At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 5: What is written on the bamboo slips may not be true
  In the end, all the money Xu Fan earned from selling wolf skins was put into his household registration. On the third day after the money was taken out, Chen Gang, the head of the village, took Xu Fan's household registration and settled back to Chen's family. It is a piece of wood that records Xu Fan's age, identity, property, and physical characteristics. It says that Xu Fan has fair skin and a delicate appearance.

Xu Fan smiled when he saw such words: "Is this an officially certified handsome man?"

Chen Gang said: "Although you don't have land and don't need to pay land tax, you can't avoid paying the 100 qian payment this year, and you have to prepare for corvee and military service!"

Chen Lin said: "But it is not without its benefits. With household registration, you can reclaim wasteland. Now that you have a house and fields, you will get rid of the situation of gangsters. The government cannot arrest you casually."

In Daqin, gangsters are also captured and served as corvees. Unless they escape to the mountains and forests to become bandits, it is best to have a formal job in Daqin.

Xu Fan's face became serious when he heard this. The Qin Dynasty was not a paradise. He had already gained a certain understanding of this dynasty in the few days he came here. Not to mention the heavy taxes, military service and corvee. Although the First Emperor is not dead yet, the people of Qin are already oppressed to the brink of life and death. In the entire Chen family, there are few people who can store food for more than a month.

From what Xu Fan saw, most of the people here were already on the verge of bankruptcy. As long as natural or man-made disasters occurred and food production was reduced, the entire Chen family would have to sell their fields or their children to survive. The heavy corvee has caused the countryside to lose a lot of young people, and a reduction in grain production is almost inevitable.

I read some Qin slips and said that the people who said that the corvee in the Qin Dynasty was not heavy were all brainless. It is one thing to formulate laws and regulations, but it is another thing to implement them well. If officials can combine knowledge and action, they will not be able to do it. There will be so many reincarnations of chaos and chaos. When looking at a court's policies, it's not about what it writes in the book, but what it does.

During the reign of the First Emperor, an army of 50 was conscripted to conquer Baiyue in the south, and the number of civilians who followed the army was probably more than one million. Another 30 civilians were recruited to build the Great Wall, and the nine roads that connected the country behind it were only feared to be millions. The common people couldn't stop it, and 70 prisoners were ordered to be conscripted in Epang Palace and the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

Randomly counting the various huge projects during the reign of the First Emperor, the number of civilians on construction sites in various parts of the Qin Dynasty would have exceeded 300 million. At that time, the entire Qin Dynasty only had a population of about 2000 million. Fifteen percent of the country's young people are serving in corvee service. It's no wonder that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang could have millions of troops as soon as they started the uprising. Every construction site in Daqin was the best military camp.

The Chen family where Xu Fan lives can also see the heavy burden of corvee military service in the Qin Dynasty. During the war in South Vietnam, 15 people from Chenjiacun served in the military. In the end, all of these people did not come back. This is also the reason why a large number of houses in the Chen family are abandoned. Each house is a family that has been destroyed, and although South Vietnam has been pacified now, the number of corvees for ordinary people is not small.

There are still 26 young men in Chen's family who are building the Binhai Chi Road in Donghai County, and these people have been doing corvee service for more than a year. However, according to the Qin Dynasty's corvée system, a young man can serve no more than one month a year, and they cannot exceed their hometown. Hundreds of miles away, you can't violate the farming season. You have to let the young people go home to farm in the spring and autumn harvests. Maybe you can get a few Qin Banliang. This is such a perfect system that even the Celestial Empire can't do it.

But now the young men of the Chen family have gone to Sishui County, which is hundreds of miles away. The land is cultivated by women, and the young men who are serving as corvees have sent letters, not only saying that they want to send money, but that they want their families to send food. Anyway, the entire Chen family has not seen it. Over the money from the Marina Channel.

These are all things that violate the laws of the Qin Dynasty, but how can ordinary people control the county magistrate and county governor?
  Even if you point the decree at the county magistrate and say, you are breaking the law.

I'm afraid the county magistrate will only calmly say: "I did break the law. It's my fault, but it has nothing to do with you doing the corvee. You have to continue to serve the corvee. You have to consider the difficulties of the court to pay for the corvee. Now The court is short of money, so you have to suffer a little, and when the court has money, it will be given to you, don’t you still believe in the court!”

Ordinary people will become prisoners and slaves of the government if they break the law. When they break the law, they don’t even have to punish themselves for three cups. You have to pay for their mistakes. Isn’t it very down-to-earth?

The whole Chen family has more girls than boys, and the only person over forty years old is Chen Gang, the eldest son of the village. The other elderly people all died in the brutal unification war. There are not many young people aged 20-40 like Chen Lin, only about 30. There are slightly more people under the age of 20, about a hundred people, and there are more women, about people. The Chen family lacks young people. This is also the reason why Chen Gang is willing to accept Xu Fan, an outsider. Of course, the household registration in Xu Fan's hands has another advantage, that is, he finally does not have to worry about being caught as a prisoner. As for corvee military service, it can only be said that there are gains and losses. At least now Xu Fan seems to have gained more than he lost.

For Xu Fan now, the most important thing is to hand over the 100 yuan calculation before the end of the year. He, a person two thousand years later, knows the cruelty of Qin's law, and he is also worried that he will become a prisoner of the Qin Dynasty.

So on the second day after obtaining the household registration, Xu Fan officially accepted Chen Lin's son A Sheng as his student and began his career as a master.

"Chen Sheng!" When Xu Fan wrote Ah Sheng's name on the bamboo piece, he realized that the little kid in front of him might actually be a famous figure throughout the ages. He was the leader of the first peasant uprising army in Chinese history. Is it true that princes and generals would rather have a decent person? 'On this point alone, his progress is better than that of thousands of emperors and generals.

"Is there a place called Daze Township near here?" Xu Fan asked Chen Lindao.

Chen Lin said strangely: "I have never heard of it in Daze Township, but there are indeed many swamps in Sishui County, and there are many in this county as well."

Then there is a high probability that it is.

Xu Fan looked at Chen Sheng with sympathy on his face, because in history, he only knew about Chen Sheng's uprising, and Chen Sheng was never seen again in the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty. He was probably the first person to be eliminated in the chaotic times. .

At least Chen Lin was kind to him, and he hoped that after his guidance, this enhanced version of Chen Sheng could fight to the end in troubled times.

After the villagers in the Chen family knew that Xu Fan was still a master, they all became more enthusiastic towards Xu Fan. Some were holding two rabbits, some were holding a piece of bacon, and some were living in poverty. However, in order to let their son study, they held their own. The old hen at home, the parents of a basket of eggs, the parents of several kilograms of rice.

Xu Fan would not reject anyone who came to these people. Even if he had a few eggs, Xu Fan would accept them. Anyway, he would teach one person or a group of people.

So Xu Fan had 23 more students. The eldest among them was Chen Sheng, who was 15 years old this year, and the youngest was a boy named Xiaodouzi, who was six years old this year. After accepting these students, Xu Fan quickly became the richest man in the entire Chen family.
