Qin Luoheng, Lang and Fen went to the dining room.
Although their titles were not high, the dining hall still reserved seats for them, and the three of them were accustomed to sitting on the exclusive table for three people.
While waiting for the hot soup, the three of them chatted.
Lang said excitedly:
"Some civil servants came to my house yesterday."
"We have notified the government about the land allocated to us, but it is not in Xianyang. It is in Fushi County, Shangjun, where we were born. We should be notified there in the next two days."
"My father specially wrote a letter to my father Zhong, asking him to help rent a few servants in the county and help me take care of the fields."
"what about you?"
Fen said:
"Mine is down too."
"It's also in my hometown, Yong County."
"My father Ji lives there now, and my fields are directly taken care of by his father. I basically don't have to worry about it myself."
"Where's Brother Qin?"
"Where was your land assigned?"
"We've known each other for so long, but we still don't know where you live?"
Lang also looked over curiously.
Qin Luoheng looked hesitant.
The situation of living in Lishan is really not suitable for outsiders to talk about.
But keeping silent is not the answer.
Now that he has integrated into Qin Dynasty society, he will get to know more and more people in the future. He has been avoiding talking about his residence, which will make people suspicious and angry.
After thinking for a while, Qin Luoheng said:
"If I don't say it, I really don't know how to say it."
"My situation is different from yours. I was not from Qin before. I am a deceased person."
Hear the words.
Lang Hefen's eyes widened with disbelief.
Immediately, the two of them realized that their behavior was a bit big, and they quickly calmed down, but they still couldn't hide their shock.
Fen lowered his voice and said:
"Brother Qin, are you sure you're not lying?"
"Are you a dead person?"
"Can the dead enter the school?"
Qin Luoheng nodded and said:
"I was indeed a dead person before."
"But by chance, I obtained the household registration and was granted the privilege to study in a school."
"But I didn't move out of my old place."
"You are all 'registering households for the common people', but I am not. When I am a deceased person, I have to be vigilant at all times and cannot be found by the government, so my residence is very remote, even if I tell you my address.
, you may not be able to find it either.”
"I'm registered now."
"But it was not included in the 'Registered Households and Qi Min', it was just confirmed as a Qin citizen. In fact, it is still a dead person in the government. This is why your reward is easy to get, but mine has to wait a little longer.
"
"I can't even pronounce it."
"My household registration is near Lishan Mountain. It is actually a little difficult for the government to find my residence. In addition, it is a forbidden garden there, so it is difficult to distribute many rewards."
Lang and Fen looked at each other.
When they first met Qin Luoheng, Qin Luoheng did say that he lived over there in Lishan, but they thought he lived in Liyi. It turned out that was not the case at all. Qin Luoheng lived alone there and had nothing to do with Liyi.
any association.
Think of this.
They have figured out many things.
Lang then patted Fen and said quite proudly:
"As I said before, Brother Qin is different from us."
"We are exhausted from class all day long and can't learn anything. Brother Qin is different. He takes classes easily and is even more knowledgeable than those two Confucian students."
"I said at that time that Brother Qin had an extraordinary background."
"At least I've learned it."
"look."
"I said that right."
"Brother Qin is at least from a noble family, otherwise we would have to hide in Tibet? And can ordinary people learn so many things? Know so many things?"
Fen rolled his eyes at Lang, but did not refute.
Qin Luoheng didn't say anything either.
Based on the scene when he first remembered it, he might actually have been born into a noble family, but those were memories of his predecessor and had nothing to do with him.
Qin Luoheng said:
"I am not of noble birth."
"But I did meet a few noble people."
"It is true that I have studied with Master for several years, and I have learned a lot of words and knowledge. But the past has passed. I am now a native of Qin."
Fen and Lang nodded.
Due to the military merit system, the Qin people were able to achieve a class jump from the bottom of society, so they did not think that the nobility had anything.
Qin Luoheng hesitated for a moment.
Continued:
"I actually want to move."
"It's really inconvenient to live there all the time."
"Especially since my studies have become heavier recently, and it takes too long to travel. Besides, I won a few taels of gold earlier, so I also want to move to the city."
Fen immediately became interested.
He said happily:
"I can help."
"Where do you plan to live and what type of house do you like?"
"I can ask my father to help you find it."
"The whole city is fine."
Qin Luoheng said:
"Let's go somewhere a little quieter."
"Sometimes the city is too noisy. I'm used to being alone."
Lang Ye echoed:
"Brother Qin is right."
"I wasn't used to it when I moved here before."
"There are too many people in Xianyang. The streets are one after another. The Guoshi area is open day and night. I don't recommend living there anyway."
Fen thought for a while.
said:
"That can only be from other cities."
"There are actually quite a lot of people over there in Guoshi."
"I'll ask my father to help you inquire. It shouldn't be a big problem, but it may be in another city. As you know in other cities, the price will be a little more expensive."
"But the house is absolutely fine."
Qin Luoheng nodded.
He actually has no requirements for the house.
