Chapter 208 Stretches for thousands of years! (seeking subscription)
Chuhe finally saw the Yunmeng Qin bamboo slips placed on the counter in the museum.

With just such a simple gesture, the entire legal system of the Qin Dynasty was presented.

Jing Bochao personally introduced to Chuhe: "There are a total of 1155 bamboo slips in the Qin tomb in Sleeping Tiger Land, including 80 fragments, which are classified into ten parts."

"Including "Eighteen Kinds of Qin Law", "Imitation Law" and so on, right?" Chu He asked Jing Bochao.

Jing Bochao was a little surprised, but then he realized: "It seems that you had already figured out Yunmeng Qin Jian before you came here, right?"

"Yeah, yes." Chuhe was worried that he would ignore Jing Bochao's words when he would use his ability to trace the source, so he reminded: "Mr. Jing, why don't you get busy first? If there is something I don't understand, I will ask you again."

"All right, all right, but I guess there is nothing you don't understand." Jing Bochao left with a smile.

Chu He stood in front of the Yunmeng Qin Jian counter, as if he had suddenly communicated with the owner of the Qin Jian face to face.

At that time, the predecessors discovered an official named "Xi" in the tomb of the Qin Dynasty. He was a grassroots official of the Qin State.

This made Chuhe couldn't help thinking about it. More than 2000 years ago, when Qin Shihuang was about to complete the unification of the world, in the place of Yunmeng, there was a low-level official who carefully scanned the bamboo slips as thick as chopsticks with a weak light every night. He wrote down his work record for the day in one stroke.

This Qin slip contains a lot of content related to the criminal law. Looking at the notes next to it, and combining it with the text in the Qin slip, Chu He can see some detailed regulations.

Like picking locks!

It is known as slipping the door and picking the lock. In the Qin Dynasty, there were very strict regulations on this behavior.

Why did you pry, did you pry, or were you caught in the process of prying? How are these behaviors punished?

Therefore, as long as we study the laws in the Qin bamboo slips, we can know the moral concepts of the Qin Dynasty, the relationship between people and society, and feel how it has evolved into the current civilization step by step from ancient times to the present.

Chuhe felt that the time was almost up, so he started the ability to trace the source.

[Thousand-year-old Bamboo Slips, Witnessing the Unification of China]

[The time came on the eve of the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and the location was Anlu County more than 2000 years ago. A grassroots official named "Xi" not only memorized the laws and regulations, but also let his subordinates remember them by heart.]

Two subordinates came to Xi's workshop, raised their hands and said, "Sir Xi!"

Xi looked up at the person in front of him, nodded: "You two are here? Then sit down first."

Every ten days, Xi would conduct a legal assessment on his subordinates, so these two officials came here for the examination today.

"Sir, what are we testing today?" asked an official named Youzhi.

Xi stroked his beard, stood up, put his hands behind his head, and said: "It's been half a year since the assessment, this official is tired, and you are also tired, let's change our method today."

Another official named Zi Le was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "My lord is considerate, very good."

"Today we will switch to answering questions! If anyone gets all the answers correct in the end, then the official will increase his salary by half a month. If he answers a wrong question, he will be punished by copying [-] bamboo slips." Xi thought for a while and came up with a solution .

Youzhi was speechless after hearing this. Isn't this still equivalent to an assessment?

Moreover, if you answer incorrectly, you will be punished with twenty bamboo slips. This is too inhumane.

You Zhi's legal ability is not as good as Zi Le's, so he will definitely lose this time.

Zi Le was very happy. He had passed the assessment a few times before, but his colleagues often couldn't remember it. He must have been able to get half a month's salary.

"Listen carefully to my question, and then answer quickly."

Xi stood in front of the two of them, and then said: "If the official is away on business, where should he go to get the rations?"

Youzhi immediately answered: "Where do you go for business, and where do you go to get a thick ration!"

"wrong!"

Xi took out several bamboo slips and handed them to Youzhi: "Copy twenty of them!"

With helplessness on his face, You asked hurriedly, "My lord, what's wrong?"

"Qin law stipulates that when officials go out on business, they need to prepare their own food rations! Don't take more dishes and soups from the subordinate counties and townships!" Zi Le explained to Youzhi.

Hearing this, You Zhi quickly patted his head: "I should have remembered!"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, continue." Xi thought for a while and asked the second question: "If an official is transferred, can he bring his subordinates with him?"

Zi Le then replied: "Yes!"

Xi smiled, and took out twenty bamboo slips, "Twenty!"

"That's not possible?" Zi Le couldn't believe it, and felt very surprised.

"Have you ever imagined why there are such regulations?" Xi asked Zi Le and You Zhi.

Youzhi thought for a while, and immediately replied: "In order to prevent the formation of cliques for personal gain, corruption!"

"If the husband rapes the wife at home, what should the government do?" Xi asked them again.

Zi Le was a little embarrassed: "It's hard for an upright official to handle household affairs. This, sir, we can't decide?"

"wrong!"

Xi took another twenty bamboo slips to Zile: "If this happens, the man's beard and sideburns must be shaved off!"

"If within a hundred steps, someone shouts, what should I do?" Xi You continued to ask.

Now, no one dared to answer.

Youzhi said nervously, "It should be punished heavily!"

"That's right!" Xi was very happy and encouraged Youzhi.

Although the assessment this time was unsightly for Youzhi and Zile, Xi still asked them to make persistent efforts.

However, Zi Le said sullenly, "My lord, you have memorized these thousands of laws by heart, but we, we really can't remember them, and future generations may not remember them. Is this useful?"

Now that it got to Xi's heart, he sighed: "Someone once told me that mere officials like you don't regain military power, and don't sit in the world. Why are you working so hard?"

"But you have ever thought about it. The countries are in war and the lives are in ruins. The rise of our Great Qin State is just to allow the people of the world to recuperate and recuperate. What is the basis for our rise to dominate the world? It's us mere officials!"

"Abandoning well fields, emphasizing farming and mulberry, awarding military merits, setting up counties and counties, and unifying measurement, these are the grand wishes of the king!"

"The reason why I copied down a hundred regulations is because they are changing our Great Qin Kingdom and changing the fate of the common people in the world. We are mortal, and the bamboo slips are bound to decay, but behind these regulations there must be It will last for thousands of years!"

After hearing Xi's words, Youzhi and Zile expressed that they would definitely complete the task of compiling the bamboo slips, so that more people could understand the laws and regulations of the Qin Dynasty.

In this way, the Yunmeng Qin Bamboo Slip was born, until 2000 years later, it reappeared together with the cemetery, letting the world know what happened in the Qin Dynasty that year!
