With the appearance of two system prompts, Chu Hua basically determined the outcome of the Orange Cat Empire.
[The Spana Empire declares war on the Orange Cat Empire!]
[The Madha Empire declares war on the Orange Cat Empire! 】
If any imperial force that has communicated with others breaks out in a war with others, the system will issue a prompt to let you pay attention to the situation in this empire.
And after all, if a war really breaks out, it can't be hidden. After all, the changes in power on the star map are very obvious, so the function of the reminder is just to let the rulers pay attention.
A normal declaration of war will deduct reputation points.
To end the war without completely annihilating the other side, an [Armistice Agreement] needs to be signed.
The two sides will not allow another war within a year, and this agreement does not say who is beneficial. It is mainly to maintain their respective populations.
If the attacker still wants to fight, they can find a third party to declare war, and the defender will also have time to recuperate and maybe even gain a big backer.
This is also the reason why Chu Hua believes that the Orange Cat Empire is going to die.
People have decided to beat you, and they must do it in one go to avoid future troubles. We can't still hold on to it and let you live in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years, right?
"There are no hostile countries around Daxia. It seems that my start is not bad..."
Except for a few space creatures that occasionally appeared on the Daxia border, no one came to make trouble, and Chu Hua was in a good mood.
"Wait, what is this?"
Chu Hua was checking the projects in operation in the empire and suddenly discovered a strange project.
[Controversy over traditional food tastes]
[The people of Daxia are having a dispute, the possible impact: unknown]
"What happened? Where did this thing come from?"
Chu Hua quickly contacted Cortana and asked about the incident.
Cortana also gave a detailed report after ten minutes of investigation.
"A few days ago it happened to be a traditional festival in the Eastern District of Daxia, called the Ankang Festival."
"There is a traditional food during the Ankang Festival called Zong, which is a glutinous rice product with other things put inside to add flavor."
"People in the East District don't know why, but they suddenly have different tastes about the traditional food during the Ankang Festival, and now they are arguing in community forums."
"The two groups are divided into sweet and salty parties. It seems that no one is convinced by the other. They both believe that their taste is the orthodox taste of Daxia, and they even want to be canonized as the "National Rice Dumpling"."
Chu Hua was speechless after reading the report.
Party strife is everywhere, and it is strange that taste can cause changes in the state of the empire.
"Then will these people cause some big things?" Chu Hua is concerned about this. It doesn't matter if it makes a scene. The forum is only lively when it is noisy.
At this moment, Chu Hua didn't think it was a big deal after learning about this matter.
Cortana couldn't give any advice on this issue, so she directly contacted a sociology expert and asked him to answer Chu Hua's questions.
The sociologist was also surprised for a while. He did not expect that he was actually visited by His Majesty. He greeted him respectfully and then thought about the problem carefully.
"Does Your Majesty think there might be an impact?"
"Hmm... I think it's unlikely. After all, quarrels on the forum are very normal. In addition, it was the Health Festival a few days ago that caused these heated discussions."
"As expected, in a week or so, these quarrels will slowly subside, so there is no need to worry about it at all."
After listening to the sociology expert's analysis, Chu Hua also nodded with confidence.
"That's true. Most of those who are quarreling are probably following suit, and they should disperse after a while."
This problem was solved quickly.
Chu Hua then shifted his focus to the Three Kingdoms War in the upper right corner of the Daxia Empire.
Whether the Orange Cat Empire can survive the attacks of the two empires is a curious question.
However, the next development of the situation exceeded Chu Hua's imagination.
Just when everyone thought there would be no problems in this sweet and salty party quarrel, something happened.
[Due to the expansion of the Zongzong War, the stability is -1%, and the empire's stability is now 82%]
"!!!" Chu Hua was shocked when he saw this prompt.
Play for fun, make trouble for trouble, don't make fun of stability.
"What's going on, it's starting to have such a big impact!?"
Without further delay, Chu Hua quickly started a meeting and asked Cortana what happened.
