Qin Official

Qin Shihuang tried to unify the world culturally and institutionally in the shortest possible time, but this was a more difficult task than military unification. Perhaps as Laozi said, governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies, cooked slowly and carefully.

The road ahead is long, the chariot is speeding, and the helmsman has no intention of slowing down, but the people on the car really want to slow down.

In addition to Heifu, other officials, including Prince Fusu, Changyou, Mo Zhe, Huang Lao, and even Confucianists, all used different methods to remonstrate, but to no avail. It was impossible to get the emperor to brake and slow down. Fortunately, Heifu knew that although the road was bumpy, there was no danger of a car crash or death. The abyss that plunged all living beings into misery would still be ten years later.

All conflicts are buried today, and there will be another big explosion after Zulong's death.

"There's still time..." After asking his servants to take Chen Ping to the guest room to rest, Heifu stood on the corridor with his hands behind his hands and thought as he looked at the wind and snow outside.

He rose up with the tide of the times, but he has already gone too far within the system. He is no longer just a pedestrian watching the excitement on the side of the road, and he cannot sit back and watch the thirty million souls attached to this car go through the fire without being affected. So, before that, try to see if you can use things from later generations to reinforce the carriage so that it can adapt to this speed, or try to rein in the horse before it reaches the abyss...

"Ten years. Before that, can I touch the six bridle reins that are firmly in His Majesty's hands and cannot be interfered with by others?"

Do your best, if you can't change your fate...

Make other plans!

That is a matter of the future. The current black husband is just a "new rich" who seems to be not far from the center of power, but is actually out of reach.

He still had to plan his wedding, entertain guests, and prepare a welcoming team.

…

Among the guests invited by Hei Fu, Chen Ping was the first to arrive, while his family and the old Nanjun troops arrived in Xianyang the next day...

The only family members of Heifu's family are his cousin Yan, who sells brown sugar, his younger brother Jing and his nephew Yang. His mother is old and became ill after autumn. In addition, the wedding was held in the twelfth lunar month, when the sky was full of wind and snow, and the journey was difficult. It's so far away that it may be difficult to make the trip.

Even though Heifu asked the Mohists and craftsmen to help design a four-wheeled carriage and sent one to Anlu, no matter how stable the carriage was, it would not matter if the road was not good. At this time, Heifu hoped that the "Chidao" ordered by the emperor to be built next year would be completed as soon as possible. Nowadays, the roads in Wuguan and Nanjun are narrow and muddy. If the elderly go to Xianyang, half of their lives will be lost. They can only regretfully stay at home and take care of them with their uncle and sister-in-law.

"My mother was very sad."

Jing came up first to pay homage to his brother and sighed: "Before I left home, she walked me to the door and kept holding my hand, nagging that I was sorry for Brother Zhong, but she was a little lucky..."

"What are you thankful for?" Heifu was very surprised.

Jing approached Hei Fu and said in a low voice: "My mother feels that for eight generations my ancestors have been common people in Guizhou, living in a small family with no family connections, no etiquette, and no even a family name. But now they are different from the official family history, The Nanyang family is getting married. She is afraid that when she comes to Xianyang, she will do something wrong or say the wrong thing, causing Brother Zhong to lose face..."

"How could mother think so."

Hei Fu was speechless. Not only his mother, but also looked a little embarrassed after arriving in the imperial capital. He could not hide his inferiority complex in his movements.

Indeed, from Jing Jing's point of view, his family could at best be on par with the rich and powerful in the county, but to marry into the Ye family, a wealthy Nanyang family with two thousand stones, was really a bit vain. Heifu was promoted too fast and climbed too high. His family could not keep up with his pace and they always felt that they were too cold at high places.

This mentality is not okay.

Heifu then straightened his face and lectured his younger brother: "My right concubine's title did not fall from the sky. It was earned by fighting with swords, making suggestions and making contributions to the country. Your Majesty thinks I can bear it." , who dares to say that it is not true at all? As for this marriage, it was the old general Wang Jian who acted as matchmaker for me, and the internal history officer happily agreed, willing to devote himself to me as his only daughter!"

In fact, most of Neishiteng's clan members and his second wife were opposed to it, but after thinking about it for a long time, Neishiteng said: "When choosing a son-in-law for your daughter, should you choose a family and family? Choose money? Choose talents?"

Most people consider the first two items more, but Nei Shiteng believes that family background is determined before birth and has nothing to do with personal efforts. And money is an external thing, and whether it is gained or lost is insignificant.

Talent alone is a person's unique trait and the thing he values ​​most!

"Hei Fu is the most talented young man I have seen in the seven or eight years I have been the county guard in Nan County. I knew at that time that he was by no means mediocre. Sure enough, now that he is in the court, he has repeatedly made brilliant suggestions, and His Majesty also praised him for his outstanding achievements. Plus, at a young age, you can become the eldest son of the right concubine and have a prominent position. With time, why worry about the failure of your family and the lack of money?"

So, after consulting his daughter and seeing that she had no objection, Nestern agreed to the marriage. But this old fox was also a thief, and he deliberately spread what he said, making the black man even thank him.

"My brother, do you know what a review is?"

