Chapter 584 When Princess Heqin Becomes the Supreme Empress (10)
Gu Mo pulled the knife away and took a look at it. It was indeed a good knife.
She accepted it, "Thank you."
Arti blushed, "Then I'll leave first."
After he finished speaking, he saw Gu Mo holding the knife and thinking about it. He just said yes without even looking at himself.
"I am leaving."
Gu Mo raised his head and looked at him blankly, "Do you still want me to send you off?"
Atty, "If you insist on sending it, it's not impossible."
The next moment, Gu Mo roared and sent him out.
Ati, "..."
Eat my fruit, accept my knife, and treat me like this?
Gu Mo's book was finished and began to be widely circulated in Donghu, which once again improved Gu Mo's status in Donghu.
She began to reform Donghu as an envoy.
Gu Mo will not interfere in politics. After all, the Donghu people also know that people who are not from my race will have different thoughts. She does not want to die, as a married princess, to interfere in other people's politics.
So Gu Mo only started from the economic and cultural aspects.
The writing of the Donghu people is very complicated, and the writing of each tribe is not unified. It is actually very difficult to learn. Therefore, many Donghu people, including princes and ministers, are illiterate.
Gu Mo encouraged them to learn the Central Plains culture and some etiquette systems of the Central Plains.
Economically, Gu Mo encouraged Donghu to trade with other countries, and packaged some of Donghu's specialties to improve their quality and sell them to other places.
Originally, Donghu was a very important gateway for exchanges between the East and the West. Many Western businessmen going to the Central Plains region must pass through Donghu.
In the past, Donghu could not produce the goods for exchange with these foreign merchants, so they directly cut off this road, causing many foreign merchants to take long detours to the Central Plains.
Now, Dong Hu also has things that can be traded, so he naturally wants to do business with these foreigners and bring wealth.
To attract these businessmen to take this road again, we cannot prevent them from going to the Central Plains.
As a result, Donghu reopened the blocked trade route.
Although they have not yet established commercial relations with the Central Plains, they have begun to trade goods with other tribal peoples west of Donghu and those foreign merchants.
The packaged Donghu specialties reached the hands of these foreign businessmen and were sold overseas through trade routes, bringing more wealth to Donghu and making the lives of Donghu people gradually richer.
Seeing that the opening of trade routes had brought benefits to Donghu, Gu Mo suggested to King Donghu that he could conduct some business transactions with Kang State.
After all, Donghu has only a limited amount of things he can take away, and he can earn very little.
But the Central Plains is different. The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, and those foreign businessmen are rare for the silk and porcelain from the Central Plains.
As long as it trades with the Central Plains, Donghu can buy what foreigners want from the Central Plains people and then export it to earn the price difference.
With money, Donghu can buy grain from the Central Plains, so there is no need for war and plundering. Even the Central Plains has no reason not to agree.
King Donghu did not agree.
Gu Mo was not in a hurry. After all, the conflict between Donghu and Kang Guo was a bit deep. Donghu had even kidnapped the emperor, so how could he dare to show favor to Kang Guo so easily?
But in the following years, Gu Mo still conscientiously performed her duties as the princess and dispelled King Donghu's war intentions.
Over the years, King Donghu indeed never mentioned the war with Kang Guo again.
When Gu Mo thought she was about to succeed in achieving her wish for friendly exchanges between the two countries, King Donghu took advantage of her to teach in other tribes and sent his troops south.
It almost caught her off guard.
Gu Mo looked at Ati, "You already knew?"
Ati did not deny it, "The royal father received a letter from the Central Plains, saying that there was also a drought in the Central Plains and that the emperor was seriously ill. The royal father thought this was a good time to attack the Central Plains, so he refused to listen and insisted on leading his troops south.
, I can’t stop it.”
King Donghu had already made plans to go south half a year ago.
Ati lowered his head, "I'm sorry..."
"What are you sorry for? You and I have different positions, so why should I blame you?"
Arti felt a little uncomfortable.
It was Gu Mo who made Donghu survive the plague crisis, and it was Gu Mo who made Donghu stronger. And she did this just in the hope that Donghu and Kang would no longer go to war.
But Donghu betrayed her and used what she taught and the wealth she brought to attack her motherland.
He whispered: "Even if the royal father goes south, for your sake, he will not harm the royal family."
Gu Mo smiled, "How do you have the confidence that Donghu can destroy Kangguo? Do you know Kangguo? Do you know the population of Donghu and the population of Kangguo? Do you know the political and military system of Kangguo? Do you know the platoon of Kangguo?
Who are the generals who set up the troops and mobilized the troops and punished the generals? Do you know how much military food reserves the Kang State has? You don't know anything, but you can defeat the Kang State just by being brave and good at fighting on horseback?
"
Ati was very angry at what she said, "Are you looking down on us, Donghu?"
Gu Mo, "Do you still expect me to think highly of you?"
Ati's chest kept rising and falling with anger, and his chest muscles were about to burst out of his clothes.
"You are insulting! I didn't even insult you like that! Don't go too far!"
Gu Mo finished watching The Far East and asked Ati again.
"Do you know why you were able to take my brother away from the imperial city five years ago?"
"Of course it's because our Donghu men are capable!"
Probably because of this, King Donghu felt that he could defeat Kang Guo.
Gu Mo sneered, "It's not that you are very capable, but that there was an internal struggle in Kang State at that time. Some people were helping you, trying to use Donghu to provoke a war between the two countries and benefit from it, but this internal struggle is not enough.
In order to dismantle the political power of Kang State, you Donghu people will join in and serve as cannon fodder for others and chase after Kang State. Kang State will not be destroyed. At most, its vitality will be severely damaged. But I can guarantee that if Kang State is angered, it will definitely kill Donghu. In the end, Kang State will not be destroyed.
Either you will be completely destroyed by Kang State, or like Nanrong, you will be driven deep into the desert by Kang State, and future generations will suffer accordingly."
Gu Mo reached out and poked his bulging chest muscles.
"Young man, you are just here to serve as cannon fodder for others, do you understand?"
This is really not Gu Mo's boast. Apart from the fact that the Central Plains people are not as tall and strong as the Donghu people, they are more advanced than the Donghu people in all aspects.
Gu Mo's five years of hard work in Donghu were not enough to turn Donghu into a superpower in an instant and compete with Kang State.
It's one thing that Kang Guo doesn't want to start a war, but if a war really breaks out, Donghu will be the only one who perishes in the end.
What Gu Mo said was so convoluted that it took Ati a long time to figure it out.
Only then did he realize that the Donghu people couldn't beat the Central Plains people just based on their brains.
But he was not convinced, "We Donghu will not necessarily lose!"
