After the court meeting was dispersed, Mo Di left Zhang Dongyuan and took him to the warm pavilion of the Hande Hall of the harem to drink tea. Although it is known as a harem, the furnishings in the warm pavilion are simple, only tables, chairs, wooden couches and a few inferior vases transported from the big merchants, and there is not even an incense burner, which is far less warm and comfortable than the harem of the big merchants.

In fact, Mo Di is still not used to living in these tall palaces, but Zhang Dongyuan said before that sooner or later, the people of Daxia will have to get used to living in tall houses, especially Shan Yu, one day they will learn to be the emperor, so Mo Di let himself try his best to adapt to these things that he is not used to, he is looking forward to one day entering Yong'an, sitting on the golden dragon chair, and sleeping all over the beauties in the harem.

Mo Di and Zhang Dongyuan were both sitting on chairs, and a maid came up to respectfully offer milk tea to the two, and quietly retreated after giving them a salute. Zhang Dongyuan looked at the dress and skin color on this woman's body, and knew that this was a slave taken from the Great Shang, and it was no wonder that there were at least hundreds of thousands of Great Shang slaves robbed by the Great Xia Kingdom, and most of them were female slaves.

Mo Di was just about to speak, a white-skinned and beautiful woman walked into the warm pavilion from the outside with her slender waist twisted, and no one sat on Mo Di's lap, gently stroking Mo Di's bearded face, Mo Di laughed, stretched out her hand and pinched her delicate face. This woman is nearly forty years old, but she still looks like she has just passed the age of twenty, her name is Yu Shilan, and she is the mother of Yi Yingjie of Bao Chan Zong.

Mo Di smiled obscenely, "Beauty, why are you here? I just heard at the court meeting that Yelu Chunlei died." In the past, Yelu Chunlei was an old thing who often bargained with me, but now that he is dead, it just so happens that we can help Yingjie to the throne, and in the future, the Bao Toad Sect will be completely under our control! Completely controlling one of the seven major sects is also a good thing for us!"

Yu Shilan looked at Brother Mo with a resentful expression, and said coquettishly: "Da Shan Yu, look at you, you have just come back from the court, and when you see me, what are you going to do to discuss those military affairs? I am a woman, how can I understand those? This Great Xia Kingdom is all in your pocket, not to mention one sect, it is all the sects, if you don't let them live, can they still live? Yingjie is originally like your child, if you want him to be the sect master, then let him do a good job, he will listen to you anyway!" My whole person is Da Danyu, our mother and son are, Da Dan Yu can do whatever he wants!"

Mo Di's bones were crispy, he kissed Yu Shilan's face, and laughed: "My little beauty, you are so good! Okay, I will let someone announce Yingjie as the new master of the Bao Toad Sect later, let him completely take over the affairs of the Bao Toad Sect, I will give him as many soldiers and horses he needs, and in the Bao Toad Sect, if you dare to disobey, kill all of them!"

Zhang Dongyuan drank milk tea quietly, as if he hadn't seen the things in front of him at all. Yu Shilan and Mo Di made love for a while, before they were reluctant to leave, when they left, they were coquettish and stupid, and asked Mo Di to go to her at night, Mo Di smiled and agreed, "Beauty, I will definitely go, you can rest assured!"

After Yu Shilan left, Mo Di returned to his normal expression, and asked with a smile: "Zhang Dongyuan, before you suggested that I lead people to constantly attack the big merchants, rob them of their population, property, grain, salt and iron, and make those people in the big merchant country tired of coping, you can also see that many of the maids in my palace are slaves who have been robbed back from the big merchants, and this is all the benefits of robbing the big merchants." I know you've read a lot of books and you're very insightful, but I don't understand why you're changing our long-standing national policy. ”

Zhang Dongyuan saw that Mo Di talked about serious topics directly, and said with a smile: "Da Shan Yu, do you plan to only care about the present moment, or do you plan to take care of Baishi? If you only care about it for a while, you can just lead the troops to the border of Dashang every year to rob and capture it, if you want to take the long run, want to enter the Central Plains, or even want to build a hundred worlds, then."

