When Chen Ping was impressed by the customs of the Huns, the noble and strong, and the weak, the Heifu, who was far away in the Beidi County, was doing something opposite: to build the first "care home" in the Qin Dynasty. .

This was created by Heifu and the county magistrate Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai regarded this as a political achievement, while Heifu regarded it as a way to boost morale and inspire soldiers to fight bravely.

In the mid-Si month of the 28th year of Qin Shihuang (the fourth month of the lunar calendar), the northern land had already entered summer, and the sun was warm and the "nutritional home" was officially opened in the west of Yiqu County. This place is not big and will accommodate the elderly and widowed soldiers who have been disabled and have no one to support them in the past few decades due to military service, service, and border guards.

In fact, the Beidi County has a sparse population, with only 30,000 households and less than 200,000 households, of which only half of the Qin people are, so there are only about 20 people who meet this condition...

Even if they specially built a yard, hired a kitchen or servant to take care of them, it would not cost much a year.

But Heifu still attached great importance to this matter. On the day the nursing home was opened, he personally brought the selected three hundred good families to ask them to find these disabled old soldiers who did not believe that such good things in the world were carrying water and chopping firewood, and making a good gesture.

The old soldiers finally believed it and were moved to tears, because they were indeed a group struggling on the brink of death. Although they were injured, they did not get a title. After thinking about it, it would be better to die in battle. After returning to their hometown, they also lost Li Tian's ability. Because of their disability, no one was willing to marry their daughter.

"It's like a tree that suddenly cuts off all branches and leaves in one day. Even if you don't die, you can only survive."

An old man excitedly slapped his bare left foot and said that he was twenty years ago when the Six Kingdoms attacked Hangu Pass and went to serve to defend against the enemy's injuries. One of his legs was broken by the long hub of the rapidly rolling chariot, but he miraculously survived.

But after he came back, he was often regarded as a slave who was sentenced for running away, and suffered all his grievances...

Until today, he felt that the injury and disability that year seemed to be of some value.

After listening carefully to the stories of each elderly man, he patted their dry hands and said, "Dear, please feel free to protect your food, clothing, medical care, and burial in the nursing home. Five guarantees will be complete until you have a good end!"

He always felt that soldiers should not treat them as bones for making meritorious contributions, nor should they be sent to the point of being sent, and they would not be irrelevant to death. Instead, they were a group of living people. Since they wanted to instigate them to fight, they had to do a good job in the aftermath.

The black husband also gave three hundred good sons, and even the county soldiers and garrisons who were ordered to build walls and repair houses to promote the Qin Dynasty: "The Way to be an official said that as a Qin official, one should eliminate harm and make profits, be kind to all the people, and not be guilty. Those who are lonely, poor, elderly, weak, and disabled, and sick, will be reduced and exempted from labor service, and they will be strictly prohibited from bullying them. The government will take care of them for food, clothing, hunger and cold. This is the case for ordinary Guizhou leaders, let alone these soldiers who have contributed to the country and caused physical disabilities? "

Although Qin law is sometimes cruel, sometimes it is also very tender. These things that seem very "Confucian" are actually advocated by the Legalists. There is no need to wait until the Han Dynasty. Legalists have long learned to wrap a layer of human nature outside their cold hearts. Shang Yang's "rituals and music, poetry and books, cultivation of goodness, filial piety, integrity, integrity, benevolence and righteousness, and not being embarrassed to fight in wars, all of which are the truth that Li Si and others will not say.

In contrast to nomads, farming civilization is like having an old family. It is much worse than that of young people in their mastery of seasons, climate, seasons, seeds, soil, farm tools and even farming methods. In addition, there is no need to migrate frequently, and the harvest is relatively stable. It is not difficult to support parents and save money.

Therefore, respect for the elderly and filial piety and brotherhood have become universal values ​​recognized by Legalism, Confucianism, Huang Lao and other schools. Even the Mohist school who likes to go against the wrong path only hopes that people in the world "love other people's parents as their own parents, and love other people's brothers as their own brothers."

