"Otherwise, let's forget about it!"

Someone couldn't help but retreat.

He was one of those people who were dissuaded by the 'backers' from making trouble with Mo Jun again.

Compared with others, the 'backer' behind him can no longer be said to be dissuaded, to be precise, it should be explicitly forbidden for him to go to Mojun's trouble.

From the previous secret letter exchange between the two.

He could even see a hint of awe in the words of the 'backer'.

How did he know that his 'backer' was not only in awe of Mo Jun, but also prepared to say that he should be 'afraid'.

Because his 'backer' was one of the officials in the Zhisu Neishi Mansion who was invited by Mo Jun to govern Su Neishi because of the 'tax evasion' case.

Since that time, the three people who privately invited Yingshanhe to go to Yingzheng to complain were imprisoned by Mojun that night, and the next day they were beheaded in public, and their homes were exterminated.

All the remaining officials involved in the 'tax evasion' case have now had a huge shadow on Mo Jun.

After all, a powerful and extremely cautious person.

Who can not be afraid?

Hearing this person say this, many people below suddenly showed a look of intention on their faces.

The net worth of these landlords and nobles is extraordinary, even if Mo Jun has bought all their real estate now, the wealth they have accumulated in the past, as well as some remaining channels of making money, are enough to support them for three generations to eat and drink.

Now that they have felt how terrifying Mojun's power is, in this case, it is only natural that they want to surrender and lose half.

"Perhaps, we have another chance."

Just when many people were already planning to go along with the 'surrender', suddenly, Lu Boli, who had not spoken from beginning to end, finally said his first words after coming here.

As soon as this statement came out.

The eyes of the rest of the crowd gathered towards him and said, "What chance?" ”

Lu Boli's eyes flickered with cold light, and he said slowly: "Not long ago, someone contacted me, and this person's power in the Qin State is almost on par with the current one in Hanzhong. If we can get his help, we will be able to get justice. ”

After listening to Lu Boli's words, the others' eyes moved slightly, but they didn't immediately agree.

Because they knew that Lu Boli's words were not finished yet.

The crowd pondered for a moment.

Then I heard the patriarch of the Jing clan, "Jing Cheng", speak: "What conditions? ”

Lu Boli glanced at him and said, "Money!" He needs a long-term and stable 'money bag'. ”

Lu Boli's answer did not surprise everyone.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Many of them were businessmen. So they naturally know very well that the best way to maintain the stability of the relationship between the two parties is never to rely on any so-called 'feelings'.

It's 'interests'.

Only a long-term and stable 'exchange of interests' can be exchanged for a long-term and stable 'relationship'.

A moment later.

I saw that after thinking for a while, Jing Cheng slowly stretched out a hand and said: "Fifty percent, as long as I can take back all the land, I can take out fifty percent of the benefits every year in the future, this is my greatest sincerity." ”

Jingcheng obviously also knows that the 'backer' they found this time is not at the same level as before.

And if you want to satisfy such a character, you can't naturally make a fuss like before.

So as soon as he opened his mouth this time, he directly gave an astonishing amount.

This amount made many landlords and nobles present couldn't help but be shocked.

Only Lu Boli's expression was quite calm, and after hearing Jing Cheng speak, he just nodded slightly, signaling that this amount was okay, and then said the same: "Then let's limit it to five!" What about your decision? ”

Lu Boli looked at the patriarchs of the other two old nobles on the side, Sun Zuo and Yan Bosun.

Among them, Sun Zuoyi gritted his teeth and said: "Five achievements are fifty percent." ”

Sun Zuo was obviously ruthless, after all, after this incident, he could understand the importance of power.

However, at his age, it is impossible to give up business and politics, and make great achievements in the official career.

Case.

Then it is also a good choice to spend money on a powerful enough 'backer'.

As for the last of the four old nobles, 'Yan Bosun', after a short period of consideration, I saw him slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and then hugged the other three.

"The old man is old, and the old man will not participate in the next thing, so the three of you will do it."

Say it!

Yan Bosun carried one hand behind his back, turned around and left the room directly.

Seeing Yan Bosun get up, more than a dozen representatives of the small landlord and aristocratic forces below soon stood up one after another, and after saluting everyone, they also left one after another.

When the rest of the people saw this, they neither stopped nor felt angry, they just watched calmly.

That's what business is.

If you can talk about it, you will cooperate, and if you can't talk about it, you will cooperate next time.

What's more, for Yan Bosun to give up this cooperation, it was originally expected by Lu Boli.

After all, the Yan family of Yan Bosun was originally the family with the least land among the 'five old nobles'.

The wealth of the Yan family mainly depends on commerce, and as for the land, since the Yan family took root in Hanzhong, they have only symbolically bought tens of thousands of acres, and did not spend too much thought on the grain fields.

Therefore, this time, Mo Jun acquired the grain fields of the major noble landlords, and the loss of the Yan family was the smallest.

In this case.

There is no need for Yan Bosun to fight to the death with Mo Jun.

But Lu Boli is different, this time he not only lost nearly 300,000 mu of grain land in the hands of Mo Jun, but was also forced to kill his own subordinates with his own hands, and also paid 10,000 gifts.

