Chapter 41: Flowing Water

Thank you for the book friend True Me 2010, the evening breeze is leisurely, and the grass is clear.

Xie Lu Xie claw Talon's evaluation vote, in addition, I decided to eat ^_^ your reminder ticket

There's another chapter to come.

……

Xiao He didn't get too much explanation and narration, and what he did in this era with the sentence "I want to make you a friend" is the best commentary. Although he didn't understand the value of being befriended, it was not a bad thing to have multiple friends when he was away from home, especially when faced with difficulties.

Xiao He, who served as a county magistrate in Pei County, usually did not have a lot of contact and coordination, what did this official position of county magistrate do in Qin Shi? In fact, it is to manage some positions in the county regarding taxation, arranging forced labor, and collecting official rations, so it will inevitably require a certain amount of computing power and layout ability.

And what is the so-called co-ordination? In fact, it means to calculate and lay out the whole picture. At this time, there was no masterpiece of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and people calculated things according to some of the circulating scriptures of Wang Xu's "Guiguzi".

There are very few people who know how to calculate today, which is also very valuable. A person who can calculate and know how to control the layout, give him a little chance and opportunity, and it is not difficult to get a half-official position.

Compared with the previous busyness, Lu Zhe, who has Xiao He's help, is much easier, at least he doesn't have to take care of Minyu's food and drink every day, and he doesn't have to spend energy to calculate the workload.

They were given the task of repairing the walls, which was not as simple as it was literally understood.

In ancient times, the city wall was four or five battles at every turn, that is, about six meters, which was only the height of the city wall of the county seat. If it is the capital of a county, the height of the wall must not be less than 10 meters, and the width must be 4 meters.

Lu Zhe stood under the city wall and measured with his eyesight, the height of the city wall of Yangzhou City was about seven meters, and the city wall was not a brick wall but a structure of earth as seen by later generations. He reached out and touched the city wall, and the feeling in his hand was no different from the ordinary touch of earth, but when he dug it, he felt the difficulty, and even found traces of straw when he pulled away some of the dirt slightly.

In fact, it is difficult to understand how to ensure the hardness of a dirt wall, but from the perspective of the construction of the straight road, Lu Zhe must have a process in the process of building the city wall that modern people do not understand.

"This wall has been softened, and the order of the 'Yang Zhou Order' is that it needs to be reinforced on the perimeter. The county lieutenant also said that the city wall needed to be increased by three feet. ”

In the Qin period, large counties with a population of more than 10,000 households were called county orders, and the usual name was the name of the place plus the word 'order'. For example, if Pei County is a medium county, it is not called 'Pei County Order', but should be called 'Pei County Magistrate'.

Lu Zhe said with an inexplicable weirdness.

Reinforcing and raising the city wall is something that every county town will do if it has the conditions in ancient times, but with his small historical memory, Qin Wangzheng said that the emperor issued an order not long after, and that order was to demolish the city wall in the territory!

There is no mistake in memory, but the order of the first emperor is to move the rich and wealthy nobles of the original six countries to Guanzhong and Bashu, dismantle the original city wall between the six countries, and dredge the moat. As for whether the original territory of the Qin State received an order to demolish the city walls, this point cannot be examined.

Judging from the few memories in Lu Zhe's mind, the idea of the First Emperor was to keep the enemy out of the country forever, and there was no need for defense facilities within the territory of the empire, and even some checkpoints (including Hangu Pass) were demolished one by one.

"The Great Wall Army was established to fend off the Hu people in the north, and the Southern Xinjiang Army was established to eliminate the threatening Southern Barbarians. It seems that the First Emperor also gave an order before his death, the two major legions can only deal with the barbarians outside, and cannot be transferred inside? I wonder if this is true?! Lu Zhe was a little stunned, "I have to say that this master is very confident in the rule within the empire." Who would have thought that a mighty empire would be destroyed by an internal rebellion......"

When Xiao He came, he heard the second half of the sentence of the soft sigh, and he stopped his action to speak out in an instant, and stared at Lu Zhe who was still stunned with a kind of fear and incredulity.

Great Qin's unification of Shenzhou was not long, and Xiao He, who had been in Chu for a long time, was a well-informed and wise man in this era. It may be that he can't observe much due to the limitations of his status, but he clearly knows that the Dao Chu people are not suitable for Qin Fa.

In Xiao He's view, the so-called inadaptability actually exists for law enforcement, that is to say, the Qin people only make it difficult for the Chu people to enforce the law. As a county magistrate, he knew that the Qin Law was aimed at everyone, but the Chu people, who were used to living a casual life, didn't think so.

At the beginning of unification, a considerable part of the Chu people actually had a good impression of the Qin law, and no privileged class could escape due punishment under the strict enforcement of the Qin law. During the old Chu period, the behavior of the powerful people to oppress the people at will was almost eliminated, and the people who saw the solemnity of the law for the first time felt sincere joy for the powerful who could no longer do evil.

Xiao He, who was in the ruling position, remembered very clearly that some of the powerful people who had been punished trembled and did not dare to cause trouble again, but this was not the end, but the beginning of danger.

