Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 87 Back

  After the carriage entered the territory of Nanjun.

  Mr. Mo quickly saw the tragic situation in Nanjun through the car window.

  Nan County used to be a remote county in Qin State, but before that, Nan County was the capital of Chu State, and a place that can be selected as the capital by a country is naturally impossible to be a barren and desolate area.

  So in the past, the civilians in Nanjun did not dare to say that they lived a prosperous life, but at least they were able to live comfortably.

  However, looking around now, the entire South County is covered with mud. The original fields have now turned into puddles of water. All kinds of crops withered and drooped in the water, and some of them had only a single pole standing in the puddle.

Along the way.

   Countless farmers stepped on paddy fields, desperately saving the few remaining crops.

  In some fields, the crops were submerged by floods, and there was not even a single grain left. Only the old farmer sat alone on the muddy ridge, staring blankly at the scene in front of him, his face pale and desperate.

   Mo Jun sitting in the carriage fell silent.

  The so-called natural disasters and man-made disasters, although Mo Jun, who has been a man for two generations, has heard of many cases, but this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.

  In fact, the flood in Nanjun is not a real large-scale disaster, but even if it is only such a small and medium-sized disaster, it is enough to destroy hundreds of families in an instant.

   "Hei Yu, hurry back to Yingdu."

   "Yes, my lord."

  Compared to Mo Jun's silence at the moment, Hei Yu's expression is much calmer, perhaps because he has seen countless similar situations.

  When he followed Ji Wuye, even Heiyu obeyed Ji Wuye's order and created such a disaster with his own hands.

  The carriage speeds up.

   Half a day later.

  Mr. Mo returned to Yingdu again.

  As the former capital of the Chu State, the impact of the flood on Yingdu was not too great, but even so, when Mo Jun's carriage entered Yingdu, he could see that Yingdu, which used to be peaceful, became much more chaotic.

  A large number of disaster victims huddled in the corner of the city wall like beggars, and batches of officers and soldiers came and went on the streets to maintain the law and order in Yingdu.

   "My lord, you are finally back!"

  Seeing Mo Jun's carriage parked in front of the Sheriff's Mansion, Zhan Qin breathed a sigh of relief as if seeing the backbone, and rushed over to meet him.

  At this moment, the outside of the Sheriff's Mansion is also quite chaotic. Before Mo Jun returned, Zhanqin had already set up a shed for food and porridge, barely maintaining order, but this was only a temporary measure after all.

  If it weren't for the fact that there are more than 500 black armored soldiers guarding the county guard's mansion all the year round, even if there is a riot outside now, it is not impossible.

   "How's the situation?"

  Getting off the carriage, Mo Jun didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic.

   "The damage caused by the flood is not bad now. Basically, it just submerged the farmland, and there is not much loss in terms of personnel. But..."

   Halfway through speaking, Zhanqin hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mo Jun and said, "But Nanjun can't buy food now."

  Mr. Mo paused, frowned and said, "Who are those families who did it?"

  Zhanqin nodded, and said: "That's right. Since the flood, grain merchants in the entire South County have raised their prices on the ground. In just two or three days, the price of grain has soared by more than ten times in an instant."

   "Although I have sent a letter to ask Xiong Da and Xiong Er to prepare food from the other six countries, the food will not enter Nanjun in the short term."

   "Oh~~"

  Mr. Mo laughed angrily when he heard this, and said, "This is really a feng shui turn! I didn't expect what happened in Nanyang, and I came to Nanjun in a blink of an eye."

  Maybe seeing the anger in Mo Jun's heart, Zhan Qin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Also, General Meng sent General Li Xin over."

   "Are you here to help Nanjun with disaster relief?" Mo Jun asked.

   "Not exactly. Although I haven't found out the specific situation, it must be related to Chu State. Because of this flood, Nanjun is only the fringe area of ​​the disaster, and Chu State is the hardest hit area."

  Hearing this, Mo Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, and then strode into the Sheriff's Mansion.

And just when he entered the county guard's mansion, he saw a figure wearing a fairy dress of Yunjuanliu, with black hair hanging down his shoulders and a green ribbon tied behind his head. His skin was crystal clear and his figure was slim, like a baby swallow. He threw himself into Mo Jun's arms as if he was in his arms.

   "Brother Mo Jun, you are finally back!"

   Jian Linger is the only person who can do this kind of behavior in the entire county guard.

  Looking at Jian Ling'er, whom he hadn't seen for a year and who was almost as tall as his shoulders, Mo Jun's originally tense expression softened slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

   "It's Ling'er! Did you follow your father to learn how to forge swords this year?"

"Of course, in the future, Ling'er must create a world-famous 'famous sword' for Brother Mo Jun." Jian Ling'er arched her small head in Mo Jun's arms a few times, then raised her small head and said seriously .

   Mo Jun smiled, and said: "Okay, then Brother Mo Jun is waiting for the 'famous sword' that Linger casts."

   Yujianmen has two inherited unique skills, namely: Yujianshu and Swordcasting.

  In the beginning, Jian Jiuyuan hoped that Jian Linger would learn the art of controlling the sword, not for inheritance, but for Jian Linger's ability to master some means of self-protection in the future.

   After all, Jian Ling'er was born by Jian Jiuyuan's old man, and in addition to running around for more than ten years, Jian Jiuyuan himself has accumulated hidden wounds.

