Chapter 133 Qizhen Mountain, the Garden of Alien Beasts
"Judging from the tone of the old man, you seem to respect Mr. Shengping very much?"
"Of course, since Mr. Shengping came, this year in our entire town, there have been no people starving to death in previous years. Not only that, this year, basically every household in our town has been arranged by Mr. Shengping to do work. , and all of them were paid wages, if it was replaced by working for those landlords in the past, it would be considered good if they could not lose money themselves."
The old farmer is just like the "toll collector" at the entrance of Qinping Avenue. As soon as the word Shengpingjun is mentioned, the whole person suddenly becomes energetic, shaking his head and saying:
"What's more, Mr. Shengping also distributed the 'new grain' to all of us who are digging food in the fields for free. This new grain is really amazing!"
"The old man has lived for so many years, and he has never seen such a good harvest like this year. One mu of ordinary fertile land can actually harvest three stones of grain."
"Even if half of it is handed over, the rest alone can be worth the entire harvest of one mu of land in previous years."
"However, the old man's town is still too far away from the mansion of Lord Shengping. I heard that many people from Qunshan County and Heishi County were hired by Lord Shengping to build the mansion this year. That's really lucky!"
"Hey, the wages alone cost six big dollars a day, which is the same as the wages of those rich households in Xianyang. It is said that many people have earned almost a thousand just during the period of building the mansion for Lord Shengping Big money."
When it came to the end, the old farmer's eyes inevitably showed an expression of envy. After all, the value of a thousand big coins is close to three gold coins. Even in Xianyang, this is a huge deposit for ordinary people.
Not to mention that in Hanzhong, which has been poor for many years, for the farmers here, a thousand dollars is simply an astronomical sum.
All three could see the satisfaction and happiness on the old farmer's face.
However, Tian Guang noticed another problem in the old farmer's words, couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked: "Old man, you just said that half of the output will be handed over. Could it be that half of the output in the field will be handed over to Lord Shengping?" ?”
Hearing this, the old farmer cast a sidelong glance at Tian Guang, and said with a half-smile: "What? Could it be that you think you have paid too much?"
Tian Guang nodded and said: "If my memory is correct, Qin's taxes are only required to pay [-]% of the grain production, why in Hanzhong, they have to pay half instead."
The old farmer sneered and said, "It looks like you haven't done anything in the fields. Qin's laws really only require us low-level people to pay [-]% of the tax. We also need to turn in at least [-] to [-] percent of the grain.”
"And now, although Lord Shengping seems to have asked us servants to hand in a lot of food, but if you really count it, it's much more cost-effective than before."
"What's more, this 'new grain' was created by Mr. Shengping with great painstaking efforts. Even if someone really pumped some oil and water into it, that would be a matter of course."
"You youngsters! They just don't know what's good and what's wrong, and they can't even tell the difference between good and bad."
"Don't look at the fact that Mr. Shengping holds all the farmland in Hanzhong in his own hands, as if he has robbed the fields of our servants. If it weren't for Mr. Shengping, these fields would not be in our hands now, and Those landlords in the past will only exploit more severely."
"Even if half of the food is handed over now, the remaining food is enough to provide the old man's family with a safe and secure life."
"If you don't believe me, you can go outside and have a look now. How many places in Qin State this year can you say are better than ours in Hanzhong?"
The old farmer said, looked at the three people in front of him, and shook his head with a look of hatred.
For problems like this, the old farmers have corrected countless people this year. It's a pity that these young people are too straight-headed and don't know how to think about things flexibly.
They don't even think about it.
Mr. Shengping has indeed taken away all their farmland now.
But before that, are these farmlands their own?
To be honest, Mr. Shengping snatched all these farmlands from those landlords and nobles...ah no, they took them back.And their own fields have already been 'bought' by those landlords and nobles.
The dignified peasant hero, who had never been off the ground after being criticized by an old farmer, heard the words of the six-fingered black hero and Fu Nian who almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
But after they listened to the old farmer's explanation, the eyes of the three of them froze.
