"Last year the grass wasn't growing well, and this year we're having the same issues. We don't have enough grain in our country, and we're still counting on exchanging wool for grain."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have already collected a lot of wool. If a war breaks out suddenly, won't all our wool be wasted?"
Li Yingxiao finally understood what was going on. In the final analysis, these people just didn't want to fight, because even if they didn't fight, they could still eat their fill.
Most of the time, nomadic peoples went south to plunder because they suffered disasters at home and could not survive without plundering.
But if you can live a comfortable life without robbing, with little meat to eat, little wine to drink, little dance to watch, and little girls to sleep with every day... ahem, who would want to go out and risk their life in such a life?

They are now making a lot of money by collecting business taxes and making money. Will he allow you to go to war?
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, someone stepped forward and bowed to Li Yingxiao, saying, "Your Majesty, the envoy from the Arab Empire sent a message a few days ago. He said they are willing to pay double the price for perfume, silk, and tea. They will take as much as you can!"
"Come here, quickly prepare the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I need to personally write a letter to my father and brother Li Zhuo!"
