Daily Life In Qin Dynasty Chapter 82

  Chapter 82 Gift

  Stars.

  A very bright star.

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

  Under the star map, there is a dark and mysterious palace.

  Inside the palace.

  A tall, mysterious figure in a large black robe and a black mask suddenly raised his head, glanced at the star chart above his head, and then let out a slightly surprised voice.

   "Astrology, has it changed?"

   "Why is Your Excellency Donghuang confused?"

  As soon as the mysterious figure finished speaking, an ethereal voice came from not far ahead.

  Follow the reputation.

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

  Donghuang Taiyi said: "The emperor's star is setting in the west, shining brightly."

  The purple-haired woman was surprised when she heard the words, and said: "The west is the land of the Qin Kingdom. The emperor star has gradually shifted towards the west a hundred years ago. Now that Qin'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 is not about the weather, but unexpected variables. The Qin State has been in the Spring and Autumn Period for more than 500 years. The so-called prosperity and decline, and now Qin State is the strongest among the Seven Kingdoms. , according to the cycle of the sky, the emperor star should have shifted to the west after decades."

   "However, for some unknown reason, the law of the Emperor Star's movement has changed."

  The purple-haired woman opened her eyes slightly, and said, "Is there such a thing? Could it be that someone is planning to imitate King Zhou of Shang thousands of years ago and do that against the sky?"

  East Emperor 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.

  Eastern Emperor Taiyi slowly withdrew his gaze, and said to the purple-haired woman below: "I look at the sky, and the origin of this matter may be in the south, so you go and find out."

  South County.

  The back garden of the Sheriff's Mansion.

  A carefree sparrow flitted across the sky, maybe a little tired from flying, the sparrow stretched its wings and slowly fell, trying to find a place to rest.

  But the moment he approached the back garden, there was only a soft '咻' sound, and a black feather pierced the sparrow's body like a sharp arrow.

  The sparrow's body froze, and immediately fell to the ground and became a corpse.

   Poria and Jujube, who had been waiting by the side, immediately stepped forward, quickly picked up the dead sparrow and threw it out of the courtyard, so as not to let these unlucky things disturb the rice on the ground to bask in the sun.

  All the rice harvested from the 20-acre paddy field is dried in the back garden. On the east side is Jianjiuyuan, 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 enjoys now. Under the guard of these four people, let alone assassins and thieves, even a bird or a fly will be wiped out instantly if they want to get close.

   A few days later.

  The grain seeds were drying, and Mo Jun took Hei Yu, and the two quietly left Nanjun.

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

  After all, Zhanqin has been mainly handling Nanjun's political affairs. Including the cooperation with the four major clans, Zhanqin also acted as the liaison.

   Only a few song and dance clubs didn't see Mo Jun for several days, and felt a little strange.

  Mr. Mo and Hei Yu rushed all the way, and it took only seven days to arrive in Xianyang. Lu Buwei was still under house arrest, and his influence in Xianyang was also suppressed. Naturally, no one noticed that Mr. Mo had quietly returned here from Nanjun.

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

   "Huh? Mo Qing returned to Xianyang quietly, and what if he wants to see the widow?"

  After receiving the secret letter from Mo Jun, Ying Zheng frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking that Mo Jun was in some trouble.

   After all, if it is not a major event, no matter how good Mo Jun is, he will not return to Xianyang in person, and he will have to communicate with him in secret letters in Xianyang.

   "Mr. Ge Nie..."

   "I understand."

  Ying Zheng looked at Gai Nie, and Gai Nie also instantly understood what the King of Qin meant, and quickly left the palace after hugging his sword and saluting.

  But when Gai Nie arrived at the contact point chosen by Mo Jun according to the instructions of the secret letter, he was slightly taken aback.

Because at this time, Mo Jun is in an independent courtyard, comfortably grilling a piece of lamb chops. Layers of very flavorful sauces are spread on the surface of the lamb chops, and finally sprinkled with a layer of pepper and a pinch of refined salt. A large piece of fragrant lamb chops is out of the oven.

"Huh? Mr. Ge Nie came just in time, come and taste the honey sauce and salt and pepper lamb chops that I cooked myself?" Mo Jun just finished cooking the lamb chops, when he saw Gai Nie following Hei Yu, he opened his mouth immediately Invitation sent.

   Gai Nie: "..."

   "There is an order from the king, the governor of Xuannan County, the right minister of Qin State, Mo Jun, will have an audience immediately."

  Jun Mo smacked his lips twice, sighed: "It seems that Mr. Gai Nie is a person who doesn't know how to enjoy himself! If that's the case, then I won't waste any more time."

  Speaking, Mo Jun said to Hei Yu: "Hei Yu, go and prepare a plate, we will eat while walking on the road. After all, the food is ready, we must not waste food!"

"yes!"

  Heiyu responded briefly, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

   Seeing this, Gai Nie's eyes narrowed slightly.

  Although he had seen Hei Yu's qinggong in Nanjun last time, but now after watching it closely, Ge Nie realized that the other party's qinggong seemed to be more advanced than he imagined.

  The three walked into Zhangtai Palace.

  Seeing Mo Jun, Ying Zheng's always serious face showed a rare smile, and said, "Mo Qing..."

   As soon as he finished speaking two words, Ying Zheng couldn't continue.

Because he suddenly smelled an aroma, a bit like the smell of mutton, but it was even more fragrant than the food made by the Guanglu Temple in the palace. Saliva secreted uncontrollably from his mouth.