Because they heard another important message from this passage.
"Mr. Shengping took all the farmland in Hanzhong into his own hands?"
The three of them looked at each other, and each of them saw the shock in the eyes of the two opposite.
To know.
The problem of "land annexation" of local aristocratic landlords is a hidden danger that is always difficult to solve not only in Qin State, but also in other countries.
Although Fu Nian, Liuzhi Heixia, and Tian Guang come from different backgrounds, they all have similar ideals in their hearts, that is, "Save the common people and bring peace to the world".
So it is impossible for the three of them not to pay attention to such a 'land merger' issue.
But before that.
The three of them had thought of countless ways to solve this problem in their minds, but in the end they all found nothing.
Unexpectedly, the "land annexation" in Hanzhong was actually solved by Mo Jun in such a simple and rude way, how could this not shock the three of them.
······
Farewell to the old farmer.
The three of them continued to walk towards the mountain county where Mo Jun was located.
along the way.
What the three of them saw the most in Hanzhong were patches of dense rice fields, which shone like gold under the sun.
In the rice fields, the dark-skinned farmers with happy smiles on their faces were a scene they had never seen in other countries.
Soon.
The three came to Tieshi Village, Heishi County.
Just when the three of them entered the village, they suddenly heard the sound of beating gongs and drums. The three of them followed the sound and saw a wedding reception team not far away, heading towards the direction of the three of them. come over.
Seeing this, Six Fingers Heixia suddenly laughed and said, "You two, why don't I go and ask for a wedding wine?"
The three of them have been on the road so far, except for some simple dry food, they really haven't eaten much food. Now that they heard Liuzhi Heixia speak, Fu Nian and Tian Guang suddenly showed some excitement.
In fact, the three of them are not hypocritical people, so naturally it is impossible for them to suffer a little bit.
But on the way, it is a happy event to meet a wedding reception team and witness the wedding of a couple of couples. It is a happy event to have a meal like this.
Thinking of this.
The three of them also walked towards the marriage team.
At first, seeing three strangers approaching, the leader of the marriage team was a little strange, but after hearing that the three were just passers-by on their way, they came to ask for a wedding drink.
The bridegroom officer in front also agreed without hesitation, and cupped his hands happily and said: "Today is my big day, my father said, all the guests who come today are guests, if the three distinguished guests are willing to come to my house for a happy meal, I will definitely welcome."
Although there are etiquettes for rural men to get married, it is obviously not as complicated as the princes and nobles.
After the three of them returned to the man's home with the team that had received the bride, they first each took [-] big coins as wedding money, and then witnessed a quite different wedding.
The reason why I say it is different.
Because of this wedding, the newlyweds not only worshiped their parents, but also heaven and earth.
What's more, there is actually a birthday card in the middle of the main seat of the high platform, where the man's parents are sitting.
The three of them took a closer look.
I saw that the name written on this pair of ancestral hall plaques was the name of 'Sheng Pingjun'.
This unremarkable wedding once again allowed the three of them to see Mo Jun's terrifying prestige in Hanzhong.
After the wedding process is over.
Naturally, it was time to open the table.
Under the anticipation of everyone, they saw dishes being brought to the table one after another. Tian Guang, Fu Nian, and Liuzhi Heixia took a look and found that there were not only fish, chicken, and even sheep at the banquet this time.
A whole three meat dishes.
This is already an absolute luxury banquet for an ordinary peasant family.
Seeing this, the three of them were also slightly surprised.
After all, judging from their observation just now, the man's family who got married this time doesn't look like a wealthy family at all!
And in the next second, the doubts in the hearts of the three were answered by several villagers at the same table.
"Hey~~ Fish, chicken, sheep, three meat dishes, the ostentation that Uncle Tiezi prepared for the little boy in the family this time is really big enough!"
"In the past six months, how much money has Uncle Tiezi made in the water?"
"I don't know! But I heard from those who went fishing in the river with Uncle Tiezi that Uncle Tiezi has earned this amount in the past six months."
As he spoke, the villager gestured with his fingers, revealing the number 'eight'.
