Good Life in Qin Dynasty

But in this way, the life in the army is easier, and everyone has a heart of loyalty. Although there are few young men in Zhaodi, many people are hidden households. They were invisible, but they were revealed instead. After joining the army one by one, the monthly military salary was paid on time, and it was always in full.

With money, it is enough to support the family. There are also many people who have vacations after serving in the army for a year or so, and go home to marry. Those who grow up have a room of concubines!

"They all took concubines?" Li Jiyang was unhappy: "Isn't the official not allowed to take concubines?"

Ying Zheng smiled and shook his head: "The Qin law didn't say that!"

Li Jiyang choked: "Then change it!"

Everyone was sweating profusely, did Qin Lv change it if he could?

"This has been going on since ancient times. Taking a concubine is not marrying a wife, and you have already established the women's law in the Qin law. Concubines can't be straightened, and concubines can't be wives. And didn't you study it with Han Fei at that time? Then The women's law is also a help to the inheritance law. Only the eldest son can inherit [-]% of the family business, the second son [-]%, and the rest of the sons share [-]%, which is already very strict." Ying Zheng said: "Don't let Taking concubines is impossible, this Zhao land... has more women than men."

Li Jiyang: "...!"

Well, combined with the actual situation, thinking that the famous Pearl of the Orient in later generations still continues the law of the Qing Dynasty, it is possible to have a second wife!

As soon as the Warring States period ended, he didn't force it anymore.

"You don't want to marry a second wife, do you?" Li Jiyang squinted at Yingzheng.

It made Ying Zheng laugh out loud, and the laughter spread far away...

For three days in a row, they were interviewing different people. Although there are no civil and military officials here, there are also many gentry and officials.

It's just that Ying Zheng didn't see any of the nobles of Zhao State!

Although they all felt that the emperor would definitely summon them, because they had a large area of ​​land!

However, Ying Zheng just didn't see him!

Because three days later, Ying Zheng took Li Jiyang to that restaurant in micro clothes.

The restaurant is called a noodle restaurant. The staple food is noodles, but they also make dishes. During the years of Daqin's vigorous development, the dining tables have become more and more abundant. The two of them came in with their entourage and waiters. There is no private room here, so they They could only occupy one corner of the hall. There were ten desks in total. They occupied four of them. One of them was in the corner. Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang sat alone together. The remaining three surrounded them and were full of entourage. .

In fact, the two of them knew that there were many people following them secretly, so they brought these people out without fear and wandered around Handan City.

"Where did you live before...?" Although Li Jiyang didn't want to ask, he felt that it would not be good for Ying Zheng not to face it. It was his past, an unchangeable past.

"During the attack here, it was blown up by explosives." Ying Zheng said casually: "Now the money bank has been rebuilt."

"Oh, that's good." Li Jiyang stopped asking. Without those buildings, Ah Zheng was in a better mood.

Ying Zheng laughed, it's still so easy to deceive!

He was in the Proton Mansion at that time, and the Proton Mansion was built under the outer wall of the Wangcheng. Unless the Qin army blew up the Zhao Palace, the Proton Mansion would be fine!

This was the thinking of those in power in the Zhao Kingdom back then. They just wanted to be close to the palace so that they could know every movement.

In fact, it's not too close, it's just closer to the high wall of the palace.

After taking revenge on those people, the Proton Mansion was intentionally blown up. Originally, I wanted to build a public toilet, but I was afraid of being disrespectful to the first emperor, so I had to put it aside. Later, I heard that I was looking for a place to build a bank, so I overturned this place Come out, as the chief bank of Handan County, the bank of the Great Qin Empire.

That place has been changed, and no one mentions the previous Proton Mansion.

The shop waiter came over to ask them to order, because there is a dish sign hanging on the shopkeeper's side, written in very large characters, in simplified characters!

Li Jiyang smiled when he saw it: "Sure enough, it has been promoted."

"Of course, characters are the most important way of inheritance. How can it be so convenient if they are not unified?" Ying Zheng also saw the simplified characters: "Now even the imperial examinations are going to be held, so of course the simplified characters are used."

