Chapter 758: Monarchs who have never seen the world
Three days later.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Wilderness countries have almost arrived. The troops and horses of the kings of each country have been stationed in Licheng. The kings are currently rushing to the Xidu..." In the Fenghuang Palace, the Prime Minister Sun Muyue reported to Yao Yun the matters related to the king's banquet.
Because all the countries in the Southern Wilderness wanted to see this "May Day Wonder" before the rice was harvested, the kings of each country were very prompt and set out early. Except for Wu Chuyue, the Izumo Kingdom and the surrounding vassal states sent elite troops, and the rest of the country
All the vassal states, big and small, were all simple and simple. They only brought a few high-level Qi refiners with them for complete protection and extraordinary foot power. In just three days, almost all the kings of the countries had arrived.
"Hmm~ Not bad!" Yao Yun listened to Sun Muyue's report that the monarch's banquet was properly arranged, and was very satisfied at the moment: "Taking advantage of the opportunity of ripening, we invited all the countries. This time, our country Xi shines brightly and becomes the hegemon.
This is the best time, there is no room for error, dear friends, be prepared."
"Follow the king's orders!"
In the main hall, ministers such as Wu Tong, Bald Long, Sun Muyue, Bailihuang, Cangman, etc. had smiles on their faces and looked relaxed.
Xiguo has strong power and full confidence. From the monarch and ministers to the common people, they have never been stage frightened, neither humble nor overbearing, and welcomed distinguished guests from various countries in the Southern Wilderness with an open and enthusiastic attitude.
The next day, when the kings of various countries entered the Xidu City, a majestic, prosperous and vibrant super capital city appeared in front of them little by little.
The vast capital city, the prosperous commerce... Every king who sets foot in Xidu is in a daze.
For a moment, I remembered that when they had just succeeded to the throne, they were young and frivolous and had ambitions to lead the country to prosperity and become the overlord.
But the reality is cruel, and there are very few kings who can realize their youthful ambitions.
In the end, they understood the truth that the hegemony of one party is not achieved overnight, but only after generations of hard work and hard work can the world be dominated.
However, when they saw the majesty of the capital and the prosperity of their fortunes, the self-comfort in the hearts of the kings of various countries was like window paper, which was torn apart in an instant.
There is actually a king in this world who, in less than ten years, turned a small border country that was weak and poor and with a decline in its masters of Qi alchemy into a huge country with a population of millions and half a hundred cities...
It’s not that “youth and frivolousness are hard to achieve”, it’s that they are incompetent and unable to govern the country. What a painful realization this is!
Of course, there are always very few people who have the ability to self-reflect.
When Yao Yun personally came out to receive the kings of various countries, princes and ministers, and when everyone saw Yao Yun's young and heroic face, many of them felt sour in their hearts.
Yao Yun did not have a delicate heart and could not guess the thoughts of the kings of various countries, but he saw shock and envy on the faces of the kings of various countries, which made him feel good. He worked hard for several years and occasionally showed his strength. This feeling was very good.
Especially when Yao Yun saw Uncle Izumo among the monarchs, his mood became even more subtle.
As soon as the banquet started, the kings, princes, and prime ministers of various countries took their seats. For a moment, the entire Southern Wilderness gathered together, and the scene was huge!
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, the feast was almost finished. The kings of various countries got straight to the point and proposed to see the rice that is said to be harvested twice a year.
"Hahaha, what's wrong with this? One hundred acres of plastered rice seeds haven't been harvested yet, and they're all waiting for you. In this case, you might as well go and have a look with me."
Yao Yun had no intention of whetting his appetite. Soon after the banquet dispersed, Yao Yun led a group of monarchs from Xidu to Chishui City. It was a mighty and spectacular event.
Once you cross Qingqiu Mountain and follow the road straight to Chishui Plain, you will see rippling blue waves and endless rice fields as far as the eye can see, as if you are on a grassland.
“What a rich and precious land!”
There are many highlands and hills in the Southern Wilderness, but it is so rare to see such a flat, fertile plain. When the kings of various countries saw the plains on both sides of the Chishui River, they couldn't help but sigh, envy, and hate.
"This Chishui Plain was conquered by Gu a few years ago. It was originally a wasteland. Thanks to the hard work of the people, it became what it is today. It is said that when Gu reclaimed this land, many people blocked it..."
When the Marquis of Chu and Uncle Izumo heard Yao Yun's emotion, their faces immediately became a little embarrassed, turning blue and white. Isn't this what they were talking about?
"Ahem~" Chu Hou coughed: "Xiyun Hou, I don't know where the plastered rice is. Why can I only see ordinary rice but no mature plastered rice?"
Yao Yun just wanted to tease him a few words, without any intention of attacking him. He smiled immediately and stopped as soon as he was satisfied: "Don't worry, Marquis Chu, we are just ahead."
Under the leadership of Yao Yun, a group of monarchs quickly arrived at the 100-acre gypsum rice experimental field.
One hundred acres of rice is neither too much nor too little. It will still take a long time to harvest, but fortunately there is no shortage of manpower at the moment. There will already be a large number of army lieutenants harvesting rice in the fields.
At a glance, nearly twenty acres of gypsum rice have been harvested, and more than half of it has not yet been harvested.
The golden rice waves rise and fall in the wind, shining dazzlingly under the sunlight, making people intoxicated by the beauty of this harvest.
"My lords, this is rice that can be harvested twice a year!"
The Marquis of Chu, the Marquis of Wu, the Marquis of Yue, Izuyun Bo, as well as the kings, crown princes and ministers of various vassal states in the Southern Wilderness were amazed when they saw this scene.
The bald dragon, the second elder Wu Tong and a group of ministers accompanied him. Looking at the unseen appearance of the kings of various countries, they couldn't help showing contempt.
"It's really mature. It can't be caused by secret techniques."
"This is impossible. There are dozens of acres of rice now. How could anyone have such ability? Today is no better than in ancient times. With the disappearance of divine power, the gods will not be able to do it even if they can..."
"Sure enough, there is rice that matures in May. It's incredible, it's incredible!"
...
The monarchs of various countries were talking a lot, and they looked like they had learned a lot. Many monarchs even went directly to the fields, picked the rice ears themselves, held them in their hands and played with them. From time to time, they whispered to the ministers around them. The scene was extremely lively for a time.
Yao Yun waited quietly for the kings of various countries. When he saw that everyone was almost there, he smiled and said: "Kings, as you can see, these ointment rice grow naturally, not by secret magic. It is true that they are harvested twice a year."
All the kings laughed teasingly, and the crown prince of a certain country who just claimed that the secret technique caused birth bowed his head in embarrassment.
"Marquis Xiyun, do you know how much the yield of plastered rice per mu is?"
The Marquis of Yue held a stalk of rice in his hand and looked at the ears of rice, which were full and full of grains. He couldn't help but wonder what the yield of this paste rice was, and how much food could be increased by two crops a year for the country.
The kings of various countries were also very curious about this question. When they heard that the Marquis of Yue asked about their doubts, the kings of Chu, Wu, Izuyun, etc. all looked at Yao Yun.
Yao Yun was also very curious, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I am quite curious, why don't I order someone to harvest an acre of rice on the spot? What do you princes think?"