Of course Jing knew that the official meritorious deeds of the Qin Dynasty were based on the merits of the Qin officials. It was to "record the merits of beheadings on a one-foot board and write down the counties and counties in a foot-long book", and then reward them according to their merits. Each Qin Dynasty civil servant, including Surprisingly, there is such a review.

Those whose title rose to the level of Zuo Shu Zhang or above could even carve the family seal on a wooden pillar that resembled a Chinese watch and set it up on both sides of the home to indicate family status. The pillar on the left is "valves" and the right is "yue". This is the "family valve yue", which will be shortened to "menva" in later generations.

In the Qin Dynasty, "family" was the name for the military aristocrats of Guanxi. The aristocrats of Guandong had no great achievements in Qin. It doesn't matter whether you have been passed down for dozens of generations or hundreds of years, or whether you are descendants of Emperor Gaoyang's Miao or some ancient wise king. Future generations should not consider themselves a member of the family.

This is also what Heifu likes most about Qin Zhi.

Heifu asked Jing to follow him to the main entrance of the mansion. There were also two pillars on the left and one on the right. Because they had just been built, they were covered with cloth.

He pulled off the cloth with his own hands, only to see that it was covered with seal characters and painted with pen and ink, which was particularly eye-catching!

The palace built in front of Heifu's mansion has only a short history of six or seven years, but it is very prominent. Not to mention those small things like being a director and catching thieves, from Qin Shihuang's breakout in Dongyang in the 24th year of the Qin Dynasty, to the second attack on Chu to capture Xiang Yan's military flag, to the expansion of thousands of miles of land in the south of the Yangtze River for the empire, the construction of Nanchang City, and finally the recent In making "Heifu paper", every credit is written clearly!

Anyone who questions will be speechless in the face of these comments.

It’s true that I’m a nouveau riche, but every step I take is done with integrity and can stand up to scrutiny! It is not comparable to Wei Choufu, a minister who is lucky enough to advance.

Of course, Heif specifically asked the craftsmen not to give up on winning awards for building public toilets. According to him, the small credit is not worth mentioning...

At this moment, Heifu pointed at the gorgeous gate in front of the door, letting Jingjing see it from beginning to end.

"Brother, now do you think my family is worthy of this marriage?"

He bowed in shock and said: "It's worthy of me, but I'm just confused."

"As long as you understand." Hei Fu patted his shoulder and said, "So, when I married Ye's daughter, I thought it was not because I wanted to marry someone high, but because I am a good match!"

"You are my brother. You should always be by my side when welcoming relatives and guests. When the time comes, you must hold your head high and be neither humble nor arrogant. If you show timidity, you will be laughed at. Can you do it?"

"Di Neng!"

Jing was no longer the young man in the setting sun. He studied in the school for three years, and then went south with Heifu to manage the gold mines, and gained a lot of knowledge. After being taught a lesson by Heifu, he cheered up. He was proud of his brother's achievements. As long as he thought of them, he could drive away his inferiority complex from his heart.

Jing also said a joke to lighten the mood:

"It's too late for Brother Zhong to get married. My wife, Yan, is pregnant. How will we calculate the seniority of our children in the future?"

"You little boy."

Heifu was so happy that he raised his legs and kicked his butt. At the same time, he said: "Since mother can't come, after the wedding, I will ask for leave from your majesty and take my bride back to Anlu to meet her..."

At this time, the old Nanjun troops behind him unloaded the gifts from the car and also stepped forward to pay homage to Hei Fu.

There was Zhao Tuo, a false captain from Jiujiang County who drank chicken blood and became sworn sworn friends with Hei Fu, and Ji Ying, a postal officer from Nanchang County.

Most of Heifu's old subordinates served as lieutenants and prime ministers in various counties in Jiangxi and were not allowed to leave their posts without permission. Only Ji Ying, as a postal officer, could move around frequently and came to Xianyang on the pretext of delivering official documents. Zhao Tuo was about to be transferred to another place to take up his post, and he went to Xianyang to wait for orders, just in time to catch up with his brother's marriage.

As for Li Xian, Xiao Tao, and Dongmen Bao, they can only send congratulatory gifts on their behalf.

Before Hei Fu could help the two of them up and reminisce with them, he saw a young samurai walking out of the motorcade, carrying a sword on his back, squirming, as if he was a little afraid to see Hei Fu...

Heifu was greatly surprised, because that was Gong Ao who was supposed to be a county captain in Nanchang and could not appear here!

"Ao!"

Hei Fu ignored the pleasantries and walked over, asking in a low voice: "Why are you here!?"

Gong Ao also risked his life and said matter-of-factly: "Your concubine is getting married. As an old minister, how can I not come?"

Heifu noticed that Gong Ao was wearing ordinary clothes and did not wear any seals.

He suddenly shuddered, this guy couldn't have gone without permission!

Heifu's old subordinates are different. Li Xian has pledged allegiance to him and often exchanges letters, reporting on what happened in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiao Tao is steady, while Dongmen Bao, although reckless, values ​​the titles he earns.

Only Gong Ao, whose personality is too emotional and impulsive, is really likely to do such a thing!

Seeing that Hei Fu's face was not angry, Ji Ying hurriedly came over to smooth things over and explained for Gong Ao: "Commander You, please calm down. The thing is, Gong Ao is no longer the false captain of Nanchang County!"

"That's right!"

Gong Ao raised his head and said loudly: "Commander You, I resign!"
