Qin Shihuang tried to unify the world culturally and institutionally in the shortest possible time, but this was a more difficult task than military unification. Perhaps as Laozi said, governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies, cooked slowly and carefully.
The road ahead is long, and the chariot is speeding. The helmsman has no intention of slowing down, but the people on the car really want to slow down.
In addition to Heifu, the ministers, Prince Fusu, Advocate for Excellence, Mohists, Huang Lao, and even Confucianists all used different methods to remonstrate, but to no avail. It was impossible to want the emperor to brake and slow down.
Heifu knew that although the road was bumpy, there was no danger of car crashes or fatalities. The abyss that plunged all living beings into misery would still be ten years later.
All conflicts are buried today, and there will be another big explosion after Zulong's death.
"There is still time..." After asking his servants to take Chen Ping to the guest room to rest, Hei Fu stood on the corridor with his hands folded, looking at the wind and snow outside and thought.
He, who rose up against the tide of the times, has already gone too far within the system. He is no longer just a pedestrian watching the excitement on the side of the road, nor can he sit back and watch the 30 million souls attached to this car go through fire without being affected. So, before that, give it a try.
Can we use things from later generations to reinforce the carriage so that it can adapt to this speed, or can we rush to the abyss and rein in the horse...
"Ten years, before that, can I touch the six bridle reins that are firmly in His Majesty's hands and cannot be interfered with by others?"
Do your best, if you can't change your fate...
Make other plans!
That is a matter of the future. The current black husband is just a "new rich" who seems to be not far from the center of power, but is actually out of reach.
He still had to plan his wedding, entertain guests, and prepare a welcoming team.
…
Among the guests invited by Hei Fu, Chen Ping was the first to arrive, while his family and the old Nanjun troops arrived in Xianyang the next day...
The only family members of Heifu's family are his cousin Yan, who sells brown sugar, his younger brother Jing and his nephew Yang. His mother is old and fell ill after autumn. In addition, the wedding was held in the twelfth lunar month, and the road was full of wind and snow.
It's so far away that it may be difficult to make the trip.
Even though Heifu asked the Mohists and craftsmen to help design a four-wheeled carriage and sent one to Anlu, no matter how smooth the carriage was, it would be useless if the road was not good. At this time, Heifu was looking forward to the "Chidao" that the emperor ordered to build next year.
"Let's finish it as soon as possible. In today's Wuguan, the Nanjun Road is narrow and muddy. If the old man goes to Xianyang, half of his life will be lost. He can only regretfully stay at home and take care of him sincerely with his uncle and sister-in-law.
"My mother was very sad."
Jing came up first to pay homage to her brother and sighed: "Before I left home, she walked me to the door and kept holding my hand, nagging that I was sorry for Brother Zhong, but she was a little lucky..."
"What are you glad for?" Heifu was very surprised.
Jing approached Hei Fu and said in a low voice: "My mother feels that for eight generations my ancestors were all common people in Guizhou, living in a small family with no family connections, no etiquette, and not even a family name. But now they are different from the official family history.
The Nanyang family is getting married. She is afraid that when she comes to Xianyang, she will do something wrong or say the wrong thing, causing Brother Zhong to lose face..."
"How could mother think so?"
Hei Fu was speechless. Not only his mother, but also looked a little embarrassed after arriving in the imperial capital. He could not hide his inferiority complex in his movements.
Indeed, in Jing Jing's opinion, his family could at best be on par with the rich and powerful in the county, but to marry into the Ye family, a powerful man with two thousand stones and a wealthy family in Nanyang, it was really a bit futile. Hei Fu was promoted too quickly and climbed too high, and his family and
If you can't keep up with his rhythm, you always feel like you're feeling cold at high places.
This kind of mentality is not okay.
Heifu then straightened his face and lectured his younger brother: "My right concubine's title did not fall from the sky. It was gained by fighting with swords, making suggestions and making contributions to the country. Your Majesty thinks I can bear it."
, who dares to say that it is not true at all? As for this marriage, it was the old general Wang Jian who acted as matchmaker for me, and the internal history officer happily agreed, willing to devote himself to me as his only daughter!"
In fact, most of Neishiteng's clan members and their second wives were opposed to it, but after thinking about it for a long time, Neishiteng said: "When choosing a son-in-law for your daughter, should you choose a family, a family, money, or talents?"
Most people think more about the first two items, but Nei Shiteng believes that family background is determined before birth and has nothing to do with personal efforts. Money is an external thing, and it is insignificant whether it is gained or lost.
Only talent is a person's unique trait and the thing he values most!
"Hei Fu is the most talented young man I have seen in the seven or eight years I have been the county guard in Nan County. I knew at that time that he was by no means a mediocre person. Sure enough, now that he is in the court, he has repeatedly made brilliant suggestions, and his majesty also praised him.
Plus, at a young age, you can become the elder of the right concubine and have a prominent position. With time, why worry about the failure of your family and the lack of money?"
So, after asking for his daughter's opinion and seeing that she had no objection, Nestern agreed to the marriage. However, the old fox was also a thief and deliberately spread what he said, making the black husband thank him.
"My brother, do you know what is a review?"
