Because it was in Lou Ye, and she had offended someone, so during this period of time, when she was not around, Si Kong and his men were guarding there. But she was worried that someone was plotting something, and Si Kong and his men would be at a disadvantage … Anyway, she was very nervous! So she could only guard there herself!
And now, the result was finally out! Her heart also lightened, and she no longer felt uneasy. She actually fell asleep in Long Chengwu Ji's arms just a few steps away.
He was tall, and in contrast, GongYimo was very small. She was nestled in his thick fur coat, like a little kitten.
Long Chengwu Ji did not know how to describe his feelings. The only feeling he had was that he hoped that the road back to his residence … The longer the better.
As the King of Lou Ye, Long Chengwu Ji rarely felt conflicted about anything. His character had decided that he would do what he thought, but this time, he was a little lost.
Before meeting GongYimo, he had never thought that any girl … would be so special.
She had strength and decisiveness that did not lose to a man, and wisdom and talent that did not lose to a man! When she was aggressive, it made people love and hate her. When she was focused, it made people respect and admire her. When she was mischievous, it made people love and pity her …
But … he already had a fiancée.
So he did not say anything. Perhaps this feeling, would disappear in the future. As long as she left Lou Ye, it would disappear …
The next day, when GongYimo woke up, the first thing she did was to go to her 'vegetable field' to get two potatoes! She had not tried the taste yet, and did not know if it was good or not!
Seeing that GongYimo wanted to use it to cook, Long Chengwu Ji did not want to. Longcheng Wuji refused in his heart. Two potatoes. After it sprouted, it would become the mother seed. How many fruits would it bear?
But if GongYimo wanted to eat, he would definitely agree. He wanted to try the taste, and see if it was as good as GongYimo said it was.
She always had seasonings in her space, so in a short while, she made a plate of fried potato strips! That smell, just by smelling it, was fragrant!
After making a few more dishes, the two sat on the steps of the palace to drink. It was already evening, snow was falling, and everything was silent.
Longcheng Wuji was conquered by this taste, but when he looked at her face, he actually forgot to taste this rare delicacy and stared at her in a daze.
"GongYimo, why are you doing this?" He asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time. "Why did you bring such a magical thing to Lou Ye instead of contributing it to Dai Yu state?"
Snow fell on GongYimo's body. At this moment, she squinted her eyes like a lazy cat, with a trace of carelessness.
"Because … Lou Ye is very poor!"
She said it as if it was a matter of fact, which almost angered Longcheng Wuji to death!
But he had to admit that what she said was the truth.
Lou Ye was very poor, and Lou Ye's people did not like to be restrained. They could ride horses to war, but it would be difficult for them to do business in the fields. However, he should not have said it out loud! Longcheng Wuji said arrogantly.
"That's because my people don't like those twists and turns, and they don't care about doing business!"
GongYimo smiled. "That's because Lou Ye's people are mostly uneducated."
When she said that, Longcheng Wuji almost lost his face!
Studying in Lou Ye was a very luxurious thing. When the children grew up, they would not be herding sheep or feeding horses. Why would they study? Moreover, Lou Ye was a nomadic people. They would not stay in a fixed place, so how could they study?
Just like him, he only studied the Eagle language and Lou Ye's history.
GongYimo continued. "They don't study because they are poor. People are constantly running around to feed their animals and their families. Who would have the time to care about whether their children study or not?
Moreover, from your point of view, Lou Ye lacks everything. They don't have any fruits, vegetables, or staple food. They don't even have salt. Therefore, you all think that in such a bad situation, poverty is inevitable. Many people feel at ease being poor. "
"GongYimo!" Longcheng Wuji gritted his teeth. "Don't think that I don't dare to hit you!"
He was Lou Ye's people. They were the most ambitious and the bravest people. They were the children of the Eagle! Why did GongYimo say that they were a bunch of mediocre people who took things for granted?
"Isn't that the case?" She glanced at him and asked.
Longcheng Wuji could not refute that.
He thought about it and finally said angrily, "But Lou Ye has no food, no salt, and it's a fact that the environment is bad! That's why Lou Ye has it harder than the people of Dai Yu State. It's because you have everything! "
GongYimo pinched the wine bottle between her fingers and narrowed her eyes. "But have you thought about what Dai Yu State doesn't have? What do you have? "
Longcheng Wuji was stunned.
"You have vast land. You have horses, sheep, and cows. Your fur can be seen everywhere. However, a complete fur can be sold for a good price in Dai Yu State. Your agate and jade are not worth much, but these can be sold for a sky-high price in Dai Yu State …"
Her voice was faint, but it seemed to be bewitching. It made King Lou Ye's eyes shine brighter and brighter!
The ancients were limited by their horizons. They could not see the heights that GongYimo could see. Longcheng Wuji was already very smart. From GongYimo's actions, he could infer many things. He wanted to open up a horse trade route with Yuheng. However, he only wanted to be able to buy food during the winter. He could not see anything else.
It was as if he never knew that opening up the road further would bring about so many benefits! He had underestimated the benefits that trade could bring!
"I gave this to Lou Ye to plant because it is suitable for farming here. Moreover, it can solve one of Lou Ye's biggest problems. In a situation where you do not lack food, the people in the border towns will not harass other countries and will not rob them."
She said it openly, but it made Longcheng Wuji blush for no reason.
"Moreover … you can spread this food. This process of spreading is the process of trade. It is also a form of training.
Moreover, once they start farming, Lou Ye's people will start to have a sense of land. They will not wander around like before. They will cherish their own country more and will not peep at other countries' lands. Only when the people settle down, will Lou Ye have the opportunity to become Emperor …
So … I hope that you can farm well in the future. On the basis of being self-sufficient, you can develop and become stronger. "
Her voice was cold and clear. Every word was said casually. However, in Longcheng Wuji's ears, it was as if she was being guided by the gods!
Longcheng Wuji felt as if someone had woken him up. His head hurt! Then it became very clear …
Lou Ye could not become Emperor. Other than being poor, the nomadic people did not have a sense of land. They were small in number and the tribes were like loose sand. They came and went like the wind. It was not easy to manage them, not to mention centralizing power!
But he never thought that GongYimo's action, which seemed to be solving the food problem of the people, was actually solving the problem of the country's foundation!
Once the people settled down and started farming, they would not be tribes anymore. They would be towns!
This town would not be like now. Although it was called a town, it was actually a market for the people to exchange goods. It would be like the forcibly built Hua Cheng. It would be a place where the people lived!
Once the people settled down, there would be a city, a county and finally a country!
Not to mention, GongYimo had also drawn out a trade route that spanned across the three countries!
This was to let Lou Ye settle down first. Then, on the basis of stability, she would establish a road of development!
So that the people of Lou Ye could change their way of life and live like the people of Dai Yu State …
She must be a guide sent by the Eagle God! She must be!
