Because of the large number of eggs, Mo Shu put the matter of opening a cake shop on the agenda.Before Wu Ziheng's birthday and the Jin State Mansion sent cakes to the familiar families, quite in advance, the delicacy of this cake has already spread in Chang'an, and spread to Zhongzhou Lingbei and other places where Moshu developed chicken raising.Everyone knows that the reason why Mo Shu raises chickens on such a large scale is to make cakes.Now I heard that the first batch of chickens raised by Mo Shu here in Yuhu Villa have laid eggs, and Mo Shu has also begun to open a store, and everyone is looking forward to it, waiting to buy cakes from the store.Originally, Mo Shu was still thinking about handing out flyers or something, but now that she looks at this situation, there is no need for this at all.Mo Shu asked people to carefully select a shop in Chang'an, and checked the specially trained cake chef and clerk, and found that everything was better than planned, and put forward some business ideas, so he handed over the matter to the steward.This made everyone in Yuhu Villa feel a little strange.Because in the eyes of everyone, Mo Shu took so much trouble raising chickens, nothing more than to get more eggs to make cakes, she was so concerned about raising chickens before, and the rest of the things were put behind by her, and many things were done by herself, it stands to reason that now that the chickens have finally laid eggs and can open a cake shop, Mo Shu should be more concerned.But looking at it now, it's not like that at all.Wu Ziheng naturally noticed this, and affirmed his guess that Moshu raising chickens was not just for cakes.Mo Shu didn't know that Wu Ziheng was already suspicious, and after handing over the cake shop to the Mo family's cronies and stewards, he still plunged into the newspaper and accounts.It didn't take long for the cake shop to open, because Mo Shu used the cake as a gift to celebrate Wu Ziheng's birthday, and some people followed suit and bought cakes for his birthday.Mo Shu is naturally happy to see this, if this can become a habit of Daliang people, it would be great.These days, the cake shop is full of people coming and going, and it is also busy with a few cake makers and clerks.Because of the approaching New Year, Chang'an City is lively and prosperous, and it is also filled with the busyness and joy of the New Year.After all, it is the capital, not to mention the dignitaries and nobles, the life of the people here is always a little stronger than other places, so there is also a faster atmosphere for the New Year.But this harmonious atmosphere was soon broken by a sudden news from the northwest.On this day, Mo Shu was practicing swordsmanship with Wu Ziheng, and outside the martial arts training field, Lu Twelve hurriedly walked over with a piece of news, and bowed down to report: "Master Hou, the news from the northwest is more urgent." ”The two stopped.Mo Shu felt that there might be something big, although she was very interested, but she didn't know if it was convenient for her to stay by the side and listen, so she also put her sword into the sheath and greeted Wu Ziheng, preparing to leave first.Wu Ziheng stopped Mo Shu and said, "Wait a minute." ”Mo Shu stopped.But seeing that Wu Ziheng quickly finished reading a small piece of paper, his face didn't see any change, he was still as light as ever, thinking that he was wrong and it was nothing serious, but he soon heard Wu Ziheng say: "Li Guodong's Western Expedition was completely annihilated, and he committed suicide in defeat." ”As soon as these words came out, Mo Shu and Lu Twelve couldn't help but blurt out: "What" The matter of the Western Expedition is a major matter that Emperor Liu Kai of Liang is concerned about, and soon after Liu Kai withdrew Wu Ziheng's military power, he quickly appointed Li Guodong, who became famous as a teenager, to take over Wu Ziheng's military power, and soon after Mo Shu, Wu Ziheng and Wu Huazhang returned from the northwest, relying on Wu Ziheng's brilliant achievements in the northwest before, Li Guodong led the troops to the west, wanting to conquer Wuhu in the northwest in one fell swoop.And when Emperor Liu Kai of Liang made this decision, Wu Licheng, the Duke of Jin, once dissuaded Liu Kai after analyzing with Wu Ziheng.But Liu Kai insisted on going his own way, feeling that the Wu family was seized because of the military power, and he didn't want Li Guodong to surpass Wu Ziheng, so he spoke out to stop him.Most of the other ministers also think so, although some people think that such a large-scale westward expedition must recruit strong men for military service, and also need a large number of military food, horses, weapons and other materials, some of which cost the people and money, but as soon as they heard about the prestige of the Liang Dynasty and the like, and thought about suppressing the Jin State Mansion to prevent the Wu family from wishing, they were all relieved, and most of them changed to support the dispatch of troops.The persuasion of the Duke of Jin was ineffective, so he stopped talking.The manpower and material resources spent on this western expedition and the number of strong men requisitioned were naturally huge, and Emperor Liu Kai of Liang was also ambitious, and he had high hopes for this, just waiting for Wuhu to surrender.Now there is a sudden news that the generalissimo of the Western Expedition, Li Guodong, has committed suicide in defeat, and I don't know how much turmoil it will set off, Lu Twelve After a while, he said: "Now Chang'an should not know this news." ”The annihilation of the whole army means that hundreds of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, although Lu Twelve did not have much affection for Li Guodong, but the soldiers under his command were all comrades in the army, and all of them died in the northwest at once, and he still couldn't help but feel pathos.This incident shook the court and was real.Mo Shu didn't know if Emperor Liu Kai of Liang would be the same as in his previous life after hearing this, in addition to thunder and anger, he would plan to go west again.The current situation in the northwest, if we go west again, I am afraid that we will still lose the war, and the people will lose money.After learning about this, Wu Ziheng didn't say much, only said that he would go back to Chang'an to discuss the matter with his father Jin Guogong and his two brothers.And Mo Shu naturally went back to write a letter to the Mo family of his henchmen about this matter, and told the Yang family, the Bai family and Mo Hao to discuss it together.One person counts short, two people count long.Mo Shu thought that after reading so many Di newspapers, she still had no talent for this strategic planning or something, so she could only listen to her family's opinions first.This kind of thing always spreads quickly, the next day the northwest war was lost, the army led by Li Guodong was annihilated, and the news of Li Guodong's own defeat and suicide reached Chang'an, the Son of Heaven was furious, and everyone was in an uproar, and then the people of Chang'an began to discuss this matter.And several generals immediately stood up in the court, petitioning to send troops, saying that they would give Liang a snow to shame.The opinion of the Duke of Jin Guo is naturally to stick to the northwest border city and not fight for the time being.This recital made Liu Kai furious, and immediately dropped a book on the dragon case, scolded the old man of the Jin Kingdom, and asked him if he had any collusion with the northwest.When Jin Guogong heard that such a big crime was deducted on his head, he immediately pleaded guilty and did not persuade him deeply.But this time, the ministers no longer had the previous mind to gloat at the Jin State Gongwu Licheng, and they realized that if Liu Kai was allowed to send troops to the west again, the loss of strong men and money would be even more
