"The Farmer's Fat Wife": Fat Men Are All Potential Stocks (The End)...

People are like crops; each generation may seem similar, but they are actually quite different. The total amount of new energy constantly replaces the old.

When the newly sprouted seedlings completely replace the old ones, from the perspective of human will above all else, the world has actually changed.

Hua Chengsi and Han Jiaonu led a group of people galloping across the Gobi Desert, extremely happy.

In the present day, the customs of the Kingdom of Qingmu have naturally changed drastically. The women are now mostly fierce and enjoy riding horses, hunting, and wandering around.

Men in the country are generally modest and conservative. In the Kingdom of Aoki, procreation is the most important task. Horse riding is an activity that severely damages a man's fertility. Before offering a child, they rarely engage in such a dangerous activity.

As for why there was such a big change, decades have passed, and Hua Chengsi, who was a young girl back then, is now over forty and a mother of two.

Before we knew it, three generations had passed, and the old crops would naturally be covered by the new ones.

When Marquis Anle sent his daughter to Huaizhou as a hostage, it was not a good business. However, the daughter and the heir were about the same age and were young and ambitious. They quickly became friends for various reasons and were inseparable.

Back then, the two of them were young and had inexhaustible energy; now, they've reached the age of lamenting the fleeting nature of time.

Hua Chengsi's aunt used the promise of passing the throne to her mother to keep her working hard for her. As a result, the aunt was over eighty years old and still very vigorous.

Her mother gradually realized that she had been caught in a huge scam, but by then it was too late. Her aunt was already eighty years old, so how much younger could her mother be?

The once fresh-faced Hua Chengsi is now over fifty years old, and it's uncertain whether he will be able to succeed to the throne in this lifetime.

Forget it, Hua Chengsi was too lazy to stay at home staring at such a narrow pot, so he asked his aunt for permission to be stationed in the north.

Hua Chengsi's aunt was not a stingy person; she directly bestowed upon her the title of Prince of Yan, ordering her to guard the border and expand the territory.

Hua Chengsi had been hanging out with his aunt in the army since he was a child, and was quite used to life on horseback. Going out to lead troops suited her just fine, and she happily ran off.

The principle remains the same: it's not necessarily difficult for outsiders to conquer a unified dynasty, but it certainly requires a great deal of effort to conquer a local vassal king.

Because ancient feudal dynasties had an irreconcilable contradiction: the court's control was limited and relied entirely on rule by men, but people's hearts are unpredictable.

When power is concentrated in the central government, the system is stable, but the border regions are weak. When power is concentrated in the border towns, the border towns are strong, and the border troops are prone to rebellion.

Now is the perfect time. Emperor Aoki's army rises up, sword and spear in hand, step by step, camp by camp, to quell the chaos and usher in a golden age.

Her civil and military achievements were unparalleled in her time, her prestige among the people was unimaginable, and her power in the court and among the people was unmatched. Since virtually no one could challenge her, she was confident that she could relinquish power.

This emperor, who held immense power, was still childless and had already designated Hua Chengsi's mother as the crown prince to ensure the succession.

First of all, the court officials would not be under pressure to take sides. No matter how strong Emperor Aoki is, she will die eventually, and the throne will eventually be passed to a younger person. It is clear who to build good relations with in advance.

Having a child to inherit the throne is not a lie, after all, people really do grow old and die. Hua Qiyue was willing to endure the pain of childbirth, so she should naturally taste the sweetness of succession.

In the matriarchal Aoki Kingdom, there is no adoption system similar to that of male societies. In the minds of the Aoki people, rights and responsibilities are inherently linked, and the benefits of inheritance require the sacrifice of childbirth.

Inheritance rights are tied to the cost of childbirth. Women in the Kingdom of Aoki may choose not to bear children, but they cannot steal other people's children. Freedom and inheritance must be traded from the beginning, and the principle that men do not inherit their mothers' property is based on the same logic.

One cannot expect to reap the rewards of others' hard work without bearing the negative impacts of childbirth. Inheriting this behavior, which is based on the continuation of human life, is inevitably tied to contributions to childbirth.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of Qingmu, which believes in the power of procreation, Hua Qiyue risked childbirth to give birth to offspring and contribute to the continuation of the royal family. In everyone's eyes, she was a very legitimate heir, and no one could shake her position.