Well, it's hard to do that by being nomadic alone. The big merchants have no power to fight back now, because their monarchs and ministers have two hearts, the vassal king wants not to be a minister, and even the eunuchs are tossing, internal and external troubles, and we have a chance!"

Mo Di nodded, agreeing with Zhang Dongyuan's opinion. Zhang Dongyuan said again: "But if one day, the political situation of the big merchants stabilizes and there is spare strength to train elite soldiers and strong generals, will we still be so easy to rob them as we are today? They have a population of 40 million, and we in Great Xia, even counting the hundreds of thousands of slaves we robbed, but only 3 million people, not even one-tenth of the big merchants, if the big merchants are willing to give up a million people, fight a big battle with us, and fight out our millions or even more, can we afford to lose?"

Mo Di was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Zhang Dongyuan wrapped his mink fur, "We can still take advantage of their civil strife and rob while they are in the fire, but one day, the national strength of the Great Merchants is restored, what should we do at that time? So the slave said that in the future, we will exchange markets with them, and exchange cattle, horses and sheep for what we need." We also need to build more cities and start to shift to farming, at least semi-nomadic and semi-farming, until we can be self-sufficient in food and can attack and defend militarily, and then we will have the strength to attack the great merchants. ”

Zhang Dongyuan said with a smile: "It's an attack rather than a plunder! Capture the big merchants, let the big merchants manage those cities and manage that country for us, the big merchants have too many talents to use, but the emperor of the big merchants will not use them." We don't need to do everything ourselves, Da Danyu, do you understand what I mean?"

Mo Di nodded, silent in thought. Zhang Dongyuan took a sip of milk tea and asked in a low voice that only two people could hear: "Da Shan Yu, what do you think of this woman Yu Shilan?"

Mo Di smiled, "This woman looks like a heavenly immortal, and she is very tasteful, I like it very much!"

Zhang Dongyuan said in a low voice: "Then don't you want to become the master of the Great Shang? In the Central Plains of the Great Shang, there are many women who are more beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and younger than her! In the Central Plains of the Great Shang, there are gold and jewelry, beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, customs and customs, and more delicacies, aren't these all things that you dream of? You are not familiar with these things, how can you manage them?"

Mo Di's eyes lit up, and then he smiled: "Zhang Dongyuan, I haven't understood it all the time, it stands to reason that since you used to be a member of the Great Shang Kingdom, there is no reason to hate it so much!"

Zhang Dongyuan stood up, put his left hand on his chest, bowed down and said: "I, Zhang Dongyuan, am a big businessman, but my life in Dashang is worse than death, even worse than a dog! I once swore that one day I must kill those who hurt me with my own hands, I fled all the way from Dashang to Daxia, it was you Da Shan Yu who gave me all this today, I have glory and status, I can live like a human being, you obey my words and take me as a confidant, how can I not repay you Da Shan Yu? There is a saying in Dashang, it is called the death of a confidant, that is what I Zhang Dongyuan wants to say to Da Shan Yu!"

Mo Di laughed, spread his hands on his thighs, raised his head to look at the caisson in the warm pavilion, and said loudly: "To be able to get a strategist like you Zhang Dongyuan is the gift of the Holy Spirit to me, the gift to Great Xia, thank the Holy Spirit!"

Mo Di smiled again and asked, "Zhang Dongyuan, tell me, since we are not ready to start a war with the Great Shang Imperial Court in the short term, what are we going to do next?"

Zhang Dongyuan sat back in his chair and smiled slightly, "Da Dan Yu, we have to start a war with Dashang, and we must fight until Dashang is in pain, and fight until they are willing to take the initiative to sue for peace!"

Mo Di was stunned, "Zhang Dongyuan, at the court meeting just now, it was you who said in public not to start a war with Dashang!"

