Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 408 Two Super Letters

Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang had only seen the model of the post station, but had never actually visited it. Li Jiyang had seen videos at most, which was like not having traveled to the local area, but only seen the effect of aerial photography.

When I got there, I found that the construction here is really good, it looks like a manor hotel, and because of the large number of people, all the rooms are full, it looks like a small city.

First I went to see the three elders, and they were all very happy. Jiang's servant even arranged for someone to boil hot water for them to take a hot bath, rub their shoulders and feet, and tell them to relax.

Then I went to see the construction of the station. Yes, the station is big, with four public toilets, and each of the remaining houses also has toilets, and there is a large private plot.

And the surrounding area is full of mulberry trees, and there are several villages not far from the post station, which are responsible for providing some daily consumables, such as food and dishes, to the post station.

Moreover, their house collapsed last year, and they were arranged to live in a safe house in the post station. The house was built after a winter, and then they moved back. Since then, the relationship with the post station has become better.

However, there are quite a few people who retired from the army with disabilities, and those who saw their former comrades. These people are very happy to get together!

Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang bumped into several groups of people: "In this case, the widow will give you wine, but you can't drink too much. Let's celebrate your reunion!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone shouted their gratitude.

Li Jiyang also sent them meat and fruit, which they brought by themselves, except for apples, pears, and peaches.

Tao Zi is the case of Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang.

Seeing that they were living a good life, Li Jiyang finally felt relieved.

In the evening, he said to Ying Zheng, "Fortunately, they are all used to this kind of life, otherwise I'm afraid I will blame myself..."

These disabled soldiers were Li Jiyang's heart disease, and he also got rid of it after arranging them.

Those who settled down in the past now have a new way out, and the children who have been taught have also joined the army.

"Thank you, Xiaoyang." Those people live a good life, work well, and are energetic. Thanks to Xiaoyang's proper arrangement, their families can be less burdened.

"Hmph!" Li Jiyang squeezed Ying Zheng's chin: "How can I thank me?"

"How about a promise with your body?" Ying Zheng followed his strength and pressed on him...

The next day Li Jiyang was unhappy: "Don't thank me!"

"Hey, have breakfast." Ying Zheng pulled him out of bed and fed him rice porridge and pickles.

"Eat the egg yolk!" Li Jiyang pointed to the half-cut salted duck eggs on the plate.

"Okay, eat the egg yolk." Ying Zheng dug out a salted egg yolk for him, put it in the porridge and fed it to him.

"When is it?" Li Jiyang looked outside and found that the sky was bright.

"It's almost time to eat." Ying Zheng continued to feed him.

After Li Jiyang took a sip, "It's already this hour?"

Moshi, that is, Jishi, that is, between nine o'clock in the morning and eleven o'clock in the morning.

It's already almost noon, isn't it?

"Take a rest at the post station today, and leave tomorrow!" Ying Zheng wiped his mouth for him: "I ordered you to go down last night, so that no one will disturb you in the morning. Do you want to relieve yourself?"

"Yes!" Li Jiyang got up limply, and Ying Zheng helped him to the back.

Li Jiyang didn't say anything and didn't let him in to see him holding the water to release the water, so he pushed him out. After the water was released, Ying Zheng had already been cleaned up.

"I'm going to discuss government affairs with someone today, will you go?" Ying Zheng asked Li Jiyang.

"I'm not going." Li Jiyang yawned: "I'll bask in the sun and take a nap."

"Okay, I'll let someone guard the door and not let others disturb you." Ying Zheng knew that Li Jiyang seemed to let someone he trusted guard the door when he slept, and wouldn't even let him in.

"Who do you want?" Li Jiyang stretched his waist: "Guard the door?"

"Jiang's servant?" Ying Zheng offered a candidate.

"No, it's better to let Zhao Xi come!" Li Jiyang quickly denied: "Let Jiang Neishi follow you, I don't worry, Zhao Xi is fine, let him guard the door!"

"As long as you like it." Ying Zheng went out and told Jiang Neishi to arrange for Zhao Xi to guard the gate for Qin Anjun.

After Jiang Neishi listened, he smiled: "No."

But then he went to find Zhao Xi. Ying Zheng knew what he was going to do, and didn't care what he told Zhao Xi. Anyway, Zhao Xi came to guard the gate honestly in the end.

Li Jiyang stayed in the room for a while, took a book to read, and even wrote for a while. He has been compiling textbooks since he came to the Warring States Period, from elementary school, middle school, high school, to university.

He thinks that this will make him feel that he is from a later age. He thinks that the people of China will always lead the world, starting with education.

When Ying Zheng unified the six countries, he must talk to him about education.

After writing for a while, my back was sore, I got up and walked, swayed, and then I went to bed and lay down, slept for a while, woke up and found that it was only in the afternoon, and someone was guarding outside, so he put down the bed curtain, entered the system, and for a few days No, everyone knows that he has gone out. Qing Lingzi hung up the storage bag. After Li Jiyang’s transaction, he did not see Qing Lingzi, but there were two bottles in the storage bag, jade bottles, one with Juling Pill written on it, One says Qingling Pill.

What do you mean?

There is no instruction manual, and this medicine cannot be taken indiscriminately!

I have no choice but to keep it first, and then leave a message to them, telling them that they are on a business trip and it is inconvenient to trade, so they can't trade for the time being.

After coming out, he went to the space again, and a lot of small gift bags were produced in the space. Li Jiyang simply went out, and Zhao Xi guarded the door.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Xi bent down.

"Hey, I was just looking for you. I have brought a lot of things." Li Jiyang said: "Those small gift bags, I will give some more on the way. You take me to have a look."

"No." Zhao Xi led the people to follow Li Jiyang to the place where the car was temporarily parked.

