"That's right, let's continue to build according to this standard!"

After completing the acceptance and confirming that there should be no quality problems with the embankment under his feet, Mo Jun clapped his hands and stood up, and said to Zhanqin behind him.

"Yes, sir!"

Zhanqin replied.

Looking at the embankment under his feet, Zhanqin's eyes were a little excited, in fact, the completion of this embankment is the most beneficial for Zhanqin.

Because after Mo Jun left Nanjun, the person who took over the position of the county guard of Nanjun was Zhanqin. At that time, the benefits brought by these dams to Nanjun will eventually be turned into merits and recorded on Zhanqin's resume.

So to speak.

With the role of these dikes, in the next few years, Nanjun can basically ensure that 'the wind and rain are smooth, and the people are happy', but if Zhanqin does not die, even if a dog is put in the position of Nanjun County guard, it can be as stable as Mount Tai.

"By the way, my lord, Xianyang ······ over there"

Suddenly, Zhanqin's eyes moved, as if she remembered something, and couldn't help but ask.

"I've already arranged it over there, you don't have to worry about it."

Mo Jun naturally knew what Zhanqin was talking about, 'cement' is definitely a 'strategic material' at the moment, and its role is definitely the same as 'improved rice seeds'.

And like this kind of 'strategic material', Mo Jun obviously can't play with it alone. To be precise, in this kind of feudal society, except for the king can control this kind of thing on a large scale, it is definitely not a good thing for any private person to hold it in his hands.

So as early as half a month ago, Mo Jun had already sent a copy of the secret recipe and samples to Xianyang.

According to the time estimate, Yingzheng has almost already experimented with the effect of 'cement'.

Walk down the embankment.

Mo Jun was just about to leave in the carriage, when suddenly, he saw a large group of people coming over in front of him.

Seeing so many people coming suddenly, the black-armored soldier in front subconsciously raised his weapon, but an old man with snow-white hair and beard at the front of the crowd and walking on crutches had just come to the position of three or four steps in front of the black-armored soldier, and he knelt on the ground with an excited 'poof'.

"The little old man has kowtowed to the adult."

"The old man can't help it."

As the saying goes, '70 and do what you want', in the current era, any old man who can live to be over 70 years old can already be called auspicious among the local population.

The laws of the Qin State even stipulate that the elderly over the age of seventy can see the official and not worship.

So in the face of such an old man whose beard had already hung down to his chest, he suddenly knelt down towards him, not to mention Mo Jun, even Zhanqin, Moon Maiden, Zhu Yeqing, Wine Sword Idiot and others behind Mo Jun all avoided on both sides.

Then I saw Zhanqin hurriedly come to the old man's side and help him up. Mo Jun dispersed the black-armored soldiers in front of him, came to the old man's side, and said gently: "The old man has a long life! ”

The old man saluted respectfully and said, "Little old man is a little blessed, he is already seventy-six this year." Now thanks to the villagers, he has been temporarily added as the village chief of Longwang Village. ”

Longwang Village is the closest large village to the Longwang River nearby, and it is also one of the villages that suffered the most from the flood.

"Xiao Lao'er's Longwang Village is adjacent to the Longwang River, and every time there is a big flood, it will be flooded. In the past 10 years, 71 villagers have starved to death due to the floods alone. ”

"Now, my lord is benevolent and has built such a magnificent embankment with the art of creation, so that my Longwang Village will be spared from flooding from now on. Such a great kindness, the little old man is unforgettable. ”

"Please accept me!"

In the end, the old village chief of Longwang Village was already in tears of excitement, and a pair of dry hands full of traces of time were even more stubbornly tugging on Mo Jun's wrist and refusing to let go.

At the same time, his knees bent, and he had to kneel down towards Mo Jun again.

Fortunately, this time Mo Jun was close, and before he could kneel, Mo Jun had already reached out to help him up, and said again and again: "The old man can't help it, you are an elder, such a big gift is really tormenting me." ”

Seeing that Mo Jun repeatedly blocked him, the village chief of Longwang Village had no choice but to wipe the tears left in the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, it seems that Xiao Lao'er has no such blessing." ”

The village chief of Longwang Village no longer forced himself to salute, but turned around and said loudly to a group of villagers from Longwang Village behind him: "You bunch of fools, have you heard, the old man doesn't have this blessing to salute our great benefactor today." What are you still doing here? and not yet kneel and prostrate to our great benefactor. ”

The old man's voice just fell.

