In the blink of an eye.

It's autumn harvest again.

After tens of thousands of sleepless work, a gray-white cement road that winds and circles like a long dragon finally runs through the entire Qinling Mountains.

On the day of the completion of this road, Mojun came to the scene and named it [Qinping Avenue].

This is composed of one word from each of the titles of the Qin State and himself, which means 'Great Qin Eternal Peace'.

Although it sounds a bit suspicious of 'sloppy horses'.

But to be an official!

Not chilling.

······

The speed of information transmission in the Warring States period is not fast, [Qinping Avenue] has just been completed, and now even Xianyang, which is the closest to Qinling, not many people know that there is an additional road like this on Qinling.

So in a short period of time, naturally not many people will pass through this road.

However, anyone who had recently passed by the Qinling Mountains was shocked by the sudden appearance of this hard and flat avenue that crossed the entire Qinling Mountains.

It's like now······

A black-robed figure on horseback.

A young scholar with a sword in a carriage.

A rugged hero with nine beads on his shoulders.

Three 'guests' who came from a foreign country met here by chance.

The three of them had already made sufficient preparations for each other, and planned to cross the Qinling Mountains and go to Hanzhong to visit the local master.

However, before they could enter Hanzhong, they had just come to the entrance of Qinping Avenue, and the three of them were shocked by the strange, spacious and incomparably flat road in front of them.

"This road ······"

The black-robed figure on horseback looked shocked and was about to say something, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a shout coming from the side.

"Hey~ The three over there, do you want to cross the road? If you plan to pass from [Qinping Avenue], come and pay the money. If you don't want to cross the road, get out of the way and don't get out of the way. ”

This shout immediately brought the three of them back to their senses, and it was only at this time that the three of them suddenly realized that they each noticed that the other two people beside them were unusual.

The three of them narrowed their eyes and didn't say much.

Instead, they drove their mounts and walked towards the 'toll collector' at the intersection they had just shouted.

The dress of the three of them is actually a little peculiar at the moment, but the 'toll collector' at the entrance of Qinping Avenue has seen many people in strange costumes during this time, so he didn't care too much, just took care of himself:

"Entering Hanzhong from Qinping Avenue, one yuan for a single pass, five dollars for horses, and ten dollars for carriages. If you are carrying goods, less than 50 catties are free, and if you exceed the amount, you will be charged according to the weight. ”

"You have to collect money for crossing the road, how is this different from robbers and bandits?"

Hearing the 'toll collector' speak, the other two didn't react much, but the rugged hero couldn't help frowning and said loudly.

The 'toll collector' sneered: "Will the robbers and bandits carve out such a road for you in the deep mountains and old forests?" Do you know how much it cost to build this road? Now just charge you a little money and let you go down this road, which is already cheap for you. ”

"I've loved it, but fuck off."

This 'toll collector' is obviously also a violent temper, and he doesn't mean to get used to the other party at all.

The rugged hero was slightly angry in his heart, but he didn't care about an ordinary person, he just suppressed his anger and said: "Building roads is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, since it can make the life of the people of Li more convenient, why do you want to do this extra thing?" ”

The 'toll collector' sneered: "Why, do you think that it doesn't cost money to maintain such a road?" Well, I'm too lazy to debate with guys like you, and I think about taking advantage every day, how can there be so many good things in this world. ”

"I still say the same thing, if you want to take Qinping Avenue, you have to pay the money, otherwise you can also choose to cross through the deep mountains and old forests of the Qinling Mountains, but what jackals, tigers and leopards will encounter on the way, it depends on your luck."

During this period of time, people like this who want to take advantage of free passages, the 'toll collectors' have long since encountered no more than how many they have encountered, so there is no politeness in the slightest.

Hearing this, the rugged hero seemed to want to argue a few words, but at this time, the 'toll collector' had already begun to wave his hand to drive people away.

As a last resort.

The rugged hero could only pay the money and walked into [Qinping Avenue].

The second person to pay the money was the black-robed figure, his temper was much gentler than the previous rough hero, although he was also asking questions, but he was just talking as if chatting in the process of paying the money.

"This little brother, I don't know when this [Qinping Avenue] was built? The last time I was here, I didn't think I had seen such a road. ”

"When was the last time you came?"

