Back to Daqin to be Emperor

Chapter 13 Deeds
Fusu pierced Mo Chu with sharp eyes, and Mo Chu responded without fear: "There is no one else, it's just that a scholar like you, it's better to drink and have fun, playing with poems and songs, like this kind of farm work..."

Mo Chu didn't finish his words, but the ridicule and ridicule in his eyes clearly told Fusu what he would say later.

Fusu knew very well that scholars were so strong at this time, if they were really shrunken here, even Zhang Han would be a laughing stock in the future.

Facing the first emperor, he could endure it, but what qualifications does Mo Chu have for him to endure it?Although he has respect for the Mohists, this is not the reason why he helped Su and was trampled on by Mo Chu wantonly.

Dignity is greater than life and death. In order to maintain one's dignity, brazenly drawing a sword and pointing at one's enemy is an extremely common thing in this era.

"How about a competition between you and me? Three days later, right here, within an hour, whoever plows the most land will win."

Fusu and Mo Chu met each other's eyes, and the air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.

As soon as Mo Chu changed his previous posture, his face became a little serious: "Since it is a competition, there should be some bets. If you lose, how about losing ten gold?"

"Then what if you lose?" Fusu confronted.

"Then I will pay you my life." As a Mohist disciple, Mo Chu has such confidence that he will not lose.This is his arrogance.

Zhang Han reminded from the side: "Young Master, this matter is inappropriate. The Qin law has a saying that the scholars and the people gamble and be punished with two grades. He is a disciple of the Mohist school and is not bound by the Qin law, but is subject to the stricter Mohist law. Such bets simply don't work."

Zhang Han didn't know what Fusu meant, but he wanted to compete with the disciples of the Mohist school in plowing the farmland. Looking at the thick calluses on his feet, he seemed to be used to hard work.

More importantly, the tools developed by the disciples of the Mohist school are ingenious, and the improved weapons can make the soldiers of the Great Qin unstoppable, and the development of agricultural tools is also the top priority of the Mohist school.

Therefore, Zhang Han made a sound reminder at this moment because he wanted to avoid this contest in which Fusu had no chance of winning.

Fusu scratched his head, traveled to Daqin, and was used to being pampered, Fusu didn't know there was such a law.

It is true that Mohists are not bound by the Qin Law, but they have to accept the more stringent Mohism.

During the period of King Qin Huiwen, the son of the Mohist tycoon Fu Sang killed someone. King Qin Huiwen thought that Fu Sang was old and wanted to pardon Fu Sang's son, but Fu Sang told King Qin Huiwen that the Mohist method kills the murderer and hurts others. punishment.So he executed his son with ink method.

"It's not a gamble."

Mo Chu explained: "You and I are not throwing pots or betting money against each other. Instead, we use this as a reward to encourage the other party to reclaim farmland. This is a good thing. How can the Qin court not allow it?"

"If you don't believe me, wait for me to send someone to invite the officials from the government to write a deed."

The contract, which is the contract of the Qin Dynasty at this moment, is also a certificate.For example, if you buy something on the street and it costs more than [-] yuan, the merchant will write down the transaction item and price on the wooden board, then saw it in half, and the buyer and seller will each get half.

Like the competition between Fusu and Mo Chu, you can also write a contract as proof.

Not long after, Mo Chu invited a civil official. The small official and Mo Chu are old acquaintances. In the past, Mo Chu would bring gold, silver and silk to help the poor people here from time to time. How could the small official here do not know?

"Do you two have a biography?" The little official seemed extremely shrewd.

Biography is the identity certificate of the Qin Dynasty. After Shang Yang's reform, under the household registration of Qimin, everyone in the society was completely brought under the jurisdiction of the Qin court. This measure, even in the modern society of later generations, Still in use, it can be said to have a far-reaching impact.

Zhang Han immediately took out the "test" made of poplar boards and the "pass" made of willow sticks from his arms, and handed them to the little official.

This is also the reason why Fusu brought Zhang Han with him. In later generations, Fusu knew that the laws of the Qin Dynasty were strict and strict, and if he was a little careless, he might violate the laws of Qin.

Although he is the son of Daqin, he still cannot be exempted.When King Qin Huiwen was still the prince, his teacher Yingqian was punished and his nose was cut off for breaking the law.

More importantly, if he wants to walk among the people in casual clothes, he needs a new identity certificate, and only Zhang Han can help him do this.

The petty official took the inspection biography and looked it over and over again, and then looked carefully at Fusu and Zhang Han, and finally confirmed that it was correct.

After the identity check was clear, the clerk immediately took out a wooden board from his pocket, picked up a pen and wrote the two people's bet on it, then asked them to sign it, and finally sawed the wooden board in half.

Half of the deeds were handed over to Fusu, and it was written:
"Jiazi in March 35th, county civil servant Xun Yuan wrote: Xianyang scholar Su Fu said: Three days later, there will be a field competition in Chang'an Township, Yunyangli. One hour is the limit. The one who cultivates more fields wins, and Mo Chu wins. , willing to give money and ten gold to Mo Chu, Su Fu wins, and Mo Chu is willing to pay with his life."

So far, this matter has been known to all the nearby people who farm here, and now there is a deed written by the petty official himself, which is guaranteed by law. If someone repents afterwards, the other party can sue and let the officials compel implement.

Everyone was somewhat disapproving of Fusu. Mo Chu and the others knew some details. Although they were arrogant, they also had genuine arrogance.It has always been a lot of help to ordinary people like them.As for Fusu, the two of them only plowed seventy percent of the land in half a day, so how could they compare to Mo Chu?

At dusk, Fusu took this deed and walked on the country road covered in stinky sweat.After walking not far, a carriage appeared in front of Fusu and Zhang Han.

This was what Zhang Han had already prepared.

Inside the carriage, Zhang Han asked, "My lord, are you really sure you can win against that Mo Chu?"

Zhang Han couldn't help feeling a little worried. If you lose ten gold, you lose. It's no big deal, but the lost face can't be bought even if you spend thousands of gold.

"Han Gong, have you forgotten that I met an immortal in my dream before? The immortal once taught me to make a sharp weapon, which can plow a hundred acres of farmland in one day without any trouble."

Fusu's words made Zhang Han's eyes brighten, and he was full of confidence in this competition.

Yes, Mo Chu is indeed a disciple of the Mohist school, good at making tools and equipment, but after all, they are only things made by ordinary people, how can they compare with the tools taught by immortals?

The astonishing things like the white paper that was white and smooth before, as thin as a cicada's wing, have proved that Fusu really dreamed of meeting an immortal.Therefore, at the moment Fusu said, Zhang Han chose to believe in Fusu without hesitation.

As night fell, Zhang Han walked out of Shang Jun's old house with a blueprint, full of joy in his heart.Ever since Fusu started writing, Zhang Han felt that the things on the paper were exquisite and ingenious.

As a result, he has even more confidence in the competition three days later.