She only has two daughters, both born to the same mother. Not only are the benefits enough to be divided, but they also have a good relationship and there is no pressure from peers vying for her position.

Hua Chengsi held considerable military power in the north, so no one suspected her. It was unlikely that she would rebel or seize what was already destined for her.

No one knows why Aoki Teito didn't have children after becoming emperor. Most people feel sorry that he had to give such a good throne to his sister.

However, it was precisely because of this that Prince Hua Chengsi could peacefully serve as a prince on the frontier.

With her princes and absolute trust from the central government, she can freely allocate central resources, streamline the military and administration, and possess extremely strong combat capabilities, allowing the border to expand further and further.

Indeed, the territory he conquered himself truly belonged to him, and Hua Chengsi was extremely comfortable being the local tyrant in the Northern Territory.

The slogan of "Restoring the Mandate of Heaven to the Blue Wood Dynasty" was influential not only in the Central Plains dynasties but also in neighboring countries.

After all, here's a little-known fact: women exist all over the world, not just in the Central Plains dynasties.

Conquering territory and internalizing it might be a problem for others, but for the Aoki Kingdom, it's a matter of great advantage.

Every time Hua Chengsi conquered a territory, he would implement the Qingmu Kingdom's pro-women policy, spreading advanced reproductive technology and new ideas to the local women.

People in the old days always said that women were not suitable for holding power because of the medical conditions in ancient times. Women were prone to death during childbirth, so they were not suitable to be emperors, to join the army, or to do anything that was profitable.

But once men are in power, women can marry at thirteen and have a child regardless of their physical condition to continue their "value." They can give birth from the moment they start menstruating until they die, and they can have children while farming. Then there's absolutely no problem. Let them die as many times as they want.

Under such extreme patriarchal conditions, women, living and dying simultaneously, still managed to perpetuate humanity, albeit with great difficulty. They are truly resilient and have a thick skin.

However, having high HP doesn't mean you don't feel pain, and having an invincibility cheat doesn't mean you like being beaten. Even a Hu woman can sense the benefits of the new ruler and the paradox of the old ideas.

So goodbye, goodbye, the women of the North are going to rebel too.

Perhaps people idolize violence too much, and thus easily form a weak first impression of the camp that represents "life".

But what can resist the penetration of life? When new grass grows all over again, can we still see the old earth?

As a fertile ground that continuously produces new life, gathering women is equivalent to controlling a vital source of life. Over several generations, the children who grow up in the North gradually develop a stronger sense of belonging to the Greenwood Dynasty.

Hua Chengsi has her own think tank, which is responsible for pacifying the people in the northern border, developing agriculture and animal husbandry according to local conditions, and introducing advanced seeds and agricultural technology from the Qingmu Kingdom.

The canal has been under construction, connecting the north and south, facilitating irrigation for the northern residents, and improving their lives.

In this way, what is the point of rebelling? When the grassland tribes come to attack, the northern people will spontaneously resist, and Hua Chengsi's army is full of barbarian generals.

The original grassland tribes underestimated their enemy, thinking that an army of women was nothing to be afraid of.

They were gradually conquered and internalized by this army of women, and only then did they realize the terror of this army that could take root wherever it landed.

Gradually, when they expressed contempt for women from enemy countries in their own country, they no longer received simple praise and agreement, but rather the anger of their own country's women.

If there's no comparison, then it's fine; everyone else is bad, so being a little better than the bad is considered good.

If there's one that's particularly good, then everyone will naturally compare it to what kind of life they're living.

The women of Aoki Province would definitely not be the first to react to insults.

Therefore, after the original Khan of the steppe kingdom died, the new ruler was Empress Dowager Hu Rong, who ascended the throne with her young son.

As a land of old laws, it was difficult for her to betray the source of her power, but it was also difficult for Emperor Qingmu of Qingmu Kingdom not to inspire her.

After taking office, she immediately began to learn from the practices of the Kingdom of Qingmu, opened up the selection of female officials, and improved the treatment of women.

Surprisingly, it was her appeasement policy that halted Hua Chengsi's unstoppable northward advance, causing Hua Chengsi to grit his teeth in frustration.

