At this time, Zhai Jin had already sent a disciple to the village in advance to report the news, so when everyone came to the entrance of the village, nearly 100 people had gathered on the road at the entrance of the village, waiting to welcome their arrival.

After the plateau and others approached, they saw three old men come to the plateau's horses and salute together, and one of the old men led by them said: "Old Mo Jing, I have seen Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan hurriedly dismounted and returned the salute and said, "Everyone, old people, don't be polite. ”

Then Zhai Jin asked the other two old men on the plateau, one was called Mo Cheng, and the other was called Mo Ye, these three people were the leaders of the current batch of Mo family disciples, and Mo Jing was the current village head.

Gao Yuan saw that the three old men were not young, not to mention over sixty years old, their beards and hair were gray, but the clothes they wore were all made of very coarse cloth spliced animal skins, if it were not for the clothes made into the style of Chinese clothing, they were no different from the steppe nomads. And the other people around are dressed in similar clothes.

After everyone made a noise at the entrance of the village, Mo Jing, Mo Cheng, and Mo Ye welcomed the plateau and his party into the village.

The scale of the village is not large, and there is also a circle of village walls on the periphery to protect against the attack of wild beasts, and the houses inside the village are very simple, basically adobe and wooden structures, and the roof is covered with thatch, on the whole, it looks similar to the village of the Bailing tribe, but after Gao Yuan and others entered the village, the doors of many houses were opened, and people stood at the door to look, and Gao Yuan noticed that many people's eyes brought out the light of begging.

Because he received a report from the disciples sent by Zhai Jin in advance, he was already ready to welcome them in the village, and specially vacated a few empty rooms for the soldiers to rest, and also prepared drinking water and some food to entertain the soldiers. Gao Yuan first ordered the soldiers to release the three flying birds and establish a communication relationship with the camp, and then they were invited to a large room in the village with Shui Xinyue, Chunyu Zhongxiu and others, accompanied by Mo Jing, Mo Cheng, Mo Ye and Zhai Jin.

Although it is a large house, apart from the large space, the furnishings in the house are still very simple, except for a few tables and chairs, there is no other furniture. The walls are made of rammed earth, moss has grown in many places, the roof is also thatched, and the ground is all earth, and there is a little dampness. Although Shui Xinyue and Chun Yu Zhongxiu are not women who pay too much attention to material comforts, after entering the house, they still can't help frowning slightly, this condition is even inferior to the camp of the Dai Army. I don't know if the Mo family is still respecting Mozi's simple and frugal thinking, or if the conditions here are too poor.

Chun Yu Zhongxiu has been to the Bai Ling Clan, although the rooms in the Bai Ling Clan's residence are not very good, but the furnishings in the room are much better than here, the ground is at least paved with wooden boards, the rammed earth walls are also covered with animal skins, in addition to tables and chairs, there are also cabinets and other furniture, as well as pots and vases and other decorations, looking much more comfortable. And although Shui Xinyue has never been to the residence of the Bai Ling clan, she has never seen such a humble environment, and the two of them almost thought at the same time, no wonder some people have fled from here in the past hundred years and returned to Huaxia to settle down, to be honest, this is indeed not a good place to live.

However, both of them are people with strong self-control, and they are obviously unhappy in their hearts, but they still don't show a little on the surface, and when Mo Jing invited them to sit down, both of them thanked them.

After everyone sat down, Mo Jingcai gave a salute to the plateau and said: "Wu Anjun, Zhai Jin's younger brother Chen Gui has explained to us that Wu Anjun is willing to accept our group of Mo family disciples, let us return to Huaxia, and live and work in peace and contentment in Dai County, we are very grateful for Wu Anjun's kindness, but Zhai Jin asked us to dedicate the mechanical drawings left by the ancestor to Wu Anjun, but it made us a little embarrassed. ”

Gao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what difficulties there are, but please ask the village chief to make it clear." ”

Mo Jing looked left and right, and Mo Cheng said: "That's the case, the ancestor designed these drawings back then, in the hope that there would be a monarch to use the Mo family thought to govern the country, so that the Mo family disciples can use these instruments to help them unify the world. ”

Zhai Jin listened, also slightly discolored, and was about to speak, Gao Yuan Ji smiled: "I have no prejudice against Mohist thought, in the place under my rule, as long as you abide by the law, you can let you spread Mohist thought, attract believers, Mr. Zhai will preach and recruit disciples under my rule, but if I want to use Mohist thought to govern the country, it is definitely impossible, what is the reason, I think Mr. Zhai should understand, by him to explain to you, better." As for the will left by Master Mo, I naturally can't force you to disobey it, so if you have difficulties, then the drawings might as well be done, but I still welcome you to settle in Daijun. ”

When the three of them heard this, they were also a little surprised, and they didn't know what to say for a while, and Zhai Jin was also a little displeased at this time, and said: "Three, when we talked about the patriarch's doctrine before, several of them also thought that the patriarch's doctrine did have great shortcomings, and it could not be used as a policy to govern the country. ”

