I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty
Chapter 92 Welcome to Master Wang
Chapter 92 Welcome to Master Wang
In Xianyang City, everything is orderly.
Although there were some unfamiliar faces on the street, and their language and clothes were far from those of Qin, the people of Qin did not reject them.
"Hu Zhong, didn't you say goodbye to me a few days ago, why did you invite me to your house for dinner today?" A middle-aged man asked in surprise after being stopped by someone while walking on the road.
Hu Zhong shook his head and said, "It's different today. A few days ago my family was conscripted into a corvée. If I didn't run away, then I was designated to deliver supplies to the front line. Doesn't that make me die in vain?"
"That's true." The man nodded in reply.
As early as two or three years ago, he served corvee once, and he knew how bad the food and accommodation environment was, it was a terrible job, not to mention that the other party was still in charge of delivering supplies to the front line, if he really wanted to go, he probably wouldn't be able to come back.
Hu Zhong said with emotion: "Fortunately, there is a new person in charge of Xianyang now, otherwise you won't be able to see me today, Lao Huang."
Looking at each other, Lao Huang took a deep breath and said, "Yes, after those people entered the pass, they said they made an agreement with us to remove all the twists and turns of the original laws, leaving only the three rules of 'killers die, wounders and thieves need to be sentenced', which is really good."
After a long period of high pressure, the sudden reduction of the oppression brought by the law made them completely relieved, as if they were completely alive again.
Moreover, these three articles are still easy to understand, based on the simple moral foundation of ordinary people, so they are more recognized.
Hu Zhong smiled and said: "I heard that many people went to reward the army with food, wine, cattle and sheep, but they were all rejected."
"It's really a group of good people." Lao Huang agreed, "When I go to your house for dinner, I still have a jar of good wine at home. It's good to celebrate that you don't have to serve corvee and you can settle down again."
"How dare you keep your wine private and not tell me? It's too disrespectful. You brought the wine here tonight. If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Hu Zhong snorted first, then smiled happily.
The two laughed out loud, talked side by side and left.
And a certain passer-by surnamed Chen who had been wandering around them nodded in satisfaction and left.
It seems that the old Qin people in Guanzhong have already reached the limit of their tolerance for the rule of the Qin Dynasty.
The reason why there was no large-scale uprising was because there was inertia to maintain it, and after Fusu proclaimed himself emperor, he briefly implemented a policy of reducing taxes, which barely won a wave of people's hearts.
However, all of this followed the defeat of the Great Qin Dynasty, and after the anti-Qin coalition forces entered Guanzhong, they did not burn, kill and loot, but tried their best to maintain order and temporarily exempted the original complicated laws and regulations.
For a moment, the people of Qin, who had been subjected to all kinds of corvee and taxes, felt extremely relaxed, and instantly forgot the original Qin Dynasty.
Of course, it will be another story to wait until the hearts of the people here have completely surrendered before restarting the law and stabilizing the rule.
Thinking of this, Chen Luo stretched his waist and walked towards his original destination.
Former Qin Prime Minister's Mansion.
There were two soldiers standing at the door with serious expressions, threatening to take advantage of the chaos in the city and try to come in and loot.
"Thank you Xiao Xiangguo, if you were not willing to send guards over, otherwise, my mansion would be coveted by many people." Feng Quji put his figure extremely low, with a flattering smile on his face.
If others had seen such an expression on the face of the majestic Prime Minister Qin half a year, or even half a month ago, their jaws would have dropped in shock.
However, Feng Quji was able to recognize the situation clearly and knew that his status was no longer honorable.
Even his once honorable status would cause trouble for himself.
So when Xiao He came to the mansion, he immediately adjusted his position, trying to cling to this big tree that could enjoy the shade.
Such an approach can at least allow him to survive, isn't it smarter than Meng Tian who saw Fusu set himself on fire in Xianyang Palace and killed himself in grief and indignation?
Feng Quji sighed inwardly.
Wouldn't he want to die for his country?
But the fire is too hot!
Therefore, he could only take the lead in offering the jade seal instead of Meng Tian's original duties.
Xiao He smiled: "Feng Youcheng doesn't need much..."
Feng Quji was taken aback, and interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Don't you want to call me that, Xiao Xiangguo. How can I be called Prime Minister again when I was the right minister of the former dynasty? If people hear it, they may think that I still have the heart to restore the country. You can just call me by my name."
Seeing the other party's cooperation, Xiao He's original worries disappeared.
Originally, he thought that Feng Quji would come out with integrity to make things difficult for him, a "rebellious minister and traitor", but now it seems that the other party is still very knowledgeable about current affairs.
So Xiao He smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "I came here this time to ask for something from Mr. Feng as a reward. If you encounter trouble in Xianyang later, you can come to seek my help."
Since the other party is willing to cooperate, Xiao He is still unwilling to use the means of extortion.
Feng Quji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.
As long as he is useful and can be exchanged for the protection of the other party, then even if he is a former courtier, it should not be a problem for him to live in peace and stability until the arrival of the new era.
So he said gratefully: "Why does Xiao Xiangguo need to be so polite? Although there are not many gold, silver, pearls and jade in my mansion, there are still some. If you fancy something here, except for my head, you can take the rest by yourself."
Xiao He then said: "I heard that the data of the census of household registration in the territory of the Qin Dynasty usually has a backup in the prime minister's mansion, as well as the situation of dangerous fortresses and taxes, there are also archives.
The records in Xianyang Palace are now lost with Fusu's self-immolation, so these records on your mansion are the only copies left in this world, I hope I can take them away. "
Feng Quji opened his mouth, his eyes became a little different.
Letting out a breath slowly, he nodded with emotion: "In these days, there are countless people among you who want to come to me to take away your money, but Xiao Xiangguo is the only one who really sees that the most precious things in my mansion are those bamboo slips."
He was half flattering these words, meant to please Xiao He, and half was sincerely emotional, recalling his career as a prime minister.
Hearing the flattery, Xiao He smiled slightly.
In these days, it is rare to hear words that others understand about their actions.
Like Fan Kuai, he was scratching his head and asking himself why he didn't move a few more pieces of gold and silver, was it because he was weak and couldn't move.
What a stupid warrior!
He nodded at Feng Quji, and said in a kind tone: "Please lead the way ahead and lead me to the library."
But after he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the front door opening.
Feng Quji looked at Xiao He nervously, and shouted in a low voice, "Xiao Xiangguo?"
"It's okay, I'll go and have a look." Xiao He frowned slightly, "Can't they even guard the door? Obviously, I have ordered you not to let anyone in."
In the previous chapter, Fusu’s sentence was “Up to [-] cavalry”, and there was only a small pause in the middle. He was playing with the meme that the X Army has Gundam. Now I deleted the comma, so I shouldn’t have misunderstood it QAQ
