In the following days, Zhao Si kept jumping up and down Shanyang, wearing golden armor and leading more than a hundred cavalry all day long to help the people build earthen stoves and teach them how to make crude coal.
It's really rough, just wash it with water.
In order to spread it to thousands of households, we must strive to be simple and convenient, without consuming additional production raw materials or a lot of labor.
The local people in Shanyang were very afraid of Zhao Si at first, but they couldn't resist Zhao Si's help in repairing the stove.
The most important thing is that although this golden-armored general looks bluffing, he is really a good person. He is never rude and he is pleasant when talking to others. The only thing is that this golden-armored general does not eat ordinary food.
It's not that Zhao Si didn't have a healthy body after eating glutinous vegetables, but recently, as he cooked vegetables and ate with the First Emperor on a daily basis, his mouth became more and more delicate, and his stomach became more delicate. Zhao Si collapsed after eating a trip to the farmhouse.
It's not that the people were unwilling to receive Zhao Si. They had already brought out their treasured miso paste and even meat strips and grains to reward Zhao Si.
Zhao Si himself doesn’t want to be separated from the masses. His body is like this. It always takes a day or two to adapt. It’s just a day or two of bloating in the stomach and it will be fine. With the aura of raw jade around him, except for farting, it smells a little bit more. There's no risk of a bad stomach.
Let's put it this way, Zhao Si is the first beneficiary of the raw jade halo. Even if he eats roundworm eggs, the parasites will not grow in his stomach.
The main reason was that it harmed the First Emperor. After asking the reason clearly, the First Emperor immediately ordered two cooks to be assigned to Zhao Si to accompany Zhao Si for a walk.
In order to prevent this kid from always farting on himself when he and I are in the same car frame.
"Hey...this can be regarded as Huo Qubing's treatment!"
When Huo Qubing went on an expedition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was worried that Huo Qubing would not be able to eat well, so he specially assigned two palace cooks to Huo Qubing. Zhao Si came out to give instructions and omitted the reason. The first emperor also assigned two palace cooks to Zhao Si. That's pretty much it.
Zhao Si wiped his sweat and looked at the busy people. Today, he once again publicized the standards for the use of Shi Nie, coal washing techniques and the construction of earthen stoves in a village.
Such busy days make Zhao Si feel fulfilled.
Zhao Si actually didn't do much. Although Shanyang didn't have many people, the land was vast and the population was relatively scattered. He led a hundred knights for a few days to set an example, making local villagers Zhenghe and officials more... Paying attention to these things is not a wasted effort.
Moreover, there is the pleasure of following the First Emperor, and there is also the pleasure of personally experiencing the customs and customs of the lower level of the Qin Dynasty.
People fear the government as much as they fear tigers, but what they fear essentially is corporal punishment.
The laws of Qin were famous for their manyness and their severity, which made them fearful.
Qin's rule of law emphasizes the principle of severity, and implicated punishments are very common.
"When formulating laws, we must take into account the simple emotions of the people!" Zhao Si sighed and felt that there was a long way to go.
The Qin State has many laws. Zhao Si believes that this is not a wrong thing, but a manifestation of the legal system.
However, the law mainly focuses on corporal punishment and is often linked to others. When combined as a whole, it seems too harsh. Not to mention that nobles also enjoy immunity from the law. In essence, Qin Law regulates the three, six or nine levels of people by law. .
Zhao Si thinks this is inappropriate.
If I had to describe it, Qin's laws felt like Professor Yang's electrotherapy center to Zhao Si. The oppression was too heavy and there was too little humanity, so evil naturally breeds within it.
What Zhao Si wanted was to implement those complicated laws. Zhao Si was in favor of using laws to restrain people's behavior and regulate social customs.
Just as Zhao Si proposed, standardizing the method of using Shi Nie and stipulating that hot water must be drunk in places with a lot of miasma is good for the people.
What does Zhao Si want to do? If I have to say it, I just want to turn the oppression of the complicated Qin law into the advice of parents to their children.
If you are disobedient, you will be beaten if you deserve it, and you will be punished if you deserve it.
The bottom line has been touched. Let them know the pain and that such things should never be done.
"General, can I touch your armor?" When Zhao Si was thinking with his eyebrows lowered, a little kid with a red face and frostbite on his hands ran up to Zhao Si.
"Touch!" Zhao Si smiled and rubbed the child's head.
The little guy's face was full of joy when he touched Zhao Si's golden armor. Boys are born with a love for such coquettish and majestic things.
This little guy obviously likes swords and armors. He also made a simple straw armor made of thatch. The shape unexpectedly looks pretty good.
If Zhao Si had this skill when he was a child, he would have been the most handsome boy in the whole country.
"Do you like it?" Zhao Si asked softly.
"I like it!" the little guy replied without hesitation.
Then he was silent for a moment, staring at the simple grass armor on his body, pondering for a long time, then raised his head and said with a silly smile: "General, your armor is not as good-looking as mine."
