The informant came to report: "It is said that the seedlings that appear by Tianci Lake have high yields and are easy to survive. After they are planted, a fruit can be cut into several pieces, and each piece can grow into a seedling on its own."

"As long as we serve you well, in a few years we, the fierce barbarians, will all have enough to eat!"

Chi'erga's temples twitched: "Where did you hear this nonsense?"

The informant replied: "The second prince bought Daxia's "Rhizome Planting Manual" from the border town. It is said to be very cheap. You can buy it for a few copper coins."

Chirga wanted to kill someone: "If you just buy a book and believe it, are they stupid?"

The informant said weakly: "This book was written by Princess Anning of Daxia. It is said that the border town became what it is today because of what she wrote in the book."

Chierga:......

Chi Eryan snorted coldly: "Even if it is true, how long will it take to grow enough fruits to feed all the fierce people? Are so many people just waiting for the seedlings to grow up and bear fruit?"

The informant swallowed: "Ah, that's not true. The second prince said that since seedlings can grow by the God-given lake, it means that the soil there is no longer the same as before."

"You don't have to wait for the seedlings to grow up, you can just buy the seeds from Daxia!"

He said: "So now, the land cultivated by the second prince and the people surrounds Tianci Lake."

Chierga remembered the sentence he heard most during the recent military conscription, and had the urge to vomit blood. The common people said——

"Why are you a soldier? Go farm!"

"Farming is safe and you can have enough to eat, but fighting to the death is just mindless!"

This limerick was naturally written by Xiaoxiao. There are NPCs who come and go without a trace. She wants to convey some news to Jihu, so it shouldn't be too easy.

For example, natural disasters occur because of betrayal; for example, God sends gifts because of the cessation of war; for example, there is no future in fighting and farming to support the family...

One or two sentences, one place or two places, may not be able to make Jihu fundamentally change.

But day after day, year after year, plus the sweet and fragrant sweet potatoes that go into your mouth, plus the live small fry that are expedited by the Great Wall Freight to Jihu, plus the faces of the people in Jihu are getting more and more... The more smiling faces…

Who wants to fight anymore?

Some ministers who learned about Jihu's changes were still worried: "If Jihu people are fed, clothed, and free from illness and disaster, won't they become a serious problem for me in Great Xia in the future?"

Ning An, who returned to Beijing to report on his work, had a cold face and said in a sarcastic tone: "Master Liu's words are funny, as if when the fierce barbarian learned to grow sweet potatoes, we Daxia have been stagnant."

"With the popularization of new rice, the reform of agricultural tools, the world's granary, and the smelting of iron tools, Daxia is rushing towards becoming more and more powerful. Even the fierce barbarians are full. Can they catch up?"

The emperor laughed loudly: "Ning Aiqing said it well!"

Zuo Yushi gritted his molars: "That's the case. Princess Anning and General Xiao privately decided to sell the seeds and fry to Jihu. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Rong Yan asked with a cold face: "According to Mr. Zuo's wishes, from now on, everyone must report to you first on whatever they want to do?"

Zuo Yushi bowed down and said, "At least we should report it to His Majesty and let His Majesty make a decision, right?"

The emperor said lazily: "I know."

Zuo Yushi looked up blankly: "Ah? What, when did it happen?"

After saying this, he knew he was going to suffer. Sure enough, the next moment he heard Rong Yan sneer: "What, Mr. Zuo is upset that he didn't report this matter to you first?"

Zuo Yushi quickly knelt down: "I don't dare!"

The emperor ignored him and just said to Rong Yan: "Lao San, tell these idiots the reason for your deal with Jihu again."

Rong Yan took the order.

"Jiehu suffered a natural disaster and the iron ore veins disappeared. This will inevitably cause the Jihu people to panic. Judging from their past actions, it is only a matter of time before they have their evil thoughts on Daxia again."

"The weather in our country has been good recently, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. We are not afraid of evil, but we are not warlike people either."

"The people have just recovered from years of war. If they are affected by this again, their morale will inevitably be low, and the new policies and laws that have just been implemented at a critical moment will also be greatly affected."

"If the Fierce Hu people are allowed to toss around the iron ore veins, whether they dig out the iron ore or not, it will only make them more anxious to send troops against Daxia because of the anxiety caused by the natural disaster."

"But now that the fierce barbarians are busy farming and raising fish, the idea of ​​​​moving troops has naturally faded away."

Zuo Yushi interrupted: "It's a joke. Can just a few fish fry in the fields change the warlike nature of the fierce Hu people?"

Rong Yan asked him: "I dare to ask Mr. Zuo, if you were given a choice, would you rather eat and drink without worries for a lifetime, or would you rather risk your life just to have enough to eat?"

Zuo Yushi still insisted: "But Jihu has three princes. Do they all choose to farm?"

Rong Yan smiled: "Of course not."

"But Mr. Zuo, isn't it a good thing for us in Daxia to have fierce civil strife?"

Busy with arguments and internal fighting, who has the time to think about scheming?

Besides, the man in charge of the army, Ji Hu, is the last person who wants to fight now.

As a famous fierce god, he used to be able to stop children from crying at night, but now he is hoeing the ground with bare feet.

It's not that he really changed his mind, it's...

"Do you know that this horse riding thing is evil?"

"When Chi Erjia and Chi Eryan told me that they wanted to attack Daxia, I was the first to raise my hand, but as soon as I stepped out of the tent, a goddamn dry thunder struck me on my toes!"

"Don't tell me this is a coincidence. The next morning, the water in Tianci Lake was inexplicably less than half. Such a big lake suddenly lost half of it. Can you imagine!"

"And as soon as I sent back the news of rejection, it rained heavily the next day, filling the lake again..."

If it were just one of them, people who heard it might think it was a coincidence, but with so many coincidences connected together, who wouldn’t be scared?

After talking about this painful incident, Chi Ernan quickly added: "At worst, when all these grains are grown, I will discuss with Chi Erjia Chi Eryan about attacking Daxia. At that time, we have strong soldiers, strong horses, and sufficient food and grass, but we can't fight. That Daxia..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another thunder in the sky. This time, in addition to Chi Ernan's toes, the thunder and lightning also took care of the vegetable seedlings that had just grown more than a foot long, and a small field was reduced to nothing.

Chi Ernan:......

Counselors:…

"Your Highness, why don't you just shut up."

Of course Xiaoxiao doesn't expect to scare Chi Ernan with just a few celestial phenomena, but as long as he is afraid and gives in, won't Daxia's development speed be as fast as that of Jihu?

If Ji Hu really doesn't know how to repent, how can he conquer Ji Hu's capital and realize the great unity of the world?

Xiaoxiao never said these thoughts to others, but Rong Yan, who knew her intentions well, explained them in the court.

"As long as we in Daxia are careful enough, and the current location and people are favorable, who can stop this growing wealth and power?"
