Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mo Family

On the same day, Zhao Jun set up a banquet in the Hou Mansion to entertain the people from the Lu Mansion and Tang Li Mansion, and then the Lu Mansion bought a house in Linzi to settle down, Zhao Jun asked Lu Ze and asked him to come to the Hou Mansion to serve, the Marquis can build his own shogunate, and the first emperor also gave him this right, so Zhao Jun does not need to go through the imperial court in the appointment, but he has to be responsible for the treatment.

As for Tang Li, anyway, there are few people in his mansion, and Tang Shi is the only one who comes, so Zhao Jun simply let him live in the side courtyard of the Hou Mansion, which is also convenient for him to negotiate with Tang Li.

"Tang Li, what do you think of the current situation?" Zhao Jun was in the study room of the third hall of the Houfu and told Tang Li about the situation in Linzi.

After hearing this, Tang Li pondered for a moment, and finally said: "I have two strategies, one urgent and one slow for Hou Ye's reference." ”

"You say." Zhao Jun sat on the round pier in front of the long case, his fingers tapping on the long case very regularly, he was really not used to kneeling.

Tang Li said: "The best policy is to slow down the treatment, just use the similar method of Hou Ye's monthly money, slowly show favor to the people, and slowly win the hearts of the people, and the effect will be visible within three or five years, and the hearts of the people will be returned in ten years." With Hou Ye's iron guard, he asked Hei Bingtai to cooperate and strictly rectify the criminals of Qi State, Diao Min, and within a year, he would be able to reverse the atmosphere of Qi people, and Hou Ye could order a ban. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jun nodded in a deep voice: "Ben Hou naturally wants to choose the best policy, but you have also seen that the monthly case is twenty yuan, but he has not even recruited a single soldier in a month, I am afraid that it is not so easy to subdue the people, and it will take too long, I can't wait." ”

Zhao Jun was a little anxious, there were still five years to go, and that big event was coming, and he had to be fully prepared.

"Could it be that Master Hou forgot Princess Yangxin?" Tang Li suddenly laughed.

Zhao Jun was stunned, "Ling'er? Can she help? ”

Tang Li nodded and said: "Master Hou, as far as I know, the Mo family's nest is in Dongjiao Jimo, in the Warring States Period, because the Qi country was still a hero, and the Mo family's morality was more recognized, so the Mo family's influence in the Qi country is the largest, half of the ten local people are their disciples, this is no exaggeration, and all kinds of connections are complicated, and Shinong industry and commerce have their people."

If the Mo family can do their best to help, then there is a soothing relationship between the Hou Ye and the people, through the drive of the Mo family, there are various preferential treatment of the Hou Ye, at least three years, more than five years, and the hearts of the people of Linzi County will be returned to the Hou Ye. ”

Zhao Jun's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he couldn't help but say: "That's right, I have already sent someone to inform Ling'er, she is doing business in Hengshan County, she should be here in the next few days, we are waiting." ”

"Well, but Master Hou might as well write a letter back to Xianyang, hand it to Lord Mutai of Heibing Terrace, and present a note to Your Majesty, and it is best to sign the names of several county officials in Linzi County." Tang Li said again.

"You mean, hehe, it's really good to pay attention, I told my father and asked him to reduce the four-tier taxes and conscription in Linzi within six years." Zhao Jun understood in an instant that the note to the emperor was crying poor, writing about the situation in Linzi more miserably, and winning sympathy points, as for the letter to Mu Ning, it was a coincidence, so that even if the predicament of Linzi County was exaggerated, the Black Ice Platform could cover the past.

Tang Li nodded and smiled: "Hou Ye is wise, His Majesty will definitely not tell this matter in the imperial court at that time, so as not to plead with His Majesty by other county guards, so the people of Linzi will think that this is a gift from Hou Ye, and they will always remember Hou Ye for your goodness." ”

"Well, yes, in the past two days, you will go to the county guard mansion to familiarize yourself with the government affairs of Linzi as soon as possible, Sima Xin is capable, but this person is not easy to control, you should pay more attention, we can't let people cheat." Zhao Jun nodded, now he just waited for Zhao Ling to come back.

