"Master Park, aren't you afraid of your wife?" A helper made a guess with a smile.

Park Feng was afraid of others and told him a word, unable to get over the face, and defended him: "Don't talk nonsense, nothing is there? My wife is good to me, the rice is good and the bed is warm. Do you have such a good wife?"

The more you miss it, the more he makes the darker he makes. The more he makes the excuse, the more he proves that he has something wrong with fear. Zhou Chong held back his smile and said, "Master Park doesn't like this, let's change it. My poems are indeed not a good place. You are all families and don't care about this."

Park Fengru was very grateful for the amnesty, but for the sake of face, he said, "That's right, they are all people with family members, and they still have that mood. Don't think about what kind of wealth they are, and they are not rewarded for meritorious service."

The Qin State's law is clear in rewards and punishments, especially military merits. If you have any merits, you will be punished. Without exception, even royal nobles have to rely on themselves to gain fame. In order to meet the needs of heroes and fight for each other, Qin State rewards military merits quite generously, and of course, the punishment is also heavy. As long as you make military merits, you can live a life of a superior person, which is a few higher than those without merit. This is what Park Feng said when he made merits and received rewards.

The common people have a common characteristic: be content with their duties! This rule is not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. As long as life is acceptable, it is enough, and there is no excessive requirement. These helpers are the people who are responsible and are very clear about their wealth and said, "That's true. Master Zhou, what songs are singing?"

Zhou Chong thought for a while and said, "Let's sing "Si-Yu". Come, you sing with me. Si-Yu Kongfu, with six reins in hand. The prince's charming son follows the prince and the hour, Chen-Yu, Kong-Shu. The prince said he left and got it. He traveled to the north garden. When the four horses were idle, he rode the carriage and phoenix ways, and he carried the pride to stop arrogance."

This is "The Book of Songs; Qin Feng; Si Yu", which is still a folk song of Qin. Zhou Chong thought that they should be able to sing it, but unexpectedly, it was the first time that Park Feng and the others heard it, and it became his solo.

After singing, the helper applauded and said, "It sounds nice, it seems that some rich man is hunting."

After hearing this, Zhou Chong was really confused and thought to himself that this was the grand occasion of the nobles of Qin going out to hunt. Why don’t you know? Explain to them: “The song says that the nobles of Qin took servants, flying eagles and dogs, and trusted people, went out to hunt with light chariots. His men rushed over the fat prey and let them hunt. The nobleman hid his arrows well and he would hit every shot, and he would get a lot of harvest.”

"It's the nobles of the Great Qin State, no wonder they are so grand." The helpers felt respectful from nature and said proudly: "If you don't say anything else, the people of our Great Qin State are better than those of Dongshan, and even hunting is so good."

Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, Qin was very weak at first, but it only began to become stronger after Shang Yang's reforms. In the battle with the heroes, they became stronger and stronger, while the six Shandong countries became weaker and weaker, and even when they heard the name of Qin, they were brave enough to be brave. This may be a bit exaggerated, but it is certain that the people of Qin were very proud that their country was stronger than the six Shandong countries.

In Chinese history books, Qin State said it was a country of tigers and wolves because Qin State used its first-level military merits and was also called the "country of first-level merits". Historians and Confucian scholars often derogatory words about Qin State, and rarely praised it, and even praise it was very conservative. Zhou Chong read many historical books, and was influenced by historians. He thought that the people of Qin State should not have much favoritism for being a Qin person, but he did not expect that Pu Feng and others were proud of it. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly remembered a truth: Who is not proud of his country's strength?

"You just look down on Shandong people like this?" Zhou Chong became interested and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about their psychology.

Park Feng wiped his mouth and said, "It's not that we look down on them, but that our own actions make us look down on us. People, if we want people to look down on others, there must be something that makes people look down on us. They beat our Qin army on the battlefield and were frightened by the news. Even their prime minister Mengchangjun was scared by our king and fled back to Qi with some robbery."

