Chapter 1073: Chapter 896, Prepare for Battle

Commander Office, Wei Hong was aware that Xiao Yeyang would not easily hand over the high-yield crops, but he was still infuriated after reading the refusal letter.

"This Xiao Yeyang, has no regard for others at all! My lord, we can’t just let this go."

Wei Hong glanced at the official who spoke, "Then what do you think we should do?"

The official was at a loss for words—after all, Xiao Yeyang was backed by the emperor; they really couldn’t force the issue.

Wei Hong didn’t expect the officials to come up with any good ideas either, so he turned to Master Xu, "Master Xu, what’s your take?"

Master Xu was silent for a moment before replying, "My lord, the reasons for Mr. Xiao’s refusal are substantial. Maybe we should just wait."

Wei Hong frowned. "How long must we wait? Surely we can’t wait until the soldiers of the Ganzhou Guard have all planted high-yield crops before the rest can follow suit?"

Master Xu bowed his head and said nothing.

The high-yield crops were brought by Xiao Yeyang; naturally, the distribution was up to him.

Wei Hong dismissed everyone in irritation. After Master Xu had left the Commander Office, he headed straight to the largest teahouse in Liangdu.

"I thought you wouldn’t come today because you had something else going on."

Wang Qi stood up with a smile and welcomed Master Xu to take a seat.

Master Xu laughed, "How could I not come when you’ve traveled to Liangdu and invited me?"

Once they had sat down and sipped some tea, they began to talk about their respective situations. As the conversation proceeded, they touched on the topic of the high-yield crops of the Ganzhou Guard.

Wang Qi said, "The corn and potatoes that Xiao Yeyang brought are indeed high-yielding. I’ve mentioned before, my clan was fortunate to have a brief encounter with Madam Xiao, who gifted us some seeds. This year, I no longer have to worry about my people going hungry."

Hearing this, Master Xu looked surprised, "If that’s what you’re saying, it seems these high-yield crops really are suitable for promotion in Xiliang."

Wang Qi nodded, "As long as corn and potatoes can be widely cultivated in Xiliang, the people can end their hunger."

Master Xu was overjoyed and then sighed, "Previously, when Mr. Wei wrote to Mr. Xiao asking for the high-yield crops, I didn’t offer any advice. It seems when I return, I will need to find a way to promote the spread of these crops."

Wang Qi said, "It’s not that Xiao Yeyang is unwilling to promote high-yield crops; I think he must want to use them to achieve certain goals. Not long ago, the Lanwu Guard and the Jinwei Guard both received a batch of high-yield crops. From what I know, they must have struck some deal with Xiao Yeyang."

Master Xu furrowed his brow, "Are you implying I should not interfere?"

Wang Qi nodded, "Based on my investigations and observations, everything Xiao Yeyang has done in Xiliang has been beneficial for the people here. This may not align with the Wei Family’s interests. If you help them acquire the high-yield crops, it’s likely that they will only be planted on military farms, and the common people won’t be a concern for them."

Master Xu fell silent, knowing Wei Hong better than Wang Qi did.

Wei Hong had never ceased his intent to drive away Xiao Yeyang; he simply hadn’t found the opportunity yet.

Master Xu looked at Wang Qi, "You’re always defending Xiao Yeyang, are you considering that route?"

Wang Qi smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Master Xu sighed, "Actually, that might be for the best. Due to geographical reasons, the people of Xiliang have been living a hard life. In recent years, the Xiliao people have become too much to bear. If Xiao Yeyang can truly change the situation, even I would be willing to serve."

Wang Qi looked at the pedestrians coming and going, "Let’s just wait and see."

Time slipped away bit by bit. By October, snow had already begun to fall in Ganzhou. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
