The Khan and the King of Ruyang looked towards Lin Fei at the same time, their faces showing displeasure.

You said you were a guest, so you should just eat the lamb leg. Why did you have to talk too much when they were discussing state affairs?

Who were the Khan and the King of Ruyang?

They had been through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and they had probably seen more dead people than Lin Fei knew.

Considering Zhao Min's face, Prince Ruyang still suppressed his displeasure and said, "What advice does Mr. Lin have?!"

Lin Fei said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I would like to ask the prince, why did the Yuan Dynasty attack cities and seize land?"

Prince Ruyang said with a little disdain, "Don't you know this? Of course it is to expand the territory. With more land, more cattle and sheep can be raised to feed more people of the Yuan Dynasty."

Lin Fei said slowly, "So, the prince and the Khan attacked the Song Dynasty in order to develop the population and feed more people of the Yuan Dynasty, right?"

Prince Ruyang snorted coldly, "Yes."

Lin Fei said, "The people of the Song Dynasty are also human beings, born by their parents, and have brothers, sisters, wives and children. You slaughter and harm the people of the Song Dynasty for the sake of the people of the Yuan Dynasty. Don't you feel sorry for it?"

"Hahaha..." Prince Ruyang finally couldn't bear it anymore. "I thought the legendary shopkeeper Lin was so great, but it turns out he is just a woman with a soft heart and naive!"

"Throughout history, how many people have died in wars? A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Which general has not seen piles of bones? Which emperor does not have thousands of dead souls under his feet?"

"Our Great Yuan believes in power above all else. If the Great Song is strong enough to capture Dadu in one fell swoop, we, the people of the Great Yuan, will be slaughtered without complaint!"

Lin Fei smiled faintly and said, "If I have a way to triple the population of the Great Yuan without spending a single soldier, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"What?!" King Ruyang and the Khan stood up from their seats in shock at the same time, "Triple the population?"

The princess who was accompanying him also opened her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at the handsome man brought back by her daughter with interest.

Originally, she thought that Lin Fei was just handsome and highly cultivated, but she didn't expect that he actually had unique insights into national affairs.

This man is simply the most ideal son-in-law candidate in her mind, no one else.

If Minmin could have such a perfect man by her side, she would really wake up with a smile in her dreams.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but drool excitedly.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Prince Ruyang looked back and saw the drool left at the corner of the princess' mouth, and asked curiously.

The princess quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and smiled, "It's okay, today's grilled lamb chops are too fragrant."

The Khan asked, "What good plan do you have to triple the population of the Yuan Dynasty?"

Although he didn't believe Lin Fei in his heart, the tripling of the population was really too tempting.

If what Lin Fei said could inspire him a little, it would be considered a gain.

What is the concept of tripling the population?

After a dozen years, young and middle-aged people, labor force, adult women, etc. will triple accordingly.

With a larger population, there will naturally be more people herding cattle and sheep, more soldiers in the army, and more resources and taxes.

The Yuan Dynasty is located in the grassland, and the food source of the Yuan people is mainly beef and mutton.

Unlike the Song Dynasty, which has fertile and abundant paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River and can grow rice.

The limited food means that the population of the Yuan Dynasty is doomed to have an upper limit.

It is less than one-tenth of the population of the Song Dynasty.

But what makes the Khan proud is that the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty are all brave and good at fighting. One against ten can completely make up for the shortage of population.

Lin Fei said: "I have a kind of grain that can be sown and mature in harsh environments, and the yield per mu is several times that of rice, which is enough to solve the food problem of the people of the Yuan Dynasty."

The Khan said: "The Yuan Dynasty has many deserts and mountains. Can the grain you are talking about be sown in such places?"

Lin Fei said: "Of course."

Then he took out a potato from the system space.

The Khan and King Ruyang gathered around and stared at this thing they had never seen before.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Fei peeled and cut the potatoes, put them into the pot and boiled them.

After they were cooked, he took them out and sprinkled some salt and black pepper on them, motioning the Khan to taste them.

The Khan and King Ruyang looked at each other, and each took a piece and put it in their mouths.

Fragrant! Soft! Sticky! Delicious!

I didn't expect that simple cooking could make potatoes so delicious.

If it is true as Lin Fei said, this kind of potato can grow on the land of the Yuan Dynasty, and the yield is far greater than that of rice.

The population of the Yuan Dynasty can really triple!

The Khan was moved!

King Ruyang was unmoved.

He was born a soldier, marching and fighting all his life, and firmly believed that only force could make neighboring countries surrender.Only by obeying the rules can one let his people live a good life.

Lin Fei took out another carrot from the system space.

"This thing is called carrot, which is rich in vitamin C. It is delicious when stewed with beef, mutton and potatoes.

The nutrients contained in this thing are the same as tea. Eating it can prevent scurvy."

"Shut up!" King Ruyang shouted loudly, "You said so much, just wanting me to withdraw my troops from Xiangyang. I can tell you now that it's wishful thinking!

At most one month, Xiangyang City will belong to my Yuan Dynasty. How can I let the cooked duck fly?"

Zhao Min shouted loudly: "Father, what do you want to withdraw your troops?"

King Ruyang casually pointed to a large bronze vat outside the tent, "If you can lift it up, I will let Baobao withdraw his troops!"

The princess was anxious when she heard it.

"Your Highness, Minmin is a girl, the princess of the Ruyang Palace, a precious body, how can you let her lift the vat?"

The King of Ruyang said: "If you can't lift this vat, there's no need to talk about withdrawing troops from Xiangyang!"

The princess insisted: "If Minmin does something wrong, I won't forgive you."

The King of Ruyang also had a tough attitude: "The children of my Temur family, regardless of gender, are upright, how can they be afraid of a mere vat?"

"You!"

Zhao Min said: "Mother, don't say anything."

"Father, as long as I lift this vat, will you let my brother withdraw troops from Xiangyang?"

"Of course!"

"Okay!" Zhao Min walked towards the vat with a firm step, "I hope my father will keep his word!"