"I can't remember exactly, it's been about three years!" The black-robed figure shook his head and said.

"Three years? Then you have naturally never seen this road, this [Qinping Avenue] only started construction almost half a year ago, and it was just completed not long ago. ”

"Half a year?"

Hearing this, not only the black-robed figure, but even the rugged hero who was still 'sulking' on the side, and the scholar with a sword with an indifferent and serious face, all looked at it in disbelief.

Immediately, I heard the black-robed figure exclaim, "How is this possible? ”

"Why can't it be? Do you know who led the construction of this road? This is the road that Sheng Pingjun personally supervised the construction, when the construction started, there were at least tens of thousands of workers alone, and there were also gods such as 'cement' to help, it was not easy to open up such a big road in the Qinling Mountains. ”

The 'toll collector' rolled his eyes, and then spoke to the black-robed figure in front of him with a look that seemed to have seen a 'country bun'.

"Shengping-kun? Cement? ”

As soon as the 'toll collector' finished speaking, he saw the last scholar with a sword among the three, and instantly grasped the key point and asked, "What does Your Excellency mean is that this [Qinping Avenue] is also the handwriting of Shengping Jun?" ”

"Of course!"

At the mention of the word 'Shengping Jun', the three of them obviously noticed that the tone of this 'toll collector' had changed, and the original irritability instantly turned into respect and pride.

Even the tone of his voice was a little respectful, and he continued: "Except for Shengping Jun, who else in the entire Qin State can have such a handicraft now, is it difficult to rely on the group of 'official masters' in the court?" ”

"Heh~~ If one of those officials has the ability, we in Hanzhong will not have lived a hard life for so many years."

When the words 'official master' were mentioned, the toll collector's tone turned into a faint sarcasm in an instant, which was diametrically opposed to the expression and tone of his expression when he mentioned 'Shengpingjun' just now.

See this scene.

The black-robed figure, the rugged hero, and the scholar with the sword were all moved in their hearts.

Then I heard the black-robed figure speak again: "Listening to the meaning of the little brother's words, isn't it possible that the life in Hanzhong was very poor before?" ”

The 'toll collector' snorted angrily and said, "Hey~ Don't mention it." Before Shengping Jun came, where did those officials, landlords, and nobles in Hanzhong at that time treat us as human beings? ”

"In previous years, if we didn't starve to death in our village a year, it would be because the landlord at that time was kind."

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but frown.

Today.

The Mo family and the peasant family are indeed a small number of famous families who are willing to think about the common people, but because of the restrictions of the times, they are destined to be in high positions and it is difficult for them to see the lives of many real low-level people.

If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, they wouldn't have imagined that three or five people would starve to death in a village every year.

At this point.

This is true even for Mo Jun from later generations, because some realities are really far more absurd than movies.

But in the next second, I only heard the toll collector's words turn around, and said: "But now it's okay, since Sheng Pingjun came, he directly killed more than half of the landlords and nobles in the entire Hanzhong County, and then took the initiative to find a lot of money-making jobs for us poor people." ”

"Speaking of which, I've been busy for almost a whole year!"

The last sentence 'busy for a whole year', although it sounds tiring literally, but in fact, all three of them can see that the toll collector's tone is full of show off and pride.

The three of them can understand this.

After all, in this year, it is not terrible for ordinary civilians to be busy, because if they can be busy, it means that there will be at least receipts this year.

The real scary thing is to be idle, if ordinary people are too idle in a year, there is a high probability that they will not be able to survive this year.

"And what is this cement?"

After chatting with the toll collector for a while, the three of them finally turned their attention to another important point.

However, regarding this matter, the toll collector shook his head and said: "'Cement' is a secret of the Qin military, and now only Shengping Jun and King Qin know about the entire Great Qin. ”

"But this thing is very magical, ordinary road and bridge construction, if the bluestone bricks are used as the cornerstone, and the paste stone slurry is used to glue the paste joints, at least ten days and half a month to solidify and bond."

"But this kind of 'cement' only takes three days, and it can quickly bond a pile of gravel into a road as hard as bluestone."

After listening to the toll collector's story, the pupils of the three people in front of him instantly shrank.

Because of the effect of this 'cement', the three of them thought of another thing.

