Chapter 521: Know the world without going out (1 update)
"This is actually Anche!"
Zhou Bo took a closer look and couldn't help but exhale.
"Installing the car?" Liu Ji looked at Zhou Bo.
"Look carefully at that car. Is it any different from other cars?"
The carriage Xiao He was riding in seemed no different at first glance. Two horses pulled a wooden cart, which was painted with black and red paint. It looked like the style of the Qin Dynasty.
But the wheels on this carriage were covered with thick grass.
Walking on the dirt road, not only is there no sound, but it is also very smooth.
"Anche is a small car specially designed for riding. An ancient car has a standing carriage, so it is called anche. This kind of car is specially for elderly high-ranking officials and ladies."
"However, in the Qin State, officials have more power than the nominal nobles. Therefore, the Qin State gave high-ranking officials retirement and return to their hometowns or recruited promising people to ride in an Anchai. An extra horse is used for an Anchai, and a horse for the honorable person is used. Four horses.”
Liu Ji was puzzled, "That is, one horse is used for ordinary people, and four carts are used for treating particularly noble people."
Zhou Bo explained, "Xiao officials use two horses, which means they are more noble than ordinary people. This is also in line with his status as an official and is in compliance with the law."
After Zhou Bo finished speaking, he couldn't help but praise, "I'm going to invite Xiao Li to come out. I'm afraid he will have to work for the big shots of Qin in the future."
Liu Ji's mind was spinning rapidly.
Isn't the big man talking about the prince of Qin? Liu Ji sat on a chopped tree stump, thinking in his mind.
Official Xiao has always been very kind to me, but now he has been recommended to Prince Qin because of his outstanding talents.
In other words, Prince Qin came to Peixian County to recruit talented people!
Liu Ji suddenly figured it out, but this sudden change also made Liu Ji feel a huge gap.
At this time, Liu Ji felt that he had fallen into an abyss and had not climbed out for decades. Xiao He was suddenly stretched out by a passing dragon and easily pulled out of the abyss.
It is impossible to say that I am not jealous.
However, Liu Ji is no ordinary ordinary person. He calmed down quickly.
"People like Xiao Li should be reused. After all, he is capable and has been doing so for ten years. If he stays in Peixian County, his talents will be buried. When he becomes famous and becomes a high official in the future, then It can benefit the people of one place.”
Liu Ji looked down at the straw sandals on his feet.
Seeing Liu Ji like this, Zhou Bo couldn't help but comfort him, "Official Xiao has always valued you. Maybe he will recommend you to that noble man."
Liu Ji looked up at Zhou Bo but did not express his thoughts. What he wants to do is to be an upright person. What can he bring to the prince of Qin?
Liu Ji looked at Zhou Bo and suddenly laughed heartlessly.
"Let's go buy wine for Mr. Xiao. To celebrate his promotion, he will leave this small place."
Zhou Bo was pulled by Liu Ji, but his face also looked worried about gains and losses.
In that era, being a farmer in the evening and ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the morning were as illusory as a dream.
But when something like this happened to Peixian, it only happened to a friend he knew.
Zhou Bo walked a few steps and sighed twice.
"He has that rich destiny."
Liu Ji was sometimes happy for his brother, and sometimes wondered whether Xiao He would remember him and promote him to be a county magistrate after he became rich.
Sometimes, Liu Ji became discouraged, lowered his head, pulled out the weeds on the roadside, and sucked them. He advised himself that maybe being an old farmer in Peixian County for the rest of your life is your destiny. Liu Ji was walking on the road. He looked up at the sky. The blue sky was endless and white clouds stretched east and west.
Looking at the vast sky, Liu Ji felt much better.
"Well, it can be considered a happy event. If someone else is recruited, I will dig a hole for him halfway."
Liu Ji put his arms around Zhou Bo's shoulders and said, "The future king will come to invite Xiao He. This matter will shock the world. In the future, Xiao Li will become famous, and the brothers will all be Xiao Li's brothers when he was young."
Zhou Bo looked at Liu Ji, originally quite sad about this, but when his brother said this, the two of them immediately started laughing.
"If he doesn't recognize us, we'll say bad things about him. Anyway, he's leaving to be the person next to King Qin in the future."
"Hahaha!" Liu Ji laughed wildly.

In the car, Xiao Hean was sitting, but his heart seemed to be at a loss.
In fact, when Xiao He was young, he had always listened to his parents' instructions and knew that Qin was a country that treated people as tools. Moreover, if any of his relatives died, they were inseparable from the Qin State.
Over time, he, like the people around him, was full of resistance to Qin since he was a child.
But occasionally, he would feel that Qin Wangzheng was the one who conquered the six kingdoms in order to unify the world.
When the world is unified and there are no more wars, there will be no need to die anymore.
But after Peixian County fell into the hands of Qin and saw with his own eyes how the Qin people treated the Chu people, Xiao He's last illusion was shattered.
The final period of the Warring States Period was a period when the authority and credibility of the aristocracy were at their lowest. The confidence of the common people was rapidly expanding during this period. This was also an era when the common people began to awaken to their own value.
Everyone wants to get a rope and climb up.
The King of Qin was the smartest fisherman in the world at that time. He used his power and position to throw down a lot of bait, and then took out all the fishing rods in the Qin State.
Therefore, those who got on the rope were grateful to King Qin.
Absolute authority, absolute leadership, and an absolute militarized system made the entire Qin State be twisted into a rope, just to realize the dream of the supreme ruler of Qin State.
But they don’t ask the people if they are willing.
But these ropes allowed many people to climb up from the bottom. But because too many ropes fell down, more tragedies arose.
The common people of the Six Kingdoms are the main players responsible for the tragedy of this era.
There are people crawling on these ropes. In order to hold on to the rope, they are bound to attack each other.
As long as one person in the family grasps the rope, he will inevitably pull his family members up, but the position on the rope is limited. If he wants to pull his family members, he will inevitably frame and slander other people.
This is Xiao He’s thinking on Qin’s political ecology.
Although he has never been to other places, he can know the current situation of Qin's court just by listening to the chats of officials and even county magistrates who came from Qin.
Almost every day we are fighting for power and intrigue!
Such a country is extremely chaotic and dangerous internally, and has no spare power to take care of its people.
Xiao He not only had a glimpse of the political environment of Qin's court, but also the life of Qin's people.
A simple summary is that the people at the bottom of the Qin State are also very miserable and live a very hard life.
Throughout the country, in counties and villages, men are often missing. They were all sent out to fight.
