The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom's eyes lit up: "Xin Xin, are you talking about potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes?"
He had heard his sister mention that the Great Zhou Dynasty was now well-fed, all thanks to the Gu and Zhou families.
Gu Xin said she had found it and planned to try planting it, but I didn't expect it to yield results so quickly!
Gu Xin originally wanted these things to grow naturally, but in special circumstances, she could use some jade beads to help them grow faster.
Moreover, she didn't find many seeds at first because no one here recognized these things, and no one cared about them. They were scattered here and there, especially the corn, which was still hanging on the stalks and was almost eaten by insects. It took her several nights to get a big bag of corn seeds!
However, there will be even more when the harvest comes in April.
She can definitely motivate the local people to start farming.
When Cheng Huaijin got into trouble, the Great Zhou Dynasty was focused on domestic farming and hadn't implemented it nationwide, so Cheng Huaijin was unaware of it.
But he now completely trusts Gu Xin.
With this matter in mind, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom felt that he could temporarily put aside such troublesome issues.
Cheng Huaijin then brought up an idea: "Father, Xinxin, I recently chatted with Uncle Mo and Aunt Han, and they said that if we want to integrate the forces here, we should not only start with the various small tribes and countries, but also not give up on the Sand Bandits. There are many Sand Bandit gangs, not just their Shalong Gang. They are considered relatively large, with more than two hundred people, while many other gangs have only a hundred or a few dozen people. I also think what they said is feasible. We can start with a few dozen Sand Bandits."
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes, I wanted to say that before. These are also sources of power. Maybe the Yunhai Tribe is also eyeing them. We need to win them over to our side before the Yunhai Tribe does."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard: "So, you two are planning to openly snatch people from the Cloud Sea Tribe?"
After saying that, the King of Liusha chuckled: "Actually, since I left the city to go to various countries, I have already been competing with the Yunhai Tribe for people. Those who intend to leave will naturally not say anything, but those who do not intend to leave and are planning to stay may bring this up if they encounter the Yunhai Tribe."
Gu Xin said, "Uncle Jun, we're not afraid. The Yunhai Tribe's current focus is on several tribes with more troops than our Liusha Kingdom, not us. So, let's take advantage of this opportunity to rob them first. Even if we encounter people from the Yunhai Tribe, we'll just snatch them directly. If we can't, we won't let them report back. Let the Yunhai Tribe keep ignoring us, and then we'll quietly grow stronger. Ideally, after they've dealt with those major tribes, when they remember us, we'll have the ability to resist. Even if the final outcome isn't good, we'll make them suffer heavy losses, which will benefit the Great Zhou."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom pursed his lips: "Then Xin Xin, you'll have to make more medicine in the coming days. Although I agree to help you two help the Great Zhou, I don't want to sacrifice my people to benefit the Great Zhou."
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin stood up and bowed to the King of Liusha.
Gu Xin said, "Uncle Jun, don't worry. I am Princess Xin Xin of the Liusha Kingdom and a princess of the Great Zhou. I don't want to abandon any of the people of the Liusha Kingdom or the Great Zhou. I will prepare enough medicine for the wounds."
