When he heard the name "Heifu", Xiang Zhuang stopped eating candy and pricked up his ears.
In the Battle of Qinan two years ago, the Chu people either said that Xiang Yan died in the battle, or that he escaped in hiding, but the Xiang family knew very well: Xiang Yan committed suicide after the defeat, and asked his tribesman Xiang Sheng to escape with his head.
Battlefield, bring back the next photo...
Although Xiang Yan's head was secretly buried by the Xiang family, his body was left on the battlefield and was humiliated by the Qin people and killed into countless pieces. However, his ability to capture the flag, which was comparable to that of beheading a general, was achieved by a man named Hei
Husband's unknown person obtained.
Unexpectedly, he would make a fortune out of this, and now he has reached the high position of right concubine!
Strictly speaking, this person was also one of the enemies of the Xiang family. When he learned that the candy was actually made by the thief, Xiang Zhuang felt a terrible stench, as if he had eaten something dirty, so he tilted his head and secretly spit it out.
However, Xiang Liang's expression only changed slightly and immediately returned to normal, chatting and laughing with Mrs. Wei as before.
After the battle of Qinan, after burying his father's head, he said to his family members who were clamoring to fight to the death with the Qin people: "When Gou Jian was trapped in Kuaiji, if he had a moment of courage and gathered five thousand men to fight against Wu, I am afraid that the enemy would be defeated."
The country perished at that time. Now that Qin is strong and Chu will be destroyed, the situation is over. Don't force it. We should follow Fan Li Wenzhong's policy and gather lessons for ten years to wait for revenge someday!"
When his family was forced to move to Guanzhong, he also comforted his brothers in this way: "Tang went to Xiatai, King Wen imprisoned Youli, Jin Chong'er ran to Zhai, Qi Xiaobai ran to Ju, Gou Jian went to Gusu, and his death was king. So.
Looking at it, why is it not a blessing?"
Their Xiang family is not King Huai of Chu!
Xiang Liang, who has decided to endure hardships, can pretend to be an obedient citizen even if his real enemies, Qin Shihuang and Wang Jian, are standing in front of him. How can he be angry with the black husband?
Mrs. Wei also wanted to test whether Mr. Xiang had different intentions. She just deliberately mentioned the black man who had captured Xiang Yan's flag. She looked at Xiang Liang's face and saw that everything was normal, so she felt relieved.
Now that she had accepted Xiang Liang's gold, she also talked about what Xiang was most concerned about.
"I have asked people to inquire clearly. The decree from the Yushi Mansion has come out. Cao Jiu, the warden of Yunyang County, will be transferred to Xiaxiang County, Sishui County as a jailer."
The jailer is in charge of litigation and prisons, and is the county chief official whose authority is second only to the chief official. If he is a ruthless person, life will be difficult for the clan members who stay in the lower prime minister.
Mrs. Wei said: "Cao Jiu is an easy-to-talk person. He also has a background in the court. The newly promoted censor Cheng Miao was favored by him when he was in Yunyang Prison and made good friends. He may be useful in the future."
Xiang Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of officials going to Shandong this year to take up their posts."
Mrs. Wei took a sip of the hot soup and said, "The Central Government frequently dispatches new officials to various counties and counties in Shandong, just to fulfill His Majesty's national policy."
This is another major move made by the imperial court after collecting all the troops from the world and defending the pass at the Kuan River last year.
When the Qin officials in black came out of Hangu Pass, their carriages were all pulling standard weights and measures. Once they took office, they immediately began to promote carriages on the same track, books in the same text, coins in the same shape, coins in the same shape, measures in the same ruler, and rights in the same
Balance, practice the same principles, work according to the same standards, abolish the old system of the six countries, and align everything with Xianyang.
These measures have dealt a big blow to the Xiang family and other local tycoons. Unlike the loose laws of the Six Kingdoms, the Qin laws are strict. The Xiang family has to be restrained a lot. Private soldiers cannot be raised. Land, ministers, and numbers are just a matter of quantity.
will also be restricted.
Minting is an important source of income for the Xiang family. Once the coins are of the same shape and shape and private minting is not allowed, a large amount of income will be lost every year. The same scale and the same weight also mean that they can no longer use private utensils to measure things.
The favor trick of "lend the big cauldron and take back the small cauldron".
They are proud nobles. Each family has a history of hundreds of years, and there are classics in the collection that have been passed down from family to family. Once the script is the same as the Qin seal script, the Six Kingdoms script can only be taught secretly to their children.