Tang Li nodded and said, "Yes, Master Hou." ”

In the next few days, Zhao Jun was patiently waiting for Zhao Ling to come back, and at the same time, he arranged Lu Ze to be in charge of the management of 20,000 recruits in the Beida Battalion, so that Dong Fei could get out of charge and take charge of the security in the county.

has been waiting for more than half a month, Zhao Jun's bamboo slips to the emperor also have a reply, the emperor is still very generous, but he has allowed five years, Zhao Jun calculated, the time is just right, and after that incident, it is his own decision to pay taxes and levies.

"Master Hou, Princess Yangxin has arrived." On this day, Zhao Jun was practicing martial arts in front of the Triple Hall of the Hou Mansion, and Wang Shan, the commander of the iron guard on duty, came in.

Zhao Jun was overjoyed, put away the crude Fang Tian painting halberd, "Quickly let her in." ”

Soon, Zhao Ling walked in plain clothes and with a light face, but he looked a little dusty.

"Hehe, you're tired, go to the backyard first, I'll prepare the room for you, and eat something after resting." Zhao Jun took her hand with some pity and asked.

Zhao Ling's heart warmed, only to feel that the fatigue all over his body suddenly disappeared, only sweetness remained, shaking his head Zhao Ling said: "Brother, I heard that you have something important to help the Mo family?" ”

"Well, the current situation in Linzi is very bad." Zhao Jun told Linzi's predicament as he spoke, and at the same time told Tang Li's thoughts.

Zhao Ling pondered for a moment after hearing this, nodded and said, "If the master and they help, there should be no big problem, but I am afraid that the master and the uncle will not be able to persuade me." ”

"If you don't try it, didn't my father say it when he left, as long as the Mo family is willing to give up force, they can admit the location of the Mo family, and I think the people of the Mo family are not willing to live a dark life."

Zhao Ling nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try my best to convince the master, then I'll take you there now." ”

Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, you rest first, it's late anyway, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow." ”

After resting for the night, Zhao Jun followed Zhao Ling to Jimo on the second day, and handed over all the government affairs to Tang Li.

Dongjiao County is in the south of Linzi County, the two places are next to each other, and Linzi is also very close to Jimo County of Dongjiao County, just four days, the two arrived on horseback.

The Mo family's rudder is not in Jimo County, but in a deep mountain to the west, the Mo family advocates frugality and asceticism, living, wearing, eating and traveling are simple, and with surplus money, they are also invested in the development of the Mo family, or serve them with the ideal of love and non-attack.

"Brother, it's in this mountain." Zhao Ling pointed to a steep mountain road, this mountain is high and dangerous, not to mention, it is still the largest mountain range in Qidi, the depth is not many miles, even hunters can rarely go deep.

Before walking to the foot of the mountain, Zhao Jun could only hike into the mountain with Zhao Ling, bypassing many hidden trails along the way before entering the range of the Mo family's rudder, the Mo family's rudder was in a valley, when walking towards the valley, Zhao Jun couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, there were various organs to defend along the way, if it wasn't for Zhao Ling to lead the way, it would be difficult for him to break into even if he took all the iron guards, and it was even more impossible for the soldiers to clear it, just the mountains and mountains and these hidden trails could block the army outside, no wonder the Mo family was not worried about the Qin army breaking through.

Zhao Jun was dumbfounded by those strange mechanisms along the way, some of them were very difficult to understand for a while even with his physical knowledge, and they were definitely several times more powerful than the mechanisms in Zhao Sheng's grave, if he accidentally touched them, there was only a dead end.

Many of the Mo family members I met on the road saluted Zhao Ling, the holy woman, but they were more like a faithful scholar, often after bowing to Zhao Ling, they concentrated on fiddling with the organs, or practicing martial arts, or reading, everyone seemed to be ascetics, this spirit was very touching.

