Chapter 488: Li Family Sisters Reunite!_2

Translator: 549690339

After the Li family at the western border heard the news, they quietly moved their headquarters to the edge of the western border. Clearly, it was to prevent the emperor from sending people to exterminate the entire Li family. Of course, this didn’t exist in Li Yueming’s calculations.

Although the emperor of this generation had a bad temper, he knew how to judge the situation.

As long as the Li family was willing to stay at the border to fight against the Qin army, the emperor would not completely fall out with the Li family.

After all, in the emperor’s eyes, although the Li family was despicable, compared to the Qin army, which could easily be destroyed, they could still be considered harmless little Karami.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

No matter how powerful and influential the Li family was, they were still just a family.

No matter how arrogant he was, he would at most occupy a corner of the land and be the king behind closed doors.

As long as the Great Zhou Dynasty had the time, they could easily kill him.

However, Great Qin was different.

If the mighty Qin army invaded the hinterland of the Great Zhou, it was really possible that this huge kingdom that had been pa.s.sed down for tens of thousands of years would be completely destroyed.

The dangers of the two were not on the same level.

Thus, it was self-evident what the current emperor, who was good at weighing pros and cons, would choose.

What happened after that basically confirmed Li Yueming’s judgment.

After suffering this loss, the emperor no longer wanted to tie the Li family to the Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, the Li family also paid a price for this.

The first was the Duke’s estate in the western border. The emperor had sent people to take it back and demolished all the buildings that did not conform to etiquette in the Li family. He announced that the Li family would no longer enjoy the extravagance and treatment of the Duke’s estate. All the buildings and clothing could only be calculated according to the t.i.tle of Marquis of Southern Mountains.

Secondly, more than half of the Star Moon Army’s rations had been cut off.

In the past, no matter how difficult it was, the imperial court had never lacked the Star Moon Army’s rations.

However, after offending the emperor this time, the imperial court had reduced the provisions provided to the Star Moon Army by more than half. The remaining provisions could only barely keep the Star Moon Army running. They would not give any more.

Every position and experience of these so-called management were higher than Li Yueming.

They were sent here purely to make Li Yueming unhappy.

Under the triple attack.

Although Li Yueming also felt unhappy, he still accepted it in the end.

The Li family’s cards had been torn apart.

In the past, it would definitely be a huge matter.

But now, the entire Li family was already afraid of Li Yueming and Li Nanfeng.

The clan elders in the clan did not even dare to continue staying in the ancestral mansion, deeply afraid that if they closed their eyes and slept one night, they would wake up the next day to find that their heads had been hung on bamboo poles by the imperial court.

Thus, although the emperor’s first strike was very heavy, it was not a simple one.

However, in reality, it did not cause much substantial damage to Li Nanfeng and Li Yueming.

The elders only wished for the safety of their families.

It symbolized the glory of the Li family.

So be it!

As for cutting off the Starmoon Troop’s rations, it should have been the most ruthless of the three moves.

After all, people were made of steel. If they didn’t eat, they would be hungry.

No matter how steely the Star-Moon Army’s will was.

However, if he could barely fill his stomach.

What other matters?

This was also the most effective move that the Imperial Court could come up with under normal circ.u.mstances.

Cut off food and money.

No matter how powerful your army is, it’s not a big deal.

Even in front of money and food, he had to kneel down obediently and call him daddy.

Unfortunately…

This move was not very effective against Li Yueming.

The reason…

Naturally, it was because Li Yueming was already prepared to receive this move.

There was no need to talk about food.

As early as the establishment of the Star Moon Army, in order to not be suppressed by the imperial court in the future, Li Yueming had secretly planted grain on the plains downstream of the Northern Ice River.

Now, the grain industry had been developing for nearly ten years.

In addition, there was the agricultural expert Huang Li ‘er who followed up the whole process.

The food supply of Northern Glacier Town and the Star-Moon Army had already been able to replenish themselves over the years.

As for the annual salary.

This thing was not as high in demand as grain.

Currently, the grain in Northern Glacier Town had achieved the initial stage of self-production and self-marketing. The taxes collected by the hundreds of thousands of people were naturally sufficient for the normal operation of the Star Moon Army and other civil servants.

In the past few years, Li Ming had still needed to pay some taxes to the imperial court.

But now, the imperial court had stopped allocating money to the Starmoon

Army.

Li Yueming didn’t bother pretending.

All the taxes produced by Northern Glacier Town would be put into his own pocket.

As for the emperor’s final move…

He was an executive of the Star Moon Army.

If it was thrown to a normal army, this move would probably have a considerable effect.

After all, the army wasn’t as united as one.

If the general was strong enough to suppress the others, it would be fine.

If the general didn’t do his best.

It was quite fatal for the imperial court to send high officials to the court.

After all, as long as the high officials appointed by the court could give enough benefits, the soldiers would be more likely to be promoted and raised if they followed the high officials appointed by the court.

Thus, this was a great cohesion for an army.

However, the Star Moon Army was not a normal team, and Li Yueming was not a normal general.

Li Yueming did not even have the time to attack them. The few high officials sent by the emperor had only stayed in the Star Moon Army for a few days before they were sent to stand guard by a group of reincarnators..
