Chapter 138 Romance
Ask for a long sigh.
The Mohist rituals and principles are the most important thing, but they are not attacking. As a great man of the Mohist genius, he even believed in Mohist rituals as his belief.
However, he was not able to practice the principles he believed in.
Ju Zizhou, who was more trusted by the King of Qin, turned out to be unable to do anything.
Ju Zizhou didn't know what he was thinking about, and even if he knew it, he might not care.
"Do you have time for me?" Ju Zizhou asked.
"Mr. Ju has something to do?" Qun was a little confused: "Although I am a little confused and have poor morals, I am always brave. If the gentleman is a little dirty, I can handle it on my behalf."
Ju Zizhou shook his head: "It's not a dirty job, I just want to ask Juzi to help me secretly go to the copper and iron furnace construction site to check the specific situation..."
"Construction site? What happened there?" Inquired the matter looked unaware of it.
Ju Zizhou sighed and told him about the situation that Li came not long ago.
"Mr. I mean... I asked me to inquire about the news, but I didn't interfere?" Inquiry was very puzzled: "Since Mr. cares so much about the affairs of these workers, why do I ask me not to interfere?"
"Because... the time has not come." Ju Zizhou said vaguely.
The time has not come, which means that the time has not come to begin to change the basic policies of Qin.
The situation here in the copper and iron furnace is almost impossible to change based on the virtues of the current group of slave owners and nobles.
This group of people... want others to work hard for themselves, but don't want to pay for them, and they are even less willing to bear the "notoriousness" that may be brought about by changing the status quo.
But where is such a good thing in this world?
It is human nature to make greater contributions and demand better treatment.
Ju Zizhou watched Xun leave, his eyes swept over the cleaned tableware and the stone mill that had been dismantled twice, and shook his head.
Sleep.
For the time being, we cannot change too much, otherwise we will be in opposition to the entire political system of Qin.
Will die!
...
Zhi stood in front of the big furnace, the flames jumped and the air was transmissing and twisting, and he felt a little thirsty.
So I licked my lips with my tongue and tasted a hint of sweetness.
It's time for the lips to be chapped again.
Zhi raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, a glaring red look.
"Don't be lazy!" someone shouted loudly behind him.
Then there were heavy footsteps.
Zhi's body trembled, and he quickly danced the steel fork in his hand and flipped the charcoal in front of him.
Suddenly, he missed the salt and water that he had been resting for a few months ago.
I don't know if I have a chance to drink...
Thinking of it, my eyes suddenly turned dark and I fell forward.
"Be careful!" Qin Li, who was patrolling behind him, saw that Zhi was about to fall into the fire, immediately reached out and pulled Zhi back: "Are you still alive?"
Zhi was confused and could understand the words in his ears, but he couldn't think carefully about what words meant. His mouth opened and closed and he couldn't say a word.
Qin Li opened Zhi's eyelids and looked at it. His pupils did not dissipate. He then looked into his nose. Although there was not much air in and out, he still had it.
"Come someone to help me, this person is still alive!" Qin Li shouted loudly.
The work in front of the furnace is the most difficult. More than half of the more than forty workers who have died in this position. There are very few remaining workers who dare to come to this position. Even if they have added wages, not many people have signed up.
Moreover, palm fire requires some technical content, so even if there are a large number of copper and iron furnace workers, there is no way to train qualified workers in a short time.
The construction period is tight at the moment, and the King of Qin is about to launch a war. According to Qin's custom, the update and iteration of weapons is particularly important.
Since the copper and iron furnace has the technology to smelter steel with better quality than ordinary copper, the Qin King Yiren did not intend to leave the copper and iron furnace idle.
Starting from October, Ju Zizhou was transferred from the copper and iron furnace and developed a steel stir-frying method, and the entire copper and iron furnace has been in a high-strength operation state.
The workers have two meals a day, with meat and full meals every meal!
This is something that ordinary families with no Gengjue can do.
Five thousand people consumed a lot of money for eating like this, but the King of Qin no longer cared about this cost.
The copper and iron furnace was opened for more than eight months, and for six months, it was dumping iron tools outward.
Ironware is cheap and has good performance. In addition, the factory was founded by His Majesty the King of Qin, so if you need it or not, everyone is willing to come here to buy some ironware.
So the accumulation of small amounts makes a lot of money, and the copper and iron furnaces actually make some money.
It is definitely not enough to use this money to work hard on the army and reward soldiers, but it is not too easy to let a mere five thousand people eat enough.
However, although the money is enough, the King of Qin is not a prodigal son who can reward 100 kilograms of gold for just one move. He still needs to save the money he should save.
The wool comes from the sheep. Since the workers can eat meat, the wages do not need to be too high.
...
"I think you are helpless." The man looked at Chen Lang and shook his head.
Chen Lang was stained with blood, his lips turned pale, and his face was scary: "You didn't help me, how could you know I was out of here?"
"My intuition has always been very accurate." The man smiled: "So you must be helpless!"
"Really? I don't believe it!" Chen Lang smiled, smiled, and looked down at his body.
It's indeed beyond salvation.
My smile was restrained.
The eyelids are very heavy.
"Look, I said you must be helpless!" The man smiled and sighed again: "Brother Chen, what color of coffin do you like? I still have some money, so it is not difficult to get you a four-layer coffin."
Four-layer coffin...The Emperor's Ceremony.
Chen Lang was speechless.
"You old Zhuangzi learnt this way, why do you look like this..."
Although he was already helpless, he was not dead after all.
This birdman... should pretend to be sad even if he doesn't cry!
"The coffin is not needed." Chen Lang shook his head: "Everyone's wealth and interests cannot be taken away. You, a thief, prepare a coffin for me, are mostly lobbying and begging everywhere to make up my coffin for the benefit of others."
"I... although I can't practice my righteousness, at least, I can't betray my righteousness, and I can't harm others' benefits because of my affairs... You should expose me to the wilderness and feed insects, snakes, birds and beasts. When the future is fat, I can teach the farmers and savages to eat enough, which is also my last thing to do to benefit others." Chen Lang gasped slightly.
His life is over.
"Actually, what's the use of that principle of justice?" The man squatted in front of Chen Lang, looking bored: "No matter how correct your principle is, you have been abandoned by those merchants and cannot practice the principle of justice. Isn't that wrong? Isn't it a fantasy?"
Chen Lang looked at the man in front of him and could no longer see clearly his unpretentious face.
"My righteousness is right." Chen Lang encouraged his last strength: "The merchants abandoned me because my righteousness is right. In the long run, I united them and fought against the throne together, which was beneficial to them, so they were willing to follow me because it benefited them."
"And they abandoned me just because Fengjun is too strong and is an enemy of Fengjun. In the short term, it will damage their interests."
"So, they abandon me who will harm their benefits."
"There are these actions before and after, because they believed in my righteousness."
The man sighed: "So what? You are going to die, and your righteousness will disappear into the world with your death!"
Blood was oozing from Chen Lang's eyes.
He has lost all his vision.
Soon, he will lose all his life.
"Do you have any wishes besides feeding birds?" The man squatted in front of Chen Lang and shouted loudly, afraid that he would not hear it.
Chen Lang's brain is doing its final work.
He said, "Go and help me... give Mozhe some salt and money, go to Qin State, ask Mr. Ju Zizhou... My righteousness is right... Go to my house..."
The sound gradually became lower and unheard.
The man patted Chen Lang on the cheek: "Hey, go to your house? Where is your house? Where is the Mozhe?"
He scratched his head with some distress.
"Trouble, please..."
