After arranging a place for the Jade Flood Dragon to live, Zhao Hai led the dragon out of the courtyard. It was now late autumn in the Mixed Spirit Continent. The surroundings were yellow and withered, there wasn't much scenery to see.
However, the Jade Flood Dragon was very happy to see this. He pushed the field and said, "This is the Mixed Spirit Continent? Didn't you say that there's very little land for farming? That many people don't have enough to eat and some even starve to death? I see that there's a lot of fields here. "
Zhao Hai gave the Jade Flood Dragon an angry look and said with disdain, "Fatty, you're worthy of being a Prince. You really don't know the hardships of the world. You only see that there's a lot of fields here, but you don't see how many people there are in the Mixed Spirit Continent. In the past, the people in the Mixed Spirit Continent really didn't have enough to eat. Every year, there would be people dying of hunger. This is because compared to the population of the Mixed Spirit Continent, there really isn't a lot of land for farming."
The Jade Flood Dragon looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Our Arctic Continent has even less land for farming. But didn't people starve to death?"
Zhao Hai looked at the Jade Flood Dragon and said, "It's easy for you to say that. How can the Arctic Continent be compared to this place? To put it bluntly, the Ice Ocean Continent was built on water, and there were countless fishes that could be caught. However, what did the Mixed Spirit Continent have? The land is barren and the fishing industry isn't developed. Everything is poor. In this case, it's natural that they don't have enough food to eat. "
The Jade Flood Dragon didn't care about what Zhao Hai said. He turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "Hey, how come you have such a big manor now? Are you swindling people again? "
Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, "Why would I need to swindle you? Look at who I am. I'm loved by everyone, I'm much more likable than a Fatty like you. Even your own family doesn't like you. I heard that your Prince's Mansion only has 20 people. Fatty, didn't you boast to me that your Imperial Father likes you a lot? How did he end up like this? "
Jade Flood Dragon coldly snorted and said, "This Prince is dedicated to the public and doesn't try to please others. Naturally, I won't make them happy. What's wrong with that? I'm no longer a Prince, so I'll be relying on you to support me."
"Get away from me. You're not my wife. Why should I raise you? Wouldn't I be looking for trouble if I fed you fat? "Zhao Hai scolded.
Yu Daban, Yu 'er, and Ying' er stared blankly at the two. They had never seen the Jade Flood Dragon talk to anyone like this. Moreover, they had never seen anyone talk to the Jade Flood Dragon like this before. The two seemed to be bickering with each other, but Yu Daban could hear the deep friendship between the two. The reason why they talked to each other like this was because they knew that the other party wouldn't get angry even if he talked to them like this. This was their friendship. Yu Daban didn't say anything.
At this time, Yu Daban understood why the Jade Flood Dragon trusted Zhao Hai so much. It was because Zhao Hai didn't regard him as one of the Five, but as a friend, a good friend. Yu Daban looked at the two bickering and couldn't help but smile.
At this time, several people came over from afar. They were carrying bundles of firewood on their backs. Before long, these people were chatting and laughing as they arrived in front of Yu Daban. When these people saw Yu Daban and the others, their expressions couldn't help but change. This made Yu Daban nervous. He knew that the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent didn't have a good impression of them. If they don't handle things well, they might even have a conflict.
"Jia Liu, where did you go?" Zhao Hai didn't seem to notice Yu Daban's expression. Instead, he spoke first.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, one of the people who were collecting firewood quickly saluted Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, we went to chop firewood. Did we disturb you?"
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Don't disturb me. Go and take the firewood home. These are my friends. They'll be living in the manor from now on. Go and tell the others that I'm leaving."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Jia Liu's gaze towards the Jade Flood Dragon changed. He smiled and said, "So you're Mister Zhao Hai's friends. Welcome, welcome. If you have any problems in the future, don't hesitate to look for me. I'll help you if I can. Mister, we'll be heading back first."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Go. Right, I haven't seen you go out hunting in the past few days. When are you going out to hunt? Let me know, I want to hunt some game as well."
"What are you talking about, Mister? If you want to eat game, just let us know. We'll bring it to you, you don't need to do it yourself. Mister can rest assured, I'll send some game to your home tomorrow."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Alright, there's no need to send it to my home. I don't lack food. If you go hunting tomorrow, I'll go with you."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Jia Liu immediately understood what Zhao Hai wanted to do. Because of this, Jia Liu immediately said, "Alright, if you go hunting tomorrow, I'll let Mister know. We'll go together." Then he bowed to Zhao Hai before he turned around and left with the others.
