Chapter 385 Orcs will never be slaves
...
"Marquis Qinghe, thank you today. Shiman comes again next day!"
It was already the end of Shenshi, and it was already very late. Ying Shiman finally ate all the braised dishes next to each other. After feeling satisfied, she brought several large bowls of braised dishes back to the palace. At the same time, she also took away the index manual for the regular script written by Chen Xu, saying that it was bored in the palace and that she could learn the understanding and writing of regular script well.
Princess Huayu left in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked back with a pair of beautiful eyes, with a reluctant expression on her face.
Chen Xu stood at the door and waved, watching Princess Huayu's car finally turn around and can't see it. Then he let out a long sigh and turned back home.
This is not a good phenomenon. Princess Huayu is not only beautiful, but also has an extremely respectful identity and is well-educated. She has done this a few more times. Chen Xu cannot guarantee that she will really dislike her. The most important thing is that the First Emperor must have not given up on the plan to give her marriage. If Qin Shihuang really issued an edict to give her marriage, then Chen Xu could only agree with his nose.
Because this is related to the royal face, it is definitely not OK to refuse directly, and Qin Shihuang must have thought of this. However, considering Chen Xu's identity, Qin Shihuang was also using a way to boil a frog in warm water to let his most beautiful daughter come to Qinghe Hou. They are all young people of similar age in their teens. As they come and go, the relationship between the two will naturally warm up. When the relationship between the two reaches a certain level, they will then give a marriage legitimately. In this way, the royal face is preserved, and Chen Xu is not very resistant. The two things of marrying a daughter and marrying a wife will come naturally.
As for the disciple Liezi named Qingrou, Qin Shihuang would not think too much about it.
In this era, there is no so-called three wives and four concubines.
The saying that if you are poor, you will be able to keep your body alone; if you are rich, you will have a lot of wives and concubines will not work in the Qin Dynasty.
First of all, as long as you are not poor to death, you will inevitably be unable to survive alone, because Qin law stipulates that no matter whether a man or a woman is adult, she must get married once she reaches adulthood. The standard for adulthood is not the age, but the height. A man is more than six feet and five inches (about one meter five) and a woman is more than six feet (about one meter four) to meet the marriage standard. However, if a man is over twenty, a woman is over fifteen or unmarried, it is considered illegal. The officials will force the marriage partner to get married, and then start to get married independently and separate from his father and brother, and begin to fulfill the formal obligations of the country, because dividing households is an important prerequisite for increasing national taxes and a necessary guarantee for increasing the country's population.
Therefore, in Daqin, there are probably no men who cannot find a wife, unless they are paraplegia below the waist. After decades of battle between the princes, the most lacking of men is now men, but there are many women, with widows, and the situation across the country is similar to that in Qinghe Town. As long as they are adult men, women are rushing to marry everywhere.
But there is another law in the Qin Dynasty called monogamy. Qin law stipulates that if a husband has a one-wife and two concubines, he will be punished. If a husband has two wives, he will be punished. If a wife has an outer husband, he will be palace.
Therefore, it is illegal for ordinary people to live a sexual life of three wives and four concubines. A man who marrys two wives must be beheaded. Even a rich and wealthy businessman can only marry a wife honestly. A concubine does not exist, nor can he marry him. However, the so-called "people do not procurate the officials." With the support of a legal excuse for men to divorce, rich men can raise concubines. As long as their wives do not go to the government to make trouble, it is normal to sleep with concubines every day, because wealthy is different from the poor in any era.
Of course, the above said that the law is aimed at ordinary people, and above the gentry are not subject to this law. In other words, people with titles, official positions, status and status do not place too many restrictions on marrying a wife. Ordinary gentry can have one wife and two concubines. As for more advanced aristocrats, there are many wives and concubines, and there are no wives and concubines. At the rank of Chen Xu, it is already a handful of nobles in the Qin Dynasty. There is no limit on marrying a wife. As long as you can afford to marry and support, of course, you must be careful. It is best not to marry more than the emperor.
Therefore, there is not much consideration for Chen Xu to marry his daughter, whether he is a wife or a wife, Qin Shihuang. First, he has many creatures like his daughter, and he will not care too much about his children's ideas. In this era, women are considered an optional accessory, and the same is true for the royal family. The main function of a daughter is to win over the princes and princes and ministers and increase the emperor's control over the ministers.
Wang Jian led an army of 600,000 to attack Chu for the second time, desperately asking Qin Shihuang for land, land, women, gold, silver and jewelry and other rewards. The purpose was to show Qin Shihuang that he did not fight for power, but wanted to get more property and women. Qin Shihuang was really happy after hearing this and married his eldest daughter, the 18-year-old Princess Liyang, Ying Yuanman, to Wang Jian. You must know that Wang Jian was already in his fifties at that time, not only nearly twenty years older than Qin Shihuang, but was enough to be Ying Yuanman's grandfather by age, but in order to let Wang Jian help him conquer Chu, Qin Shihuang did not care much about his daughter. Less than a year after marriage, Ying Yuanman died of depression. He heard that he was pregnant when he died. It can be seen that although Wang Jian was old, he was still a savage and rough day for Qin Shihuang's daughter.
