Daqin: You have a son to help Su

Chapter 178 Bering's Mistake, God Sacrifice Celebration
Apart from being picky, the governor of Bering County is still a good person.For example, the sheriff's office would not give them lunch every day, and if they had to be busy until evening, the sheriff of Bering would let them eat white corn.

Just like the sheriff's surname, he didn't even have pickles for the meal, just a bowl of corn rice.

This also makes many officials prefer to go back to eat after finishing their work, and it can save a meal for the county guard.It is said that the governor of Bering County will let Pao Ding cook corn porridge tomorrow morning with the extra rice that has not been eaten.

Another example is that there was no Donghu and Hun invasion last year. Although Yanmen County also had a decline in grain production due to the cold weather, it still ushered in a bumper harvest because of the hard work of the county guards.

During the Chinese New Year, the officials also thought that at least Yanmen County would hold a New Year's sacrifice and banquet to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

But there was no meat food at this sacrifice and banquet, and the tributes for the worship were not three or six animals, but some vegetables and corn.

If the governor of Yanmen County knew that the governor of Bering County was really clean and not embezzling the tribute, otherwise an ungodly memorial would have been sent to Xianyang City.

But the officials still maintained the reputation of Bering County Sheriff, but did not report it to the son.

It's just that Bai Ling didn't have the final say on this Yanmen County alone, and the governor of Yanmen County who was not under his jurisdiction also came to the Sheriff's Mansion.The county supervisor of the state of Qin belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the royal doctor and supervises the affairs of the county.

After he walked over, he directly bowed to Fusu: "Cai Zi, the county supervisor, has seen the young master!"

Fusu also went out to help the county supervisor, and the original question to the officials became a question to Cai Zi.

"The county guard is clean and honest. This Yanmen County has been known since Cai Zi, down to the elders of all townships." Cai Zi nodded and praised: "Yanmen County is located in a border county, with a large area and few people. It is different from the inner counties. In comparison, it is even poorer. Now under the leadership of Bering County Governor, Yanmen County has indeed become prosperous."

After the county supervisor Cai Zi praised Bering, his tone changed: "But the Bering county guard is too frugal in some places, so that it is too economical."

"Celebrating the New Year is a major event in a county. It can encourage the officials and people of Yanmen County from top to bottom, but Bering County guards use pickled vegetables and corn rice to make things easy, which will make people who don't know the truth think that the entire Yanmen County was a disaster year last year. , which is not good for the people.”

"What's more, the common people regard the new year as the beginning of the year. Knowing that the county guards are lax with the gods, they are also afraid of being punished by the gods. Most of the people spend a lot of money to buy livestock to sacrifice to the gods, so that next year will be a bumper year."

When he said this, Cai Zi shook his head. A livestock is a big expense for the common people. It turns out that the harvest is normal this year and they can live a stable year.

But because the grain was exchanged for the livestock, the livestock still had to be slaughtered, so this year they may have to tighten their belts again.

Hearing this sentence, the governor of Bailing looked at the governor Cai Zi in disbelief, and then turned his head to ask the subordinate officials: "Are you serious about what the governor said?"

Many people bowed their heads. In fact, some of them spent their own money to buy livestock to sacrifice to the gods.

From the perspective of later generations, such a superstitious and anti-intellectual approach is naturally undesirable, but this is the end of the ancient Warring States period. From the Qin Dynasty to the common people and chief officials, who does not believe in gods.

Not to mention that on the other side of the Atlantic, there is also a "free" Ying Jiang, who is so anti-intellectual and superstitious that netizens jokingly say, "You laugh at Ying Jiang who is anti-intellectual, and Ying Jiang laughs at you that you don't understand Ying Jiang!" '

And Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period could say: "Respect ghosts and gods and stay away!" 'It is already the most ideal way for superstition.

However, as the main assistant of the county guard, the county magistrate still stepped forward and replied: "Back to the county guard, there are indeed many people who exchange grain for livestock to sacrifice to the gods."

Hearing these words, Bai Ling looked at Young Master Fusu and County Supervisor Cai Zi again, bowed and said, "Young Master, I have something to deal with, and it's still early spring, and I'm going to make up the sacrifices for the gods. I hope the common people will stop exchanging grain for livestock."

After speaking, Bering wanted to leave here.

Fusu shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the governor of Bering County, I'll take care of it!"

It's a pity that Fusu doesn't have a white feather fan now, otherwise he would wave it in his hand to show his image as a wise man.

He turned his head to discuss with Guo Jia, and Guo Jia nodded when he heard Young Master Fusu's proposal: "Young Master, this method is feasible!"

So Fusu said Houtian: "The governor of Bailing County, how much military rations are there in the granary of Yanmen County?"

The governor of Bering County looked at the grain official who was in charge of the granary, and the grain official immediately came out and said: "The granary in Yanmen County is full, and the corn can feed the army for two years!"

Hearing this sentence, Fusu nodded appreciatively. As a frontier, Yanmen County was indeed very successful under Bering's jurisdiction.

"Then I need to transfer half of the grain. Please ask the county guard to bring someone to accompany me to get the grain!" Fusu showed Qin Wangzheng's order to adjust the grain as the governor of the counties.

"Wei!" After receiving the order, Bai Ling asked the grain official to take the eldest son to collect the grain, while he himself went back to write down the order to dispatch the grain from the granary, and then reported it to the Xianyang court.

Cai Zi also wanted to write a letter to inform Dr. Yu Shi of the situation of the eldest son dispatching grain in Yanmen County.

After receiving the rations, Fusu took the granary officials and his own soldiers to the city wall of Yanmen County, and asked the soldiers to post a notice written by himself.

"Young master will offer sacrifices to the gods in Shanwu County, the county seat of Yanmen County, and pray for a good harvest this year for the people of Yanmen County!" The big characters on the notice read the eye-catching title.

Because Yanmen County belonged to the State of Zhao in the past, in addition to the small seal script of the State of Qin, there are also the characters of the State of Zhao.

To be on the safe side, Fusu asked Guo Jia to record it in two languages. After all, Guo Jia who was summoned was a member of the Shangdang Party of Zhao State.

After the Qin State unified the Zhao State, Guo Jia also learned the Qin State Xiaozhuan, and the writing was quite beautiful.

The big characters on it are very attractive to literate people. They thought that the nobles and officials of the Qin State were as unreasonable as the county governor Bai Ling, and they were only Western barbarians.

Originally, the New Year's ceremony was a tradition, but the sheriff actually tried to get away with using pickled vegetables and corn, forcing everyone to buy a livestock to worship the gods.

This son Fusu is worthy of the name of benevolence, as soon as he came to Dai County, he immediately completed this important event for Bai Ling, the governor of Yanmen County.

But the following words attracted them even more, and some people even read them out: "All officials and common people who use livestock to sacrifice to the gods can take the livestock to Shanwu County, where the eldest son Fusu takes them back, and worships the gods as a royal family."

This is not a trivial matter. At this time, most people still believe in blood, not to mention the same clan of Qin and Zhao. It is a happy event in Yanmen County to sacrifice to the gods as the son of Qin.

Unexpectedly, the son Fusu was willing to use the livestock of various officials and common people to sacrifice.The news was so shocking that it spread quickly.
