Chapter 63 The King

"Old man, the Qin law stipulates that the only son in the family does not need to be called into the army, why?" Ying Zheng asked a little puzzled.

Li Si and Gai Nie at the side also looked at the old man.

"Alas!" The old man sighed, glanced at the old woman, and then said: "For us old Qin people, having military merit and not having military merit are two different things. I used to follow Lord Wu'an and earned a lot of military merit. Later, Changping , after losing an arm, I have no choice but to farm at home."

Speaking of this, the old woman also calmed down under Zi Nu's appeasement, sat beside Zi Nu, and said: "This useless person has earned a lot of military exploits. Not to mention being a nobleman, at least he can change his mind." It is not a lot of land, so our family life can be better.

Who knows, the military merits have been obtained, but they want to exchange for land, but the county lord said that there is no land for the time being.Let's wait for those officials and lords to finish the distribution, and then give us some points if there is any left. "

"Then you should be living well now!" Ying Zheng asked.

Li Si studied as an ordinary person and has only now become a small envoy. His years of experience made him feel a little weird.

Looking at Zi Nu, she saw that she was looking at the hot wheat rice in her hand at this time, tasted a few mouthfuls and said, "Old man, when I saw you cooking just now, it seems that there is not much food left!"

"Hey!" The old man glanced at Zi Nu, smiled with difficulty and said, "Does my daughter dislike this barley rice? Why don't I go out and get some wild game?"

"Don't, don't, don't..." Zi Nu hurriedly grabbed the old man who was about to get up, and explained: "I didn't mean that, old man. Now your two sons haven't come back. Presumably, they went to other places to stick to it. I have to wait for some time before I can come back. However, your food is almost out now. My brothers and sisters ate this meal. I can’t eat yours in vain.”

Gai Nie understood, took out a few gold ingots and put them on the table.

"Use this money first!"

Zi Nu's words fell, but the old woman got up, took Zi Nu's hand and said: "Girl, you can't do it. We are looking at you beautiful, and we want to be a daughter-in-law for my two sons. You Don't comfort us either, the two brothers probably died in Zhao Guo. We just want to keep things in mind. Just don't take offense, and you take the money back, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you."

Seeing the old woman who kept wiping her tears, Zi Nu didn't say anything, she sat down slowly, picked up the rice and took a bite and said: "This rice is quite delicious. Brothers, please eat some too! "

Seeing what Zi Nu said, the woman sat down again.

A table of people ate and chatted without saying a word, and the meal lasted for an hour.

The old couple may have not seen outsiders for too long, and they had a lot of conversations with Zi Nu.

Looking at all this, Ying Zheng didn't know what to think in his heart.

After drinking and eating, the woman brought several people to the other two huts.

"These two rooms were originally prepared for my two sons, but they are not needed now. The four of you, the daughter, should live in the one next to our old couple, and the three of you should live in the other one! "

Ying Zheng looked at the old couple who sacrificed everything for Daqin, and said respectfully, "Thank you old man, don't worry, I will take care of your title and land affairs with me, and I will help you in the future."

The old man happily waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about me. Looking at your attire, and this girl's attire, you are not ordinary people. Don't worry about my military achievements. The old man will definitely Make decisions for us old Qin people.

You guys!If you are still young, you should contribute a lot to Daqin. When there is no need to fight, the world will be peaceful.If you have time to come to the old man to eat a bowl of wheat rice, the old man will be very grateful.It's getting late, you guys go to rest quickly!I'll ask the old woman to fetch the quilts for you. "

Looking at the bent back of the old man, the empty sleeve, as it swung, seemed to be teasing Ying Zheng's heart, which made it difficult for him to calm down.

The four of them were relatively silent, and Zi Nu took the old man's tattered quilt back to the house and went to sleep. Although the quilt was only made of linen, it was filled with some animal hair.

It looked extremely dilapidated, but compared to the three of Ying Zheng and the others, it was much better.

After looking at the quilt used by the old man, Zi Nu understood that this was already the best quilt in the old man's house.

Zi Nu didn't refuse, and took it directly.Go back to bed.

And Ying Zheng also took Li Si and Gai Nie to rest, but I don't know if some people can really sleep that night!

Old days
The morning sun shone on the avenue, and the carriage moved slowly.

In the carriage, Zi Nu looked at Ying Zheng with dark circles under her eyes, and smiled without saying a word.

In the morning, the four of them got up very early with an excellent tacit understanding. After Zi Nu tidied up the room, she left a few gold ingots in the quilt, and then quietly left with Ying Zheng and the others.

It's not that I don't want to give the elderly a little longer, but that too much money sometimes does not bring happiness, but disaster.

"Is this the life of my Qin people?"

Ying Zheng muttered to himself, living in the palace, he never imagined that behind the great Qin's prosperity, there were so many people living in such a difficult life.

Behind the heroic soldiers sweeping the world, there are families like old people. The throne of King Qin was created by countless people who spent their lives piling up silently.

When he was a proton in Zhao country, although he was bullied, he never had a difficult life like the old man.

Zinu, who was looking at Yingzheng from the side, denied it at this time: "In fact, their family lives fairly well in Daqin. The old man thinks that when he was young, he made a lot of military merits with Lord Wu'an, otherwise there would not be so many quilts. Yes. The king's feet will always be covered with bones, which are piled up with the blood of countless people.

Qin people like to fight, but they never want to do so.But because only in this way can there be a way to survive. "

"The girl once said that the law of Shangjun made my Great Qin prosperous and strong. But she is too fancy about the power of the emperor, and should follow the right way. If you want to ask for advice, what is the right way?"

Ying Zheng's serious and firm eyes moved Zi Nu. There has never been a tyrant, maybe it's just that he walked too fast, and many people didn't understand that's all.

"Water can carry a boat and overturn it. Great Qin is strong because of the common support of the Qin people. The King of Qin is the king supported by the old Qin people. All decisions are made based on the interests of the vast majority of the old Qin people. The decision-maker whose goal is for ordinary people to live a happy life is King Qin.

The king is the king supported by the people of the world. It is never because you are the king that the people in the world listen to you.

The people of Qin didn't ask much, they were nothing more than fairness and a desire to survive. As long as these two things were achieved, even if the Six Kingdoms attacked Xianyang, Qin would be safe and sound.

Because of the power of the human heart.It is the most terrifying force in the world, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
