Zhao Hao blinked twice: "What else? How simple!"

Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath and suddenly had an urge to strangle Zhao Hao to death.

Zhao Hao was shocked when he saw this: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with my method?"

Jiang Wan'er rolled her eyes at him: "You still know there's a problem?"

"Since the Kingdom of Yue has sent out 100,000 troops to the grassland to protect the trade routes, the border cities are also of top priority. How can we not make full preparations?"

"You make it sound so easy. If the city is yours, can you just attack it if you want?"

Zhao Hao immediately pursed his lips and was speechless: "No... forget it for now, and think of other ways!"

Jiang Wan'er shook her head slightly, sighed, and said, "But time waits for no one."

"With the support of Yue, the wild country will recover very quickly."

"If we let them get bigger, all our previous efforts will be in vain!"

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I think... you are too pessimistic about things."

Jiang Wan'er's eyes flashed when she heard this: "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Hao said: "In my opinion, first of all, the Kingdom of Yue will never be completely sincere in allowing the wilderness to recover its vitality."

"From the perspective of Yue, it can help Huangman regain some strength, to the point where he can contain my great efforts."

"But it cannot be fully restored, so that there will be no substantial threat to the Kingdom of Yue."

"On the other hand, once the wilderness fully recovers, will Yue Kingdom really not be afraid?"

"I think they must be scared to death!"

Jiang Wan'er nodded slightly and said, "Go on."

Zhao Hao nodded and continued, "Secondly, we have been dealing with the barbarians for more than a hundred years."

"We have suffered losses, and the barbarians have suffered losses as well."

"Your Majesty, why don't you think about this? What does Huang Man really rely on to recover his vitality every time?"

Jiang Wan'er's eyes moved and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Don't say.

Suddenly, she couldn't find a completely accurate answer to this question.

What can I really rely on to regain my vitality...

Relying on the stubborn nature of the barbarians, which is like weeds and cannot be killed or destroyed?

Relying on the character that seems to be hidden in their bones, never content, and only wants to invade and expand?

Or is it because of the rapid reproduction rate of the people on the grassland?

These all seem to be correct.

but.

But neither seems quite right.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head, looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Tell me, what is the specific reason?"

She really wanted to know the answer in Zhao Hao's mind.

Zhao Hao did not keep the secret and said immediately: "The answer is actually very simple."

"It's not their character or anything else."

"There is only one reason."

"Those are the cattle and sheep of the tribes in southern Mo."

Jiang Wan'er was greatly surprised when she heard this.

Very shocked.

Zhao Hao didn't even mention anyone.

Rather, it refers to cattle, sheep and other livestock.

How is this possible?

A country, a force, an ethnic group...

Strong or weak.

Aren’t people the most important?

How could they be cattle, sheep or other livestock?

He could see Jiang Wan'er's confusion and the deep surprise in her eyes.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile.

This time, he is going to pretend again.

After pretending to cough twice, Zhao Hao said softly, "Your Majesty, are you confused?"

Jiang Wan'er did not hide anything and nodded honestly.

"Your answer is beyond my expectation."

"Can you tell me in detail, why cattle and sheep?"

Zhao Hao said calmly: "It's very simple. The barbarians live on the grasslands and make a living by herding cattle and sheep."

"Just like us people in the Central Plains, who have been cultivating farmland for generations."

"Therefore, there is a common old saying among all the countries in the Central Plains: food is the first necessity of the people."

“Therefore, as generations and dynasties changed, the most important thing was the land.”

"If the people have land, the country will be stable."

"However, as time went on, the population of the prosperous times gradually increased, and the wealthy and powerful families annexed land."

"As the land in the hands of more and more people gradually becomes less and less, the foundation of the country will no longer be stable."

"At that time, no matter how many people there were, it was useless."

"Conversely, it's the same in the wilderness."

“Cattle and sheep, that is, the land in the hands of the barbarians.”

"Once they lose their cattle and sheep, they will be devastated for a long time."

"Your Majesty, why don't you think about it, how long does it take for a sheep or a cow to grow up?"

"I made a rough estimate. The number of cattle, sheep, and horses in the entire wilderness is at least over tens of millions."

"It is precisely because they have so many livestock that even if they are beaten badly by us, they can recover in a dozen or twenty years, or even a generation."

"But once they lose these cattle, sheep and horses, they will be left without food."

"Then the recovery rate of the population will be infinitely slowed down."

"No matter how many children you give birth to, if you don't have food or water, they will eventually starve to death."

“Therefore, if they want to recover, it will take more than ten or twenty years.”

“Even if it takes thirty or fifty years, it may not be possible to recover.”

"That's why I said that cattle, sheep and livestock are their capital!"
