"Can't recruit anyone?"
Hearing the news brought back by Xiong Da, Mo Jun was a little surprised and said: "Now that the spring planting period has passed, why can't workers be recruited. Is it because of wages?"
Xiong Da shook his head, and said in a low voice: "It's not the wages, but some people don't allow the farmers here to pick up the jobs without permission. I've already asked, and now all the big workers in Qunshan County must get the consent of the 'Lu Clan' before they can be paid." Get workers."
Mo Jun squinted his eyes and said, "The Lu family?"
Xiong Da replied: "This is the largest landlord family in the county seat. It is said that the Lu family once established a rule in the county. All work in the county must be approved by them before they can start work. .”
Mo Jun chuckled and said: "Hehe~~ It's interesting, I didn't expect that there is already an intermediary now! If that's the case, then let's go to the 'Lu Clan' to have a look!"
······
After half an hour.
"Brother, we are from other places and want to build a mansion outside the county seat. I don't know what is said here?"
"From out of town?"
Among the counties in the mountains, Mo Jun followed the instructions of the locals and found a tooth shop.
There was no one in the dental shop, only a sharp-mouthed man with a mustache sitting behind the counter sorting out the ledgers, and Mo Jun walked into the dental shop with no one to entertain him.
It wasn't until Mo Jun opened his mouth to explain the purpose of his visit that the sharp-mouthed man raised his head and casually looked at Mo Jun, and then said slowly, "How big a mansion do you want to build? Where is it?"
Mo Jun replied: "It's about five miles away from Kunshan County. I want to buy a mountain and build a big house."
Hearing this, the sharp-mouthed man's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be interested at last, and asked, "Which mountain do you want to buy?"
Mo Jundao: "It's the Huihui Mountain."
"Turning back to the mountain?"
Hearing this, the sharp-mouthed man was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he said in a choked tone: "So it's 'Huaihui Mountain'! The area of that mountain is not small. If you want to build a mansion there, the labor cost Just give me [-] gold coins!"
"Thirty thousand?"
Hearing this amount, even Mo Jun couldn't help being startled.
Then subconsciously said: "Is this price too high? Although the area of 'Huaihui Mountain' is not small, building a mansion there is at most five thousand gold coins."
"I also have a small business outside of Hanzhong. Don't deceive me as the shopkeeper!"
The sharp-mouthed man sneered, and said sarcastically: "Five thousand gold coins is only the price from other places. Since you have come to these mountain counties, you have to listen to our "Lu clan" for everything. And I'm not afraid to tell you, thirty thousand gold coins The gold coins are just labor costs, if you want to build a house in 'Huihuishan', you have to buy the title deed of 'Huihuishan' from us!"
Mo Jun was stunned again, and said: "The title deed, as far as I know, no one has bought the 'Huaihui Mountain' so far. It is still a wasteland. How can there be a title deed?"
The sharp-mouthed man sneered: "Yes! It is true that no one has bought 'Hui Hui Shan' now, but if you want to build a house there, you must buy a land deed from us."
Mo Jun said angrily: "Your Excellency is so domineering, so disregarding the law, are you not afraid that I will sue you to the government with a lawsuit?"
"Pfft~~"
As soon as Mo Jun finished speaking, the sharp-mouthed man burst out laughing. He looked at Mo Jun as if he was looking at a clown, and laughed, "The government? If you want to sue, go ahead! But don't blame me for not Just to remind you, if you step out of this gate this time and walk in next time, it will not be at this price."
Mo Jun said angrily: "You, you wait for me. I don't believe that Nuoda, a mountainous county, can't find dozens of workers."
The sharp-mouthed man said proudly: "Please go out of this gate. If you can find a worker from Kunshan County, I will cut off his head for you."
Mo Jun walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
But when he walked out of the dental shop, all the anger on his face just now disappeared in an instant.
"My lord, how is the situation?"
Seeing Mo Jun walk out, Xiong Da immediately went up to meet him.
Mo Jun glanced at Xiong Da, smiled and said, "I saw some very interesting things."
After finishing speaking, Mo Jun suddenly asked: "Xiong Da, what do you think villains are afraid of?"
Xiong Da was stunned for a moment, but couldn't answer.
Mo Jundao: "The thing that the villain fears the least is the 'good guy', because the 'good guy' has too many weaknesses and is too easy to be exploited by others. So conversely, what the 'wicked guy' fears the most is the 'wicked guy' who is worse than him '."
"After all, only magic can defeat magic!"
In fact, Mr. Mo didn't intend to solve the problem of the local nobles in Hanzhong at first. He originally thought about building his own house first, and then finding a free time to settle the matter slowly.
As a result, looking at it now, if he didn't get rid of these guys, he might not even be able to build his own house.
That being the case.
Mo Jun had no choice but to do what he could, and first deal with the troubles of the nobles in these places.
"Let's go! Go to the Sheriff's Mansion."
After getting into the carriage, Mo Jun ordered.
Hearing this, Xiong Da seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously said: "Boss, then I'll go and take care of it first, and I'm going to deal with it later..."
"return!"
Before Xiong Da could finish speaking, Mo Jun called Xiong Da to a halt, and said, "What's the matter? I've said it all, this time we should be 'villains' and 'villains', have you seen that Does the villain need to be so troublesome to do things?"
"What's more, it's not the time to be in Nanjun now, there's no need to be sneaky like that time."