Zhao Hai looked at Jia Liu and smiled. He didn't say anything as he watched them leave. After Jia Liu and the others left, Jade Flood Dragon turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Old Zhao, I didn't expect you to be respected here. What happened? Did you treat their illness? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, they're in good health. I didn't need to treat them. I just did them a favor."
Jade Flood Dragon looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Don't lie to me. If you just did them a favor, why would they be so grateful to you? Tell me, what happened?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I helped them improve a plant that can produce 6000 jin per mu. Moreover, it was a success. Now, the people of the Mixed Spirit Continent don't have to worry about food anymore. They don't have to starve to death. Don't you think that I've done them a favor?" Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Alright.
"6000 jin per mu? Are you kidding me? What did you do? How can the yield be so high? " Jade Flood Dragon looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression. Although he was a Prince, he didn't know much about farming. However, 6000 jin per mu was too frightening.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's true. Let's go back and eat something. Today, we'll be eating mountain beans. Although the taste is ordinary, the yield is high. It can fill people's stomachs. That's enough. Let's go." Then he led Jade Flood Dragon and the others back to the villa.
There were still some people in the villa. At the same time, the apprentices were also living in the villa. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about food. Moreover, Yu Jinglin was very good to Zhao Hai. No matter what good things he had, he would send them to Zhao Hai first. Because of this, Zhao Hai's villa could be said to have the best food in Sea Spirit City.
Zhao Hai would usually eat with the apprentices. But now that Jade Flood Dragon and the others were here, he naturally had to accompany them. Today, the food they ate was very simple. It was nothing more than mountain beans, fish, and shrimp. There wasn't even any meat.
However, the Jade Jiao Dragon had also adapted to this kind of food. Fish was a staple food for the people of the Arctic Continent, so they were already used to it. As for the mountain beans, it was their first time eating them, but they ate a lot of them.
Yu Daban, Yu 'er, Ying' er, and the others also ate a lot. After eating, Zhao Hai led them out for a stroll. After looking at the scenery around the villa, they returned to the villa.
In the evening, Zhao Hai took out some wine and had a few drinks with Jade Flood Dragon. Then he arranged for them to sleep. Jade Flood Dragon and the others slept well today. In the past, they didn't sleep well inside or outside the Imperial Palace. They were always afraid that someone would come and harm them. But now, they didn't have to worry about anything. Therefore, they were able to sleep well.
The next morning, Jade Flood Dragon and the others woke up early. When they went outside, they saw that Zhao Hai had already woken up and was stretching his body. Upon seeing them, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "You're up. Although there are a lot of people in the villa, they all have things to do. Therefore, you'll have to rely on yourselves to wash your face and rinse your mouth. Someone has already prepared water for you, you can go and get it."
Jade Flood Dragon waved his hand and said, "That's enough. We'll do it ourselves when we're outside. Right, why did you wake up so early?"
Zhao smiled. "Every day, I have to teach some children how to treat and improve plants. This class usually takes the whole morning. If you have nothing to do, you can walk around. When we have time in the afternoon, we can go out and play."
Jade Flood Dragon smiled and said, "What fun can there be here? You can do your own thing. Don't worry about us. We'll go have breakfast and see how you teach. You're not deceiving us, right?"
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "You'll know when the time comes. Go and wash your face and rinse your mouth. Otherwise, you won't have breakfast." Hearing Zhao Hai, Jade Flood Dragon nodded and then went to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
At this time, Yu Daban came over with a wooden basin in his hand. When he saw Jade Flood Dragon, he immediately said, "Your Highness, you're up. Come and wash your face and rinse your mouth."
Jade Flood Dragon smiled and said, "Daban, we've already left the palace and the Ice Jade Country. There's no need to call me Your Highness in the future. I'll do it myself."
Yu Daban smiled and said, "It's alright, Your Highness. This old servant is already used to this. Let me do it."
Jade Flood Dragon smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. Then he took the basin and went to wash his face and rinse his mouth. However, Yu Daban didn't follow. Instead, he stood there and gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Young Master Zhao Hai, His Highness always mentions you. Thank you for taking us out."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Fatty is my friend. If I can help, then I'll naturally help. You don't need to thank me. Life in the Miscellaneous Spirit Continent is hard. You might not be used to it, but you should try to get used to it in the future. Also, I think that your spells will be of great help to the people of the continent. If there's a chance in the future, I hope that you can teach them."
Yu Daban quickly replied, "Of course. If Young Master Zhao Hai needs anything, please don't hesitate to ask."
