Qin asked

After the plague, the state of Qin has restored order, and the people have begun to recognize the new king of Qin.

Putting down the last bamboo slip, both Mo Dou and Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, and it was finally over.

Ying Zheng twisted his neck and said with a smile, "I have worked so hard these days, I really want to thank you very much."

He didn't hear Mo Dou's response for a long time, Ying Zheng looked at Mo Dou strangely, but found that the other party was holding a bamboo slip in a daze, so he stood up curiously and went to Mo Dou to look at the bamboo slip in his hand.

When Mo Dou found out, Ying Zheng had put his hands beside him and was looking at the bamboo slips in his hand. Taking advantage of his age, Ying Zheng firmly covered Mo Dou under his body, and his strong and long breath brushed against Mo Dou's ear... Mo Dou His face gradually turned red, when did Ying Zheng look like this?Why did he feel the breath of hormones?

"What is Dou looking at? A doctor?"

Mo Dou was a little dizzy from the vibration in Ying Zheng's chest. He didn't hear what Ying Zheng said, so he subconsciously nodded indiscriminately.

"What did Dou see in him?"

Mo Dou still didn't react: "Huh?"

"Hmm, what? The widow is asking you something."

Mo Dou held back for a long time, and said, "May I get up first, Your Majesty?"

Ying Zheng raised one eyebrow, got up and stood aside, signaling Mo Dou to continue.

Mo Dou heaved a sigh of relief, finally he no longer felt that oppressive feeling, and gradually returned to his thoughts: "I think Dr. Xiong is very useful."

Ying Zheng walked back to his seat: "Oh? Just this one doctor who bent the law for personal gain?"

Mo Dou defended Xiong Ai: "It is not so much bending the law for personal gain as it is bending the law for public benefit."

Ying Zheng retorted lightly: "That's nothing but a person who perverts the law. The Qin State has advocated the rule of law since Duke Xiao. This person violated the taboo of the Qin State."

Mo Dou thought for a while, then followed Ying Zheng's words: "It just so happens that the king punishes him to make up for his mistakes?"

"No, this is unfair to others."

Mo Dou's consciousness is at a loss for words, indeed, Ying Zheng's approach is the rule of law, and his approach of making up for mistakes is the rule of man... But he really feels sorry for Dr. Xiong.

"This person guards himself and steals himself. He knows the law and breaks the law. He should be reduced to a slave." At this point, Ying Zheng looked at Mo Dou.Seeing that Mo Dou didn't say a single word of defense, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and said with a calm expression, "For meritorious service in fighting the epidemic, I will bestow this person on Dou...is Dou still satisfied?"

Mo Dou was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mo Dou really liked and even admired Xiong Ai, so when he saw this person in front of him, he was shocked and disappointed.

Who is the person standing in front of him? Shouldn't this kind of person who contributes to the public cause of mankind be indomitable?Shouldn't it be full of fighting spirit and hope even in adversity? ?Shouldn't the eyes shine in the dark to guide the lost people? ? ?

Can anyone tell him that this slovenly, sluggish, timid and greasy uncle is not the Xiong Ai he wants? !

It's not that Mo Dou looked at his face, but that he really couldn't see what he expected in Xiong Ai's eyes.

Mo Dou stared at Xiong Ai for a long time, but still didn't see anything, he was a little lost in interest: "You saved someone secretly?"

Xiong Ai's body froze, he didn't expect that Mo Dou was the first to ask him about saving people, Xiong Ai quickly raised his head to look at Mo Dou, then lowered his head again: "Yes."

"Do you regret it?"

Do you regret it?Of course he regretted that he was demoted to slavery for those who had nothing to do with him. If he was allowed to go back to that time, he would definitely not meddle in other people's business.

Seeing that Xiong Ai didn't speak, Mo Dou asked again: "Why did you do it?"

Xiong Ai was silent for a moment, then sighed wearily: "Xiong is just an ordinary person."

An ordinary person will be soft-hearted, impulsive, do wrong things, and even regret it...

Mo Dou's heart moved, and he looked at Xiong Ai below. Below was such an ordinary uncle. His back was slightly bent under the years of polishing. He was regretting that he was nosy, because he couldn't bear the consequences of this matter at all. .

However, if he cast away his identity as a time traveler, if he hadn't met Ying Zheng like this, would Mo Dou dare to do so many things?In the final analysis, Mo Dou is also an ordinary person.

Having money can make a person kind.

This statement is ironic, but it is true to some extent.

Then where does he have the qualifications to see Qingxiong Ai?

Mo Dou stood up and walked down, stood in front of Xiong Ai and helped him up: "Doctor Xiong, please sit down, Dou has something to discuss with Dr. Xiong."

Xiong Ai struggled to get up: "Xiong dare not."

Mo Dou smiled at Xiong Ai: "No, Dr. Xiong is worth it."

Xiong Ai was puzzled: "Young master?"

Mo Dou stared at Xiong Ai: "I want you to spread all kinds of anti-epidemic methods to the world, will you agree?"

