Zhu Qizhen seemed to have known that he would die sooner or later, so he simply gave up struggling and lived a very quiet life.
Zhou Jia was quite interested in the weird things in the Zhu family. Basically, whenever something big happened, Miaomiao would take the initiative to tell her and invite her to be the spectator.
Especially Zhu Houzhao, Zhou Jia and he had already become a pair of close friends in private, and they had revealed all the gossips of the past five thousand years.
"Let's not dwell on that anymore. Let's get back to Ying Shixi. After he abolished the practice of human sacrifice, Qin's population grew. Furthermore, he moved the capital to Liyang in 384 BC. In 379 BC, he began promoting the county system. Furthermore, he also did one thing: reorganizing the household registration system."
She took out her ID card.
"In modern society, traveling is very convenient due to convenient transportation, but you still need to use your real name to buy tickets. The most convenient way to check your household registration is with your ID card. Without it, you can't take a single step, and if you don't have one, you're considered an illegal resident. It was very troublesome for you in your time, as it is for us now.
Basically, when we talk about household registration, it refers to each individual or a family.
Duke Xian of Qin reorganized households into five units, abolishing the distinction between the "people" living in the city and the "wild people" outside the city. People in the same five units supervised each other. Does this sound like something you've heard before?
You are right to be familiar with it. If you open the history book, you will find that in Shang Yang's Reforms, there was a rule that five families formed a five, ten families formed a ten. I forgot the next sentence, but the general meaning was that they supervised each other, otherwise everyone would be punished together.
In addition to these political affairs, he actually also achieved great success in military affairs.
The Qin army once fought against the coalition forces of Wei and Han and defeated the coalition forces. In the subsequent wars against Wei, it also won many victories.
In 362 BC, the Qin army attacked Shaoliang of Wei again. Not only did the Qin army win this battle, it also captured the crown prince and Gongsun Cuo of Wei and captured Pangcheng, which is southeast of today's Hancheng.
However, heroes also have to come to an end. In the same year, Ying Shixi died and was given the title "Xian".
If Shang Yang's reforms laid the foundation for the Qin Dynasty's war, then Ying Shixi can be said to have laid the foundation for Shang Yang's reforms. Although when we talk about the Qin Dynasty, we refer to either Ying Zheng or Ying Quliang and Shang Yang who carried out reforms together, Ying Shixi's status as a founder is equally important.
That's all for today. It's almost time. Let's go see a movie. Tomorrow we'll talk about Ying Shixi's son, one of the protagonists of Shang Yang's reforms: Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang.
Speaking of Ying Quliang, Zhou Jia inevitably recalled the image of Ying Shixi in The Qin Empire that he had seen before. It could really be seen that he was a man of iron will, and it was hard not to like him.
Ying Shixi recalled his past and sighed, "Fortunately, it's all over."
If there had been any mistake during those years of escape, he might not have survived. But now everything is going well. His son is doing well, and his future great-great-grandsons are doing well too. It's just that hateful guy named Hu Hai. If it weren't for him, the Qin Dynasty might have continued for a few more generations.
Looking back on his life, Ying Shixi himself had no regrets. Thinking of this, he smiled calmly, "Hahaha, good, it also has a beginning and an end."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Ying Quliang also smiled a little more.
The cinema was not far from where they were. Zhou Jia said, "As I told you before, don't make too much noise in public places, and don't leave your seat at will, so as not to disturb others watching the movie."
Everyone, big and small, nodded. They were not fools.
When they arrived at the cinema, Zhou Jia went to get the tickets, while the little ones couldn't take their eyes off the claw machines in the cinema.
"Want to play?"
The little ones all nodded with their eyes wide open.
Many children under the sky also pointed at their favorite dolls on the screen and told their parents that they wanted them. It was okay for children from wealthy families. If they couldn’t find the corresponding plush dolls, their parents would just buy them other novel gadgets. But it was different for children from poor families.
The younger one said he wanted it, but his parents just said it was a waste of money and that they had no money. The older one knew his family situation well, so he just took a look in amazement and quickly looked away to continue working.
These are not what they can imagine.
"This thing isn't easy to play with. It can be set up, but the chances of catching it are slim. I've never…" She paused, skipping the topic. "Here, try it. Shake the little handle. When you see the claws are almost hooking the doll, tap the handle."
Several of the little guys immediately tried it out. Liu Chan was also curious, but he stood next to Zhuge Liang without moving. Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Go and play."
"Thank you, Father Prime Minister!"
Liu Chan went to have fun happily, and Zhuge Liang still had a smile on his face.
"You're not going?"
Ying Zheng looked at Zhou Jia, who was sitting on a chair and staring at the children.
Doesn't this little girl love furry things? There are a lot of stuffed bears and other stuffed animals in the room.
Zhou Jia shook her head, looking a little depressed.
Ying Zheng was not someone who could comfort others, so he didn't say much and continued to observe the buildings of the studio.
The little ones are having so much fun, and every time the doll is just a little bit away from coming out. It’s really frustrating!
"Let's go, the movie is about to start." Hearing the ticket checking, she pulled the children above her into the theater. Along the way, Long Bao didn't say a word, with an unconvinced look on his face, and walked forward angrily.
The others were also dissatisfied in their own ways. Zhou Jia laughed and said, "That can be set by humans. It's normal that they can't catch it."
"You are very experienced." Che Bao was dejected, and Zhou Jia said nothing.
