Forget it!
A few days ago, he had just thrown Cai Yue’s hundreds of subordinates into the frying pan!
Who would still dare to provoke him now?
He had cleaned up the village.
Li Yueming checked around and confirmed that there was no problem.
Coincidentally, the new barracks built by the army had also been completed.
At this moment, Li Yueming and his newly established Star Moon Army finally had their own base in this remote and uninhabited land.
Of course, this was only the beginning.
After the army finished tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the new barracks, the second thing they did was to widen and extend the streets of North Glacier Town.
Northern Ice River Town had a total of over 5,000 households and over 10,000 people.
It was neither big nor small.
Compared to the cities and towns in the Central Plains.
Northern Ice River Town was at most a slightly larger village.
However, outside of the snowy mountains that could be in danger at any time, it was already very good for Northern Glacier Town to have such a large population.
The reason why Li Yueming wanted to expand the road was to prepare for long-term development in the future.
After all, he had connections in the snowy mountains.
Even if there was a Beast Tide in the future, he could use the little fox to carry out some reasonable evasion.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happened.
Northern Ice River Town would become a long-term town in the future. It would no longer be like before, when they heard that a beast tide was coming, they would flee with their families.
Hence…
The residents of Northern Glacier Town had witnessed the third unbelievable thing in just a month.
They saw that the newly arrived 5,000 soldiers were actually digging stones to pave the way in the middle of winter!!!
The five thousand soldiers had widened the muddy path that had not changed for decades in Northern Ice River Town by several meters.
The surrounding villagers were also moved away, and the soldiers even built a brand new residential building for them.
This discovery stunned countless residents of Northern Glacier Town.
What did they see?
The officers and soldiers were actually taking the initiative to help them build roads?
Did the sun rise from the west or did they sleep too late last night, causing them to hallucinate today?
But no matter what they think,
The road in Northern Ice River Town was still spreading at an astonishing speed.
In just two months, the entire Northern Ice River Town had been renewed under the efforts of Li Yueming and the soldiers.
If it weren’t for the fact that those short and shabby houses looked unsightly.
It was estimated that the current Northern Glacier Town could compete with the old society.
While doing all of this.
The entire Starmoon Troop was undergoing a baptism from the inside out.
After all, in the past, the scouts lived in Zhenbei City.
Although most of them were from poor families, they had never been so close to the people.
But now, under the leadership of Li Yueming, they not only built their own military camp, but also paved a stone road for the town.
The sense of accomplishment was immediately filled.
Of course, the reason why they could work so hard was not just because of their trust and admiration for Li Yueming.
It was more because they had gained some benefits from following Li Yueming.
Not only did he double his monthly salary every year.
Li Yueming had never deducted their rations.
Moreover, they had been eating and drinking well every day for the past two months.
With a full stomach, he was naturally full of energy.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, it was impossible for the other generals to conjure so much grain out of thin air for the army.
But Li Yueming was different!
After the secret letter was sent to the emperor.
The emperor was very concerned about this new army that was said to be able to rival the Qin army in the future.
The secret letter sent to You Aotian had already emphasized that all of Li Yueming’s requests had to be prioritized.
Li Yueming was the one who brought out the rations with the secret letter.
Every three months, You Aotian would send a supply troop to transport grain and fodder here.
Of course, it was definitely not enough to just sit and eat.
The army had to be able to train in this place, and at the very least, they had to be self-sufficient.
Therefore, after completing the road reconstruction.
The third decree issued by Li Yueming was to reclaim land.
Although the weather in Northern Ice River Town was cold, the land was fertile.
During spring plowing, cold-resistant crops such as wheat and millet could generally mature.
However, farming was not popular here.
After all, as long as the spirit beasts came, the entire town would be severely damaged. The fields that had been painstakingly cultivated for several years would also suffer a major blow.
Over time, places like Northern Ice River Town were abandoned.
It had become an uninhabitable place in everyone’s mind!
The population had all moved south to the city.
Now, Li Yueming was obviously going to do the opposite.
The biggest reason why the emperor was able to let the rest of the people stay here and was so magnanimous to let Li Yueming train the new army was because he had made up his mind that Li Yueming would not be able to escape his control in a short period of time.
After all, Northern Ice River Town did not produce any grain, so the army had to rely on the imperial court for food and drink.
As long as the emperor wanted to, he could starve the army at any time.
Without food, the army naturally couldn’t cause any trouble and could be controlled by the emperor.
Li Yueming also knew this.
Therefore, he had already taken the lead in clearing the wasteland before the winter had pa.s.sed and the snow had completely melted.
He led a group of people to reclaim wasteland on the plains downstream of the Northern Ice River.
They also sowed food inside.
He did not have to worry about not being able to harvest.. After all, there were capable people among the ma.s.ses!