  So at first even Jian Jiuyuan himself didn’t know how long he could live. In order to prevent Jian Linger from encountering accidents after his death, Jian Jiuyuan taught Jian Linger to learn the “sword control technique” a long time ago.

   However, perhaps because of her talent, Jian Linger didn't learn much of the 'Sword Controlling Technique', but she learned quite a bit of the essence of the 'Sword Forging Technique'.

Just after joining Mo Jun's command, Mo Jun secretly gave Jian Jiuyuan a little [Life Crystal], and the drug ghost prepared a potion with a great tonic elixir to heal Jian Jiuyuan, making the dark wounds in Jian Jiuyuan's body gradually Healed, and even appeared the phenomenon of 'reverse growth'.

  No worries in the past.

  Jian Jiuyuan no longer forced Jian Linger to learn the 'Sword Controlling Technique', but concentrated on teaching Jian Linger the 'Sword Forging Technique'.

   "Linger, don't be rude."

  Just as Jian Linger was hugging and acting like a pig in Mo Jun's arms, a stern reprimand suddenly came from behind.

  Jun Mo looked up and found that the person who came was none other than Jian Jiuyuan.

Today's Jian Jiuyuan is no longer the image of a "vicissitudes old farmer" when he first came here. The original white hair has become the current gray long hair, and his back is straight again. Although he only has one arm, his whole body It looks like a long sword in its sheath, restrained but sharp.

  From outsiders' perspective, Jian Jiuyuan's changes are as unbelievable as "returning old and young".

  But in fact, this is the image that Jian Jiuyuan should have. After all, Jian Jiuyuan is only in his forties this year, and his original appearance like a rotten tree is entirely caused by years of fleeing and overdrawing his origin.

   "Slightly slightly slightly ~~~"

  Hearing Jian Jiuyuan's reprimand, Jian Ling'er was not only not afraid, but shrank back behind Mo Jun and made a face towards Jian Jiuyuan.

   Seeing this, Jian Jiuyuan's eyes also flashed a hint of doting and helplessness.

  A loving father is a loser.

   Jian Jiuyuan naturally understands this truth.

  But Jian Ling'er has suffered so much following behind her since she was born, it can be said that she has never lived a stable life. Now that he finally settled down, how could Jian Jiuyuan have the heart to reprimand him.

  Even though Jian Jiuyuan has tried his best to put on a 'severe' appearance, but if he really wants to 'play hard', Jian Jiuyuan can't do it at all.

   "Ling'er was rude, I hope you will forgive me."

   As a last resort, Jian Jiuyuan, an old father, could only "apology on behalf of the daughter" and said to Mo Jun.

  Mr. Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, Ling'er is lively by nature, so don't worry about it, Senior Jian. Is the mansion still stable recently?"

"When your lord left, some small thieves would occasionally sneak into the county guard's mansion. Later, perhaps because you found out that your lord was not in the mansion, there were fewer people from the rivers and lakes who came. However, the [Medicine Garden] where the medicine ghost master is located, there are often Uninvited guests come and go."

   "Heh~~ Those guys really don't give up!"

Mo Jun sneered, now people in the Jianghu are basically only interested in Mo Jun's head, and those who are interested in [Medicine Garden], except for those few families in the entire South County, I am afraid that no one else knows that Mo Jun's back garden is still there. There is a 【Medicine Garden】.

  It's a pity that Yaogui has been searching for herbs all over the world for 20 years. If he had no means, he probably wouldn't know where it was hung.

   Chatted with Jian Jiuyuan for a few words.

   Not long.

  Mr. Mo met Li Xin in the lobby.

   "General Lee!"

   "Lord Mo!"

  Li Xin and Mo Jun are also acquaintances, so after the two greeted each other, they stopped being polite and went straight to the point.

   "What's the important thing for General Li to come here?"

   "Lord Mo, we have received information that members of the four major clans in Nanjun are now secretly raising food and intending to send it to Chu for disaster relief. Now General Meng has temporarily sealed off the border due to the emergency of war."

  Jun Mo paused slightly when he was about to raise his teacup, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Is this news accurate?"

  Li Daodao: "Nine out of ten."

  If people from the four major clans took the initiative to send food to Chu, Mr. Mo would not believe it. After all, although these people are the old nobles of Chu, they are also a group of guys who have no profit and can’t afford it.

  So the biggest possibility is that someone asked them to do this, and at present, the entire state of Qin is qualified and has the right to order people from the four major clans. Except for the "Queen Dowager of Chu" in Xianyang Palace, Mo Jun can't think of anyone else.

   "That person is really concerned about her family's affairs!"

   Jun Mo sneered, and then said coldly: "What did General Meng say?"

  Li Daodao: "There is someone above to take care of it, and the actions of the four major clans themselves have not violated the law, so we can't stop them from the outside."

   "General Meng means that it is best to start from the dark..."

  Li Xin hadn't finished his sentence when Mo Jun waved his hand and interrupted: "No need. Please General Li dispatch a bunch of people, and leave the rest to me!"

Li Xin was taken aback when he heard Mr. Mo's words, and then his face changed slightly: "Master Mo, don't be impulsive. Although the behavior of the four major clans is disgusting, they are hoarding goods. Doing business across borders is not considered a violation of the laws of Qin. Acting impulsively can easily suffer backlash."

  Mr. Mo sneered and said, "Don't worry! Master Li. I didn't say that I would settle this account with these people!"