Ying Yuanman's death did not make Qin Shihuang too sad. Later, he gave Wang Jian a lot of money and women one after another so that Wang Jian could continue to help him purge other countries with peace of mind.
Chen Xu naturally knew what Qin Shihuang thought, but he could only take one step at the moment. If it really doesn't work, just wait until the spring starts and marry Shui Qingrou in advance. In this way, no matter whether the marriage is successful or not, it will not affect Shui Qingrou's status.
In this era, as a top noble in the Qin Dynasty, the plan to marry only one wife is unlikely to be possible. First of all, the emperor would not allow it unless he only married his daughter. Secondly, his mother would not allow it. Now that the Chen family has a population withered, he is the only son, who bears the important responsibility of growing up. Even if they marry Shui Qingrou, they can still marry five, six, seven or eight more wives, which can be worthy of the honor of the marquis. A marquis' mansion with poor population is destined to be a target for people to secretly ridicule, and they may even guess whether the Qinghe Marquis's function is not good in some aspects.
At the southeast corner of the Hou Mansion, a wooden cage is placed under the straw shed, and two giant pandas, one big and one small, are still locked inside. The sky is already very dark, but there are still twenty or thirty servants carrying wood and bricks and stones. Several craftsmen are stepping up the construction of a giant panda garden covering about two acres. After two hours, the construction is almost completed.
Chen Xu walked to the wooden cage, and both bears put their heads to the edge of the cage, and their cages stretched out and kept licking their mouths, making humming sounds.
"Come on, go and cut some annual tender bamboos!" Chen Xu turned around and ordered.
Bamboo is a plant that is more common in the south, and Nanyang is everywhere. Although Xianyang is located in the northwest, the climate of the Qin and Han Dynasties is very different from that of later generations. Many bamboos were planted in this prime minister's mansion, and there are several species. However, Chen Xu didn't know what kind of species it was. But I think giant pandas eat bamboo, so I should know what they can eat.
Soon several servants brought over a bundle of bamboos of varying thickness. Chen Xu asked someone to open the wooden cage and threw the bundle of bamboo in front of the cage.
The two giant pandas were probably hungry and rushed out of the cage very flexibly. Then they grabbed the bamboo and sat on the ground to bite it. The sound of eating was very excited. They had to sniff a few bites and expressed their excitement and emotions.
"Marty, it turns out that this white lily ate bamboo!" The servants and craftsmen who were working looked at the two giant pandas in surprise.
"This one is not called Bai Ju, it is called giant panda, do you know?" Chen Xu said, clapping the soil on his hand.
"Yes, Marquis!" All the servants quickly agreed.
Just change the name. If the Marquis said that the two white silks were changed to the donkey, probably everyone would not object, because the omnipotent Marquis said whatever the Marquis said.
"Build the wall firmly so that the pandas will not hurt people. From today on, you two will be responsible for taking care of these two pandas and see which kind of bamboo they like to eat. From now on, they will go to the city to chop some back every day. Remember, feed them well. If they are raised to death, I will ask you!" Chen Xu pointed to the two servants who had just cut the bamboo and said.
"Don't worry, there are so many bamboos outside the city. As long as we don't eat fish every day, we guarantee that both ends are white... Well, the giant pandas are fat and fat!" The two servants quickly bowed and said.
"Well, this thing is quite gentle. You should pay attention to removing feces and keep it hygienic inside. You should also clean the water and food. You can also feed some meat every few days..."
Giant panda, commonly known as Genggu, is a Chinese specialty.
Since being discovered by Western explorers during World War II, countless Westerners have flocked to Sichuan and Shaanxi to find traces of giant pandas, including the two sons of US President Roosevelt. Many giant pandas were shot and captured and brought back to the West, causing countless sensation. At that time, China was experiencing the War of Resistance Against Japan. China's concept of animal protection was not as good as that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was not until it was almost killed. Western media reported on giant pandas in a long time. The National Government began to issue protection orders. In order to seek support from Western countries, giant pandas began to be given as state gifts. After the anti-Japanese war ended, there was a civil war. Therefore, the protection order was just a piece of paper. After Mr. Mao sent Chiang to Taiwan to fish in depressedly, giant pandas were smuggling and hunting.
