Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

stars.

A very bright star.

Billions of stars are like pearls and diamonds, showing a seemingly disordered but extremely mysterious arrangement within a huge star map.

Under the star map is a dark and mysterious palace.

Inside the palace.

A tall figure wearing a large black robe and a black mask with an unusually mysterious temperament suddenly raised his head, glanced at the star chart above his head, and then made a slightly surprised sound.

"The stars have changed?"

"Why is Your Excellency Donghuang so confused?"

As soon as the mysterious figure finished speaking, he heard an ethereal voice coming from not far away.

Follow the sound.

In front of this dark and mysterious palace, a young woman with veiled eyes, long purple hair, and an equally mysterious temperament slowly opened her eyes and spoke.

Donghuang Taiyi said: "The Emperor's Star sets in the west and shines brightly."

The purple-haired woman was surprised when she heard this and said: "The west is the land of the Qin State. The Emperor's Star has gradually moved towards the west a hundred years ago. Now the Qin State's national destiny is about to reach its peak. It is the right time. Why is Your Excellency Donghuang surprised?"

Donghuang Taiyi denied: "What I said was not about the weather, but about unexpected variables. It has been more than five hundred years since the Spring and Autumn Period of the Qin Dynasty. It is said that it prospered and then declined. Now Qin is the strongest among the seven countries. , according to the celestial movement, the Emperor Star should have shifted to the west in a few decades."

"But now, for some unknown reason, the movement pattern of the Emperor Star has changed."

The purple-haired woman opened her eyes slightly and said: "Is this happening? Is it possible that someone is planning to imitate King Zhou of Shang a thousand years ago and do something that goes against heaven?"

Donghuang Taiyi looked at the star map above his head, and his deep pupils seemed to reflect the sea of ​​stars in the sky.

I do not know how long it has been.

Donghuang Taiyi slowly withdrew his gaze and said to the purple-haired woman below: "I'm observing the sky. The origin of this matter may be in the south. You go and find out."

South County.

The back garden of the Sheriff's Mansion.

A carefree sparrow flew across the sky. Perhaps it was a little tired from flying. The sparrow spread its wings and slowly fell, trying to find a place to rest.

But just as he approached the back garden, he heard a soft sound of "whoosh", and a black feather penetrated the sparrow's body like a sharp arrow.

The sparrow stiffened and immediately fell to the ground as a corpse.

Poria cocos and Hong Zao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and quickly picked up the sparrow's body and threw it out of the yard, so as not to let these unlucky things disturb the sun on the rice on the ground.

The rice harvested from the twenty acres of rice fields is all dried in the back garden. On the east side is Jian Jiuyuan, on the west side is Heiyu, on the south side is Yaogui, and on the north side is Zhanqin.

This is the treatment these rice grains enjoy now. Under the guard of these four people, let alone assassins and thieves, even a bird or a fly that wants to get close will be instantly wiped out.

A few days later.

After the grain seeds were dried, Mo Jun took Hei Yu with him, and the two quietly left Nanjun.

As the governor of a county, Mr. Mo's departure... had no impact on Nan County at all.

After all, Zhan Qin has been mainly handling the political affairs of Nanjun. Including cooperation with the four major clans, Zhan Qin also serves as the liaison.

There were only a few singing and dancing studios that hadn't seen Mr. Mo for several days, so they felt a little strange.

Mo Jun and Hei Yu worked hard all the way and arrived in Xianyang in only seven days. Lu Buwei was still under house arrest and his power in Xianyang was also suppressed. Naturally, no one noticed that Mo Jun quietly returned here from Nanjun.

Later, Mo Jun successfully contacted Ying Zheng in Xianyang Palace through his secret communication channel with Ying Zheng in Nanjun.

"Huh? Mo Qing secretly returned to Xianyang, and what if he wanted to see me?"

After receiving the secret letter from Mr. Mo, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking that Mr. Mo had encountered some trouble.

After all, if it were not a major incident, no matter what happened, Mr. Mo would not return to Xianyang in person, and he would also communicate with him through secret messages in Xianyang.

"Mr. Gai Nie..."

"I understand."

Ying Zheng looked at Gai Nie. Gai Nie also instantly understood what King Qin meant. After holding his sword and saluting, he quickly left the palace.

