"How did you conduct this competition?"
"If I lose, is there any punishment?"
"Will you really give me one thousand taels of silver?"
"Let me do it! I'm the best eater at home!"
"I can eat ten bowls of rice in one meal!!"
…
The people were chattering and gathered around the arena.
The Wuxin general took out a contract and said, "If you want to compete with me, you have to sign this first!"
"If you lose, there will naturally be a punishment, but don't worry, we won't take your money. The rules are all written here."
Someone took the contract he handed over, took a look at it, and immediately frowned. "If you lose, you will become a citizen of Wuxin Country? What kind of country is Wuxin Country? I've never heard of it!"
"Is he crazy? Is this guy crazy? Why can his Wuxin Kingdom compare with the Yuan Kingdom?"
"Nowadays, many people want to become citizens of Yuan Kingdom but can't, yet he wants us to become citizens of Wuxin Kingdom. This person probably wants to become a citizen of Yuan Kingdom himself, right? He must be doing it on purpose!"
"I don't have to participate in this lousy arena."
"Go away, go away, this is bullshit!"
"I don't want to lose my chance to become a citizen of the Yuan Kingdom by competing in a competition like this!"
"Our Yuan Kingdom is so great, how can a country he has never even heard of compare with our Yuan Kingdom?"
"That's right! It's funny, right?"
The people of Yuan Dynasty dispersed one after another, and no one went up to the arena.
General Wuxin: ???
He was so angry that he put his hands on his hips. "What's wrong with our Wuxin Country?! What! Is wrong?! Why don't you tell me what's wrong with our Wuxin Country?! Tell me!!"
The people of the Yuan Dynasty were too lazy to pay attention to him and watched him break down.
"Why do you look down on our Heartless Nation so much? Why?!"
"Do you know how difficult and challenging our Wuxin Country is?!"
People of Yuan Dynasty: ...
"Life in your Wuxin Country is so difficult and so hard, so why should we go there?"
"Besides, the hardships and difficulties faced by your Wuxin Kingdom weren't caused by us. What does it have to do with us?"
"That's right, it's kind of funny!"
"Then tell me, what is good about your Wuxin Country?"
“Is it because taxes are low?”
"Will you take care of the people?"
"Will you provide assistance to civilians as soon as they are in distress?"
"Will they teach people how to grow rice and increase rice production?"
…
The people of Yuan asked three questions in a row, and the general of Wuxin was speechless for a moment, "The taxes are not that high... I think so..."
He doesn't consider these things. He is not a commoner and he doesn't have to pay taxes!
"As for the civilians being killed, our emperor will definitely send people over!"
As for how much disaster relief grain will eventually reach the people, that is none of the emperor’s business!
"Teaching the people to grow rice... is this even necessary?"
Can't the people plant rice themselves? If there is a way to increase rice production, why would we teach the people? If the people knew how to do it, and there would be no shortage of food in the future, who would still believe in the emperor?
If there really is such a method, the emperor must keep it well.
He also didn't believe that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty would tell the people about such a method. Wouldn't he be digging his own grave?
"What? What do you mean by 'should'? I don't think you understand at all!"
The people of the Yuan Kingdom rolled their eyes. "Of course we know how to grow rice, but we don't know how to increase rice production. But the emperor will send people to tell us! To guide us! Just this alone, I don't know how many times he surpasses the emperor!"
"That's right, if you don't even have this, what can your Wuxin Kingdom use to compare with the Yuan Kingdom?"
"Let's go, I don't want to waste time talking to him. He has never lived in a country as good as Yuan! He doesn't understand!"
General Wuxin: ???
Pooh!
I believed your lies. I don’t believe that the emperor of your Yuan Dynasty is so good!
"I just don't believe it. Is there really no one coming to compete with me?"
He waited for a whole day, but no one came.
The main reason why the people of Yuan Kingdom were reluctant to join was that if they failed, they would become citizens of Wuxin Kingdom.
He didn't expect that his plan would fail at the very beginning.
"I just don't believe it!"
The next day, the general of Wuxin Kingdom increased the victory reward, directly raising it to 10,000 taels of silver!
There is always a brave man under a huge reward.
He just didn't believe it. How could they all not be moved?
He waited for half a day and someone really came.
A citizen of the Yuan Kingdom called out to that person, "Yongzi, are you crazy? If you lose, you will become a citizen of the Wuxin Kingdom!"
"I know." Yongzi pursed his lips, "but my parents need this money."
"If I win, I can get this silver. If I lose, at worst I will be the only one to become a citizen of the Wuxin Kingdom. This ten thousand taels of silver is worth a try."
"You...ah!" The people were not in a position to persuade him any further. They all knew the situation of Yongzi's family. Yongzi had ten brothers and sisters. His father had recently broken his leg and could not go to work. Only his mother and these children were left to support the family.
But they don’t earn as much as their fathers!
I have an older brother who is in school, and going to school costs a lot of money.
Yongzi went up to the ring and said, "Come on, I'll sign it!"
He signed the contract and put his fingerprints on it.
The Wuxin Kingdom's general laughed heartily, "Okay, okay, then let's have a proper competition!"
Food was served one after another. Yongzi had heard about the fighting competition here yesterday and had not eaten, mainly because there was not enough food at home. He saved his share for his younger brothers and sisters.
