Yu Yunlong looked at Yu Jiaolong and said, "Jiaolong, why did you come back today? Is there anything else you need? "
Yu Jiaolong hurriedly replied, "Father, I came back today to report the progress of the fish farm to you. Now, the fish farm has been basically completed. The fish farm has been planted with aquatic plants. These aquatic plants are a new type of aquatic plant that I developed in Mixed Spirit Continent. This kind of aquatic plant grows fast and adapts well to the environment. Moreover, the fish can eat it very fast. Now, there are already 10,000 adult broad-leaved fish in the fish farm. These fish should be able to give birth in a few days. After giving birth, we will be able to catch a batch of them in half a year. By then, Ice Jade City will be able to eat the broad-leaved fish in the fish farm."
When Yu Yunlong heard Yu Jiaolong, he stared. Then he looked at Yu Jiaolong and said, "It's already done? It seems like what you said before about building a fish farm on the Miscellaneous Spirit Continent was true. Did you really make those aquatic plants? "
Yu Jiaolong smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Imperial Father. Those aquatic plants weren't made by me, but by Zhao Hai. He came to the Mixed Spirit Continent in order to solve the problem of food for the people there. Moreover, he has succeeded. He made a plant called Shan Dou, which can produce 6,000 to 7,000 jin per mu. Because of this, the people in the Mixed Spirit Continent can eat their fill. These aquatic plants were specially made by him to raise fish for me. When I came back this time, I brought some back. If Imperial Father didn't give me some tasks, then I might have used other fish farms for experiments. But since Imperial Father gave me this task, I decided to use our fish farm for experiments. Now, it seems like the experiment has been very successful."
The Jade Flood Dragon paused for a moment, then he smiled and continued, "Aside from the seaweed, these broad-leaved fishes were indeed raised by me. They don't know much about broad-leaved fishes, so I decided to raise them. Although the meat quality of broad-leaved fishes isn't the best, they have a high yield, fast growth rate, and aren't aggressive. Most importantly, they grow fast and don't get sick easily. It's one of the fishes that commoners like to raise. Of course, the price of this fish is also very cheap. But in the Mixed Spirit Continent, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they won't pay too much attention to the taste. Therefore, I decided to raise this fish. The task that Imperial Father gave me was to prepare for the war, so I also raised this fish."
Yu Yunlong listened to Yu Jiaolong quietly. He didn't expect Yu Jiaolong to have such a reaction. He quickly said, "So, more than half of the fish farms will produce fish? How much will they produce? "
Yu Jiaolong thought for a moment, then he said in a deep voice, "The number of broad-leaved fishes will be about 500 to 1000 each time. Moreover, they will directly give birth to small fishes. Of course, some of these small fishes might die for various reasons, but the number that will survive will definitely not be small. Of the 10,000 broad-leaved fishes, the number that will survive will be about 3 to 5 million. And in half a year, the fishes will grow to about 30 jin each year. The total number of fishes produced will be about 90 million jin."
Yu Yunlong stared at Yu Jiaolong. After a while, his face sank as he said, "Jiaolong, don't talk nonsense. 90 million jin of fishes is enough to feed the people of Ice Jade City for a month. And this is only half a year's output. If I'm not wrong, the output of your fish farm in half a year should be considered small, right? Are you sure that your fish farm can produce so many fishes? "
Yu Jiaolong replied in a deep voice, "I'm absolutely not wrong. Imperial Father, if you don't want to calculate, then you can check again in half a year."
Yu Yunlong looked at Yu Jiaolong and said, "Alright, then I'll see how many fishes your fish farm can produce in half a year. If it can reach the amount that you're talking about, then I'll certainly reward you handsomely."
The Jade Flood Dragon replied, "Your son doesn't need any reward. The current situation in the Ice Ocean Continent is very unstable. This is the most difficult time for our Ice Jade Country. We need to unite and get through this crisis. Emperor Father, your son may say something disrespectful, but if the situation in the Ice Ocean Continent hadn't become like this, your son wouldn't have come back. Although your son only has a fish farm in the Mixed Spirit Continent, the people there still respect your son very much. Your son would only take a look at his fish farm every day before going sightseeing. That kind of life is what your son wants to live."
Yu Yunlong looked at Yu Jiaolong and said in a deep voice, "Jiaolong, do you not want to be the King of the Ice Jade Country?"
"I don't. Imperial Father, this position is really boring. Let me ask you, Imperial Father. Imperial Father, how many times have you left the palace? How many times have you gone to other countries? Imperial Father, how many places have you seen in the Continent? How much have you eaten in different places? Imperial Father, your son doesn't want to live the same life as you. Your son wants to play in the Five Spiritual Realms and see the differences between the continents. But if your son were to sit on your throne, then your son would live the same life as you. It would be too boring to live in the palace for the rest of my life. "
Yu Yunlong looked at Yu Jiaolong and Yu Jiaolong looked at each other. After a while, Yu Yunlong laughed and said, "Good, good. Kid, you're right. Ever since I became the King, I haven't left the palace. Hearing you say that, I'm a bit envious of you."