See here.
The rest of the people suddenly widened their eyes and said sourly.
"Eight hundred dollars! Good guy, Uncle Tie Zi is really lucky this year!"
"That is, and this amount of money is only a small amount. You must know that Uncle Tiezi was hired by Mr. Shengping to be the second reservoir of our [Heishi County] because of his 'fishing' skills not long ago. ]’s team leader, I heard that this team leader has 120 big money every month alone!”
"120 big money, my dear, is this true or not?"
"Nonsense, of course it's true. Why don't you think that Laoshantou's family at the entrance of the village is willing to marry his girl to Uncle Tiezi's little boy? After all these years, Laoshantou has always regarded himself as a treasure. If she is raised, I hope to find a good husband's family for her!"
"No wonder Uncle Tiezi gave the memorial tablet of Lord Shengping higher than himself when we got married today. If it were me, I would have to give Lord Shengping a memorial tablet too!"
"Why, is it possible that you don't have to pay now? Don't think I don't know. Your kid was hired by Lord Shengping to build roads in Qinling Mountains this year, and he made a lot of money!"
"Hi! Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Listening to the conversations of the villagers next to them, Tian Guang, Fu Nian, and Liuzhi Heixia also felt a little numb.
Just one day.
The three of them saw too many things in Hanzhong. Compared with the Seven Kingdoms where wars are raging and disasters occur frequently, Hanzhong today is like a paradise.
And all of this seems to be related to the 'Shengping Jun' who is almost becoming a legend in the world.
Finish a meal.
The sky has also gradually darkened.
Six Fingers Heixia, Fu Nian, and Tian Guang simply rested overnight on the spot, and the three of them did not start their journey again until the next day, continuing to walk towards Kunshan County...
······
Xinmofu.
This super-large manor, which involved thousands of people and used blue bricks and cement, took nearly half a year to build, was finally completed half a month ago.
When the New Mo Mansion was being built, Mr. Mo added many architectural concepts of later generations. The only pity is that the glass has not yet been fired, so many buildings are not very complete.
till this moment.
The only place that satisfies Mo Jun the most is the entire backyard of Xinmo Mansion.
The backyard of Xinmo Mansion encompasses the entire Huihui Mountain...
No.
Precisely.
Now it is no longer called 'Huaihui Mountain', but [Qizhen Mountain].
It means to collect rare and elixir medicines from all over the world.
And a relatively low hill next to [Qizhen Mountain] was originally just an abandoned forest, but now it is blocked by Mo Jun with extremely thick and extremely high walls.
Because there are now at least a dozen 'exotic beasts' in captivity.
These 'exotic beasts' were all captured by Jinpeng from the depths of the Qinling Mountains, and I don't know who they learned from. In the past, most of them were caught and eaten when they hunted outside.
It's good now, Tiantian came back from the depths of the Qinling Mountains to capture the 'strange beast' alive, and urged Mo Jun to help him raise and breed it, so that it can have a private 'pasture' in the future.
When these 'strange beasts' were captured by Jin Peng at the beginning, they made a fuss in the Mo Mansion for quite a while.
After all, although things like 'extraordinary beasts' are not as rare and precious as 'elixir', it is not so easy for ordinary people to see them. Some docile alien beasts are okay, but some are similar to the 'Xuanhu' near the Guigu sect. It is also quite scary to see the strange beast appearing in the manor all of a sudden.
It wasn't until Mo Jun used [Life Crystal] and [Red Small Crystal Block] to concoct a kind of 'exotic beast feed' and successfully tamed these 'exotic beasts' that the Mo Mansion finally returned to calm.
After that, Mo Jun simply moved the poisonous blood snake and some messy animals on the [Qizhen Mountain] to the nearby hill, and then summoned craftsmen to surround the entire hill with a high wall.
In the end, they entrusted Yaogui and Gongshu's family to work together, and then arranged several defense organs along the high wall, so as to prevent the strange beasts from escaping, and secondly, to prevent others from breaking in without authorization.
In this way, another [Garden of Alien Beasts] was created.