Xiong Ai was silent for a moment: "Young master thinks highly of me..."

"Tell me what you need. If you make a contribution, I will ask the king for a gift. I can't guarantee the title, but at least I will let you go to slavery."

Xiong Ai didn't seem to hear clearly, he shook his lips and asked, "What did you say, young master?"

Mo Dou looked at Xiong Ai without blinking his eyes: "I said, if you do this, I guarantee that at least I will go to your slavery."

"Young master...but you're lying to...Xiong..."

"I begged you for a long time with the king, not to deceive Dr. Xiong."

"Okay..." Xiong Ai's eyes shone, although it was for his own future, "Xiong...agreed!"

Seeing Xiong Ai's leaving figure, Mo Dou suddenly remembered an extremely important thing...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Sometimes, life is like climbing one mountain after another. After you have worked so hard to climb one mountain, you will find that there is another mountain behind the mountain, waiting for you to conquer it.

Then, after Mo Dou climbed over a big mountain, he came across a desert...

And the water he worked so hard to save before was used up in the plague... used up...

Why didn't he save water then? !Is it necessary to take a shower every day? !

Well, it was necessary...he had foreseen the hardships of life after him...

...

Natural disasters like this are very difficult even for later generations. After so many years of South-to-North Water Diversion, the eastern and central routes were barely completed. Mo Dou has Baidu, and he can't create artificial rainfall.

Therefore, when Ying Zheng came to Mo Dou for help as usual at night, Mo Dou, who had always been omnipotent, could only shake his head, and then directly suggested to Ying Zheng to prepare for disaster relief.

Food for work is a good idea, as long as you have the money.

Ying Zheng nodded regretfully. He thought that Mo Dou had a way to solve the drought directly, but fortunately, he has nothing else now, and he still has a lot of money. Lu Buwei is a businessman himself, and the poor only have money, and Ying Zheng Zheng himself made a lot of money selling colored glaze.

The caravans that went to various countries to buy colored glaze at the beginning of those years finally came back one after another.

As a result, these caravans who had just returned to China went to various countries to buy food non-stop, carrying money.

It stands to reason that the practice of working for relief will not touch most of the interests, however, the method of disaster relief with work for relief is still hindered.

There was already some anger in Ying Zheng's tone: "Why doesn't uncle agree?"

Lu Buwei looked at Yingzheng lovingly, as if facing an ignorant child: "The king is still young after all. Although it is good to use work for relief, it requires a lot of money and food, and Qin cannot afford it." .”

"The widow will bear it!"

"Your Majesty is joking. I have been in charge of the finances for many years. I am afraid that no one knows better than the minister whether Qin can afford it."

"The widow pays for it himself."

Lu Buwei smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty has a heart of loving the people, which is the blessing of the common people. However, this Qin Kingdom belongs to His Majesty, and even Qin cannot afford it. Where can Your Majesty get money and food?"

"The widow..."

Ying Zheng just wanted to talk about Liuli, but was interrupted by Lu Buwei: "Does your lord have any evidence to prove it? You know, this matter is related to the state of Qin, so you can't just say nothing."

Ying Zheng was speechless for a moment, evidence?All the evidence was taken to buy food.

Ying Zheng swallowed his breath and asked, "Then what does uncle plan to do?"

"If anyone can contribute money and food to overcome the difficulties of the Qin State, he will be given a title if he has contributed to Qin."

As soon as Lu Buwei said this, there was no sound in the hall, everyone lowered their heads, only Lu Buwei and Ying Zheng looked at each other.

Ying Zheng felt that his ears might have misheard, and he asked, "What did uncle just say?"

Lu Buwei squinted his eyes, as if he was doing a business: "I believe that if the common people are willing to accept grains and thousands of stones, they can worship at the first level. At that time, Qin will have the financial resources to provide relief with work."

Ying Zheng clenched his hands into fists, and said in a low voice, "What if the widow disagrees with you?"

No matter how nicely Lu Buwei said, it could not conceal the essence of buying and selling official titles. Official titles have always been rewarded only by kings. Buying and selling?

You are the one who sells the title, you are the one who buys the title, you are the one who heals the disaster, and you are the one who will want the people, and you will take advantage of all the benefits... Who gave you the confidence and rights!

Lu Buwei bowed down and saluted, calm and unhurried: "Only this plan can solve the difficulties of the Qin State, and for the safety of all people, please advise the King Nachen."

Lu Buwei's voice was generous and firm, as if he was admonishing the king of Qin for the people of Qin, but Ying Zheng heard sharp and piercing laughter, hidden in every word Lu Buwei said.

Ying Zheng swept across the ministers, and they silently followed Lu Buwei and knelt down on the ground, like silent loyal ministers following Lu Buwei to persuade the ignorant king.

Opening and closing his fists, Ying Zheng took a few deep breaths before calming his voice, suppressing the initial anger back to the bottom of his heart, he heard himself say: "So, just do as uncle said."
