Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

South County exploded.

in three days.

Under the orders of the county governor, the black armored soldiers of the Qin State destroyed twenty-seven noble families in Nanjun, and even the four major clans that had always been famous in Nanjun were not spared.

For a while.

All the nobles, big and small, in the entire Nan County are in danger, and there is turmoil in various places, and public resentment is everywhere.

Everyone thought that the new governor of Nanjun was crazy. After all, no one with any sense would do such a thing.

······

"How is the resettlement situation for the victims?"

"Everything has been arranged. The food confiscated from the four major clans is enough to survive this disaster."

"Is Bear Big Bear II back?"

"I just came back last night, and now I am busy taking over various businesses and channels from the [Sifang Chamber of Commerce] and other nobles in South County."

"Have you finished counting the properties of the twenty-seven noble families?"

"Not yet, but..."

Having said this, Zhan Qin paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said: "The family properties that have been confiscated so far include more than 500,000 dan of grain, 170,000 gold coins, and countless real estate properties of various types. .”

"Roughly estimated, if all inspections are completed, approximately 800,000 gold coins will be counted. Including various jewelry and antiques, there will be approximately 400,000 gold coins."

"Um?"

Hearing these words, Mo Jun also suddenly straightened up from the rocking chair, his eyes widened: "So many?"

"Yes."

Zhan Qin's tone was also slightly harsh.

to be honest.

When this data was first obtained, Zhan Qin himself was shocked.

Although he also knew that many nobles had taken advantage of this disaster to hoard a lot of food, and most of the nobles' families had extraordinary assets.

But he never expected that these noble families could be so rich.

Eight hundred thousand stones of grain.

Even if it were supplied to the entire Nanjun people, it would be enough for more than half a year.

Mo Jun thought for a moment and said: "Of these grains, two hundred thousand stones are left for disaster relief. The rest of the grains will be sent to General Meng. These grains can be reported to the king with full authority."

"As for the noble family property, we will keep half of it."

Zhan Qin was shocked and hesitated: "Sir, is this... a bit too much?"

The "fortunate expense" of confiscating a house and exterminating a family has existed since ancient times, but in most cases, only about 30% of the money is retained. It is a bit too bold to leave half like Mo Jun did.

But Mo Jun shook his head and said: "I have other uses for this money. In addition, is Mr. Zhan Qin interested in the position of the governor of Nan County?"

Suddenly hearing Mo Jun say such a sentence, Zhan Qin was stunned at first, then his heart jumped suddenly, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "What do you mean, sir?"

Mo Jun spoke slowly: "I am about to leave Nanjun, but I need a trustworthy person to help me stay here."

At this point, Mo Jun's meaning was already obvious.

In fact, Mr. Mo didn't plan to arrange anything in Nanjun at first, but the incident of the 'Meat Pond' made him change his original idea. Although the largest group of nobles in Nanjun are dead now, this does not mean much, because if Lord Mo does nothing, a new group of big nobles will soon appear in Nanjun during the struggle.

The methods of this new group of nobles are not much different from the previous four major clans. After all, 'dogs can't change their ways of eating shit'. This is a limitation of this era.

"Corruption", "rebellion"... These things can be tolerated by Mr. Mo. This is why he was able to develop steadily when he knew that the four major clans had been oppressing the civilians of Nanjun.

Because this kind of thing is so common, not much has changed even after two thousand years.

But the incident of the 'Meat Pond' made Mr. Mo once again see the lower limit of this group of so-called 'nobles'. Even if this kind of thing will still exist two thousand years later, there are some things that you still have to do even though you know you can't do them.

Mr. Mo has no intention of promoting the idea of ​​'everyone is equal' in Nanjun. After all, the progress of the times also takes time. If he dares to do such a thing at this time, I am afraid that the first person to trouble him will not be the nobles, but Ying. Political.

Lord Mo didn't expect to change the remaining nobles in Nanjun. After all, if he wanted to count on the kindness of human nature, it would be easier to find a way to destroy the world.

Therefore, Mr. Mo's plan is very simple. Since peaceful coexistence is not possible, then simply suppress the entire Nanjun and take it all into his own hands. At least in this way, he can give the civilians here a way to survive.

And now is an opportunity. Taking advantage of the rebellion of the four major clans, Lord Mo can completely use the power of Qin to let his chamber of commerce take over the businesses, shops, channels, and even underground forces left by these twenty-seven nobles. .

In this way, at least half of Nan County's business and intelligence will be captured by the [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce].

As for the military power of Nanjun, which has always been in the hands of Meng Wu, it is equivalent to being on Mo Jun's side.

As long as Mr. Mo can push someone he trusts to the position of governor of Nanjun, he will be able to hold the power of Nanjun in his hands.

in this way.

With all four items of Nanjun's 'financial and military espionage' being in Lord Mo's hands, it is naturally difficult for the remaining nobles to cause trouble.

The only problem now is that Zhan Qin is not Mo Jun's person.

Or.

Zhan Qin can only be considered half of Mo Jun so far.

Because he was initially borrowed by Lord Mo from Meng Ao's mansion, and was a 'guard' specially sent by Ying Zheng and Meng Ao to protect Lord Mo.

His position in Mo Mansion is more similar to Lord Mo's 'ally'.

However, Mr. Mo was very confident that he could convince Zhan Qin, because since he was originally willing to become a 'disciple' in Meng Ao's house, his ambition could not be as simple as becoming an aide.

Become a Marquis and pay homage to the Prime Minister.

This is the highest ideal of almost every civil servant and soldier in troubled times.

What's more, as someone who knew certain secrets in Lord Mo's house, unless Zhan Qin was blind, there was no way he wouldn't be able to see Lord Mo's achievements in the future.