Ancient times are different from modern times. In ancient times, most people rented houses, and so did officials. However, officials were slightly better off. Some of their residences were allocated by the government. Once the official's term of office ended, the government would take back the residence regularly.
Of course, if officials have money, they can also purchase it themselves.
but.
House prices were not low in ancient times.
Ordinary officials may not necessarily be able to afford it.
Moreover, the ancients believed that fallen leaves should return to their roots and return to their hometown with honor. Many officials would choose to return to their hometown when they got old. Therefore, renting a house was actually the mainstream in the city throughout the dynasties.
Immediately afterwards.
Lang Hefen asked if they would like help moving things after finding a house.
Qin Luoheng declined.
soon.
The host then served hot soup.
The three of them had lunch with chili sauce.
...
Nothing happened for a few days.
Four days passed in a blink of an eye.
It was time for Qin Luoheng to get the iron pot.
His house has been rented.
I rented a house next to the street along the Weishui River.
The area is not very large.
Just an ordinary Qin people's house.
The advantage is that it is near the river, relatively quiet and simple.
In the past few days, he has begun to move things into this house.
but.
Today he is going to get the pot.
Think of this.
Qin Luoheng was also a little excited.
He has been coveting this iron pot for a long time.
With the iron pot, his daily diet can be greatly improved. In the past, he felt that he was a little unable to use the earthen pots and earthen cauldrons.
Go to Guoshi's workshop.
Qin Luoheng explained his purpose of coming to the clerk outside.
The clerk checked the transmission.
After confirming that there was no problem, he asked Qin Luoheng to wait outside while he went in to deliver the message.
soon.
An engineer came out.
He looked Qin Luoheng up and down.
asked:
"Are you Qin Luoheng?"
When Qin Luoheng saw this person, a strange look appeared in his eyes. The person in front of him was not the one who was bossing around on the bridge, so he said curiously:
"This boy is Qin Luoheng."
"May I ask the superior, where is the superior named Zheng?"
"I remember that it was the superior who informed me four days ago."
The engineer chuckled.
sneered:
"You mean Zheng Sheng?"
"He was deposed from office a few days ago."
"It seems that I was accused of stealing someone else's jade."
"Originally, he was fined to be a city dandy for ten years. Later, he used his title to pay for it a lot. In addition, his brother Zheng Xuan used money to help him pay for some time, but he was still fined for almost five or six years."
Qin Luoheng was stunned for a moment.
He also suddenly remembered.
That day he and Bo Shu saw a piece of jade on the bridge, but they thought there was something wrong with it and did not pick it up. They never thought that Zheng Sheng would pick it up and they would be sued.
He also shook his head.
but.
Is this engineer Zheng Xuan’s younger brother?
Think of this.
Qin Luoheng's eyes darkened slightly.
If he guessed correctly, Zheng Sheng was deliberately irritating himself that day and wanted to set a trap for himself, but he was not fooled. Moreover, Zheng Sheng had calculated everything, but he failed to calculate that in the end, he would be tricked by others.
Calculate.
He was told this.
He immediately announced that his plan was bankrupt.
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
The engineer took out the iron pot.
Qin Luoheng took the iron pot and did not dare to relax. He checked it carefully and made sure there were no loopholes before leaving with satisfaction.
Wait for Qin Luoheng to go far.
The engineer did not return to the workshop.
He just stood there and looked at Qin Luoheng.
a long time.
Then he frowned and said:
"Is this the tenth son that Yushi Hua said?"
"Resurrection from the dead?"
"But I didn't find anything unique about it."
"If it weren't for him, how could our Sima family have fallen to where we are now?"
"My brother Sima Xin is well versed in military science, but he is only a school captain. I, Sima Chang, have worked hard for half my life and am only an iron officer. I, Sima, have been serving the Qin Dynasty for generations. My ancestor Sima Cuo and my eldest father Sima Jin have also served for me.
Qin Li made great military exploits, but the favor of our Sima family was cut off for three generations."
"How ridiculous this is!"
"Tenth Young Master?"
"Since you are alive, why can't you escape and why do you want to harm me, the Sima clan? How could I, the Sima clan, ever be sorry for you? I am sorry for Da Qin?"
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
"I, Mr. Sima, will never help you again in the future. I, Mr. Sima, only live for myself and my family."
“It’s up to people to plan things!!!”
Finished.
Sima Chang entered the workshop with a puff of sleeves.
Qin Luoheng didn't notice this at all. He was carrying the iron pot home.
New home.
Lang Hefen is helping him clean.
Of course, the two of them are not cleaning for free, they are here to make a living.
Qin Luoheng boasted that the iron pot cooking was so impressive that they were hesitant to believe it. However, Qin Luoheng had already gone to get the iron pot. If they waited a little longer, they would be able to taste the iron pot cooking.
They are also eager to try.
Not long after.
Qin Luoheng carried the iron pot back.
Lang Hefen quickly took the iron pot and carefully placed it on the earthen stove.
Not for a while.
There were wisps of smoke rising from the earthen stove.

Sima Chang was an iron official in history, and he was the fourth generation ancestor of Sima Qian.