In the past two years, simplified characters have been popular, and newspapers have used simplified characters, and the imperial examinations have been published in newspapers. These people know the meaning of simplified characters better.

"You two, what would you like to eat?" Even though there were a few people separated, the waiter wanted to ask the customers inside.

"Two bowls of pulled noodles, a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers, a plate of Wufan mutton, and a plate of spinach and egg soup." Ying Zheng looked at the menu and ordered.

"Give me another serving of spicy cabbage." Li Jiyang also looked at the menu boards, and there were spicy cabbage, fried peanuts, etc. on the bottom.

"Each of us has a bowl of noodles, a piece of Wufan mutton, and a piece of spicy cabbage!" These people don't pick and choose, as long as they have meat.

And looking at the other tables, the noodles are very good, there should be nothing to eat. "Okay!" The waiter in the shop quickly went down and told the back chef, how many bowls of noodles and dishes.

Li Jiyang looked at the environment here: "It's not bad here!"

Although it is facing the street, ten desks have been packed in the lobby, and bamboo curtains have been placed in front of it, which can keep out the wind and rain, not to mention the light, and there are some tables, chairs and benches in the open space in front of the store, where some porters are resting. , each of them had a bowl of pulled noodles and a dish of spicy cabbage. Xilihulu ate very deliciously.

But the people in the lobby usually order dishes besides noodles, either stir-fried or stewed, and meat is also a little more expensive than vegetarian vegetables.

"Of course, this place turned out to be... the shop opened by the cousin of the concubine's family of the third housekeeper of Chunping Junfu." Ying Zheng told Li Jiyang about a very tortuous relationship: "Otherwise, it wouldn't have been open for so many years. No one came to make trouble, but later... it seems that the owner has changed here."

Li Jiyang was dumbfounded: "Isn't this relationship too far away?"

"Whether he is far away or not, anyway, no one here dared to cause trouble back then, and that family was honest..." Ying Zheng was talking, but suddenly closed his mouth, but his eyes widened!

Li Jiyang followed his gaze and found that there was a family of four who had just walked in!

Wearing accessories, it looks like a well-to-do family. The man has a beard and looks like a big patriarch. The woman is holding a little girl and leading a little boy. Although it is a jingchai sarong, it is made of fine fabric son.

The shopkeeper in the store smiled when he saw them: "Boss, you are back!"

"Well, how is the business in the store?" The man turned out to be the owner of the store. Just pulling noodles in one day is [-]% more than usual!" The shopkeeper was very hospitable: "The backyard has been cleaned, you can take the mistress to have a rest!"

"Yeah." The man turned around but said softly to the woman: "Fang, go in and have a rest. This is the last shop today. After finishing the bill, I will go home the day after tomorrow."

"Okay!" The woman smiled gently: "Don't stay up too late to worry about it."

The couple are very affectionate at first glance, and the little boy looks eight times like a man!

The little girl seemed to be sleepy, and kept dozing off on her mother's shoulder.

Li Jiyang turned his head and was taken aback for a moment!

That woman is called Ah Fang!

There are three most famous buildings in the Qin Dynasty. The first is of course the Great Wall, the second is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and the third is the Efang Palace, which is said to be three hundred miles long!

The first two were discovered and excavated, while the Afang Palace has always been a legend.

According to the "Historical Records" in "The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang", in 35 years, Qin Shihuang thought that there were too many people in the capital Xianyang, and the palace of the former king was small, so he ordered that in the royal garden Shanglin Garden in Weinan between Fengfeng and Hao, the capital of the old Zhou Dynasty, imitate the world's The elite of the building is smart and beautiful, creating a new palace.

This court palace is the famous ancient palace group later known as Afang Palace.

According to folklore, Qin Wang Yingzheng fell in love with a Handan girl named Afangnu when she was a child in Handan City. After Qin Huang unified the world, he wanted to make her queen, but was opposed by all the ministers because she was Zhao Nu.

In order not to embarrass Ying Zheng, Ah Fang committed suicide.

In order to commemorate the woman he loved so much, Emperor Qin built Zao'efang Palace.

It is said that her father was Xia Wuqi, the genius doctor of Zhao State.

