Optimizing grain seeds requires specialized personnel; it's not something the average person can do.
Even Ma Jun, a great inventor, was not particularly skilled in this area. Although he had studied it, the results were not very good, indicating that his research in this area was not in-depth.
It seems this matter can only be postponed until suitable personnel are found later. In any case, Great Liang has enough food for the time being, so there's no need to expend so much energy on this.
By the time the two had finished their discussion, it was already the morning of the next day.
At the morning court session, when Lin Yi took out the list of participants, everyone immediately smiled knowingly.
As expected of His Majesty, everything is provided.
If the other side still wants to use a honey trap, they've probably already fallen for His Majesty's charm trap, as they've even brought out the Black Gold Ore.
Li Si smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this Black Gold Ore will have a significant positive impact on Great Liang, but the exact extent of that impact is still unknown. However, if the cotton is truly as Your Majesty describes, then it will be of extraordinary significance."
These days, winter is still very difficult for ordinary people. Without enough warm clothing, it's even difficult to go out.
Having cotton would allow people to keep warm in winter, enabling them to go out, socialize, and make purchases, thus indirectly boosting economic development—a matter of great significance.
"I'm actually quite interested in these magical mushrooms. They say that drinking them allows you to see fairy goddesses and even achieve immortality..." Guo Jia said excitedly, staring at the poisonous mushroom.
Lin Yi's lips twitched. "You'll know what a fairy sister is after you eat it and start blowing bubbles."
However, he didn't mention it, since they still didn't know what it was. If it was something truly valuable like Ganoderma lucidum, then taking it wouldn't be a problem.
He noticed Sun Shangxiang standing to the side and said in a deep voice, " Xuan Niao, follow them to find the location of the Xinma Empire. Also, send someone into the Ocean Ring to investigate and confirm these coordinates."
The Great Liang will inevitably enter an era of maritime dominance in the future, so these coordinates will be of great importance, as they represent the direction of future progress.
Sun Shangxiang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will send people to keep an eye on things."
It really is a task assigned by the Net. Now that Wang Yue is not here, it is naturally up to her to handle it.
"Hmm, any news from the Great West Empire lately?"
" Huo Qubing is launching a fierce attack on the homeland of the Great West Empire. In addition, Zhou Yu and his men have also entered the territory. Currently, Adolf is struggling to hold off Huo Qubing, while Zhou Yu and his men are facing off against Abaddon's direct forces."
"After the retired emperor finished clearing out the remnants within the territory of the Frostwest Empire, he also began to muster his troops and march towards the border of the Great West Empire," Sun Shangxiang of the Xuan Niao explained.
Lin Yi nodded slightly. It seemed that the Great Liang had essentially surrounded the Great West Empire, and their defeat was only a matter of time. Unless the Moses Empire launched a full-scale attack, they had no chance of survival.
He put aside his concern for the matter and turned to look at Xun Yu and the others.
"My dear ministers, has anything been amiss lately?"
"Your Majesty, the rice harvest is about to begin, and this year is likely to be a bumper year," Xun Yu explained.
Rice harvest bumper?
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was slightly taken aback, then became somewhat pleased. Compared to sweet potatoes and potatoes, rice was a more reliable option.
After this year's bumper rice harvest, life has improved for people in the south, which is a good thing.
On the other side.
Xinier and his party did not return, but waited outside the palace for Princess Dada.
The moment he saw Princess Dada walk out of the palace gate, Xinier couldn't help but smile. Princess Dada had finally succeeded; she had successfully won over the strongest man in Great Liang.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness, you finally did it! This time, Her Majesty the Empress will definitely look at you with new respect!"
Great Liang is a superpower, and Princess Dada has now gained the favor of its emperor. This is undoubtedly the best news, and it also means that the Xinma Empire has gained a powerful ally.
In this case, Princess Dada might actually be qualified to inherit the Xinma Empire.
By then, I'll be the top contributor, and my benefits will skyrocket; I'll be on the verge of taking off.
Princess Dada glanced at him and said with a wry smile, " Great Liang is too powerful. We don't know if allying with them would be good or bad for us." To be honest, he could sense Great Liang's burgeoning ambition, and the future might not be so easy to manage.
If a Great Liang All Under Heaven is not achieved, the ultimate goal will likely be to conquer the Xinma Empire.
Xinier was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "That's all in the future. Even if we don't ally with them, won't they still attack us then? Rather than getting attacked in the end, we might as well take the benefits first."
Forehead.
Upon hearing this, Princess Dada couldn't help but laugh.
That statement actually makes some sense. Although there are dangers, the benefits we've gained are substantial. At least it has provided a buffer for the food supply of the Xinma Empire and strengthened its weaponry—these are all advantages.
She nodded and smiled, "In that case, you should go back and prepare. We need to set off quickly and return to the Xinma Empire to gather these supplies. Also, tell Mother about the appearance of the Moses Empire's people in Great Liang, so we won't be caught off guard in the future."
"Princess, aren't you going to stay here and strengthen your relationship with the Emperor of Great Liang?" Xinier frowned slightly. He'd finally managed to secure a spot; how could he easily give it up?
Princess Dada shook her head, a glint of wisdom flashing in her eyes, and sighed, "I am not an ordinary woman, and Lin Yi is not an ordinary man, so our relationship is destined not to be like that of ordinary men and women."
I need to be his support, and he needs to be my support; this is the strongest bond between us.
If I were to become a caged bird, I would simply be one of countless women in his harem, and that would be utterly meaningless.
She actually thought a lot last night. After witnessing the power and vast resources of Great Liang, she knew that this man's power had already exceeded the scope of influence that the Xinma Empire could exert, so he was definitely not someone she could control.
If you don't want to become a member of the harem, you have to work hard.
Xinier's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood his princess's thoughts. She was determined to win the title of Queen of Xinma. Only with this title could she be worthy of the strongest man in Great Liang.
After a moment's thought, he immediately made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my utmost to help you secure the position of heir to the Xinma. With the Emperor of Great Liang also around, there shouldn't be any problem."
