The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 2099 Results

When the two countries were at war, it was normal not to trade with each other, but now Qing State actually used this method to target Jing State, completely breaking the bottom line of the internal struggle of the human race.

Because most of the food is for the people of Jing State!

Once Qing State stops the food trade, Jing State will be out of food, which will inevitably lead to famine.

After years of fighting with the barbarians, most of the people in Jing State have used up their grain reserves.

The food and clothing of hundreds of millions of people is not a small problem, which has a great impact on the future development of Jing State. No one in Jing State dares to take this responsibility.

There was silence in the bamboo house, and soon, the other bamboo houses nearby also became quiet.

Their conversation could not be hidden from the nearby university scholars and great scholars.

The officials of other countries secretly discussed for a while, and all shook their heads gently. Even the officials of Wu State, who had always wanted to help Jing State, were very helpless. Wu State had always relied on buying food from Qing State and Qi State to survive, and it was hostile to these two countries in the past, and suffered a lot in this regard.

Facing the barbarian invasion, Wuguo sent a large army to help, but it was powerless in terms of food.

Jiang Hechuan said slowly: "You Qingguo are no different from leading beasts to eat people, so how can we talk about etiquette?"

Xiang Shanling smiled slightly, as if he knew he had the upper hand, and raised his head gently, saying: "Mr. Hechuan misunderstood, this is just a normal business relationship between the two countries. Your country's textiles are second to none, and you don't have to sell them to my Qingguo."

Xiang Shanling once again pointed at the weakness of Jingguo.

Jingguo officials looked at Xiang Shanling with disgust. Although they were all related to people's livelihood, the importance of cloth and silk was far from comparable to food. Moreover, many Jingguo workshops have been manufacturing military items for many years and have not made much money. Now they are in urgent need of selling goods to other countries.

Although Qingguo is rich in silk, it produces very little cotton and linen. Linen and cotton cloth need to be purchased from outside, while Jingguo produces linen and cotton, and can make a lot of money from Qingguo every year.

Once Qingguo stops purchasing cloth from Jingguo, a large number of workshops in Jingguo will go bankrupt.

The post-war Jing State was already full of contradictions. Once the workshop closures and famine occurred at the same time, the king's edict of guilt was a light punishment, and he might even be forced to abdicate.

What the officials of Jing State feared most was not the change of the king, but the fact that Jing State, which was about to stabilize, would fall into turmoil again.

Jing State had been weak for many years, and finally had Fang Yun, but now it was facing attacks from the barbarians. Now it could have taken a breath, but once Qing State started a trade war, Jing State would inevitably fall to its lowest point in history.

It was more chaotic than when the barbarians invaded the south.

At that time, Qing State would take the opportunity to attack, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Hechuan's face changed slightly. He saw deeper than all the officials. Qing State could use this method to tie Fang Yun up!

Once a scholar is promoted to a great scholar, unless he needs to practice in the court, he can only serve as a literary minister, an official position with more honor than power, and spend more time pursuing the holy way.

Once Jingguo falls into chaos, Fang Yun will inevitably go into politics again, serving as an important official of Jingguo or even the left prime minister, which means that Fang Yun will reduce his training time and prolong the time of canonization.

Because Fang Yun is not a jack of all trades, handling government affairs cannot speed up his canonization.

For Fang Yun, government affairs are just an auxiliary way of training, and too much is as bad as too little.

The struggle between big countries is dangerous everywhere.

Jiang Hechuan's eyes are slightly cold, staring at Xiang Shanling and said: "If Qingguo insists on its own way and cuts off my Jingguo's food, it is equivalent to declaring war on my Jingguo!"

"My Qingguo soldiers are preparing for war, and they are not afraid!"

"With the enemy in front of the two worlds, your Qingguo is rebelling against the human race!"

"Qingguo has strong soldiers and generals, and abundant food and grass, and can fight both sides at the same time!" Xiang Shanling's voice was loud and clear.

Jiang Hechuan was silent.

