Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 193

Chapter 193

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

Just as Mo Jun walked into the room, Wang Jian greeted him with a big smile, and then took Mo Jun very courteously to the upper position.

Before Mo Jun sat down.

Seeing that Meng Ao who was beside him actually did it himself, raised his cuffs and poured him a glass of wine.

"Come on, come on, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time, today we will not be drunk forever."

On Meng Ao's vicissitudes old face, he was smiling like a chrysanthemum at this moment, and when Mo Jun was seated, he immediately put a wine glass in his hand and put it in Mo Jun's hand.

And farther away, Meng Wu and Wang Ben, two famous Qin generals, put one vegetable and one meat into Mo Jun's bowl with great enthusiasm...

As for the opposite side of the table, Yang Duanhe, Zhang Tang, Xin Sheng... and other well-known generals from the Qin Kingdom are all gathered in this small private room of the music and dance studio, all smiling, holding With the wine glass, he looked at Mo Jun kindly.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that this group of famous killing gods would show such amiable faces one day.

And behind Mo Jun, there are several young Qin generals such as Meng Tian and Li Xin. Now Meng Tian, ​​Li Xin and other young generals have begun to emerge in the army, and they have taken the position of Commander Wan.

However, in this banquet at this moment, the few of them couldn't even fit a chair, so they could only stand behind Mo Jun expressionlessly.

of course.

Although from Mo Jun's point of view, these people seemed to surround Mo Jun intentionally, completely blocking his escape route.

"Hahaha~~ I haven't been able to return to Xianyang for ten years. I never thought that there would be such a genius as 'Sheng Pingjun' in Qin. God bless me, Da Qin. Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Not bad. Speaking of which, the old man has been sitting on the border all these years and has not returned to court for a long time. Today is the first time that the old man meets 'Sheng Ping Jun'. Today I must have a good drink."

"Well said, after returning to court this time, the old man has never visited 'Sheng Ping Jun'. Speaking of this matter, the old man has lost his manners. Today's banquet, the old man should punish himself with three cups."

The last words came from a middle-aged military general Mo Jun didn't know. Drank it down.

Mo Jun looked at the lively scene in front of him with black lines all over his face, and couldn't help covering his face with one hand, quite speechless.

He now feels like a horse being 'flattered'.

It was a very comfortable thing to be flattered, and Mo Jun, a common man, couldn't avoid it, but now in this room, he only felt a burst of embarrassment.

There are two reasons:

For one thing, because the group of people who are flattering this time are all rough old men, it is really not interesting.

Secondly, and the most important point, these veterans are obviously not good at this kind of thing, basically all the flattery is on the horse's hoof.

The more important point is that at the very beginning, this group of people was at least 'flattering', but 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, come on, Mr. Shengping, eat more food, and eat more to grow your body... Ugh!"

Meng Ao: "..."

Wang Jian: "..."

Mo Jun: "..."

"Generals, if you have anything to say, just speak up!"

Mo Jun rubbed his eyes, really couldn't bear to see the sight of hot eyes in front of him.

Wang Jian and Meng Ao also rubbed their eyes. Although they don't know why the matter has developed to this point, it is obvious that they can't stand it anymore.

Hearing Mo Jun's words, the two looked at each other, and then coughed lightly: "Cough~~~Since you have said so, Mo Jun, the old man and others will not be polite. In fact, I was waiting to invite you here today because I just wanted to I want to ask you something."

Having said that, Wang Jian paused for a moment, then lowered his voice, and asked tentatively, "Is there still enough food and grass in the national treasury?"

As soon as Wang Jian said this.

The generals who were still in embarrassment and noise just now also calmed down instantly, pricked up their ears, and quietly focused their eyes on Mo Jun.

Mo Jun gave a slight pause to the hand holding the wine glass, and then said: "Investigating the treasury is a serious crime, General Wang asked why?"

Wang Jian's expression froze.

Just then.

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

Say it.

Meng Ao turned his head to look at Mo Jun again, and continued: "And you boy, is it true that you don't know why I came here this time? Although you have excused yourself to build an academy these days and did not come to Xianyang to discuss matters, but How can you really not hear anything about such a big event."

While Meng Ao was speaking, several young generals including Meng Tian and Li Xin had already walked out the door, and quietly drove away all the people around them, so as not to hear the next conversation in the room if there were ears on the partition wall.

After hearing what Meng Ao said, Mo Jun also shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "Okay! Since Senior Meng has already said it, then I won't keep it. But before that, I want to ask... "..."

Having said this, Mo Jun looked around at the crowd, and then continued, "I don't know how many generals will lead the battle in this battle?"

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

we can even say.

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

Because of the upcoming unification war, even if Mo Jun is not a military general, he will not be able to avoid him in many cases.

Not to mention.

Just because he is still 'Zhi Su Nei Shi', it is doomed that Mo Jun will be one of the busiest people when the war starts next.

And this is also the reason why these military generals invite Mo Jun.

In fact, normally speaking, Zhi Su Neishi is responsible for the logistics. These generals didn't deliberately find Mo Jun before the war, especially in this way.

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

It's been said several times before.

The state of Qin was a barbarian and had always been barren and impoverished. Especially during the reign of the previous kings of Qin, it was common for Qin soldiers to fight hungry.

Ordinary people in this era are too weak to resist natural disasters. As long as they encounter a little disaster, ordinary people will starve to death in pieces.

most of the time.

Qin took the initiative to start a war, the purpose is to grab some food, so as to tide over the difficulties.

However, Mo Jun didn't know that simple hunger was not the most terrible thing for the Qin army. The really terrible thing was the sudden food shortage during the battle.

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

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

In the latter case, when the previous "Neishi Zhisu" were in office, not to mention often, but basically every "Neishi Zhisu" did more or less similar things.

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

As a result, the "national grain in stock" in the eyes of King Qin and the actual "national grain in stock" have become completely different things.

The result naturally led to the edict promulgated by the King of Qin, and it was suddenly discovered that the treasury was out of food.

Because of this kind of thing.

The successive kings of Qin did not know how many officials they killed, but they still kept banning them repeatedly.

In the end, these front-line generals had nothing to do. Although they had received an edict from the King of Qin before the war, most of them still had to make a special trip to [Zhisu Neishi Mansion].

Just like the last time Wang Jian and Meng Ao went to [Zhi Su Nei Shi Mansion] to play hooligans.
