Chapter 922 Represents the interests of the general public!
Whether it is war or land reclamation, food comes first.
The Xi Kingdom is the great granary of the Southern Wilderness. The grain produced by one country is equivalent to half of the Southern Wilderness countries. As soon as the summer grain came on the market, the major imperial clans in the Central Plains who opened up wasteland and established the country in the Southern Barbarians rushed to the Xi Kingdom to buy grain.
After buying future grain, you can come to Xidu to deliver the grain when the contract expires. Some people want to buy cash grain. Among them, there are many leading figures of the divine descendants of the major imperial clans.
It stands to reason that Yao Yun has to come forward to meet with the leading figures of the divine descendants of the major imperial clans. These people are likely to become princes in the future. There are only advantages and no disadvantages in making friends in advance.
But unfortunately, Yao Yun's thoughts were clear, his mental power was sublimated, and his Qi refining cultivation was rising steadily, and he was on the verge of a breakthrough, so Yao Yun simply stayed behind closed doors and concentrated on practicing. Even Emperor Qi and Jiang Wu
Xu, Gongsun Wu and other top imperial clan divine leaders ignored him, and instead asked Sun Muyue and other Xi Kingdom officials to come forward.
Let the officials of the Xi Kingdom receive the leaders of the major imperial clans, but in this special period, having food is great, and having food means you can do whatever you want.
Yao Yun did not come forward to entertain any of the leaders of the imperial clan's divine descendants. Not only did the major imperial clans have no objections, but they were happy that Yao Yun did not come forward, so that everyone could compete fairly for food.
Of course, Yao Yun was not obsessed with cultivation and ignored political affairs. In fact, every few days, Su Muyue would report to Yao Yun on important matters in the country, including the food issue in the Southern Wilderness.
As the major imperial clans in the Middle East stationed themselves in the Southern Barbarians, opened up wasteland and built cities, with the intention of stabilizing their operations and completely occupying the territory, the Southern Barbarian countries were also anxious. Not only did the number of monster armies sent increase in number, there were also small and medium-sized groups on the borders of both sides.
Local conflicts broke out and wars continued.
War consumes a lot of food.
In particular, Zhu Xia is mostly an elite division. Once the formation is activated, the strength of the entire elite division will be greatly increased, but the soldiers themselves will consume a lot. Qi refining masters are not bad, and they can make up for it through Qi refining practice, but for ordinary people,
For soldiers, eating supplements is the only way.
Once the food cannot keep up, it is okay in the short term, but once the war is long and protracted, the army's combat effectiveness will plummet, and many soldiers will often die young and buried in the mountains due to physical losses.
Because of this, the Central-Turk Imperial Clan, who were on the front line of the war to resist the counterattack of the Southern Barbarian countries, had an increasing demand for food, and they wanted to stock up on more food just in case of unforeseen needs.
War relies on logistical capabilities. Yao Yun understands the behavior of the major imperial clans in China to hoard grain, but he cannot do it if he is asked to sell grain without reservation.
The Xi Kingdom is also a prince along the Southern Wilderness and one of the main forces in the expansion of territory. In order to survive the upcoming turbulent situation, the Xi Kingdom itself must reserve a large amount of food, and it is impossible to fully satisfy the Central Earth Imperial Clan.
The food needs of the aasionic beings.
Demand is greater than production, which has also led to high food prices in various parts of the Southern Wilderness. Today, many imperial clan gods have begun to pawn treasures and mortgage loans to raise funds and purchase food.
Generally speaking, in this battle for food, there are always people who cannot buy enough food as they wish, and because of this, there are always people who will gradually fall behind in this long-distance race to expand territory!
This is the process of fighting for heritage and power. There are only a few divine descendants of the Imperial Clan who are truly opportunistic and exploiting the territory in this wilderness. Most of the people who are emerging are backed by a huge family.
Yao Yun had also thought about taking the opportunity to promote sweet potatoes. The introduction of this high-yielding grain during this time of food shortage would undoubtedly be nectar from heaven. The major imperial families in the Middle East would definitely be very happy to try to cultivate sweet potatoes.
High yield, resistant to barrenness, stable yield, and can be cultivated on sandy soil... Once the gods of the Central Earth Emperor tribe tried it and learned about the advantages of sweet potatoes, they would definitely regard it as a treasure sent from heaven and promote it vigorously.
