I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

The other children of the Mo family looked at each other, a little confused: "His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm? But... His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm has public losers by his side. Shouldn't we suppress the public losers first?"

Mo Shi shook his head: "The public losers surrendered early, and the king of the north has already trusted them. If you want to rush to suppress the public losers at this time, the king of the north will not agree."

The little lady was a little tangled: "Then...then what should I do?"

Mo Shi smiled and said: "There are many legends about the King of the Northern Realm in Chang'an. Although many are not credible, you can find out if you peel back the cocoons. It doesn't work."

Someone said cautiously: "But...brother, the things that the public losers have made recently seem to be quite good, and the people in the northern border country are all talking about them."

Mo Shi couldn't help rolling his eyes: "The Mo family has never operated in the northern border country. If the people here don't praise them, who else should they praise? But if you look at the things they make, do they still have their own characteristics? Use all of them. It is the most basic mechanism technique. Originally, I thought that the public loser was guarding against the king of the northern region, but now, seeing the public loser, there should be no suspicion between them, so it can only explain one thing..."

He turned his head and glanced at the same door and said: "It means that the public loser has no way to integrate their strengths into it, and can only use the most basic mechanism to meet the requirements of the King of the North."

Someone laughed and said: "It's normal, they are not good at this kind of thing."

Mo Shi nodded: "Yes, unless they are suddenly opened up to the second line of Ren and Du, and can incorporate their own specialties into it, otherwise they will be lost after a long time, and His Royal Highness the King of the North now seems to be vigorously developing the people's livelihood. It is my specialty of the Mohist school, let us do better than the public loser, you say...in this case, who will the king of the north use?"

When he said this, the brothers and sisters around him suddenly realized, yes, they are better at this aspect.

Just when everyone was full of confidence, the little lady suddenly said: "But...we can't even see the face of His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Realm now. Even if we want to do something, it may not be easy. How can we make the Northern Realm Does His Royal Highness know that we are better than public losers?"

Yes, no matter how confident they are in themselves, as long as they don't see His Royal Highness the King of the North, they will not be able to achieve their goals.

Mo Shi nodded: "So, what we have to do is to try our best to see His Highness the King of the Northern Territory. If we can't see him, the old man can meet the Prime Minister of the country. Huo Xiang is gentle but upright, and he will not be easily deceived by emotions." Mental."

In other words, Huo Guang is more in line with the Mohist values ​​and more like-minded than His Royal Highness King of the Northern Territory who has various legends.

It's a pity that the northern border country is different from other vassal states. Here, the vassal kings have the final say.

Mo Shi's junior asked: "Then senior brother, what should we do now to attract the attention of the prime minister?"

Mo Shi said, "Think of a way to buy a harvester."

Mo Shi's junior was a little surprised: "Harvester? The public loser is on guard against us. He is afraid that we will imitate it. What a joke. Does my Mo family still lack such a harvester?"

Mo Shi glanced at him lightly and didn't say a word. His junior brother was just being blunt when he said that. If it was really possible, their Mo family wouldn't stick too much. So what about imitation?It doesn't matter as long as you can get a higher reputation.

The Mohist school was originally not like this, but now the scholars, farmers, businessmen... the Mohist family has become obscene, if they don't know how to adapt, who knows what will happen?

He shook his head and said: "It's not an imitation, but an improvement. How can a simple imitation reflect the methods of my Mohist?"

If it belongs to the public loser, they can take it as soon as they take it, and they have nothing to dare to bully the public loser, but what everyone is preaching now is not only the public loser, but also the king of the north.

And in the mouths of the people, the public loser is only an assistant to the king of the north, and it should be the king of the north who really made these things.

Mo Shi didn't dare to take the risk of offending the King of the Northern Territory to imitate, not to mention him, even the head of the Mo family wouldn't dare.

So the only thing that can be done is probably to improve the existing farm tools as much as possible, so that the King of the North can see their value.

Unfortunately, the easiest harvester to improve doesn't seem to be easy to buy.

Mo Shi thought for a while: "If you can't buy a harvester, just buy a Northland plow."

Which improvement is not an improvement?Anyway, the harvester is almost used now. Even if it is improved, it will have to wait until this time next year to see the effect, and the Northland Plow will know next spring, or it can be tested now that there is land. It's easier.

Mo Shi said: "In the past two days, we have been wandering around the city with Gongshu. If it goes well, we may stay here in the future. I heard that the houses in the capital of the northern kingdom are not very expensive. If there is a chance, we will buy a house first. .”

Everyone nodded. Although the post house was well built, it was not as comfortable as their own house after all, especially those mechanism engineers who carried some small tools with them, and there were even larger tools in their luggage, which were placed in the post house. The hall is not convenient at all.

While Mo Shi was discussing how to settle down with his juniors, Liu Tan was also discussing them.

But Liu Tan didn't discuss it with Gongshu and his son, but with Jiang Chong.

Not only that, the two of them also started playing chess arty.

Liu Tan looked at Jiang Chong and asked, "Do you really want to play chess with me?"

Jiang Chong smiled: "It's a rare holiday, I searched all over the city and couldn't find a chess friend, so I can only wrong your Highness and talk to my ministers for a few games."

