face with water dripping from the eaves, Heifu left the guest house. There was someone waiting for him at the door. It was Ji Ying who talked about "Jing Ke's assassination of Qin" last night. Coincidentally, he said that he was a soldier from Jinshui Township and was going to serve in the county.

Without waiting for Hei Fu to say anything, Ji Ying eagerly wanted to join him: "We still have half a day to go to the county, so why not go together and take care of him."

Hei Fu was right when he thought about it. The two of them served together, which was considered a blessing. They would have to get along day and night for the next month, so he and Ji Ying went together.

The terrain of Anlu County is low in the south and high in the north. In the south is Yunmengze, which is flat and fertile, so it is called "Yunmeng Township"; in the middle, there is Jingshui River flowing through it, and it merges into Yunmengze, and there are river valleys and plains, which is called "Jinshui Township". ; To the north are hills and hills, with layers of mist showing out, and where the county seat is located. Hei Fu and his wife slowly walked north along the road beside Yunmeng Ze.

After a night of heavy rain, Yunmeng Daze returned to calm. Fish jumped out of the water and egrets paced slowly on the shallows. Ji Ying is a local soldier and is very familiar with this area. In addition, he is a talkative person. He introduced the local customs and scenery to Heifu all the way.

"Hei Fu, do you know that this Anlu County, and even the entire Nan County, was still the land of the Chu Kingdom more than fifty years ago."

"Nature knows."

Heifu nodded. Nanjun was Hubei Province in later generations, and was also the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom. Jiangling, where it was governed, was Yingcheng, the capital of Chu. Decades ago, Qin general Bai Qi attacked Chu. In the Battle of Yanying, more than 100,000 Chu people were drowned and the Chu army was scattered. King Qingxiang of Chu abandoned the capital and fled to the east. Only then did Qu Yuan throw himself into the river in grief and anger. All in all, three generations ago, Hei Fu's ancestor was also from Chu, and the sound of Chu has not changed to this day.

"Then you should know that this Yunmengze area is the hunting garden of the King of Chu. My grandfather once told me about the grand hunting scene of the King of Chu in those days. It is said that thousands of horses were tied together, the sky was covered with banners, and Si and tigers were chased. You have to run all over the place, and you can shoot a moose to death with just a raise of your hand and a bow..."

After finishing speaking, Ji Ying licked his lips again. After talking all the way, Heifu almost understood the temperament of this person of the same age. He was talkative, clever, and a bit greedy, so he laughed at him and said, "Do you want to eat meat again?"

"Who wouldn't?"

Ji Ying asked back, but patted his thin belly and sighed: "Unfortunately, Yunmengze has dried up a lot recently, and all kinds of wild animals have migrated to other places. Even Xiaoze, which is close to the road and can be used for fishing, is now No one dares to go.”

Heifu asked curiously: "Why is this?"

"Because recently many dead people have fled south and escaped into the lake to become thieves! I heard that many merchants and fishermen passed through this place, and their property was robbed and their lives were lost! The county has repeatedly ordered nearby pavilions to be hunted down, but they always Let the thief escape. That's why I asked you to go together."

"The dead are robbers?" Hei Fu couldn't help but look into the distance. The water here is continuous and the shrubs are growing there. It is indeed a good place for the fallen grass to turn into bandits and rob homes.

Nanjun is intertwined with the Jiangnan region of the Chu State. It is densely covered with mountains and forests, and is crisscrossed by rivers and lakes. Whether it is the dead people from the Qin State evading military service or the refugees from the Chu State, they all like to run to Yunmeng Ze.

In an official document "Yushu" published in April this year, even Nanjun's prefect Teng reluctantly admitted that Nanjun was the area with the most obscene customs and the worst public security among the counties in Qin. Anlu County was the hardest hit area. There were many thieves in groups on the shore, and the people in this area did not dare to go out alone.

Heifu was not afraid. He spent three years in the police academy in vain, and he still learned some fighting skills. He could deal with one or two bandits without a problem, so he patted the dagger on his waist and said with a smile: "If those thieves don't If you have long eyes and it harms you and me, that means the other generation picked the wrong person!"

"What a strong black man!" Ji Ying laughed loudly, and he was also very happy, patting his chest and boasting: "Actually, I also have some martial arts skills. In Jianshui Township, who knows Ji Ying's name in the river mouth..."

Hei Fu looked at his thin monkey-like body and smiled without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, at the end of the path covered by bushes in front of him, countless mallard ducks were frightened and flew away. Then, they shouted for help at the top of their lungs: "There is a thief! Help! Help!"

"Thieves?" Ji Ying, who had been so arrogant just now, immediately fell to the ground with excitement.

Heifu stood up straight and squinted to observe what was happening over there. In the distance, he saw a person crawling out of the bushes and running towards the road. After a while, he ran out again from the other side. Several men in ragged clothes and armed with ferocious expressions chased after him.

The direction in which they were running and chasing was exactly where Heifu and Ji Ying were!

"one two three four……"

Ji Ying briefly calculated the number of people and retreated in his heart: "There are four thieves, and they are holding sharp knives. I'm afraid we can't deal with them. Hei Fu, you and I should stay away..."

No one answered. When Ji Ying turned around, he was surprised to find that Heifu had already stood up and strode out!

"What are you doing!"

Ji Ying was shocked and wanted to run away by himself, but then he remembered something. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and followed out, chasing after him while cursing: "Hei Fu, you don't want your life!"

Heifu turned around and found that Ji Ying had followed him. He couldn't help but glance at him and said with a smile: "The land here is vast and flat. We can't hide or run far. Why don't we help that person? Three Against four, you don’t necessarily lose. Besides, if you don’t save your life, and the government finds out about it afterwards, you and I will both be punished.”

In his previous life, he was a man with very upright views. Friends said he had a chivalrous spirit. After entering the police academy, I have a greater sense of responsibility.

Now that he is a second-generation human being, facing thieves who block the road, rob and kill people, Hei Fu still chooses the road without hesitation and roars when there is injustice, and takes action when it is time to take action!

Besides, eldest brother Zhong once mentioned that in the Qin State, those who refuse to save someone will be punished, but if they can catch thieves, they will be rewarded!

The opportunity you have been looking for for so long is right in front of you, why are you still hesitating?

He strode forward, pulled out the dagger from his waist, held it in his right hand like a fighting dagger, and let out the first long roar after coming to this era!

"Thief, Mr. Hei is here, don't be arrogant!"