Yu Jiaolong smiled and said, "Your son's character isn't suitable to be the King. If I can get through this crisis, then your son will leave the Five Spiritual Realms. Your son still hasn't finished touring the Five Spiritual Realms."
Yu Yunlong looked at Yu Jiaolong and smiled, "Alright, let's talk about this later. Let's get through this crisis first. Go and rest. Your current job is to manage the fish farm. Managing the fish farm is more important than anything else."
Yu Jiaolong nodded and said, "Yes, Imperial Father. Your son will return to the fish farm tomorrow. The fish farm still needs someone to look after it in order to avoid any accidents. Your son will take his leave now." Then he left Yu Yunlong's room.
After Yu Jiaolong left, Yu Yunlong turned to Zhang Zhen and said, "Zhang Zhen, do you think Jiaolong is telling the truth?"
Zhang Zhen glanced at Yu Yunlong and said, "Your Highness, this old servant doesn't dare to speculate."
"Speak. You've been with me your entire life. I trust you more than you trust a few of your sons. Speak," Yu Yunlong said in a deep voice.
Zhang Zhen knelt down and said with a sobbing voice, "This old servant thanks Your Majesty for your trust. In this old servant's opinion, Eighth Majesty's words are most likely true."
"Oh, why do you believe Jiao 'er's words are true?" Yu Yunlong asked as he helped Zhang Zhen up.
Zhang Zhen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this old servant has always felt strange. His Highness' talent seems to be good, but why couldn't his cultivation speed increase? Later on, when he left the palace, he left the Ice Ocean Continent. This old servant had some speculations that it wasn't that His Highness' talent wasn't good, but that he didn't cultivate seriously. He didn't want to perform too well and didn't want to compete for anything. If this old servant's guess is right, when he left the Imperial Palace for the first time, he didn't plan to come back. If it weren't for the discovery of the Ghost-faced Devil God, then His Highness might not have come back. Later on, when His Highness came back, he reported to Your Majesty about the Ghost-faced Devil God, but Your Majesty didn't believe him and put him under house arrest. This old servant went to see His Highness the Eighth Prince. At that time, His Highness the Eighth Prince was drunk every day and had lost weight. After losing weight, His Highness the Eighth Prince looked almost the same as Your Majesty when you were young. But this old servant's heart ached when he saw this. Later on, His Highness the Eighth Prince built his mansion and then disappeared. When he came back, His Highness the Eighth Prince became fat again.
Yu Yunlong didn't speak, he waited for Zhang Zhen to finish. After a while, he said, "You're right. Maybe Jiao 'er really doesn't want the throne. What a pity, what a pity. My favorite, most capable, and most loyal son doesn't want the throne. Sigh, I'm really a failure."
Zhang Zhen looked at Yu Yunlong and said, "Your Majesty, you're now in the prime of your life. There's no need to worry about who will inherit the throne. In this old servant's opinion, if Your Majesty really wants that Prince, then wouldn't you just need to say a word? Even if Eighth Majesty doesn't want the throne, wouldn't he still stay in the end?"
Yu Yunlong sighed and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Looking at Jiao 'er's appearance, it seems like he won't be leaving anytime soon. Zhang Zhen, I think that our new army should be formed. Where do you think we should draw people from?"
Zhang Zhen replied, "Your Majesty, in this old servant's opinion, our new army should be formed from adventurers. These adventurers are people who only care about money. They don't have any gratitude or righteousness in their hearts. Such people might cause trouble during wartime. It's better to have them form a new army and then strictly discipline them. This way, they can be useful during wartime. Moreover, we don't need to worry about them causing trouble during wartime."
"Adventurers? Well, you're right, those adventurers are troublesome. If they're given money during wartime, it would be troublesome if they were used by the enemy. If we gather them together and form an army, it would save us a lot of trouble. However, those adventurers are unruly and unruly, would they agree to join the army? "Zhao Hai nodded," That's right.
"Your Majesty doesn't know. These adventurers are actually ordinary people who can't afford to eat. They only become adventurers for a mouthful of food. If we let them join the new army, then they would become official soldiers of our Ice Jade Country. They would receive a fixed salary every month. Why wouldn't they agree? I think that most adventurers would agree. Even if there are some who don't agree, as long as we let the majority of them join the new army, then the remaining people wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. "
"That's reasonable. However, it's not easy to discipline these adventurers. It seems that we have to choose a powerful commander."
"This old servant thinks that the commander of the new army can be chosen from the intelligence department. The people of the intelligence department often deal with people from all walks of life. They know how to deal with adventurers."
"That's reasonable. Let's do that!"
