Mo Yan planted a large number of potatoes, cotton, watermelons, and other crops, using seeds brought from other countries. Of course, Mo Yan also added some herself, and the results will be seen soon.
Mo Yan said that training troops alone is not enough; they also need to be self-sufficient.
In order to make them accept it, Mo Yan beat them into submission one by one, and then had Mo's father give the order.
As for what the outcome will be in a few months, they are looking forward to it, but also a little apprehensive.
They were a little worried, but more than that, they hoped to succeed.
Mo Yan went to the military camp, and on her way back, she encountered bandits.
Yes, this bandit is robbing passersby.
"This mountain is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass through, leave your toll."
Mo Yan was speechless. She asked the person next to her, "When did bandits appear in this area? I remember this hill being a barren mountain."
“Young Miss, that’s true. This mountain has always been a barren mountain. It’s just that you’re holding a martial arts contest to find a husband recently, and many people have come here because of your reputation. The bandits probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rob us.”
And they must have arrived today, since they've been patrolling the whole time.
"In other words, they started doing business as soon as they arrived."
They couldn't respond to that.
"Let's go take a look."
Those past injuries were so painful. I heard this place is very safe, so how come there are still bandits?
Is it too late for them to run away now?
I heard that the young ladies here are holding a martial arts contest to find husbands, and many people come here because of it. They think they can take advantage of this opportunity to do business here and earn some hard-earned money.
Most of them were merchants, but it's hard to say whether these bandits were lucky or unlucky today. Two of them were rich, and the other was a new county magistrate.
They came here, one to take up a new post, and the other to explore business opportunities with a friend. Unexpectedly, they encountered bandits upon arrival.
"Gentlemen...we just want to go to Yuncheng to broaden our horizons, would you be so kind as to do us a favor?"
Some of them went up and negotiated with them.
"That won't do. It's taken us many years to clear this mountain. You have to pay us a toll."
If you don't give it to me, then you'll have to save your lives.
Upon hearing this, they realized there was no way to negotiate; they had no choice but to resort to violence.
They looked around the place; it was surrounded by mountains, and now that it was dark, it was indeed a perfect place for murder and robbery.
"You claim to have built this mountain, but we don't know anything about it. Why don't you prove it to me?"
When the bandits heard Mo Yan's voice, they looked over and saw that it was a girl with several women. Instantly, they were no longer afraid of anything.
"Girl, it's the middle of the night, aren't you afraid something might happen to you while you're walking on the road?"
Actually, we're all just trying to make a living, so we won't make things difficult for you. It's twenty taels per person. As long as you take out the silver, you can leave.
How is it?
When they said this, they acted as if they were doing it for everyone's good.
Those people got angry at this. "Don't go too far. There are only a dozen or so of you, but we have quite a few of us."
We all looked at each other, ready to fight them to the death. We're all just trying to make a living. If they had offered a lower price, that would have been fine, but they insisted on such a high price. How can we tolerate that?
"No, it has to be twenty taels. Don't forget, we have weapons, you don't."
"You old folks and young children, how are you going to fight us? Don't waste your time."
They weren't afraid at all. Although there seemed to be a lot of them, they were all ordinary people who couldn't even kill a chicken.
Mo Yan had already arrived in front of them. "You haven't answered my question yet. When did you get here?"
Don't you know that if you rob someone on this official road, you'll be in big trouble if you get caught?
"You've opened this mountain; you have to take responsibility for that statement."
It wouldn't matter if you planted this tree, it would be the same.
At this point, the bandits had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation, nor did they understand what the sentence meant.
"Young lady, don't talk big. You either obediently hand over the money, or you stay here with them. We bandits aren't very friendly to young ladies like you."
Of course, it would be great if he didn't shake when he played this very flashy game.
The others were starting to panic. They were newcomers, and this wasn't a good idea, was it?
Actually, they came from another place. After arriving here, a dozen or so people gathered together. They were so hungry that they wanted to grab some food.
There just happened to be a mountain here, and they happened to run into these people. But they didn't expect these people to be so slow and indecisive, and they weren't very eager to give them money.
Now there are more and more people, and if more people come later, they won't be able to fight them.
"Brother...why don't we let them go?"
What if they wait a little longer and encounter someone who is alone?
"No, that won't do. Today is our first day doing business, we can't let them leave."
They have to pay money.
Actually, that guy was also a little hesitant.
Why are these people so hard to fool?
"Are you sure you want my money? Then I'll give it to you."
Others: "???"
bandit:"?!!"
Even the bandits were somewhat incredulous.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and give it to us. As soon as you give it to us, we'll let you leave immediately."