It can be said that in the hands of Mo Jun, Lu Boli not only lost his heart, but also lost face.

In this case.

Unless Lu Boli is willing to bear this huge loss and move out of Hanzhong from now on, he will have to fight to the death with Mo Jun.

Once all the others who were unwilling to participate in the operation had left, the rest of the group continued to discuss.

······

Mid-May.

In a temporary rented courtyard.

Fourteen children sat upright in their rooms, reciting the Analects.

And outside the room.

The other sixteen children, the oldest fourteen and the youngest ten, were striding in the scorching sun, and Jian Jiuyuan stood at the front of the crowd, staring at everyone in front of him like a sharp sword.

The sun in May this year was already quite scorching, but even though the sixteen children were sweating profusely and some of their skin had even been burned by the sun, none of them cried out that they were tired.

Sixteen children were like tree stumps, silent, silent, standing firmly in the scorching sun.

Jian Jiuyuan looked at the sixteen children in front of him, although his expression was still indifferent and ruthless, but if he looked closely, he would find that his eyes were full of relief.

Perhaps it was because they had seen hell before, but the willpower of these children was far beyond ordinary people.

Martial arts should have been the first priority of talent.

But because Mo Jun has too many 'elixirs' and 'treasures' here, unless he is the kind of supreme genius, as long as he has a little talent for martial arts, Mo Jun can pile people to the second-rate limit just by using the 'elixir'.

As for the first-class realm, it takes a little luck and perseverance.

That's why.

Here in Mojun, if you want to take the martial arts path, the most important thing is not talent, but loyalty and will.

"Okay, come and drink the medicine!"

I don't know how long it took, Jian Jiuyuan opened a 'sundial pocket watch' given to him by the public enemy, looked at the time, and said coldly.

Heard Jian Jiuyuan speak.

The sixteen children stood up suddenly, although they already felt sore, they still managed to come to Jian Jiuyuan, lined up, and each received a bowl of reddening elixir like blood.

"It's a good thing, if you change these potions somewhere else, you can't buy them even if you have money. Give me a little more to drink, as much as I can. ”

Looking at the large vat of scarlet potion in front of him, even Jian Jiuyuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of envy.

To know.

Even when he was the young master of the Imperial Sword Sect, he had never practiced so luxuriously.

These blood-like elixirs seem to be ordinary, but in fact, they are all made by the medicine ghost with the great tonic elixir "Blood Lingzhi" and the blood of the 'Poisonous Spirit Blood Snake'.

If this pot of potion is placed in the outside world, it is a good thing that cannot be bought with money.

"One more bowl!"

"Me too!"

Although the effect of the "Spiritual Blood Elixir" is strong, the taste is the only drawback.

Although none of the 16 children who drank the medicine complained, most did not drink the medicine quickly.

However, while the others were still holding their breath and pouring medicine into their mouths, two people had already started to ask for a second bowl.

The first two children to finish were a boy and a woman.

The boy was tall, but his gaze was quite calm, he was the eldest of the sixteen children in the middle grade, and he was also the first child in the Nanjun orphanage to say that he wanted to leave with Mo Jun.

The girl is slender, has somewhat cloudy eyes, and has only one arm.

The thirty children brought from the Nanjun Orphanage, after preliminary training, Mo Jun divided them into two small classes, civil and military.

Most of these children with physical disabilities were assigned to the 'Wendao class'.

But the twelve-year-old girl in front of her is the only exception.

When she was first classified, although the strength of this little girl was not strong, her willpower was the most determined of all the girls, and at the same time, she was also the most ruthless one.

At the beginning of the class assessment, even though she had been beaten and covered in blood, she still did not choose to enter the 'Wendao class'.

In the end, Mojun made an exception.

Let her join the 'martial arts class'.

For these two people to be the first to drink the 'spiritual blood potion' every time, Jian Jiuyuan was obviously not surprised, and he didn't say anything, and directly added another bowl to each of them.

The two took the big bowl and bowed respectfully towards Jian Jiuyuan.

Then he returned to the crowd and looked in the other direction of the courtyard in a daze.

There, there is a huge jujube tree.

And under the jujube tree.

Dressed in a simple white robe, Mo Jun sat casually on the grass, holding a brush and a wooden board in his hand, writing and drawing from time to time.

Mo Jun is working on the development plan of the next South County.

Now that the basic framework of the [Xinmo Mansion] has been built, it is time for the craftsmen of the Gongyi family to come on the field and add a little bit of detail to the [Xinmo Mansion].

And the headquarters of the [Xiongchumo Chamber of Commerce], which is located next to the [Xinmo Mansion], and the [Breeding Farm], have also begun to lay the foundation.

If you wait until [Xinmo Mansion], [Farm], [Chamber of Commerce Headquarters], [Reservoir······ After all these things are built, there is no new 'living water' injected into Hanzhong County, and I am afraid that the little splash that has been finally lifted here will soon dissipate invisibly.

But it is not easy to attract new 'living water'.

Mo Jun thought for a long time.

It turned out that no matter which method was used, there was no escaping one aspect in the end.

That is – transportation.
