Good Life in Qin Dynasty

The lord of the state has passed away. According to regulations, the new lord of the state of Qin is An Guojun Prince Zhu.

But Qin State has its own rules, that is, Xin State can only succeed to the throne after the autumn harvest.

Even if the old lord passed away during the first month, the new lord will have to wait until the autumn harvest!

Of course, if he dies during the autumn harvest, the new king will succeed immediately!

Although the current state affairs are still handled by Prince Zhu, he is not yet the "lord of the country". He will not be called the "lord of the country", the lord of Qin, until he ascends the throne after the autumn harvest.

But Li Jiyang knew that the ruler would only be in office for three days!

Li Jiyang sighed.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Butler Li Zhong came back and saw the young master sighing.

"I was still thinking about finding wives for our family members to start a family! As a result, it will be delayed for at least a year." This era is not as long as three years, but it still has to be guarded for a year or so, as it is among the people, The royal family is even more so.

"Looking for women?" Butler Li Zhong said very simply: "If the number is not enough to match, just buy some women and bring them back, that's all right?"

"Isn't this a national funeral?" Li Jiyang reminded the housekeeper.

"National mourning is for the common people, the nobles, the officials, those people, what does it have to do with the servants?" Li Zhong's shutdown is also inexplicable: "The servants just find a woman to have children, and return them to us. Lijiazhuang is increasing its manpower!"

Li Jiyang was dumbfounded, he realized now that in the eyes of Steward Li Zhong, servants are just like the cattle and sheep at home, they are nothing at all!

Keeping filial piety for the king is done by people with status, and servants have no status!

They can't even show filial piety to the king, because their "filial piety" doesn't count at all!

"Then, then, let's buy some women and come back!" Li Jiyang knew the situation in Lijiazhuang, as long as there are strong laborers here, the women either wash clothes, cook, or raise chickens and watch pigs. At most, they clean the barn.

And those women are just like that, except for those who were sent down to serve the old women with flat heads and straight faces, the others are all healthy women with big arms and round waists!

Not to mention the looks, the feel, according to Li Jiyang's visual inspection, is not very good!

So Li Jiyang mentioned: "I want to buy some little girls, the ones who are [-]th or [-]th, they are better looking, and they are looking for a wife for someone. What's the matter, you have to look past them!"

"Master, the price of a better-looking woman is very high!" Butler Li Zhong really planned to find some young women at random and come back to match him.

He really didn't think about his looks!

Moreover, the price of a good-looking woman is high. If she is good-looking and a virgin, well, she must be picked up by the nobles!

No matter how beautiful she is, she is a virgin, if she is [-] years old, and she can sing and dance, okay, the price is beyond their imagination!

"I didn't say that I must buy such a beautiful one, I mean, at least it looks better and has a better figure, don't come to the kitchen to deliver food...!" Li Jiyang rolled his eyes: "That's not okay! "

Not to mention people like Li Jiyang who have seen all kinds of beautiful women, even people like Ah Da Ah Er, they can't talk about it!

"Of course not!" Butler Li Zhong's answer was particularly interesting: "The women in the kitchen look so good because they are full. The ones that are bought and sold outside are different. It's fine if you don't starve to death. We have to wash it when we come back. It takes a while to feed well."

More importantly, it is necessary to see if the person who bought it has any hidden diseases?With or without disease?Don't have any bad habits?Will you sneak around and so on....

"Oh, then think of a way to count how many bachelors there are in the family!"

"unmarried man?"

"It's just single, how many servants are there without a wife? Remember how many, and then buy as many women as possible to make them all have families!"

"Are you all married?"

"All with women?"

"It's not about marrying a woman, it's about starting a family!"

"Get married?" Butler Li Zhong didn't quite understand.

"In addition to buying women, the big guy needs to build a house during the slack season." Li Jiyang pointed to the top with his index finger: "What is this place where you live now?"

"House!" Butler Li Zhong said quite proudly: "This is a good place for our family to live in. The thatched house that everyone else lives in, and the earthen house that our family lives in!"

Li Jiyang's eyes widened: "That's all right?"

"Okay!" Butler Li Zhong nodded and admitted naturally: "At least it's better than a thatched house!"

"I don't like it!" Li Jiyang directly objected: "I'll change it to a good house! A good house! It's not the house they live in now, but a good house, understand?"

"Do you want to build it like the one you live in?" Housekeeper Li Zhong guessed.

"Yes!" The house he lived in was built with standard Qin bricks. Although the tiles are rough, they definitely have the prototype of Han tiles.

Butler Li Zhong turned around to leave at that time: "Master, you'd better go back to sleep, it's better to dream."

"Why?" Li Jiyang held housekeeper Li Zhong and refused to let him go.

