Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 126 Why make so much money again?

"Quick, move faster."

"Put away the cloth and food first, and throw away all the messy things."

"Go and get the carriage ready. We will leave immediately after the goods are loaded onto the carriage."

······

In the mansions of the Lu family in Hanzhong County and Qunshan County, countless servants came and went to carry items one after another onto the carriage.

Lu Boli on the side was giving instructions with an anxious look on his face, a thin layer of sweat oozing out from his forehead.

And just when the entire Lu family's property was loaded onto the carriage and the motorcade was about to leave through the side door, suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

The gate of the Lu family suddenly collapsed, and amid the flying dust, at least dozens of people were seen pouring into the Lu Mansion, and at the back of the crowd, two figures, one large and one small, were slowly approaching Lu Boli.

When he saw the true faces of these two people, Lu Boli, who was already sweating profusely, suddenly turned pale.

"Clan Chief Lu, where are you going in such a hurry today?"

The two people who appeared in front of Lu Boli were Xiong Daxiong Er. Xiong Da held a piece of silk in one hand and gently dispersed the dust haze around him. He looked at Lu Boli in front of him with cold eyes and said.

"It turns out to be Mr. Xiong Da and Mr. Xiong Er. To be honest, one of my distant relatives will have his sixtieth birthday soon. I am rushing to pay my respects to him!"

"Best birthday?"

Xiong Da glanced at the twenty or so carriages behind Lu Boli, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "It seems that the status of the elder, Patriarch Lu, is really extraordinary! Just to celebrate his birthday, he actually has to ride on the entire continent. All the family property?"

Facing Xiong Da's gaze, more and more beads of sweat oozed from Lu Boli's forehead.

finally.

Just when Lu Boli's mind was about to collapse, he heard a sudden roar: "Do it!"

The voice rang out.

I saw two black shadows shooting out from both sides of Xiong Da at the same time, each holding a crescent-like sharp blade, attacking Xiong Da at an astonishing speed.

However, facing such an attack, Xiong Da didn't even look at it until the sharp blade came three feet in front of him. Xiong Er, who had been standing behind Xiong Da, suddenly moved.

No fancy tricks at all.

Xiong Er, who was more than two meters tall, raised his arms and punched the two attackers with fists as big as casseroles.

The punch has not yet arrived.

The strong fisting wind had already caused the expressions of the two attackers to change drastically.

But at this time, even if the two of them wanted to retreat, it was already too late.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Accompanied by two punches that sounded almost simultaneously, in just an instant, the black shadow that had just attacked like a swift leopard flew back at a faster speed.

After landing.

The two attackers fell heavily to the ground like rag sacks. A huge dent appeared in their chests, and blood flowed out of their seven orifices as if they were free.

In an instant, the two of them lost their breath.

"So weak!"

Withdrawing his fist, Xiong Er scratched his head and couldn't help but muttered.

Seeing that the guard he hired with a high salary was beaten to death by the monster opposite with just one punch, Lu Boli was so frightened that his legs went weak, and his eyes were quickly filled with despair.

Xiong Da glanced at him coldly, and then uttered one word: "Kill!"

······

Three days later.

The news that the Lu family, the Jing family, the Sun family, three of the five old nobles in Hanzhong County, and a total of 63 other noble families, large and small, had their homes confiscated and exterminated, quickly triggered a catastrophe throughout Hanzhong. earthquake.

The rest of the surviving landowners and nobles, including the 'Yan clan', all closed their doors tightly after learning the news, fearing that they would be implicated due to some misunderstanding.

This massacre can be called a repeat of the ‘South County Massacre’.

After this massacre.

The entire Hanzhong County landowners and nobles not only truly understood Lord Mo's power, but also felt his ruthlessness firsthand.

Not long ago.

When many landowners and nobles in Hanzhong County learned that Lord Chang Wen failed to sue Lord Mo and had his 'salt rights' taken away by him, many people had already guessed that Lord Mo might take action against those in Hanzhong County who colluded with Lord Chang Wen. Carry out revenge.

That's why Lu Boli and others hurriedly packed their luggage and planned to escape from Hanzhong overnight.

But no one expected that Mr. Mo's revenge would come so quickly and so cruelly.

If the time for transmitting information is removed, the interval between when Lord Mo's men receive the news and when all the major landowners and nobles are slaughtered is not even half a day.

For a while.

All the surviving landowners and nobles in Hanzhong County fell into a state of panic.

However, the culprit behind all of this was feeling a headache when he looked at the mountains of gold and silver jewelry, real estate title deeds, pearls and jade, and antique vases in front of him.

"Why did you make so much money again?"

Mo Jun pinched his eyebrows gently and felt quite a headache.

After you have enough money, it really just becomes a number. For Mr. Mo now, if the gold and silver jewelry and real money in front of him were not spent, they would be no different from a pile of scrap metal.

