Daily Life In Qin Dynasty Chapter 56

  Chapter 56 South County

  South County.

  Its area is roughly located in the Jingzhou area of ​​later generations. Among them, Yingdu, the capital, is the later Jingzhou.

  South County is close to the waters of the Yangtze River. There is a main stream and several tributaries in the county. There are countless other lakes and rivers with abundant water resources, which are very suitable for the development of fishery industry.

  In addition, this place is dominated by plain areas, with sufficient light energy and heat, and the farming environment is not bad, and it is very suitable for the growth and planting of various crops.

   It can be said that in terms of natural conditions alone, there are only a handful of places in Qin State that can compare with Nanjun.

   The only downside.

  Probably because Nanjun is too far away from Xianyang, the capital of Qin State, but extremely close to the border of Chu State.

   After all, Yingdu was originally one of the former capitals of Chu State.

   It was already fifteen days later when Mo Jun took his family from Xianyang to Yingdu.

no way.

  When I came to Xianyang, it was far away from Nanjun.

Secondly, in order to transplant the elixir and medicinal materials cultivated so hard by Master Yaogui, everyone has spent a lot of effort. After all, ordinary medicinal materials are fine, the key is that those elixir are too precious, even Mo Jun dare not be careless .

  Maybe it was in a new environment, the little Jinpeng bird that had been staying on Mo Jun's shoulder was jumping and jumping excitedly, and even made a few sharp calls from time to time.

   It's also interesting to say, originally for the cultivation of this little Jinpeng bird, Mo Jun also considered whether to find a beast trainer.

  After all, although Mo Jun raised many animals in his previous life, it was all to make them more delicious.

   As for keeping pets, this is really the first time in two lifetimes.

But I didn't expect this little thing to be quite fierce when we first met, but it turned out to be a thing that has a milk and a mother, especially after taking half of [Adventurer's Soul (Ordinary)], perhaps because of the great increase in spirituality Because of this, he actually knows how to please people actively.

   Just to get a few [Life Crystals], [Adventurer's Soul] and [Red Small Crystals], a dignified Jinpeng bird is almost turning into a 'monster' now.

  He wandered around Mo Jun all day long, and from time to time he used his increasingly golden hair to rub Mo Jun's face and neck.

   Entered Yingdu for the first time.

   This old capital, which originally belonged to the Chu State, looks quite prosperous.

  Although Mr. Mo doesn't care much about the position of the county guard, since he holds this position now, before coming here, Mr. Mo still needs to know a little about the situation in Nanjun.

Overall.

  The current overall situation in Nanjun is neither good nor bad for Mo Jun.

   Throughout the ages, even more than a thousand years later, there has been a saying in the Central Plains called "imperial power does not go to the countryside".

  The meaning of this sentence refers to the fact that in the era when transportation and communication were extremely inconvenient, no matter how powerful the emperor was, it was still difficult to control matters in remote areas and remote areas.

   And this sentence is also very appropriate to describe Nanjun today.

   Thirty years ago.

  Although Bai Qi led the army to break through the city of Ying, which is now the capital of Ying.

   But at that time, they only snatched a large piece of land in Chu State, as well as a capital of Chu State. However, many local aristocratic and landlord forces of Chu State stationed in Nanjun have not been eradicated.

Precisely.

   Like this kind of old aristocratic forces in other countries, even after Yingzheng unified the six countries, they still failed to figure out a solution.

   And this also laid a huge hidden danger for the later death of Qin Dynasty II.

  So although it is obvious that the governor of Nanjun is the highest official, in the local area, these old aristocratic forces have more voice than the government.

at this point.

   Not only Nanjun, but also some other slightly remote counties in Qin State have similar situations.

   It can be said that if Mo Jun really wants to be a good sheriff, it is estimated that the old aristocratic forces of Chu State alone will be enough for him to drink a pot.

  But Mr. Mo didn't intend to make any achievements in the position of county guard, because there was absolutely no need for that.

  After all, even if he is lucky now, if he really makes some political achievements in Nanjun, it will only affect one place in Nanjun. But as long as he is given time to develop, he can pierce the roots of these people.

   In addition, as I said before, the situation in Nanjun is neither good nor bad for Mo Jun.

  If these aristocrats are regarded as the 'bad' side.

  Then the 'not bad' side is the commander of the Qin army and the lieutenant of Nanjun who is currently stationed on the border of Yingdu, who happens to have a good relationship with Mo Jun.

  Although the sheriff is the highest officer in a county, it does not mean that the sheriff can dominate the family.

  In each county, there are about four highest positions, namely:

  Sheriff: The highest officer of the county.

  Juncheng: assist the county guard to manage the administrative and prison work in the county.

  Junwei: Responsible for the military and security of the county.

  Concurrent imperial envoy: responsible for supervising the common people and officials, and can be used to contain the sheriff.

  South County is indeed located in a remote place, so it is difficult for King Qin's power to fully spread here.

   But don't forget that Nanjun is not only the border of Qin State, but also the border of Chu State. Therefore, in order to prevent the sudden invasion of Chu State, heavy troops must be sent to guard this place all year round.

  So the old aristocratic forces of the Chu state are indeed strong in Nanjun, but the strongest force is still the heavy armored army of the Qin state stationed on the border of Yingdu.

   Coincidentally, the supreme commander of the Heavy Armored Army currently stationed in Yingdu is none other than Meng Ao's son—Meng Wu.

   This is also the reason why Meng Ao took the initiative to invite Mo Jun to be a guest in his mansion as soon as the court meeting was over. This is to send a signal to some interested people.

   To put it simply:

  Mr. Mo, I'm in the dark.

  If the person I guard is bullied in Nanjun, I, Meng Ao, will definitely ask my son to talk to you.

  So it may not be convenient for Mo Jun to bully others here in Nanjun, but it is not so easy for others to mess with him.

  The Sheriff's Mansion in Yingdu was transformed from the original Chu Palace. Some unsuitable palace buildings were demolished, but a huge back garden was retained.

  There are mountains, waters and lakes in the back garden. The scenery is beautiful, just like a 'small world'.

   This can be regarded as making Master Yaogui very happy.

   After all, I have been nesting in Mo Jun's small house before. It is a big place, and there are not many medicinal materials at all. But now, he can finally start growing medicine with vigor.

  So as soon as the group arrived at the county guard's mansion, Master Yaogui couldn't wait to direct his two apprentices, as well as the idiot Xiong Er, to start setting up his new medicine garden.

   On the other side, after Mo Jun put down his salute, he turned to a young man with a bit of a Confucian temperament beside him and said, "Mr. Zhanqin, in the next few days, I will bother you more."

  The young man named Zhanqin smiled gently, and said, "It is my honor to assist Master Mo in managing a county."
