Chapter 202.2
The Great Luo Emperor waved his hand, Alright, these are all due to natural and man-made disasters; I absolve you of any wrongdoing. Rise!
Thank you, Your Majesty! The Minister of Revenue let out a sigh of relief, stood up, but continued to bow respectfully.
How is the grain harvest in our neighboring kingdom? the Great Luo Emperor inquired.
The neighboring kingdom was in direct competition with Great Luo, so it was essential to stay informed about their situation to know both the enemy and oneself, ensuring victory in every battle.
Reporting to Your Majesty, their grain harvests are as follows The Minister of Revenue reported one by one.
The Great Luo Emperor listened and nodded, noting that there wasnt much change from previous years.
However, as he listened, he noticed that one country was omitted.
What about Great Xia? What is the situation in Great Xia? the Great Luo Emperor perked up his ears.
Among the neighboring kingdoms, Great Xia posed the greatest threat to him. Not only was their national power growing stronger, but they also had a Grandmaster swordsman, making them a formidable nation within the Dynasty.
This The Minister of Revenue hesitated.
Sensing something was amiss, the Great Luo Emperor said, Speak the truth, there must be no concealment!
Yes, Your Majesty! This year, Great Xia had a bumper grain harvest, with a total yield of xx catties. They can feed the entire nation without any problem, and there is still a significant surplus!
The face of the Great Luo Emperor turned green in an instant!
His own countrys production had decreased by 30%, while the opponents grain yield had nearly doubled!
Feeding a population of nearly 60 million people and still having a substantial surplus!
People dont fear scarcity but resent inequality!
Great Luo Emperor ranted enviously, Why do they have such abundant grain harvests?
Report to Your Majesty, there are several main reasons!
Firstly, since the beginning of spring this year, they have frequently waged wars abroad and have repeatedly been victorious, which has increased their arable land area by several times! With more arable land, naturally, the grain harvest is much larger! Secondly, Great Xia has spared no expense in organizing tens of millions of common people to reclaim and cultivate land. With more people clearing new land, the grain production naturally increased!
Moreover, since the beginning of summer this year, Great Xia has enjoyed favorable weather and peace, which means theres no problem at all with an increase in grain production!
Great Luo Emperor cursed in frustration!
Why is Great Xia prosperous while we suffer from demonic winds?
Why is the heavens treating him this way?
Its so unfair!
Great Luo Emperor turned around and said, Although Great Xia is powerful, with the support of your Taoist Sect, a battle is not necessarily unwinnable! Are you Taoist Sect afraid of Great Xias Grandmaster and the divine sword?
Indeed, that is one of the reasons!
Song Yufei nodded, That Sword Elder wields a divine sword and is extremely powerful, ranking among the top ten Grandmasters! To contain him, we would need to dispatch two Grandmasters!
Then send two Grandmasters to assist! Great Luo Emperor said.
Song Yufei shook her head, No, we need to send at least three!
Great Luo Emperor was puzzled, Why three?
Because, the Great Xia Emperor has recently taken a consort named Han Chuchu, who comes from no ordinary background! Her father is a Grandmaster who has been in seclusion for many years and has now joined Great Xia!
Damn it!
Great Xia actually has two Grandmasters!
The Great Luo Emperor is so envious his eyes are turning red!
Up to now, his Great Luo doesnt have a single Grandmaster, so he has to rely entirely on the Taoist Sect!
What kind of virtue did that foolish emperor accumulate in his past life for all the good things in the world to come his way?
So, Your Majesty, do you still intend to continue attacking Great Xia? Song Yufei asked.
Forget it! The Great Luo Emperor said with a sheepish smile.
There are only a few Grandmasters in the Taoist Sect, and each one of them is highly esteemed and revered!
He doesnt think he has enough clout to request the help of three Grandmasters for his cause!
One is possible, two depends on luck, but three is out of the question!
Therefore, he had to shift his target.
Fairy, what do you think about the Great Feng Dynasty?
