Daily Life In Qin Dynasty - Chapter 183

  Chapter 183 Going through the back door

  ”Sir Shengping, I will take my leave first, and please don’t forget the agreement with the Gongshu family.”

  Gong Shuchou stood up and said goodbye to Jun Mo.

  Mr. Mo nodded and said: “Mr. Gongshu, don’t worry, I will not forget.”

  After getting an affirmative answer from Mr. Mo, Gong Shuchou turned around and bowed to Xunzi and Fu Nian, but skipped the Black Man with Six Fingers.

   When Gong Shuchou got up to leave, the other three people in the lobby also stood up one after another to say goodbye.

It was just an accident to run into Gong Shuchou before. In fact, when Mo Jun, the ‘master’ entertains guests, especially when the two sides discuss some more ‘private’ topics, they are also guests of the guests. It’s a polite behavior.

  When everyone walked out of the gate.

   Just happened to collide with Concubine Yan head-on, and the few of them cupped their hands together as a salute, and then moved away.

  ······

   “Concubine Yan of the Yinyang family, I have met Lord Shengping.”

   “Miss Concubine Yan, there is no need to be polite, please sit down.”

  Mr. Mo stretched out his hand to make a false pretense, and soon a servant from the Mo House offered a cup of tea. After Concubine Yan was seated, Mr. Mo continued.

   “Miss Concubine Yan came here on this trip, why not?”

  Mr. Mo made it clear that he was asking questions knowingly, but there is no way, the etiquette between people is often maintained by relying on these seemingly ‘nonsense’ things.

   “This concubine’s trip is to represent the Yinyang family and wants to buy a batch of ‘blank paper’ from His Excellency Shengping Jun. I wonder if Shengping Jun will agree?”

   “Blank paper?”

Mo Jun laughed softly: “If Concubine Yan wants to buy blank paper, she only needs to send a few disciples from the Yin Yang family to participate in the recruitment assessment. As long as she can pass the assessment and sign the application contract, she will naturally get the ‘blank paper’.” ‘ share of purchases.”

   “These rules, I have sent people to post notices outside before, didn’t Miss Yan see it?”

  Concubine Yan shook her head and said: “Mr. Shengping, why bother to ask? My Yinyang family is just a small sect among the hundreds of scholars. When it comes to the number of disciples, it can’t compare with the great sects of Confucianism and Mohism.”

   “To be honest, I came to visit His Excellency Shengping Jun on this trip, just to ask Shengping Jun for convenience. If you have any requests, I will try my best to meet them.”

Concubine Yan’s tone was very sincere, but when Jun Mo heard the words, he showed embarrassment and said: “Miss Concubine Yan’s words really make me a little embarrassed! Nowadays [white paper] production is limited, because there are so many people. There is little porridge.”

   “What’s more, I have no friendship with Concubine Yan in the past. If I break the rules with Concubine Yan, it will be difficult for me to do things in the future!”

   Speaking of this, Mo Jun looked at Concubine Yan meaningfully, and he felt that the hint he gave was already obvious.

  Mr. Mo never thought of taking out [white paper] for large-scale sale from the beginning to the end, because although [printing] is a ‘big killer’, [white paper] is the foundation of everything.

   [Printing] This kind of thing seems magical, but maybe one day someone has a “light flash” and understands the principle of [Printing], and can easily reproduce it.

   But [Blank Paper] is different. The production process of this thing is extremely complicated. Unless someone is really lucky, it is basically impossible to crack the mystery of white paper.

  Currently, there is only one chamber of commerce on the market that has the right to sell white paper, and that is Mo Jun’s [Xiong Chumo Chamber of Commerce].

  And even the 【Kongidemo Chamber of Commerce】, the share of white paper sold every month is extremely low.

  As soon as most of the white paper enters the market, it will be quickly snatched by other merchants, and then resold to others at a high price.

In this situation.

   It is simply impossible for those schools of thought to buy white paper in large quantities on the market.

  Nowadays, if you want to obtain [white paper] in large quantities, the only way is to apply for an academy teacher. Only those who pass the assessment can get a certain share of [white paper] purchase rights and corresponding printing qualifications.

certainly.

   It is also a way to go through the back door from Mo Jun.