Liu Tan sneered: "I'm afraid you will regret it."

Jiang Chong was a little surprised: "Is Your Highness so good at this? I have never heard of it before!"

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "Do you really smell bad at playing chess, so you want to find a bully who can't play chess?"

Jiang Chong waved his hands again and again: "Where is it, how dare I think of Your Highness like this? Come, come, Your Highness is black."

Liu Tan picked up a black chess piece with his index finger and middle finger and placed it decisively in the lower right corner closest to him.

Jiang Chong's hand holding the white chess froze immediately. He looked suspiciously at Liu Tan and then at the chessboard. For a moment, he wondered if he had made mistakes in all his previous chess games.

He hesitated and asked, "Your Highness...do you want to come down there?"

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "What? No way?"

Jiang Chong looked at Liu Tan's confident appearance, and hesitantly played the white chess in the star position.

Liu Tan quickly made a move next to the black chess. The more Jiang Chong looked at it, the more he couldn't understand it, and he hesitated to play more, and the time for thinking gradually increased.

Liu Tan didn't urge him, he was bored waiting and even started playing with the chess pieces in his hand.

Jiang Chong was in a trance, and suddenly heard Liu Tan shouting: "I won!"

Jiang Chong:? ? ? ? ?

He didn't lose his fifth hand, so how did he win?

Although Jiang Chong couldn't understand Liu Tan's purpose all of a sudden, he could still decide the outcome. How could it be possible to decide the outcome now?

Jiang Chong looked up at Liu Tan in shock and asked, "Your Highness? Where did you win?"

Liu Tan stretched out his hand and stroked on the chessboard: "Five pieces in a row, I just won?"

Jiang Chong:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

He took a deep breath: "Your Highness, please don't joke with me."

Although you are the King of the North, you can't mess around!

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any questions?"

Just as Jiang Chong was about to say something, he saw Liu Tan leaning forward slightly, staring at him closely and asking, "Do you not know who my grandpa is?"

your grandpa? ? ?Isn't your grandfather the Emperor Xiaojing?Who can not know this?

Jiang Chong was messed up by Liu Tan, and his thoughts were messed up.

Liu Tan nodded: "It seems that you know it, so...do you have an opinion on my victory?"

Jiang Chong was not stupid, so he immediately thought about the relationship between Emperor Jing and Go, and then he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly thought that there was a connection.

Emperor Jing played chess with his cousins ​​back then, and it turned out that one was the son of the emperor and the other was the son of princes and kings. They both developed arrogant personalities in their own family. They fought for the sake of fighting for chess. Emperor Jing just picked up the chessboard and gave it to him. His cousin opened the ladle.

The cousin who opened the dipper naturally couldn't survive, so the cousin's father hated Liu Qi deeply, and at that time, the princes and kings had a lot of power in the feudal country, so they reversed later.

After Jiang Chong figured it out, he realized that what Liu Tan was talking about was Emperor Jing smashing people with a chessboard, and he couldn't laugh or cry. His Highness's threat was really cryptic.

But what they play is Liubo, not Go!

What should you do if your boss cheats on you while playing chess and threatens to hit you with a chessboard?

Jiang Chong could only helplessly admit defeat: "It's the minister who lost."

Liu Tan laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Backgammon also has this way of playing. It is much simpler than Go. I don't know how to play Gobang, so I can play backgammon."

Jiang Chong had a look of disbelief: "Why haven't I heard of it?"

Liu Tan raised his eyes and glanced at him: "There are so many things you haven't heard of."

Jiang Chong thought about it for the same reason, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "Then how do you play this backgammon?"

Liu Tan explained the rules of backgammon and said, "Isn't it very simple?"

Jiang Chong couldn't help being surprised: "It's really simple." After he finished speaking, he laughed and said: "Let's wait for the minister to go back and have a game with the Prime Minister."

"National Prime Minister? National Prime Minister will only find you boring!" Liu Tan said after finishing his complaints: "Okay, I won't make trouble with you. How is the interrogation by those Huns? Can you get the whereabouts of Wushilu?"

Jiang Chong's face became serious: "Not yet, it is said that they and Wu Shilu were divided into two groups at the beginning. When they met the disciples of the Mo family, Wu Shilu was not with them."

Liu Tan knocked on the white jade case and said, "Wu Shi Lu brought a total of more than a dozen people, and the troops actually split into two groups. What is he going to do?"

Jiang Chong didn't speak, and now he really can't see the purpose of Wushilu.

Liu Tan said helplessly: "Forget it, let everyone take strict precautions. By the way, how skilled are the disciples of the Mo family? They are only a few more than the Huns. How did they catch the Huns?"

Jiang Chong said: "According to the Huns, these disciples of the Mo family are really good in skill and riding skills, but the most important thing is that they seem to have some hidden weapons that can be automatically launched in their hands. The wrists and ankles of these Huns There are tiny holes like ox hair on them, and you can't see them unless you look carefully."

Liu Tan understood: "No wonder, this makes sense, by the way, what are the disciples of the Mo family doing recently?"

Jiang Chong said: "A few days ago, they asked Gongshu to take them around the capital, and then they bought a Beijing plow and locked themselves in the courtyard of the post house. Three meals a day were sent in. , has been closed for several days."
