When the moon is full, it is lost, and when the water is full, it overflows.

Especially when it comes to being a human being, being too perfect doesn't necessarily mean a good thing.

Life.

Fame and fortune, the most of the three can get two.

Although Mo Jun is not yet a 'supreme minister' in the Qin State, he basically belongs to the small group of people at the top of the Qin State.

The wealth accumulated over the years is also comparable to that of wealthy businessmen.

If Mo Jun doesn't pour some dirty water on his 'reputation' now, maybe one day, he will become the next Lu Buwei.

"What's going on down there?"

Mo Jun and the others were chatting, only to see a sudden crowd of workers gathering not far away, and suddenly became noisy.

"The lower official will send someone to investigate."

Chen Jing responded, and then quickly summoned two officers and soldiers to investigate.

It didn't take long.

The two officers and soldiers returned and reported: "Tell Lord Shengpingjun that a worker fainted just now, but now he has woken up. ”

Mo Jun frowned lightly and said, "Fainted? What's going on? Could it be that I didn't eat enough again like last time? ”

Doing heavy physical work without adequate food supplementation can easily lead to malnutrition.

But the people of Hanzhong County may be because they are too poor, so now when they make money, the first thing they think of is not to eat themselves, but to save the money and take it home.

At the beginning of the construction period, some people were reluctant to spend money to buy food because they made money. I had to work a hungry stomach, but I suddenly fainted halfway through work.

Since then.

Mo Jun directly issued a ban.

In the future, if someone is hungry and causes a delay in the construction period, then the person will be expelled.

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Hui, it seems that this time it is not because I haven't eaten, but because I haven't eaten salt for too long, so I will faint." ”

"Didn't eat salt?"

Mo Jun's eyelids jumped slightly, then he turned to look at Xiong Da and said, "Didn't you prepare salt over there?" ”

Xiong Da shook his head and said: "Rice, oil and salt are all prepared, but it may be because the price of salt has risen a lot recently, so these workers are not willing to buy too much!" ”

Hearing this, Mo Jun immediately covered his face, and then waved his hand helplessly: "Forget it, in the future, when you are resting, you can let people get some salt to melt and add a little salt water to them!" ”

Xiong Da nodded and said, "I understand." ”

······

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.

With Mo Jun investing 150,000 gold coins in Hanzhong County in one go, the entire Hanzhong was like a pool of stagnant water that had been dropped into a bomb, and it became lively all of a sudden.

First of all, there are 'four large and eight small' reservoirs built in various parts of Hanzhong County, with a total of 12 reservoirs.

The construction of the reservoir itself is not very technical, except for the final need for cement reinforcement, most of the work is to dig pits and transport soil.

So in comparison, the workers who build the reservoir are paid a little less, only three big dollars a day.

But even so.

There are still a lot of people in various villages and towns in Hanzhong County who want to grab a job.

Time.

The various districts of Hanzhong County are busy.

Seeing this situation, many landlords and nobles in various towns and towns in Hanzhong County began to tacitly increase the price of grain without any discussion.

Such a situation has almost become the norm at present, and under the policy of 'emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business', the commercial market of the entire Qin State is like a pool of stagnant water, and effective competition cannot be formed at all.

The absence of competition often means that the pricing power of the goods is completely determined by the merchant, and the buyer has no choice at all.

That's why.

Even if the currency of the Qin State has begun to form a system now, the money itself still has no credit, and even if most people make money, they will want to exchange it for grain cloth at the first time.

Fortunately, Mo Jun had been prepared for this situation, not long after Mo Jun came to Hanzhong County, Xiong Da had already 'passed the book of flying birds', informing the [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] scattered all over the country to gather towards Hanzhong.

Although it is inconvenient to transport a large number of goods through the Qinling Mountains, it has been so long now, and the first batch of people and horses of the [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] have also arrived in Hanzhong.

With this batch of manpower, plus the hundreds of thousands of stone grain obtained by copying the 'He family' before, it is enough for Mo Jun to regulate the grain prices in various parts of Hanzhong County.

Of course.

It is inevitable that there will be some 'small accidents' along the way.

And then ······

Mo Jun unexpectedly harvested more than 30,000 stones of grain.

Some farmers near Hanshui now catch river fish in the river almost day and night.

Mo Jun does not implement a daily wage system for fishing, but a performance system.

Every ten catties of river fish (about five catties of later generations) caught from the river can be exchanged for a large amount of money from the government.

Such an exchange ratio is obviously difficult for many people who don't know how to fish.

However, it is a huge incentive for many fishermen who originally lived near Hanshui and relied on water for draft.

After all, for many fishermen living near the water, the most difficult part is not that they can't catch fish, but that they can't sell them.

