Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

"Hahaha~~ You guys are finally here. Come on, come on, take a seat. This dish today is specially packaged and brought from [Baichuan Restaurant]."

As soon as Mr. Mo entered the room, he saw Wang Jian coming up to him with a big smile, and then he took Mr. Mo to the upper position very attentively.

Before Mo Jun could sit down after that.

Then he saw Meng Ao beside him actually taking action himself, holding up his sleeves and pouring him a glass of wine.

"Come on, come on, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. We're not going to get drunk today."

The old face covered with vicissitudes of life was smiling like a chrysanthemum. When Mr. Mo sat down, he immediately put a wine glass into Mr. Mo's hand.

Farther away, two famous Qin generals, Meng Wu and Wang Ben, put vegetables and meat in Mo Jun's bowl with great enthusiasm...

As for the other side of the table, Yang Duanhe, Zhang Tang, Xin Sheng...all the familiar generals of the Qin State were gathered in this small private room of the music and dance studio. They were all smiling and holding hands. Wine glass, looking at Mr. Mo with a kind face.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that these notorious murderers could one day show such affable faces.

Behind Mr. Mo, there are several young generals of the Qin State such as Meng Tian and Li Xin. Now young generals such as Meng Tian and Li Xin have begun to stand out in the army and have taken the position of captain of ten thousand men.

However, at this banquet, they could not even squeeze into a chair and could only stand behind Mo Jun with expressionless faces.

certainly.

Although from Mo Jun's point of view, these people seemed more like they deliberately surrounded Mo Jun, completely blocking his retreat.

"Hahaha~~ I haven't been able to return to Xianyang for only ten years. I never thought that a genius like 'Sheng Pingjun' would appear in Qin now. It's really God who bless our Qin Dynasty. Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"That's right, that's right. Speaking of which, I have been sitting at the border these years and haven't returned to the court for a long time. Today is my first time to meet 'Sheng Pingjun'. Today I will have a good drink."

"That's right. I haven't visited 'Shengping Lord' since I returned to the court this time. After all, I have lost my etiquette. I will punish myself with three cups of wine during today's banquet."

The last words came from the mouth of a middle-aged general whom Mo Jun didn't know. After saying this, the middle-aged general picked up the wine bottle and poured himself three glasses of wine without saying a word, and then Drink it all in one gulp.

Mo Jun looked at the lively scene in front of him with a black line on his face, and couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, feeling quite speechless.

He now felt like a horse being 'flattered'.

Originally, being flattered was a very comfortable thing, and Mo Jun, a vulgar person, was naturally unavoidable. However, now in this room, he only felt a sense of embarrassment.

There are two reasons:

Firstly, because this group of people who are flattering are all rough old men, it is really uninteresting.

Secondly, and the most critical point is that these old guys are obviously not good at this, and basically all the flattery they get is on the horse's hooves.

The more important point is that at the beginning, this group of people were at least flattering. However, before the third round of drinking, the atmosphere in the whole room gradually became a little strange.

"Hahaha~~~Drink! Why don't you drink?"

"Yes, yes, yes, come on, Shengping-kun, eat more food and grow stronger... Uh!"

Meng Ao: "······"

Wang Jian: "·······"

Mr. Mo: "·······"

"Generals, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Mo Jun rubbed his eyes, he really couldn't stand the eye-catching sight in front of him.

Wang Jian and Meng Ao also rubbed their eyes. Although they didn't know why things had developed to this point, it was obvious that they could no longer stand it.

Hearing Mr. Mo's words, the two of them looked at each other, and then coughed softly: "Ahem~~~ Since you said so, Mr. Mo, I and the others will not be polite. In fact, we invited you here today just because I wanted to Let me ask you something."

Having said this, Wang Jian paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked tentatively: "Is the national treasury still sufficient for food and grass now?"

As soon as Wang Jian said this.

The generals who were still making an awkward fuss just now all calmed down in an instant, pricked up their ears, and quietly focused their gazes on Lord Mo.

Mr. Mo paused slightly while holding the wine glass, and then said: "Exploring the treasury is a serious crime. Why does General Wang ask about this?"

Wang Jian's expression froze.

At this time.

I heard Meng Ao put down his wine glass and suddenly said: "Okay, since we are here today, why bother to hide it."

Say it.

Meng Ao turned to look at Mo Jun again, and continued: "And you kid, do you really not know why I am here this time? Although you have been talking about building the academy these days and have not come to Xianyang to discuss matters, but How could you really not hear about such a big event?"

While Meng Ao was talking, Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and several other young generals had already walked out of the door and quietly drove away all the people around them, lest the walls have ears and hear the next conversation in the room.

After listening to what Meng Ao said, Mo Jun also shrugged, and then said: "Okay! Since Senior Meng has already said it, I won't hold back. But before that, I want to ask... ····”

When Mr. Mo said this, he looked around at everyone, and then continued: "I wonder who among the generals will take the lead in this battle, and how many troops will he lead?"

As Meng Ao said, although Mr. Mo was mostly busy with the affairs of the new academy during this period and did not deliberately participate in political affairs, there are some things that he naturally cannot not know.

we can even say.

Even if he really didn't want to find out, Ying Zheng would definitely send someone to deliver the news to him.

Because of the upcoming unification war, even if Lord Mo is not a military commander, he will not be able to avoid him for a lot of time.

Don't mention anything else.

The fact that he is still the 'governor of internal history' means that once the war starts, Lord Mo will definitely be one of the busiest people.

And this is also the reason why these generals are currently inviting Mr. Mo.

In fact, normally, the logistics were handled by Zhi Su Neishi. These generals had no intention of approaching Mr. Mo before the war, especially in this way.

But there is no way, these frontline generals are really scared by the previous "logistics officers" of the Qin State.

I've said it several times before.

The Qin State is located in a barbarian country and has always been barren and impoverished. Especially during the reigns of the previous Qin kings, it can be said that it was common for Qin soldiers to go to war hungry.

In this era, the ability of ordinary people to withstand natural disasters is too weak. As long as there is a slight disaster, ordinary people will almost starve to death in droves.

most of the time.

The Qin State took the initiative to start a war in order to grab some food to tide over the difficulties.

However, Lord Mo did not know that simple hunger was not the most terrifying thing for the Qin army. The truly terrifying thing was the sudden lack of food during the war.

Although a lack of food before the war will make the soldiers unable to fight, it is also easier to stimulate the soldiers' fighting spirit by using the excuse of robbing food.

But if food suddenly runs out in the middle of the war, it will have a huge blow to the morale of the military.

In the latter case, when the previous "Zhi Su Nei Shi" was in office, not to mention often, but basically every "Zhi Su Nei Shi" did more or less similar things.

There are many reasons, but in the final analysis, most of them are due to corruption.

As a result, the "national stockpile of grain" in the eyes of the King of Qin and the actual "national stockpile of grain" became completely different things.

The natural result was that the King of Qin promulgated an edict and suddenly found that the treasury was out of food.

Because of this kind of thing.

The successive kings of Qin have killed countless officials, but they still restrained them repeatedly.

In the end, these frontline generals were helpless. Although they received the edict from the King of Qin before the war, most of them still had to make a special trip to the [Governing Su Neishi Mansion].

Just like the last time Wang Jian and Meng Ao went to the [Zhi Su Neishi Mansion] to play rogue.
