Chapter 260: Conscription for Servitude


While the two were talking, the next person came to report that the dinner was ready, and Tuoba Lie stopped talking and asked Mo to go to the banquet.

The banquet has a total of eight vegetarian dishes, compared with the feast of Zhao State, it seems very shabby, at the beginning of the banquet, there are two deputy generals of Tuoba Lie, after the toast, they will withdraw first, and the order will be sent overnight to recruit the people.

Although Tuoba Lie is a relative of the emperor, he was born in the army, he is very bold, Mo Wen has a peaceful temperament, and he is thoughtful, and he appreciates a bold person like Tuoba Lie, so he drank a few more glasses with him.

Although the atmosphere of the banquet is harmonious but not warm, this is also caused by Mo Wen, ordinary people can do whatever they want, Taoist people do not succeed, Taoist people must abide by Taoist precepts, one of them is not to lose their temper, even if the mood is good, you can't get drunk, you need to stay awake all the time, and staying awake is a very tiring thing in itself.

Mo Wen naturally would not lose his temper, but Tuoba Lie made a gaffe when he was about to disperse, knelt on his knees, and bowed to Mo Wen.

"General, what are you doing, hurry up."

Mo Wen was taken aback and got up to help.

"The real person commanded the army to attack Yan, in exchange for three years of recuperation for the country, and previously rescued Tuoba Shiqi, who was good at the strategy, this time I sent gold and silver to help me represent the country, the emperor and the king of Rui are not here, and the millions of people who will kneel and thank the real people of the country will be replaced by the country, if the country can really return to the Central Plains one day, it is the kindness of the real person."

Tuoba Lie kowtowed three times before getting up.

"The general is serious."

Mo Wen helped Tuoba Lie up, and then sat back in his seat and frowned, the three things that Tuoba Lie said before were not something he had the intention to do, the original intention of fighting Yan Guo was in exchange for the reduction of Zhao Guo's endowment, not for Tuoba Daiguo.

The purpose of digging the mausoleum was to find mushrooms, not to send gold and silver to the country.

Rescuing Tuoba Shiqi was just a casual effort, and it didn't have any deep meaning.

But these three things have inadvertently helped Daiguo.

Could it be that unintentionality is providence?

Tuoba Lie was stunned when he saw Mo Wen, and dispersed the banquet with interest, and invited Mo Wen into the backyard to rest, Tuoba Lie's folk customs were greatly affected by the barbarian state, Tuoba Lie invited Mo Wen into his room, leaving all his wives and concubines, Mo Wen hurriedly refused when he saw this, Tuoba Lie had no choice but to arrange another room for him, and sent his maidservants to serve, but he was also driven away by Mo Wen.

Because he drank wine in the evening, Mo Wen didn't do the evening class, and lay down on the wooden bed to think about the past, those wizards of Yan Kingdom had bewitched the mentally imperfect five-clawed golden dragon to oppose him, and he was reminded by Sable, he only knew that the five-clawed golden dragon was located in the territory of Daiguo, but he didn't deliberately do anything for Daiguo, because the five-clawed golden dragon was not yet a climate, and if he intervened, it was very likely to produce unknown changes, so he could only go with the flow.

But think about it carefully, some of the previous unintentional actions have helped Daiguo a lot, when he commanded the army to recover the three counties, he didn't expect Daiguo to benefit from this, and when he rescued Tuoba Shiqi, he didn't know that Tuoba Shiqi was good at strategy, this time he had already made up his mind to visit the tomb alone, but suddenly changed his mind halfway and asked someone to help, and it was Daiguo who was invited.

Dai Guo is extremely poor at the moment, there are only dozens of cities, and there are only more than one million people, such a small country will enter the Central Plains within 60 years, and it is far from enough to rely on its own efforts, and it also needs external help, and the gold in Cao Cao's mausoleum may be its biggest help.

Only by suddenly injecting a large amount of money can the national strength grow rapidly.

Thinking of this, Mo Wen is very happy, the reason is that if Daiguo wants to enter the Central Plains within a Jiazi, he must get a large amount of gold and strong national strength, and the source of gold can only be Cao Cao's mausoleum, that is to say, Cao Cao's mausoleum will definitely be dug up this time, as long as the mausoleum is dug up, there is seventy percent hope to get the mushroom, as long as the mushroom is obtained, Ah Jiu and Lao Wu, the two people closest to him, will benefit, he can marry Ah Jiu, and Lao Wu can also reunite with a family with peace of mind, and from then on he will be able to live in seclusion in the mountains and calmly enlighten.

In addition to joy, Mo Wen has a very strong fear in his heart, this fear is the fear of Providence, everything is destined by Providence, what the world does seems to be his own decision, but in fact it is still the will of Heaven, this time I changed my mind halfway to invite Daiguo is the best proof, I was originally determined not to ask for people, how could I suddenly change my hexagram.

With fear, Mo Wen began to recall the change of state of mind when he was lying in the wooden shed and closing his eyes and thinking about it this afternoon, when he had just been blown out, he was in a very annoyed state, it was anger that made him change his original intention, and what kind of thing Providence wanted to change a person's original thoughts or prompt him to do would quietly affect when his emotions fluctuated violently, so that the world would be affected without knowing it.

Thinking about this, don't ask closed his eyes and smiled, the world is busy with livelihoods, and it is rare to calm down to comprehend the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the Taoist is quiet, so he can think very far-reaching, through careful thinking, he has realized a hidden heavenly truth, that is, the vast majority of the world, their fate is controlled by the will of heaven, and they can't make decisions for themselves at all, as long as the mood fluctuates, they will be affected by the will of heaven, and no matter whether the consequences are good or bad, it is not what the world wants, but the reward and punishment of heaven, that is, the burden of heaven.

