In early May, the weather became hotter and hotter.

In the copper and iron furnace, flames churned in the large furnace. The workers sat in the cool corner with their homemade earthen fans, hoping to dissipate the heat brought by the increasingly heavy summer and the hot experience brought by the increasingly gentle flames.

Two ink-speakers came over with a cart, carrying salt water, ringed the iron bell, and shouted loudly: "I'm sweating, come here to drink water!"

They shouted over and over again, and Zhi couldn't help but urge to curse: "I'm a mother, can't I even give me some peace and rest for a while?"

Reasonably, he also knew that drinking a sip of warm salt water at this time was good for him, but reason was rational, and the reason of ordinary people could not suppress emotions.

He cursed and echoed repeatedly: "This unscrupulous ink master..."

"The God-killed Mai Ke..."

"The Mo family raised by animals..."

Everyone cursed, Mozhe curled his lips and wanted to curse him back, but when he saw the wings of their eyebrows and noses, he looked exhausted, he sighed: "Speak softly, save some energy, and take a short break later, and you will have to do your job again in the afternoon!"

As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped cursing.

Seeing this, Mozhe felt a little relieved and continued, "Have anyone learned what you are going to learn today?"

As soon as this was said, there was another scammer.

The ink master smiled bitterly, and he was a little happy.

...

Ju Zizhou left the copper and iron furnace construction site and returned to Xianyang City.

The fifteen miles away is a little tired and time-consuming on weekdays, but after the weather gets hot, the fifteen miles away will cost half a life.

As for this, Ju Zizhou had been working on the construction site for a long time before.

He was a little tired, so he thought about it and went to the restaurant of Shi first.

"Brother Ji, don't be fine." Ju Zizhou greeted with a smile as soon as he entered the door.

Zi was lowering his head to settle the score. When he heard Ju Zizhou's voice, he felt a little familiar. When he looked up, he immediately smiled happily: "Haha, it turns out that it is Brother Zhou. I'm so hard to wait for you. I'm going to come to my place to drink after I've had time, but I didn't come for 20 days!"

"I thought you were unwilling to come!" Jin smiled and glanced at the situation in the store.

There were two other guests eating in the store.

Coincidentally, both of them are old guests.

Jin had a moment of thinking. Soon, he looked at the door, locked the door, entered the room, and walked out with a pot of wine: "Brother Zhou, come, we have been reunited after a long time, so we should have a bowl of it!"

"Just about to bother Brother Ji to get wine for me!" Ju Zizhou said with a smile.

He glanced at the two guests in the store, took the wine bowl handed over by the monk, and handed it to the two of them: "Do you two want to drink together?"

These two people were used to drinking. They took a quick look at the turbid wine in Ju Zizhou's wine bowl and immediately became angry: "Zhen, you guys, the wine you usually buy with us is so clear and light, why is the wine today so thick and thick?"

Of course, the thicker the wine, the better. Thicker means less water.

"Do you still expect how thick a wine can be?" The monkey brows furiously? "How about it, can you drink it together?"

"What is this wine without water...?"

"You are cheaper, three cents!" said Jin Dadu: "I can mix this bowl of wine into four bowls on weekdays. Today you two have already picked up a big bargain!"

The two looked at each other, both of whom were proud, fearing that Ji would regret it, so they took out three cents and lined them up on the table. They took the wine pot from Ji's hand and poured a full cup for themselves. They drank it down and immediately turned around and opened the door and ran away.

"This..." Jin was so amused and crying.

He reluctantly locked the door again, then took the six money on the table, poured himself a bowl of wine, touched Ju Zizhou, took a sip, and felt something was missing, so he went to the inner room to get a piece of bacon and two small knives: "Just drinking, I always feel that something was missing, come, brother Zhou, taste this meat!"

Ju Zizhou was not polite either. He picked up a knife, cut a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth.

The meat is still a little bit slutty, but it is much better than when it comes to fresh meat.

"This meat is good." Ju Zizhou said.

"Ha, I'm worried that you are used to eating delicacies and don't like my simple meat!" I sipped a sip of wine, chewed the residue from the wine, cut a piece of meat, and stuffed it into my mouth: "If you like it, eat more."

Ju Zizhou nodded, and while eating and drinking, he asked, "Brother Ji, how are your business here recently?"

"You saw it too, the business is not good." Jin shook his head: "But it is normal. The nobles look down on me, the small place, the neighbors, and they don't have the money to eat and drink with me often..."

"The business is not good, have you ever thought about changing your route and doing some other business?" Ju Zizhou asked while eating meat.

"Change the way?" Jin shook his head, a little dejected, then remembered something and looked up at Ju Zizhou.

Ju Zizhou smiled: "Brother Ji, don't forget that there are people in the copper and iron furnace with money in their pockets and willing to spend money!"

The eyes of the genius lit up: "Brother Zhou, what do you mean... can I go to the copper and iron furnace to sell food?"

Ju Zizhou nodded and shook his head again: "You can go and sell...but it is not limited to selling food."

In fact, there is no shortage of food in the copper and iron furnace.

What the workers inside need most urgently is not eating.

They are not short of food in production and life.

What people want is never specific food, water and other things.

What people want is ultimately a good life.

So what is a good day?

When you are hungry, you can eat, you can drink water when you are thirsty, you can have fans when you are hot, and you can have thick clothes when you are cold.

To put it bluntly, these "eating", "water", "fan", "thick clothes" and other things are just tools to fill the needs. They can only achieve some means to achieve a "better life", rather than the goal.

So... what is the biggest obstacle for the workers on the construction site, the "better life" they want to achieve?

...

After finishing drinking with Ju Zizhou and Jin, they went home to take a bath and change their clothes, and they changed into regular clothes. Today, they were in the Qin Palace.

After not seeing each other for more than 20 days, Ju Zizhou felt that it was time for him to meet Ying Zheng.

I wonder if he had made up his mind to accept the principles of "struggle" that he told him last time.

...

Ying Zheng watched Wang Jian beating on the ground by three orderly peasant militiamen, who tried to break free again and again, but was repeatedly pressed back to the ground and was indifferent.

Even Wang Jian, who is known for his courage, finds it difficult to gain an absolute advantage in the hands of three militias who have been trained and have a vague understanding of the situation.

These are just three people.

When we arrived at thirty people, three hundred people, thousands of people, and thirty thousand people?

Ying Zheng dared not imagine, the more he imagined, the more he felt that there was no way out.

At this time, the eunuch came to report: "Your Highness, Mr. Ju asks for a visit."
