As far as Heifu knows, after Shang Yang's reform, the Qin State was divided into twenty ranks of nobles, from the lowest rank, Gongshi, to Zao, to the highest rank, Guanneihou and Chehou.
According to the laws of Qin, if you get a title, you can get fields, houses, and servants and slaves to work for you. Every time you advance to a level, the benefits will increase. You can transform from a poor man with no land to a small landowner, a big landowner, or even an owner.
The prince of his own fiefdom!
The higher the title, the higher the position.
Heifu guessed that in history, the reason why the Heifu brothers died in battle was because they served as soldiers who charged into the battle.
But if he already had a title when he was recruited, as an officer, having his own subordinates is equivalent to holding his own life in his hands. As long as he is careful, he will definitely have a chance to survive!
I want to think about it, but right now, Hei Fu is only a level 0 soldier, not to mention a doctor or an official. Even a level 1 Duke is not easy to earn.
In the Qin State, if you want to get a title, there are probably the following ways. The fastest way is to behead people on the battlefield and perform meritorious service!
Qin law stipulates: "The person who beheads one head will be ranked first." The title of "Gongshi" that the eldest brother inherited was obtained by his father who killed several times on the battlefield and finally cut off a head in exchange for it.
He suffered injuries all over his body and died a few years after returning...
In addition, a title can also be obtained by diligently farming, reporting traitors, catching thieves, and accumulating achievements as a small official. The problem is that farming will not yield results for three to five years. Reporting traitors and catching thieves are rare. As for doing
Little official...
Now Hei Fu is just a young man who has just grown up and has no achievements. Who will appoint him as an official? The reason why Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was able to become the chief of the pavilion of the Qin Dynasty was because he had left behind as a ranger in the countryside in his early years.
The fledgling black husband has none of these reputations.
There are so many thoughts, like the violent rain outside, crackling on the tiles, and the guest house is like a lonely boat floating in the stormy waves of Yunmeng Ze.
Heifu felt that he was also a small boat in this era of great changes, being swept up in the current. Even though he knew the general trend of "The King of Qin swept Liuhe, He Xiongzai was looking at him", but due to his background, he couldn't find a way to join in...
…
In this way, after a sleepy night, Heifu got up early the next morning. When he opened the door, he saw that the rain outside had stopped. The "doctor"'s carriage was still parked in the yard, stained with stains.
The red and black paint is so beautiful. The two horses, one white and one black, have been put on the reins and are ready to go at any time. Unfortunately, he has to walk all the way to the county town, fearing that his feet will be covered in blisters.
After wiping his face with the water dripping from the eaves, Heifu left the guest house. There was someone waiting for him at the door. It was Ji Ying who talked about "Jing Ke's Assassination of Qin" last night. Coincidentally, he said that he
He is a soldier from Jinshui Township and is going to serve in the county.
Without waiting for Hei Fu to say anything, Ji Ying enthusiastically wanted to join him: "We still have half a day to go to the county, so why not go together and take care of him."
Hei Fu was right when he thought about it. The two of them served together, which was considered a blessing. For the next month, they would have to get along day and night, so he and Ji Ying went together.
The terrain of Anlu County is low in the south and high in the north. In the south is Yunmengze, which is flat and fertile, so it is called "Yunmeng Township"; in the middle, there is Jingshui River flowing through it, and it merges into Yunmengze, and there are river valleys and plains, which is called "Jinshui Township".
; To the north are hills and hills, with layers of mist emerging, and where the county seat is located. Hei Fu and his wife slowly walked north along the road beside Yunmeng Ze.
After a night of heavy rain, Yunmeng Daze returned to calm. Fish jumped out of the water and egrets paced slowly on the shallows. Ji Ying is a local soldier and is very familiar with this area. In addition, he is a talkative person.
He introduced the local customs and scenery to Heifu all the way.
"Hei Fu, do you know that this Anlu County, and even the entire Nan County, was still the land of the Chu Kingdom more than fifty years ago."
"Nature knows."
Heifu nodded. Nanjun was Hubei Province in later generations, and was also the hinterland of Chu State. Jiangling, where it was governed, was Yingcheng, the capital of Chu. Decades ago, Qin State general Bai Qi attacked Chu, and ten people were drowned in the Battle of Yanying.
There were tens of thousands of Chu people, and the Chu army was scattered. King Qingxiang of Chu abandoned the capital and fled to the east. Only then did Qu Yuan throw himself into the river in grief and anger. Counting it all together, three generations ago, Hei Fu's ancestor was also a Chu person, and Chu Yin is still heard today.
