Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "I dare not say anything else. If the land is poor, my nephew may have some ideas."
"Oh?" Originally, Wang Xuan wanted to sign a long-term low-price food supply contract with Fang Xiaoyu this time, but Fang Xiaoyu came up with a way for him. Fang Xiaoyu said: "My nephew has two crops in his hands, which can both supply food and grain."
It can be eaten by humans and used as feed.”
Wang Xuan was surprised and said: "Is there such a good thing?"
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Yes, these two crops are corn and potatoes. Both crops can be used as staple food, and the barren land has little impact on them. The yield of corn per mu can reach thousands of kilograms.
Most livestock can be used as feed. Potatoes can produce thousands of kilograms per mu, and can be used for cooking. Although eating too much may cause stomach bloating, it is still very cost-effective if combined with other grains."
"There is such a magical thing." Wang Xuan's eyes widened, while Wang Ling looked at Fang Xiaoyu with admiration.
Seeing the strange looks in their father and daughter's eyes, Fang Xiaoyu coughed lightly and said: "In addition, my nephew also has some excellent breeds of cattle and sheep. My uncle can also try to raise some. I believe they are good."
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "This is really good. With the help of my wise nephew, I think the problem I am most worried about can be solved. But is it possible for our Tubo County to grow some cotton like the one in Loulan County?"
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Cotton requires long sunshine and high temperatures. The terrain here is higher and the climate is colder, which is not suitable for planting. However, I heard that there are many specialties there, and if you sell them, you can earn a lot of money."
Wang Xuan sighed and said: "The roads in Tubo County are difficult to navigate and entry and exit are not easy. Only horses can enter and exit easily, and other specialties can only enter and exit with the horses."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "The road is difficult, and it is not difficult to transport it out. Now the court plans to build a railway from the capital to the northwest. I just need to make a small detour in the name of the difficult road to enclose my uncle's place. How many people will there be by then?"
Everything can be shipped.”
"Railway?" Wang Xuan was a little confused about this new term. After Fang Xiaoyu explained the convenience and speed of the railway, Wang Xuan was very interested and thanked Fang Xiaoyu repeatedly.
At this time, the food and wine were served, and the three of them drank and chatted among each other. Wang Xuan said: "My nephew has helped me so much, and I really can't repay him in return."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "We lords are all in the same spirit, so we should support each other."
Wang Xuan said with a smile: "That said, I really can't bear it. My nephew only buys draft horses and pack horses from me, but he never buys war horses. I don't know if my nephew is interested in cavalry."
"Cavalry?" Fang Xiaoyu, who was accustomed to large-scale mechanized troops and tank group charges in later generations, really didn't have much interest in cavalry, otherwise there wouldn't be only one cavalry regiment put together.
However, Fang Xiaoyu found that in the war with the Cossack Empire, the roads in the endless Far Eastern Plains and Berea Plain were difficult to navigate, and cavalry was really a very good choice. He could try to build a cavalry force, at least until tanks appeared.
It is an effective supplement to your own army's mobility.
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "My nephew is somewhat interested, but firstly there are not so many horses, and secondly, I don't have experienced cavalry generals, so my nephew has only one cavalry regiment, which is made up of the previous cavalry messengers."
from."
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "What's the difficulty? The only thing in Tubo County is that it has many horses and cavalry. If you don't dislike it, I will give you a group of horses and send some people to form a cavalry unit for you. Waiting for your cavalry
After training, let them come back."
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "That's a good thing, but my nephew can't ask for my uncle's horses for free. It's better to exchange grain for war horses. This way, my uncle will have enough grain and my nephew will have a stable source of war horses."
Wang Xuan did not refuse after listening to Fang Xiaoyu's suggestion: "Okay, I will send some cavalry officers with enough horses after the New Year."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Then my nephew will be waiting for you." Exchange of food for war horses is a good link for Wang Xuan to maintain a relationship with him. Even if he does not need war horses, this transaction is still necessary. As for how to exchange, you have to decide
Let the people below talk about it. As long as the two lords reach an agreement, it will be enough.
While drinking, Wang Xuan asked in a low voice: "The war between you and the Cossack Empire is not over yet. I wonder what my nephew thinks?"
Fang Xiaoyu put down his glass and said: "The Cossacks are at the end of their game and don't have much strength anymore. On land, I have built a strong enough fortification group. It will not be a problem to resist the Cossacks' attack. As for the sea, the large warships of the Cossack Empire have all
The army has been destroyed, and their navy can only use regular passenger ships to come to the Eastern Continent." Fang Xiaoyu made a moderate joke, and the three of them all laughed.
The meal was enjoyed by both host and guest, and both parties reached a series of agreements. After the meal, Wang Xuan proposed that Wang Ling send Fang Xiaoyu back home, but Fang Xiaoyu agreed after he resisted for a while.
