Chapter 1139: A Different Chengqie

"It's impossible, Chengqie, how did you think of this point? To be honest, in all of Huaxia, no one has ever considered this issue. We live in the city like this, and it can be said there isn't the slightest problem; our city, at the very least, doesn't need to fear being conquered."

"Therefore, we really hadn't thought of this issue you mentioned, but now that you put it this way, our Huaxia indeed has problems in this regard."

Chengqie felt a bit smug at this moment: "Right? How did I see it? That's because my father is the Tribal Chief of the Suiren clan. I grew up in the Suiren clan and have also been to and seen various tribes, thinking about how to rule and manage the Suiren clan well in the future, which is why I would consider these issues."

"Now that I compare it like this, haven't I discovered the differences between Huaxia and our Suiren clan?"

"So, Uncle Sanxin, why do you say Huaxia has to do it this way? Also, if it's just like this, you could completely go to the Suiren clan to ask for people. As long as you can bring out the grain, then there will definitely be people willing to follow you here."

"Anyway, surviving is the same everywhere; it's the same in Huaxia, and it's the same in the Suiren clan. Surviving on your fiefs would be even easier. After all, you provide the tools and the grain, and they just have to farm the land here. It's very simple, much simpler and less dangerous than searching for food in the wilderness."

"Your fiefs would then have people to cultivate them. But looking at Huaxia as a whole, wanting everyone to live in Huaxia, to reclaim wasteland and survive in those wilderness areas where no one has been, far away from cities like this, is probably not easy. After all, they are already familiar with the Suiren clan's territory; they know for themselves where there is food and what kind of wild Grass is edible."

"They also understand what the weather is like. Once they come to Huaxia, doesn't everything have to start over? This is not conducive to the survival of our tribesmen; perhaps in the first year, the first Winter, many people would die."

"If you want our Suiren tribesmen to come to Huaxia, you have to do it like this time: provide good land, enough grain, and tools, and then have someone lead the reclamation. If that's the case, not only my father, but even our tribesmen won't have any objections, because it really is better than living in the Suiren clan."

Listening to Chengqie talk eloquently, Sanxin, who had picked up his teacup to drink, got scalded and suddenly snapped back to reality. He hadn't expected to be led by the nose by this kid. Speaking of which, is this kid really as unbearable as the rumors say? Arrogant, conceited, and ignorant of the situation?

Now that he was in contact with him, it seemed a bit different. This kid was clearly sharp-tongued, eloquent, and his vision was very unique and keen. If it came to perspective and knowledge, he, as the son of a Tribal Chief, indeed had a great advantage; he was clearly stronger than most Huaxia people and could pinpoint the crux of the problem at once.

Sanxin didn't know why this was; perhaps Baifeng had said something? But he couldn't remember clearly. Intent on retiring, he had gradually started to care less about Government Affairs Department matters, and now that he was in a position without much power or major tasks, the need to think about these aspects of participating in politics and discussing affairs had become much less.

Perhaps Yu, who replaced him, knew where the problem lay. Yu was smart enough—Sanxin would never deny that—and because Yu was raised by Baifeng, Baifeng trusted Yu enough. Perhaps it was only for major matters concerning the future of Huaxia that he would discuss them with Yu. Perhaps he himself could have in the past, but ever since he expressed his desire to retire and, as he was now, started to have a greater pursuit of his own wealth and private things, Sanxin slowly dared not communicate with Baifeng.

Regarding this current matter, Sanxin could only rely on guessing to think about Baifeng's specific thoughts, and dared not ask. The old people of their generation were all slowly becoming like this; perhaps they felt their own greed, but also felt it was what they deserved, and didn't know if Baifeng would be angry.

Having snapped back to reality, Sanxin immediately leaned his body back completely and crossed his legs, preparing to regain the initiative in the conversation through sheer presence.

"Chengqie, these major national affairs can only be decided by the King. Of course, although you are only a student now, your status is what it is. If you have any questions about this, you can go find the King to explain it clearly and clarify this issue for him. The King would never be angry because of such a matter."

"However, I think the King will not make mistakes. Look, he is the one who was able to build such a country and create Huaxia City. A problem that you can see and think of at a glance, the King must have thought of it too. It's just that he probably has other ideas or other preparations, so it remains like this for now. The King cannot be wrong, or do you think you are smarter than the King?"

"No, no, no, that is definitely impossible. I know my own abilities; they are certainly not as good as the King's. It's just that I was a bit confused. Now that you've said it like this, I won't think about it anymore. Since the King is doing it this way, there must be no problem."

Sanxin nodded with great satisfaction and then pulled Huaxia back on track: "Chengqie, what do you think of this document? Do you want to participate in it together? Your family also has a fief, and it is currently in a state of being completely unattended. Other fiefs that already have people have started reclamation, but they aren't ours."

"I'm telling you, the output of a fief is the most optimistic. Even if you don't become an official or do any work in the future, just by holding onto your family's Nobility and your family's fief, you could live comfortably in Huaxia for a lifetime."

"You have wealth, you have status. For a Huaxia person to obtain these, it takes both effort and luck; neither can be missing. A person like me, I just had pure good luck and followed the King from the beginning; otherwise, could I have such a good life now?"

Chengqie also straightened up and began to speak very seriously: "How would the cooperation work? You tell me, and I'll see if we can cooperate."

"It's simple. We Nobles have grain, and you Suiren have people. But if we go to the Suiren clan, we don't understand anything and don't know anything. Even if we hold the grain, we might not be able to get the people back, because the document states that this is an individual act, not a national act. Therefore, your father doesn't need to get involved; perhaps, to a certain extent, he cannot get involved. If your father were to participate, the nature of it would change, and it would become your father forcibly requiring your tribesmen to come to Huaxia. That wouldn't be appropriate. If something went wrong, not only would we have responsibility, but it would also implicate your father, and even Huaxia would have to bear the responsibility."
