The Great Qin Empire, the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor.
Yan An transformed into a chicken-stealing chicken in Peixian County. Qin law stipulates that anyone who steals more than six hundred and sixty yuan will be tattooed as Cheng Dan - the chicken he stole, Taigong Lu wrote in the report document that it was "worth eight hundred."
At the beginning, you have to go to Lishan Mountain to build the Imperial Tomb.
Fortunately, although Qin's law is strict, there are also big gaps. False accusation, surrender, reduced crime, difference between garden theft and home burglary - these cold provisions are like iron ropes in the eyes of others, but they are keys in his eyes.
From a white man to a county temple official, from building a canal to rectifying a county's water conservancy, from teaching five children how to read until the Mongolian School was designated by the county prime minister as a pilot project for the county - he did every practical task with the standard of "no harm to the civilized people", carving a way out for himself and the leaders of Guizhou around him in the harsh era.
However, as he walked higher, he found that there was more than just a small pavilion chief pressing down on him. The power game in the county and temple, the entanglement of interests between counties, the eyes in Xianyang Palace that can sweep away all the world - his every move has already fallen into a larger chess game.
This is the story of a Qin official.
It is also a story about "how to protect yourself with rules, prove yourself with hard work, and change even a small piece of soil with education in the least free era."
The ancient Qin Dynasty has literary bones as its backbone.
