Chapter 44: Confusion
"This ......" Ruan Shi, Du Geng and the others looked at each other, only feeling as if they were listening to the Arabian Nights.
Guan Feng raised a question: "However, we only have a hundred or dozens of people now, how can we turn things around?" ”
"We're weak now, but that's our goal! As long as we move towards this goal and continue to work hard, I believe that one day it will be achieved! Only when you have a goal in life can you live a meaningful life! Is that right? Mo Li said very confidently.
Liang Peijun rolled his eyes, but didn't come up with anything to refute him.
Lin Guo looked at Mo Li with little stars in her eyes, although she didn't know much, she knew that what Master Mo said was very reasonable, and he would not be untargeted, almost everything he said was done, he said what flamethrower to develop, he did it, he said that he could defeat the Tartar cavalry, and he did it, Jinzhou killed more than 2,000 real Tartars in the first battle, and became famous in the first battle.
And he just said that he would develop his strength to build his own strong team in the future, and one day he would be able to clear the monarch's side and be in the court, and she also believed that he could do it.
Lin Guo is just a small village girl in Liaodong, she doesn't know what kind of monarchs and ministers, and she doesn't care if Mo Li's method of pulling up the banner of rebellion to strengthen herself is in line with the cognition of orthodox thought, she only knows that he will not lead his brothers to the dark, and she is willing to follow him all the time.
Ruan Shi thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Brother Mo, you are our leader, and the concubine should not interfere with your decision-making, but ...... After all, this matter is very important, the late husband has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty before his death, and tried his best to maintain it, I think it is better not to let the first husband bear the scolding of disloyalty and injustice, I hope that Brother Mo will forgive me. ”
Mo Li was stunned, and suddenly remembered that this was an ancient era when the idea of loyalty to the monarch was very serious, and it would indeed be unrealistic for you to make them agree with your theory of rebellion all at once. But it's okay, now I don't have a single word, I don't have everything, why think about it so far? As long as you make your strength stronger first, it doesn't matter if you are called a king or not, not to mention that it is a little whimsical now.
So he nodded and said, "Madame is too worried, Mo Li just put forward a hypothesis, and he doesn't necessarily have to do that." But in any case, we should strengthen ourselves and strengthen ourselves, so that if the Tartars dare to invade, we can also drive them out. The most important thing now is how to ensure everyone's safety, and how to solve our survival dilemma in the future. The big guys are all going to eat, although there is a little food stored here, but we have to take precautions to eat the empty mountain. ”
Ruan Shi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Brother Mo is right! What good advice do you have? ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one said anything for a while. Mo Li also has a headache, the people in this cottage, except for the bandits who are the soldiers they brought with Mo Li, what can they do? Darts? In this troubled world, there are many bandits and rogues like locusts, isn't that the rhythm of looking for death? Continue to charge tolls? Well, it seems that there is only one way to go.
But just now I have already said in front of everyone that I will not loot in the future, isn't this digging a pit and jumping by myself?
Mo Li thought for a while and said: "Madam, brothers, I thought about it for a while, the brothers in the cottage are either bandits or our soldiers, they are all rough people, and they don't seem to know anything except fighting. ”
"But, Lord Mo, didn't you just say that you can't rob wantonly, and you can't rob people's girls! Why is this self-defeating again? Liang Peijun said angrily.
"Ahem, this," Mo Li coughed and said, "Miss Liang, listen to me, what I just said can't be wantonly looted, right?" Of course, if you do what you say, robbing the good people is naturally against the way of heaven, but there will always be many illegal profiteers in this world, who will make a fortune in the country, and there are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is just and right for us to let them spit out some blood to help the poor people, right? ”
"Yes, what Master Mo said makes sense, we can fall into the grass in order to survive, but even if we are thieves, we must be thieves with principles and operations!" Cheng Qingzhu said: "As the ancient saying goes, there is also a way for cloud thieves, we can't oppress the good, but we can rob those corrupt officials and corrupt officials who are prey on the common people!" This can not only solve the problem of survival, but also eliminate harm for the people, why not! ”
Guan Feng, Du Geng and others also nodded in agreement, so they made such a happy decision, and in the future, the cottage will specialize in robbing corrupt officials and bullies to eliminate harm for the people.
