She was somewhat curious as to why no one had been brought to cultivate this fertile wasteland before, but now they were planting crops here.
It's unlikely that getting these refugees to cultivate the land was just a sudden idea of theirs.
They must have discovered long ago that the soil here is more suitable for planting.
Upon arriving in the city, when Liu Moyang escorted them back to their residence, he voiced his doubts and said, "If it is inconvenient for Commander Liu to answer, you do not have to."
Liu Moyang smiled and said, "It's normal for Madam to be curious, and it's not a secret. Madam has seen it too, right? The border town is very vast and borders four countries: Kanjin, Chiyan, Mengzhou, and Yaoxing. If it weren't for the fact that the General and his family have been guarding it for three generations, this place wouldn't be so peaceful."
Shulan nodded: "Yes, they are the bravest."
The He family's army is indeed invincible. It is only because the current emperor trusts the He family that the He family is able to survive here.
Seeing that she agreed, Liu Moyang was also very happy and began to explain why they were willing to stay here and why the people were willing to stay here.
Shulan then understood that the city gate was built here because the terrain and geographical location were the most suitable. Apart from Chiyan, who could launch a sneak attack from the mountains, the other three kingdoms had to pass through here.
But the mountain may look peaceful; that's because they haven't gone too far inside.
Not only is it more dangerous the deeper you go, but there is also a mysterious tribe there, the people of the gods. They do not allow anyone to set foot in their territory, so Chi Yan will not come from here unless absolutely necessary.
"As for the common people, there used to be people living there, but there were too many poisonous snakes and wild beasts, and the weather got colder and colder earlier than here, with stronger winds and snow, making it difficult to survive in winter."
Now, even though there aren't as many venomous snakes and wild animals, they've gotten used to living here and don't want to go back.
The He family had always wanted to develop that area, but the people were unwilling to suffer until they were starving.
There were too few people among those exiled from the imperial court; sending them there would only result in sending them to their deaths.
That area is too big, there are too few people, and sending soldiers over is even more impractical.
Now that so many refugees have suddenly arrived, He Fengmian naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. He wanted to keep these refugees here so that the border town could grow stronger and stronger.
“That’s true.” When Shulan learned that although the area was currently peaceful and idyllic, it might experience heavy snowfall in mid-to-late October, she knew that the area was indeed unsuitable for habitation.
Liu Moyang escorted them back to the manor and then returned to his camp. The people who had borrowed grain would be back soon, and he heard that they would be bringing a lot of refugees with them. He also had many things to arrange.
The people in the manor were very happy to see them return, and they looked at the herbs.
When he learned that the young mistress wanted to open a clinic and a restaurant, Uncle Rong was very happy: "Great! Chen Ma's cooking skills are indeed excellent, and with the young mistress's medical skills, our Guan area is truly blessed."
This time, Shulan smiled confidently: "I will definitely learn what I've learned and use it to save lives and benefit the people."
The Shu family has been practicing medicine for generations, and healing and saving lives is ingrained in their DNA.
It would be nice to be able to shine in another time and space.