Hearing this, Xiong Da didn't say anything, but Yue Nu and Zhu Yeqing looked at Mr. Mo strangely.
It's a bit strange that a person who has been set up by the people in Nanjun as a living shrine now takes the initiative to say that he wants to be a 'wicked person' and a 'villain'.
The county guard's mansion is also in the mountains and county towns, not far from where Mo Jun and the others are now.
But today was a busy day.
So when Mo Jun and the others felt outside the sheriff's mansion, the sky had gradually dimmed.
under night.
Mo Jun and the others didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly used lightness kung fu and body skills to sneak into the Hanzhong County Sheriff's Mansion.
······
Busy day.
Chen Jing, the prefect of Hanzhong, returned to his room to rest.
However, the moment he just walked into the room, he saw a figure in coarse linen clothes appearing in his room, with his back turned to him, playing with an antique on the bookshelf.
Seeing this figure, Chen Jinghui was startled, and was about to shout immediately.
But before he opened his mouth, suddenly, the door behind him closed automatically, and then several figures appeared in Chen Jinghui's line of sight one after another.
Chen Jinghui's brow was covered with cold sweat immediately, and he gave up the idea of asking for help, and said slowly:
"Heroes, I don't know why you come to me. If you are looking for money, I can give you ten thousand gold. I just ask you not to hurt my wife and children."
"Wanjin? Governor Chen is so generous!"
The moment Chen Jinghui finished speaking, he saw the figure who had been turning his back to him and playing with an antique with one hand finally spoke.
The tone of this person's speech sounded a bit weird, but Chen Jinghui didn't pay much attention to it at first.
Until the figure put down the antique and turned around slowly.
In an instant.
Chen Jinghui's face instantly changed from frightened to frightened, his pupils shrank sharply, and his face lost all color rapidly.
next second.
I saw his knees go limp, he suddenly fell to his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "Holy, holy... Your servant sees Mr. Shengping!"
The current portrait of Mo Jun may not have reached the hands of low-level officials, but as a local sheriff, and also the sheriff of Hanzhong County adjacent to Xianyang, it is naturally impossible for Chen Jinghui not to know Mo Jun's appearance.
······ and his deeds.
Mo Jun came to the desk and sat down, Xiong Da brewed a pot of tea for him, Mo Jun took a sip, and then said slowly: "Chen Junshou, my fief is well managed by you! Do you know? ? Today, I originally planned to build a new house outside Qunma County, but someone actually offered me [-] gold coins, and it was only labor costs."
"It seems that my fief is still very rich!"
Hearing this sentence, Chen Jinghui's face turned pale, and he felt that his whole body was almost torn apart.
Hey!
What kind of idiot did this?
"Master Sheng... Mr. Shengping, this is all a misunderstanding, please listen to your explanation."
Chen Jinghui reluctantly made an excuse.
Mo Jun nodded and said, "Yes! I also want to know where you, a sheriff with an annual salary of only a few hundred shi, got the [-] gold coins."
"Come on, please begin your explanation."
Mo Jun stretched out his hand, motioning for Chen Jinghui to speak casually.
Originally, Chen Jinghui couldn't explain it, but now that Mo Jun said this, he couldn't explain it clearly.
Chen Jinghui, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating profusely, but at this moment, Mo Jun quietly gave Yue Nu a wink.
Yuenu received the order and quietly made a seal with one hand.
next second.
I only heard Mo Jun suddenly say: "Chen Jinghui, raise your head."
Chen Jinghui, who was already in a state of confusion, suddenly heard Mo Jun's order, and raised his head subconsciously. At the same time, Yuenv issued a "mind spell", and Chen Jinghui's eyes quickly lost their luster.
Taking the opportunity, Mo Jun asked decisively: "Speak up! Chen Jinghui, why did you join forces with the local nobles in Hanzhong?"
A few traces of struggle appeared in Chen Jinghui's eyes, but he was suppressed by Yuenv in an instant, and he replied blankly: "I didn't want to at first, but I have no choice. The clan behind these people is deeply rooted in Hanzhong. , if I don’t choose to cooperate, I won’t be able to secure the position of sheriff.”
Hearing Chen Jinghui's heartfelt words after being controlled by the 'confusing technique', Mo Jun was silent for a moment, and then motioned for Yuenu to undo the 'confusing technique'.
After Yuenu unlocked the 'Mind Technique', Chen Jinghui was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to realize what he said, and his face turned pale.
But at the same time that he was panicking, Chen Jinghui also felt an inexplicable sense of relief.It's like a shackle that has been locked on me has finally been untied.
Chen Jinghui closed his eyes, ready to accept the final judgment.
Unexpectedly.
In the next second, I heard Mo Jun say: "I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. You should have recorded all the population rosters in Hanzhong. Three days later, I want to see all the landlords in Hanzhong who own more than a thousand acres of fertile land Nobles, all appear in the Sheriff's Mansion."
"If this matter is done well, I can let you continue to sit in the county sheriff's position."
Chen Jinghui was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't expect that Sheng Pingjun, who was already known as the "Little Man Tu" among the officials of the Qin Dynasty, would let him go so easily.
You know, when he was in Nanjun, he killed 27 noble families in a row just for disaster relief, hacked for three days and three nights, a ruthless person without blinking an eye!
"Why, you don't want to?"
Seeing Chen Jinghui standing there in a daze, Mo Jun raised his eyebrows and said.
Chen Jinghui was shocked immediately, and quickly said: "No, I am willing, very willing."
