Chapter 272 The South China Sea Beyond the Great Wall
"This time, in addition to the army, I also brought a population of 20,000, including many skilled craftsmen!"
"Construction, reclamation, smelting, casting, weaving, planting, carpentry, etc...it's all there!"
Nan Yanxi changed the topic and looked at Li Yu: "Brother Li, everyone has seen your achievements during this period."
"I hope you will continue your efforts and find ways to mobilize all the people in Beiyuan so that Beiyuan can be freed from poverty and backwardness as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Li Yu hurriedly saluted and was flattered: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I have ministers here, so don't worry!"
Then he added: "In the past six months, I have learned a lot about the rain, climate and temperature of Beiyuan, and I have also walked around in the company of Prince Surel."
"I found that although the winter in the North Plains is relatively cold, there is abundant rain in spring and summer."
"There are many rivers and lakes, and the water resources are quite abundant."
"Such as barley, wheat, rice, corn, corn, beans and various grains can be grown."
"And the wheat straw, rice straw, straw, bran, and even the grain itself left behind after harvesting these grains can also be fed to cattle and sheep. The tradition of livestock husbandry of our people in the North Plains will not change."
"There are also potatoes and sweet potatoes that His Highness sent last time. They are even better. Not only are they high-yielding, but they can also be used for fruits and seedlings."
After speaking, Li Yu patted his chest confidently: "So, I am confident that in less than ten years, I will be able to turn Beiyuan into a city that blocks the South China Sea!"
"That's good..." Nan Yanxi smiled and nodded, not forgetting to say: "Of course, we can't just develop agriculture, other industries must also be involved."
"Strive to let a hundred flowers bloom!"
Li Yu quickly nodded and agreed: "Your Highness, don't worry, my subordinates will go all out."
…
The night on the grassland is very beautiful.
The grassland under the stars is extremely peaceful.
It's early spring now, and the grasslands of Beiyuan are still a little cold. A figure is standing on top of the tall city gate of Qiaonuo City.
"Sister Ye...haven't you fallen asleep yet?"
The sudden sound from behind made Ye Zhiyu startled.
He slowly turned his head and smiled sweetly: "Master, I'm not sleeping either."
Nan Yanxi walked a few steps forward with a smile and stood side by side with her.
Looking up, there are occasional sparks on the vast grassland.
The melodious howl of wolves was intermittent, drifting into the distance with the breeze.
"Now...Beiyuan is settled, right?"
"Well...yeah..." Ye Zhiyu sighed slightly, turned around and stared at him for a long time with a strange look on his face.
Nan Yanxi stared at her with some fury. She lowered her head to look at her clothes, and then touched her face in confusion.
"Uh...is there something on my face?"
Ye Zhiyu suddenly burst into laughter, then stared into his eyes and said seriously: "Sometimes, I even suspect that you...are a god descended to earth."
"Huh?" Nan Yanxi scratched her head in confusion: "Why do you say that?"
"Seizing the South China Sea, defeating the Yan Dynasty, and pacifying the Northern Plains, I am prepared to spend at least one year doing each of these things!"
Ye Zhiyu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But here, everything is just like playing house."
"In seizing the South China Sea, your biggest rival, Nan Yunxi, is actually a girl! And she ran to the Qinglian Mountains for no reason, and then you pushed her onto the bed!"
"The 70,000 elite soldiers of Dayan joined forces with Nan Yuexi's 50,000 troops to attack in a sneak attack. I don't know where you invented the new weapon, but you actually reversed the decline in a few days."
"That grandson of the emperor was captured by you in a daze, and then the two countries signed an alliance."
"Besides, in Pingbei Plain, what others couldn't do in hundreds of years can be done here in just a few days."
Ye Zhiyu smiled and sighed: "So, I always feel that God is taking special care of you."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi shrugged with a smile and said: "Maybe it's because... I'm more handsome..."
"Bah..." Ye Zhiyu rolled his eyes: "I think it's because you are shameless."
After a pause, he asked Nan Yanxi: "Now, we have completed three steps, and Daxia itself cannot be protected, so our plan has become much easier."
Nan Yanxi nodded: "Yes, many of the worries I had before are no longer important now."