Zhao Si couldn't hold back immediately. For him, the person involved, it was difficult for him to endure this kind of cross-era gag.
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Si laughed and spread his arms. It took a long time to stop smiling and squat down.
"In the future, do you want to be a soldier?"
"I don't want to!" The little guy shook his head like a rattle.
"I'm not stupid. I said I only serve once a year, but over the years I've only seen those who left and never came back. My father said that only a fool would think of enlisting in the military."
Shanyang is the old place of Zhao State, near Yanmen Pass, not too far from the Xiongnu, so conscription is also more frequent here.
"Hurry, Da Qin has won, and they will be back soon." Zhao Si smiled.
Zhao Si has done a lot of trivial things, but they are only trivial things. A dynasty like Da Qin, which is at the intersection of the old and the new, will still need a long period of transformation.
After staring at the village for a long time, Zhao Si took a look at the rare clear sky with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"It's time to go..."
In fact, the official road had been opened a few days ago, but the First Emperor said he wanted to inspect the border situation here, so he stayed for a few more days.
But Zhao Si also knew that the First Emperor did not want to inspect the border situation, but actually set aside time for himself to practice at the grassroots level.
Let the entire convoy of more than 10,000 people stay for a few more days.
Zhao Si's merits and deeds are now considered complete. The Shanyang area has fulfilled Zhao Si's expectations. All he needs to do next is to implement it step by step.
A person should be self-aware. The First Emperor could stay here for a few more days to give himself enough food and face. He couldn't spend another New Year here with him, right?
After Zhao Si left, the expedition started on the same day.
Although he didn't say it, it once again verified the idea that the reason why the First Emperor did not set off was just to wait for Zhao Si.
Next, the weather started to get colder.
When the First Emperor was marching, Zhao Si would take his soldiers out for a walk from time to time to check whether the local government restricted the people's use of stone nirvana in accordance with regulations. At the same time, he also popularized some tips for the people and did some meaningful things within his ability.
He drove south along the northern land of Zhao State and went straight to the old land of Qi State.
Within two days of leaving, the New Year arrived.
The New Year is celebrated on the first day of October. It sounds abstract, but it is a fact in Qin State.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, various vassal states were established one after another, so many calendars were produced, such as the Huangdi calendar, the Zhuanxu calendar, the Xia calendar, the Yin calendar, the Zhou calendar, the Lu calendar, etc. These calendars have different calculation methods, so the calculation methods of each calendar are different. The beginning of the year is not the same either.
The Zhuanxu calendar of the Qin Dynasty used the nineteen-year seven-leap method, and the first return year was 365 and 1/4. At the same time, the calendar was based on Jianhai, that is, the month of Hai was used as the beginning of the year, which is October, so the first day of October It is the New Year of Qin.
After Qin unified the world, the First Emperor thought that Zhou had the virtue of fire, and that Zhou's virtue in the Qin Dynasty was invincible. The beginning of Shui De, the beginning of the new year, and the greetings are all from the first day of October.
As for celebrating the New Year on the first day of the first lunar month, that happened after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty revised the Han calendar.
But no matter what day the New Year falls, this day is very important as the beginning of the year.
All greetings come from the first day of October.
The word "Chaohe" can explain everything.
On this day, the First Emperor specially stopped driving and hosted a banquet for the ministers in the palace. He also invited local nobles, officials and people to congratulate him for the first time.
The process is different from that of later generations, but the meaning is the same. People put aside the gloom of the old year and are full of expectations for the new year. They say blessings to each other and crackle firecrackers.
Of course, it's not firecrackers. In this era, firecrackers are simply bamboos.
It is nothing more than a stipulation that the bonfire needs to be lit with bamboo, so that it will crackle when burned. It is not to drive away the Nian beast. According to Li Si, it is to get rid of the bad luck of the year and bring better luck in the coming year.
Because it is a great day to congratulate the emperor, there are not so many rules. Even every official can toast the First Emperor with a glass of wine.
Of course, the person who is toasting drinks, and the First Emperor does not need to drink, but it is still a privilege. After all, there are only a few opportunities to get close to the First Emperor throughout the year. No one can say that this time the First Emperor will remember it?
One by one, officials came to the First Emperor and said blessings and toasts.
Zhao Si also followed the trend, and it was his turn to give the First Emperor a blowjob directly.
Zhao Si would probably not be able to copy poems and songs, but there would be no problem in copying some auspicious words to please him.
I saw Zhao Si bowing and raising the wine bottle: "The old year is over and the new year is coming. I sincerely wish your majesty auspicious times, auspicious days and swift winds, good years and abundant moons like the wind, increased blessings, increased joy, increased longevity, longevity, longevity, water, and longevity. .”
It was still a pleasant joke without any origin. The First Emperor was happy with Zhao Si's undisguised appearance and just waved his hand and drank the wine in the glass.
Zhao Sigang was about to turn around to make room for the next person, but saw the First Emperor waving his hand.
The meaning is already obvious.
Zhao Si chuckled, walked to the Emperor's desk and knelt down in an upright manner.