But when Gai Nie followed the instructions of the secret letter and arrived at the contact point chosen by Lord Mo, he was slightly stunned.

Because at this time, Mo Jun was in an independent courtyard, comfortably grilling a piece of lamb chop. Layers of highly flavorful sauce were applied to the surface of the lamb chop. Finally, a layer of pepper and a pinch of salt were sprinkled on it. A large piece of fragrant lamb chop comes out of the oven.

"Eh? Mr. Gai Nie came just in time. Let's try the honey-glazed salt and pepper lamb chops that I cooked with my own hands." Mo Jun just finished cooking the lamb chops when he saw Gai Nie following Hei Yu and immediately spoke. Invitations were sent.

Gai Nie: "·······"

"Your Majesty has ordered that the governor of Xuannan County and the right concubine of the State of Qin, Lord Mo, will come to see you immediately."

Mr. Mo smacked his lips twice and sighed: "It seems that Mr. Gai Nie is a person who doesn't know much about enjoyment! In that case, I won't waste any time."

With that said, Mr. Mo said to Heiyu: "Heiyu, go prepare a plate and we will eat while walking on the road. After all, the food is ready, we can't waste food!"

"yes!"

Black Feather responded briefly, and then his figure flashed and disappeared from the place in an instant.

Seeing this, Gai Nie's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although he had already seen Heiyu's Qinggong in Nanjun last time, but now after watching it up close, Gai Nie discovered that the opponent's Qinggong and body skills seemed to be even more advanced than he had imagined.

The three of them walked into Zhangtai Palace.

Seeing Mr. Mo, Ying Zheng's usually serious face showed a rare smile and said: "Qing Mo..."

As soon as he said these two words, Ying Zheng couldn't speak any more.

Because he suddenly smelled an aroma, which was a bit like the smell of mutton, but it was more fragrant than the food made by the Guanglu Temple in the palace. Even Ying Zheng, as the king of a country, just smelled the aroma at this time, and actually felt Drool was secreted uncontrollably from his mouth.

However, considering that Mo Jun had other business to do with him, Ying Zheng could only temporarily suppress the strangeness in his mouth and continued: "Mo Qing traveled day and night from Nanjun back to Xianyang. Is there anything important?"

Mo Jun immediately saluted and said: "I reported to the King, but I returned to Xianyang without reporting. It is precisely because I have a great gift to offer to the King."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng sat up slightly and became a little more interested, saying, "Oh? A big gift?"

Mr. Mo replied: "Yes, please take a look, Your Majesty."

After saying that, Mo Jun stepped aside and showed the sack with rice behind him in front of Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng took a look and said with doubts on his face: "Rice? Is this the gift that Mo Qing wants to give to me?"

Lord Mo nodded and said, "Exactly. Your Majesty, you don't know. In fact, compared to the 'Medicine' and the 'Merchant', the 'Agriculture' is the technique I am most proficient in."

"These rice seeds are the 'first-generation improved rice seeds' that I have cultivated after many years of painstaking research. Compared with the existing rice seeds in Qin, the fruit yield of this rice seed is about 10% higher than that of the original rice seeds. It can be improved by 50 to 60%.”

Listening to Mr. Mo's narration, Ying Zheng was a little careless at first. However, when he heard the last four words "50 to 60%", Ying Zheng stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "Do you really mean what Mr. Mo said?"

Lord Mo cupped his hands and said, "Of course I don't dare to deceive you. I have already conducted an experimental planting of this rice seed in Nanjun, and the yield value obtained is accurate."

As soon as this statement came out.

In an instant.

The entire Zhangtai Palace fell into a dead silence.

Even Gai Nie, who had always had a calm personality and a stern expression, slightly widened his eyes with a look of disbelief after Mr. Mo finished speaking.

And Ying Zheng stepped down from the throne in person, staring at the rice seeds in the sack. The bloodshot eyes burst out due to excessive excitement, making the whole person look a bit ferocious and terrifying.

For a while.

Only then did he see Ying Zheng slowly turn around, grab Mr. Mo's shoulders, forcefully suppress his emotions, and say in a hoarse voice: "Qing Mo, do you know what great achievements you have made?"

