Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Tian Guang's words had just left his mouth.

The atmosphere in the entire lobby suddenly became quiet for a moment.

Mo Jun squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at the rough-looking peasant hero in front of him, but his eyes occasionally revealed a hint of strange glint, but he did not respond immediately.

Nowadays, the relationship between the seven countries of the Central Plains is very delicate.

Although in fact, the seven countries are now eager to beat each other's cocks out, but on the surface, the seven countries still have to follow the corresponding etiquette.

Because going back five hundred years, the seven countries today all had the same origin during the Zhou Dynasty.

Everyone was once a feudal minister of Emperor Zhou.

And the people of Li in the entire Central Plains were once subjects of the Zhou Dynasty. In other words, if the people of the Seven Kingdoms went back several dozen generations, they might all still be one family.

Therefore.

The farmer Xiakui who is now in the Chu Kingdom openly asks Mo Jun, a minister of the Qin Kingdom, to obtain [the first generation of improved rice seeds] to save the people of Chu and the other five countries.

From a purely etiquette and moral perspective, there really is no problem at all.

Because people all over the world were once ‘one family’, it is normal to share good things.

But there is one thing.

If this were said by people from other schools of thought, it would be normal.

But these words came from the mouth of the peasant hero "Tian Guang" in front of him, so there was a slight problem.

After all, others may not know it yet, but Mr. Mo knows very well that the farm family at this period has been hooked up with Lord Changping. The reason why the farm family has developed so rapidly in these years is largely due to the work of Lord Changping and the Chu royal family.

So if it were the six-fingered black man of the Mo family who came to ask Mr. Mo for [the first generation of improved rice seeds], Mr. Mo might feel that he was really doing it for the common people.

But since these words came from Tian Guang's mouth, then how much of these words were for the world and how much were for Chu.

There is a question mark.

"Mr. Tian, ​​this matter is really difficult for me to handle!" After a while, Mr. Mo said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Why? Nowadays, the 'new grain seeds' created by Lord Shengping have been harvested in various places in the Qin State. Even if only a part is used as rice seed, it will be enough to supply the people of the world. This is an act of immeasurable merit. Please also ask Lord Shengping I advise the King of Qin to donate generously to save the people of the world from the fire and water. The people of the six countries will definitely be grateful to the King of Qin and Lord Shengping."

After saying that, Tian Guang bowed deeply to Mr. Mo and pleaded with his face.

Seeing Tian Guang's move, Mr. Mo, who was sitting on the main seat, had no expression on his face, while the Six-fingered Black Man and Fu Nian beside him could not help but frown.

Although the two of them came today with some thoughts of asking for 'new grain seeds', they only thought of asking for advice and did not think of taking over Lord Mo.

But now Tian Guang's behavior is a bit excessive.

Tian Guang's current actions seemed to be pleading, but in fact, his words had a hint of 'threat', intentionally or unintentionally.

After all, the people who open their mouths are the people, and the people who keep their mouths shut are the people.

If Mr. Mo agrees, it will be a great merit. But if Mr. Mo doesn't agree, is it possible that he is the culprit who has framed the world's people in misery?

Compared to Fu Nian.

The six-fingered black man who was born in the Mo family has a more 'chivalrous' spirit.

So when he saw that Tian Guang, a dignified peasant hero, actually wanted to use the righteousness of the world to carry out this persecution, he was about to speak up and complain.

However, at this moment, he saw Mr. Mo on the throne taking a sip of tea, looking at Tian Guang and saying slowly: "Xia Kui, please don't misunderstand me. The reason why I said this matter is difficult to handle has nothing to do with the current King of Qin." How important it is."

When Tian Guang heard this, he immediately raised his head and said, "Then I wonder what other difficulties Lord Shengping has?"

Lord Mo glanced at him lightly, and then said word by word: "The reason why I don't want to give away the 'new grain seeds' is simply because I don't want to do so, that's all."

As soon as these words came out.

Tian Guang's originally sincere expression suddenly solidified.

Fu Nian and Six-fingered Black Man on the side were also stunned.

At this moment, I only heard Mr. Mo continue to say: "I am afraid that I don't know something, so when I created this [first generation improved rice seed] from the beginning, my purpose was just to protect our people of Qin. , As for the life and death of the people in other countries, I don’t have that much free time to care about it.”

"As for such a big thing as saving the world, Lord Mo doesn't have that ability, so if Xiakui wants to save the world, he'd better find another way to do it!"

After Mo Jun finished speaking, the air in the entire lobby became noticeably quiet for several seconds.

Fu Nian and the Six-fingered Black Man on the side widened their eyes and looked at Lord Mo blankly, feeling as if they had re-recognized the 'Sheng Ping Lord' in front of them.

After all, along their journey, Lord Mo's image in the eyes of the Hanzhong people was almost on par with that of a saint.

But now I can see it with my own eyes.

The 'saint' halo that Mr. Mo had established in the hearts of the two people was suddenly shattered to pieces.

Tian Guang was obviously confused.

This... this script is wrong!

Logically speaking, shouldn't people like Mr. Mo who are willing to promote the 'new grain' for free be compassionate people who don't see the suffering in the world?