That is the demon method used by the Qin army in the 'Battle of Wusui'.

Although many people in various countries have speculated that this matter is related to Mo Jun before, most of them have no substantial evidence, but now, the three of them have finally confirmed this speculation.

"Hey~~ The three in front, have you finished paying the money? Hurry up, we're all in a hurry! ”

Just as the three of them were shocked by the 'cement', suddenly, a shout came from behind again.

When the three of them heard this, they immediately came back to their senses.

Then the three of them apologized to the people behind them, and then they each collected the payment card handed over by the 'toll collector' and walked towards Qinlingzhong.

After a simple touch.

The black-robed figure, the rugged hero, and the scholar with the sword can also be regarded as preliminary acquaintances.

happened to be on the next journey, and the three of them were also walking all the way, so they simply reported to their homes.

The black-robed figure took the lead and said, "In the Xia Mo family-six fingers." ”

The scholar with the sword and the rugged hero were shocked when they heard this, although the two had guessed a little about each other's identity and origin before, but they didn't expect the origin of the black-robed figure to be so big.

Then I saw the rugged hero hugging his fists and said: "It turned out to be the contemporary giant of the Mo family, in the lower farmer's house - Tian Guang." ”

Hearing the rugged hero speak, the scholar with the sword and the six-fingered black man were equally shocked.

Today, a hundred schools of thought are contending.

Among the hundreds of sons, Confucianism, Moism, Taoism, and Bingjia are the four most famous schools at present.

However, in recent years, the fame of the two major schools has gradually caught up, and there is a faint momentum to stand side by side with the four major schools.

And these two major schools are the Legalists and the Peasants.

The origins of the farmhouse are very early.

The earliest period can even be traced back to the ancient Shennong period.

Because of the long heritage, the farmer has always been a master.

However, the development of the farmers themselves is not very good, because their philosophy is that 'the earth is full of things, and Shennong is immortal.' Princely generals, rather have a kind of 'does not meet the expectations of the upper nobles.

Therefore, the development of farmhouses has been restricted in various places, intentionally or unintentionally.

I don't know why.

In recent years, as if they had received the support of someone, the peasant family has developed a powerful force in the Seven Kingdoms at a very rapid pace.

Nowadays, although the reputation of the peasant family is not significant enough, in terms of the scale of the sect and the number of disciples, there is a faint tendency to become the largest sect in the rivers and lakes.

The person with the highest status in the peasant family is called the 'chivalrous leader'.

According to the understanding of the other two, the name of the contemporary peasant hero is 'Tian Guang'.

"It turns out that the two are actually the predecessors of the contemporary giants of the Mo family, the six-fingered black heroes, and the predecessors of the contemporary heroes of the peasant family, Tian Guang, and the younger generations of Confucianism."

"Fu Nian?"

Fu Nian's name made Tian Guang feel a little unfamiliar.

However, after the six-fingered black man heard this name, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but say: "A few years ago, when I traveled to Songhai, I heard that the name of the contemporary senior brother of Xiaoshengxianzhuang was called 'Fu Nian', could it be that Mr. ”

"It's despicable."

Fu Nian respectfully clasped his hands and saluted.

Big brother?

Tian Guang's eyelids jumped.

Although he had never heard of the name of 'Fu Nian', he also knew the meaning of the three words 'Senior Brother' in Xiao Shengxian Village.

To put it bluntly, the 'senior brothers' of the previous Xiaoshengxian Zhuang are basically the heads of the next Confucianism.

Boy.

When the three of them reported to their homes, even the three of them couldn't help but be startled.

After all, if it weren't for personal experience, I'm afraid no one would have thought that now in this Qinling Mountains, there are actually two heads and a quasi-head gathered at the same time.

Moreover, the three of them are all extremely powerful sects in the world.

But then the relationship between the three of them obviously became a lot closer.

After all, the identities and status of the three are not ordinary, and in today's world, there are very few people who are qualified to be friends of these three people.

And now that I am fortunate to meet the two at the same time, it is natural to have a very happy conversation.

The three of them rode horses in a carriage.

Let's talk along the way.

In just half a day, he had successfully crossed the Qinling Mountains and entered the territory of Hanzhong······
