"It's not me; it's Olina!" O 'Laura said as she watched the bumper harvest on the ground, "Olina proposed many new agricultural policies in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Take the straw subsidy policy as an instance, farmers could exchange their straw for fiery oil, fermented fertilizer, coal or paper produced by fermenting residues in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. Additionally, each household needs it. It's a disguised agricultural subsidy. With such a subsidy policy, firstly, the output of fiery oil across Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory has achieved an explosive and benign growth; secondly, it stabilizes and supports the agricultural production of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory. When Taixia Country encounters a grain shortage, the output of grains across Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory increased almost every quarter; thirdly, it stimulates the use of fiery oil across Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory so that fiery oil could be popularized comprehensively and be closely related to the lives of commoners at the bottom level. What's more, from then on, these farmers would become your supporters and the foundation for you to conquer the world in the future …"
"Olina!" Shaking his head, Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile as he was not surprised at all. That woman had already proved her ability time and time again. In Navyblue Castle Business Group and Iron Heart Palace in Youzhou Province, Olina's insight and means were far greater than commoners. Sometimes, Zhang Tie even thought that if Olina was a man, that woman might make more amazing achievements.
"When Olina proposed this subsidy policy, I didn't understand it. Later on, I gradually understood it. Therefore, I prepare to appoint Olina as the prime minister of Sacred Iceland Kingdom …"
"Can I not go back?" Zhang Tie let out a sigh as he watched O'Laura calmly.
Taixia Country is too powerful and Hua people are too arrogant. This power and arrogance belongs to you with black hair and black eyes; instead of us. As for us, this arrogance and power is an invisible barrier. Even though we're your wife and son, this barrier still exists; however, it's hidden very carefully. However, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. If we don't want to gradually become your habit and embellishment in this barrier, we have to leave here. I believe that when Andre and the other guys grow up, they would definitely like to fly in a freer place. Ice and Snow Wilderness, those subcontinents and the Western Continent might be the stage for them to fly in the future. If they want to come to Taixia Country, they should come to you with the pride and arrogance of men and want to listen to your praises; instead of living meticulously in Taixia Country with the halos that you've bestowed upon them … "
"Therefore, your departure this time is not entirely for me, but also for Andre and the others!"
"As for a mother, nothing could be more important than her children. Olina, Sabrina and the 6 Spencer sisters are your wives and mothers. We also want to give more and better things to our children. It's said that the 3 kids of Beverly, Fiona and Linda have excellent aptitudes. They might promote to knights before 20 years old and come back soon. You will have more children in the future, including princesses of royal clans and powerful heavenly knights. They might even have more children. Those children might inherit everything from you in the future. You might not favor them; however, have you considered how Andre, Fiona and Linda could compete with their brothers in the future? As their mothers are foreigners, they are destined to meet a lot of obstacles in Taixia Country and could barely reach the highest place. There are so many such examples in Taixia Country. There are so many female knights and figures in major clans across Taixia Country who have mixed race women. Across Taixia Country, none of the major clans' power and future is controlled by a mixed race head or elder. Those mixed race women in major clans are either idled by their clans or sent to places far away from the center of their clans or those subcontinents. I don't want Andre, Fiona and Linda to be like that in the future …"
O 'Laura watched Zhang Tie with gleaming eyes as she paused for a second before continuing, "Youzhou Province and Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory are very small; however, the outside world is very large. As one of the transit stations connecting Eastern Continent and Western Continent, Ice and Snow Wilderness has opened the entire Western Continent to Sacred Iceland Kingdom. Therefore, we have to go back …"
Watching O'Laura, Zhang Tie finally understood why O'Laura, Beverly, Beverly and Beverly were so determined. It was not only because of him, but also because of Andrea, Beverly, Beverly and Beverly. It was an invisible competition between women and mothers.
When the family business grew, there would be more women and more children. This kind of thing was simply unavoidable. It was the same even for the Emperor's family. Since ancient times, how many emperors, generals and ministers had been unable to solve this problem? It was impossible for him to find a perfect solution to this problem.
As the father of Andre, Beverly and Beverly, what else could Zhang Tie say at this moment?
O 'Laura was talking about the entire system of Taixia Country and the worldly wisdom and rules that had lasted for tens of thousands of years. In her eyes, all her kids were the same; however, in the eyes of outsiders, even in the eyes of Zhang Yang and Zhang Su, those kids were different. One kid's maternal grandfather was Lord Guangnan; the other kid's mother was a heavenly knight who might promote to a sage-level knight or even a major clan in Taixia Country; the other kid's mother was a foreign woman who came from subcontinents. How could these kids be the same?
Watching O 'Laura's calm look, Zhang Tie suddenly let out a sigh, "From now on, I will hand my territory in Fadiland Empire on Western Continent to you. I will also arrange that thing that you've negotiated as soon as possible so that you wouldn't encounter any danger after leaving Taixia Country …"
"I think Andre, Beverly and Beverly would understand it when they grow up. However, this time, you have to do something that you don't like to do and bear a reputation that you don't want!"
"I'm their father and your husband. It's what I should do …" Zhang Tie revealed a self-mocking smile, "Aren't men supposed to stand out and shoulder the responsibility at this moment? My reputation is nothing. It might not even be a compensation …"