So when Mo Jun issued this order.

Nowadays, even at night, there are at least 100 fishermen floating on the Han River. And the number of people during the day can exceed 1,000.

Sengoku's fishing skills are indeed not superb.

But it is precisely because of this that the fish resources in the Han River are far more abundant than in later generations.

Some experienced old fishermen can now catch two or three hundred catties of river fish every day, and they can earn twenty or thirty big bucks a day.

Among them is the old farmer "Uncle Tiezi" in Tieshi Village, Heishi County.

The old farmer 'Uncle Tiezi' originally followed others to 'Huitou Mountain' to apply, but at that time, many people in the same village were selected, but he was the only one who was brushed down by the foreman who recruited him because he was too old.

The old farmer was naturally a little sad about this, but just after he returned to Tieshi Village, someone happened to come to Tieshi Village to promote the notice of 'fishing and paying back'.

Tieshi Village is actually not close to Hanshui, but the old farmer lived on the water for a while when he was young, so after hearing this notice, he thought about trying his luck on the water.

As a result, he didn't expect his luck to be quite good, and on the first day, he caught a 'fish king' of 200 catties, and directly made 20 big bucks.

Such a speed of making money.

When the old farmer returned to Tieshi Village that day, many people who were envious had red eyes.

But in comparison.

The most lively place in the whole of Hanzhong County is undoubtedly Qunshan County.

Because with the arrival of the people of the [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce] in Hanzhong, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce and the breeding farm will begin to be built, in order to speed up, Xiong Da directly expanded the number of recruits to more than 2,000 people.

To know.

Hanzhong County is not a large place, and the population is not large, and the total population of the whole county is about 100,000, less than 200,000.

Excluding the elderly, children, women and children, the real prime-age labor force is only 70,000 or 80,000.

This is still because Mo Jun invented the 'Great Qin Sword Creation Medicine', which reduced the number of battle losses of the Qin army veterans by more than half, so now the Qin State no longer needs to recruit too many people for military service.

Otherwise, these 70,000 or 80,000 prime-aged laborers may be reduced by 20,000 or 30,000.

But even if these 70,000 or 80,000 middle-aged laborers are dispersed to various county governments, the prime-age labor force in each county government will be more than 10,000 people.

And now Mo Jun has recruited more than 2,000 people at one time, close to 3,000 people.

It can well be imagined.

What kind of shock will this cause in the present?

In less than a month.

Hanzhong County, which was originally oppressed by the old aristocracy of various landlords, quickly entered the era of large-scale construction with the arrival of Mojun.

······

······

And just when Mo Jun's side was busy in full swing.

The other side.

The five major ······ who have successfully completed a large transaction with Mojun in the county guard mansion Oh no, now it should be the patriarchs of the four old nobles, gathered together again.

And behind these four people, there are about a dozen people, as representatives of the small landlords and nobles in the rest of the places, who come here to discuss important matters with the four old nobles.

As for what's the big deal?

Obviously.

At the moment, in the entire Hanzhong County, there is only one person who is worthy of so many of them gathering together to deal with it.

Boom!

One of the four old nobles, the patriarch of the Sun family, "Sun Zuo", slapped the table angrily and said, "That guy's hands and feet have been stretching longer and longer recently. ”

One of the four old nobles, the patriarch of the Jing clan, 'Jing Cheng', also had a bad look, and said in a low voice: "It seems that we underestimate him too much." ”

One of the four old nobles, the patriarch of the Yan clan, 'Yan Bosun', pinched the teacup and said, "I once asked the descendants of my family to write a complaint against this person, but before the chapter could be sent, he was already beaten down halfway. Five times in a row are the same result. ”

"It's the same on our side."

At this moment, I only heard a representative of the small landlord and aristocratic forces below: "We have all contacted our respective backgrounds in Xianyang, but now all the important institutions of the court have that person's eyeliner. ”

"But if you want to sue him, no one will dare to take it."

"And a few of them even told us explicit that let's give up on that person."

Speaking of this, there were several representatives of the small landlord and aristocratic forces below, and there was obviously a bit of fear on their faces.

Originally, they thought that Mo Jun had not been on the throne for a long time, and the background could not be very deep, at most, they would be rampant on the side of Hanzhong County.

Now in this world, who can become a landlord and wealthy businessman, who can still have no official background.

As a result, reality gave them a ruthless fight.

Once in Hanzhong.

It has always been them who have bullied others with their power, but now in the face of oppression from Mo Jun, they have experienced the feeling of being oppressed for the first time.

This kind of terrifying power, which no one even dared to take the report to the official, made these landlords and nobles in Hanzhong County feel for the first time what it means to 'have no way to go to heaven and no way to go down'.
