Chapter 30 Insignificant! (Ch 30)

【Sheep are good things.】
[Ji Changwei naturally agreed with these words.]
【only.】
[That should be for the rich and powerful. ]
[Because whether it is for food or sacrifice, sheep are indispensable. ]
[Even ordinary businessmen would raise three or two sheep at home. ]
【”but.”】
【“For ordinary people.”】
[“Sheep are not so good!”]
[Ji Changwei thought so in her heart.]
[Raising sheep requires a place with good soil and water environment, so that the sheep can grow big and fat. ]
[But if there is such a place, most people will turn it into farmland. How can they be willing to use it to raise sheep that can only be eaten for meat! ]
【And use sheep for sacrifice? 】
[That has nothing to do with them! ]
[It is a luxury to use paper money, incense and candles to worship ancestors! ]
[Anyone who uses the good land to raise sheep for the purpose of offering sacrifices to ancestors or eating mutton will definitely be scolded! ]
[“As for sheep, can they help people not fear the cold winter?”]
[“I’ve never heard of that.”]
【“Could it be?”】
[“What weird ideas does he have now?”]
【Ji Changwei looked at Chen Huaixin.】
[As the empress of the former dynasty, she had naturally seen the earth-shaking objects and the hot air balloons. The reason why the former dynasty was destroyed and the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom did not suffer too much loss was also due to these two things. ]
[She also knew that these two things were made by Chen Huaixin, so it made sense that he had other strange ideas about sheep.]
【And Chen Huaixin seemed to see through what Ji Changwei was thinking at this moment.】
[He showed a hint of smile on his face, and said in a very calm voice: “I do have some ideas. After all, if we fill the grassland with sheep just for the sake of eating mutton, it is indeed too extravagant. It costs a lot to transport sheep from the grassland to various places in Yu Country.”]
[“But if we do this for wool products, and to prevent the people from freezing to death in the cold winter, then it is totally worth it! Moreover, it is even possible to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the threat from the grassland!”]
【Chen Huaixin has already made a decision in his mind.】
[Ji Changwei looked at Chen Huaixin, who exuded confidence. For some reason, she felt her heart beating very fast, as if she had returned to her wedding night when she served Chen Huaixin.]
“Marry him.”
【”like……”】
[“It’s really good!”]
In the Golden Palace.
The civil servant who had wanted to persuade Ji Qingluo not to start another foreign war now looked as black as charcoal.
They had hoped that the barbarians in that border area could make Chen Huaixin suffer some losses, so that they could persuade His Majesty, who was already warlike, to give up the idea of ​​capturing the barbarians and bringing them back to the country for construction.
“But if.”
“Sheep are not only good for meat.”
“It can also prevent the people from freezing to death!”
“Then its value will be even greater!”
“Your Majesty will definitely launch another expedition against the grasslands!”
“And in this way.”
“Won’t that make those reckless generals’ voices even louder?”
These civil officials looked at the military generals unwillingly, and their resentment towards Chen Huaixin grew even stronger.
The eyes of the generals, including the Second Princess Ji Changling, were already shining after hearing what Chen Huaixin said about the benefits of sheep!
The governor of Pinglu even jumped out and said, “Your Majesty, I want to fight! I will definitely wipe out the grassland tribes so that the people of Dacheng will no longer be afraid of the cold winter!”
“After you wipe out the grassland tribes, who will take care of the sheep for me? Your Majesty, you have to let me do it. I think I am thoughtful and will definitely make the grassland full of sheep!”
“Stand back! Stand back! Let me do it! I fought against the barbarians on the grasslands many times in the past, and I am much more familiar with that place than you!”
“After several battles, you have failed to exterminate the grassland barbarians. Doesn’t that prove that you are useless? Let me do it!”
“…”
The generals started quarreling over the grassland conquest.
They knew their Majesty’s character very well. Whenever people in border areas were harassed, she would personally lead her troops into the grassland. Now that they knew the true value of the sheep, how could they just watch and not fight for it?
As long as they launch a war, they will gain military merits. Who would be willing to give up such a great opportunity!
but.
As they were arguing.
Prime Minister Wang Qianhe stepped forward and yelled at them to be quiet before saying to Ji Qingluo, “Your Majesty, I think we should wait and see. If the reality is far from what Chen Huaixin thought, it will be a waste of our national strength.”
He naturally knew that Chen Huaixin would not do something without a purpose, but he could not just listen to the generals’ arguments and do nothing, so he hoped that Ji Qingluo could take a more prudent approach.
fine.
Ji Qingluo was not that anxious.
It took so long to deduce the gold list before, and now there is finally some hope, so why should she be in a hurry for such a short time!
“Then let’s continue watching!”
【After making a decision. 】
【Chen Huaixin was not in a hurry to send generals to conquer the grassland tribes.】
[They are now leading their troops to Jiaozhi, preparing to capture the barbarians there and contribute to the prosperity of Yu State.]
【If you fight two battles at the same time. 】
[Even with his plan, the national treasury will find it difficult to sustain it! ]
【”and.”】
[“We still need to make preparations in advance.”]
[“Instead of just taking the wool back!”]
【Chen Huaixin thought in his heart.】
[He went to Dayu Research Institute again and made new arrangements for Ji Changxi.]
[This arrangement was not that difficult. Ji Changxi, who had hit a bottleneck in his research, used it to relax. It only took him ten days to make all those things.]
【November, the second year of Jingping.】
[Chen Huaixin is in Dayu Research Institute, looking at Ji Changxi’s achievements with satisfaction.]
[According to his instructions, Ji Changxi improved the existing textile machine, making it at least five times more efficient than the previous one! ]
【“Same time.”】
“To weave faster.”
[“This is the only way to match the wool of the future, so that the people will no longer be afraid of the cold winter!”]
【Chen Huaixin’s face was filled with joy.】
[Ji Changxi was not very excited. Compared with things like hot air balloons and cement, improving the textile machine was just a way to relax in her free time. Moreover, it was just a trivial change to the world.]
[This is very different from what she likes, which is to completely overturn things that are done according to the rules! ]
【But Chen Huaixin shook his head and refuted her idea.】
【”negligible?”】
[“No, no, no!”]
【“Compared to this more efficient textile machine.”】
[“Hot air balloons are insignificant things!”]
