Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"Can't find anyone?"

Hearing the news brought back by Xiong Da, Mo Jun was slightly surprised and said: "Now that the spring planting period has passed, why can't we recruit workers? Is it because of the wages?"

Xiong Da shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not about the wages, but because some people don't allow the farmers here to take over the work privately. I've already asked that all major projects in Qunshan County must be approved by people from the 'Lu family'. Recruit workers.”

Mo Jun narrowed his eyes and said, "The Lu family?"

Xiong Da replied: "This is the largest landlord family in Qunshan County. It is said that the Lu family once established rules in Qunshan County. All work in Qunshan County must obtain their consent before work can begin. .”

Mo Jun chuckled and said: "Haha~~ It's interesting. I didn't expect that there are already intermediaries now! In that case, let's go and have a look at the 'Lu Clan'!"

······

Half an hour later.

"Brother, we are from out of town and want to build a mansion outside the county town. I wonder what is said here?"

"Coming from out of town?"

Among the mountains and counties, Mo Jun followed the instructions of the locals and found a tooth shop.

There was no one in the dental shop. There was only a sharp-mouthed man with a mustache sitting behind the counter, sorting out the books. When Mo Jun walked into the dental shop, no one greeted him.

It wasn't until Mr. Mo opened his mouth to explain his purpose that the sharp-mouthed man raised his head and looked at Mr. Mo casually, and then said slowly: "How big of a mansion do you want to build? Where should it be?"

Mo Jun replied: "About five miles away from Qunshan County, I want to buy a hilltop and build a big house."

Hearing this, the sharp-mouthed man's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be somewhat interested at last, and asked: "You want to buy a hilltop, which hilltop is it?"

Mo Jun said: "It's the Huitou Mountain."

"Huitou Mountain?"

Hearing this, the sharp-mouthed man was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he said in a pinched tone: "It turns out to be 'Huitou Mountain'! The area of ​​​​that mountain is not small. If you want to build a mansion there, the labor cost will be very high." Just give me thirty thousand gold coins!"

"Thirty thousand?"

Hearing this amount, even Mo Jun couldn't help but be startled.

Then he subconsciously said: "Isn't this price a little too high? Although the area of ​​'Huitou Mountain' is not small, the maximum cost of building a mansion there is 5,000 gold coins."

"I also have a small business outside of Hanzhong. The shopkeeper must not deceive me!"

The sharp-mouthed man sneered and said sarcastically: "Five thousand gold coins is just the price from other places. Now that you have come to this mountain county, everything must be obeyed by our "Lu family". And I am not afraid to tell you, thirty thousand The gold coins are just labor expenses. If you want to build a house on Huitou Mountain, you have to buy the land deed of Huitou Mountain from us!"

Mo Jun was startled again and said: "The land deed, as far as I know, no one has bought Huitou Mountain yet. It is still a wasteland. How can there be any mention of the land deed?"

The sharp-mouthed man sarcastically said: "Yes! It is true that no one has bought Huitou Mountain now, but if you want to build a house there, you must buy the land title from us."

Mo Jun said angrily: "Your Excellency is so overbearing and ignores the law. Aren't you afraid that I will take you to the government with a complaint?"

"Pfft~~"

As soon as Mr. Mo finished speaking, the sharp-mouthed man suddenly laughed out loud. He looked at Mr. Mo as if he were looking at a clown and mocked: "The government? If you want to sue, just go ahead and sue! But don't blame me for not doing so." Let me remind you, if you step out of this door this time, the next time you walk in, it won’t be at this price.”

Mo Jun said angrily: "You, just wait for me. I don't believe that this large Qunshan County can't find dozens of workers."

The sharp-mouthed man said arrogantly: "Please, walk out of this gate. If you can find a worker from Qunshan County, I will cut off his head and give it to you."

Mo Jun walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

But when he walked out of the tooth shop, all the anger on his face disappeared in an instant.

"Sir, how is the situation?"

Seeing Mr. Mo walking out, Xiong Da immediately greeted him.

Mo Jun glanced at Xiong Da, smiled and said, "I saw some very interesting things."

After saying that, Mo Jun suddenly asked: "Xiong Da, what do you think evil people are afraid of?"

Xiong Da was stunned for a moment and could not answer.

Mo Jundao: "The thing that evil people are least afraid of is 'good people', because 'good people' have too many weaknesses and are too easy to be exploited. So conversely, what 'evil people' are most afraid of are 'evil people' who are worse than themselves." '."

"After all, only magic can defeat magic!"

In fact, Mr. Mo had no intention of solving the problem of local nobles in Hanzhong now. Originally, he wanted to build his own house first, and then find some free time to slowly liquidate it.

Looking at the results now, if he doesn't get rid of these guys, he might not even be able to build his own house.

That being the case.

Lord Mo could only reluctantly solve the troubles of these local nobles first.

"Let's go! Go to the Sheriff's Mansion."

After getting on the carriage, Mo Jun ordered.

Hearing this, Xiong Da seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously said: "Boss, let me go and take care of things first and prepare to deal with it afterwards..."

"return!"

Before Xiong Da finished speaking, Mo Jun stopped Xiong Da and said, "What happened? As you said, we are supposed to be 'evil people' and 'villains' this time. Have you seen that Does it take so much trouble for a villain to get things done?"

"Besides, now is no longer the time to be in Nan County. There is no need to be as sneaky as that time."