After listening to Zhai Jin's words, the three of them looked a little embarrassed, and Mo Chengfu said forcefully: "Although we also think that the patriarch's doctrine does have great shortcomings, but the patriarch's arrangement of the drawings is indeed a testament, not to mention that we are not asking Wu Anjun, we must govern the country with the Mo family doctrine, but the patriarch's testament, how can we easily violate it, so we do have difficulties." ”

Mo Ye also said: "Also, although the village is now headed by the three of us, but such a serious matter, only the three of us, it is difficult to make a decision, we must discuss with other people before the final decision, if most of the disciples are against it, the three of us can't force the patriarch's will." ”

Seeing the three of them say this, Zhai Jin couldn't say anything for a while, after all, what the three of them said was not unreasonable, no matter whether Mo Xiao's doctrine was good or bad, but the will left by Mo Zi, from the position of the Mo family's younger brothers, it was indeed impossible to disobey lightly, which was determined by the ethics and morality of this era.

And Gao Yuan smiled: "Since this is the case, the three of you might as well gather everyone from the Mo family to discuss and decide together, but I still say the same thing, whether there are drawings or not, I welcome the Mo family brothers to move to Daijun to settle down." ”

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, Mo Jing hurriedly said: "This is just right, we really need to discuss it well, and Wu Anjun has traveled all the way, the carriages and horses are hard, and it is not too early now, we have arranged a residence for Wu Anjun, please Wu Anjun rest for the night, and wait until tomorrow morning, we will discuss with Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll bother you." ”

Mo Jing immediately ordered the three of them to be sent to the room that had been arranged for them to rest, this house has been carefully tidied up, divided into two entrances, the front is the place where the guests sit and talk, and the back is the lounge, although the furnishings are still simple, but the ground is supplemented with wooden planks, and the wall behind the bed is also hung with animal skin linen cloth, covering the adobe, so it looks better than the house they gathered. However, it was probably the younger brother sent back by Zhai Jin who did not make it clear, Mo Jing and others regarded Chun Yu Zhongxiu and Shui Xinyue as the wives and concubines of the plateau, so they only arranged a house for the three of them, and when the plateau found out, the disciples of the Mo family had already said goodbye and left.

This plateau is also a little embarrassing, although the defense of men and women in this era is not as strict as in the Song and Ming dynasties, but in the same room, it is not very suitable, I was thinking about whether I was going to squeeze a night with the soldiers, or to find the Mo family, let them arrange another house for themselves, at this time Shui Xinyue had already seen the plateau's thoughts, and said: "Forget it, anyway, it's one night, don't be so troublesome, I think it's probably difficult to find a decent room here." Let's squeeze in all night, and leave tomorrow anyway. ”

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this good?" ”

Shui Xinyue said lightly: "It's nothing bad, anyway, there are two rooms here, we live in the inner room, you live in the outer room, if you also want to live in the inner room, you can also squeeze it, I don't care, it just depends on whether Zhong Xiu is willing or not." ”

Chun Yu Zhongxiu's face suddenly turned red, lowered his head, and said softly: "Wu Anjun doesn't have to be so troublesome, just rest here for the night." ”

Seeing that both of them said this, Gao Yuan naturally did not want to ask for a change of place, first, the conditions here were indeed not very good, and it was also very difficult for them to ask the Mo family to arrange another house for themselves; The second is that they only stay for one night anyway, Chun Yu Zhongxiu and Shui Xinyue are not ordinary girls, and they don't pay too much attention to these subsections. So he also nodded and said, "Okay, you live in the inner room, and I will live in the outer room." ”

After deciding to live, it is dinner, although Gao Yuan is the first time to come to this village, but in Dai County has also come into contact with some Mo family brothers, knowing that the life of the Mo family brothers is simple, because it is also quite simple in terms of diet, a meal is usually a bowl of wheat rice, a small plate of Qinglai on the line. And now it is estimated that the diet level of this village is not as strong as that, even if you don't adhere to the habit of Mojia frugality, but the conditions are too poor. Therefore, in terms of diet, Gao Yuan made some preparations, not only brought enough pots and pans, but also brought some rice ball rations and some jerky, and he didn't have to worry too much about dinner, but he had to do it himself.

Fortunately, although Gao Yuan has been the monarch for several years, he has not forgotten these things, so he immediately picked up a few wooden blocks that paved the ground, dug a small pit in the land, picked up a few stones and some firewood outside, surrounded the stones on the edge of the small pit, and made a simple stove. Then light a fire, burn the wood, set up a cauldron on the stove, and start boiling water.

When the water in the pot is boiling, pour the rice balls into the pot, stir evenly, and then cut a piece of jerky into small pieces of meat, scatter them in the pot, and mix them with the rice balls to cook together. And put the rest of the jerky on an iron fork and put it on the fire to grill.