"When this house was built, it cost thirty gold pancakes!" Butler Li Zhong patted Li Jiyang on the shoulder: "Thirty golden pancakes! Young master, do you want to spend thirty golden pancakes? Build houses for the servants?"

Thirty gold pancakes, when I bought this valley, it only cost [-] gold pancakes!

"Thirty golden pancakes are not many!" Li Jiyang knew that he now had 110 golden pancakes, enough to support the construction of three such houses.

In fact, one house is enough for those people to live in. They don’t need any yards, they just need to build a sturdy house, which can make do in summer, but in winter, hehe!

He knew how cold this winter would be if there was no kang!

When they went to archaeology, they had to set up tents because they were in the deep mountains. They had no experience!

They didn’t prepare anything to keep them warm. Even if the tents were windproof, they could still keep warm, but in winter, they were still terribly cold!

They also had a classmate from Northeast China at the time, and they all caught a cold!

They were all wearing unlined clothes at the time!

Everyone was trembling, and they were still in the mood to joke, saying that he came from the northeast, why couldn't he resist the cold?

He said that there is heating in the Northeast, even in the countryside, there are kangs and walls for heating, and there are thick big cotton-padded jackets and cotton-padded trousers. There is nothing in this place, it is so cold!

At that time, it was still global warming!

At this time, there is no pollution, and he doesn't know how cold this winter is!

The plan for now is to build the house first, at least people can’t freeze to death, there are only a few old people in the family, and the children are a little bit, so we can’t live in a warm house by ourselves, let the old people and children freeze ?

And it's summer, and when it rains, he's always worried that those houses will collapse!

"Ah?" Butler Li Zhong thought he heard it wrong!

"It doesn't have to be built like Zhuangzi, as long as it is built in four rows of houses, um, the kind of courtyard house, at least not too cold in winter, and don't let the children and the elderly freeze." Li Jiyang pulled him and explained: "The main thing is not There will be rain and wind."

"Did someone tell you something?" Butler Li Zhong frowned: "You must think about it, this is a matter of money."

And nothing in return!

It's just changing a better place for the servants, that's all!

"No, I just think that those earthen houses need to be repaired every one or two years. The repair time is not short, and they are easy to collapse. It's not suitable!" From his tone, he could tell that he was not willing to build houses for his servants, and thought it was unnecessary.

Li Jiyang had no choice but to let him realize that he did this for the sake of Lijiazhuang, because he didn't want to spend more time maintaining the house, which would save a lot of time for house maintenance every year!

In fact, these houses are repaired every year, but the house in Lijiazhuang is good, and it is repaired every three to five years, while those earthen houses have to plaster the walls every year, and repair the roof every other year. A lot of time wasted and manpower wasted.

"That's true." Although the house repairs are done by the servants themselves every year, it also wastes time!

"Right?" Li Jiyang said in a persuasive manner, "And they live well, and when they have a daughter-in-law... er, women, they can have children. In the future, there will be no shortage of servants in our family!"

Thinking of this, Steward Li Zhong immediately changed his words: "Yes, this method is good!"

If you spent thirty gold pancakes, it would be appropriate if you could no longer spend money to buy people in the future!

So, during the period of keeping filial piety, even though it was summer and it rained from time to time, Butler Li Zhong still found someone to buy materials for building the house, and everyone worked together to build the house!

And Steward Li Zhong went to Xianyang City again to buy someone!

At this time, because of the change of rulers, many countries were ready to move, and small frictions continued. The Qin army had a filial piety, and felt sad and angry. He won many battles and even laid down several cities!

Now the other countries stopped immediately!

Similarly, a large number of slaves also had a source. In those places where the war was defeated, the nobles were broken down, but the common people were not harmed.

But because life is difficult, there are plenty of children and daughters.

Li Jiyang is at home, lying on the couch humming, the weather is hot, everyone does not work at noon, only get up early and stay late, but here comes the problem!

Good morning, cool, everyone works quickly.

But at night, mosquitos were buzzing. Fortunately, the windows of the house had already been covered with a layer of tulle, and there were several strands of gauze found in the gift box.

Li Jiyang didn't keep any of them, all the windows and doors were glued, especially in the child's room. The thick cloth on the door was torn off and replaced with light gauze. Grass smoked mosquitoes.

I also take a bath with wormwood, which is said to be able to get rid of diseases.

But no matter what, in this era, there is no air conditioning, no ice cubes, and no ice cream!

Li Jiyang rolled around on the couch, wearing a racerback vest and big pants, after thinking for a while, he got up, went out and shouted: "Chunya! Chunya!"

"Master! Master!" Chunya appeared from nowhere.

"Find someone who can weave straw sandals!" Li Jiyang sat cross-legged at the door with his feet in his hands, and he kept yelling when it was hot outside.

"Master, the younger one and Li An can both make up." Li Ping and Li An were enjoying the shade under the mulberry tree in the yard, and stood up when they heard it.
