On the outskirts of Xianyang, Chaoyangli.
He was leaning against the inner door, basking in the sun and feeling the lice on his body.
"Yo, I caught one."
He smiled, showing his black teeth, and holding a small blood-sucking insect between his raised two fingers.
Watching the insect twisting, he exerted force with his fingers, and with a "pop" sound, the insect exploded into a ball.
The prisoner inside smiled happily, hummed a Qin song, and soon found a louse from his underwear.
"My father-in-law."
The sudden call startled the inner prison door, and his hands trembled. The little bug took the opportunity to escape, jumping onto the linen clothes and disappearing.
The prisoner looked up and saw two young men standing in front of him at some point.
One of them was a thin, dark young man, wearing brown clothes and dark skin, looking at him cautiously.
The inner prison guard was wary, his eyes swept over the thin and dark young man, and then fell on the boy beside him.
Judging from his decades of experience, the person in charge of these two people should be a boy who is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
I saw that this young man was seven feet tall, with an upright appearance, no beard under his chin, and a pair of piercing eyes. He looked energetic and magnanimous just standing there.
Of course, what attracted the most attention to the prison gate was that the cloth covering the bun on the young man's head was brown.
Prove he has the title, sir!
In the Qin State, nobility is respected. Each level of nobility has its own privileges, which will naturally be reflected in the appearance. People can see the level of the nobility at a glance.
This is what Lord Shang calls "the hierarchy of nobles, nobles and nobility, and the fields and houses are named according to their differences, and the clothes of ministers and concubines are named after their families. Those who have meritorious service will be honored, while those who have no meritorious service will be rich but have no splendor."
The most common Guizhou head without a title, as the name suggests, is a bun on the head wrapped with a piece of black cloth.
After being upgraded to a first-class knight, the cloth on the head must be changed to let people know that this boy is a person with a title and should not be underestimated easily.
Of course, a mere first-class official is nothing. There are seven or eight official families in Chaoyang alone, and there are even two second-level officials.
However, when the prison gate saw the extraordinary spirit of this young man, he did not dare to look down upon him and asked hurriedly: "Who are you, and what are you doing in Chaoyang?"
The young man smiled and asked the thin and dark young man beside him to take out a few wooden boards.
"This is our test of inheritance. I would like to ask my father-in-law to review it."
The inner prison door took the word "Experience" made of poplar boards and the word "Zhuan" made of willow strips, and glanced at the words on them.
"In the internal history, in Chaoyangli, Shangyuan Township, Xianyang, his name is Zhao Tuo, Gongshijue, and he is seven feet and one inch tall."
"Xian" is the Qin people's ID card, on which is written the identity information of each Qin person, including not only their place of origin and address, but also their title and height.
The other piece of "biography" is equivalent to a letter of introduction for later generations, distributed by Qin's government affairs department. It not only contains more detailed identity information, such as stating that Zhao Tuo is "fair and fair, fifteen years old", but more importantly The reasons for the holder's trip are written on it.
Qin's law was strict, and the common people lived in the middle, with five households per group and ten households per ten, living next to each other. On weekdays, I can only cultivate the land well at home, and cannot leave the village at will, even to go to the neighboring county.
If you want to leave your hometown, you must find a travel certificate issued by Lidian (Tonglizheng, the word "zheng" was taboo during the Qin Dynasty, so it was called Lidian) in the township where your household registration is located.
If you don't have this proof and run away privately, the consequences will be very tragic if you are discovered. It is a serious crime.
Jiangyang (the crime of loitering), Lanban (the crime of escaping from the country), and Bangbang (the crime of smuggling out of the country) are specifically designed to punish this kind of behavior. If you are not careful, you may be punished as a concubine and have to be reformed for life, with no chance of turning over. .
Moreover, under this kind of law, not only the wanderer himself will be punished, but also the local officials will be jointly and severally responsible if the inspection is improper.
The "Law of Travelers" stipulates that if a traveler (lobbyist such as Zhang Yi and Su Qin) settles and stays in a certain place but is found not to be carrying a certificate issued by the government, the official in the county where he is located will be fined with a suit of armor.
If he stays for more than a year without being found out, the local officials will be reprimanded.
Under the high pressure of such laws, all parts of the Qin State conducted inspections and transmissions very carefully, and no one wanted to take responsibility. If you think about the time when Shang Jun was shut out and trapped in a cocoon, you can know how strict the Qin laws were enforced.
Zhao Tuo's inheritance was issued by Xianyang. After the assassination of Qin, the Qin court handled the matter at an extremely fast speed, held accountable those who should be held accountable, and rewarded those who should be rewarded.
Zhao Tuo was awarded a third-level knighthood and ten gold coins for his meritorious service in reporting traitors.
However, he used his two-level title to redeem Heng as a commoner, and now he only has one level of Duke.
In addition, he and Hengdu became Qin nationalities and were assigned to Chaoyangli in Shangyuan Township, Xianyang.
Zhao Tuo finally successfully settled in the Qin State, and his identity has completely integrated into this era. He no longer has to wander around and escape in the land of Yan and Zhao when he first crossed over, living a life without knowing whether to live or die.
The two biographies specifically stated that Zhao Tuo and Heng Lai were to settle here. Prior to this, notices from the countryside had been conveyed, so the prison gate knew the purpose of these two people just by looking at them.
He looked at Zhao Tuo carefully and grinned, "It turns out it's you. Wait a moment until I call Li Dian over."
"only."
Zhao Tuo responded. He had just arrived, so naturally he had to be more humble and integrate into this society as soon as possible.
What Zhao Tuo didn't expect was that the prison door here did not go in to look for anyone. Instead, he walked behind the door and found a hanging hemp rope from somewhere. When he pulled it suddenly, there was a crisp and clear sound. The bell rings.
Immediately afterwards, several children playing with bamboo horses in the alleyway started shouting happily.
"Li Dian Li Dian, someone called."
"Lidian Lidian, someone is looking for you."
When the local dogs in the courtyards of several houses near the door heard the children's calls, they also howled at the top of their throats.
Zhao Tuo blinked.
Good guy, there is such a communication system in this little Chaoyang.
After a while, an old man with a gray beard walked out of the room. He first looked at Zhao Tuo and Heng suspiciously, then took the test pass from the prison door and started reading.
"Zhao Tuo, right?"
Li Dian handed the certificate back to Zhao Tuo and said, "I have received an order from the township department before. You follow me."
"Thank you Ridori."
Zhao Tuo quickly held up his hands to thank him. Heng Heng's body on the side was slightly stiff. Seeing Zhao Tuo's wink, he reluctantly followed suit.
As a native of Zhao, he has been taught to hate the Qin people since he was a child. Now, although he has slowly accepted the fact that Qin will annex the world under Zhao Tuo's brainwashing, and is willing to put aside his hatred and live a good life, but It was still difficult to adapt for a while.
Li Dian saw that Zhao Tuo had extraordinary bearing, and he was holding a talisman personally issued by Xianyang. He knew that the other party had an unusual identity, so he did not dare to delay. He quickly led Zhao Tuo into the depths of the house and pointed at a mansion. : "This house was originally owned by an official in the village. It was confiscated for violating the law. Now it is yours."
"only."
Zhao Tuo looked at the house in front of him, his first home after coming to this era.
I, Zhao Tuo, also have a family.