Seeing this, Ye Xiqing from the capital sent an imperial edict: do not be greedy for credit, each generation has its own tasks.

If you feel blocked, it means you've hit your limit. Focus on managing the territory you've conquered; digesting it is more important than consuming it.

Next, it will be the next generation's stage.

The young Hua Chengsi was naturally unwilling, but time flies, and in the blink of an eye, she has grown old.

A person's age doesn't lie; the vigor of the past naturally dissipates as physical functions decline.

Hua Chengsi has now learned to be honest and can rest assured to maintain the status quo.

Overall, Hua Chengsi lived a very carefree life in the north, where she could achieve great things and no one bothered her.

She had grown accustomed to this life when suddenly, her subordinates rushed over, seemingly in a great hurry, with an urgent message from the capital ordering her to return immediately!

For families with elderly members, nothing is more terrifying than being suddenly called home. Hua Chengsi instantly had a bad feeling, his face changed drastically, and he quickly changed course and returned to the capital.

The Hua family is probably the royal family with the most ordinary family relationships. The family members have a very good relationship. Whether it is her biological mother or her aunt who is in trouble, Hua Chengsi finds it difficult to accept emotionally, so he is really anxious.

But as soon as she entered the house, her aunt stood there, towering like a mountain.

Looking to the side, her mother also lived a decisive and efficient life, without a trace of despondency.

The Hua family members are all in good physical condition. Her aunt, in her seventies or eighties, can still draw a three-stone bow, and her mother, despite her advanced age, still insists on winter swimming and practicing the Five Animal Frolics. She was unwilling to die before Ye Xiqing.

The two elderly people were still so healthy, leaving Hua Chengsi, who had just had a false alarm, speechless: Why did you call her back in such a hurry! What if you scared her into having a heart attack!

In fact, Hua Qiyue didn't know what Ye Xiqing wanted to do, and no one knew what Ye Xiqing wanted to do.

Once everyone had gathered, Ye Xiqing announced the answer: "If you don't want to be emperor anymore, which of you, mother and son, wants to be emperor?"

Hua Qiyue: ...

Hua Chengsi: ...

ah?

...

Ye Xiqing is always unpredictable; no one can anticipate her actions, not even the system. Before she even left the world, she had already abdicated.

The system couldn't help but express its anxiety again: "Once you leave, the tea grows cold. Are you sure that after you step down, the Hua family will still treat you the same as before?"

Ye Xiqing was speechless: "So, have you decided to give me an immortality cheat?"

system:……

Ye Xiqing couldn't help but roll her eyes as he spouted random nonsense. Anyway, it was almost the end of the live stream, so there was no need to bother maintaining an image.

Retiring at eighty was beyond Ye Xiqing's limit. If it weren't for the fact that working as an emperor was different from other jobs, she wouldn't have been willing to do it.

But you know what, it's no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor; it really is a unique experience.

You get tired of doing the same thing for decades. After all these years, you no longer like the food you used to love, the flattery you used to hear, or the games you used to play.

Ye Xiqing is someone who gets bored easily, and she plans to do something else with the rest of her time.

Before abdicating, she ordered the construction of several large ships in Huaizhou Port, equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, to set sail at sea in the final moments of her life.

Now that everything in this world has been done, let's embark on a voyage to prove that the Earth is round.

Everyone: Huh?

Hua Qiyue and Hua Sanyue had many conflicts when they were young, but when their common mother passed away, their old world suddenly collapsed.

Everything that my mother had taken for granted suddenly brought a touch of regretful loneliness. In an instant, the two of them were very close, as if their bloodlines had begun to reconnect the moment my mother passed away.

Now that Ye Xiqing has abandoned the throne and embarked on a perilous journey at sea, her feeling is not one of relief, but rather: "Are you crazy?"

Ye Xiqing glared at him. What? He dared to boss her around right after stepping down?

Hua Qiyue: ...

Hua Qiyue's good intentions were completely ignored by Ye Xiqing, who showed no gratitude and continued to prepare for her seafaring adventure.

Her crew did not recruit young people, but rather a group of old women who were old but perhaps still had dreams and were not afraid of death.

This fleet will not return once it sets sail; be prepared to abandon everything before setting off again.

