Chapter 427 Su Yue's Revenge
Mr. Su sighed and repeated to Mrs. Su what the old marquis had said to him.
"Remember, don't piss off the old man. If he kicks us out of the Su family, we'll really have no way to survive, and our future tomorrow will be ruined."
Mr. Su warned Mrs. Su in a serious manner, fearing that she would do something impulsive because of Su Xue's matter.
Madam Su suppressed her anger and could only force herself to nod: "I understand, Master, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. Xue'er is gone, but we still have Ming'er."
Madam Su Er knew the old marquis's temperament very well. He seemed to be a calm and easygoing person in normal times, but he was very decisive when faced with major events. Otherwise, when the entire Su family was exiled last time, it would not have been just exile, but they would have been beheaded.
It was thanks to the old marquis's advance arrangements that he turned the tide at the critical moment, saving the entire Su family.
Now that the old marquis has warned them, they must not act impulsively, and must not let Xue'er affect their son.
Her daughter was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and she felt sorry for her, but she had chosen her own path, and now that it was done, they didn't have the ability to get her out.
Their son is their ultimate support, so let it be. We can only pray that they can hold on until Murong Li succeeds to the throne.
"That's right, Madam, have a good rest. I still have some things to take care of."
Seeing that Madam Su had calmed down, Mr. Su decided not to accompany her. He had to resign from his official position in the afternoon and had some things to sort out.
After all, I have been working in the Ministry of Revenue for some time, and some things cannot be left to others for their own good.
"Then Master, go and do your work. I have nothing to do."
"Um."
Mr. Su Erye still hugged her and then left Xuemei Courtyard.
In the afternoon, Mr. Su quickly resigned from his post, and by the time the emperor realized what was happening, he had already resigned.
The emperor wanted to punish him severely, but there was no point in punishing him now. He knew it was the old marquis's work. Since that was the case, forget it.
From now on, Mr. Su wants to pursue a career in politics, but he is afraid that after he dies, it will be left to the fourth brother.
At Qingniu Pass, Su Yue and the others still didn't know what was happening in the capital, and they hadn't received the letter sent by An Yi.
More than half a month has passed, the snow has melted, and spring is about to come.
The soldiers’ camp has been built and they finally live in houses that are warm in winter and cool in summer.
Since the situation at the border improved, the welfare of soldiers has improved, and many people have come to apply for the military. In just half a month, the number of soldiers at the border has reached 100,000.
They were all children of farmers who were struggling to make ends meet in the surrounding area, and there were also quite a few beggars.
Murong Li simply took in all the orphans and beggars from the surrounding cities, regardless of gender, age or status, and placed them in Qingniu Pass.
The young men joined the army, and the old and young women, those who were able to work, helped to reclaim wasteland, or cooked and washed clothes for the soldiers.
Women who are good at needlework make clothes specifically for the soldiers, and they also do some sewing and mending work on a daily basis.
The reinforcement of the city wall is also in progress, but this project cannot be completed in a day or two, and it will take at least a year.
Murong Li destroyed all the original city walls by simply dismantling and rebuilding them. The materials used were all rocks, which were very hard. In the past, people at the border could not mine the good materials, but now with the tools in Su Yue's space, there is no stone that cannot be mined.
Currently, a city wall about one or two zhang high has been built.
Looking at the sturdy city wall, General Wu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Such a city wall could only be destroyed by ten top masters like Murong Li.
But there are not enough masters like that in Xifeng Country, not to mention the masters in the four countries combined, there are not even ten.
Therefore, this city wall can be said to be indestructible, and there is no need to worry about other countries attacking Qingniu Pass.
The vacant land in front of the city gate has now been fully mined, covering an area of more than a thousand acres, with both fields and land. The places with water are made into fields, and the places without water are used as land.
Now that the snow has melted, Su Yue will prepare to transplant some sweet potato vines as soon as spring arrives.
Sweet potatoes have high yields and short growth cycles, and can quickly supply food to soldiers at the border.
Some of them planted wheat. Although it was too early to plant wheat, Su Yue believed that the seeds had been soaked in spiritual spring water and the season would not be too selective.
Su Yue plans to plant rice in the fields and raise fish at the same time, as there are plenty of fish fry in the space.
It can be said that everything is proceeding in an orderly manner at Qingniu Pass.
In the Dongfeng Kingdom's palace, the Dongfeng Emperor was in a great headache at this time. He originally thought that exposing the fact that Murong Li raised corpse soldiers would definitely cause chaos in the world. However, there was no chaos at all. It was like a fart, which smelled bad at the time and then disappeared.
It made him so angry that he almost died.
What’s even more infuriating is that his 40,000 to 50,000 war horses just disappeared out of thin air, just like the treasures stolen in the capital, and no trace of them has been found so far.
Emperor Dong Feng was almost going crazy. Murong Li still owed him one million taels of gold, and he had to collect the money and give it to him no matter what.
After half a month of recuperation, the prince's injuries have greatly improved and he can attend court. Now, he is collecting gold from everywhere.
However, when he was collecting gold, he discovered a terrifying problem. That is, a foreign force had entered the Dongfeng Kingdom and occupied a large market. A large part of the funds had been seduced by that force. He wanted to withdraw the gold, but he couldn't do it at all.
He had a terrible headache and immediately returned to the palace to report to Emperor Dong Feng. After hearing what he had heard, Emperor Dong Feng was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died on the spot.
"Investigate, find out for me where this force came from. They must be driven out of Dongfeng Country."
"Yes, Father, I will do it immediately."
The prince gritted his teeth and accepted the task. Even if the emperor did not allow him to investigate, he would investigate it himself. If this force undermined the Dongfeng Kingdom, would it still be his Dongfeng Kingdom when he inherited it in the future?
This force naturally belongs to Su Yue. How could she just sit back and do nothing when Emperor Dongfeng dared to stab Murong Li in the back?
So she and Murong Li discussed a plan to use the materials obtained from Dongfeng Kingdom to build Dongfeng Kingdom into their business empire.
She wanted to take control of the economic lifeline of Dongfeng Country into her own hands, so that Dongfeng Country would no longer belong to the Qin family, but to the two of them.
Thus, in just over half a month, their people, their food, their cement, their coal, their banks... quietly emerged in the Dongfeng Kingdom like bamboo shoots after an upheaval.
These new products that were in urgent need of the people were welcomed by the people of Dongfeng Country as soon as they entered the country. They quickly occupied the market and seized more than half of the old market in Dongfeng Country.
Therefore, even if the prince found out that they were responsible, their industry had already been firmly rooted in Dongfeng Kingdom and they could not be withdrawn.
If we withdraw from Dongfeng Country, Dongfeng Country’s economy will be paralyzed and Dongfeng Country will be destroyed.
