C379 The Root of the Country
Actually this thing.
The officials were in the right.
The casino had its rules.
Even if it was a scam, it was still on the table.
Borrowing money was entirely voluntary.
If he didn't return it, then that was right.
It was only right and proper for him to pay back his debts.
It wasn't a problem to deduct servants.
However, it was also wrong to not inform the family and chop off the other party's arm. It was a little too radical.
However, Li Er actually carried a knife to save people on the streets in Beijing. This was clearly against the rules.
After all, Third Brother had not ascended the throne yet. Where did his courage come from?
He would not blame anyone even if he was killed.
And then, it was the Third Prince's fault.
He actually ignored it!
He wanted to delay it.
There were some things that were getting more and more troublesome the longer he dragged it out.
If he dragged it out, there would be a dispute.
Nothing was more important than a swift and decisive strike.
Of course, there were always pros and cons to dealing with it too quickly.
Maybe he did the right thing, or maybe he did the wrong thing.
Maybe he didn't do anything right.
He could only weigh which side had more advantages, which side had more disadvantages.
As for those in power, those in power would need to make such a judgment!
However, the Third Prince did not do it.
As a result, there were now two factions.
As for these palace maids and concubines, they were most likely related to the old officials' system, so they naturally had to speak to their own family.
They described Old Man Ma as a great bastard who committed all kinds of crimes.
This was very normal.
Of course, Xiao Yun wouldn't believe it.
If Xiao Yun was a fellow who listened to the words of an entire family, he would have died a long time ago!
But in a sense, this could be considered as him asking for it.
No wonder others.
Xiao Yun had waited for the king to arrive.
Then he smiled at him.
This smile made the king relax.
Xiao Yun said, "It's unavoidable for children to fight. We have to get used to it. They do not understand the power of the current great change in the world, which is why they only care about what is in front of them. If the situation really starts to change, they will be able to understand all kinds of values from it. Then... Things will be much easier to handle. They won't have the time to fight for anything else."
His words caused the king to be somewhat suspicious.
Of course, he was also somewhat unable to believe it.
After all, with the current situation being so fierce, could it really be that he could treat it without medication? It seemed unlikely.
Just as the king was in a terrible state of anxiety over the matters of the imperial court, and because of Xiao Yun's instructions, the merchant group returned.
This merchant group formed by the country's army directly came along the official road.
There was not the slightest pause in the middle of the journey.
They directly entered Mo City.
The gate of Mo City opened.
First was a group of soldiers.
Their swords were not sheathed, their spears were not sheathed, and their arrows were also placed on their bows and arrows.
They maintained an offensive posture at all times.
This was how they walked all the way here.
Anyone who tried to get close, after two warnings, if they still got close, immediately let go of them to kill!
This was what they had to do.
Because they knew that the thing they pulled back was too important.
There were always some things in this world that needed human lives to defend.
That was it.
After a group of people entered, the surrounding people looked around.
They were all very curious.
Based on what they knew, there was no need for an army.
There was no war.
What were these armies doing?
Why were they so nervous?
Could it be... they want to rebel? !
Thus, everyone became worried again, afraid that the chaos of war would affect them.
Then, a carriage entered.
It was covered with black cloth.
The goods on the carriage were so tall that the shaft of the carriage was creaking. The horses pulling the carriage were obviously tired, and every step they took seemed to be a struggle.
What was inside the carriage?
Everyone was similarly curious.
It must be something important.
Then there was the third, the fourth, and finally the tenth!
It still hadn't stopped.
There was more?
At this moment, a strong wind blew.
It rolled up the black cloth of a carriage.
Whoosh.
The black cloth was lifted.
The watchman quickly pressed down the black cloth and looked around vigilantly.
Although his movements were very fast.
But the surrounding people still saw what was inside clearly.
It was a rice bag!
It was specially used to store rice, and used a type of vine to smash it into threads. In the end, apart from rice, it would not store anything else.
The civilians were stunned.
So many meters?
Could it be that these ten carriages were all rice?!
This number was somewhat frightening.
This amount of rice was enough for the entire city to eat for a period of time.
In the end...
Things were not over yet.
Huge carriages, one after another.
From the city gate.
All the way to the Imperial Palace.
The entire road was filled with carriages!
Furthermore, there were clearly some carriages that wanted to enter!
