It's a pity that God is not kind to me.
The emperor's brother, the king of a country who was supposed to be a living king, died young.
Be it the previous dynasty or the new dynasty.
They are all the names of my Great Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, brother, you don’t need to be afraid or avoid any topics.
If you have anything, just say whatever you want."
Song Qing looked at Liu Mingzhi's relaxed and calm expression and felt slightly relieved.
"Third brother, to put it this way, my brother is short-sighted.
In this case, Brother Wei said so directly.
In the first year of Dalong Taihe, the imperial court issued a new decree to inform the world.
Anyone who grows potatoes and sweet potatoes and sees foreigners watching will be expelled on the spot.
If the barbarians do not listen to advice, the people can deal with it themselves.
It is no crime to injure someone, and it is no crime to kill someone.
They can also be detained and handed over to the chief official of the local state capital.
Third brother, you should still have an impression about this decree, right?
As I recall, brother, it was you, third brother, who proposed this decree!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and nodded happily.
"You are right, this decree was indeed proposed by this young master.
After I wrote the letter to the emperor, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discussed it for several times before finally issuing it and announcing it to the world."
"Third brother, whether it was when Li Ye was in power or when you are in power now.
This decree has always been maintained and has not been changed.
Those people from Tsarist Russia look completely different from our Dalong people.
Therefore, it means that they were doing business within the territory of our Dalong Heavenly Kingdom.
Because of this decree, they were unable to see up close how people cultivated potatoes and sweet potatoes.
This is the root of another problem that Brother Wei mentioned.
Those caravans from Tsarist Russia were lucky enough to get some potato and sweet potato seeds.
However, they didn't know how to grow these two kinds of food, and they just stared blankly.
Guarding the treasure mountain in vain, there is nothing you can do.
It is from these two situations that I think so.
The final result may not be as bad as we imagined."
After listening to Song Qing's eloquent analysis, Zhou Baoyu clapped his hands excitedly.
"Commander, what Brother Song said makes sense.
Even if those people in Tsarist Russia obtained these two kinds of food, their land might not be suitable for planting!
Even if they are suitable for planting, they may not know how to do it.
The commander-in-chief is indeed a commander-in-chief, and he is indeed a far-sighted person.
As early as more than ten years ago, we had already thought of ways to guard against the barbarians."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea, took a sip, put down the cup, turned around and walked towards his desk.
He casually opened the drawer of the desk, and Young Master Liu silently rummaged inside.
After a while, Liu Mingzhi returned with a few pieces of yellowed rice paper in his hand.
Liu Mingzhi divided several pieces of yellowed rice paper into two pieces and handed them to the two of them respectively.
"Third brother, what is this?"
"Commander?"
Liu Mingzhi untied the tobacco bag and lit another pot of tobacco.
He took a long drag on the dry cigarette and gestured to the rice paper in their hands.
“There is no doubt that the soil of Tsarist Russia can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes.
After Chengfeng and Selina, the young couple, returned from Tsarist Russia with my young master’s eldest grandson.
The soldiers who followed Chengfeng to escort him had already carefully investigated the situation in Tsarist Russia in private.
Regarding the general situation in Tsarist Russia, I remember what I mentioned to you, young master.
What, you two don’t remember?”
Song and Qing were stunned, and immediately lowered their heads to look at the rice paper in their hands.
After reading the contents on the rice paper in their hands, Song and Qing looked at each other awkwardly and laughed bitterly.
"Third brother, to be honest, I have really forgotten these situations.
After seeing the content on the rice paper, I remembered that not only did you mention it to me, but also that my son also reported to me the situation there after he returned me Dalong from Tsarist Russia.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Unfortunately, we haven't discussed the situation in Tsarist Russia again for so long.
Therefore, over time, I gradually put these situations behind me.”
Zhou Baoyu arranged the rice paper in his hand and scratched his neck awkwardly.
"Commander, the situation here is similar to that of Brother Song.
I haven’t paid attention to this aspect for a long time, and I have completely forgotten some situations.”
Liu Mingzhi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and stared at the map in front of him with a faint gaze.
"You have forgotten, but I will never forget."
Song Qing put the yellowed rice paper aside and looked up at the mountains and terrain on the map.
"Third brother, after the first situation is eliminated, there is still one remaining situation."
Zhou Baoyu hesitated for a moment, but this time he didn't agree with anything.
He was afraid that after he echoed Song Qing's words, he would be slapped in the face by Young Master Liu again.
as expected.
Facts have proved that Zhou Baoyu's idea is still correct.
Liu Mingzhi held his dry tobacco in one hand and walked upstream of the vast lines of Dalong's border on the map with the other.
After putting down his right arm, Young Master Liu chuckled happily.
"Brother."
"Um."
"Do you think what Baoyu said before is the Tsarist Russian soldiers who appear around our Dalong border from time to time.
Really, is it as simple as just patrolling their frontier?"
"Third brother, didn't Baoyu just say that?
When he was drinking with some generals of Tsarist Russia, he had already asked those generals.
The reason why they appear there is because of our Dalong..."
As Song Qing spoke, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly turned to look at Zhou Baoyu.
"Brother Baoyu, where were most of the soldiers in your camp who were investigating the surrounding situation discovered to be those Tsarist Russian soldiers?"
“Every situation is different, some are seventeen or eighty-year-old, and some are three or five-year-old.
Sometimes when the weather is bad, there are situations within one or two miles."
