Good Life in Qin Dynasty

After everything was ready, Li Jiyang began to take office.

Meng Wu was waiting for him at his post. When he came, he took him to familiarize himself with... the terrain of the Yamen!

"This is where the civil servants work, this is where the servants rest, and this is where the soldiers rest their feet..." I took Li Jiyang for a walk first, and finally said: "Remember, there is something to do in the future." Just send someone to look for it."

"I don't need to be here, what work?" Li Jiyang pointed to himself.

General Meng Wu looked at Li Jiyang who was one size smaller than others in front of him: "Lang Zhongling, you... it's better to study hard first."

Even if he became an official, Li Jiyang has just become a man, and his stature is also a head shorter than others. No one wants such a person even if he is a soldier. Qin people are brave and strong, and Li Jiyang is a bit of a second-class cripple. It means, not to mention short, but also very thin!

It doesn't look like a strong man, who dares to ask for such a soldier?Did you give the enemy a head on the battlefield?

Li Jiyang saw Meng Wu's evaluation of him from his eyes, but thinking about his small body and looking at others, he was not angry.

With well-developed limbs and a brain... a famous general of the Warring States Period is not simple, he is not something that a top student in the archeology department can provoke!

On the first day he took office, Li Jiyang went to get the seal of Guan Fang. It was the first time he saw the official seal of Qin and Guan Fang. Don't let go, always take it with you.

It seems that the meaning of those things is rare, but Meng Wu thinks that he looks very "official fan"!

After receiving the things, he gave him another 100 sergeants: "Although you are not responsible for guarding the palace, you should have a lot of personal soldiers. These [-] people are assigned to you. They will do whatever you want them to do." .”

Li Jiyang rolled his eyes, okay!

He was given some old uncles and grandpas!

Twenty of them have white hair, looking at the weather-beaten face, thin but straight chest, which makes people awe-inspiring!

"These... are all veterans." Although he knew that his arrangement was unreasonable, General Meng Wu still spoke nonsense with his eyes open: "They fought bravely, had rich experience, and they didn't pick trouble, and had strict discipline..."

Anyway, all kinds of good reputations are thrown at them.

"...Do you have an opinion?" After all, it is not so casual to assign soldiers. If Li Jiyang really goes to the battlefield in the future, these soldiers will be his reliance.

The generals of the Great Qin Dynasty fought on the front line when they went to the battlefield, and the personal soldiers had to follow closely. Therefore, it is easier for those who are personal soldiers to obtain military merits than in other places.

But for people like Li Jiyang, ancient books will never be able to go to the battlefield in this life. If even Lang Zhongling from Qin State went to the battlefield, it is estimated that Xianyang City would have been besieged long ago.

"No." It's all like this, even if Li Jiyang is not happy, he can't have an opinion. Back then, they would go to the tombs of martyrs and visit the old people's homes. He has always respected the soldiers. of!

The one hundred sergeants below thought they were here for a formality, but who knew they were actually left by Lang Zhongling's side. They thought their best outcome would be to go home and farm!

Although he has military merits, he also received rewards from the court. After returning home, he still has to perform hard labor, which is not necessary in the army.

"That's good, you take these people back...to settle down properly." General Meng Wu looked at them, "They are all the best soldiers!" "Of course!" Li Jiyang curled his lips, returning the best soldiers, one by one The clothes are tattered, and people are old, weak, sick and disabled, so they have to tidy up when they go back.

After coming for a day, I went back to the mansion in the evening, okay, bring back a hundred people, butler Li Fu followed them and looked at Li Jiyang.

"Clean up, follow Xin Sheng's order!" Li Jiyang looked at the 100 people: "Also arrange a good place."

"No." Butler Li Fu obediently led people to make arrangements.

These 100 people have to make clothes, eat meat, make bedding, and settle their residences. Fortunately, the weather has turned warm, and they are all made of spring shirts with thick fabrics.

This is not the point, the point is to take care of their personal hygiene.

Everyone had to wash their hair, take a bath, and change into new clothes. Fortunately, there were already clothes made for Xin Sheng and the others. At that time, they each had six sets of clothes. Now they have one set for the newcomers, and they will make up another set for them later.

Although they were washed and rinsed, and they were asked to shave their heads to prevent the existence of lice, the veterans felt very happy. When they had dinner, they were even happier, and they were given beef and mutton steamed buns!

"Just eat, eat when you're full, and make clothes for everyone tomorrow." Li Fu settled these veterans.

Li Jiyang was with Gan Jing.

"That's it for today." He told Gan Jing everything about today.

"It's good, this is enough." Gan Jing took a sip of jujube tea: "You are too young now, even if you let me take care of things, it's useless."

"If you know it, you know it, but you feel uncomfortable." Being underestimated by others will cause awkwardness in everyone's heart.

But then he didn't have time to be awkward, the front doorman came to report: "Master Lu Buwei, Xiangbang, is visiting."

"Lu Buwei?" Li Jiyang was a little scared when he heard it: "What is he doing here?"

At the last palace banquet, they hadn't spoken to each other, so they knew that they were very thoughtful, in other words, they were cunning and cunning!

"Come to chat with you." Gan Jing put down the letter: "Do you want me to go with you?"

"No, I'll go by myself!" Li Jiyang stood up: "He seduced you before, but now he can't let you two meet."

"I don't even know how to use words!" Gan Jing exclaimed angrily.

"Hahahaha...!" Li Jiyang ran away.

Lu Buwei was wearing casual clothes, and was sitting comfortably in the living room of the study. Housekeeper Li Fu served him a cup of hawthorn tea.

