I'm usually so ladylike and reserved, how could I possibly...

When they came out of the room, Huang Cao and Kal'tsit had already prepared two cups of hot tea.

Meanwhile, there was a painting on the table.

Was it discovered so quickly?

Shu was somewhat surprised. He had initially thought he needed to explain further, but then...

"Miss Shu, welcome to my territory. I apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality, but I would appreciate it if you could explain why..."

Chapter 175 Millet: Too big to hold in one hand~

"Please let me explain in detail."

Shu coughed a few times, his face still very pale.

Kal'tsit seemed to be worried that the other person was thirsty, so she poured juice from another pot.

But just as it was being served, Huang Cao stopped the glass of juice, shook it, and found that it wasn't sticky or sticky, so she finally handed it to Shu with peace of mind.

"Is this some kind of Sarkaz ceremony being held?"

Shu looked at the juice in her hand, unsure whether she should drink it or not, but she was indeed a little hungry.

In this area, her body is now almost indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person.

"It's nothing, it's just that my maid is a little mischievous and likes to play pranks."

"Your Excellency, this is pure slander."

"Shut up, it's not like we haven't done it before."

Warfarin and Lamian had both been taught a lesson by the maid's pranks, though for them it wasn't really a prank.

After all, it's not like we haven't tasted it before, but millet is a guest, even if it's an uninvited guest.

Who knows how badly I've disciplined this cat? Its behavior has completely deviated from the original storyline; only its face and tone of voice are similar.

In fact, Kal'tsit only acts this way in front of Huang Cao; she's not so easy to talk to in front of others.

Since we can't defy Master Huang, we'll just use this guy as a tool for our own pleasure.

I've toiled for tens of thousands of years, can't I enjoy myself?

In short, after Shu Yi's red-faced explanation, Huang Cao also understood the current predicament of the Yan Country.

"As I just said, Yan Country is currently facing a food shortage for tens of millions of people, which is why we would like to ask Mr. Huang for help. We will try our best to keep this from foreign countries. Rest assured, Yan Country will be prepared to pay the price."

Shu held a teacup in his hands, his tone gentle and sincere.

At the same time, there was also concern that Master Huang might be shocked by this number. After all, providing food for tens of millions of people for nearly half a year is not something that can be done casually. Even other countries would have to think twice about it.

Huang Cao was indeed thinking that, according to the plan, he shouldn't get involved in Yan Country's affairs too early, as he still had a lot of land to digest.

Moreover, this is also a way to weaken the power of other countries. In theory, whether or not you lend money, the reason lies with yourself.

However, it seems that making plans in advance is not necessarily a bad thing.

But if it's just that, it's not quite right...

"You know, having so much grain is a considerable challenge for me as well. My territory doesn't even have tens of millions of people in total, although it's not like I can't produce enough..."

Master Huang is incredibly generous; with the blessing of Abundance divine power, his territory has long since achieved a surplus of food.

However, selling only grain would be too unprofitable.

Just when Shu thought that Master Huang might raise the price, he was surprised when the other party said something else.

"It just so happens that I will be Trailblaze Yan Country's commercial territory in the future. I can distribute these grains to the disaster victims at a preferential price according to the international grain price I set, but only to the disaster victims, and the distribution must be done by my people."

"Furthermore, Yan Country must provide me with preferential policies and take care of me when I open a factory or conduct other legal and compliant business activities in this country in the future."

Shu carefully wrote down all these conditions; she didn't dislike people who were driven by fame and profit.

On the contrary, if it is really given away for free, it is hard not to suspect that there are other ulterior motives, although Mr. Huang's current grain donation is basically a generous act of kindness in terms of price.

The other party had every reason to raise the price, but did not.

Mr. Huang and the letter conveyed almost the same feeling: gentle and generous.

They can't possibly treat the people of Yan Country like this just because they're pretty.

"We are very grateful to Mr. Huang for his help to the people of Yan Country. We are truly thankful."

Putting aside the awkwardness of their initial meeting, Shu was quite happy.

At least I didn't experience the shattered illusion of meeting someone I met online, even though it might be that my own idealized image of them was broken.

I just made such a fool of myself, Mr. Huang must have thought I was a rather improper woman, right?

"It's not that shameful. I used those mushrooms to promote the development of animal husbandry, and they just happened to be effective for humans as well."

Although Arknights' storyline has always had bugs, many of its elements are based on reality.

Hormones used on animals in my previous life were also effective on humans.

After some comforting words, Shu finally convinced herself and at least stopped feeling restless.

"But I can't go back yet, I have to wait a few more days..."

"I'm a little embarrassed," Shu said.

In fact, before they came, they had already considered the possibility of not being able to return in a short time, and Shu and the other officials of Great Yan had already made arrangements.

The portal is opened every three days, and the Yan Emperor also believes that such a big matter should be discussed properly for several days.

Shu thought so too before he came, but he didn't expect Mr. Huang to agree so readily.

From the moment I appeared until now, it has taken less than two hours to get everything done.

