Chapter 914 913 My Neighbor Collects Grain and I Store Guns, and My Neighbor Is My Granary.
Chapter 914 913. My neighbor collects grain and I collect guns, and my neighbor is my granary.
Mo Cheng and his Qilin tribe were stationed outside Baigu City for several months.
Of course, in order to train and not irritate Bai Gucheng, Mo Cheng deliberately moved the Qilin tribe's camp two hundred miles away, showing that he had no other thoughts about Bai Gucheng.
Regardless of whether Lord Bai Gu was on guard against him or not, Mo Cheng did not want to have a conflict at this time.
As for moving the camp farther away, it is not impossible, but in that case, the transportation of materials will be difficult.
The daily food supplies in his camp are all purchased from Baigu City. The Qilin Department's own food basically does not need to consider how many days it can last. Mo Cheng had already asked to eat freely in the first two days. It was all eaten up in time.
The Jueming Mountain Range seems to have always kept the Wuman tribes subordinate to it feeling hungry, but Mo Cheng has never understood its meaning.
He knew very well that for an existence with its own internal space like the Jueming Mountains, it would not be difficult to produce the same output as the outside world to feed the various witch barbarian tribes.
But Jueming Mountain Range didn't do that, which made Mo Cheng guess the reason.
The Jueming Mountains need the Wuman tribe to capture the territory for it, but they are stuck in an area that cannot be deprived of food. Even Mo Cheng knows that in a war, it is important that the three armies are not moved, and the food and grass go first.
The Jueming Mountain Range simply lacked food and grass, and even seemed to be cheating, which made Mo Cheng have other ideas.
"Could it be that the Jueming Mountains have kept the Wuman tribe hungry and refused to let them eat, not because they are unwilling but because they are unable?"
As my mind raced, countless speculations surged through my mind, but in the end these speculations lacked conclusive evidence.
At the same time, the Great Witch Festival also came to find him and reported a very troublesome matter to Mo Cheng.
That means there is no money.
"Run out of money, so soon?!"
After learning that he had no money, Mo Cheng was stunned for a moment. The interior of the Jueming Mountains was an absolutely barren place for people, and supplies were extremely scarce.
Therefore, after taking over the Qilin Department, he had to pay for all the food and supplies he needed.
Just to feed tens of thousands of people, even if Mo Cheng had the seizures from several wars, all the money combined would only be enough for the Qilin Department to consume for a month.
The land in Bai Gucheng is fertile, and the harvest every year results in the warehouse being full of grain every year. Every year, there is a large amount of three-year grain, and the old grain of the five-year grain needs to be disposed of, and the price is extremely cheap.
At the same time, City Master Bai Gu wanted to be on good terms with Mo Cheng, so he secretly offered a price so low that it was almost free.
But even so, without income, Mo Cheng can only support it for a while.
After learning the news, Mo Cheng immediately asked Tu Shancuo to be found, and then discussed what to do next with the three people from the Great Witch Festival.
"Let the clansmen find a place to plunder. In about three days, they can plunder enough food for a month."
The answer given by the Great Witch Festival is very characteristic of the witch barbarians. It belongs to my neighbor to store grain and I to store guns, and my neighbor is my granary.
"Then you're waiting to be beaten to death, and you're trying to rob a month's worth of food in three days. How many villages and towns are you going to massacre?" Mo Cheng complained mercilessly. Even if he wasn't good at managing power, he knew how to get away with it. This approach of using war to support war can easily lead to problems.
It's okay to bring undead creatures that don't need food, morale, or even rest.
To let the Qilin tribe follow the path of fighting to support war is simply to use a shit basin to slap on their own heads. The student Mo Cheng tried to civilize the barbarians, but was reversely civilized by the barbarians.
Once this kind of news spreads, Jixia Academy will directly expel him from the school.
Tu Shancuo glanced at the direction of Bai Gucheng and said, "How about asking the city lord for support?"
"Okay, the question is who will go?" Mo Cheng simply rolled his eyes, "The city lord has been very righteous enough by selling us food at a low price, why are you planning to ask him to pay for it?"
If Mo Cheng's purchase of grain from Bai Gucheng was just a commercial act, no one could blame him for it, but now that he has no money to ask the city for grain, the nature has changed.
This is equivalent to Bai Gucheng using food to feed the Qilin tribe. You must know that Bai Gucheng and Wu Man have a blood feud for a hundred years.
If word of this got out, it would be hard to say whether the city lord would be able to secure his position.
The three of them sat together and were all at a loss. With the soldiers from the Qilin tribe and the eight hundred soldiers recruited by Mo Cheng, it was very easy to get some money.
But it's a bit troublesome to get money to buy food reasonably instead of just robbing it.
"You said we go to Jingling Prefecture to help people fight the witch barbarians. Can we get food and money?"
Mo Cheng came up with another idea, taking the Qilin tribe to work as mercenaries, and then went to Jingling Prefecture to help people fight.
Regarding Jingling Prefecture, which was being invaded by Wuman, Mo Cheng guessed that many people would be willing to exchange money and food for the fighting power of protecting the city.
"Gentleman, this matter is difficult." Tushan shook his head and said, "The words spoken by the people in the Qilin Department are different from ours. It took me a month to teach some military commanders how to speak, and they often made mistakes. And jokes. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell the origin of Kirinbu at a glance. Even if the whole body is covered up and his face is not revealed, the secret will be revealed as soon as he opens his mouth."
"Jingling Prefecture is still being beaten by witch barbarians. Do you think anyone dares to let us enter the city?"
Suggestions were put forward one after another, and then rejected one by one. In the end, Mo Cheng even had the idea of taking the Qilin Department to find a place to rob.
Just when the three of them were thinking about taking the people to a distant place and [collecting them on the spot] while they still had enough food on hand to last for three to five days.
A soldier came to report that a large convoy was heading here.
Mo Cheng followed and saw that it was a team that stretched for several miles, slowly approaching the camp with carts and oxen.
The convoy carried a large amount of supplies, whether it was urgently needed food or weapons and armor, all were delivered to the Qilin tribe's territory, and people in the convoy bluntly said that this was a gift for the talented Qilin men.
After putting everything down, the person who looked like a steward in the motorcade handed over an invitation letter with both hands, leaving only one sentence: "We are looking forward to your visit." After that, he turned around and left.
Invitation, who could it be?
Mo Cheng opened the invitation and saw the name of the person who signed it: Yueyao.
In this month, Mo Cheng didn't see much of Yue Yao. He only knew that she was gathering the subordinates who were scattered in Jinling Prefecture in Baigu City. He didn't know how many subordinates she had recovered.
The letter stated that this was a small gift in return for Dang Yangpo's rescue that day, and at the same time invited Mo Cheng to get together at Zuixian Tower.
Zuixianlou is the largest and most expensive restaurant in Baigu City.
"Gentleman, are you attracted by Chief Yue?"
"Get out!"
Tu Shancui pushed aside angrily, "I helped her in Dangyangpo, this is a gift in return. Put the things away, and hurry up to train the Qilin Department. If my guess is correct, we will soon There’s work to be done.”