In fact, it is dried hawthorn with honey, soaked into water for people to drink, because it tastes good, so it is used to entertain guests, and there are also various scented teas, but the women like it better, and it is Mr. Xiangbang who came, but housekeeper Li Fu dare not give it He drinks that, although the son also likes to drink herbal tea.

"Master Xiangbang's visit, it's really a long way to welcome him!" Li Jiyang annoyed Lu Buwei with a smile when he came in.

"Lang Zhongling, you are welcome." Lu Buwei sat without moving.

"We will be neighbors from now on. Please take care of me, Mr. Xiangbang!" Li Jiyang also sat on the main seat. Anyway, this is his territory, even if it is not his, it is also the territory of King Zhuang Xiang.

Are you afraid that he will not succeed if he eats himself?

"Yes, from now on, we will not only be neighbors, but also be officials in the same dynasty." Lu Buwei smiled sincerely: "But you are a military commander, and I am a civilian here. We can only support each other, and it is impossible to communicate with each other on official affairs."

"Yes, civil and military division!" Li Jiyang laughed: "However, Marquis Wen Xin is the lord's best friend, and the lord is my adoptive father, so you are my uncle. Well, uncle, please give me some advice." Nephew!"

Climbing relatives, who wouldn't!

Not to mention, he is so close to Lu Buwei's thoughts, he also wants to have a relationship with Li Jiyang, but how the relationship is related is very important.

If Li Jiyang didn't bow his head to him, and didn't get involved with him, Lu Buwei wouldn't bow his head to accommodate him, because Lu Buwei thought he was enough to make him bow his head first.

Li Jiyang, on the other hand, has his own plans. An outstanding politician like Lu Buwei is not something he can follow, so he can just do whatever he wants!

Because of Li Jiyang's bowing his head, Lu Buwei also showed his sincerity and chatted with him about Qin's officialdom.

Because the Qin State was not of a high family background after all, it did not choose talents, and because Qin State itself was martial arts, most of the civil servants were foreigners!

For example, Lu Buwei, a native of Weiguo; later Han Feizi, a native of Korea.

It can be seen from this that half of Qin's civil servants are basically foreigners, and almost all major decisions are made by them, but the civil servants are all from Qin. For example, in the newly established county, the people sent to manage it are Qin people.

It can be seen that the state of Qin is not defenseless. No matter how high the official position is, it will be useless if the subordinates do not obey orders.

And among the generals, there were also foreigners at the beginning, but more of them were natives of Qin, like Bai Qi, an out-and-out Qin person; the Meng family was also reused because they voted for Qin, and more Wang Jian and Xin Sheng were all He is a native of Qin.

The army of the Qin people only obeyed the command of their own people.

If Meng Zhi hadn't been the first to charge and the last to enjoy himself every time, the Meng family would not have been able to stand up against the Qin army.

Lu Buwei told him these things, but he didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was there, Li Jiyang said, he was taught.

"Most military generals are straightforward and bold. When dealing with them, you must be willing and not stingy."

"They like to drink and eat meat."

"What is important is loyalty, a friendship between life and death."

"I also like women, the ones in the brothels are my favorite."

"But it can't be Qin's daughter. If you have a decent family, you can't take it to the brothel!"

Lu Buwei talked a lot, and Li Jiyang listened very seriously, but there were some things that Li Jiyang could tell from good to bad, such as this prostitute, who would dare to take those family members there to play?

Besides, he was afraid of getting sick!

This era does not pay much attention to hygiene. If you get a disease, there is no place to cure it.

But Lu Buwei conveyed a message to him, that is, Lu Buwei, because he is an outsider, he will never get involved in military power.Only then did Li Jiyang realize that he was really wrong in thinking before!

Knowing that Lu Buwei's final result is not good, but as a human being, he always has his advantages when he succeeds. After this advantage is infinitely magnified, it becomes the fatal attraction. He knows that he is wrong, but he still follows Go forward without hesitation, commonly known as: hit the south wall and never look back!

I really don't admire Lu Buwei!

Judging by what others say, it makes sense, and it is convincing!

If he wasn't an archaeologist, someone who knew history, and wasn't just a young man, he would have believed his words, but unfortunately, he was an adult with a green appearance and pretended to be young!

He wanted to listen carefully to Lu Buwei's words.

On the surface, the two had a good chat, and the Li family received Lu Buwei with a high standard, which gave Lu Buwei enough respect, and Lu Buwei was also very optimistic about Li Jiyang, and told him a lot, including some unspoken rules.

It was already very late, and when Lu Buwei was leaving, Li Jiyang brought him back a lot of flower and fruit tea. This thing is a new item, and it will not be rude.

When they left, Gan Jing and Yang Feiying came hand in hand.

"How?" It was not convenient for them to come forward directly, so Li Jiyang had to face Lu Buwei alone.

But when we met for the first time, Lu Buwei probably wouldn't say much to him.

"It feels good." Li Jiyang was very relaxed.

"Did he mention me and Mr. Yang?" Gan Jing asked him.

"No." Li Jiyang shook his head: "I've been talking about the officialdom all night, as well as military generals, and there are many civil servants, and some, um, things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words."

Both of them understand this. Some obscure things, such as bribery, such as giving sex, etc., Gan Jing knew it from her father, while Yang Feiying looked at Li Jiyang with a complicated expression. , I just heard other people mention such a sentence and a half sentence, and I slowly realized it. No one reminded him, but Lu Buwei actually reminded Li Jiyang, it is really different.

I have been his doorman for almost ten years, and he has never instructed himself in this way.
