C559: It’s so Good in the Northwest

The instructions given to Mo Chongyuan by Nan Yu were to kill all the emperors, nobles of the Southern Xiang region, and enslave the common people, denying them any chance of rebellion.

Although Nan Yu's approach was ruthless, for the sake of lasting peace and stability, he had to nip potential dangers in the bud.

Nan Yu and Mo Jiuye became intimate friends, indicating that their thoughts aligned in many ways.

Like Mo Jiuye, Nan Yu was not someone who would indiscriminately kill the innocent, but he could not feel any pity towards the Southern Xiang region.

Similarly, every single man of the Mo family harbored deep resentment towards the Southern Xiang to this extent.

However, the situation with the Barbarians was different. The Barbarians did not practice such crooked ways, so those common people were quite innocent.

Their main reason for attacking Da Shun was to fill their bellies.

Even when their attacks were occasionally motivated by impure intentions, it was due to the greed of their rulers.

The Barbarians had to be conquered and officially incorporated into the territory of Da Shun, but they would not be left with any rulers.

Henceforth, there would be no nation called the Barbarians in this world.

Of course, the task of governing the Barbarian territories absorbed into Da Shun would be directly assigned to Mo Jiuye by Nan Yu.

When he had so readily agreed to grant the northwest as Mo Jiuye's fief, Nan Yu had harbored this ulterior motive.

Unbeknownst to Nan Yu, this completely aligned with He Zhiran's wishes.

Initially, she had planned to find a way for Mo Jiuye to rent a plot of land in the Barbarian territories for livestock farming after pacifying the region.

This was not a whim of He Zhiran's - it was common knowledge that the Barbarian lands were barren, with most areas being grasslands.

Logically, the Barbarians could have chosen animal husbandry as their livelihood, but they could not find a market for the cattle and sheep they raised, so they gradually abandoned this idea.

However, He Zhiran did not need to worry about the market for cattle and sheep.

In her hands, no matter how many cattle and sheep, she could sell them all.

Take the beloved hotpot from her previous life, for example - it was a delicacy made primarily of beef and mutton.

There were also roasted whole lamb, wind-dried beef jerky, and even cooked beef dishes.

In short, He Zhiran had countless ways to consume beef and mutton. With all these methods of consuming cattle and sheep, how could she worry about a lack of market?

Just the other day, the long-awaited Minister He finally arrived in the northwest with Uncle Feng.

He Zhiran took out a few copper hotpots that she had recently asked Hu Cong to make, and also purchased some charcoal from the villagers.

On one hand, this was to welcome her Father who had traveled from afar, but she also wanted her family to experience an authentic charcoal hotpot.

Although she had previously prepared this way of eating, at that time, apart from the unprofessional cookware, there were also issues with the visible light exposure of many condiments, so it could only be considered a makeshift effort.
