Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 535
Chapter 550
Neishi County, Lantian County.

Lantian County is located in the southeast of Xianyang City. After leaving Xianyang City, take Lantian Road, pass Wuguan, and then go straight to Chudi.

Wuguan was not built in the early Spring and Autumn Period. After entering the Spring and Autumn Period, various countries competed for hegemony. The main directions of Qin's outward development were to the east and south. In addition to attacking other countries, it also had to guard against attacks from other countries. Therefore, after defeating Wei After firmly controlling Hangu Pass, the gateway to the east of Xianyang City, the kings and ministers of Qin set their sights on Chu in the south.

With Hangu Pass in hand, the eastern part of Great Qin is safe.You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat.Only the south of Xianyang is a smooth road without any fortresses.At that time, there were still several small vassal states between Qin and Chu.

However, most of these small vassal states are subordinate states of Chu State, not Qin State.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although Qin State was already a powerful country among the princes, the countries in the Central Plains still looked down on Qin State and regarded Qin State as a land of barbarians.

Compared with the contempt for Qin, although Chu is also regarded as a southern barbarian by the Central Plains countries, when choosing between Qin and Chu, each small vassal state still chooses Chu, because Chu is more powerful than Chu. Qin State is much bigger, and its strength is at least superficially stronger than Qin State.

Entering the Spring and Autumn Period, the feudal lords struggled for hegemony, and the south of Lantian was the main battlefield where Qin and Chu fought each other. It was against this background that Qin State built Wuguan under the eyes of Chu State.

The construction of Wuguan was completed. In the east of Daqin, Hanguguan Fortress was used as the gateway, and in the south, Wuguan Fortress was used to block the army of Chu State. The Four Fortresses of Qin Dynasty began to be completed.

With the four fortresses completed, Da Qin had truly passed through the most difficult years and began to have enough energy to advance eastward and south.

Wuguan is the gateway, and Lantian County is the bridgehead.From Lantian to Wuguan, there are hundreds of miles in between, but there is no county government.All the troops of Great Qin going south must pass through the blue sky, and then take Wuguan Road to go south through Wuguan.

It was at that time that the Lantian Camp was set up, serving as the garrison of Wuguan and even the logistics base for the army going south, and it continued until Emperor Shihuang unified the world.

Up to now, the Blue Sky Camp has long lost the busyness of the past.Qin and Chu fought for hegemony. In order to deal with Chu State or to invade Chu State from the south, the Blue Sky Camp had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in its heyday, but now there are less than a thousand old and weak soldiers guarding the huge Blue Sky Camp. Daying, it can be said that the blue sky camp is the best witness of the rise of the Great Qin.

On this day, a group of unusual people came on the road leading to Xianyang outside Lantian County.

The reason why it is different is that at this moment, because the National Day of Remembrance is approaching, 90.00% of the people on Wuguan Road go north, because they all enter from Wuguan to Xianyang, and there are almost no people going south.

But this bronze chariot, guarded by dozens of big men in soap suits who looked like courtyard guards, was heading south amidst the turbulent flow of people!Naturally, it attracted the frequent glances of people going north.

The family that can have such a servant who guards the courtyard, and it is obvious at a glance that they are from Xianyang, can only be a wealthy family or even aristocratic family in Xianyang City.

Just how could such aristocrats leave Xianyang at this time?

Nowadays, no matter who is in the world, they wish to become Qin people forever, yet some people will leave.

The people on the north side of Wuguan Road all looked at the bronze chariot with weird eyes, even with pity.

Obviously, in the eyes of these old Qin people, the children of the aristocratic family in the bronze chariot must not have their heads caught in the door. After all, there are elders in the family.If the younger generation doesn’t understand, it’s naturally impossible for the elders in the clan to understand.

And being able to have so many servants and guards who are not easy to mess with at first glance must be an important figure in the noble family.

Then there is only one explanation, either that he was driven out of Xianyang by the emperor or sent out to do business.

However, most people think it is the first type.

Lantian Academy is the only one within a radius of tens of miles, especially within the distance of hundreds of miles from Lantian to Wuguan.

The children of the people in dozens of large and small villages scattered between Lantian County and Wuguan, including the children of all the townships in Lantian County and the children of the people in the city, can only enter the Lantian Academy.

Similarly, the Blue Sky Academy is the same as all the schools in the counties and counties of Daqin. There are elementary schools suitable for children under the age of 12, and county schools suitable for children aged 12 to 16.

The county schools under the Ministry of Rites and the Royal Academy must have county schools in every county seat, but not every county has a school.

Instead, they chose to set up schools in counties with a large population concentration, convenient transportation, or relatively remote counties.

Bai Zhen is 16 years old.He can be said to be lucky or unlucky.He is said to be lucky because his age is just at the upper limit for the county school to enroll students of the right age.

He is said to be unlucky because he is already 16 years old.In two years he will have a coming-of-age ceremony.Having the coming-of-age ceremony meant that he could apply for the Imperial College.

However, during his 16 years, he was born in a poor family and never had the opportunity to enjoy the education that the children of the aristocratic family should have. Instead, he started to run around for his family's livelihood at a young age.

Therefore, compared with his peers, he matured too much earlier.

Of course, there are not many poor children from ordinary families like him in this world.

It is said that the children of the poor are headed home early, maybe it is the group of them they are talking about.

There was no foundation of literacy before, which meant that Bai Zhen had to complete all the courses from the age of six to the age of 16 within two years.

Only in this way can he catch up with the examination of the Royal Academy.

Because the Ministry of Rites had stipulated when formulating the education rules, that is, students must leave the county school as soon as they reach adulthood. Regardless of whether you have been admitted to the Royal Academy, the county school and the county school will not continue to allow you to use resources.

Of course, after you go home, you can still continue to take the exam of the Taiyuan College in the next application for the exam.

Until you pass the exam.

What came into view was a young nobleman wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a jade crown on his head, broad shoulders and broad back, sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, and a Hexi smile on his face.

Bai really liked to meet the smiling eyes of the noble young man.

After just one glance at Bai Zhen, he quickly lowered his head, hurriedly put the books in his hands into the bag on his waist, clasped his fists and bowed, "Student Bai Zhen has seen the young master!"

Although Bai Zhen is young, it doesn't mean he is stupid.Even if the noble young man in front of him is a fool, he can tell that he must belong to a wealthy family.

This is not the main thing, the most important thing is that the inherent nobility seems to be imprinted in the bones, like the gods in the sky, people dare not look at each other at all.Because just looking at it, you can feel the nobility coming from your face.

It's not that Bai Zhen has never seen a big man. When the Lantian Academy opened, all officials from Lantian County who could stand on the stage were present.But in Bai Zhen's pure and simple memory, the magistrate of Lantian County at that time was already a big man.

However, after comparing at this moment, Bai Zhen knew that compared with the young nobleman in front of him, the magistrate of Lantian County was basically the difference between a grass chicken and a black bird.No, but the contrast between the sun and the moon and the light of fireflies.