The boss's row of cars were all brought by Qin Anjun, but they were actually useless, because Junshang was with Wangshang all day, so it was useless at all, what about Zhao Xi.

Li Jiyang secretly put the things in the car, and Zhao Xi wondered afterwards, how could the gift bags not be reduced even after sending them all the way?

When Ying Zheng came back in the evening, the two had dinner and chatted about Taidi Wang.

"You did a good job in Xianyang. You even wrote me a letter, saying that everything is fine at home, and that you are very obedient, and you didn't come up with random ideas to govern state affairs." Ying Zheng showed the letter to Li Jiyang.

Li Jiyang opened it, and on it was Taidi Wang's handwriting. He wrote a lot in a heartbreaking cat's paw and dog scratching font, saying that everything is fine in the palace, and everything is fine in the court, a very formulaic letter.

It was court paper.

"That's all?" Li Jiyang looked at the thin three-page paper, and felt that it didn't look like Taidi Wang's style!

"And this." Ying Zheng took out two small pocket-like envelopes, one was written by Taidi Wang and the other was written by Li Xin.

Li Jiyang: "...What is this?"

"The letters they wrote to you!" Ying Zheng told him very calmly: "One person writes them separately!"

Li Jiyang: "...!"

For the first letter, Li Jiyang chose to read Li Xin's. Although Taidi Wang's was for him, he felt that he should not provoke Ying Zheng.

Didn't you see his face turned black?

It was the first time that Li Xin was separated from his uncle so far. The farthest before was Lijiazhuang to Xianyang City, and the farthest was Mohist College.

Going to Yingchuan County this time is the farthest distance I have left.

He didn't feel anything for the first few days, but as time went by, he really missed his little uncle.

Li Jiyang thought so, and opened the letter.

Li Xin's handwriting is a bit strong, and it has the meaning of gold and iron horses. It is very vigorous and powerful. At the beginning of the article, he said that he and Wang Taidi went to court together!

Li Jiyang: "...!"

On the first day of court, under the dragon chair made of gold, a table made of golden nanmu, which was half smaller, was placed. Li Xin went to the hall fully armed and stood behind Taidi Wang to escort him.

The first thing is to say that the payment of taxes and food is completed, and the amount of food and grass will be allocated to various places.

This matter was too big for the two of them, so they let it go. After discussing for a while, they wrote a memorial together and sent it to the lord who was away from home.

Taidi Wang and Li Xin thought: It's a waste of time, why not send it to the king in the end!

"...Uncle, what do you think they are talking about? Based on last year's quantity, it is enough to send it to the king?"

Li Jiyang: "...!"

The second thing is to say something about winemaking.

As we all know, the current rice wine is brewed with grain, but in this era, the yield of grain is very low, even if there is a bumper harvest, it is impossible to let it go to make wine.

Therefore, there is a certain share in wine making, and people cannot make unlimited wine. Only a few koji are allowed to be produced in a year, and people can make a certain amount of wine.

At that time, half of the government will use it and the other half will be kept by the people.

Both of them are very interested in this. What Li Xin meant: Since the food in this country is not allowed to make wine, can we make wine by buying some food from other vassal states?

"This kid is pretty smart!" Li Jiyang smiled and said, "I know the reason so quickly!"

In fact, many folks do this. The koji can be used sparingly, and the brewing time is just a little longer.

As long as the country's grain is not used to make wine, it is not illegal. This is a typical way of taking advantage of the loopholes in the law, relying on the fact that there were many princes in the Warring States Period.

Li Jiyang said in his heart: When Yingzheng unified the world, there are two possibilities for these people. Either they live an honest life, or they brew wine secretly.

Food is the foundation of this era, without food, we can only starve.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "He has been smart since he was a child."

In the end, I left a memorial for the king to read.

The third thing is the criminal. It is also the beginning of autumn. In late autumn, apart from paying taxes and food, the common people are fine, but there is still one thing to be done in the court, and that is the autumn judgment.

In ancient times, executions were generally carried out in autumn and winter, which is related to the ancient people's concept of natural theocracy, that is, following the will of heaven.

Spring and summer are the seasons for all things to grow, while autumn and winter are the seasons for trees to wither, which symbolizes death.

Human behavior, including political activities, must conform to the weather, otherwise they will be punished by the gods.

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, there has been a practice of execution in autumn and winter. Except for serious crimes such as treason, which can be executed immediately, the general death row inmates can only be executed after the autumn frost falls and before the winter solstice.

It became an express regulation in the Han Dynasty.

Although there is nothing going on in the Han Dynasty now, according to the custom, the Autumn Judgment is held at this time.

In fact, the state of Qin seldom kills people. The favorite thing for officials is to let prisoners build the Great Wall, or do hard labor and labor.

Rather than slashing people with a knife and making people die happily, they would rather have someone serve in the military.

Hard work, labor, and corvée all require a lot of labor!

"Qiu Jue..." Li Jiyang thought for a while, "I don't seem to have heard of Qiu Jue very often."

"That's why I avoid you on weekdays..." Ying Zheng was afraid that Li Jiyang would make him uncomfortable, so he seldom showed his killing in front of him.

Li Jiyang rolled his eyes at him: "If you avoid me, you will be fine?"

"Hehe... Read the letter!" Ying Zheng pointed to the stack of letter papers.

Li Jiyang lowered his head and continued.

This matter, according to the custom, everyone still asked Wang Taidi, thinking that Wang Taidi would leave it to Brother Wang to decide like the previous two.

As a result, Taidi Wang said directly: Don't miss the day, cut it off quickly!

Then all civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded!

And Li Xin also said in the letter, this kind of thing doesn't need to be approved by the king, right?Didn't you say business as usual before you left?

Then in accordance with the usual practice, cut off the matter!