There was more helplessness in the angry eyes of the officials of Jingguo.

Jingguo suffered heavy losses in the war with the barbarians. If they really wanted to fight, they would not have the strength to fight at all, which would be equivalent to handing over a large piece of land to Qingguo.

At this moment, the main gate of the Academy of Literature opened wide, and a man in blue stepped out, followed by many scholars.

"Who is talking nonsense outside the Xingtan!"

That voice was like a drum beating in the ear, and all the officials of Qingguo were shocked, their thoughts were confused, and their whole body was uncomfortable.

All the officials of Jingguo stood up and looked at Fang Yun in surprise. They did not expect Fang Yun's strength to increase again, infinitely close to the great scholar.

Although this kind of power does not control the righteousness of heaven and earth, it only causes the righteousness of heaven and earth to vibrate, which does not cause much harm to the human race, but has a strong lethality to the monsters and monster soldiers.

The officials of Qingguo turned to look at Fang Yun, but they did not dare to look into his starry eyes. They were so guilty that they lowered their heads involuntarily.

When they lowered their heads, they realized that they were not up to the task, secretly scolded themselves, and forced themselves to look up.

Fang Yun stopped and looked at Xiang Shanling.

Where Fang Yun stands, the army is invincible.

All the people in the bamboo houses facing the Academy of Literature stood up and saluted Fang Yun, but did not speak, waiting for the dispute between the two countries to end.

Xiang Shanling smiled and bowed to Fang Yun, then walked towards Fang Yun with a smile, saying: "How dare I speak nonsense in front of Fang Xusheng? What I said just now was nothing but a joke. The scholars of my Qing country have always admired Mr. Fang. Even if we look at Mr. Fang's face, we can't interrupt the grain trade."

Fang Yun waved his hand and said: "No need. From today on, my Jing country will never buy a grain from Qing country!"

The officials of Qing country were stunned, and then a faint mockery appeared on their faces. The grain issue involving hundreds of millions of people cannot be solved with a wave of the hand.

The officials of Jing country changed their color, and secretly sent messages with their talents, asking Fang Yun not to be impulsive.

Unexpectedly, Fang Yun said: "Autumn has passed, except for winter wheat and other crops, it is no longer possible to plant. I exchange military merits for food from the Holy Court, and then distribute aquatic products to various places for free. It will not be a problem to last until next year. Starting from next year, our Jingguo food At least double the output!”

All the officials in front of the Wenyuan were stunned. Even those who were not farm officials knew that this was absolutely impossible.

After thousands of years of hard work, the human race has reached a limit in food production. Let alone doubling it, just increasing it by 10% is a feat.

Because if the output increases, it means that the number of farmers can be reduced, and other industries or soldiers can be increased, freeing up the labor force and allowing the human race to develop faster.

Fang Yun dared to say that Jingguo's grain had doubled, which was a mockery of the sages of farmers of all ages.

Many officials in the Qing Kingdom had smiles on their faces, but for the sake of Xiao Xingtan, they did not speak sarcastically.

Xiang Shanling pretended to be confused and asked with a smile: "I wonder if Fang Xusheng has any clever plan to double the grain output and make farmers and scholars of all generations shameless?"

Fang Yun said: "On the contrary, I have to thank the farmers for this. After all, they are the ones who have cultivated a large amount of high-yielding grains, vegetables, livestock and fruits in the Blood Mango Realm. Next year, it can be officially promoted in Shengyuan Continent!"

Xiang Shanling and other Jingguo officials were stunned as if struck by lightning.

The officials of Jingguo were stunned and overjoyed. The Bloody Mang Realm finally had results!

Officials from other countries are very happy. Increasing food production and nurturing the human race will always be the first merit of the human race, even above education!

Those officials who knew about farming were extremely excited, because they knew that just eating food could not strengthen the human body. Only by supplementing it with suitable vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs could the human body be significantly improved.

Increased food production means that more land can be used to grow vegetables and fruits and feed poultry and livestock, which will naturally make the human race stronger.