Of course Jing knew that the merit review of the Qin officials was based on the merits of the Qin officials. It was to "record the merits of beheading on a one-foot board and write down the counties and counties in the ruler's book." Then rewards were given according to merit. Every Qin Dynasty civil servant, including
Surprising, there is such a review.
Those whose title rises to the level of Zuo Shu Zhang or above can carve the valve seal seal on wooden pillars that look like a Chinese watch and set them up on both sides of the home to show their family status. The pillar on the left is "valve" and the right pillar is "yue".
This is the "family valve", later referred to as "family valve".
In the Qin Dynasty, "family" was the name for the military aristocrats of Guanxi. The Shiqing aristocrats of Guandong had no great achievements in Qin. It doesn't matter whether you have been passed down for dozens of generations or hundreds of years, or whether you are a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang's Miao or an ancient wise king.
Future generations should not consider themselves to be members of the family.
This is also what Heifu likes most about the Qin system.
Heifu let Jingjing follow him to the front door of the mansion. There were also two pillars on the left and one on the right. Because they had just been built, they were covered with cloth.
He pulled off the cloth with his own hands, only to find that it was covered with seal characters and painted with pen and ink, which was particularly eye-catching!
The clan building established in front of Heifu's residence has a short history of only six or seven years, but it is very prominent. Not to mention the small things of being a director and catching thieves, from the Dongyang breakout in the 24th year of Qin Shihuang's 24th year to the second attack on Chu
From capturing Xiang Yan's military flag, to expanding the empire's land in the south of the Yangtze River and building Nanchang City, and finally to the recent creation of "Heifu Paper", all the achievements are clearly written!
Anyone who questions will be speechless in the face of these comments.
It is true that I am a nouveau riche, but every step I take, I sit upright and stand up to scrutiny! This is not what Wei Choufu, a minister who was lucky enough to get into, can compare with.
Of course, Heif specifically asked the craftsmen not to give up on winning awards for building public toilets. According to him, the small credit is not worth mentioning...
At this moment, Heifu pointed at the gorgeous gate in front of the door, letting Jing Jing see it from beginning to end.
"Brother, now do you think my family is worthy of this marriage?"
He bowed in shock and said: "It's worthy of me, but I'm just stupid."
"As long as you understand." Hei Fu patted his shoulder and said, "So, when I married Ye's daughter, I thought it was not because I wanted to marry someone high, but because I was well-matched!"
"You are my brother. You should always be by my side when I welcome relatives and guests. When the time comes, you must hold your head high and be neither humble nor overbearing. If you show timidity, you will be laughed at. Can you do it?"
"Di Neng!"
Jing was no longer a young boy in the setting sun. He studied in the school for three years, and then went south with Hei Fu to manage the gold mines. He gained a lot of knowledge. After being taught a lesson by Hei Fu, he cheered up and became the leader of his brother.
I feel proud of my achievements, and as long as I think of them, I can drive away my inferiority complex from my heart.
Jing also said a joke to lighten the mood:
"Brother Zhong, it's too late to get married. My wife, Yan, is pregnant. How will we calculate the seniority of our children in the future?"
"You little boy."
Heifu was so happy that he raised his legs and kicked his butt. At the same time, he said: "Since mother can't come, after the wedding, I will ask for leave from your majesty and take my bride back to Anlu to meet her..."
At this time, the old Nanjun troops behind him unloaded the gifts from the car and stepped forward one after another to pay their respects to Mr. Hei.
There was Zhao Tuo, a false captain from Jiujiang County who drank chicken blood and became sworn sworn friends with Hei Fu, and Ji Ying, a postal officer from Nanchang County.
Most of Heifu's old subordinates serve as lieutenants and prime ministers in various counties in Jiangxi and are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. Only Ji Ying, as a postal officer, can move around frequently and come to Xianyang on the pretext of delivering official documents. Zhao Tuo will be transferred to take up his post elsewhere.
, went to Xianyang to wait for orders, just in time to catch up with his brother's marriage.
As for Li Xian, Xiao Tao, and Dongmen Bao, they could only let them deliver congratulatory gifts on their behalf.
Before Hei Fu could help the two of them up and reminisce with them, he saw a young warrior walking out of the motorcade, holding a sword on his back, squirming, as if he was a little afraid to come to see Hei Fu...
Heifu was greatly surprised, because that was Gong Ao who was supposed to be a county captain in Nanchang and could not appear here!
"Ao!"
Hei Fu ignored the pleasantries and walked over, asking in a low voice: "Why are you here!?"
Gong Ao also risked his life and said matter-of-factly: "The elder of your concubine is getting married. As an old minister, how can I not come?"
Heifu noticed that Gong Ao was wearing ordinary clothes and did not wear any seals.
He suddenly shuddered, this guy couldn't have left his post without permission!
Heifu's old subordinates are different. Li Xian has pledged allegiance to him and often exchanges letters, reporting on what happened in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiao Tao is steady, while Dongmen Bao, although reckless, values the titles he earns.
Only Gong Ao, whose personality is too emotional and impulsive, is really likely to do such a thing!
Seeing that Hei Fu looked unhappy, Ji Ying hurriedly came over to smooth things over and explained for Gong Ao: "Commander You, please calm down. The thing is, Gong Ao is no longer the false captain of Nanchang County!"
"That's right!"
Gong Ao raised his head and said loudly: "Commander You, I resign!"