Only a very small number of people can get rid of the control of God's will and make decisions for themselves, but the premise is that the person's heart must be calm, there must be no violent fluctuations in emotions, and even in the face of big changes, they must maintain a peaceful state of mind.

Thinking about this, Mo Wen was very happy in his heart, what he was most afraid of was being controlled, even if he was controlled by heaven, he would feel that he was a puppet, and he had to make his own decisions, fortunately, God did not deprive the world of the right to make his own decisions, but the threshold for this transcendence of heaven's control was set very high, and most people couldn't do this.

If the will of heaven is too thorough, it may cause jealousy, and there must be a sense of awe for heaven and earth, only the foolish fool will have the ignorant and wild words of rebellion against the sky, and the wise will respect heaven and earth, because heaven and earth will not make a person perish more than slapping a mosquito to death, and a malignant tumor can easily take the life of a disobedient person.

The so-called self-control of destiny is not to go against the sky, but to maintain one's own heart and not be quietly affected by the will of heaven.

At the time of the second watch, Mo Wen forced himself to fall asleep, not allowing himself to think more, whether it was the yin and yang of heaven and earth or the men and women of the world, he could not fully understand, seven became the best, if he saw too thoroughly, life would be no fun at all.

The next morning, Mo Wen got up early, the morning light outside the house made him feel very good, put on his robe and opened the door, and sure enough, he found that the heavy snow had stopped.

"Real people get up early."

Tuoba Lie led his maidservants from a distance.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, General Tuoba is hard."

Don't ask to go out and return the salute to Tuoba Lie, Tuoba Lie and the maid he led are all frosted on their eyebrows, and they know that they have been waiting outside the house for a long time without asking.

"Real person, please freshen up first, and then go to the kitchen to supervise the work."

Tuoba Lie walked up to Mo Wen and bowed.

"How can you bother the general so much," Mo Wen was very upset.

"This is an honor, the recruitment of the people is underway, and we can leave in the afternoon."

Tuoba Lie said.

Mo Wen was helpless, so he had to say hard again, and Tuoba Lie bowed again and turned to leave.

Tuoba Lie went out of the courtyard gate, and immediately someone entered the courtyard with a broom to clear the snow.

Seeing this, Mo Wen felt even more uneasy in his heart, Tuoba Lie thought very thoughtfully, lest the sound of snow clearing affect his rest.

At the same time, Mo Wen also began to admire Tuoba Lie, although he knew that Tuoba Lie's actions were to please him, but he still had a good impression of Tuoba Lie, Tuoba Lie was so courteous to him, if there was something to ask for in the future, he really couldn't bear to refuse.

After freshening up, after breakfast, Tuoba Lie went out to supervise the collection of labor, Mo asked the government from the house walked around, from the west courtyard of the house to stand in front of the eagle house for a while, the eagle house is built outdoors, in order to let the bird adapt to the cold can fly in winter, there are two Hai Dongqing in the eagle house, and two eagle houses are empty, according to the snowflakes falling in the eagle house and the remaining bird droppings, these two Hai Dongqing were released last night, do not ask whether it is Tuoba Lie who informed the court of his arrival.

As long as you are careful, there are no secrets.

And Mo Wen also has a deep meaning to observe the Eagle House, he must be sure that Tuoba Lie is really loyal to Daiguo, if Tuoba Lie did not release the letter bird to inform the Daiguo court, it shows that he has the intention to hide this matter and wants to swallow the funeral gold alone.

The gold and jade buried in Cao Cao's mausoleum must have been piled up, and this wealth must not fall into the hands of individuals.

Turn around from the palace, don't ask to go out and walk in the city, the city in the north of the city is very different from the city in the Guannei, the customs are not the same, the streets here are not as clean as the city in the middle earth, the road can be seen from time to time cow and sheep dung, the villagers' clothes are mainly sheepskin, there is also a small amount of linen, and there is a lot of peculiar smell on the body.

Hunger is common in all countries except the Jin Kingdom, and this is no exception, and most of the villagers have high cheekbones and hungry faces.

But at this time, their expressions were very excited, and they dragged their families to gather in Nancheng with digging and farming tools.

Follow the villagers to Nancheng, and find that there is a grain depot, different from the grain depot in Middle Earth, the grain stock here is not grain, but cattle and sheep, every peasant household who has gone out of labor will get a sheep, the labor is strong, the family gets a slightly larger sheep, the labor is thin, the sheep is small, and the distribution method is very primitive.

These sheep were originally military food for soldiers, ordinary people could not get it, in the winter labor can be exchanged for a sheep for the family, all the people are very happy, the sheep was taken away by the family, they stayed and waited for departure.

Although the lifestyle of these people is similar to that of the Hu people, they are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and they are all Han Chinese, not very tall, and their faces are softly contoured.

Near noon, Mo Wen returned to the palace, Tuoba Lie sent two letters, the letterhead was rolled, and it was known that it was brought back by Hai Dongqing, one of which was a letter from Tuoba Shiyiqian, the emperor of the country, to pay tribute to him.

There is also a letter from the wise king Tuoba Shiqi, sincerely thanking him.

In addition to the two letters, Tuoba Lie also sent a black cloak, which was woven from silk, presumably because he saw that he had no coat, so he hurried to make it.

After lunch, Mo Wen said goodbye to Tuoba Lie and led the team out of the city, the main city did not transfer enough 20,000 people, after the team set off, there were small groups of people in the auxiliary city from time to time to chase after them, and those cattle and sheep that served as food were moo and bleated at the end.

Yesterday it snowed heavily for a day, the snow on the ground was more than a foot thick, and the team stretched for more than ten miles.