This is a valley hidden deep in the middle of the steep peaks, on three sides are thousands of cliffs, forming a natural barrier, and on the other side is also strange rocks, steep and abnormal.
The valley is flat, and the four seasons are warm like spring, which is suitable for farming, and the bandits have planted some crops before, but not much, because since they found that the harvest of going out to plunder is much higher than that of cultivating in the field, the bandits are reluctant to farm.
There is also a stream of clear water meandering through the valley, which is a good place to retreat, and it can be said to be a rare paradise in this troubled era.
In the evening, after dinner, Mo Li was writing and painting in Huang Zhenlong's former room, and in the afternoon he took people to walk around the valley and found that there were many places suitable for farming, and the area was not small.
If he wants to recruit troops and buy horses, he must have grain, and where does the grain come from, no matter how much he robs and loots, he still has to rely on his own more cultivation to be more reliable, and he must use some advanced farming experience of later generations to increase grain production, among which the improvement of agricultural fertilizer and crop selection are also the key.
Mo Li comes from the countryside and has been dealing with the land since he was a child, so he naturally knows some new technologies in the countryside in later generations, as long as he is in place, it will not be a problem to build a modern large-scale farm to double the output. When there is food, are you afraid that you will not find someone to work with? In these years, as long as you give food, there are many people who work hard for you.
Mo Li was memorizing some materials, which were all needed to improve synthetic fertilizers and other things, and he planned to hand them over to his men tomorrow to procure the necessary items. Suddenly, he felt a figure walking in at the door, and at the same time with a faint fragrance, he hurriedly looked up, and this sight was so startled that he opened his mouth wide and almost bit his tongue.
I saw a girl in a pink Luo skirt Tingting walking in, her eyebrows were lightly swept, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, her pink face was slightly red, and her two small hands were pinching the corners of her clothes uneasily, but who was not Lin Guo?
"My goodness! Girl, how can you be so beautiful? Y-What's your name? Mo Li put down his pen and said in surprise.
"My lord, you, you are making fun of Guo'er again......" Lin Guo's face turned even redder, but his heart was beautiful.
She had just bathed, her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, and she was still a little wet, and her pink face was extremely sexy. Wearing a long pink dress, because she walked relatively fast, she brought a light breeze, and the angry twin peaks, and the slender waist of the willow, as well as the slender jade legs, were all perfectly outlined.
"Nope! Absolutely nothing...... What the? Are you a fruit? Wow! I didn't expect you to look so good in a girl's outfit! I don't even recognize you! Mo Li exclaimed sincerely, feeling a kind of liquid rushing through his nasal cavity.
"Really? Am I really good-looking, sir? ”
"Beautiful! It's so pretty! Even Sister Chang'e on the moon is not as good-looking as you! Here, turn around and let me see. Mo Li stood up as he said and walked over.
Lin Guo turned around shyly and said, "My lord, it's the first time Guo'er has worn such beautiful clothes!" This was all given to me by Sister Yun Han. ”
"Oh? Guo'er, why didn't you wear girls' clothes before? Mo Li asked curiously.
"My family has been poor since I was a child, my father and mother gave birth to my brother, and then gave birth to me, because I didn't have money to buy new clothes, so I always wore the old clothes that my brother worn, so I wore them until I was a teenager, and then the border area was not very peaceful, and my father was afraid that I would be robbed by strong people, so he simply kept letting me dress up as a boy." Lin Guo said, thinking of the tragic death of his family, his eyes were a little moist, and his shoulders twitched slightly.
I see. Mo Li walked in front of Lin Guo, gently hugged Lin Guo's shoulders, and said: "Guo'er, don't worry, your family's great revenge, I will definitely avenge you in the future, I will not let you be frightened in the future, and let you wear beautiful clothes every day and live happily!" ”
"Hmm." Lin Guo responded softly and lowered her head, she inexplicably felt a little flustered.
Mo Li looked at her smooth and jade-like face full of shy ruddy, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead.
Lin Guo's heart was like a deer, he couldn't help but be ashamed, and hurriedly buried his face in Mo Li's arms, but the whole person was hugged into his arms.
"Ah, my lord......" Lin Guo cried out in confusion, but Mo Li kissed his lips......