When Zhao Jun walked into the valley, he also saw all kinds of inexplicable buildings, according to Zhao Ling, these are the precious wealth of the Mo family, and this valley is also the foundation of the Mo family, and warned Zhao Jun not to walk around, otherwise it is possible to touch the mechanism, and it is not good to be misunderstood by the people of the Mo family.

The more this is the case, the more Zhao Jun wants to get the support of the Mo family, once these tricks are used in the army, they are definitely big killing weapons, and in fact, since the Spring and Autumn Period, many city defense equipment have been invented or improved by the Mo family, such as knife cars, yaksha rings, as well as horse faces and searchlights suitable for crossbowmen on the city wall, as well as city trucks and wells, including the Qin Dynasty's continuous bow and crossbow have the participation of the Mo family.

"Brother, we're waiting here, I've already asked someone to inform the master that they're coming." Zhao Ling first took Zhao Jun to a room in the valley.

And soon, Le Rui appeared with a middle-aged man.

"Hehe, Master Hou, we meet again, your achievements are really beyond the old man's expectations." Le Rui immediately smiled when he saw Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun also hugged his fists and said: "Jun has seen the giant, and the giant's mind has always made Zhao Jun admire, this time I took the liberty to visit, I hope it didn't disturb the giant." ”

"Hey, where are you, with your kindness to my Mo family, as well as your relationship with Ling'er, my Mo family is open to you at any time, I am very happy that you can come." After Le Rui finished speaking, he pointed to a middle-aged man who was a little thin next to him: "This is my junior brother-in-law, who is in charge of my Mo family's organ research." ”

As soon as Zhao Jun heard this, he looked at the emaciated middle-aged man, he was unkempt and a little sloppy at first glance, but Zhao Jun could see a kind of fanaticism in his eyes, that kind of crazy dedication to certain skills.

The Mo family is generally divided into three parts, one part is responsible for spreading the essence of the Mo family, for example, Le Rui is the leader of the inheritance of the Mo family's thoughts, and the other part is responsible for the Mo family's force, using force to defend the Mo family and promote morality, but later these people have deteriorated a little, when they kidnapped Lu Pheasant and was killed by Zhao Jun, the leader who was responsible for the force of Ren Xia.

The last part is the most famous mechanism of the Mo family, so Zhao Jun is very respectful to the public ruler.

"The army has seen Mr. Gongyi, could it be that Mr. Gongyi is a descendant of Gonglosing?"

Gong Yi is the ancestor of the civil craftsman, Lu Ban, because he is a native of Lu and is similar to the class, so people are used to calling Lu Ban.

"Exactly." There are not many words in the public ruler, and it even looks a little cold, and there are three points of arrogance, and it seems that he is reluctant to talk more.

Zhao Ling smiled beside him: "My uncle is like this, brother, don't see it." ”

Zhao Jun shook his head and said that he didn't care, people with ability are generally a little arrogant.

Then Zhao Jun took out a bamboo booklet, handed it to the public ruler and said, "I don't know that this bamboo book can be used in the eyes of Mr. Gongyi?" ”

Gong Yi was stunned for a moment, took it, and looked at it with a puzzled face, and asked Zhao Jun with some trembling: "This is"

"That's right, this is exactly the theory of erudition in Mr. Wang Xu's book Guiguzi, and the miscellaneous aspects of organs are all above." Zhao Jun nodded and said, after Zhao Ling introduced him to the specific situation of the Mo family last night, Zhao Jun copied the part about miscellaneous studies in Guiguzi overnight, since he wanted to persuade the Mo family, he naturally couldn't help but prepare.

"Thank you, thank you, the old man can witness this in his lifetime, and die without regrets." The male ruler bowed while thanking him, the expression on his face was very excited, and finally he couldn't help but look at it next to him.