The lower part is almost extinct. Although Westerners do not like the red country with sickles and axes, they expressed great enthusiasm for the gentle and beautiful Gungu that originated from China, and they have always been obsessed with it. Therefore, the demand for gift Gungun at the beginning of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Western countries and China has never stopped. The day after Nixon and his wife visited China, they couldn't wait to run to the Beijing Zoo to take a photo with them. The country also gave a pair of giant pandas to their preferences. After the giant pandas arrived in the United States, they were cheered and worshipped by the people, and then they were out of control. Western countries could not bear the temptation and all came over to demand the establishment of diplomatic relations and then asked for gift Gungun. The status of Gungun internationally became popular since then. This is the famous Gungun diplomacy in later history.
Many things that cannot be handled by war and politics are handled by Yungun.
There are rumors in the martial arts world in the future, and those who win the world will win the world.
Amid the roars of orcs who never become slaves, the Genggu finally abandoned the beastly nature of the ancestors in their blood without any stance, and all went to the zoo to live a decadent life of eating, opening their mouths and clothes to reach out. They clearly had the power to slash tigers and wolves, but they had to make a living by rolling around and acting cute. The only skill legend is to hug the thighs.
As a national treasure-level animal, later generations Chen Xu naturally paid to go to the zoo to see it under the sun. He only saw one butt at a time, his body hidden in the bushes, and the other time he saw a whole piece, just hanging on the branch and sleeping soundly. After two disappointing experiences of physical and mental exhaustion, Chen Xu never went to the zoo again.
Later generations once swore that he would raise money and play at home when he was rich, but this hope was slim and the probability that he would one day become the president of the country.
But unexpectedly, I died, died, and traveled through time. Not only did I meet Qin Dada, who is known as the Emperor of Eternal Eternal, but I could actually raise two giant pandas to play with at home.
So Chen Xu was very relieved, and the night was as sweet as a dream. The next morning, just dawn, he put on his clothes and hurried to the panda garden. He saw two big and small rolling ends rolling in the straw shed and sleeping soundly, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t dream yesterday, I really got two giant pandas.
Several little maids followed from behind in a panic. They were sleeping in a daze next door, but they heard the Marquis' room opening, and then they heard the footsteps of Dingdeng's far away. So a group of little maids were so scared that they quickly got up, and they didn't even have time to put on their clothes and followed them. But they found that the Marquis squatted in front of the straw shed, looking at the giant pandas sleeping on both sides with a silly smile.
"Mr. Marquis~, come out quickly, it's dangerous!" Several little maids were so scared that their faces were pale, and they stood outside the wall, covering their mouths and shouted softly.
At this time, the housekeepers, officials and guards of the Hou Mansion all ran over from all rooms. Two servants responsible for taking care of the giant panda also squeezed over. They looked at Chen Xu, who wanted to reach out to touch the giant panda, and ran into the panda circle in horror and set Chen Xu out, and then closed a door made of thick wood with a clang.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? I just want to touch it!" Chen Xu yelled with his eyes.
"Don't, Marquis, this is a wild beast, I can't touch it!" The housekeeper, the manager and the guards and servants of the Marquis's mansion all tried to persuade him with distorted faces.
If Chen Xu was bitten or bitten to death by two giant pandas at home, he would probably be trampled to death by the First Emperor when he went from the housekeeper to the ants.
As a servant, he could not protect his master and should be executed according to the rules. Moreover, Chen Xu is still the most popular marquis in the Qin Dynasty today.
Therefore, surrounded by a group of guards and servants, Chen Xu was isolated outside the giant panda circle. However, with such a good opportunity to get close to the roof, Chen Xu naturally would not give up. He asked someone to chop a bundle of bamboo and use a bamboo pole to wake up the giant panda.
The two lazy bears finally opened their eyes and turned over and rolled down from the soft haystack. They grinned and showed their teeth and grunted at Chen Xu, making a series of barking like cats and dogs to express their impatientness.
Damn, I'm sleeping soundly, you stab me and have a hammer!
"Boll, come and eat~~" Chen Xu excitedly stretched out a few green bamboos from the fence wall, shaking the bamboo leaves.
The two bears were probably kept in the palace for several months and ate meat every day. They probably got tired of it. Therefore, when they saw the bamboo, they stopped screaming. They ran over excitedly and grabbed the bamboo and sat on the ground and started chewing it.
At this time, almost everyone in the mansion surrounded him and gathered outside the wall to watch the marquis feed the two white fences called giant pandas with bamboo.
The two giant pandas seemed not afraid of being alive. They probably had become accustomed to this kind of captive life in the palace. They sat down and ate while lying down, without any hesitation, and everyone in the house was amazed.
Many people have heard of Bai Ju, but just like tigers, the chances of ordinary people seeing it are still very small, especially in big cities like Xianyang. When they see it occasionally, they are basically killed by hunters and carried in.
And these two flower bears actually like to eat bamboo, and they look so cute, they are simply a weirdo of the bear clan.
"Food for food~" Chen Xu shook a green and tender bamboo in his hand to seduce the smaller panda.
