Chapter 132 Hanzhong Knowledge
"Less than three hours."
At the exit of Qinping Avenue, after handing over the previous 'pay card' to the toll collector at the exit, the Black Man with Six Fingers glanced at the sky, and suddenly sighed and said this sentence.
Fu Nian and Yu Tianguang were slightly silent, and they naturally understood the meaning behind the words of the six-fingered black man.
The Qinling Mountains are difficult and dangerous, and everyone knows it.
At the previous speed, it would take at least two or three days for ordinary people to cross the Qinling Mountains in a horse-drawn carriage.
However, to pass this [Qinping Avenue] now, not only a horse-drawn carriage, but even a whole caravan crossing the Qinling Mountains would take less than a day.
Compared to before.
The existence of Qinping Avenue directly doubles the efficiency and safety of crossing the Qinling Mountains.
What surprised the three of them even more was that since 'cement' was able to build such a flat road so quickly in a precipitous place like the Qinling Mountains.
If it is used in war, building bridges and paving roads, casting fortresses...
What kind of terrifying power should it exert?
"Mr. Shengping, 'Mr. Mo', is indeed very human. It's a pity that such a 'divine thing' should benefit the country and the people, and should not appear on the battlefield!"
Six Fingers Heixia couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Mohist disciples have always been walking in the rivers and lakes, fighting for justice with the concept of "universal love, non-aggression" and "opposition to war".
Originally a year ago.
When Six Fingers Heixia first heard the news that Mo Jun created [the first generation of improved rice seeds], he was very excited and excited, because in his opinion, the 'new rice seeds' created by Mo Jun Once it is promoted to the world, it will be enough to make all the people in the world no longer have to suffer from hunger, and everyone can fill their stomachs.
And once everyone can eat and drink enough, naturally there will be no need to start wars to plunder resources, and there will be no wars in the world.
But what happened next disappointed Six Fingers Heixia.
Because after Mojun created this 'new rice seed', he didn't promote it to the whole world, but only supported Qin.
But what puzzled Six Fingers Heixia the most was the beginning of the "Battle of Wu Sui".
This battle caused Six Fingers Heixia unprecedented confusion.
Because in his view, the former Qin State was located in a barren land, with barren land and frequent famines, so it could only use wars to plunder resources from other countries to feed the people of its own country.
The war at that time, although Six Fingers Heixia didn't like it, he could understand it.
But now, it is clear that the Qin State already has a 'new rice seed'. Once the 'new rice seed' matures, the Qin State will no longer be troubled by famine and food.
But under such circumstances, Qin State not only did not stop the war, but went one step further and increased the scale of the war.
This battle.
For the first time, Heixia Six Fingers had doubts about the ideal of "peace in the world" he once firmly believed in.
Because if a country has no reason to start a war, but still starts a war, it means that there is really no way to prevent the start of a war in this world.
Six Fingers Heixia was confused.
That's why he chose to come to Hanzhong. He wanted to find the answer from Mo Jun, and he also wanted to find a glimmer of hope from Mo Jun.

Except after Qin Ping Avenue.
Then the scene of dense forests and few people in front of them suddenly changed. Looking down a hillside, they saw a golden and dense rice field, which slowly came into the eyes of the three of them.
Now is the autumn harvest season.
In the golden farmland, one dark-skinned farmer after another was busy harvesting rice. With a wave of the sickle, a large amount of rice fell down.
Then I saw several women and children coming quickly, picked up the rice and put it into a [hand-cranked rice thrasher] in front of it. Spike was quickly knocked down.
Wait until the one-acre field is harvested.
The wooden box under the rice thresher, which can be filled with three stones of grain, is already full, and some have even overflowed.
Seeing such a harvest, the farmer, who was already sweating profusely from harvesting rice, suddenly burst into a happy smile. He opened his mouth, and two rows of white teeth stood in the sun, forming a sharp contrast with his dark skin.
Seeing such a peaceful scene, the moods of Fu Nian, Tian Guang, and Liuzhi Heixia instantly eased a lot.
Especially the Black Man with Six Fingers.
The scene in front of you.
For him, it was almost what he dreamed of seeing, but he had been working hard for many years, but still failed to find the result.
"What's this?"
Suddenly, Tian Guang at the side seemed to have discovered something, and stepped to a vegetable field on a mountain ridge.
Fu Nian and Six Fingers Heixia saw this and walked over together.
And when they saw the vegetables grown in the vegetable field, they couldn't help being taken aback.
Because they suddenly discovered that they had never seen any of the vegetables grown in these several acres of vegetable fields.
Tian Guang, who was born in a farming family, couldn't help but want to get closer to the past and take a closer look.
Before he could get close, he heard a reprimand from behind: "Hey~~ where are the three little thieves, stay away from my vegetable patch."
The three turned around and looked.
I saw an old farmer rushing over angrily.
Seeing the old farmer approaching, Six Fingers Heixia hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Don't misunderstand, old man, we are not thieves. We just passed by here and saw strange shapes of vegetables in the old man's vegetable field, so we were a little curious."
The old farmer was obviously not in the mood to listen to Six Fingers Heixia's explanation, so he just said anxiously: "I don't care if you are thieves or not, you should keep him away from my vegetable fields first. You can't afford it."
Tian Guang also stood up and backed away a few steps when he heard the words, while the old farmer stepped forward quickly, protecting the vegetable field behind him like an old hen guarding its cubs.
Wait until the old farmer's mood gradually stabilizes.
Tian Guang finally couldn't help asking: "Old man, I don't know what kind of vegetables are behind you, why have I never seen them before?"
Perhaps seeing that Tian Guang, Fu Nian, and Six Fingers Heixia really don't look like thieves, the old farmer took a look at the three of them, and then slowly said: "Of course you can't have seen these dishes, these are all Shengping Jun After coming to Hanzhong, we distributed vegetable seedlings to Hanzhong people."
"Mr. Sheng Ping has already said that he will send people over to buy these vegetables in the old man's vegetable field after a while."
"You guys, it doesn't matter if you break something belonging to the old man. But if you break something belonging to Mr. Shengping, then don't blame the old man, I'm rude."
At the end, the old farmer also glared at the three of them.
The three of them looked at each other immediately after hearing the words.
Why is it Shengping Jun again?
Although Hanzhong now belongs to the fiefdom of Lord Shengping, his reputation spread here too fast!