  However, considering that Mo Jun still has business to look for, Ying Zheng could only temporarily suppress the strangeness in his mouth, and then said: "Mo Qing returned to Xianyang from Nanjun day and night, is there anything important?"

  Jun Mo immediately saluted and said: "Report to the king, the minister returned to Xianyang without reporting, it is precisely a big gift to present to the king."

   Hearing the words, Ying Zheng sat up slightly, and suddenly became interested, and said, "Oh? Great gift?"

  Jun Mo replied: "That's right, please take a look, Your Majesty."

   As he said that, Mo Jun stepped aside and showed the sack containing rice behind him in front of Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng glanced at it and asked doubtfully, "Rice? Is this the gift that Mo Qing wants to present to the widow?"

  Mr. Mo nodded and said: "That's right. Your Majesty doesn't know that. In fact, compared with the 'Medical Way' and the 'Merchant Way', the 'Farming and Planting Way' is the most proficient technique."

"And these rice seeds are the 'first-generation improved rice seeds' that I have bred through years of painstaking research. Compared with the existing rice varieties in Qin State, the yield of this rice variety is about 100% higher than that of the original rice varieties. It can increase by 50 to 60 percent."

  Listening to Mr. Mo's narration, Ying Zheng was a little careless at first, but when he heard the last four words 'five to sixty percent', Ying Zheng stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "You really mean what Qing Mo said?"

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

  As soon as this remark came out.

  In an instant.

  The entire Zhangtai Palace fell into a dead silence.

  Even Gai Nie, who has always been indifferent and stern, widened his eyes slightly after Mo Jun finished speaking, showing a look of disbelief.

   And Ying Zheng walked down from the throne himself, staring fixedly at the rice seeds in the sack, the bloodshot eyes burst out from being too excited, making the whole person look a bit hideous.

   For a while.

  Seeing that Ying Zheng turned around slowly, grabbed Mo Jun's shoulder, suppressed his emotions forcibly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Does Mo Qing know what great achievements you have made?"

   Jun Mo said: "I probably know."

  Ying Zheng grasped Mo Jun's shoulders with trembling hands, and said: "If Mo Qing's words are true, what you have done will be an incomparable achievement, and the widow will personally enshrine you as the king and erect a monument of meritorious deeds."

  Looking at Ying Zheng's appearance, which was so excited that he could not help shaking, Mo Jun hesitated for a moment, and reminded: "Your Majesty, this is actually just the first gift I prepared for His Majesty."

   As soon as the words came out, this time even Hei Yu behind him couldn't help casting a surprised look at Mo Jun.

  How could he not know about this?

  Ying Zheng and Gai Nie were even more stunned for a moment. This gift... is actually just the first one?

   "Mo Qing... If you have any other presents, please present them together!"

  Ying Zheng tried hard to control his excitement, hoping to maintain his majesty as a king in front of his courtiers as much as possible, but when Mo Jun took out the gifts behind him, Ying Zheng couldn't hold back in an instant.

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

"This is the "curved shaft plow" invented by the minister. Most of the current plows are straight shafts, which require at least two oxen to pull, but this kind of "curved shaft plow" can plow the land with only one oxen. "

   "This is the 'water wheel' invented by Chen. Using this tool can not only make the irrigation of the farmland more convenient, but also allow the cultivated land on the plateau to irrigate the farmland smoothly."

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

  Jun Mo raised his hand and threw four 'Wang Bombs', 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 trembling almost uncontrollably.

   After a while.

  Ying Zheng couldn't hold back his excitement at last, and laughed wildly.

"Hahahahahaha·······"

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

  The future Yingzheng will be a 'tyrant', the "First Emperor".

  But it seems that many people have forgotten that before Lu Buwei's downfall, the king Yingzheng was not much different from a puppet.

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

  Now, however, with this little 'little boost' given to him by Mo Jun, all the pressure placed on Ying Zheng is completely defeated in an instant.

  It can be said that you can see the blue sky through the clouds and mists.

  Since birth.

  Ying Zheng's mood has never been so good as it is today. Even though it is dark outside now, Ying Zheng seems to see a new round of morning light shining down.

I do not know how long it has been.

   Ying Zheng finally regained his composure gradually.

  He slowly raised his head to look at the three people in front of him, and said: "The widow has lost his composure, and made everyone laugh."

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

  However, this smile soon became solemn, and he suddenly said: "Qin Guoyou's right minister Mo Jun accepts the imperial edict."

  Mr. Mo bowed his hands and said: "The minister accepts the imperial edict."

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice: "The widow tells you to carry all the rice seeds secretly, and go to Bashu immediately to make all preparations. After the spring of next year, all the new rice seeds will be planted, and the harvest will be harvested next year. The widow will see the thousand acres of fertile land bearing fruit .”

   "This matter is entirely up to you to conduct in secret. During this period, what you want, what the widow will give you. If you encounter any obstacles in the middle, the widow will allow you to have the right to kill first and then play."

   At the end, a murderous intent flashed across Ying Zheng's eyes.

  Obviously things have come to this point, and it is impossible for Yingzheng to care about the so-called 'overall situation'. In this era, if anyone wants to make trouble, even if it is Lu Buwei, Yingzheng will definitely take the risk to kill him directly.

"yes!"

   Jun Mo replied in a deep voice.

   Then, taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly left Xianyang Palace with Heiyu and the others.

   Not long after Mo Jun left, a guard in the Xianyang Palace that was dedicated to guarding Ying Zheng also disappeared without a sound.

   And all this without anyone noticing...