As long as the divine descendants of the Central-Earth Imperial Clan in the Southern Wilderness cultivate sweet potatoes, it is no surprise that all the major princely states in Central-Earth will follow suit and vigorously promote sweet potatoes.
It can be said that as long as Yao Yun opens his mouth to promote sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes will soon be widely promoted.
As soon as this idea came up, Yao Yun was a little tempted, but he quickly shook his head and rejected it.
It is true that the Southern Wilderness countries and major areas are short of food at the moment, and it is indeed a good opportunity to promote sweet potatoes. However, if this is really done, it seems that the Xi Kingdom will suffer a bit, as it will be too cheap for the descendants of the great imperial clans in China.
Nowadays, in the Southern Wilderness countries, major areas are short of food and food prices are skyrocketing. This puts a lot of pressure on the descendants of the gods of the major imperial clans in the Middle East. It is not a good thing, but it is an excellent benefit for the Xi Kingdom, which is a large producer.
The people of Xi Kingdom benefited a lot from it. Every time new grain came on the market, the people of Xi Kingdom made a lot of money.
If Yao Yun launches high-yield sweet potatoes at this time, he will help the descendants of the gods of the major imperial clans in China, but it will hurt the people of his own country.
With the evidence of heaven and earth, Yao Yun and Hanba Empress found sweet potatoes, and their contribution to promoting sweet potatoes cannot be lost. If a disaster occurs in the future, sweet potatoes save the world and save their lives, they will definitely bring merit to heaven and earth.
At that time, the only people who suffered great losses were the people of Xi Kingdom and the Southern Wilderness Kingdoms.
For the sake of the major imperial clans in China, the people of Xi Kingdom suffered great losses?
Yao Yun knew very well that his "root" was not the princes of the Xia Dynasty, nor the name of the Fang Bo, but the tens of thousands of people of the Xi Kingdom. If he lost the hearts of the people, he would really lose everything.
He always represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people of the Xi Kingdom. It is impossible for him to do anything that harms the interests of the people of the Xi Kingdom for the sake of outsiders, and it is even less possible for him to do anything to put his hot face on the cold buttocks of the Central Earth Imperial Clan.
At this time, the large-scale introduction of sweet potatoes to outside the Xi Kingdom was benefiting others and harming oneself, and the gains outweighed the losses. The major imperial families in the Middle Earth may be very grateful to this fool, but they will never repay him.
On the contrary, if Yao Yun betrays the trust of the people of Xi Kingdom, offends the Southern Wilderness countries, and violates the Southern Fang Bo's duties, all Yao Yun's efforts in the Southern Wilderness Institute in the past few years may be ruined and his influence will be greatly reduced.
.
There is a story that illustrates this problem very well. A family suffered a fire. The owner of the house looked down upon the people who kindly warned of the fire in advance. He was grateful to those who informed the fire in time and repaid those who participated in the disaster relief with generous hospitality.
It stands to reason that those who give early warning should be thanked the most, but unfortunately, this is often not the case.
If Yao Yun wants to vigorously promote sweet potatoes and prevent problems before they happen, he will become an "early warning person". He has indeed done a great thing, but it is very likely that he will not receive much gratitude, and a disaster will occur.
, sweet potatoes help the world, maybe the people from all over the world are grateful not to Yao Yun, but to the local emperor who vigorously promoted sweet potatoes.
It can be seen from this that it is general.
Yao Yun is not a person who values fame, but he definitely doesn't like making wedding clothes for others.
Of course sweet potatoes need to be promoted, but the timing of promotion is very delicate. It cannot be early or late. It needs to be just right and the opportunity needs to be obtained.
Although Xiguo sweet potatoes are popular at the moment, they are currently not cultivated by the private sector and are still controlled by the Xiguo state-owned industry. The outside world does not know much about sweet potatoes. They only know that sweet potatoes are a sweet and delicious delicacy and are currently considered a "luxury product".
"No one in the outside world knows that sweet potatoes are so high-yielding, don't know that sweet potatoes are resistant to drought and barrenness, and don't know the various advantages of sweet potatoes...
Yao Yun does not intend to change. The best situation at present is to promote sweet potatoes in the country of Xi. First, the state-owned grain farms of the country of Xi will plant sweet potatoes on a large scale in the land under the name of the palace treasury, reserve enough sweet potato varieties, and wait quietly for the big harvest.
The time to promote sweet potatoes on a large scale.