These systems will bring a lot of inconvenience to the Xiang family and the nobles of Shandong. Xiang Liang can only lament that it would be great if Qin established a state under Yan, Qi, and Chu.
He heard that all the sons of Qin Shihuang were young, and the young princes and princes would definitely rely on local forces and rule according to customs. Unlike the Qin officials appointed in Xianyang, who were only responsible to the emperor and yelled at local leaders to kill them.
They were so overwhelmed that they regarded Qin's law as an iron law and forcibly corrected the customs and habits of the people of the six countries...
But these are things that one dares not to say out loud, so he can only accept it hard. In the past two years, Xiang Liang has learned to read Qin seal characters. He knows that under the absolute power, if the Qing clan does not make changes, they will
There is only one way to perish!
Mrs. Wei comforted him and said: "These national policies are jointly supervised by the Prime Minister's Office, the Yushi Office, and the Young Master's Office, but the implementation deadlines are different. The laws and regulations have been implemented in counties and counties, and the weights and measures and track gauges will be implemented within this year (the 27th year of Qin Shihuang)
Replace everything, and the book can be replaced with the same text."
She told this interesting story: "After Heifu made bark paper last month, His Majesty was very happy. He built a paper workshop in Guanzhong Guang, made paper and sent it to Shandong. He asked all counties and counties to try out hemp paper while writing the same text.
, leather paper, and slips. But silk books are not allowed to be used again. Anyone who violates this will be fined a piece of silk!"
Xiang Liang can imagine that the Chu people will complain, because the Chu nobles love to use silk to write and paint, either as decoration or to bring to tombs. It has become a tradition. His family has many silk books written in "
The people of Chu would not be happy if "Zong Heng Family Letters", "Laozi" and "The Way of Tang and Yu" were suddenly abolished.
Fortunately, in this matter, considering that the scholars of the Six Kingdoms could not learn the character Qin overnight, Heifu made a suggestion to the emperor.
"The script of the Six Kingdoms has been abnormal for a long time, and it may be inconvenient to abolish it suddenly. It is better to give it a five-year period, so that the script of the Six Kingdoms and silk scripts will gradually become obsolete and replaced by Qin seal script and paper!"
He also said: "Qin has its own system. The prefectures and counties make up plans and books, send officials to report to each level, report to the court, borrow funds and evaluate performance, which is called the superior plan. But your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, made hemp paper, and wrote books with the same text to plan a long-term plan for the world.
Li. This five-year policy of eliminating desertification might as well be called a five-year plan!"
Unfortunately, Qin Shihuang was in a hurry and felt that five years was too long, so he changed it to three years. So he issued a "three-year plan" to produce three million pieces of paper within three years, completely replacing silk books, and gradually phasing out bamboo slips!
Being able to persuade the emperor to slightly change his national policy is an incredible achievement. Heifu, the right concubine, has become an upstart whom the emperor trusts recently. People who care about the affairs of the court compare Li Xin, who was the most favored at that time, with him...
At this point, Mrs. Wei has told Xiang Liang all the news about what a pound of gold can buy.
Before Xiang Liang took Xiang Zhuang to leave, Mrs. Wei seemed to have remembered something again, and said to Xiang Liang in a show-off manner:
"But I forgot one thing. Your concubine, Hei Fu, is about to get married in the twelfth lunar month. He made these invitations to invite guests. My uncle (Kui Zhuang) was also invited, but he is old, so I asked my uncle and I to
Sister-in-law is going to..."
She was very happy to flatter this upstart's stinky feet, but she was reluctant to spend more money. A pair of phoenix eyes kept hinting at Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang understood, and he cupped his hands knowingly and said: "People often think that the chief of the right concubine once seized the flag of his late father, and the Xiang family hated him. But in fact, we are just the head of Jingchu and Guizhou. How dare we have any grudges after our country is subjugated? Now you are
The concubine is about to get married, and Liang has a humble status and dare not get involved in the banquet. I hope that my wife can congratulate me on behalf of the Xiang family as a sign of respect. The gifts will be prepared tomorrow and delivered to my wife's residence!"
…
In the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor of Qin, on the first day of the first lunar month (the first day of October), Chen Ping, who was working as a temporary worker in the township temple and as a food official in Hufu Township, Yangwu County, Dang County, also received the envy of his colleagues from the postal service.
I received a red paper invitation from Xianyang in my hand...