I saw the hundreds of villagers of Longwang Village behind him, hulala, kneeling down a large piece, and kowtowing one after another: "Please accept my wait!" ”

Hundreds of people knelt down and kowtowed at the same time, and the momentum suddenly attracted the attention of a large number of people around.

Mo Jun did not avoid this salute again.

This is the same scene when the new rice seeds in Bashu were ripe, some Limo Jun needed to bear it, and he could also stand it.

But just because he can stand it doesn't mean that others can stand it too.

Basically, when these villagers knelt, the Moon Girl, Zhu Yeqing, and Jian Ling'er behind Mo Jun, as well as a group of black-armored soldiers and local county commanders and county officials, had already avoided or turned sideways with interest.

Although the county officials and county orders can also withstand the kneeling of the peasants, the kneeling of others is a favor, not a right.

If you take it.

Who knows if you will lose your life.

Yuenu, Jiujian Idiot, and Zhu Yeqing have joined Mofu for the shortest time, and since they joined, the three of them have seen the most images of Mojun, which are 'divine doctors', 'murderers' and "nobles who know how to enjoy".

And after seeing the scene in front of them today, Mo Jun in the eyes of the three of them suddenly became unfamiliar.

The eyes of the two women, Zhu Yeqing and Yuenu, flashed, revealing a little thought and confusion.

Even the prodigal son who was the most casual and comfortable with the sword idiot, couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Mo Jun's eyes at this moment.

【Divine Doctor】

【Murderer】

【A nobleman who knows how to enjoy】

[A good official who is kind to the people]

Time.

The three of them couldn't tell which one was the real Mojun.

······

The other side.

Inside the Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng had just finished dealing with a batch of twists and turns, and hurriedly walked towards a courtyard in the back garden.

"Mr. Gainie, how is the situation?"

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Ying Zheng saw Gai Nie, who had been waiting here for a long time, and immediately asked.

Gai Nie did not respond immediately, but turned his body slightly sideways, and then saw a gray-white stone wall appear in Ying Zheng's eyes, and when he saw the stone wall, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

The next moment.

I saw him stride to the stone wall, first reached out and knocked, and then kicked and kicked.

In the end, he found that the stone wall did not move at all, but his hands and feet were a little painful, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in Ying Zheng's eyes.

"Bring the bronze sword!"

Ying Zheng commanded majestically towards one of the guards behind him.

The guard listened to the order, immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist, and handed it to Ying Zheng with both hands.

Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling the people around him to retreat, and then holding the bronze sword with both hands, he slashed at the stone wall.

The sound of a bell.

The sword and the stone wall suddenly sputtered a spark.

The huge power shook Ying Zheng's own hands a little numb, but Ying Zheng didn't care at all, but first raised the copper sword to take a look, only to see that there were already a few more dents on the blade of the copper sword.

On the other hand, the stone wall has only a shallow mark left on it.

"Okay~~ Hahaha!"

Seeing this scene, even if he had already known the hardness of this thing through the description on the secret letter in advance, but after seeing it with his own eyes, Ying Zheng still couldn't help laughing loudly: "Mo Qing is really a blessing for the widow. ”

This stone wall was naturally built by Yingzheng with the 'cement sample' sent by Mojun.

Let's be honest.

It was also sent by Mo Jun to send this secret letter, otherwise if someone else told Ying Zheng that he had created a kind of artifact that could make sand and soil become like stone in three days, Ying Zheng probably wouldn't believe it.

Laughed for a while.

Ying Zheng then said to Gai Nie on the side: "What does Mr. Gai Nie think of this thing?" ”

Gai Nie glanced at the stone wall, this thing was built by him personally, so he naturally knew better than anyone else what kind of miraculous effect this 'cement' had in just three days to become as hard as bluestone.

