(Ahem, I was busy typing and forgot to update, ⊙﹏⊙b sweat)
Qin is a country based on nobility. In order for people to know their status at a glance, each title has a unique mark.
Shiwu is also called Guizhou head, and as it sounds, it is a black coarse cloth wrapped in a bun.
The title of Duke is the lowest rank, and the brown scarf on the bun is its symbol.
Of course, there is no ceremony for conferring a title to a mere sergeant. It is just a change of cloth on the head. It cannot be treated differently, because there are many sergeants with brown cloth on their heads on the street. At most, it can be exchanged for Ji Ying and others.
Shiwu looked enviously.
Heifu originally wanted to go back to thank Xi, but without Xi's suggestion, perhaps he, who was illiterate in the laws of the Qin State, just walked away with the reward in a daze.
But Xi had already gone home, but his subordinates happily congratulated Heifu and chatted with them for a few words.
Le told Heifu that the county would immediately issue a document asking his hometown to change his identity record. The county also changed Heifu's identity record. Now on the newly issued ID card, he has
He is a "gongshiheifu".
At the same time, the government will grant him the treatment of an official with a hectare of land and a house, that is, a hundred acres of land and a 30-square-foot homestead, on which Heifu can build his own house. However, the procedures for these things are more complicated, and there is no
It can't be done in ten days and a half.
"When you return to the village after completing your duty, you will be able to see your own fields and house. Perhaps the government will assign a servant to help you plow the fields."
After Le explained all this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Only Xijun would insist on reviewing the case on the first day of the new year and not let us take a rest. Let's not talk about it anymore. I have to go home quickly, otherwise my father will have to do it."
You scolded me."
With that, he left in a hurry, but before leaving, he hesitated again and again, patted Heifu on the shoulder, suppressed his smile and said: "When you get to the watchman, be careful..."
Heifu couldn't understand his words for a while.
After leaving the county jail, Heifu stood at the gate, closed his eyes, and felt the sunshine. This is the taste of freedom.
Looking back at the strict order inside the county jail, and then at the bustling crowds of people coming and going on the street, it feels like a world away.
When he stepped here, he was still a young soldier who didn't know his future. Now, he has taken the first step in this era and obtained the title he dreamed of.
But he is not satisfied with this. A mere official is still not enough!
The reason why Hei Fu thinks this way is because during today's prison interrogation, just because the Huyang Pavilion Chief had a title of Shangzao or above, he was exempted from guarding the border and was replaced with ghost pay. This gave him inspiration.
Through this lawsuit, Heifu realized that Qin's laws were so strict. Living in Qin, he might accidentally hit a red line and break the law one day.
If you are a commoner or a public servant, you will be punished accordingly. But if you have a title of nobility or above, you can use the title to offset the crime and reduce the guilt.
"For the sake of your own life, you should at least be promoted to the higher level first. That would be safer."
With this in mind, Heifu called Ji Ying and wanted to report to the school field at the south gate of the county with him - today was the day when they would serve in their new military service.
"Go there now?"
Ji Ying, however, looked unhappy and said: "Brother Heifu, although the service period cannot be extended, didn't the warder just say that we can postpone our service for one day? You and I have just received so much reward, how can we not go first?
Have a good meal and celebrate? Besides..."
He pointed to the bustling crowd on the street and said, "Today is the Chinese New Year!"
"New Year's Eve?"
Heifu looked confused and muttered: "Today is the first day of October, winter has just begun, what year is it?"
…
"Brother Heifu, you were eloquent and very shrewd in the county jail, but when you came out, you seemed to be possessed by a ghost, and you didn't even know when the New Year was celebrated?"
After a while, Ji Ying looked at Hei Fu up and down, as if he was looking at a person who had come back from a distant barbarian country. He had lived for seventeen or eighteen years and didn't even know when the New Year was celebrated. He must have lived such a confused life.
Or maybe he was possessed by an evil spirit and his soul was abducted by a ghost that specializes in deceiving people?