Cortana also seemed to have a headache at the moment and began to talk about what happened these days.
Four days ago, inside the Academy of Sciences.
One of the departments of sociology is called traditional food studies.
Due to the postponement of scientific research progress, researchers in the department happened to chat about this sweet and salty debate.
Susan, a loyal sweetie, thinks that sweet rice dumplings are more suitable as national rice dumplings.
Although Sun Zhimei is a salty person, she has no objection to other people's tastes, until Susan said she wanted sweet rice dumplings as the national rice dumplings.
So controversy arose.
"Sorry, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said." Sun Zhimei shook her head and objected to Susan's proposal to classify the sweet rice dumplings as national rice dumplings.
As a traditional food researcher of the Daxia Empire, the title of Guozong can indeed work.
Susan narrowed her eyes, "I didn't expect you to be a salty party member?"
Sun Zhimei looks directly at the other person, even if it is a former colleague, there are some things that cannot be compromised.
"Haha, according to statistics from Planet Daily, the sales volume of salty rice dumplings this year is 4.5 times that of sweet rice dumplings. This can already explain everything."
Susan rolled her eyes, "60% of the food consumed by people in Daxia every year is ready-to-eat. So is the best food fast food?"
"It is a festival food that only comes once a year. It is the choice of so many people in Great Xia. There is no need to refute it with any data."
"Most people are ignorant. Compared with the salty taste that fills the belly, the sweetness that is worth savoring is noble, and it is more qualified to be called the national rice dumpling, okay?"
The quarrel between the two was heard by Peter from the West District, who quickly came to break up the fight.
"Stop arguing, wouldn't it be nice to just mingle together?"
His words caused the two women to glare at each other, and they punched each other and said, "You are so old!"*2
.........
In this way, under the argument between two members of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the sweet and salty partisanship suddenly expanded.
Some companies are also producing rice dumplings in large quantities under this trend, allowing the two parties to compete for dominance.
A conservative estimate is that the number of rice dumplings produced this year is 760% of the previous year.
The huge waste of food and resources immediately caused many problems and indirectly led to a decrease in stability.
In the end, a large number of people's wishes were launched, hoping that His Majesty would be able to make a decision.
In the central area of Daxia, above the high tower.
Chu Hua was sitting in the restaurant.
Marlow put 108 ways to eat rice dumplings in front of Chu Hua, which were also the categories that the sweet and salty parties debated.
After tasting them one by one, Chu Hua had no objections to these two types of rice dumplings.
“The sweet taste is excellent and the layers are distinct.”
“The salty ingredients are tempting and the aftertaste is endless.”
"I really don't know what they are arguing about..."
Next to him, Maruo also agreed with Chu Hua's view and sighed silently, "Every food has its own flavor, so why focus on just one kind?"
Chu Hua picked up a tablecloth and wiped his mouth. He had an idea.
Marlow looked at the professional man and said, "Tell me, have the squid rice dumplings been cooked?"
"Clang!"
When Marlow heard this, his hand holding the dinner plate loosened, and the dinner plate fell to the ground with a sound, "Ah this..."
Finally, the battle between the sweet and salty parties ended.
It ends in peace and no one will compete to be the national rice dumpling.
In the news announcement, the host informed the public of Chu Hua's thoughts.
"Your Majesty is deeply aware of the source of everyone's controversy over the status of the national rice dumpling, but this should not be a reason to waste resources."
"Daxia is a system where a hundred flowers bloom, and only one is not suitable."
"If we must determine the status of the national rice dumpling, it is better to create a new flavor to show Daxia's innovation."
"After your majesty's careful consideration, rice dumplings with mainly umami flavor may be a good choice..."
[Traditional Food Dispute: Resolved]
Chu Hua breathed out after seeing this prompt and shook his head with a wry smile.
"The sage is right, if others don't approve of opening windows, you should remove the roof, so that others will not object to you opening windows..."