This is not difficult to understand why many dynasties in later generations like to "govern the world with filial piety", because this is the universal values ​​of Chinese farming culture and will never be wrong.

By the way, Heifu also announced that if there is a melee on the battlefield in the future, it will be difficult to distinguish the body that cannot be transported back to his hometown, and the body that cannot be transported back to his hometown will be buried in the "Zhongshi Cemetery". This was the year when Chu was destroyed, and he suggested that Li You promote it in Nanjun.

After two-pronged approach, three hundred good families and one thousand county soldiers followed Heifu, facing Xianyang and said loudly:

"Due to your Majesty's blessing and the decree of the law, the Qin soldiers beheaded have titles, the disabled have their care, and the dead have their battles have their burials. How dare we not fight bravely to kill the enemy, and be happy when we hear the battle?"

After finishing the official duties, Heifu hurried home. The county magistrate was a very diligent person in the past, but today he got off work at the right time. The officials of the county magistrate's office suddenly felt that it was a strange thing.

Because just yesterday, Ye Zijin told Heifu a good news: her menstrual period this month is likely to be pregnant with the hard work of Heifu in these two months...

This is a great joy! Heifu was a man in two lives, but he had the first chance to be a father. Although the final result was not yet confirmed, he was inexplicably excited.

When his wife saw the little man's posture, he joked with him, he said seriously: "How can a father not look forward to his eldest son and daughter, like a rainy rain?"

It is a coincidence that when Heifu said this, hundreds of miles away from the north, Prince Maodun, the eldest son of the Great Shanyu of the Huns, was not loved by his father, but through a wedding gift, everyone on the grassland knew about it...

...

Chen Ping has been to Helan Mountain for several days, and finally waited for Maodun’s wedding. On the day of the wedding, Prince Maodun came back on a red horse with eight feet high on his shoulders and carrying the "Yanshi" in a feathered uniform.

The 阿大大 is a transliteration of the Xiongnu language. Because there are cheers around, the translator can only tell Chen Ping loudly that this word can also be understood as "the wife of the official wife." "The Shanyu can have many 阿大大大, the largest one is called the Zhuanqu大大大大. But the rest, including the prince, can only have one 阿大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大大�

Chen Ping nodded, Zhongyuan is almost the same.

While observing the differences between the Huns and the Central Plains, Chen Ping also discovered many common points, such as the Huns worshipped the heavens, and the full name of the Huns' Great Shanyu is "Zhanli Gutu Shanyu".

"Zhanli", the word "tian" in the Xiongnu, "gutu" means "zi", and "shanyu" means "broad".

Therefore, "Supporting the Plum and Tu Shanyu" is translated into Xia Yan, which is the "great emperor"...

Prince Maodun was born to the "Zhuoqulan" of Touman Shanyu, but she has passed away for many years. I heard that Touman Shanyu recently got a beauty from the distant Western Regions and made her a member of the Yan family. She was extremely favored. A few years ago, she also added a younger brother to Maodun...

But no matter what, Maodun, as the eldest son of Touman, attracted much attention and was regarded as his future successor. He also sent him to the best pasture in Henan, Helan Mountain, to the Helan Mountain herd.

When the eldest son got married, the Hun tribes from thousands of miles away all sent people to participate. The tribes gathered together. Just the fully armed young and strong cavalry were surrounded by four or five thousand cavalry, and there were countless women, children and slaves. They camped on the vast Helan Mountain grassland with a large number of animals and quickly built tents with wicker felt roofs.

The wedding was held under the sky, and it was a feast for the whole nation to participate. Both men and women wore Hu clothes with pleated pants, painted leather vests on the outside, tied horsehair leggings on them, nobles decorated their heads with gold, bronze belts on their waists, and applied animal fat to their braids to black and shiny.

