199. Chapter 198
Acacia was dreaming, but suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, her eyes had not yet opened, and her shoulders felt densely itchy, she couldn't help but snort, and the itch spread from her shoulders to her arms......
Rubbing his waist and opening his eyes, Acacia gritted his teeth and cursed, I don't know what went crazy yesterday, I tossed her again in the middle of the night, and she couldn't fall asleep until dawn, and it was noon again when she fell asleep. Reaching out again, the pillow was already cold, and it was obvious that the person had woken up earlier than her.
Humming in the quilt for a long time, Acacia simply broke the jar and covered the quilt to nourish his body, but he always felt hungry and tired when he lay down, and a feeling of loneliness arose.
"Are you awake?"
When Acacia was hesitating to get up, Moxi's voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
Xiang wanted to lose his temper but felt that he had no strength, so in the end he could only tilt his head pitifully and say to Mo Li: "Hungry!" ā
Mo Liang smiled helplessly, reached out and took Acacia out of the quilt, and stretched out his hand to put on Acacia's obscene clothes, but when his eyes swept the red marks on the fine white skin, he always had a little forbearance, and his body was slightly stiff.
Acacia was listlessly served by Mo Liang like a child, and after she finished freshening up on the bed and drinking a bowl of chicken porridge, she looked at Mo Liang lazily and dissatisfied: "Did you go out last night?" ā
Mo Liang was slightly stunned, he thought that Acacia had fallen asleep.
Acacia yawned and swept him with beautiful eyes.
Mo Li seemed to be able to smell the sour vinegar smell in the air, and he didn't feel in a good mood, so he hugged her and smiled: "It's just to see a few old people?" ā
"See the old man in the middle of the night?" Acacia said with a nasal hum.
Mo Liang touched Acacia's long hair, thinking that Acacia had suffered so much in his so-called blood relatives in his previous life, and even died in the end, his smile shallow and said: "It's just to see the last face, and they will never appear in front of us again in the future." ā
Acacia looked at his side face, listening to the familiar tone, his heart trembled, and then he thought about Mo Li's words, and immediately wondered if these people would be Mo Li's uncle's family, after all, it seemed that only these people could make Mo Li so disdainful and eager to erase it forever.
Thinking of what these people had done again, Acacia couldn't help but hug Mo Li's arm, comforting silently, there were some things she couldn't say, after all, she hadn't gotten along with Mo Li's uncle and family in her life, and it should be suspicious to say too much.
Looking at his wife's well-behaved appearance, Mo Li's heart softened, those people were no longer the wounds in his heart, and he was not the young man who kept wanting to know the truth and wanted revenge and humiliation, these people cleaned up in their previous lives, and this life is just another time. In this world, except for lovesickness, no one can hurt him anymore.
"Would you like to sleep a little longer?" Mo Liang stroked the broken hair on Acacia's forehead, and said in a soft voice, as if coaxing a child.
Acacia was full of food and drink and was too lazy to get out of bed, but after sleeping for so long, even if her body was lacking, she was still fine, she first shook her head and pulled Mo Li's arm and said, "Didn't you say that you were going to the palace to run an errand today?" ā
"It's back." Mo Liang said indifferently, not feeling anything wrong with running home after ordering a meal.
Acacia's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but smile and said, "Be careful that the prince of the world comes to catch people." ā
"I'm afraid the old prince is not good." Mo Li said flatly.
Lovesick was shocked, and when he recalled carefully, he couldn't remember when Prince Bao died in his previous life.
"That's a good thing." Mo Liang said lightly, and mentioned Prince Bao sensibly and indifferently: "If you wait until the prince is successful and Prince Bao is still alive, then the world will be unstable in the future, and Prince Bao's mansion is not only a child." ā
Acacia couldn't help but suspect in his heart, Prince Bao might be Mo Liang secretly wanted to kill him in private, but he couldn't ask about it, and he couldn't even show an expression, no matter whether this matter had anything to do with Mo Liang or not, he couldn't let Mo Liang be suspicious, and he was like a tiger, since Mo Liang chose Li Jianshen, then there was no room to turn back.
Mo Li originally just said casually, looking down at Acacia, but he understood the worry in her eyes, and his heart immediately became soft and warm.
"Don't worry about me, I'll talk to you about it." Covering Acacia's bright eyes with the palm of her hand, Mo Li whispered in her ear.
As if according to the preset in Mo Li's heart, Prince Bao passed away, Li Jianshen went back to mourn, and then overwhelmed all the forces in Prince Bao's mansion and became the new Prince Bao. The king of Guangjun and the prime minister didn't care much, but fought each other to the death, plus the Hu people broke through the defense line and entered the Chen State from another border city, and the Chen State soon entered the melee.
The impression of the king of Guangjun and the prime minister in the hearts of the people has also plummeted, and no one wants to see that when foreign enemies come to attack, the sky is dark when their own family fights first, and this kind of boring internal friction not only consumes the lives of the people, but also consumes Chen Guo's pretty good family foundation. As the Hu people invaded more and more fiercely, the cities became empty, the villages and towns were empty, and a large number of refugees were exiled, accompanied by disease and hunger, and even the villages and towns near Kyoto starved to death.
