After listening to what Mo Jun said, Ying Zheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said curiously: "Additional conditions? ”

Mo Jun nodded, and then spoke: "The minister wants to build a road, open the road with fire and sulfur stone, cement casting, cross the Qinling Mountains, run through Hanzhong, and connect Bashu." ”

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face also showed a little more positive color, and he said with a little surprise.

"Mo Qing has such an ideal in his heart?"

"Hanzhong is poor, and the minister is helpless."

Mo Jun clasped his hands and saluted.

Ying Zheng looked at Mo Jun in front of him with satisfaction, and the look of relief in his eyes became more and more intense.

Nowadays, there are not a few monarchs and marquis in the Qin State who have fiefs, but there are only a handful of lords who can take the initiative to seek benefits for the people in the fiefdom like Mojun.

Speaking of which.

If the entire Great Qin had a fiefdom monarch and a marquis, he would not have to be so tired.

That's it.

Ying Zheng also sighed a little: "Mo Qing's move is not only for the sake of my people in Daqin and Limin, but the widow should help you." ”

"Someone is coming, Xuanshang General Wang Jian and Meng Fu are here."

······

About an hour later.

Wang Jian and Meng Wei entered Xianyang Palace, and these two were the other two "salt selling business" partners that Yingzheng had found.

After all, in today's Qin State, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to do business with Ying Zheng and Mo Jun.

Among them, the Mengshi family and the Wang family are undoubtedly two of the two most trusted families of Yingzheng.

A moment later.

After listening to Ying Zheng's explanation, Meng Fu and Wang Jian looked at the 'fine salt' on the desk, and their two pairs of vicissitudes of life lit up all of a sudden.

The profits of the salt business have always been visible.

And the refined salt refined by Mojun's 'refining method' is of such a high quality, even if Wang Jian and Meng Fu are in the family and are not responsible for the business, they can clearly see the benefits of this business.

Not to mention.

This time, the 'sale of illicit salt' was still manipulated by King Qin behind the scenes, and the safety was beyond doubt.

As for the 'additional conditions' proposed by Mo Jun, building a road that runs through the entire Qinling Mountains and Bashu is a huge cost. But this money is only a one-time investment, and the subsequent 'salt business' can be revived.

What's more, building a road itself is also a good thing for the country and the people, once the road between Qinling and Bashu is opened, the most profitable person in a short period of time is naturally Mojun.

But if you look at it in the long run, Yingzheng ······ In other words, the Qin State is the biggest beneficiary.

Therefore, investing a sum of money to build roads this time can not only earn money from the 'salt business', but also gain the favor of Yingzheng.

No matter how it goes.

It's a sure business.

Wang Jian and Meng Wei naturally have no reason to refuse.

After all, no matter how strong the Wang family and the Mengshi clan are, people always want to have just the right meal!

After a brief discussion of the details, the four of them decided on this business cooperation.

As for the contract, naturally it will not be signed.

After all, no matter how bold Mojun, Meng Fu, and Wang Jian were, they didn't dare to sign a contract with Yingzheng!

After the matter is resolved.

Mo Jun, Meng Fu, and Wang Jian retired one after another and left Xianyang Palace.

Out of Xianyang Palace.

Meng Fu and Wang Jian did not separate from Mo Jun, but walked all the way towards the Zhisu Inner History Mansion.

If it was in the past.

As three people, even if it is to avoid suspicion, they can't go all the way with such an upright person.

However, this time, Meng Fu and Wang Jian both happened to go to the Su Nei Shi Mansion to do business, and Mo Jun was to govern the Su Nei Shi, so there was no need to be too deliberate.

"What you did this time was very measured."

Inside the carriage, Meng Wei looked at Mo Jun with a little appreciation in his eyes.

"You are too young and your meritorious service is too fast, if you make another great contribution at this time, even the king will probably feel embarrassed. Although our King of Qin has the ambition to swallow the world, no one can guarantee that he will not change in his life. ”

"Hahaha~~ Old man Meng, I think you are a little worried, although this kid is not very old, but I look at his heart, not much less than us old guys."

As soon as Meng Fei's words fell, before Mo Jun could speak, he saw that Wang Jian had already patted Mo Jun on the shoulder and said with a big grin.

It's also interesting to say.

Meng Fu usually has a calm personality, but he prefers aggressive tactics on the battlefield.

On the other hand, Wang Jian usually looks a little arrogant, but on the battlefield, he is as stable as an old dog.

Meng Wei looked at Wang Jian on the side, and also shook his head, quite helpless.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to point out Mo Jun's 'way of being an official', but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was disturbed by this old guy.

But what Wang Jian said is not wrong.

Although Mo Jun's age is not very old, he does have a lot of eyes, otherwise he would not have handled things so perfectly this time.

In fact, a large part of his guidance just now was completely out of the concern of the elders.

Mo Jun naturally saw the concern of Meng Fu and Wang Qian, so he also hugged his hands very respectfully and said, "Boy, thank you for your concern." ”

Wang Jian patted Mo Jun on the shoulder and grinned, "Hey, what are you doing so politely with us?" Old man Meng and I are both old, and now among the descendants of the Qin State, there are many people who are a little promising. But in your generation, you are the only one who can really carry the banner of Qin. ”

"No matter what aspect it is, we two old guys should also support you young offspring!"

What Meng Fu and Wang Jian said was nothing else, it was Mo Jun's dedication to the 'method of refining refined salt' this time.

This time, Mo Jun made a great contribution again, but instead of asking for a reward, he offered to cooperate with Yingzheng in business.