The word "rooster crowing and dog robbery" is well known to us in modern times. The reason is that Mengchangjun Tian Wen. During the reign of King Zhao of Qin, exchanges between prime ministers were popular among princes, that is, prime ministers from one country went to another country to become prime ministers and exchanged them with each other. King Zhao of Qin heard that Mengchangjun was very talented and a great sage, so he wrote to King Qi to exchange prime ministers with Qi. Qin was strong and Qi was weak, so Qi was afraid, so the King of Qi had to agree. Mengchangjun had no choice but to arrive.

Qin State was scared and wanted to escape, but he had no chance. He had to use a dog thief to sneak into the palace of Qin State, steal a very beautiful robe from King Zhao of Qin, and give it to King Zhao of Qin, before he could speak good things to him, and he had the chance to leave Qin State. When Hangu Pass arrived, the city gate was locked and could not go out. A guest of his throat was sharp and he learned to crow the chicken. According to Qin State's laws, the chicken crowed and opened the door. Hangu Pass closed the door, and he fled back to Qi State.

After Mengchangjun returned, he was filled with emotion and said that there were so many visitors, but there were not a few people who could help him. Instead, the robbers and dogs were used to make great use, and he was proud. In fact, his behavior only used two words to describe "misfortune". This incident was widely circulated in Qin and became a joke for the people.

"What's wrong with this? It's a good thing for people to escape danger and solve problems in a hurry." Zhou Chong did not agree with Pu Feng's words.

Pu Feng raised his head and said proudly: "Master Zhou, you must know that if these lowly embryos who were robbed by chickens and dogs were already imprisoned in our Great Qin Kingdom, they would not have been free and easy, and they were still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they were also treated as guests of honor for the Prime Minister. The reason why Shandong's country is weak is that their laws are not implemented, and the upper beams are not upright and the lower beams are crooked. Our Great Qin Kingdom is different. Whether it is a king or a prince, as long as he violates the law, he will be imprisoned."

Historians accused Qin of "deeply statutory officials". In fact, Qin's laws are quite complete, and everything "has a law to follow". In our current words, "there is a law to follow, and violations will be punished." This is actually a good thing, but it is a pity to blame the historians!

King Huiwen of Qin broke the law when he was the crown prince. Shang Yang asked his teacher to be punished on his behalf. Zhou Chong knew that Pu Feng's words were not an exaggeration. He asked, "You are not allowed to speak, do you agree?"

The Qin State's law implements joint position and mutual monitoring, so to the point of "the road is aimed at", the historical records are well recorded. Pu Feng shook his head and said, "It's okay all day long, just kowtow, spreading right and wrong, and keeping in prison, so as to avoid gossip. As long as we talk about serious things, we are not afraid."

"If you want to live a good life, you have to make money by yourself, not by just talking it out loud. If you don't want to farm, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I have no life, so just farm well." The helper agreed with Park Feng's statement very much.

Zhou Chong remembered the historical records that "the Qin people are pleased by the laws of Shang monarchs", and had to sigh that history books were misleading people. If he had not heard this with his own ears, he would have really not believed in the harsh laws that the people of Qin like to criticize later generations so much. (Note: Shang Yang's laws have advantages and disadvantages, it depends only on which aspect to look at the problem. Personal opinion, friends do not need to take it seriously.)

The words of Park Feng and the others were far from Zhou Chong's imagination. Zhou Chong's curiosity aroused and he wanted to have a good chat with them. Zeng Yao walked in and said, "Brother Zhou, you are here, my father asks you to come over and discuss with you if you have something to do." He said to Park Feng and the others, "Masters, please be busy, be careful."

Zhou Chong added: "If you are tired, take a break and drink some water." He followed Zeng Yao out and asked, "Brother Zeng, what's wrong with uncle looking for me?"

"The county magistrate is here." Zeng Yao replied: "I'm looking for you."