So after thinking for a moment, Gai Nie slowly hugged his sword and saluted, and calmly gave eight words.

"A weapon of war, an artifact of people's livelihood."

"Hahaha~~ Mr. doesn't lose his teacher out of the Ghost Valley, what he said is not wrong at all."

Similar to Gai Nie's thoughts, after Ying Zheng saw the miraculous effect of 'cement', the same eight words came to mind, and even the order was the same.

War comes first, people's livelihood comes last.

At present, when siege is still the main means of warfare, the use of 'cement' on the battlefield is too great.

The 'first generation of improved rice seeds' strengthened the logistics of the Qin state.

"Cement" once again sharpened the peak of the Qin army.

Holding these two artifacts in his hand, a flame called 'ambition' quietly burned in Yingzheng's heart.

"Mo Qing's talent, if he continues to be placed in Nanjun to govern a county, it would be a pity. Now it has been almost two years since Mo Qing served as the county guard of Nanjun, and it is time to recall him back to Xianyang. ”

Ying Zheng had a thought in his heart, because of the oppression of Lü Buwei and Chang Yu, in order to protect Mojun, Ying Zheng could only temporarily send him to Nanjun, intending to keep it for later use.

As a result, even Ying Zheng never expected that after the decentralization of Nanjun, Mojun actually had a bit of a momentum of 'the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly'.

Not only did he not feel suppressed in Nanjun, but he sent assists from Nanjun one after another, and helped Yingzheng catch Chang Yu one after another, knocked down Lu Buwei, and suppressed the Empress Dowager Huayang.

Now that Yingzheng is in power, it's time to give Mo Jun the reward he deserves.

······

······

September.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the autumn harvest season of another year.

Nanjun County Shoufu, who is already sixteen years old and has climbed to 1.82 meters tall, put down the third secret letter sent by Yingzheng this year, asking him to return to Xianyang to receive the reward.

This time.

He did not continue to reply, asking for a postponement of the reward.

Because just a few days ago, all his arrangements in South County finally came to an end.

Even Mo Jun himself didn't expect that he would stay here in Nanjun for much longer than he imagined.

The first is to take over all the businesses, businesses, and channels of the [Quadripartite Chamber of Commerce]. and the inventory of the real estate and property of the twenty-seven nobles of Nanjun.

The time and energy spent on this matter was far more long than Mo Jun expected.

The legacy of the old aristocracy in these places is very strong.

If it weren't for the fact that Mo Jun had been sitting in Nanjun this year, it would not be easy for Xiong Daxiong Er and Zhanqin to successfully receive these 'inheritances'.

In addition, the construction of the embankment is also very large, so in order to prevent accidents at the last moment, resulting in a failure.

Mo Jun finally decided to finish this matter and leave Nanjun again.

"My lord, Hong Xun is here!"

At this moment, the sound of Zhanqin came from outside the door.

"I see."

Mo Jun answered, and then cleaned up the bamboo slips on the table and stacked them one by one. After a brief tidying up, he slowly pushed open the door.

A ray of scorching sunlight fell, making Mo Jun subconsciously squint, and when his sight recovered, he saw Zhanqin, Hei Yu, Jian Jiuyuan, Jian Ling'er, Moon Girl, Wine Sword Idiot, Zhu Yeqing and others standing outside the door.

"Let's go!"

Mo Jun spoke lightly, and then took the lead in walking out.

Out of the county guard's mansion.

The carriage had not gone far when the sound of children reading the Analects could be heard in a courtyard by the side of the road.

Zi said: Learn and learn from time to time, not to say. There are friends from afar, and they are ······."

"Zeng Zi said: I am three times a day, and I am not loyal to others? Making friends and not believing them? Are you used to it? ”

"Zi said: I am fifteen and aspiring to learn, thirty and standing, forty and not confused······"

Hearing these voices, Mo Jun suddenly spoke: "Stop!" ”

Sigh~

Zhanqin hurriedly stopped the carriage and asked, "My lord, do you want to go and have a look?" ”

As soon as Zhanqin's words fell, Mo Jun had already lifted the curtain and walked out, saying, "Well, let's take one last look!" ”

Walk into the courtyard.