The reason why he did this is naturally not just for the money.

In a nutshell.

It's not that this time Mo Jun doesn't want a reward, but he can't ask for this reward.

As Meng Fu said before, Mo Jun's meritorious service during this period of time was too fast, and the limelight was too great.

Today's Mojun is already the 'Shengping Jun' of the Qin State, and the official worship of one of the Nine Qings' of the 'Zhisu Internal History'.

If he continues to make great achievements at this time, then what reward should he accept next?

Three Princes?

Or is it a king with a different surname?

Or is it a direct rebellion?

Even if Yingzheng belongs to a relatively broad-minded king in all dynasties, Mo Jun can't rely on this to gamble with his own life!

Therefore, this time the reward after meritorious service, Mo Jun could not accept it no matter what.

And since he can't ask for power, then Mojun can only ask for money.

A large part of the reason why Ying Zheng agreed to cooperate with Mo Jun was that he saw the attitude that Mo Jun wanted to express.

Therefore, he pushed the boat down the river and responded to this business cooperation with Mojun.

But 'selling salt' is a government-run business after all.

In a sense, this is also one of the exclusive rights of Yingzheng.

And now that Mo Jun has taken away part of the rights belonging to Yingzheng through cooperation, there will naturally be no problem in a short time.

But once the time is long, as the profits of 'selling salt' in the later period become higher and higher, even if Yingzheng will not worry about anything, no one can guarantee that the next King of Qin will have an opinion on Mo Jun because of this.

Therefore, Mo Jun later took the initiative to give away part of the right to 'sell salt' to Meng Fu and Wang Qian.

With the help of the Mengshi clan and the Wang clan, the rights of the four parties are balanced with each other, so that the king will not be suspicious.

And so it goes.

The great achievement that Mo Jun made this time was eliminated invisibly.

And I can also take this opportunity to do the 'road building' that I wanted to do the most at the beginning, and it is a matter of course.

It's a triple win.

This is also the reason why Meng Fu praised Mo Jun for his 'very measured' work before.

Speaking of which.

Mo Jun's strategy for dealing with this matter is not too complicated.

The key is that he can decisively give up the state of mind of this 'reward'.

Willing, willing.

There is a give-and-take.

Many times in office, they can actually see the impending crisis, but under the guidance of power, status, and interests, how many people can really give up the monstrous power that is about to arrive?

······

After arriving at the Zhisu Nai Shi Mansion.

The official on duty at the gate saw Mo Jun getting off the carriage and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "My lord, you ······?"

The words are not finished.

Seeing Meng Fu and Wang Jian then walked down from the carriage, and when they saw these two people, the official on duty was immediately like a frightened rabbit, almost jumping three feet high.

If it weren't for Mo Jun still standing here, this person would probably be about to run away.

Mo Jun glanced at him.

Then he turned to look behind him, two old men who were as strong as a cow, and couldn't help but ask, "You two, you won't take advantage of my absence to bully the officials of my Su Nei Shi Mansion, right?" ”

"Nonsense!"

As soon as Mo Jun's words fell, he saw Wang Jian blowing his beard and glaring: "The old man has always been a reasonable person, how could he do such an arrogant thing?" ”

“·······”

"He hit you?"

Mo Jun was silent for a few breaths, then looked at the official in front of him, and asked in an affirmative tone.

The official was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "General Wang didn't beat the official, but during this time, the two generals often came to harass the officials in the palace, and each time they sat for two or three hours. ”

"If the lower officials and the others don't agree to the request of the two generals, the two of them will roll around in the mansion, crying for their father and calling their mother, and disturbing the Zhisu Inner History Mansion will not be able to live in peace."

Maybe it was because he saw Mo Jun return and had a backer, and the officials on duty complained quite aggrieved.

After listening to the official on duty, Mo Jun's face was suddenly full of black lines.

couldn't help but look back at Wang Jian and Meng Fu behind him, and found that even though these two people heard the accusations of the officials on duty, their faces were still calm, one looked up at the sky, and the other looked down at the ground, as if what they just said was not them.

Mo Jun's eyelids jumped, and he couldn't help but say: "Two seniors, you two are also the leading figures in the Qin State, can you pay attention to your image?" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Jian buttoned his nose, dug out a large piece of boogers, flicked it casually, and said disdainfully: "Image? How many pounds of food is that thing worth? ”

Meng Fu was a little calmer, and explained a little, saying: "It's not that we don't have shame, but compared to the lives of soldiers on the battlefield, this so-called shame, don't do it." ”

In fact, when it comes to this matter, you really can't blame Meng Fu and Wang Jian for being thick-skinned, because to be precise, this kind of rogue skill is almost a necessary skill for all the generals of the Qin State at the moment.

No way.

Who made the Qin State too poor before.

In the past few years, after Mo Jun came, he made a lot of extra money for the Qin State, so now the situation is a little better.

But for the former Qin State, every time the Qin army started a war with the outside world, many times, the warriors were not killed on the battlefield, but halfway through the battle, and suddenly found that there was no food in the logistics.

In the end, the soldiers of the Qin army could only go hungry and forcibly start a war with the opposite side, and in the end, whether the Qin army won or lost, the losses would be extremely heavy.

Arguably.

In the past, many times, the Qin army was not defeated at the hands of opponents, but at the hands of its own people, and it was starved to death.

Therefore, when all the generals of the Qin army encountered a war, they would inevitably come to the Sunei Shifu to make a fuss before the war, if not for anything else, just to get a little more food in case of future troubles.
