"Ignorant kid, you're only Earl Yao, a little kid from Gold Crow Clan. How can you interrupt such a big thing?" Gong Sun Sword shouted harshly, directly pressuring Ji Hao based on his experience and the power of Gold Crow Clan.
Gong Sun Sword was rude and unreasonable. While yelling, a strong sword power surged out of his body and released a strong, invisible sword intent towards Ji Hao. If Emperor Shun wasn't here, and so many leaders of the alliance of human clans had their eyes fixed on Ji Hao, Gong Sun Sword's sword intent might have already landed on Ji Hao's body.
"Earl Yao, your Yao Mountain territory is just a new territory. How much food can you store within a couple of years?" As for Suiren Flame, he grinningly put on a friendly face and criticized Ji Hao, "Even if you plunder the entire Yao Mountain territory, can you get enough food to feed the people in Pu Ban City for a whole day?"
Sighing slightly, Suiren Flame turned around, smiled to the group of human leaders in the hall and said, "Earl Yao is still too young, and not mature enough. If he were to offer up all of his rations, would he starve his people to death? "
Standing behind Si Wen Ming, Yi Di, who was also selected by Ten Sun Country to compete for the flood-control mission, sneered and said, "It's hard to say. If some people want to climb up the social ladder, they should flatter some people as soon as possible … To some people, people are nothing but lowly peasants. So what if they all die? Can their future ever be more important than their own? "
Yi Di's words were harsh. He meant that Ji Hao didn't care about the lives of his people in order to flatter Si Wen Ming.
Even worse, Yi Di implied that Si Wen Ming didn't care about the lives of Ji Hao's people either, and silently allowed Ji Hao to give out all the food stored in his territory for the flood-control mission!
If everyone believed Yi Di's words, not only would Ji Hao's reputation be ruined, even Si Wen Ming would be disgraced. A leader who didn't care about the lives of his own people in order to climb up the social ladder would have no future in the alliance of human clans.
Standing side by side with Yi Di, Yi Ren, who was also selected by Ten Sun Country to compete for the flood-control mission, sneered, threw a sideway glance at Yi Di and said, "My words may sound harsh, but I have to say, Earl Yao Ji Hao, what you did is wrong!"
Yi Di and Yi Ren threw a threatening glance at each other. Invisible sword intents clashed against each other and caused a buzzing noise in the hall. Both of them quivered, and hundreds of feathers on their feather cloaks were shattered. Fine feathers flew all over the hall.
Ji Hao smiled. All large clans and families had chosen only one candidate to compete for the flood-control mission, because they were trying their best to ensure that one of them would be chosen. The Ten Sun Country was the only country in the Eastern Wasteland. Most of the clans in the Eastern Wasteland obeyed their orders. Relying on their great power, the Ten Sun Country actually elected two people to compete for the power of the flood-control mission.
From this, it could be seen that the internal conflicts of the Ten Sun Country were not small.
Smiling faintly, Ji Hao continued leisurely, "You two, you should sort out your own affairs first, then you can question me."
The looks of Yi Di and Yi Ren changed simultaneously. They glanced at each other, with an inexhaustible intent of killing surging out from their eyes.
With the great power of Ten Sun Country, if the Ten Sun Country supported one of them with all its power, they would have a fifty percent chance to defeat the other candidates and smoothly attain the flood-control mission. In the future, with the credit they earned from the flood-control mission, they would certainly become human emperors.
But now, Ten Sun Country chose the two of them, which meant that the power of each of them would have to be divided into half. Imperceptibly, the chance of them being chosen had been reduced by a big half. In their eyes, the Ten Sun Country was their sworn enemy, and this was clearly killing their hope of becoming human emperors!
Ji Hao's words aroused the fire of anger in their hearts. They even wanted to kill each other right on the spot.
Suiren Flame gave a faint smile, slightly waved his hand and said, "Ah, Earl Yao seems to have a different opinion? Earl Yao, do you have a good solution to solve the food crisis in Pu Ban City? If so, Earl Yao's credit would be indescribably great. "
Ji Hao gave a faint smile as well, then turned around, looked at Suiren Flame and said blandly, "Indeed, I have a solution to solve the food crisis in Pu Ban City. If done well, the other families and clans can still obtain food from Pu Ban City … Our people may not have to starve, and they can concentrate on the flood-control mission! "
Gong Sun Sword, Suiren Flame and the other leaders paused briefly, then shook their heads simultaneously.
What a joke! Could Pu Ban City really provide food to all families and clans? Before, Pu Ban City could still be self-sufficient. But now, it was filled with disaster victims. Even if they could collect food from all families and clans, they could never feed everyone!
Ji Hao said that Pu Ban City could still provide food to all families and clans? What a joke!
Emperor Shun shook his head as well. Looking at Ji Hao, he sighed slightly in his head, but didn't say anything. In his eyes, Ji Hao might be too eager to help Si Wen Ming. Therefore, he didn't choose his words carefully.
Si Wen Ming was the only one who had full confidence in Ji Hao. All this time, Ji Hao's growth speed and all kinds of magical abilities had shocked Si Wen Ming. This time, Si Wen Ming believed that Ji Hao wasn't talking nonsense, and he must have found a good solution.
"Ji Hao, tell me about your solution!" Si Wen Ming looked at Ji Hao with trust and said gently and kindly, "Tell me how to solve this big problem. If you can truly find a solution, you will be the greatest contributor in this flood-control mission! "
Ji Hao smiled faintly and responded with a deep voice, "Uncle Wen Ming, my solution is simple. Although countless disaster victims have flooded into Pu Ban City, there is still a large number of mountainous areas … With the power of our Senior Magi, we can easily open up those mountainous areas and turn them into farmlands to grow crops!"
Si Wen Ming's face froze. He laughed embarrassedly, but couldn't say a word.
The other human leaders in the hall paused as well. Then, countless of them cursed Ji Hao out together.
Suiren Flame was the first one to jump out. He pointed at Ji Hao and yelled, "Ji Hao, as Earl Yao, what have you done? Do you know anything about mulberry farming or not? With soil, farmlands, irrigation, and enough sunlight, those crops can grow! "
Conveniently pointing at the roof of the hall, Suiren Flame continued with a tone that was thirty percent proud and seventy percent vicious, "Now, the sky is covered in dark clouds, and water-kind creatures have been raising waves. The whole world is dark, without a single beam of sunlight. Growing crops? Easy for you to say! "
Standing aside, Gong Sun Sword said blandly, "I'm afraid that Earl Yao has never dealt with mulberry farming. You don't even know what crops look like, do you?"
Countless human leaders angrily stared at Ji Hao, their eyes filled with hostility. Even those princes, earls, and marquises, who used to be friends with Ji Hao, were now looking at Ji Hao with disappointment.
An earl who didn't even know the basic needs of mulberry farming … Ji Hao couldn't even be counted as a qualified marquis.
Emperor Shun shook his head in disappointment as well. Who didn't know how to grow crops? But without sunlight, no matter what you grew, you couldn't survive!
Sighing slightly, Emperor Shun prepared to say something, but Ji Hao said something shocking, "I have a sun here … Although it's much smaller than the sun in Pan Gu world, it's enough to illuminate the entire Pu Ban City, and even the surrounding areas!"
Once Ji Hao said this, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence!