The first thing that catches my eye is two three-story high, boxy buildings that look like boxes, but have dozens of rooms.

This is a dormitory and teaching building built by Mojun in imitation of the teaching buildings of later generations, made of cement.

And this courtyard is not another place, it is the [orphanage] specially built by Mo Jun in this era, and the children who were rescued from the 'meat pool' of the twenty-seven nobles were also raised in it.

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing Mo Jun coming, a young man dressed as a scholar in the teaching building and teaching children to read and write immediately greeted him and saluted respectfully.

"Ah~~ It's Brother Mo!"

"Brother Mojun, you finally came to see us!"

"Lord Mo!"

A group of children who were just about ten years old, when they saw Mo Jun coming, they immediately fluttered over like ducklings and chirped in Mo Jun's ears.

Most of these children's injuries have now healed, and for a few people with severed limbs, Mo Jun also bought a batch of robotic hands and feet from the Gongyi family and replaced them.

So now these children don't have much of a problem, at least in their daily activities.

Mo Jun and these lively children made a fuss for a while.

He patted the heads of a few more children who were still somewhat mentally closed as a sign of encouragement.

"Lord Mo, are you leaving?"

And at this moment, a slightly older boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, suddenly asked Mo Jun such a sentence.

As soon as this statement came out.

Suddenly all the children fell silent.

Mo Jun looked at the boy, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who told you this?" ”

The boy said honestly: "I said it last time when Master Zhan came. ”

Mo Jun glanced back at Zhanqin, and Zhanqin also looked embarrassed.

Zhanqin is naturally not a person with a very loose mouth, but when facing these children, sometimes he will talk a little, who knows that he just said it casually, and he will actually be remembered by this child.

After thinking about it, Mo Jun touched the little boy's head and said slowly: "Yes, Master Mo is indeed leaving." But the adults are going to Xianyang to become a big official, so you should congratulate me. ”

When Mo Jun finished saying this, he could obviously feel the mood of the group of children around him, and he suddenly became a lot lower.

There are even a few younger ones, whose mouths can't help but deflat.

On the contrary, the little boy who had just started suddenly pulled away Mo Jun's hand and said, "Then Lord Mo will wait for me." ”

said.

The little boy suddenly turned around and ran back, and after a while, he returned with a small package on his body.

See this scene.

Mo Jun was immediately happy, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here?" ”

The little boy held his head high and said: "When my mother was still alive, she told me that if you have kindness, you will repay it, so I thought about it, I want to go with Master Mo." ”

And just as the little boy's voice fell, he saw a group of children running behind him, all carrying large and small burdens, and said loudly:

"And me, and me!"

"And a few of us too."

"I'm going to go with Master Mo too."

······

Seeing this scene, several adults at the scene immediately looked at Zhanqin, and Zhanqin quickly turned his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

"My lord, this ······"

The young scholar who had been teaching children before was suddenly embarrassed.

And Mo Jun looked at the group of children in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Do you really want to go with me?" Maybe I'll be very happy in the future. ”

"I'm not afraid of hardship!"

The little boy was the first to speak.

When the rest of the people heard this, they also echoed it.

"I'm not afraid."

"And I, too."

Hearing the words of this group of children, Mo Jun thought for a long time, and finally made a decision, "Okay! Since you've decided to go with me, let's go together. ”

"Alas!"

"Great."

"Ah~~~ They can all go, then I will also follow Master Mo."

"Yes, we're going too."

Children love to be lively, and when they saw Mo Jun agreeing, they immediately shouted.

However, no matter what Mo Jun said, it was obviously impossible to return to Xianyang with a few hundred children, so in the end, after a long period of appeasement, plus the first few children, Mo Jun selected a total of thirty people and followed him out of the orphanage.

Of these thirty children, Mo Jun sent them back to the county guard mansion first, while he then walked in the direction of the Dragon King River.

After 50,000 workers and a whole year of construction.

Now, the embankment that covers the entire bank of the Yongwang River and is called 'Longwang Dam' has finally been built.

