One of the rugged men walked up to the monk who was paralyzed on the ground and slapped him directly.

Others swarmed up, you punched me, and I kicked the ungrateful little six.

Seeing this, Fei Ran wanted to stop him, but Qin Mu stopped him directly.

"Master Fei, this is not within your duties, this kind of person deserves to be killed." Qin Mu said coldly.

"It's... Isn't it good to make a fuss? Fei Ran was a little worried.

Qin Mu stepped forward and scolded, and the villagers hurriedly retreated.

The little monk on the ground was bruised and purple, and he was already unconscious.

Qin Mu squatted down to check his snort, and found that he was still angry, then stood up and looked at everyone, "Don't run away one or two of you, he's dead, you are all murderers!" ”

The villagers turned around and ran home, and after a while the whole field was much cleaner.

After the village was awake, he looked at the little six sons beside Qin Mu motionless, and thought that Qin Mu had killed him, he wanted to run, but his legs were numb and he had no energy, so he could only crawl towards home by kicking the dirt frantically.

"Hmph." Qin Mu only felt funny.

Now that he finally understands the harm of the ancient policy of foolishness, this group of people has no concept of right and wrong, they will only burn incense and worship the Buddha in an attempt to bless their ancestors, and they have no bottom line in other things, and they even do not hesitate to violate the law in protecting their ancestors.

Only if you are more ruthless than them, they will be afraid and have scruples, this is the original gene in the bones of animals.

Fei Ran ran over, "Is he okay?" ”

"It's okay, fainted, it's useless to kill him, he's just a dog."

Seeing everything that had just happened, he began to shake his plan to marry his daughter to him, and with such a resolute and reckless person, he would be implicated sooner or later.

"Qin Mu, you were too reckless just now, I almost convinced Mura Zheng just now!"

"Master Fei, is it the first time you have been an official for so many years?" Qin Mu looked at Feiran's clothes and said.

Fei Ran looked at his clothes spotless except for his shoes, "Is there a problem?" ”

"There's a big problem, in fact, the atmosphere in a village is roughly the same, they all have the same temper, thinking that they are the same kind, so just now the village is taking the lead against digging wells, and everyone is against it, are they really for the ancestral grave?"

"What's that for?"

Qin Mu smiled softly, "That's to get more, and even compensation, once the opening is opened, it will be out of control, why do you think Tianshan Village is so smooth?" ”

Fei Ran remembered what Qin Mu said about taking the land before, "You beat them all over?" ”

"Haha, how can I have that spare time, Lord Fei, or go to the countryside more, so that you can get one step closer to the officialdom, the people take food as the sky, your rights as Tuntianlang can be big or small, although these people are rude, they are the foundation of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Is a country where no one farms a country? ”

Fei Ran nodded, "Is the last suggestion because the people are easily encouraged, once the military queen implements the policy, the people have joined the camp of fighting local tyrants and dividing the land, so your strategy is not impossible." ”

Fei Ran regretted a little why he didn't use Qin Mu's countermeasures in the first place, but after thinking about it, there was a big loophole in it.

If the gentry and landlords united to revolt, how could they be suppressed?

"I still think I did the right thing." Fei Ran added.

"Your strategy is more suitable for the current situation, if you directly use my strategy, and don't tell you anything, then you are really a stupid official."

"Hahaha, Qin Mu, your method of praising people is really special enough, by the way, Qin Mu, why don't you go to the imperial examination to get Gongming, but instead do business in Luoyang?"

This question has always plagued Qin Mu, and he will definitely do something after entering the court with his talents.

"From ancient times to the present, it has been a family in the world, and if you become an official in the court, you are not a servant of the royal family? And I don't like the feeling of being constrained by the many restrictions on officials, and I don't think there's anything wrong with me doing business, isn't it good to use the money I earn from business to benefit the country? ”

"It's good, but if one day the Queen Mother kills chickens and takes eggs, how can you deal with it."

Feiran believes that a merchant is a businessman, always in the last place, even if there is more money, as long as the court wants to rectify you, no one will avenge him for the trumped-up crime, and history will not remember the name of a businessman.

"Don't be so pessimistic, Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother wants loyalty now, although I have no intention of being an official, I have no intention of being loyal to anyone, I only believe that the Queen Mother will never kill me if I do this." Qin Mu said confidently.

He knew Empress Wu's plan too well, and now Empress Wu is only obsessed with the struggle of the imperial court, in fact, in order to prepare for his ascension to the throne.

Those officials who were convicted all had clear charges, either intended to rebel, or were too corrupt, in fact, more than that, they did not accept being controlled and even wanted to overthrow Empress Wu, and they did their best to help Empress Wu, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that she supported Empress Wu in power.

The bureaucracy of ancient feudal society could neither produce small groups, let alone become slaves, nor could it be decided by one person, and on the contrary, the country was not far from extinction.

This is true of the Song Dynasty, the same is true of the Ming Dynasty, and our most servile mite Qing.