Not changed.
"Then you should know that this Yunmengze area is the hunting park of the King of Chu. My grandfather once told me about the grand hunting scene of the King of Chu in those days. It is said that thousands of horses were tied together, and the flags covered the sky. Tigers were being chased.
You have to run all over the place, and if you just raise your hand and pick up a bow, you can shoot a moose to death..."
After finishing speaking, Ji Ying licked his lips again, and as the conversation continued, Heifu almost understood the temperament of this person of his age. He was talkative, clever, and a bit greedy, so he laughed at him and said, "Do you want to eat meat again?"
"Who wouldn't?"
Ji Ying asked back, but patted his thin belly and sighed: "Unfortunately, Yunmengze has dried up a lot recently, and all kinds of wild animals have migrated to other places. Even Xiaoze, which is close to the road and can be used for fishing, is now
No one dares to go."
Heifu asked curiously: "Why is this?"
"Because recently many dead people have fled south and escaped into the lake to become thieves! I heard that many merchants and fishermen passing by here were robbed of their property and lost their lives! The county has repeatedly ordered nearby pavilions to be hunted down, but they always
Let the thief escape. That's why I asked you to go together."
"The dead are robbers?" Hei Fu couldn't help but look into the distance. The water here is continuous and the shrubs are growing there. It is indeed a good place for the fallen grass to turn into bandits and rob homes.
Nanjun is intertwined with the Jiangnan area of the Chu State. It is densely covered with mountains and forests, and crisscrossed by rivers and lakes. Whether it is the dead people of the Qin State who avoided military service or the refugees from the Chu State, they all like to run to Yunmeng Ze.
In an official document "Yu Shu" in April this year, even Nanjun's prefect Teng reluctantly admitted that Nanjun was the area with the most promiscuous customs and the worst public security among the counties in the Qin State. Anlu County was even the hardest hit area.
, there are many thieves in groups on the shore, and the people in this area dare not go out alone.
Heifu was not afraid. He spent three years in the police academy in vain. He still learned some fighting skills. He could easily deal with one or two bandits. He patted the dagger on his waist and said with a smile: "If those thieves don't
If you have long eyes and it harms you and me, that means the other generation picked the wrong person!"
"What a strong man!" Ji Ying laughed loudly. He was also very happy, patting his chest and boasting: "Actually, I also have some martial arts skills. In Jianshui Township, who knows Ji Ying's name in the river mouth..."
Hei Fu looked at his thin monkey-like body and smiled without saying a word.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, at the end of the path covered by bushes in front of him, countless mallard ducks were frightened and flew away. Then, they shouted for help at the top of their lungs: "There is a thief! Help! Help!"
"Thieves?" Ji Ying, who had been so arrogant just now, immediately fell to the ground with excitement.
Heifu stood up straight and squinted to observe what was happening over there. In the distance, he saw a person crawling out of the bushes and running towards the road. After a while, he ran out again from the other side. Several men in ragged clothes and armed with ferocious expressions chased after him.
The direction in which they were running and chasing was exactly where Heifu and Ji Ying were!
"one two three four……"
Ji Ying briefly calculated the number of people and retreated in his heart: "There are four thieves, and they are holding sharp knives. I'm afraid we can't deal with them. Hei Fu, you and I should stay away..."
No one answered. When Ji Ying turned around, he was surprised to find that Heifu had already stood up and strode out!
"What are you doing!"
Ji Ying was shocked. He wanted to run away by himself, but then he remembered something. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and followed him out. While chasing him, he cursed: "Hei Fu, you don't want your life!"
Heifu turned around and found that Ji Ying had followed him. He couldn't help but glance at him and said with a smile: "The land here is vast and flat. We can't hide or run far. Why don't we help that person? Three Against four, you don’t necessarily lose. Besides, if you don’t save your life, and the government finds out about it afterwards, you and I will both be punished.”
In his previous life, he was a man with very upright views. Friends said he had a chivalrous spirit. After entering the police academy, he gained a greater sense of responsibility.
Now that he is a second-generation human being, facing thieves who block the road, rob and kill people, Hei Fu still chooses without hesitation to yell at the injustice and take action when it is time to take action!
Besides, eldest brother Zhong once mentioned that in Qin, if you don't save someone you will be punished, but if you can catch a thief, you will be rewarded!
The opportunity you have been looking for for so long is right in front of you, why are you still hesitating?
He strode forward, pulled out the dagger from his waist, held it in his right hand like a fighting dagger, and let out the first long roar after coming to this era!
