Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 11 Small gain

"Master Pu, you are not afraid of your wife, are you?" A helper smiled and guessed wildly.

Pu Feng was just afraid of guilt, so he told people the truth, and he couldn't face it. He justified: "Don't talk nonsense, there is nothing wrong with it. My wife treats me well, the food is cooked well, the bed is warmed well, you have such a good Wife?"

Youdao is more and more smeared, the more he defends, the more he proves that he has a problem of fear of guilt, Zhou Chong suppressed his smile and said: "Master Pu doesn't like this one, let's change it. Qingqing, my poem, it is indeed not a big one. Yazhitang, you all have families, and you don't care about this."

Pu Feng was very grateful for the amnesty, but for the sake of face, he said to him: "That's right, they are all family-led people, and they still have that mood. Don't think about it, what kind of wealth is it, and it's not about being rewarded for meritorious service of."

The law of the Qin State clearly distinguishes between rewards and punishments, especially for military merits. Those who have meritorious service must be rewarded, and those who have committed faults must be punished without exception.In order to meet the needs of all heroes competing, Qin State rewarded military merits quite generously, and of course, punished them heavily.As long as you have made military achievements, you can live a life of a superior person, which is naturally higher than those without merit.This is what Pu Feng said when he said that he was rewarded for meritorious service.

Common people have a common feature: be content with your job!This rule is not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. As long as you can get by, you are fine, and there is no excessive requirement.These helpers are really duty-bound people, and they are very clear about their wealth, and said: "That's true. Master Zhou, what song are you singing?"

Zhou Chong thought for a while, then said: "Let's sing "Si Si". Come on, you sing with me. Si Si Kongfu, with six bridles in hand. Gong's charming son, follow the public to hunt. Bless Shi Shi Mu, Chenmu Kongshuo. The public said to Zuo, and if you give up, you will get it. Traveling in the North Garden, the four horses are at leisure. The car and the luan are chasing, and the scorpion rests on the arrogance."

This is "The Book of Songs Qin Feng Si Si", which is still a folk song of the Qin State. Zhou Chong thought that they should be able to sing it. Unexpectedly, it was the first time Pu Feng and the others heard it, and it became his solo .

After singing, the helpers applauded in unison, saying: "It sounds good, it seems to be some rich man hunting."

Hearing this, Zhou Chong was really confused, thinking that this is the grand occasion when the nobles of the Qin State went out to hunt, why don't you know about it?Explain to them: "The song said that the nobles of the Great Qin Kingdom took their servants, flying eagles, and cronies, and went out hunting in a light car. His men drove fat and fat prey to let them shoot. This noble I hid my arrows well, hit every shot, and the harvest was very rich."

"It's a noble from the Great Qin Kingdom, no wonder it's so dignified." The helpers respectfully and proudly said: "Not to mention, the people of our Great Qin Kingdom are better than Dongshan's, even hunting is so good. "

Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, the Qin State was very weak at the earliest, and it became strong after Shang Yang's reform.In the struggle for hegemony, the more they fought, the stronger they became, while the Shandong six countries became weaker as they fought, to the point where they became terrified when they heard the name of Qin.This may be a bit exaggerated, but one thing is certain, the people of Qin State are very proud that their country is stronger than the six Shandong countries.

In Chinese history books, Qin State is said to be a country of tigers and wolves, because Qin State uses its leader to discuss military exploits, so it is also known as "the country of the first meritorious service".Historians and Confucian scholars have mostly derogatory words for Qin, but few praises, and even the praises are very conservative.Zhou Chong has read a lot of history books, and was influenced by historians. He thought that the people of Qin State would not have much affection for him as a Qin State person, but he did not expect Pu Feng and the others to be proud of it. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly Remember a truth: Who is not proud of the strength of his country?

"You look down on Shandong people like this?" Zhou Chong became interested and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about their psychology.

Pu Feng wiped his lips and said: "It's not that we look down on them, it's their own actions that make us look down on them. People, if you want people to look up to you, there must be something that makes people look up to. They, on the battlefield, give us The Daqin army was terrified by the beating, and even their prime minister, Lord Mengchang, was frightened to death by our great king, and only fled back to Qi State by some incidents of robbery."

