"According to Duke Ming's instructions, Ping reviewed the transaction records of the county market in the past ten years and the business and travel inspection records of various pavilions and checkpoints in the county office from the chief record office. Among them, the relevant records of copper and ironware are excerpted here.

My Lord, please take a look."

"Well," Dong Yi reached out to take the silk book and asked, "Tianjun, what do you think?"

"Ming Gong, please show me your kindness." Dong Ping said softly.

"Judging from these records, in the past ten years, the largest number of copper and iron wares purchased by households in Yuhua District were arrow clusters, followed by agricultural tools such as kitchen knives, sickles, axes, plowshares, hammers, etc., and then spearheads.

Yuan Tou, then horseshoe, there are also ring-headed knives, swords, lamps, etc."

"Among them, there are no crossbows or armor pieces. The arrowheads are mostly flat, which are longer for cutting and shorter for penetration. They are good for hunting but not good for military formations. Judging from this, the District family may not have any intention of treason.

.”

"Hmph~" Dong Yi snorted coldly, "Are these records detailed and accurate?"

"It has not been verified yet," Dong Ping paused, "Unless it is thoroughly investigated, it is difficult to verify easily."

"If you buy it, you buy it. If you don't buy it, you don't buy it. If you buy it secretly and don't want to be known, then you will be punished."

Is the data in the chief reporter's office detailed and accurate? After nearly thirty years of relatively peaceful times, the number of household registrations and the number of acres of land under the names of the three families of Kou, Liu, and Luo archived in the chief reporter's office have hardly increased——

It would be crazy if this was detailed and accurate.

As for the Ou family circumventing supervision and privately purchasing crossbows, armor plates and other ordnance, that is indeed true.

Speeches such as "Private armored crossbows are tantamount to rebellion", "One armor carries three crossbows, and three armors go to the underworld", etc., have appeared endlessly on the Chinese Internet in later generations - marketing accounts, self-media, and even big Vs all say this

, most authors of time-travel novels also like to quote this setting.

As a high-intensity Internet surfer and an in-depth lover of time-travel literature, Ou Xing was naturally imprinted with his thoughts - after traveling to the end of the Han Dynasty, Ou Xing actually acquiesced to the existence of this "law" and forgot to verify the truth.

Fake.

"It is forbidden for people to carry crossbow armor, and (violators) will migrate to the West Sea." The Xinmang between the two Han Dynasties prohibited private possession of crossbows. Those who violated the order were sent to Qinghai Lake. "Anyone who violates the order privately makes armor, and the horn

A crossbow with a power of more than seven stones and a halberd with more than ten are all abandoned in the market." After the Han Dynasty, Sima Jin also prohibited private possession of armor and powerful crossbows.

However, the two Han Dynasties were rich in military virtue and did not ban armored crossbows.

The example often used by Internet historians to prove that the Han Dynasty also banned armored crossbows - Zhou Yafu's rebellion case, is just a misunderstanding.

Zhou Yafu's son is a bastard. When he bought Zhou Yafu's burial artifacts (500 sets of artifacts and armor), he bullied the mediocre workers and refused to pay them. The mediocre workers' lives were hard and they couldn't survive by working for nothing, so they went to the government to report them.

Zhou Yafu's son, Zhou Yafu, was also implicated. Zhou Yafu wrote a letter to express his grievances, but Emperor Jing rebuked him. Because he was dissatisfied with Emperor Jing's unkindness and the insults of minor officials, Zhou Yafu finally committed suicide. He went on a hunger strike for five days and died of vomiting blood. After his death, the country was eliminated.

.

After Zhou Yafu's death and the fall of the country, Emperor Jing named Zhou Yafu's younger brother Zhou Jian the Marquis of Pingqu, which shows that his family was not implicated. According to Han law, rebellion is a serious crime and requires "the three barbarians". From this we can also know that Zhou Yafu

He was not convicted of treason because of these 500 sets of underworld armor.

Ou Xing wants to do big things. Although he is stamped with ideological stamps, this does not prevent him from doing some small things. For example, the crossbows and armor of Yuhua Tingting Department will be damaged from time to time due to improper storage and wear and tear from training.

Needs to be replaced.

Such small actions are better than nothing. They can only slightly increase the sense of security, but they do not have much practical help. Farming to accumulate wealth, getting an official position, working hard to make progress, promotion to a noble position, and then poaching corners of the empire.

This is the main plan of Ou Xing. Before stealing the country, we should first convert the county into private territory - there are many crossbows in the arsenal.

Kou, Liu, and Luo have not received the education of Internet celebrities, so what they want to do is relatively simple and crude.

"Perhaps due to the influence of the previous barbaric rebellion, starting from the third year of Yanxi (AD 160), the three families of Kou, Liu, and Luo, who were still fearful, purchased a large number of powerful crossbows and armor and other weapons, and gradually raised the walls of the clan land year by year.

"

"The great man in Changsha who launched the barbaric rebellion was none other than Ou Xing's grandfather Ou Zhen," Dong Ping shook his head and said with a smile, "Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. The barbaric chaos has no consequences, and this great man

, but he has lived to this day - this year, he is still in his 70s."

"The most important thing about Shi's visit this time is to offer a birthday gift to the old man. Seventy years old is really rare."

"Seventy, who is my eldest father? He is seventy years old?!" Ou Xing was stunned, "Why didn't I know?"

That's so filial. Ou Xing's words directly burned Guo Shi's CPU and I didn't know how to answer the call.

"Ah, well, actually I don't know how old I am." Ou Zhen took a sip of Yuyefang's new product and continued, "However, according to the county household records, I should be seventy this year."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the poor people did not have the concept of birthdays and birthdays. When Hucao counted the household registration, he would register the newborns born in that year as 1 year old (the concept of the number 0 was still very vague at that time).

Year, just add 1 year. This is the origin of virtual age.

The Chinese New Year is also a time for people to celebrate the New Year. In addition, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the weather turns cooler, it is time to add clothes to the elderly to celebrate the New Year.

In the third year of Yanxi's reign, Ou Zhen led the people to surrender and accepted the imperial government's registration of household registration for the people. When Hu Cao's officials came to register their household registration, they asked about the ages of the barbarians, but they didn't know anything about them. To save trouble, the officials simply guessed.

If they look like toddlers, then the average age is 1 year old, children are 10 years old, young people are 20 years old, middle-aged people are 30 years old, and older people are 40 years old. 50, 60? In those days, the barbarians who lived in the poor mountains and rivers were eating dirt and living.

It won't be that long.

When Ou Zhen was registered, out of respect for the elderly and the age of three, he was added 3 years old. In the third year of Yanxi's reign, Ou Zhen was recorded as 43 years old in the records of Hu Cao in Luo County.

.

27 years have passed, isn’t this year 70?

"I heard that the emperor would give a 70-year-old man a stick with a bird's head. It's very noble."

"Ju Wuhe, the son of Marquis Tiao bought for his father a man who could be buried with five hundred square-armed coffins, a workman's official. He took the suffering from mediocre and gave no money. Yong knew that he had stolen the county official's property, so he went to the top to sue his son in anger.

After hearing the book, officials came up and down. The officials blamed Tiaohou, but Tiaohou was wrong. Emperor Jing scolded him and said, "I don't need it." He summoned the Tingwei. The Tingwei scolded him, "You want to fight against evil?

Yafu said: "The vessels I bought are burial vessels. What is anti-evil?" The official said: "Even if the ruler does not rebel against the earth, he wants to rebel against the earth." The invasion by the officials became more urgent. At the beginning, the officials arrested Tiao Tiao.