Now Xia Wuqi is in Qin State, married and had children, and there is no girl named Xia Yufang at home. He always thought it was a legend, but who knew that he met a real person today!

"She is... Xia Yufang?" Li Jiyang asked Ying Zheng in a low voice.

"Well, back then she was a herbal girl, but she didn't expect to be married now!" Ying Zheng whispered to him, "Auntie was sick back then, and I couldn't find a doctor, so she gave me a handful of herbal medicines. Make Auntie cool down."

"Then do you want to go up and say hello?" Li Jiyang asked him with a nervous expression - although he saw a real person now, according to the historical and archaeological excavations of later generations, Qin Shihuang did not build the Afang Palace at all!

The reason is that the name is wrong!

Because "A" is a Shaanxi dialect, meaning that, that.

Efanggong: It means the palace next to the house.

With the character of Qin Shihuang, it is impossible to call a luxurious palace such a name casually, and it can also be proved that this legendary palace does not exist.

Others say that in order to consolidate the imperial power, embody the dignity of the emperor, and provide for his own enjoyment, he built a large number of palaces and palaces in the capital Xianyang, and the largest palace was the Afang Palace.

In order to show off, such a large palace was named Efang Palace, which means a random place that doesn't care too much.

And the place is gorgeous too!

What Li Jiyang cares about is that later generations said that Qin Shihuang built the Afang Palace for his favorite concubine, and this woman was called Afangnu by the world.

The two of them looked like childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts!

But Ah Fang now has a son and a daughter, and her husband looks good, so should she be robbed?

"How do you say hello?" Although Ying Zheng didn't understand why Xiao Yang was so nervous, he still said his plan: "I'm the emperor now, she's a married woman, reuniting with me after a long absence?"

"Didn't he be kind to you?" Li Jiyang curled his lips, unaware that he was covered in acetic acid.

Who knew that Ying Zheng spoke more forcefully: "She gave me a bunch of herbal medicine back then, but I also gave money, okay?"

Li Jiyang: "...!!!"

In this pink autumn that should be a romantic memory of the past, is it too vulgar for you to mention money?

"That was the money that Auntie gave me to buy snacks. I saved it for a long time. I thought I would have a noodle meal here, but...Although Auntie also gave the money later, I already knew at that time that Auntie was wrong. It’s easy, it’s hardly spent, and I saved it up.” Ying Zheng recalled: “Later, Zhao Guo suddenly paid attention to our mother and daughter, and sent all kinds of good things like water. When we left, we returned them It’s a lot! Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll only have a little money when I go back with my mother.”

Later, they finally met Li Jiyang.

Li Jiyang's generosity was not what the two of them expected. The first time I frightened A Niang, and later saw that he kept sending things, A Niang also straightened her back. Although Lu Buwei is shameless, A Niang Mother had the courage and confidence to reject him. At this time, the food came and tasted okay. Li Jiyang took a bite, but felt that it was just like that. He couldn't compare to the royal chef in the palace.

Then I was taken aback!

For so many years, he eats in the palace, eats at home, and eats in Lijiazhuang. He has the same taste. When he goes out to eat at other people's houses, although the taste has changed slightly, he just treats it as something new.

I never thought that compared with the outside, it would be much worse before arriving!

Ying Zheng is not very picky about food: "Sure enough, it still tastes the same, but it's not as delicious as it was then."

"Of course." Li Jiyang said, "It's as sweet as honey when you're hungry, but it's not sweet when you're full."

Ying Zheng listened and thought for a while: "Sure enough!"

A group of people left the gate of this store full of food, and the Sheriff of Handan County, who was guarding a teahouse standing next to him, wiped off his cold sweat, then turned his head and told people: "I will take care of this store in the future. Look good!"

"promise!"

No matter what, they are all old people with the emperor!

The group of people came out to go shopping after they had eaten their fill. Because the autumn sun was shining brightly, it was the autumn harvest season. Some people came to pay taxes and food, and even some people went to the city to sell autumn vegetables.

In fact, it is some Chinese cabbage, radish, red pepper and other items.

Since the advent of chili, well, it has quickly become popular all over the world!