This caused the citizens to be stunned.
The current numbers were likely to be able to catch up to the harvest of the entire Molan Country in half a year, right? Where did this food come from?
Isn't it too much?
Ordinary people naturally cared about this.
But some smart merchants, or people who have seen the market.
At this moment, they were calculating another matter.
How many carriages... were there?!
A few hundred?
A thousand? !
There were at least a few thousand horses pulling the carts!
Then... But... Ma!
Even if all the horses in the Molan Country were added up, there wouldn't be so many horses.
The largest cavalry in the Molan Country only had 300 horses, which meant that there were only 600 horses.
Among the people, this carriage was even more expensive. Usually, a village could only have one or two horses. They were in charge of the goods and were the assets of the village's ancestral hall. When it was time to be busy with farming, everyone queued up to use it.
Therefore, the value of the horse was very high!
Compared to the world Xiao Yun had lived in in in his previous life, a horse was equivalent to a car, and it was also a sports car! It was an existence with a starting price of seven to eight hundred thousand per horse!
This thing was originally very rare.
There weren't many in Qin Country.
To be able to gather twenty thousand cavalry was already quite a difficult thing.
They really couldn't catch up to the colossus of Sun Moon Country. Any one of them had ten thousand men chasing after them, and there were four thousand of them.
If this was placed in other countries, they would only be able to covet it. There was no other way.
But now, such a huge army had appeared in Molan Country. This... This was a little strange and strange.
And whose carriages were these?
Who could have such a large sum of money? !
A large car could live a good life in a village.
Twenty carriages could rule a town.
A hundred large carriages, no matter which city it was in, would be an absolute fortune!
Who... was this vast land in front of them?!
When the leading team arrived at the main entrance of the palace, the entire team stopped.
They did not move at all.
Everyone looked around vigilantly, just like their own citizens, they weren't safe at all.
King of Molan received the news.
He quickly went to find Xiao Yun.
Both of them walked out at the same time.
They opened the front door and personally welcomed these people who risked their lives to buy things in a foreign country.
This kind of thing, was very dangerous!
A group of fellows without any foundation walked in this world with so many gold notes.
That was equivalent to a three-year-old carrying gold bricks and walking in the middle of a busy city!
The danger within was obvious.
They avoided the danger and held back the greed in their hearts, being able to bring things back here...
Besides those who were intercepted and killed on the way back, all of them had returned.
This caused Xiao Yun's scalp to feel numb and his heart to palpitate.
This was... How rare and precious was this?
They could totally split the gold bills and run away.
At that time, the sea would be wide and the fish would be able to jump. The sky would be high and the birds would be able to fly.
Molan Country didn't have the energy to chase after them.
They knew this as well.
Xiao Yun even felt that if he was in that position, he wouldn't have seen much money in his life. He had risked his life, but in the end, he couldn't even guarantee the food and clothing of his family.
He would really hesitate to take a risk and betray his family.
But they did not.
Some people were even intercepted halfway and could risk their lives to give away the money.
The 17 teams went to 17 different directions to exchange for money and buy things.
Only nine teams returned.
The remaining eight teams all died on the way back!
It could be said to be tragic!
Such a thing.
Actually, it could be completely avoided.
Although it couldn't be said that it was Xiao Yun's intention.
However, he could have expected it, but he did not stop it, nor could he think of a better solution.
The main reason was that he wanted to see the extent of Molan Country's bearing.1
When he was in the Qin Country, he had asked the women under Old Man Ma.
The women who had worked hard to sell themselves, sold everything they had, sold their youth, and even their future.
He asked them, if they did this, most of the money they earned would have been taken away by Old Man Ma. Would they feel that it was a loss?
And their answer.
However, Xiao Yun was moved.
They said it very straightforwardly, and it also seemed simple and honest.
"As long as I think of that money, it can save lives in my hometown! I will be happy."
Sell my body for the country?
Xiao Yun was unable to tell whether they were good or bad.
The bad women that these people talked about were all women who wished they could take away all the money in men's pockets.
That was the reason why Xiao Yun was here!
And now, these iron-like men opened their eyes wide, and with regret written all over their faces, they told the king that they had let down the king's trust, and that they had lost a lot of gold coins.
However, they did not say how many people they had lost. Life!
