She had heard about Beihuan's predicament from her mentor Bambu many years ago.
Although Beihuan also practiced farming, the land and climate of Beihuan determined that many crops could not be grown.
It’s not that the Beihuan people don’t like eating rice and noodles.
But there are simply not many places in Beihuan suitable for growing rice and wheat.
The output of Yuanmai is pitifully low.
Therefore, Beihuan often could not withstand natural disasters.
Once a plague occurs and causes the death of a large number of livestock, it will take a long time for Beihuan to recover.
It is precisely because of these restrictions that Beihuan is vast and sparsely populated.
All in all, Beihuan's territory is much larger than Dagan's.
If everyone in Beihuan could have enough to eat and every household could live and work in peace and contentment, Beihuan's population would have increased a lot!
...
...
"Okay, stop thinking about the potatoes."
Yun Zheng was speechless. "There are so many things that taste better than sweet potatoes! I say the same to you. With so much land, wouldn't it be better to raise some chickens and ducks? If you have tens of thousands of chickens and ducks, what are locusts?"
In the past life, weren’t there people who specialized in driving away chickens and ducks and killing locusts?
The chickens and ducks are fattened, and the locusts are eliminated, how great!
Without a stable food source, their population certainly cannot grow!
"You think it's easy!"
Jia Yao snorted, "We don't have any food to eat, so why do we raise chickens and ducks? Do chickens and ducks eat grass all day? Aren't there a lot of pig farmers in Dagan Pass? Why don't you raise a lot of pigs in Shuobei?"
Cattle, sheep and horses are raised on the grassland because they all eat grass!
Although chickens and ducks also eat grass, they can’t eat grass all the time, right?
If it were as easy as Yun Zheng thought, the vast land of Beihuan would have been filled with chickens and ducks long ago!
"Okay! Okay! I'll let you know that I'm not thinking."
Yun Zheng smiled calmly, "However, as far as I know, there are still many crops suitable for planting in Beihuan, but you just haven't found them yet!"
Not to mention other things, just take beets as an example. As long as Beihuan can find them and grow them in large quantities, he will definitely get rich quickly.
"What's the point of saying this now?"
Jia Yao sighed bitterly, and stared at Yun Zheng with burning eyes, "Let's put aside our calculations and make a gentleman's agreement, okay?"
"What gentleman's agreement?" Yun Zheng asked with interest.
Jia Yao's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said in a deep voice: "I, Beihuan, sincerely submit, but you don't take the initiative to destroy Beihuan! In the future, if the national integration you mentioned is really unavoidable, then I accept it!"
"OK!"
Yun Zheng readily agreed, "Believe me, when Beihuan truly surrenders, what we gain will definitely be more than what we lose! Look at my vassal states in the south, which one is not living better than before?"
He had never thought of completely destroying Beihuan by force.
Beihuan is so big. If the people of Beihuan are determined to escape, or even abandon Beihuan’s territory, it is impossible for him to chase them and kill them all!
To destroy the Northern Huan, one must use a soft strategy and gradually erode the hearts of the people.
"Okay! I believe you!"
Jia Yao stared at Yun Zheng with scorching eyes: "But please remember, if you break your promise, I will do whatever it takes to kill you, regardless of the consequences! Even if it means dying with you!"
"good!"
Yun Zheng didn't care. "I also ask you to remember that I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes! If Beihuan dares to have second thoughts, I will do my best to make Beihuan people disappear from the world completely!"
Both of them stated their bottom line.
This is considered to be open and honest!
Jia Yao sighed weakly and nodded seriously.
She was indeed shocked by the unknown weapon today.
She couldn't imagine the consequences if Yun Zheng used that kind of weapon on the battlefield.
After a long silence, Jia Yao said to Yun Zheng: "The old man came from a country called Latuya. That country is very far away from us. It took them a full ten years just to build a ship that can sail far away..."
Afterwards, Jia Yao told Yun Zheng in detail about the country where the old man was.
Judging from the old man’s description, Latuya should not be as rich as Dagan, and its productivity should not be as good as Dagan.
However, the people of Latoya seem to be more adventurous.
They have been exploring the world at the end of the vast ocean.
Before that old man, someone had already started doing this.
But those people have never returned for many years and must have been buried in the vast ocean.
According to the old man, they had been sailing on the ocean for several years and had been to many places that Jia Yaoting had never heard of.
The old man said that the world is very big.
But the old man couldn't tell exactly how old it was.
Because he has not reached every corner of this world.
After saying this, Jia Yao reminded him seriously: "If you want to send people out to sea to find Latuya, I advise you to build a huge ship that can withstand the wind and waves."
"good!"
Yun Zheng smiled.
He definitely knows more about the dangers of the ocean than Jia Yao.
He estimated that it was basically impossible to carry out a round-the-world voyage without the advanced shipbuilding technology.
But there are basically no major problems when traveling around the neighboring countries.
Dagan at least has a navy, although its navy is not very good.
Send someone out first!
Get as much back as you can.
While Yun Zheng was thinking, Jia Yao suddenly let out a long breath and said faintly: "If you had let me see what happened today when you were in Shuofang, it would have been great..."
If she had seen it at that time, she would probably have taken the initiative to propose marriage.
If the marriage had taken place at that time, there would not have been a series of defeats later.
If the marriage had taken place at that time, how could Beihuan have fallen to this point?
And maybe she and Yun Zheng could really be like a real couple?
After taking so many detours, so many deaths, and the loss of so much land, in the end, they still had to resort to marriage.
It was as if God was playing a huge joke on her.
But now, even if she got married, even if she and Yun Zheng slept in the same bed, they were just sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.
She knew that her father and brother had both died on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, a fight to the death is the most normal thing.
But she still hates Yun Zheng.
Some things just can't be explained.
"Maybe!"
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "But at that time, many things were beyond your control."
"right!"
Jia Yao smiled noncommittally, and said with relief: "I won't play those little tricks on you again, and I will be myself again!"
"That's good." Yun Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and stood up and said, "Okay, then you can have a good rest! If you want to go somewhere else, you can also tell me."
Jia Yao nodded.
Yun Zheng glanced at Jia Yao, then turned and walked out.
"Yun Zheng!"
Jia Yao suddenly stood up and called Yun Zheng.
"Anything else?"
Yun Zheng turned around.
Jia Yao clenched her fists tightly and a brilliant smile appeared on her face.
"We will soon be an officially married couple!"
"You're right, we should just maintain the name of husband and wife!"
"You'd better pray that you don't fall in love with me, let alone let me fall in love with you!"
"Otherwise, I will commit suicide in front of you and make you feel guilty for the rest of your life!"
Jia Yao said the cruelest words with the brightest smile.
Yun Zheng paused for a moment and nodded heavily...