"How much is this cabbage per catty?" Li Jiyang asked the price of the vegetables as he walked around.

"Because it is an autumn vegetable, it can be pickled, dried, or even stored in the cellar, so it is more expensive. It costs two copper coins per plant, but it is guaranteed that each plant is more than five catties!" A sincere farmer: "If you buy more than [-] trees, the smaller ones will be delivered to your house!"

"I want all these dishes." Ying Zheng was naturally happy when he saw that the common people admired the things Li Jiyang gave him: "Delivery...forget it, let someone come and pick it up."

Over there, Manager Jiang has already ordered people: "Send someone back to pull the cart, these dishes will be considered as dinner dishes today."

There were more than 50 cabbages in that cart, not enough for a meal in the palace!

"At night, let someone put some pork in the dishes." Li Jiyang also noticed it, and whispered to Manager Jiang: "These dishes, with meat, should be enough for the people in the palace to eat for a meal, right?"

"I'm afraid... not enough." Even though they are usually quiet, those people are not allowed to go out for a stroll without permission, and there are quite a few of them.

"...Then let's buy some more, radishes or something?" Li Jiyang pointed to the stall in front, where there were two large carts of radishes.

Ying Zheng also bought it.

Chief Manager Jiang looked at it, and it was almost enough. Although there might be more meat and less vegetables, it was an unexpected surprise for the people in the palace who ate less meat.

Because the emperor and the emperor both said that they want stewed meat, and if there are fewer dishes, the meat will naturally increase.

Ying Zheng also bought Li Jiyang a windmill made of straw. Although Li Jiyang has played with windmills before, he has never seen this kind of windmills made of three strings made by hand. He was very happy to play. !

After wandering until the afternoon, it was almost time to make dinner, so I went back to the palace full of satisfaction.

"It's a good day!" Li Jiyang lay down in the pool, allowing Ying Zheng to rub his back: "Handan City is really big!"

"Of course, Handan is the capital of Zhao State." Ying Zheng said, "Even if it's not as good as Xianyang, it's still huge, at least bigger than Yingchuan County."

Yingchuan County, the capital of South Korea at that time.

South Korea was a small country back then, although it lacked the confidence to dominate, of course it was not as good as Handan, the capital of Zhao State.

"But Xianyang is better!" Li Jiyang said, "The people there are better than those here."

"Yes, Xianyang is the best." Ying Zheng agreed with a smile.

The two of them rested overnight, and the next day, Ying Zheng and Li Jiyang studied the route together. It was impossible for them to stay in Handan for too long, because they still had to go to Yandi.

"Because it's not cold at this time, let's go to Yandi to spend the winter. I heard that it is very cold in winter there. I have already had someone renovate the palace in Jijun. There are not only heating, but also water and sewage inside, so as to save the inconvenience in winter." It's convenient." Ying Zheng pointed to the map and said, "Let's stay until the beginning of spring, and then go to Bohai County, which is the original land of Qi."

"Okay!" Li Jiyang was very excited: "I heard that the heavy snow in Ji County in winter can bury people!"

"It's not that exaggerated!" Ying Zheng couldn't laugh or cry: "It's just that the wind and snow there are very heavy. I heard that every year is similar to our previous winter's heavy snowfall."

Li Jiyang knows that even if the global temperature becomes warmer in future generations, the Northeast is still known as the "Snow Town"!

When it snowed heavily, it was really a vast expanse of whiteness between heaven and earth!

"Let people prepare more things to resist the cold, we still have a lot of old people here!" Li Jiyang thought of the few old people who came with him: "Don't freeze them!"

"I've sent an order to go back and ask people to prepare a lot of wintering items, and this year's tax and tax money in Ji County don't have to be returned to Xianyang, it's reserved for our use." Ying Zheng said: "It saves running back and forth, wasting time and things .”

"It also makes sense." Li Jiyang continued to look at the sand table, which marked Ji County.

The capital of later generations, today's Ji County, is already among the mountains.

After staying in Handan City for another three days, Ying Zheng was busy making inspections, and Li Jiyang was busy visiting the Handan Palace.

He has to watch it for fun!