Fang Xiaoyu did not bring Elena to this meal. After all, this was a guest dinner, and Fang Xiaoyu was reluctant to let Elena wait outside for him for so long, so he only brought some ordinary guards.
On the way back, Wang Ling did not ride her own horse, but took the initiative to sit on Fang Xiaoyu's carriage. The atmosphere between the two of them sitting in the carriage was a bit awkward, and Fang Xiaoyu suddenly found that he did not know what to say.
Wang Ling suddenly glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and said lightly: "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Ah?" Fang Xiaoyu was unprepared. When he heard Wang Ling's question, his mind couldn't turn around for a while.
Wang Ling smoothed her short hair around her ears and said, "Actually, I know that you don't like me with an appearance like mine. Not to mention the Xia sisters, even your female guard is prettier than me."
Fang Xiaoyu quickly explained: "No, you are actually very beautiful, and you have a heroic spirit that they don't have."
Wang Ling's face turned red and she said, "Really? Even though I know you are trying to make me happy, I am still very happy."
Fang Xiaoyu said: "No, I am definitely not coaxing you. In fact, you are really beautiful." Fang Xiaoyu's tone was still very sincere, because if you look closely, although Wang Ling is not as stunning as Elena, she is still above average.
, and the heroic spirit unique to soldiers is something ordinary girls don’t have.
Wang Ling heard the sincerity in Fang Xiaoyu's tone, and a happy smile appeared on her face. She added: "In the past two years, my father has always talked about you and praised you for your ability. It took me several years to
It is more powerful than a family's accumulation of hundreds of years. Even my uncles highly praise you and think that you will become the strongest person in the empire after Marshal Xia."
"Really?" Fang Xiaoyu said: "Actually, I would rather live a more relaxed life, find a quiet place and live a carefree life with my loved one. Unfortunately, I have things I have to do, and I really can't help myself.
.”
Wang Ling was also touched after hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words: "Actually, I have the same idea as you. It's a pity that my father only has a daughter like me. He raised me as a boy since I was a child, hoping that I could inherit his position."
Fang Xiaoyu sighed: "We are all fallen people from the end of the world, and we are each other."
"Are we both from the end of the world?" Wang Ling said with a smile: "You are so talented and knowledgeable, and your casual words are so meaningful."
Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and did not explain much. Now he has discovered the benefit of coming to a different world. If he plagiarizes some popular poems casually, he will be said to be talented and learned, because no one here has heard of these famous poems that have been immortalized through the ages.
It seems that I will quote it more in the future, and maybe I can convince some great talents to be willing to do things for myself.
Fang Xiaoyu was daydreaming and thinking about his own concerns. He didn't realize that Wang Ling was looking at him with a gentle look. Wang Ling, who was always aggressive and lively, could actually show such a gentle look. I'm afraid even Wang Xuan
You will be surprised when you come.
"Master, we've arrived." The words of the guard outside brought both of them back from their thoughts. Only when Wang Ling heard the words of the guard outside did she realize that she had lost her composure. She lowered her head and pushed back her hair to hide her inner panic.
After calming down, Wang Ling said to Fang Xiaoyu: "Since you have arrived at your residence, I will go back." Fang Xiaoyu said: "Go in and sit for a while. You can have a cup of tea before leaving."
Wang Ling shook her head: "No need, it's getting so late, let's talk about it next time when we get the chance." Wang Ling opened the car door and turned around before getting out of the car: "Do you really think I'm beautiful?" Then she didn't wait for Fang Xiaoyu.
He jumped out of the car in response.
Fang Xiaoyu watched Wang Ling get on her horse and leave with her bodyguard, and sighed leisurely: "This is troublesome, I'm afraid I'm in trouble again, but the other party's father is the Imperial God of War, a lord, so this
Things are really getting into trouble."
Thinking about it, although the Xia sisters didn't say anything about Elena's joining, they must be very uncomfortable in their hearts. This is because Elena is just an elf, at least her status will not make them feel threatened now. If
It's different when you add Wang Ling. Behind Wang Ling is Tubo County and the Wang family. With such strength, even the Tingwei sisters who are from the Xia family will feel threatened.
After all, Wang Ling is Wang Xuan's only daughter, and Sister Tingwei is not the only bloodline in the Xia family's head family. Fang Xiaoyu sighed, thinking about this kind of thing is annoying, and it is better not to provoke Wang Ling herself, so as not to worry about her own backyard
Fire.
It was already very late when he got home. Fang Xiaoyu did not go to see his family and went directly back to his small courtyard to rest. Xiaofeng, who had just laid on the bed after a long absence, suddenly called him. This was the first time Xiaofeng called him. Fang Xiaoyu immediately