"I'll stay here for the next few days. Although this castle doesn't have many rooms, it does have a few guest rooms."

"But sir, wouldn't your two wives mind...?"

Shu knew that the man in front of her was a married man. She originally intended to stay at his place, but if there was really no other way, she could sleep in the wilderness, since she had done it before.

Moreover, he was carrying some money with him.

"My wife and her husband are both very understanding. They've both written to you before, and nothing happened between us, did it?"

Huang Cao ignored the strange behavior of the millet when it was in a special state.

Master Huang is handsome, and he is indeed a good target for venting when needed.

Anyway, that's what Kal'tsit thinks. Although she plays big games, that old-fashioned mentality of hers is still there.

Shu breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, nothing happened!"

Nothing happened. After all, when Mr. Huang carried her downstairs, she had been pulling at him with her right hand the whole time...

Thinking of this, Shu felt her right hand become burning hot again. She hadn't been able to grasp it then, and it certainly wasn't because her hand was too thin, but because the other person was too magnificent...

Wait, now is not the time to experience that!

After a moment of silence, Shu cautiously pointed to the vast expanse of farmland outside.

Is this your territory?

The view outside the castle was undoubtedly beautiful, with each wheat field meticulously planned and perfectly square, a sight to behold for anyone with obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

Moreover, there are rows of equally neat factories in the distance, and the roads near the wheat fields are also meticulously planned.

And it's very spacious, as if it were specifically designed for mechanized farming.

I've never seen such neat roads on any of the moving plots in the Great Wilderness City. How much effort must have gone into making them?

176

Chapter 176 Kaitian Cat felt that she was about to be optimized.

The Great Wilderness City, which Shu himself had been cultivating, was a key development city for the Yan Country.

Even with all sorts of advanced machinery being put into operation, this level of infrastructure cannot be achieved, with such wide roads and living conditions where every family lives in a small villa.

Is this still Terra?

Am I transported to another time?

"What you see is only the most fertile area of my territory, and it is not perfect yet, after all, it has not reached the ideal state I envision."

"Isn't this ideal?"

Shu was somewhat surprised. Couldn't such living conditions be considered the most perfect?

When they used to write to each other, she always thought Mr. Huang was just bragging. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but that it was truly impossible for him to achieve that.

Now... looking at this place that is almost like a paradise on earth, Shu was deeply fascinated.

Although she works in the Great Wilderness City out of a commitment and inner conviction, she also hopes to see no one in the world go hungry anymore.

There is no idle land under heaven, yet farmers still starve to death.

Having enough to eat is not just a matter of land, but also a matter of people.

Shu turned his head, wanting to express his feelings, but found that Mr. Huang was writing furiously, holding a rather thick leaf in his hand, and immediately tossing it into the air after finishing writing.

Joke!

As a super good man, Huang Cao naturally had to tell his wife that there was suddenly another person in the house, mainly because he was afraid that Kal'tsit would use her ulterior motives to give them a good cry.

However, no matter how eloquently Kal'tsit spoke, Lamian and Warfarin would certainly not believe her.

However, these two people will definitely use this as an excuse to mess with themselves. Master Huang really doesn't want to use the younger body, and even wear all sorts of strange clothes.

Kal'tsit at most assisted from the sidelines; this woman was now practically her pet.

Anyway, Master Huang has no interest in "pets".

Kal'tsit: Really? Then is the juice I drink every day actually juice?

Kal'tsit was also wondering, when did this guy break through his old-fashioned barrier?

He clearly had lustful intentions, but he was stuck there, too afraid to take a step forward.

It was like this decades ago, and it's still like this now.

If he really didn't feel anything, he could have stopped himself. Why was he afraid of being killed instantly?

How could that be? In all those decades of service, do you really think Kal'tsit never collected raw materials to use on her own body?

This guy has complete control over the situation, but he just doesn't want children.

Shu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, Mr. Huang really is a very good husband.

As for having two wives, it is actually a very common thing in this land.

Yan Country currently practices monogamy, but that doesn't mean other countries do the same.

"Nighttime is when my territory is at its most beautiful, Shu. Have you ever experienced what electricity is like?"

"Are you talking about light bulbs? I have some too..."

"No, I mean every household has appliances that can use electricity, whether it's a light bulb or the simple water heater you just used."

After a simple dinner, Shu eagerly awaited the arrival of night.

Of course, there is no night in the area around Master Huang, after all, there is such a big Golden Tree overhead.

But what Shu saw was that the crisscrossing power lines delivered every bit of electricity precisely into the residents' houses.

Dinner and hot water are provided for all residents.

Everything was so peaceful and serene, and the crops continued to grow at night under the glow of the Golden Tree.

It's simply a rare and wonderful place.

"More than 60 years ago, when I first came here, this land was barren."

Huang Cao took out a photo of his territory when he first arrived here. The photo was filled with all kinds of Originium crystals, and there was not even a place to step.

"Did you do all this? You must really cherish your people."