More than a dozen key nodes, as well as the location of the dam, are built with 'cement'. As for the other parts of the ridge, they are still made of mud.

When Mojun arrived.

On the Longwang Dam on both banks, people are already standing.

"Lord Mo is here!"

I don't know who suddenly shouted, and then I saw that the people around me were boiling instantly, and they surrounded Mo Jun in the blink of an eye.

Mo Jun said a brief hello to the people around him.

Then he took a look at the water of the Longwang River, the autumn flood season is coming, and the water level of the Longwang River is at least three or four feet higher than in the past, and he still cares about the speed rising almost visible to the naked eye.

See here.

Mo Jun no longer hesitated, and said directly: "Close the gate!" ”

With an order.

At the feet of everyone, this head gate, which belonged to one of the twelve gates of Longwang Dam, was also the last gate left for Mo Jun to watch the ceremony.

Boom.

The entire gate was shut shut in an instant.

A long wait ensued······

Until late afternoon.

At this time, the water level of the Longwang River has already exceeded two-thirds of the position of the embankment, and the surging river water continues to set off large waves, slapping on the ridge and embankment again and again.

Every time he slaps, the people around him can't help but pinch in their hearts.

After all, although the embankment has been built, the final effect depends on whether he can withstand the test of the Longwang River.

The big waves crashed all night.

Until the second day.

The water level of the Yongwang River has finally stopped rising.

As the dawn breaks.

News finally came from afar:

"Report, Lord Qiqimo, the twelfth gate is fine."

"Report, Lord Qiqi, the seventh gate is fine."

"Report, Lord Qiqi, the third gate is fine."

······

With one good news after another, finally, with the message that the last gate was 'unhindered', the people present finally couldn't help cheering.

The entire embankment turned into a boiling crowd in an instant.

"Oooooooooo

"Good! That's great! ”

"If you block it, you won't have to suffer from floods again."

"Thank you, Lord Mo!"

"Thank you, Lord Mo!"

"Thank you, Lord Mo!"

······

This time, there were many more people who thanked Mo Jun and even knelt and kowtowed, than the hundreds of villagers in Longwang Village last time.

Tens of thousands of people knelt down and kowtowed to Mo Jun, and just looking at that scene was enough to make several people behind Mo Jun feel a dry mouth.

"Master Mo, please follow the lower officials."

At this moment, a county magistrate suddenly came to Mo Jun and bowed down and spoke.

There was a slight hint of doubt in Mo Jun's eyes, but he still walked over with him, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come to the front of a building similar to the 'Land Temple'.

There appears to be a statue in the center of the Land Temple, but it is covered with a red cloth.

The county order said: "Lord Mo, please also uncover it." ”

The surrounding peasants also chimed in: "Please uncover it." ”

Mo Jun was stunned for a moment, then came to the front of the temple and slowly stretched out his hand to uncover the red cloth.

The next second.

I saw a sculpture with horns on its head and a tail behind it, but its face was the same as that of Mo Jun, which slowly came into Mo Jun's eyes.

This is a living shrine.

"My lord, this is a little bit of our heart, and please don't laugh at Lord Mo."

At this moment, I saw an old man with a snow-white beard walking out of the crowd and said to Mo Jun with a smile.

This old man was none other than the village chief of Longwang Village.

Two lives as a man.

Seeing his ancestral hall for the first time, Mo Jun couldn't help but stay for a while, but quickly came back to his senses and said to the head of Longwang Village: "The old man is polite, this kind of glory, Mo Jun can't afford it!" ”

"Lord Mo is as kind to me as Nanjun Li Min, but it is just a living shrine, and my lord deserves it."

The village chief of Longwang Village arched his hand, bowed slightly, and then continued: "In addition, I have heard that my lord is about to ascend before, so today I have specially come here to congratulate Lord Mo, and wish Lord Mo a smooth journey." ”

As soon as the head of Longwang Village finished speaking, he saw tens of thousands of people up and down the Longwang Dam, whose voices were like thunder, neatly bowed deeply to the direction where Mojun was, and said loudly:

"I wish Lord Mo a smooth journey!"