Qin Mu sometimes couldn't figure out that these officials knew that they were speeding up the country's demise by doing this, but they didn't repent at all, but broke the jar and broke it just for a while, but they didn't know that no matter how much money they made, they could only eat those two bowls of rice for each meal.

Now Qin Mu understands, this is people's greed and people's inferiority, why can't he be, in modern times, he has no power, no power, and no luck, so he can only choose to lie down and live.

Since coming to Datang, he squatted in prison for several months before he deeply realized what real life is, from the beginning of just trying to live, to later after being released from prison to obtain a huge amount of wealth, he wanted to transform his life to find that trace of familiar things to see the vast sky.

"Lord Fei, what is your ideal?" Qin Mu asked suddenly.

Fei Ran was a little surprised to hear this, he wanted to be an official from the beginning, but after becoming an official, he found that everything was not as beautiful as he imagined, but disgusting.

But if you don't become an official and don't have any other livelihood, how can you support your family?

"My ideal is to become a righteous brother like Zhuge Kongming's wisdom to assist me, a capable minister like Li Si to create a unified world through change, and a Zhou Gong like Zhou Gong, even if he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, he must be courteous and humble, not arrogant." Fei Ran sighed in disappointment as he spoke.

"That is for the sake of fame, to become a capable minister and a virtuous person for a hundred years."

"Yes, Qin Mu, you are right to sum it up, I am just so vulgar."

"Not vulgar, not vulgar at all, I just hope you don't forget your original intention."

Feiran shook his head and smiled, his original intention had long since died in the past, "What about you?" ”

"I'm the most vulgar, I just want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Qin Mu said with a serious face.

"What..."

At this time, a craftsman suddenly ran over, "Chairman, we dug up something strange." ”

"Let's go, let's see."

Qin Mu came to the drilling well and looked at the soil clods that had been dug up.

The clods are pale yellow with a reddish tinge, as if they had been stained with blood. The surface often shows delicate textures and stripes, with a certain luster.

"Chairman, this can't be digging up something unclean, right?"

Fei Ran picked up a piece and looked at it, "I know this, it's an ordinary ore." ”

"Ore?"

"Well, I don't know what this thing is, I've seen it in Lord Chen's house before, and he has a hobby of collecting ores."

Qin Mu picked up the ore and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't recognize what it was, after all, ordinary people rarely come into contact with these.

"Take all this ore back."

Fei Ran walked to the mouth of the well and took a look, "Who is that, come and see, how deep you have dug here, there is not a drop of water, are you measuring it wrong?" ”

"This... Master Fei, this situation cannot be avoided, after all, we can only speculate from the experience of our predecessors, and we can't say for sure what is below. ”

"Okay, okay, go find the next point, don't waste time."

"No!"

Qin Mu took out his mobile phone and secretly took a few photos, now what he needs most is ore, as long as he can find it, he naturally doesn't want to let go of any of them.

The subsequent development of heavy industry is indispensable for any ore.

No matter what ore you bring back to refine, you will naturally know it.

Drilling a well is a long-term thing, and after Qin Mu arranged the other personnel, he took Feiran to Luohe to discuss how to divert water for irrigation.

The two came to the river to look at Luoshui, the water surface was sparkling under the sunset, and from time to time fish jumped out of the water to see the beauty of the sunset.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother prohibits fishing, so there are a lot of fish in the Luo River." Fei Ran explained.

"What's the use of not being able to eat more fish, don't you have a waterwheel here? Why is there nothing by the river? ”

Qin Mu looked at the lush riverbank and did not see the shadow of the waterwheel.

"Although that thing exists, it is estimated that it is either rotten or unusable in disrepair all year round."

"Isn't there money for maintenance every year?"

"Maintenance?" Fei Ran laughed, "The money from the treasury is enough to repair the Ming Hall, and these little things are not worth repairing." ”

"Can we send some more people to repair the water wheel?"

"No, I'm just that."

"How many waterwheels are on record?"

Fei Ran thought for a while and said, "There are about a hundred of them, not that the waterwheel can be repaired to irrigate, and the corresponding ditches must also be dredged, so that at least a few hundred people can do it together." ”

"Then let the county order issue an order for the villagers to dredge the ditch and find some carpenters to repair the waterwheel, won't the problem be solved?"

"Qin Mu, who wouldn't have thought of this? In fact, these officials wish that they would not receive anything, so that they can justifiably blame God, and their political performance will not be affected. Fei Ran reluctantly told the truth.

"I think it's more than that, once Luoyang has no harvest, those merchants who sell rice will carnival for it, and they can finally raise prices reasonably and take the opportunity to make a fortune."

"This is also an inevitable situation, all over the country is negotiating prices with businessmen, and if they don't talk about a penny, it is all political achievements, in fact, it is corruption in disguise, which is much more hidden in comparison, and there is no way to start with verification."