The nobles who originally had privileges in the old Chu lost the right to play with the law, and they became dissatisfied after losing the privilege of trampling on the people and embezzling interests, and almost all of them were spreading some rumors very regularly, such as gossip that the Qin people only targeted the Chu people.

The people of Chudi, who have lived in a casual living environment for generations, and are not accustomed to Qin law, have indeed been punished a lot, rumors are rumors, but when there are more people who say it, they see too much, it is not a fact, but it is also a fact.

Under the colored glasses of the local complex, the people who originally thought that Qin Law was good began to waver, and the people who didn't believe it at first were gradually guided, and everything began to turn sour.

Xiao He is a county magistrate, he will inevitably seek his position in his position, and after discovering this reason, he specially reminded the county magistrate, but unfortunately he was not taken seriously.

After fulfilling his responsibilities and being a Chu person, Xiao He no longer paid attention to similar things, and then he heard the sentence "The empire was destroyed by internal rebellion" caused him to think in his heart.

When Lu Zhe turned around and saw Xiao with a stunned face, he felt strange: "Xiao Duji? ”

Governor is not an official position, it is Xiao He's current job.

Xiao He is still the long-sleeved Confucian with long blue clothes, and he looks very elegant and elegant when he walks the etiquette: "The grain has been supervised into Jane, with a total of one hundred and twenty stones." Among them, there are 50 stones of soybeans, 60 stones of black beans, and 10 stones of corn. Twenty chisels, thirty hooks, ......"

The series of types seems to be very complicated, at least some things don't know what they are just by listening to the name.

"Ten stone of corn?" Lu Zhe unconsciously developed a movement of touching his chin when thinking: "This is a delicious ......"

"Indeed." Xiao He knows more: "According to the 'official etiquette', these ten stones of corn are ......"

It's strange, Lu Zhe doesn't understand what Xiao He is like, he always likes to talk halfway and drag an old long tail note, which is simply full of imagination. However, he knew that corn was a freely arranged food, and it belonged to the officials and not to the people.

After expressing his understanding, Lu Zhe took Xiao He to the city wall.

Standing on a high place and looking out, the north of the empire is still covered with silver, so it is just to make preparations for summoning the people now, otherwise it will not only aggravate the difficulty of engineering operations in the cold weather, but even cause a lot of unnecessary casualties.

"This is the lot we are responsible for." Lu Zhe raised his hand and stroked the posture: "The length is eight hundred meters......

Xiao He habitually interrupted and asked: "What is this 'rice'?" ”

Lu Zhe patted his forehead: "This meter is three feet." ”

Xiao He bowed his head if he had something to do: "It turns out that there is still this kind of counting?" "I don't know what it is, but I think it's amazing.

"At this time, it is strange that there is such a measure as 'rice'." After complaining in his heart, Lu Zhe made a new gesture: "The city wall of these sixty-seven battles? Saying that, he glanced at Xiao He, who showed an expression that finally understood, and continued, "It is distributed with five hundred labor, I mean like this......"

Xiao He kept hearing new words, he thought about it very hard, and sometimes asked, waiting for Lu Zhe to finish speaking, he was quiet for a few minutes to sort out his thoughts, and this was a complete understanding.

“…… This brings out the best in manpower. What do you think? After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he realized that Xiao He was already stunned, and he hesitated: "Do you need me to explain or add?" ”

Xiao He waved his hand: "Wait a minute, wait a moment." ”

Lu Zhe knew the difficulty of communication, but there were many words that he couldn't express clearly in ancient Chinese, so he had to do this.

After a long time, Xiao He, who seemed to have used a lot of effort, already had sweat on his forehead.

You can still sweat in this weather, which shows how serious the damage to the brain is?

"I already understand what the tun chief means, it's just ......" he wiped it with his long sleeve: "Is it really okay for the tun chief to do it?" ”

Lu Zhe smiled confidently: "Of course you can!" ”

Xiao He hesitated for a long time, and after thinking about it, it was not him who was responsible anyway, since Lu Zhe had already decided, he would not say more.

In the next few days, Lu Zhe led people to continue to cut wood, and he finally saw the types of tools in the Qin period, some of which he had never seen at all in later generations.

The so-called 'chisel' is actually a pointed square cone tool, which is very suitable for dealing with nail rot. Other types of tools such as chisels, hooks and other tools also have their corresponding uses, and they are extremely targeted.

Standing in the distance and watching Minyu skillfully use tools to cut down the trees, and then carry them away, the people with the bronze sickles will remove the branches and leaves, and wait for the branches to be sawed and divided by different people, and finally nailed into wooden planks, all of which are clearly a set of assembly line division of labor and cooperation.

This kind of work is definitely not from Lu Zhe's handwriting, in fact, the Qin people are very suitable for the division of labor and cooperation, they have their own understanding of labor, so that others look at it with an inexplicable water-like beauty.

"Just make a little plank and ...... like that" Lu Zhe was fascinated: "If I have the opportunity to see the so-called 'Shang Zaofang', what kind of scene should it be?" ”

What is Shang Zaofang? Let's talk about it later......
