Chapter 286 The first impression of Xianyang for the foreign students
Niu Ba and Ma Jiu were listening to the lecture among a group of servants gathered together. The content was similar to what He Ye and the others were lectured to, but it was more severe. Who let They are servants, born low.
The two of them were chosen as followers to accompany He Ye to study abroad in Xianyang because they had served He Ye for several years and were smart and sensible. They had never made any big mistakes and their looks were decent. It is impossible to find two fools and ugly people to follow Heye to Xianyang.
Ugliness means that you can’t live with the face. Although the Xiongnu is not as powerful as the Great Qin, they still have to do some face-saving work. Perhaps it is because they know that their own family cannot compare with the Great Qin. When facing the Great Qin, the Xiongnu nobles , but pay more attention to face.
As for being stupid, being stupid will easily cause trouble in Da Qin, so you must choose someone who is smarter.
The servants of other Xiongnu students studying abroad were also selected almost according to this standard.
Niu Ba and Ma Jiu were listening to the Xiongnu officials telling them what to pay attention to in Da Qin, and telling them not to cause trouble. If they committed crimes, they would be severely punished. However, they did not feel as much aggrieved and humiliated as He Ye did, and they were very calm. .
The Huns are the Huns of Chanyu, the Huns of the chiefs, and the Huns of the young masters. They have little to do with them, servant slaves. Maybe after arriving in Xianyang, their lives will be slightly better.
Thinking about this, Niu Ba and Ma Jiu had some expectations. Just a little, not much. Xianyang should be just a larger royal court, and it would not change much for them.
Since there haven’t been many changes, should they be servants or servants, slaves or slaves? The Qin people may even bully them because they are servants, so how much more can be expected?
It's impossible for the people of Qin to be kind enough to let them get rid of their status as servants and slaves, right?
The Qin people say that the Xiongnu are both part of China and are brothers. So the Qin people must be on the side of the Shanyu, the leader and the young masters. How can they still speak to slaves like them?
Only the Chanyu, the headman and the young masters are the "brothers" among the people of Qin. The servants and slaves are definitely not included among them. No one will regard cattle, horses and livestock as brothers.
The training was over and there was no talking all night. The team set off again in the early morning of the next day and arrived outside Xianyang City near noon.
Looking at the city not far away bathed in the sunshine, the Huns who saw Xianyang City for the first time were shocked. It was worthy of being the capital of the Qin Dynasty. It was better than their royal court and the ones they had seen along the way. The city must be majestic. The tall city walls make people feel safe and secure at first glance.
There were many cars, horses and pedestrians on the road leading to the city. It can be said that people were coming and going, which showed that the city was very attractive, so there were so many people coming and going.
As the team approached Xianyang City, even though the strong man told them not to look around, talk nonsense, or move around, the teenagers in the carriage secretly opened the windows and looked at everything outside the window.
The people on the chariots and horses and on the roads were all Qin people, but they were different from the Qin people they saw along the way. Most of these people were better dressed.
The Qin people also noticed the envoys and recognized that they were not Qin people. They looked at them as boldly and curiously as the Qin people villagers, and gave instructions and discussions to the team.
He Ye noticed that a young Qin man wearing a sword pulled out his sword and shouted something, which attracted the attention of the nearby Qin people. Those Qin people also shouted along with the young Qin man.
Despite the language barrier, He Ye believed that what the young Qin people shouted was related to them.
Dare to talk about people from other countries at will, this is the self-confidence brought by the country's strength, unlike when they were repeatedly warned not to look around, talk nonsense, or move around, for fear of offending the people of Qin. He Ye couldn't help but feel envious again. It would be great if he could grow up in Qin and be a Qin person!
Of course, if He Ye really wants to become an ordinary Qin person, he probably won't do it. What he wants is to become a powerful Qin person.
After a series of inspections, the team was allowed to enter the city, and finally arrived at the capital of Qin. The foreign students from the Xiongnu ignored the instructions one by one and came to the window to look at everything in the city curiously.
When the Xiongnu envoy came last time, some changes had taken place in Xianyang City. For example, there were not so many shops before, but now there are many more. There are shouts and cries, selling all kinds of items that are difficult to see in the Xiongnu.
The streets have also become cleaner and tidier. Many Qin people are walking around on the streets. Some houses still have flags hanging on them. Heye and the others know that it is the national flag of Great Qin.
There are Qin soldiers patrolling the streets, but the people of Qin are not afraid. They seem to be used to it. There are also some "wooden boxes" set up on the street. I don't know what they are used for. They can occasionally be seen. They went to some strange houses built with characters they couldn't understand, and people from Qin came and went.
Different from the Royal Court, and different from the Qin cities seen on the road, there is a feeling that He Ye can't explain. This kind of Qin capital is very special!
But no matter what, this city is the most prosperous and prosperous city that Heye has ever seen, and he can't help but imagine living in it.
According to the educational system arranged by the Qin people, they will study and live here for three to five years, and there is still enough time to get to know this capital of Qin.
He Ye noticed that there was a high platform in front of him, with "wooden signs" erected on it. Standing Qin people in official uniforms were talking about something, and many Qin people were listening below.
If He Ye could understand the language of Da Qin, he would know that the Qin officials were talking about the demolition of certain houses in the city, and mentioned which households they were.

This is not the first wave of demolition in Xianyang City!
There is no way, Xianyang will become the political, cultural, and economic center of Qin, and even because of Li Nian, many industries will be located in Xianyang.
What's more, in the minds of Li Nian and the First Emperor, Xianyang City was not only the central city of the Qin Dynasty, but also an international city in this era of the world, just like Chang'an in the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Of course the original Xianyang City could not afford it. It had to be demolished and expanded. Many places had to be re-planned. The expansion of Li Nian's Liuying Palace area was precisely due to the demolition of a number of houses in the city.
Because of the reputation of the First Emperor and Li Nian among the people of Qin, the demolition was carried out relatively smoothly. In the words of today's Xianyang people, if we old Qin people don't support His Majesty, who will?
But the demolition cannot be completed all at once. It is easy to demolish, but it requires manpower, material resources, and time to build after demolition. Therefore, it was divided into several batches. Now the Qin official on the high platform announced These are the new batch of houses that will be demolished.
Li Nian planned Xianyang based on the cities of later generations. Of course, due to the technology of this era, it was impossible to achieve the same results as later cities in many aspects.
Passing another place surrounded by Qin people, He Ye saw that it was still a high platform with "wooden signs" on it. There were many words on the wooden signs that he could not understand.