Why is this Lord Shengping's character so 'down-to-earth'?

A moment later.

He showed a bit of sadness and said: "Does Lord Shengping really have the heart to see the people of the world in trouble, the people in war, and the people in disasters, and remain indifferent?"

Mr. Mo nodded and replied calmly: "I can't bear it! After all, they are not my subjects of Qin, so why can't I bear it?"

After saying that, Lord Mo looked at Tian Guang with a look of "you are very strange", and continued: "And the people of the other six countries are in trouble, shouldn't they be left to the kings and officials of their countries to solve it? Otherwise, they can rely on their own power to resolve it. Why enjoy the support of the people of the country?"

These words immediately confused Tian Guangqian again.

On the other hand, when Fu Nian and Six-Fingered Black Knight heard what Lord Mo said, their eyes showed a bit of contemplation.

Because they also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Mr. Mo said.

Nowadays, the upper-class nobles of various countries enjoy the support of the people at the bottom. If they cannot provide even the most basic protection, then what is the meaning of the existence of the upper-class nobles of various countries?

Damn it!

It was okay if Mr. Mo didn't think about these words carefully, but once they thought about it deeply, Fu Nian and Six-fingered Black Man instantly broke into cold sweats. He couldn't help but look at Mr. Mo in surprise.

After all, the current philosophy of most kings of the Seven Kingdoms is that the king gives the people a chance to survive, so the people should be grateful and reverent to the king's power.

This is rule from the top down.

However, what Mr. Mo said today has completely subverted the view of governance in this era.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. The words of Lord Shengping are so similar to those of my uncle."

Fu Nian suddenly remembered the teachings of his teacher Xunzi. Combined with what Mo Jun said now, he suddenly found that the concepts of his uncle and Lord Shengping were somewhat similar.

Of course, Mo Jun didn't know that his casual words made Fu Nian and Six-fingered Black Man think of so many things.

Now he was looking at Tian Guang with a slightly teasing look, wanting to see what other tricks this peasant hero could come up with.

Moral kidnapping.

It may be useful to many people in this era.

However, for Mo Jun, a person who came from the era of information explosion in later generations, morality is worthless at all, and can even cause people to lose money.

So as long as he has no morals, no one can kidnap him.

Tian Guang came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "Could it be that Lord Shengping has forgotten that the seven countries in the Central Plains were all subjects of the Zhou Dynasty five hundred years ago. In other words, the people of all countries were once one family. Is it possible that Mr. Shengping will not save his own 'family'?"

Hearing this, Mr. Mo couldn't help but be startled for a moment, then he thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"What Xia Kui said does have some truth to it."

Tian Guang looked happy and said quickly: "In that case, please..."

"Since everyone was once a family, let's invite the heroes to go to the other six countries and persuade the kings of each country to simply surrender to Qin! In this way, the people of the countries who are now 'separated' can not only return to their families, but also their original families. You will be able to save the world without violating your original agreement."

Before Tian Guang finished speaking, he heard Lord Mo suddenly interrupt: "After all, everyone will be from Qin at that time, so it is only natural that I will protect the people of Qin!"

Tian Guang: “·······”

"Why, does Xia Kui think it is too difficult to lobby the kings of the six countries? It doesn't matter. Xia Kui can also go to the other six countries to lobby the people and let them migrate into our Qin Kingdom. By then, they will also be our Qin Kingdom's subjects. I will still protect them."

Seeing Tian Guang's silence, Mo Jun immediately stabbed him again.

This knife goes down.

Not to mention Tian Guang, even Fu Nian and Six-fingered Black Man beside him were a little unable to hold their nerve.

This Lord Shengping's mouth is really damaging!

At this time, Tian Guang's face was almost as dark as the bottom of the pot. After a while, he saw him cupping his fists and saluting Mr. Mo.

"Before today, I thought that the person who created the [First Generation Improved Rice Seed], a magical thing that could save the world, would be a person of noble character, but when I saw it today..."

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Shengping's concept of one family, one country was so important that he didn't even care about the lives of the common people. To be honest, I feel very disappointed during this trip."

"I suddenly came to the door today. It was Tian Guang who disturbed me. I'm going to say goodbye."

After saying these words, Tian Guang wanted to get up and leave.

But at this moment, I heard Mo Jun suddenly shout: "Xia Kui, don't be angry, after all... there are many things in this world that you didn't expect!"

When he first heard Mo Jun call his name, Tian Guang paused, thinking that Mo Jun regretted it.

The result was unexpected.

Mo Jun suddenly said this sentence in the second half of his sentence, and Tian Guang was so angry that he almost couldn't hold it back.

However, just as the thought of 'doing something' arose in his mind, an extremely terrifying and domineering sword intent suddenly locked onto his body.

Tian Guang calmed down as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.

But just when Tian Guang's anger subsided, he heard Mo Jun remind him kindly again: "In addition, Xia Kui's 'disappointment' is also worthless to me, so next time, Xia Kui will Needless to say."

As soon as this sentence came out.

Tian Guang's hands were shaking with anger. The next moment, he was seen fluttering his sleeves angrily and walked out of the door angrily...