The term "chicken crowing and dog stealing" is well known to modern people, and the reason is because of Meng Changjun Tianwen.During the time of King Qin Zhao, the exchange of prime ministers was popular among the princes, that is, the prime minister of one country went to be the prime minister of another country and exchanged with each other.King Qin Zhao heard that Meng Changjun was very talented and a great sage, so he wrote to King Qi to exchange prime ministers with Qi.If Qin is strong and Qi is weak, Qi will be afraid, so King Qi has no choice but to agree.Mr. Mengchang had to go to Qin State. He was afraid and wanted to escape, but he had no chance.He had no choice but to use a dog thief to sneak into the palace of Qin State, stole a beautiful robe from King Qin Zhao, and gave it to King Qin Zhao's concubine, so that he could have a chance to leave Qin State.When we arrived at Hangu Pass, the city gate was locked and we couldn't get out.One of his attendants squeezed his voice like a rooster.According to the laws of the state of Qin, the door opened when the cock crowed, and the gate of Hangu was opened because of this, so he fled back to the state of Qi.

Mr. Mengchang was filled with emotions after returning, saying that there are so many diners, and there are many gourmet eaters, but none of them can help him.In fact, his behavior only uses two words to describe "worry".This matter was widely circulated in Qin State, and became a source of jokes among the common people.

"What's so bad about it? It's a good thing to be able to get out of danger in times of crisis." Zhou Chong didn't agree with Pu Feng's words.

Pu Feng raised his head and said proudly: "Master Zhou, you have to know that if these lowly bastards were in our Great Qin Kingdom, they would have been imprisoned a long time ago. How can they be allowed to be at ease? The family is a mess, and they are treated as guests by the Prime Minister. The reason why the country of Shandong is weak is that their laws are not enforced, and the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. Our Great Qin State is different. , will be imprisoned."

Historians accused Qin State of "deep official law". In fact, Qin State's laws are quite complete, and everything "has a legal pattern". In our current words, it means "there are laws to follow, and violations must be punished". However, it is a pity for historians to blame it!

King Qin Huiwen broke the law when he was the crown prince. Zhou Chong knew that Shang Yang wanted his teacher to be punished on his behalf. He knew what Pu Feng said was not an exaggeration.

The law of the Qin State practiced sitting together and monitoring each other, so it reached the level of "the road follows the eyes", and the historical records are very clear.Pu Feng shook his head and said: "It's fine all day long, just kowtow and gossip, it's good to be locked up in a prison, so as not to gossip. As long as we talk about business, we won't be afraid."

"If you want to live a good life, you have to rely on your own hands to earn money, not rely on your mouth to say it out. If you don't want to farm the land, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I don't have that life, so let's farm the land well." The helper is in favor of Pu Feng statement.

Zhou Chong recalled the record in the history books that "the laws of the Shang monarch are pleasing to the people of Qin and the people", and he had to lament that the history books misunderstood people.If he hadn't heard this with his own ears, he really wouldn't have believed that the common people of the Qin State were so fond of accusing the harsh laws of later generations. (Note: Shang Yang's method has advantages and disadvantages, it just depends on which aspect you look at the problem from. My friends don't have to take it seriously.)
Pu Feng's words were far from Zhou Chong's imagination, Zhou Chong's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to have a good chat with them, Zeng Yao walked in and said: "Brother Zhou, you are here, my father Please go over there, I have something to discuss with you." To Pu Feng and the others, he said: "Masters, please be busy and be careful."

Zhou Chong added: "Take a break and drink some water when you're tired." He followed Zeng Yao out and asked, "Brother Zeng, what does Uncle want from me?"

"The county magistrate is here." Zeng Yao replied, "I'm looking for you."

Zhou Chong's heart skipped a beat, thinking that if an official finds him, it must be a good thing. Couldn't it be that he, a transhuman, happened?After thinking about it, no one knows about this except myself, so what does a dignified county magistrate ask him to do?