"I've been in there for a long time, and I made a slip of the tongue, and then I made a mistake..."
Heifu knew that he was making a joke, so he had to put it off, and at the same time cursed: "I am not a student of ancient calendars. At most I know some important historical events. How could I know that in Qin, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!"
It turns out that the Qin calendar is not only very different from the Gregorian calendar of later generations, but also different from the Xia calendar (lunar calendar). It is a unique "Zhuanxu calendar". The biggest feature of this calendar is that it is based on the month of Jianhai Mengdong, which is the tenth day of the lunar calendar.
The first day of the month is the beginning of the year, so this day is indeed the first day of the Lunar New Year...
Looking at the county jail again, the officials at all levels who come in and out of the county temple, including those with nobility, will smile and bow to each other when they see each other, and say: "Have a good day." Quan takes it as a New Year greeting.
When leaving the county jail, the jailer Le told them that considering that the two of them had been delayed in the county jail for a long time in order to cooperate with the trial, they were allowed to go to the place where they were serving their regular service one day later. In other words, they would use it tomorrow and return the money.
Each of them was given a bamboo slip with the cause and effect written on it, which should be used as proof...
So Heifu felt relieved and started walking around Anlu County on this "New Year's Day" with a little curiosity.
Anlu County is an ancient city. It is said that it was built three hundred years ago when Wu troops entered Ying during the Spring and Autumn Period and King Chu Zhao took refuge. I don’t know whether it is true or not. Anyway, during the hundreds of years of Chu rule, this was the Jianghan area.
An important transportation hub. This area continued to develop after it was occupied by the Qin State. Today, the city has a circumference of five or six miles, with 3,000 households and a population of nearly 20,000. It is a well-deserved large county.
The county can be roughly divided into east and west districts. The west city is adjacent to the Xishui River and has a small ferry. It is the location of Luli (residential area) and the market. The east city is adjacent to Quyang Lake. It is said that it used to be the palace of the King of Chu, but it has been renovated.
Chengguan Temple is where the county prison where Heifu and the others stayed for many days.
This afternoon, all officials, big and small, can take a rest, and the Guansi District is relatively deserted. After leaving Dongcheng and entering Lilu District, the New Year atmosphere becomes more intense.
I saw noble people living in the city walking on the road one after another, some wearing newly sewn winter clothes, or catching chickens and ducks, carrying dog legs, and fresh fish, which were equivalent to buying new year's goods.
In the scattered and alternating inner rooms in the distance, you can see someone replacing the peach charms for the inner door. It is a rectangular peach board with two gods "Shen Tu" and "Yulei" written on it. They are used to drive away ghosts. People in Qin State believe in this.
set.
"In China, no matter what dynasty or generation, celebrating the New Year is celebrating the New Year..."
Looking at these New Year scenes, Heifu felt a little lonely for some reason.
Yes, during the Chinese New Year, he should be reunited at home, but whether it was his home in his previous life or his home in Qin, he could not go back now.
Ji Ying on the side also stamped his feet angrily: "It's really unlucky that it's my turn to come out and update at this time of year! How did I offend Li Zheng?"
Then he asked Heifu: "Brother Heifu, does your family also have a grudge against the local people? That's why you were ordered to serve."
It turns out that in the Qin State, all adult men who meet the height and age must register their names and serve in counties for one month every year. As for who will serve in which month, it is decided by Li Zheng. Li Zheng will
All those of the right age are arranged in serial numbers, and everyone takes turns to serve in the order. This is called "priority for service." As for the order of serial numbers, it is generally based on the type and team of each family, but it does not rule out the possibility of artificial intervention to jump in the queue.
Ji Ying asked this, and Hei Fu remembered this: "My eldest brother is a local leader, and he seems to be having some troubles. My mother also complained a few times when I left home..."
PS: Please answer the question. In July of the first year of Qin II, Chen Sheng led 900 garrison soldiers to rise up in Daze Township. In December of the second year of Qin II, Chen Sheng defeated the city father and was killed by a traitor. The uprising failed. It can be seen from this that,
