124. Forces

In March, it is the season when the peach and plum are in full bloom and the situation is just right.

When I got up in the morning, Mo Shu felt a little uncomfortable in my body, thinking that it was because I didn't sleep enough in the spring, and recently my heart began to swell and hurt a little in front of me, which was obviously a sign of starting to grow, it was the age of snooze, and I couldn't help but want to lie in bed when I got up so early to exercise in the morning.

Maybe that's why I feel uncomfortable. Mo Shu thought.

Mo Shu touched the small bag that was a little swollen and painful on her chest, and she felt that life was like a dream. If you count the memories in her dreams from her previous life, she should be experiencing such a stage of life for the third time, right? But why do you still feel so uncomfortable?

By June of this year, Mo Shu would be thirteen years old.

In the past six months, nothing very special has happened, but the national glory of Daliang is getting worse.

The locust plague in May and June last year Mo Shu made a great contribution, I thought that I could use this to let my family go back to Lingbei in Zhongzhou, but I didn't expect that because someone got in the way, he persuaded Liu Kai at the last moment, although Liu Kai did not feel that letting the Mo family return to Lingbei was to let the tiger return to the mountain, but the suspicion of the past was still a little bit after all, thinking that it would be good to give Mo Zhihai more time to consolidate his power, so he changed his mind and did not let the Mo family return to his hometown.

It's just that considering that Mo Shu has made a great contribution after all, this can't be erased, so I mentioned it to Mo Zhihai, and the current patriarch of the Mo clan in Lingbei had no choice but to rewrite Mo Shu into the family tree.

Such a major event, Mo Zhihai just deleted it from the genealogy without informing Mo Shu at the beginning, and only let people open the ancestral hall and change the family tree, without telling Mo Shu and the people of the Mo clan in Chang'an, let alone welcoming Mo Shu to re-enter the genealogy.

If it weren't for Mo Shu hearing the holy decree mention, she wouldn't have known that there was such a thing.

Mo Shu had already guessed that his expectation of returning to Lingbei in Zhongzhou by virtue of the locust plague had been disappointed, and when he heard that he could return to the family tree, the original loss was slightly lighter.

In Mo Shu's heart, because of the relatives of the Mo family, who regarded it as a treasure before, she still has deep feelings for the Mo family.

Therefore, Mo Shu will be bent on revitalizing the Mo family. Because of this, Mo Shu was very sad when she heard Mo Zhihai cross out her name from the genealogy father's children before, and this incident became a thorn in her heart that could not be removed.

It is also a great comfort to hear that I can return to the family tree.

Mo Shu's mood was a little better.

As for the reward of gold and silver cloth mentioned in the holy decree, Mo Shu didn't care too much. Maybe it's because Liu Kaizheng is bent on saving money to dig canals and go west, and he is not willing to give too much money, and even very little compared to the past.

Of course, it may also be because Liu Kai didn't take much credit for Mo Shu's locust plague, or his mind was not on it.

Mo Shu received the reward, and that was the end of the matter.

There is a locust plague almost every few years, and this time the people do not have the memories of their previous lives like Moshu, so they naturally don't know what kind of catastrophe the poultry in Moshu's farm has eliminated.

In the dream of the previous life, in addition to the drought and the ravages of locust plagues, the food harvest in many places was lost, and even the grass and trees were not eaten, which led to the tragedy of cannibalism, but also because there were too many dead people and the plague occurred, and many places such as Qilu and Zhongzhou almost became dead places and cemeteries where no one died.

Mo Shu didn't want to remember too much.

It's okay now.

The locust plague soon passed, because the subsequent tribute of the small country became the content of the people's after-dinner conversation.

But Mo Shu was busier.

Man-made disasters have occurred one after another along the canal, and although the locust plague is not serious in many places, life is not easy because of the previous drought and reduced grain production.

In such a situation, local officials at all levels were still greedy for these disaster relief grains, and the money and grain delivered to the disaster areas were not saved, and the taxes were not reduced, and the people were full of complaints.

But Liu Kai turned a deaf ear.

This drought and locust plague, in addition to Daliang, the northwest grasslands were more seriously affected, not only a large area of pasture grass was eaten up, but also caused a plague.

If it weren't for the vast and sparsely populated grasslands in the northwest, I am afraid that the plague would spread more severely.

But even so, the Northwest Wuhu also suffered heavy losses, seeing that there was no food for the winter, and the intrusion into the border of Daliang became more and more intense.

So much so that the horse farms of all families, including those of the Duke of Wei, had to move back from Greyuan to Baishi City.

And it has already migrated to Baishi City, and it is still harassed by the Hu people in the northwest from time to time.

Sometimes the cavalry of the Wuhu even regarded the horse farms of these girders as nothing, and not only plundered these horse farms, but then attacked Baishi City.

Among these many horse farms, only the Jin State Mansion did not suffer any losses, and it was able to protect several horse farms around it when the Hu soldiers in the northwest invaded the border.

The people in the northwest, especially Duan Yuelan, couldn't help but start to miss the days when Wu Ziheng was still in the northwest.

It's just that most of the officials and soldiers in the northwest reported good news and did not report bad news, and saw that the Hu people only looted from time to time, and did not attack on a large scale, and thought that Emperor Liu Kai of Liang had failed in his two westward expeditions before, and did not want to touch his head at this time, so Liu Kai just remembered this matter, thinking that when he had saved enough money, he would recruit troops and transport grain to the west again, and when the time came, he would be ashamed again, and he did not mean to use Wu Ziheng again for the time being.

Although Wu Ziheng knew about this, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to ask for help.

Mo Shu didn't go out much in the past six months, and as the world was obviously not peaceful, she devoted herself to the preparations before the war.

During the drought and locust plague in Jing'an in the fifteenth year of Jing'an, the Mo family donated a lot of money and food to the local disaster relief in the name of businessmen, and most of them were rewarded, and they also gained a reputation for benevolence among the local people.

In addition to this, this business continues.

Now the grain transferred to the capital from all over the country is in charge of the caravan of the Mo family. It can also be seen from this that the talents of the Mo family's descendants who went to various places to do business.

Although Mo Shu was simply from the purpose of making money in business and accumulating capital, the smart and well-born steward had already considered the longer-term aspects.

Although Mo Shu and her family are far away in Chang'an, they can always get the latest news from all over the world.

Including the case of the Grand Canal.

There are even some news that are known more earlier and more detailed than the special spies of the Jin State Mansion. This made Wu Ziheng also start to care about these people from the Mo family.

Wu Ziheng was also affected by the noble and lowly ranks of Shinong businessmen, although he knew that businessmen in various places could play a certain role, but he did not expect this role to be so great. The Wu family also began to follow suit, allowing people to go to various places to do business.

But after all, the Mo family is one step earlier and has already gained a firm foothold, and although Mo Shu is not a business talent, after all, she has a business philosophy that has been accumulated for more than a thousand years, but she is really not comparable to the Wu family, and because of the relationship between the two families, the Wu family is not easy to use their own power to suppress the Wu family, so the people of the Wu family have to discuss with the people of the Mo family when doing business in various places.

At this time, Mo Shu still didn't know that the Mo family's descendants and people who were doing business had become a force to be reckoned with. (To be continued.) )
