Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 132

Chapter 132

"Less than three hours."

At the exit of Qinping Avenue, after handing over the previous 'pay card' to the toll collector at the exit, the Black Man with Six Fingers glanced at the sky, and suddenly sighed and said this sentence.

Fu Nian Yu Tian Guang was slightly silent, and they naturally understood the meaning behind the words of the six-fingered black man.

Everyone knows that the Qinling Mountains are difficult and dangerous.

At the previous speed, it would take at least two or three days for ordinary people to cross the Qinling Mountains in a horse-drawn carriage.

However, it is estimated that not only a horse-drawn carriage, but even a whole caravan crossing the Qinling Mountains would take less than a day to pass through this [Qinping Avenue].

compared to before.

The existence of Qinping Avenue directly doubles the efficiency and safety of crossing the Qinling Mountains.

And what surprised the three of them even more was that since 'cement' was able to build such a flat avenue so quickly in a precipitous place like the Qinling Mountains.

Then if it is used in war, to build bridges and pave roads, to forge fortresses...

What kind of terrifying power should be exerted?

"Mr. Shengping, 'Mr. Mo', is indeed very human. It's a pity that such a 'divine thing' should benefit the country and the people, and should not appear on the battlefield!"

Six Fingers Heixia couldn't help but let out a sigh.

The disciples of the Mohist school have always been walking in the rivers and lakes with the concepts of "universal love, non-aggression" and "opposition to war".

Originally a year ago.

When Six Fingers Heixia first heard the news that Mo Jun created [the first generation of improved rice seeds], he was very excited and excited, because in his opinion, the 'new rice seeds' created by Mo Jun Once it is promoted to the world, it will be enough to make all the people in the world no longer have to suffer from hunger, and everyone can fill their stomachs.

And once everyone can eat and drink enough, naturally there will be no need to start wars to plunder resources, and there will be no wars in the world.

But what happened next disappointed Six Fingers Black Man.

Because after Mo Jun created this 'new rice seed', he didn't spread it to the whole world, but only supported Qin.

But what puzzled Six Fingers Heixia the most was the start of the "Battle of Wu Sui".

This battle made Six Fingers Heixia feel unprecedented confusion.

Because in his view, the former Qin State was located in a barren land with barren land and frequent famines, so it could only use wars to plunder resources from other countries to feed the people of its own country.

Even though Six Fingers Heixia didn't like the war at that time, he could understand it.

But now, it is clear that the Qin State already has a 'new rice seed'. Once the 'new rice seed' matures, the Qin State will no longer be troubled by famine and food.

But under such circumstances, Qin State not only did not stop the pace of the war, but went one step further and increased the scale of the war.

this battle.

For the first time, Six Fingers Heixia had doubts about the ideal of "peace in the world" that he once firmly believed in.

Because if a country still starts a war when there is no reason to start a war, it means that there is really no way to stop the war in this world.

Six Fingers Heixia was confused.

That's why he chose to come to Hanzhong. He wanted to find the answer from Mo Jun, and he also wanted to find a glimmer of hope from Mo Jun.

Except after Qin Ping Avenue.

The three continued to walk along a flat road paved with dirt for about a quarter of an hour.

Then the densely forested and sparsely populated scene in front of them suddenly changed. Looking down a hillside, they saw a golden and densely packed rice field slowly coming into the eyes of the three of them.

Now is the autumn harvest season.

In the golden farmland, one dark-skinned farmer after another was busy harvesting rice. With a wave of the sickle, a large handful of rice fell down.

Then I saw several women and children coming quickly, picked up the rice and put it into a [hand-cranked rice thrasher] in front of it. Spike was quickly knocked down.

Wait until the one-acre field is harvested.

The wooden box under the rice thresher, which can be filled with three stones of grain, is already full, and some have even overflowed.

Seeing such a harvest, the farmer, who was already sweating profusely from harvesting rice, suddenly burst into a happy smile. He opened his mouth, and the two rows of white teeth were in the sun, forming a sharp contrast with his dark skin.

Seeing such a peaceful scene, the moods of Fu Nian, Tian Guang, and Liuzhi Heixia instantly eased a lot.

Especially the Black Man with Six Fingers.

The scene in front of you.

For him, it was almost what he dreamed of seeing, but he had worked hard for many years, but still failed to find the result.

"what is this?"

Suddenly, Tian Guang who was at the side seemed to have discovered something, and stepped to the side of a vegetable field on a mountain ridge.

Seeing this, Fu Nian and Six Fingers Heixia walked over together.

And when they saw the vegetables grown in the vegetable field, they couldn't help but be taken aback.

Because they suddenly discovered that they had never seen any of the vegetables grown in these several acres of vegetable fields.

Tian Guang, who was born in a farming family, couldn't help but want to get closer to the past and take a closer look.

But before he got close, he heard a reprimand from behind: "Hey~~ where are the three little thieves, stay away from my vegetable field."

The three turned around and looked.

I saw an old farmer rushing over angrily.

Seeing the old farmer approaching, Six Fingers Heixia hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Don't get me wrong, old man. We are not thieves. We just passed by here and saw strange shapes of vegetables in the old man's vegetable field, so we were a little curious."

The old farmer was obviously not in the mood to listen to Six Fingers Heixia's explanation, so he just said anxiously: "I don't care if you are thieves or not, you should keep him away from my vegetable fields first. You can't afford it."

Tian Guang got up and backed away a few steps when he heard the words, while the old farmer stepped forward quickly, protecting the vegetable field behind him like an old hen guarding its cubs.

After the old farmer's mood gradually stabilized.

Tian Guang finally couldn't help asking: "Old man, I don't know what kind of vegetables are behind you, why have I never seen them before?"

Perhaps seeing that Tian Guang, Fu Nian, and Six Finger Heixia really don't look like thieves, the old farmer took a look at the three of them, and then slowly said: "Of course you can't have seen these dishes, these are all Shengping Jun After coming to Hanzhong, we distributed vegetable seedlings to Hanzhong people."

"Mr. Shengping has already said that he will send people over to buy these vegetables in the old man's vegetable field after a while."

"You kids, it doesn't matter if you break something belonging to the old man. But if you break something belonging to Mr. Shengping, then don't blame the old man for being rude."

At the end, the old farmer glared at the three of them.

When the three of them heard the words, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

Why is it Mr. Shengping again?

Although Hanzhong now belongs to Lord Shengping's fiefdom, his reputation spread here too fast!
