ALL NOVEL Chapter 436
Chapter 436: The Method to Eradicate the Farmers! Four Beauties Block the Way!
Duanmu Rong glanced at Uya and bluntly stated, “The suffering caused by the malevolent Qi in the later stages will be a hundred times worse than in the early stages.”
Uya shivered at her words.
The pain from the earlier malevolent Qi outbreak still haunted her memory.
A hundred times more painful than before?
Might as well just die!
Li Mo snapped out of his thoughts and promised Uya, “Don’t worry, I’ll find the Fire Ganoderma for you.”
With that, he turned and headed to Jing Ni’s side.
Not just for Uya, though.
The Farmers’ Organization needed to be dealt with sooner or later.
No matter how, he absolutely couldn’t allow that anti-Qin force to continue to grow stronger.
“Back so soon? What did Duanmu say?”
In the main courtyard, Jing Ni leisurely sat under a pavilion reading a book.
Xiao Yan’er lay in a cradle, blissfully fast asleep under the sun.
Duanmu Rong mentioned that children should bask in the sunlight for ample time.
Li Mo first glanced at the little one, who was not sleeping at night and waking up in the day, and decided to drop her off with Duanmu Rong early tonight.
He pinched her tiny nose, eliciting a disgruntled hand swipe from the dreaming Xiao Yan’er.
Jing Ni shot Li Mo a glare. “Don’t wake her up!”
“She hasn’t slept a wink; if she wakes up, that’d be a miracle.”
Li Mo mumbled and finally withdrew his hand from her nose.
As soon as he sat down in the pavilion, Jing Ni handed him a cup of tea.
She then asked again, “What did Duanmu say?”
Li Mo downed the tea in one go and wiped the tea stains from his mouth. “Just like before, she has at most two months left to live, and… one month later, her condition will worsen.”
Jing Ni’s brows slowly knitted together in worry. “Even Duanmu can’t do anything?”
Though young, Duanmu Rong’s medical skills were unmatched in this world.
If even she couldn’t do anything, they could only hope for the Book of Humans to change her fate.
But they still hadn’t found a way to rewrite the Book of Humans.
The classics in the imperial palace had been searched through, yielding nothing.
Jing Ni methodically continued, “It won’t be long before we hear from the Yin-Yang School and Taoist sects. The Little Sage Courtyard will be arriving soon; then you can check their library personally.”
Master Xun had previously accepted Li Mo’s invitation to serve as the principal of the higher education institution in Xi’an.
This old man was straightforward, even bringing the whole Little Sage Courtyard along with him, determined to promote Confucian culture.
The Confucianists had an extensive collection of classics, second only to the imperial palace, which is why Jing Ni mentioned it.
Li Mo nodded. “Duanmu said there’s a kind of medicinal herb that can alleviate Uya’s condition a month from now.”
It was essential to prepare for various scenarios.
If they could find a way to rewrite the Book of Humans within a month, that would be ideal.
But if not, they couldn’t let Uya suffer from malevolent Qi every day.
“That’s easy; no matter what we need, we just send someone to buy it, no matter the cost.”
No surprise, they were thinking along the same lines.
Li Mo bluntly stated, “There’s only one such herb in the world, and it’s with the Farmers’ Organization.”
“The Farmers’ Organization?”
Jing Ni paused, suddenly realizing. “Are you planning to strike against the Farmers’ Organization?”
“Indeed. Before the unification war, the Farmers’ Organization had significant power, and after the Six States were destroyed, they absorbed quite a lot of people. We can’t let them grow any stronger.”
Jing Ni looked at him. “Do you already have a plan?”
She knew her husband well; Li Mo never acted without confidence.
“I only have some leads; I still need to discuss specifics with Ying Zheng. For now, send a message to Tian Mi to see where the Fire Ganoderma is hidden in the Farmers’ Organization. I’ll head to the imperial palace now.”
Such an important item would definitely be heavily guarded by the Farmers’ Organization.
Though Tian Mi had a bit of standing in the Farmers’ Organization, it was only limited.
This kind of treasure, she probably didn’t even have the qualifications to touch.
To dismantle the Farmers’ Organization, they needed to approach it from two angles.
One was the masters and leaders of the Farmers’ Organization, along with the elders of the Six Elders Hall.
These were the core figures of the Farmers’ Organization.
The other was their so-called one hundred thousand disciples.
Most of those disciples were either refugees from various states or rural farmers.
Joining the Farmers’ Organization basically meant they were just looking for food to eat.
Without these people, or if they didn’t obey orders anymore, the Farmers’ Organization wouldn’t be much of a force anymore.
Of course, the “non-existence” here didn’t mean just killing them all.
Li Mo wasn’t Bai Qi.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to create that much carnage.
One hundred thousand people weren’t just a hundred thousand flies that could be buried without a thought.
The reason they stood against Qin was ultimately because they were hungry.
Farmers’ thoughts were quite simple:
As long as there’s land to farm and food to eat, they wouldn’t risk their lives for rebellion!
Whoever becomes emperor, it doesn’t matter; whoever feeds them is their emperor!
They want to farm?
Then let them have land to farm!
Without the army made up of these laborers, even if the Farmers’ Organization wanted to rise up, they’d just be a hollow shell!
Li Mo instructed someone to prepare a horse-drawn carriage, ready to head to the imperial palace to discuss this with Ying Zheng.
But just as he approached the gate, he was blocked by four stunning figures!
Li Mo couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing them.
If they hadn’t shown up, he might have forgotten they were even in the courtyard!