Chen Jinghui, who was standing next to Mr. Mo, heard his muttering, and the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched violently.

Listen.

Is this still human language?

What does it mean to make so much money again? ’, is it possible that you made a lot of money before?

oh!

This guy seems to have made a lot of money before.

That's okay.

"Xiong Da, you first select some antique jewelry, pearls and emeralds, and put them into the Chamber of Commerce's warehouse to serve as the Chamber of Commerce's heritage."

"yes!"

Xiong Da nodded in agreement.

"Governor Chen, I will allocate another 50,000 gold coins to you, so you can hire some craftsmen to build more waterwheels, curved shaft plows, and rice threshers. With the extra money, you can buy a few more oxen. I will rent it to the common people of Hanzhong County. It doesn’t matter if the rent is cheaper.”

"Thank you, Lord Shengping."

Hearing Mr. Mo's words, Chen Jinghui immediately became energetic and hurriedly leaned over to salute.

no doubt.

This time it is one of the benefits distributed by Lord Mo to the people of Hanzhong County.

In fact, Mr. Mo himself now doesn't know how to spend so much money.

But anyway.

In the era of small-scale peasant economy, it is never wrong to grow more food.

Mo Jun then said: "In addition, I have already found the collaborators for the construction of the mountain and the road. You will go and hand over the work with them after a while, and then you can start to advertise for workers in Hanzhong County."

Hearing this, Chen Jinghui was stunned again.

He had heard some news about 'opening mountains and building roads' from Lord Mo before. To be honest, Chen Jinghui thought Lord Mo was just joking at the time.

After all, building a road from Qinling Mountains directly to Bashu is such a huge project.

Such a path.

Even if tens of thousands of people start work at the same time, it is estimated that it will take several years to see results.

Moreover, the amount of money invested in it is an astronomical figure. Even with Mo Jun's wealth, it is impossible to support the construction of such a road.

But he didn't expect that Mo Jun was not only serious, but also found a collaborator in such a short period of time.

This time.

Even Chen Jinghui had to accept the ability of this Lord Shengping.

"I promise that there will never be any mistakes in this matter. If there is any accident, Chen Jing will come back and see you."

This was the first time that Chen Jinghui made such a statement that was comparable to a 'military order' in front of Lord Mo.

No wonder he was so excited.

After all, as the governor of Hanzhong County, Chen Jinghui also knew very well how great the benefits would be to Hanzhong County once there was a road connecting Qinling Mountains and Bashu.

In the past, when Chen Jinghui was still a good official, it was not that he had never tried to develop Hanzhong and improve the quality of life of local civilians.

But at that time.

On the one hand, there is the obstruction from the local old aristocratic forces.

On the one hand, the existence of the Qinling Mountains greatly limits Hanzhong's ability to 'ask for help' from outside the country.

But now, all the old aristocratic forces that were overbearing and greedy in the past have been killed to pieces by Lord Mo, an even more overbearing and unreasonable lord, and they no longer pose a threat.

Now the only restriction on the development of Hanzhong is the Qinling Mountains.

However, Lord Mo did not pay attention to the "military order" issued by Chen Jinghui, because the plan to open mountains and build roads was the result of the cooperation between Lord Mo and Ying Zheng, the Meng clan, and the Wang clan.

Under the circumstances, the chances of something going wrong with the plan are slim to none.

What's more, even if an accident does occur.

Chen Jinghui's head alone is not qualified to take on this responsibility.

·····

"As for the remaining property title deeds and the food, let's keep them for now!"

Mo Jun thought about the remaining assets for a long time, but couldn't think of a reasonable way to use them, so he had to keep them and make plans later.

After simply arranging some of the property obtained from the house confiscation and extermination, everyone in the Mo Mansion quickly fell into all kinds of busyness according to the plan formulated by Lord Mo.

Not a few days passed.

Ying Zheng, the Wang family, and the Meng family sent money, manpower, and material resources to open mountains and build roads.

After receiving the news.

Chen Jinghui immediately stepped forward to hand over the work to the three parties, and then began to issue recruitment notices throughout Hanzhong County.

Compared to this time.

Whether it was the previous construction of [Xinmo Mansion], [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce Headquarters], [breeding farms], or digging of [reservoirs] in various places, it can only be regarded as a small effort.

Because in order to quickly build the road between Qinling and Hanzhong this time, Chen Jing Huiguang was the first batch of workers to be recruited and directly recruited 10,000 people.

This unprecedented scale of recruitment made the whole Hanzhong excited in an instant.

······

······

at the same time.

Just when Mo Jun's Hanzhong County was in full swing and making a fuss over the matter of 'opening mountains and building roads'.

the other side.

Meng Ao, who had been preparing for many days, finally led an army of 200,000 to the expedition.