Mo Jun said: "I probably know."

Ying Zheng's hands that grabbed Mo Jun's shoulders trembled slightly, and said: "If Mo Qing's words are true, what you have done will be an immortal achievement, and I will personally make you the king and build a holy monument of merit."

Seeing Ying Zheng's expression, which was so excited that he could almost tremble all over, Mo Jun hesitated for a moment and reminded him: "Your Majesty, this is actually just the first gift I have prepared for Your Majesty."

"???"

As soon as the words came out, this time even Heiyu behind him couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Mr. Mo.

How come he doesn't know about this?

And Ying Zheng and Gai Nie were instantly confused. This gift... was actually only the first one?

"Mo Qing...if you have any other gifts, please present them all together!"

Ying Zheng tried hard to control his excitement, hoping to maintain his majesty as a king in front of his ministers. However, when several gifts from the back of Mo Jun came out, Ying Zheng couldn't stand it anymore.

"This is another 'compost fermentation' technology that Chen accidentally discovered. The fertilizer produced using this technology should be able to increase food production by another 20 to 30% on the existing basis."

"This is the "curved shaft plow" invented by Chen. Most of the current plows have straight shafts and require at least two oxen to pull them. However, this kind of "curved shaft plow" only needs one oxen to plow the fields. "

"This is the 'waterwheel' invented by Chen. Using this tool can not only make farmland irrigation more convenient, but also allow farmland on the plateau to be irrigated smoothly."

"This is the "rice thresher" invented by Chen, which can save more effort when harvesting grain."

Lord Mo raised his hand and directly threw four 'King Explosions', which stunned Ying Zheng, Gai Nie, and Hei Yu on the spot.

Ying Zheng took the four secret maps handed over by Mo Jun and looked at each one carefully, his shoulders almost shaking uncontrollably.

After a while.

Ying Zheng finally couldn't restrain his excitement and burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha·······"

Seeing Ying Zheng laughing wildly like a madman in Zhangtai Palace, none of the three people at the scene stopped him. Only Gai Nie quietly walked out of the door and dispersed all the nearby palace guards.

The future Ying Zheng will be a 'tyrant' and the 'First Emperor'.

But it seems that many people have forgotten that before the fall of Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng, the king, was actually not much different from a puppet.

No one can feel how much pressure Ying Zheng has endured in the face of Lu Buwei's oppression, his brother's betrayal, and his biological mother's rebellion against him... In such an environment.

However, now, with the 'little help' given to him by Lord Mo, all the pressure placed in front of Ying Zheng was instantly overturned.

It can be said that the clouds and mist are parted to see the blue sky.

Since birth.

Ying Zheng's mood has never been as good as it is today. Even though it is dark outside now, Ying Zheng seems to have seen a nascent morning light shining down.

I do not know how long it has been.

Ying Zheng finally regained his composure.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the three people in front of him, and said, "I have lost my temper a little and made a few people laugh."

This may be the first time Ying Zheng has spoken such humble words since he became the King of Qin. However, when he said these words, Ying Zheng had an extremely bright smile on his face.

However, this smile soon turned solemn, and he suddenly said: "The right concubine of Qin State, Mr. Mo, accepts the edict."

Lord Mo bowed his hands and said, "I accept the imperial edict."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "I want you to secretly carry all the rice seeds and go to Bashu immediately to make all preparations. After next spring, all the new rice seeds will be planted. Next year's autumn harvest will be harvested. I want to see thousands of acres of fertile land bear fruit. .”

"You have full authority to handle this matter in secret. During this period, I will give you whatever you want. If you encounter any obstacles along the way, I allow you to have the right to kill first and report later."

At the end of the sentence, a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

Obviously things have reached this point, and Ying Zheng cannot care about the so-called 'overall situation'. In this era, if anyone wants to cause trouble, even if it is Lu Buwei, Ying Zheng will definitely take the risk and eliminate them directly.

"yes!"

Mo Jun responded in a deep voice.

Then, taking advantage of the darkness, he took Heiyu and the two of them and quietly left Xianyang Palace.

And not long after Mo Jun left, a guard team specially guarding Ying Zheng in Xianyang Palace also disappeared silently.

And all this did not attract anyone's attention...