The recruitment conditions were quite bizarre, but people actually signed up, and in the end, three hundred people were selected to form this Twilight Fleet.

Of the three hundred people who started the uprising with Ye Xiqing, Lin Xiaofu was the youngest and one of the few who survived.

Ye Xiqing had no penchant for killing meritorious officials, and the original military groups generally met a peaceful end. However, she lived to be eighty, and it was difficult for those people to avoid dying of old age.

Lin Xiaofu is naturally unconventional and loves strange tales, but she is bound by officialdom. Now that she has this opportunity, she will naturally join immediately.

Ye Xiqing gathered the crew together, gave them some training, and then they set off!

After being suspended for so many years, Hua Qiyue was bound to become emperor at some point, but he abdicated after only a few years and passed the throne to Hua Chengsi, hoping for Ye Xiqing's reply every day.

Replies were still few; the ocean, more vast than the earth, was enough to swallow up all connections.

Ye Xiqing and her group sailed eastward. At each port they stopped at, if there were Qingmu merchants, they would have them deliver a reply; if there were no Qingmu merchants, they would give the reply to the local explorers.

If you are fortunate enough to find that great Eastern country, deliver the letter to their king, and you will be treated to a good meal.

However, as they went further and further away, the old news became less and less frequent.

This group of old women would go ashore whenever they encountered a shore, rob pirates when they came across them, and exchange goods with the locals, do business, and make huge fortunes in preparation for their next voyage.

Sometimes, one can even use the identity of a foreign king to freeload off the local royal family.

If anyone's health deteriorates, stay on land a little longer. If you encounter a local orphan girl while stopping, adopt her. Anyone willing to defect with them is also welcome to join.

The original sisters slowly died, but the number of crew members did not decrease; people kept joining the journey.

More than ten years have passed since then, and Ye Xiqing has lost track of where she went. If she hasn't gone astray, she should be able to complete a full circle soon.

However, the Twilight explores a more philosophical question than the question of whether the Earth is round.

That means every part of the ship has been replaced, and even the crew has been changed. Is it still the same ship?

The new captain, Red-Haired Maga, entered the cabin. The orphan girl he had taken in halfway through the journey was like an angel when she was young. After giving birth to a child, she quickly turned into a robust woman in middle age.

People cannot see their own appearance through anything other than a mirror, so they tend to be more critical of others, something Ye Xiqing has always regretted.

But it must be admitted that Maga looks really reliable now, so Ye Xiqing handed her the unique gold coin that symbolized her status as a king.

"My voyage ends here. All the original members of this fleet have passed away. You and the rest of you no longer need to carry on our will."

"From now on, you can either return the way you came or keep moving forward, so that this gold coin can return to its original place."

"It's hard to believe, but our home is right in front of you."

Everyone who boarded the ship knew that their core objective was to prove that the Earth was round and to travel in a straight line back to Granny Qing's hometown.

But for most people, the companions on the journey are more important than the destination.

Maga's eyes were a little red. Even though he was used to death at sea, it was still sad when death actually came.

Continuing the will of the deceased is more important than grieving for their death. Maga took the gold coin and said firmly, "I will definitely reach that place!"

Her eyes were filled with unwavering conviction and an ambitious determination to succeed. Ye Xiqing was finally relieved and placed the gold coins in her hand.

That exceptionally beautiful gold coin passed from one person's hand to another's, and no one questioned the promise.

But what arrived at the origin even before the ship was the world. In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiqing was standing in the system space.

Alas, the world is still a cut above the rest.

Author's note: Qingqing: I just wanted to prove that the earth is round. Is that too much to ask, world?

world:……

You really have no idea how long you're going to live, do you?

Alright, the author is back. This vacation has been getting more and more decadent. If I don't straighten up soon, I feel like I'm going to collapse [laughing and crying with face covered].

Although reason tells the author that once the last world is finished, anything goes, the author still finds himself in a state where anything is interesting except writing [laughing and crying emoji].

When writing a new book, the author must prepare a lot of drafts to avoid making the same mistakes again [laughing and crying with face covered].

I'll be giving out red envelopes in the comments section of this chapter as a way of absolving myself of guilt, hehe [doge emoji].

Same as always, it will be released at 9 AM the next day.