Then, hundreds of cattle and sheep began to slaughter hundreds of cattle and sheep. The barbecue smell filled the grassland. Everyone ate roasted meat with green salt, drank fermented horse milk wine, and sat around the campfire and laughed at each other. The sound was so loud that the noise made the underground sheep flee.

Unfortunately, Chen Ping's current identity is the "subject official" of the caravan. He was not qualified to approach Maodun's tent, so he could only watch from afar, watching Wu Shiyan and other valuable guests paying respects to the tall Prince Maodun one by one and present their gifts...

First, Prince Maodun sat down on the horse with eight feet shoulders. This was a gift from a Western merchant named "Kang Kingdom", which gave Maodun enough face. It is said that this country is far west of the Yuezhi and the mountains in the desert westward. The man has a high nose and deep eyes. It was the first time that Wushiyan encountered it, but he could only communicate with it through the Xiongnu language.

Aries of Henan presented a lamb made of pure gold; Lou Fan gave a long whip with a silver handle and a sci-saurus; Yan Jun gave a horse carved from green salt and a gilded sci-sci-scarved sword; Lin Hu gave a large fur woven from marten fur.

A marquis from the Yuezhi sent ten camels; an adult from the Donghu sent five leopard skins.

Among them, Wu Shiyan's gifts are particularly valuable: 300 kilograms of brown sugar, 10 pieces of embroidered silk, 30 pieces of brocade, and 40 pieces of red and green treasures each...

In addition to the guests who came from afar, the various members of the Huns, thousands of cavalry and thousands of people also offered gifts.

But looking at these gifts, Prince Maodun's expression became more and more gloomy.

Because the most important gift he was waiting for had not arrived for a long time.

It was not until a long time that several cavalry came late, and all the Huns began to cheer. What they brought was the wedding gift from the Great Shanyu Touman to his son!

Maodun smiled and came forward to greet several messengers in person. They carried a gold-decorated pine wood box and walked forward quickly. After paying homage to Maodun, they opened the box in public...

Maodun's smile disappeared and his face became particularly ugly!

In the box, there was nothing he expected, just an ordinary leopard skin hat...

The Hun nobles stopped hustle and looked at each other, and the surroundings became surprisingly quiet.

Chen Ping noticed this strangeness, and the translator told him in a low voice: "According to the custom of the Huns, when the eldest son gets married, the Shanyu will send him a silver-topped eagle crown representing the "big son", that is, the heir, the second only to the golden-topped eagle crown of the Xiongnu Shanyu... "" The father and son have a gap and want to abolish the eldest son and establish the young!"

Chen Ping couldn't help but lit up and immediately turned to look at Maodun, wanting to know how he would react.

Furious? Or turn against each other in public? At the critical moment when Qin wanted to use military forces against the Huns, if the Xiongnu Shanyu and his son were incompatible, it would be a great joy for the Heifu!

However, Maodun only remained silent for a long time, put his leopard skin hat on his head, knelt towards Manchester City, put his hands on his chest, paused his head three times, and thanked his father loudly! Then, he shouted a few words, entered the felt tent, fulfilling the groom's obligations. Soon, the unconcealed shouts from the Huns came from inside. If the bride did not scream loudly on the wedding day, it would mean that the groom was a waste.

The awkward atmosphere stopped, and the Huns became noisy again, and laughter resumed, as if what had happened just now had not happened..." What did Prince Maodun say just now? "Chen Ping is most concerned about this.

The translator said: "The prince said that his favorite thing is the leather he hunted by his father, which is better than the crown of gold and silver, and also better than all the gifts today!"

This response is appropriate, but Chen Ping nodded slightly at first, but shook his head slightly, and said intimately: "Duke Xian of Jin, the matter of Li Ji is probably going to be staged in the Xiongnu!"

He looked at the figure in the felt tent, reflected by candlelight, and cast on the curtain, which looked extremely huge.

"I just don't know, is this Prince Maodun, Shen Sheng or Chong'er?"