"So...I think it's most appropriate to have quick soldiers and quick action. When Daxia doesn't react, strike first."
Hearing what he said, Ye Zhiyu shook his head helplessly: "You know, sometimes I feel that I am superfluous."
"I was thinking about this just now, and you said it directly."
"So I even feel that you can do everything in the world with or without me."
"That's what I said." Nan Yanxi laughed: "All of you are very important to me!"
"Everyone?" Ye Zhiyu was stunned: "Who else is there? It's not the women who are talking about you, is it?"
"Yes, exactly!" Nan Yanxi nodded and said very seriously: "You are all important to me!"
One sentence made Ye Zhiyu's pretty face turn red: "What are you talking about! I'm not your woman."
"Hehe..." Seeing this, Nan Yanxi smiled evilly and turned her head: "Sooner or later, will you be able to avoid this?"
"I am not willing to let anyone else marry such an outstanding and beautiful daughter!"
After saying that, he muttered in a low voice: "Besides, you've seen everything you should see, and she's still not my woman?"
"You... shut up!" Ye Zhiyu frowned and raised his hand to hit him, but Nan Yanxi grabbed him.
Immediately after entering the embrace area, Ye Zhiyu was unprepared and was pulled into his embrace.
"You...what are you doing?"
Holding the beauty in his arms from behind, Nan Yanxi took a deep breath and greedily smelled her hair.
Seeing Ye Zhiyu's nervous expression, I couldn't help but feel happy.
Bad and bad said: "Why don't you do anything...it's just a bit cold..."
As he spoke, he pretended to sneeze and trembled on purpose.
Ye Zhiyu quickly asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you catching a cold? Do you have a fever?"
Seeing her reaction like this, Nan Yanxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes, yes... I just caught a cold."
"I think it was last night. I missed Sister Ye so much that I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk. I was freezing."
When Ye Zhiyu heard this, he immediately agreed to come over. It was evident from his pitiful appearance that he couldn't bear to scold him.
She could only shake her head helplessly and let him hug her from behind.
"You...when will you grow up?"
Ye Zhiyu looked at the darkness in the distance and sighed slightly: "The country is picturesque, so beautiful..."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi also raised her head that was resting on Ye Zhiyu's shoulders.
"No matter how beautiful she is, she's not as beautiful as my sister Ye, hehe..."
As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his head and said softly to Ye Zhiyu's earlobe: "Sister Ye is so beautiful, when did she obey my lord?"
"Ouch... it's itchy... stop making trouble..." Ye Zhiyu felt weak all over for a moment.
She wanted to dodge, but was held tightly by Nan Yanxi, unable to break free.
I had no choice but to beg for mercy: "Oh... don't stop... stop making trouble... it's itchy..."
After struggling for a long time to no avail, he had no choice but to say: "You...have so many women, and I am the only one missing?"
"Hey! That's right! I have many women, but you are the only one missing me!"
Nan Yanxi looked rogue: "Good sister... the weather here is so cold, and the bed is also cold... my brother has caught a cold."
"You stinky boy! Get out of here...!" As smart as Ye Zhiyu, he couldn't decipher what Nan Yanxi meant.
He scolded in feigned anger: "I know that you brat has no good intentions. What's wrong? Do you want your sister to warm your bed?"
"Hehehehe..." Nan Yanxi smiled and admitted directly and generously: "Yes, yes, I have this intention!"
Then he put on a fierce expression and said: "What? My lord has an order, how dare you disobey me?"
"Believe it or not, my lord will give you directly..."
"What are you doing for?" Ye Zhiyu's beautiful eyes widened: "Be careful, my sister will beat you!"
"Besides, I'm already so old and you're just twenty years old, so this is really inappropriate!"
"What's inappropriate about this?" Nan Yanxi raised her head and said, "I don't think you're old, but you don't think I'm small."
"Besides, I don't even mind Sister Qingyan's age, let alone you, Sister Ye."
After saying that, Nan Yanxi paused, then leaned into her ear again and said with a wicked smile: "And...my brother wants to warn you."
"I wouldn't mind it if you were a little older, but having a baby would be troublesome."
"We are so talented and beautiful, it would be a pity not to have three or two children to play with!"