  In addition, the Yin Yang family was also qualified to go through the back door from Mr. Mo, but unfortunately this qualification did not belong to Concubine Yan.

  Concubine Yan obviously heard the meaning behind Mo Jun’s words, but she didn’t act according to Jun Mo’s plan, but got up and said: “It seems that this time it is the concubine who disturbed the Lord, Concubine Yan said goodbye.”

   Seeing Concubine Yan get up and leave without hesitation, Mo Jun was a little stunned.

  But not long after, Mo Jun suddenly remembered some conflicts between Concubine Yan and Moon God, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

  Is this woman so capricious?

Right.

  This woman can even do such things as elopement, and now she is just playing a prank, and it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

   This is the end of the thought.

  Jun Mo couldn’t help covering his face and sighing: “Donghuang! Donghuang… tell me, what are you thinking?”

  ······

   (Donghuang Taiyi, who is hundreds of miles away: “What’s the situation? Why does this astrology seem to have a bad feeling.”)

  ······

  The communication between Jun Mo and Concubine Yan can only be regarded as a small episode.

  Although Mo Jun failed to achieve his goal, he believed that the Yin Yang family would compromise in the end. After all, with the current situation among the schools of thought, Mo Jun would never be the one who is anxious.

   After a few days.

  Many schools of thought have entered Hanzhong one after another, and as more and more people from the rivers and lakes entered Hanzhong, Hanzhong became more and more lively, and at the same time, some troubles gradually increased.

   Fortunately, Mr. Mo was prepared for this. He applied for a transfer order from Ying Zheng and directly dispatched an army of 10,000 people to guard the place, which stabilized the situation in Hanzhong.

   During this time, Mo Jun also took the time to look at the construction progress of the academy.

Overall.

  Everything is going well.

  Actually, at the beginning of the academy’s construction, it encountered a lot of troubles, because although Mo Jun has not revealed his real purpose of building the academy so far.

  But this time the construction of the Academy was too noisy, with hundreds of areas under construction at the same time. This behavior naturally attracted speculation from many aristocrats.

  The reason why Mr. Mo didn’t feel any troubles this time is mainly because these troubles had already been solved quietly before they appeared.

  Yes, that’s right, it’s you.

  —【Trap】.

  Why did Ying Zheng choose to accept [Luo Wang] even though he knew that [Luo Wang] was not good?

The reason is that the [Luowang] organization can help him complete a lot of dirty work behind the scenes, just like this time, as the so-called “catching thieves and catching stolen goods”, if there are nobles who trip up the academy that is about to be built in Hanzhong, basically It is difficult to find sufficient evidence.

  Even if evidence is found, according to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, the crime cannot be too serious.

  But now that there is [Trap], Ying Zheng can completely make the situation develop in the direction he wants.

in addition.

  Seeing the movement in Hanzhong, the seduced literati from all over the world began to move around. Yingzheng, who had already had a “bad heart” against these literati, also issued a secret order and sent it to the border, quietly letting the army relax the border censorship system.

  Although Yingzheng’s original intention was to allow more literati to enter the Qin State, in doing so, it also gave some people the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

  ······

  The border between Qin and South Korea.

  A seemingly ordinary convoy crossed the border and entered the territory of Qin State.

   This train team does not seem to be special from the outside, but if someone sees the situation inside the train team, they will find that most of the people sitting in these carriages are women.

   It’s just that some of them were dressed up very gorgeously, but the other part sneaked into Qin State in the form of women disguised as men.

   Right in the middle of the convoy.

Inside a carriage that was slightly larger than the rest, a handsome man with purple hair was surrounded by several beautiful women. At this moment, these women were looking at the man with purple hair and said, “Sister Zi Nu , your appearance is much better than that group of stinky men. How about you just be a man in the future! When you come to us, our sisters will definitely give you a discount…”

  ’Purple-haired man’ helplessly pushed aside the delicate hands that were climbing on his body, and said, “Okay, stop making trouble.”

  All the girls withdrew their jade hands, and then pretended to sigh: “Oh~~ Mr. Han Fei is really lucky, to have a confidante like Sister Zi Nu, even if he is not far away, he will come to protect him.”

  ’Purple-haired man’ said sullenly: “Don’t talk nonsense, we came to Qin this time just to open a [Zi Lanxuan] branch here.”
