Chapter 869: Moon Country II
Liu Yue later asked Mo Yu about Princess Toli's whereabouts, and learned that Princess Toli voluntarily took poison and died, Liu Yue felt a little pity in her heart.
This is not fake at all, because everyone is a woman, Liu Yue understands too much the determination of a woman to fight a moth to a fire for the love of her heart, and also understands the courage of a woman to fight and grab for love.
So Liu Yue felt that Tolly's death was really a pity, although she was very willful, very ignorant of the rules, and always hostile to herself.
But her persistent belief in love made Liu Yue feel precious. I used to be obsessed with love and couldn't find my own direction.
Love is not the only one, true love needs precipitation and rationality. You have to understand who can give you happiness and who can make you truly happy.
And Liu Yue feels that she is actually inferior to Princess Tolly, Princess Toli can face it calmly after knowing her mistake, but what about herself?
After the Xiongnu returned to Mo Li, the first thing Mo Li did was to completely let the Xiongnu and the border cities exchange markets.
The mutual market can promote the run-in between the Moon Kingdom and the border cities, and at the same time, the precious ores of the Moon Country, as well as horses, cattle and sheep, can also be transported to other towns more conveniently. In this way, more silver can be earned in exchange for more food and much-needed materials.
In fact, since Mo Li subdued the Xiongnu and changed the Xiongnu to the Moon Kingdom, several large towns adjacent to the border cities have stopped blocking trade with the border cities.
Although it can't be put on the surface, it is extremely safe to go to the black market, and you don't have to worry about getting caught. And the main reason for this is due to the strength of the border city, with the Moon Kingdom as the backing, isn't it easy to annex other towns?
Most of the generals defending the city also understood. The city cannot be defended, and sooner or later it will be breached. And the only thing that can be done now is to stop embarrassing the merchants of the border city. Let's talk about the gems and other things of the Moon Country. It is true that everyone looks red, and the beef and mutton are indeed fatty and delicious.
If there is a need, there will naturally be a market, and this is something that cannot be stopped by officials. It's better to leave a way back for himself, if he really breaks the city one day, at least he can save a life. Now that the merchants of the border city are in trouble everywhere, wouldn't they directly offend Mo Li.
Don't leave this person to be avenged, even the emperor's enemies must be avenged. Not to mention ordinary generals. Therefore, after careful discussion, the generals of the surrounding cities made the decision to turn a blind eye.
After Mo Li saw the meaning of the surrounding cities, more and more goods were shipped to other towns. And the grain brought to the border cities also gradually increased.
The common people of the border city know that now the border city has been separated by the emperor and is regarded as a rebellious minister and thief. For generations, the people of the border city have regarded the Mo family army as a god-like incarnation,
The Mo family and the border city are not only the relationship between the guards and the common people. More often than not, Mo Jiajun is an umbrella. An umbrella that can protect the safety of the people in the border city. Therefore, the people of the border city treat the Mo family army as a god and as a relative.
There has never been a military-civilian dispute in the border city, and no one is hostile to soldiers, let alone a soldier who will bully the common people.
This stability, this peace, is not something that the emperor can break. For the people of the border city, the emperor is just a distant title, only the Mo family's army. Only the Mo family can ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and can everyone have food and drink.
So when the people saw that Coach Mo really wanted to rebel. The common people are supportive. And the emperor's series of practices towards the Mo family, the common people also hate. Since the emperor forced Coach Mo to return, why didn't he fight back?
Could it be that letting the emperor put him to death is this loyalty and patriotism? Without the generational protection of the Mo family army, how can the people live in peace.
The people of the whole city also did their own things seriously, and worked hard to transport the goods out of business, and those who farmed the land did well.
The women raised chickens and ducks together, or rushed to make winter clothes at home. No one encouraged such an atmosphere, and no one said anything to the common people, but all the men, women, and children in the city were as busy as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
At the same time, Mo Li directly selected the farmers who knew the most about agriculture from the border city to go to the Moon Kingdom, and the land that the Xiongnu King had cultivated before would need to be re-packed. Before, it was passive standby.
Now the peasants know that their responsibilities are heavy, and that all the grain they produce is to supply the grain and grass in the army.
Therefore, the peasants all showed their years of experience in farming, and planted the crops that were most suitable for the land quality of the border city according to the difference between the land quality of the border city and the land of the moon. And the first thing is corn, and now it's just not autumn, and there is still a chance to start sowing in a hurry.
Corn and peanuts and cotton can be harvested before winter.
Although these are coarse grains, these crops are not recognized by the place, and as long as there is land, they can grow and produce grain. Coarse grains are also food, which can also feed people and prevent the people from starving to death.
The people of the Yue Kingdom were indignant at the loss of the country, but they understood that what they had to do now was to make a good living, obey the orders of the Central Plains General, and farm the land and raise cattle and sheep well. Otherwise, if you wait until winter, without shelter, everyone will starve to death.
Will anyone care about your life or death? The Huns, more than the people of any other country, were eager to live, and in their opinion there was hope to live.
So the grief of the loss of the country did not last long, and immediately everyone began to work, doing what they had to do, without words and without quarrels.
Bian Moli felt that this was a group of tough people, because they knew that only by living could they have a chance to return to the country, and if they died, they would be empty words.
Now it is the strongest time of the year for cattle and sheep on the grassland, because the Huns are good at raising cattle and sheep, so most of the breeding work is still done by the Huns, but it is necessary to have the Central Plains people to follow and learn their breeding techniques.
And the Xiongnu people will also follow the farmers to farm, this is their hope, hoping that in this grassland, they can also produce food, can also be full of treasures, but also let everyone have no worries about food and clothing.
Mo Li was busy running at both ends of the border city and Yueguo every day, and he had to take time to inspect the soldiers' drills, Mo Li was not in a hurry to attack the surrounding towns, not for any other reason,
It's just because the Mo family army needs to recuperate now, and the original warriors of the Huns who have been incorporated need to run in with other soldiers.
And then the other dozen is grain and grass, if you start attacking other towns now, it's okay now,
Then, in winter, how to solve the problem of eating and drinking so many people? Especially since the Huns have just been subdued, if they continue to starve to death,
No one dares to guarantee that they will not give up their hard work just to earn a bite to eat. So now you need to recuperate, you need to fatten yourself, and when spring begins, it is the best time for you to take the initiative.
When Mo Li expressed his opinion, the other Mo family members also supported it, and the shape in front of him was best to be safe, and to accumulate more food, so that the soldiers could practice better and lay the foundation for the next war, so why bother?
It's just a matter of time, I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not bad for more than half a year. And at least now a relatively big problem has been solved, the Xiongnu have become the Moon Kingdom and a vassal state of the border city. (To be continued......)