At this time, the two places in Yanbei are like a paradise in the troubled times, an oasis in the desert, a large number of people know that the two places are rich, and there is no war and there is enough food, so no matter where they are, how far away, they will help the old and the young to rush in this direction.
Mo Liang has always been good at doing business and has an active brain economically, Li Jianshen simply let Mo Liang take care of the people's livelihood, and leaving these refugees will also expand the influence of Yanbei and Yanbei. In this world, only people can form a state, if the people run out, who will contribute food and who can form an army, the ruler of the bare pole is just a joke.
Mo Liang and Meng Huoran's thoughts are very consistent, he did not let all the refugees enter the city, but left them in the villages and towns near the city, here in recent days, Li Jianshen and they expected that there would be refugees to take refuge, especially the newly carved out villages and towns, these villages and towns were originally not many, and many of the original residents were also arranged to work in the city. After the refugees came, they were first arranged, then the doctor checked their bodies, and then classified according to whether they had skills, and some large families who had no skills but had money could choose to live in the inner city or in the town.
In this way, except for those who are lazy and slippery, always thinking of taking advantage, other people who want to live a down-to-earth life have been given jobs and slowly settled down, some are in charge of farming in nearby villages, some are responsible for some handicrafts, and are responsible for cooking and making clothes for the army, and better yet, they are in the army's weapons factory, and now there is a shortage of people everywhere, even if they are lazy and slippery and want to get something for nothing, they have been brought into the army and become the head soldiers.
The area of Yanbei and Yanbei is expanding day by day, and when the King of Guangjun and Cheng, who did not put Li Jianshen in their eyes, fight each other to exhaustion, Li Jianshen already has the status of an orthodox royal family in the hearts of the people, not to mention that in recent years, the army of the new Prince Bao has wandered around the border, guarding the vicinity of Yanbei and Beibei, and all the Hu people who have the courage to invade are often killed at the first time, and the losses of the people have been minimized, but the call for Prince Bao to succeed to the throne has risen to the highest.
At this time, it was impossible for King Guangjun and Prime Minister to strangle Li Jianshen again.
In the blink of an eye, it is the autumn of the second year, the autumn is the harvest season, the land that can grow grain in Yanbei from the inside to the outside is strictly controlled, prohibiting any family or merchant from maliciously buying and selling, Li Jianshen and others even paid out of their own pockets to buy some good land, and then distributed it to the hard-working people, after the people harvested, in addition to paying a part of the grain that was not heavy, the rest of the nature became their winter rations, and the granaries of Yanbei and Yanbei were also plump.
Compared with the bumper harvest in Yanbei and Yanbei, the rest of the Chen country was not satisfactory, and when it was time to sow seeds, due to the invasion of the Hu people, many farmers who guarded the land became refugees and fled in all directions, resulting in a large area of land that was uncultivated, and naturally there would be no harvest at this time. As for the area under the jurisdiction of the king of Guangjun and the prime minister, the two sides fought for a long time, rapidly consuming the grain in stock, and the two sides trusted too much in the family that controlled the grain for a long time, but once they were overstretched, the family would naturally threaten the grain with food, and so on, it became a vicious circle, and the people in the land under their jurisdiction also because of the oppression of these families, they could not eat, resulting in a large area of population death, and the output of the land naturally fell to the lowest level in history.
The number of people fleeing to Yanbei has increased again.
"Don't you see those newly fled down-and-out families who want to put on a show when they enter our city gate? They are all hungry as if they are asking for food, and they still have the face to talk about what conditions, and what kind of ancestors' faces are taken into account, phew! "Zhuang Jinyuan has lost a lot of weight over the past year, and he has become darker and darker, and no matter how delicate his facial features are, he can't resist the temperament of a martial artist.
"These families who can escape obviously still have a foundation, of course, they arrogantly want to negotiate conditions, but they have forgotten about Hedong for thirty years, and Hexi for thirty years." Meng Huoran touched the stubble that had just grown, stepped into the courtyard, and then looked at Zhuang Jinyuan worriedly: "Kyoto...... No news from your family? ā
Zhuang Jinyuan took out an apple, took a bite, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that my eldest brother is doing well in front of the prime minister, so I don't worry about it." Besides, our family still has a lot of land, and the prime minister always has some scruples, so I am afraid that he still has the intention of blackmailing me, but the more time passes, the less chips he has in his hand, and the more he dare not move. ā
Meng Huoran nodded, and said: "Recently, someone mentioned yƬ and wanted to redeem the princess's family from Kyoto with grain, but in the end, it was the prince's father-in-law's family......"
Speaking of this, he turned his head and asked Mo Li, "Isn't your uncle's family also in Kyoto?" ā
Mo Li's steps were brisk, and when he heard this, he only hooked his lips and said: "They are just small people, and the prime minister can't look down on them." ā
Meng Huoran wanted to say something, but Mo Liang ran up, and then raised his eyes to see, Mo Liang had already hugged the acacia that came out in his arms, and he didn't know what to say when he lowered his head.
"Whoa! Why did my cousin fall in love with him! The two have been married for more than a year, and Zhuang Jinyuan is still angry.