A good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses his master to do his work.

as expected.

Upon hearing Mr. Mo's 'invitation', Zhan Qin didn't hesitate for long before he knelt down on one knee with great excitement, cupped his hands and bowed, "I am willing to do my best for you."

Lord Mo nodded with satisfaction and said, "After the affairs of Nanjun are over, I will leave Xianyang in the near future. At that time, I will recommend you to the king as the governor of Nanjun."

The talent promotion system during the Warring States Period was the 'recommendation system'. As long as the recommender's status was high enough, the recommended person could rise to the top in one step.

Finished.

Mo Jun slowly reached out and placed a long sword with only the hilt visible on the table.

Seeing this sword, Zhan Qin's eyes suddenly condensed. Zhan Qin, who was very familiar with Jianghu's information, naturally recognized the "Xiaolian" ranked twenty-seventh in the famous sword book at a glance.

"Sir, this is..."

"It's one of the trophies of this trip. Don't let me down, Mr. Zhanqin."

"I will live up to your trust."

Zhan Qin immediately nodded excitedly and bowed again.

As the saying goes, swords are given to heroes. The fact that Mr. Mo can give such a precious sword to Zhan Qin represents a kind of importance.

For a while.

Zhan Qin put away his famous sword and stood up, but even so, the flush on his face still did not fade away.

After all, for most people, the position of county magistrate is almost the pinnacle of achievement in life. However, now Zhan Qin started out as a county guard, and he can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

Just when Mr. Mo had just arranged for the successor of the next Nanjun County Sheriff, Jian Jiuyuan led Jian Ling'er to the back garden, but Jian Ling'er's cheeks were bulging high and he looked very angry. look.

Seeing Jian Ling'er's expression, Mo Jun suddenly became happy and said with a smile: "What happened to our Ling'er? Who made you angry? Tell Brother Mo Jun and I will help you teach him a lesson."

As a result, this time when he heard Mr. Mo's words, Jian Ling'er not only did not pounce on him like usual, but instead glared at him angrily.

This time, Mo Jun was really confused.

"What's going on here?"

Mo Jun looked at Jian Jiuyuan aside and asked.

Jian Jiuyuan looked helplessly at Jian Ling'er, who was having a bad temper next to him, and said, "Sir, there is a woman outside the door who is coming to visit."

"woman?"

Mo Jun was startled for a moment and said, "What woman?"

Jian Jiuyuan said: "She is a purple-haired woman, whose background cannot be seen. However, her internal strength is not low, and she looks a bit like a Taoist."

When he heard Jian Jiuyuan say the words "purple-haired woman", Mo Jun subconsciously thought of the "purple woman" from Zilanxuan in South Korea. After all, in his impression, this was the only purple-haired woman he knew.

However, the subsequent words made him rule out this answer. After all, although Zi Nu's martial arts was pretty good, it was obviously far from the 'not low cultivation level' mentioned by Jian Jiuyuan.

While Mo Jun was thinking, he heard a sour voice coming slowly: "Your old lover is here to find you!"

Mo Jun: "???"

Looking at Jian Ling'er who said these words, several question marks appeared on Mo Jun's forehead.

Jian Jiuyuan's expression changed even more, and he scolded: "Ling'er, don't be rude."

"snort!"

Jian Ling'er snorted coldly, turned his head, pouted, and stopped talking to Mr. Mo.

Jian Jiuyuan's forehead was throbbing with veins. He wanted to reach out and give his daughter a shudder several times, but in the end he was reluctant to do so.

Mo Jun was not angry, but said amusedly: "You are a young girl, so you know a lot. However, your brother Mo Jun has always only talked about business outside, not feelings."

Hearing this, Jian Ling'er immediately turned his head, looked at Mr. Mo with twinkling eyes, and asked, "Is it true? You're not lying?"

Mo Jun smiled and replied: "Of course, I'm not lying."

A hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the sword spirit man, and he suddenly came over and said: "Then let's pull the hook, and whoever cheats is the puppy."

Mo Jun stretched out a hand and said, "Okay!"

Seeing Mr. Mo fooling around with Jian Ling'er, a look of helplessness and doting suddenly flashed across Jian Jiuyuan's face.

Zhan Qin on the other side quietly came over, squinted his eyes, and laughed softly: "Senior Jian, congratulations! Ling'er is only fourteen years old and has such good eyesight. She knows how to find a husband for herself."

Jian Jiuyuan's face darkened, he glanced sideways at the 'Xiao Lian' in Zhan Qin's hand, and said, "You seem to have got a good sword, how about we practice it?"

Zhan Qin suddenly looked solemn and said seriously: "I am a scholar, how can I be decent in fighting and killing? I don't practice!"

Played with Jian Linger for a while.

After a while.

An idea flashed in Mo Jun's mind, and he suddenly remembered the prying eyes he had felt from the Rong clan before, and then he said: "Senior Jian, please take the purple-haired woman to the lobby first. I will be there in a moment."

"yes!"

Jian Jiuyuan responded and led Jian Ling'er out of the back garden.

Mo Jun straightened his clothes and took Zhan Qin out of the back garden. However, he did not go directly to the lobby. Instead, he took a slight detour and went to the guest room in the front yard.

As soon as the two of them got close, they heard a heartbreaking cry coming from inside.

After walking in.

I saw a group of children and teenagers, almost all with bandages on their bodies, lying on the bed and wailing and crying...

Poria and Hongzao were busy among the crowd.

Yao Gui, on the other hand, brought a group of doctors invited by Mo Jun, and jointly suppressed a girl whose legs had been severely deformed. One of them held one leg, and only heard a 'click' sound, and the girl's right side The leg was broken again.

The severe pain caused her to suddenly scream: "Ahhhhh~~~"