Hearing this, Xiong Da didn't say anything, but Yuenv and Zhu Yeqing looked at Mo Jun strangely.

A person who has been enshrined by the people in Nanjun now actually takes the initiative to say that he wants to be a 'villain' and a 'villain'. No matter how you hear this, it is a bit weird.

The Sheriff's Mansion is also in the county town of Qunshan, not far from where Mo Jun and the others are now.

But it was a busy day today.

So when Mo Jun and others felt outside the county governor's mansion, the sky was gradually getting darker.

Under night.

Mo Jun and others were too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly used Qinggong and body skills to sneak into the Hanzhong County Governor's Mansion quietly.

······

It's been a busy day.

Chen Jinghui, the governor of Hanzhong County, returned to his room to rest.

However, the moment he just walked into the room, he saw a figure wearing coarse linen clothes appearing in his room, with his back to him, playing with an antique on the bookshelf.

Seeing this figure, Chen Jinghui was startled and was about to shout.

But before he could open his mouth, suddenly, the door behind him closed automatically, and then several more figures appeared in Chen Jinghui's sight.

The formidable aura immediately caused cold sweat to break out on Chen Jinghui's forehead. He wisely gave up the idea of ​​asking for help and said slowly:

"Everyone, I wonder why you come to me? If it's to ask for money, I can offer you tens of thousands of gold. I just ask you not to hurt the lives of my wife and children."

"Ten thousand gold? Governor Chen is so generous!"

The moment Chen Jinghui finished speaking, the figure who had been facing away from him and playing with an antique with one hand finally spoke.

The tone of this man's words sounded a little strange, but Chen Jinghui didn't pay too much attention at first.

Until the figure put down the antiques and slowly turned around.

In an instant.

Chen Jinghui's expression instantly changed from frightened to horrified, his pupils shrank sharply, and his face quickly lost color.

The next second.

His knees weakened, and he suddenly fell to his knees, saying with a trembling voice: "Holy, Holy... I will see Lord Shengping!"

The current portrait of Mr. Mo may not have reached the hands of low-level officials, but as a county governor, and also the governor of Hanzhong County adjacent to Xianyang, it is natural for Chen Jinghui not to know what Mr. Mo looks like.

······And his deeds.

Mr. Mo came to the desk and sat down. Xiong Da made him a pot of tea. Mr. Mo took a sip and then slowly said: "Chief Chen, you have managed my fiefdom very well! Do you know? ? Today, I originally planned to build a new house outside this Qunma County, but someone actually offered me thirty thousand gold coins, and that was just for labor costs."

"It seems that my fiefdom is still very rich!"

Hearing these words, Chen Jinghui's face turned pale and he felt like his whole body was about to burst.

grass!

What the hell kind of idiot did this?

"Holy... Lord Shengping, this is all a misunderstanding. Please listen to my explanation."

Chen Jinghui reluctantly defended himself.

Lord Mo nodded and said, "Okay! I also want to know where you, a county guard whose annual salary is only a few hundred dan, got 10,000 gold coins."

"Come on, please start your explanation."

Mo Jun stretched out his hand to signal Chen Jinghui to speak casually.

Chen Jinghui couldn't explain it at first, but now as Mo Jun said these words, it suddenly became even more unclear.

Chen Jinghui, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating profusely, but at this moment, Mo Jun quietly gave Yue Nu a wink.

After receiving the instruction, Yue Nu quietly made a seal with one hand.

The next second.

I heard Mo Jun suddenly say: "Chen Jinghui, raise your head."

Chen Jinghui, who was already in a state of confusion, suddenly heard Lord Mo's order and raised his head subconsciously. At the same time, Yue Nu made a "mind-confused spell", and Chen Jinghui's eyes quickly lost their sparkle.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mo Jun decisively asked: "Tell me! Chen Jinghui, why do you want to collude with the local nobles in Hanzhong?"

There was a trace of struggle in Chen Jinghui's eyes, but he was suppressed by Yue Nu in an instant. He replied expressionlessly: "I didn't want to at first, but I have no choice. The clans behind these people are too deeply rooted in Hanzhong." , if I don’t choose to cooperate, I won’t be able to hold my position as county governor.”

After hearing Chen Jinghui's heartfelt words after being controlled by the 'mind-bewitching technique', Mo Jun was silent for a moment, and then motioned to Yue Nu to undo the 'mind-bewitching technique'.

When Yuenv unlocked the 'mind charm', Chen Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize what he had said, and his face suddenly turned pale.

But while feeling panic, Chen Jinghui also felt inexplicably relaxed. It was like a shackle that had been locking him had finally been released.

Chen Jinghui closed his eyes and prepared to accept the final trial.

Unexpectedly.

In the next second, I heard Mo Jun say: "Give you a chance to make meritorious service. You should record the entire population list of Hanzhong. In three days, I want to see all the landowners in Hanzhong who own more than a thousand acres of fertile land." The nobles all appeared in the governor's mansion."

"If this matter is done well, I can let you continue to sit down as the county guard."

Chen Jinghui was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Lord Shengping, who was already known as the 'villain butcher' among the officials of the Qin Dynasty, would let him go so easily.

You know, when he was in Nanjun, he killed twenty-seven noble families in a row for three days and three nights just to provide disaster relief. He was a ruthless man without blinking an eye!

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing Chen Jinghui standing there in a daze, Mo Jun raised his eyebrows and said.

Chen Jinghui immediately became excited and said quickly: "No, I am willing, very willing."