Zhang Dongyuan couldn't stop laughing,

"Da Danyu, what can we do if we don't say this at the court meeting? Can the people who stay at the court meeting be completely trusted? The soldiers are not tired of deceit! We can't leak the news. We will frantically attack the big merchants, plunder as much of their property, food and population as possible, and after they are scared, then force them to make peace, and then exchange markets with them. While our side is attacking, we are building cities and learning farming, especially since we have captured hundreds of thousands of big merchants as slaves, and these slaves are the best teachers!"

Mo Di hesitated for a moment and asked: "Zhang Dongyuan, you also know that some people are just forced by my might, but in fact, they don't really surrender to me in their hearts, just like those who quit today, what method can I use to clean them up without affecting my strength?"

Zhang Dongyuan took a sip of the milk tea that had cooled down a little, and said with a faint smile: "This is very simple! We are going to start a war against the big merchants in a few days, looting resources, just let these people rush to the front as thugs, on the one hand, starting a war with the big merchants, it will lose their strength, of course, it will also lose the strength of the big merchants, and our two enemies will be damaged, isn't it a great benefit to us?"

Brother Mo nodded, and shouted outside the warm pavilion: "Change a bowl of milk tea for Zhang Dongyuan, this bowl is already cold!" A maid outside agreed, and walked in to change a bowl of hot milk tea for Zhang Dongyuan. Although Mo Di has a rough appearance, he is thick and fine, which is already rare in Daxia, where the people are fierce. If it wasn't for Mo Di, it is unknown which ditch Zhang Dongyuan would have died in on the side of the road.

Zhang Dongyuan held the hot milk tea and said excitedly: "Da Shan Yu, I suggest that you directly call the emperor, call it the Northern Emperor, take the Northern Wolf City as the capital, and fight against the emperor of the Great Shang, follow the model of the Central Plains, set up an official military town, treat those slaves well, and let those slaves be willing to be used by my Great Xia, and use them as merchants." Just like hunting, you don't have to rush up and bite your prey yourself, you just need to train your hound!"

Zhang Dongyuan took a sip of hot milk tea, and said with an intoxicated face: "On the basis of preserving the Great Xia culture, we will try to plot the Central Plains, conquer the world, and let the people of the Great Shang Kingdom help you govern the world, and in the future, our nation on horseback will also build a powerful country, with the combat power of my Great Xia warriors, it is only a matter of time before we dominate the world!"

Mo Di stood up, walked over and patted Zhang Dongyuan on the shoulder, "Okay, I believe in my own vision, and I believe in your Zhang Dongyuan's vision even more! If it weren't for your suggestion back then, it would have been difficult for me to make up my mind to compete with a few brothers for the position of Shan Yu, and even more difficult to make up my mind to kill my father who no longer trusts me! You are very right, Ci is not in charge of the army, and those who become great things do not care about their families! Before, I was too soft-hearted to be bullied!"

Zhang Dongyuan stood up again, put his hands on his chest, bowed and said, "The servant suggested that Da Shan Yu repair another letter of state to Emperor Dashang, and force him to recognize your status as emperor, and the status of Emperor Daxia is as noble as him." There is a saying in Dashang that if the name is not right, the word will not be good, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be accomplished! If he does not agree, it will be an excellent excuse for us to go to war against him. Of course, if he agrees, we will find another excuse to go to war, and as for the few vassal kings of the Great Shang who are ready to move, they can also be used by us in the future, at least to contain their court!"

Mo Di clapped his hands, "Okay, Zhang Dongyuan, this Shan Yu will do as you say! I hope that after some hard work, we can settle the Central Plains as soon as possible!"

Zhang Dongyuan bowed down again, "Da Dan Yu Yingming!

Mo Di laughed, "Come on, put mare's milk wine! This order is going to get drunk with Zhang Dongyuan today!"

Zhang Dongyuan, who had his hands on his sleeves, was very emotional, the courtesy of the lord of Great Xia to him far exceeded that of his hometown Dashang, and what Dashang left him was only sad about the past and the fame that was forcibly taken away by others.
