Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1573 - 1572: Small Wool, Big Use_1

Daqi’s firm stance temporarily caused the nomadic tribes of the grassland to lie low, but Yang Wenxiao knew that these people were naturally wild at heart, and their submissiveness was only temporary; they would not truly and completely submit to Daqi. The moment Daqi showed even a slight sign of weakness, they would surely grab their broadswords, mount their warhorses, and surge forth once again.

Over the years, Yang Wenxiao had also carefully considered the reasons for this. On one hand, the grassland nomads were innately belligerent, and on the other hand, it had to do with their mode of production and way of life.

They herded cattle and sheep, living a nomadic life following water and grass and did not grow their food, relying entirely on the whims of nature, leaving them poorly equipped to resist natural disasters.

Should any disaster strike, if they found themselves short of food and clothing, they would come and rob the commoners of the Central Plains.

So it could be said that the border incursions by the grassland nomads were more often than not a result of their own hardships; they lacked food and clothing and were forced to plunder.

Now, if the nomads could be enriched through wool, then perhaps this situation could be improved.

Wool could be woven, and by buying wool from the grassland nomads, Daqi could provide them with a stable source of income. As long as there was a steady income, who would want to go to war and shed blood?

Even if warmongers intentionally stirred up conflict, Daqi could simply cut off the wool trade.

Daqi was not in dire need of the wool; it had many other trades to engage in. But the nomads were different. Once they had tasted the sweetness of steady business and had it cut off after getting used to it, there would be no need for Daqi to send troops, as the nomads would start falling into disarray from within. fгeewebnovёl.com

So it should be noted that though wool appears light and inconspicuous, if utilized properly, it could stabilize the major hidden danger posed by the grassland tribes.

Yang Wenxiao gave this matter great importance, a very great importance indeed.

He did not have many years left to live, and his offspring were all too soft and feeble, lacking the decisive and ruthless edge required of emperors. If he could eliminate this hidden danger while he was alive, then he would not have too many worries when he died.

It had to be said that the descendants of Liuli were truly formidable, the impact of their actions was always immense.

Last time, they brought Divine Liquid and corn, and this time, they brought wool textile. Regardless of which, each was of great significance to Daqi.

Truth be told, Yang Wenxiao really wanted to meet this descendant of Liuli, not just to inquire about Liuli matters but also to ask about the future of Daqi. He hoped this descendant would take more care of Daqi after his death.

But this descendant was too mysterious. He had not even seen a glimpse of her shadow, let alone met her.

He sighed silently in his heart and turned his gaze to Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang who were beside him.

Did the descendant of Liuli appear at this time just to deliver wool?

Now, rumors in the Capital City about Qiao Xiaomai possessing a treasure basin were spreading faster and faster. Gossip was like a flood - the more one tried to block it, the more ferocious it became. He could not outright forbid discussion of the matter; he could only publish "Daqi Monthly" to guide public opinion.

"Daqi Monthly" had already been published, and the front page headline was about Qiao Xiaomai’s treasure basin. The title was clear: Is she beautiful, brilliant, and guilty?

The content was also clear, summarized as: Just because Qiao Xiaomai was beautiful and good at making money, was she to suffer from these baseless rumors?

Her hard work and efforts could not be erased by malicious rumors.

To increase credibility, he detailed the creation process of items like cold jelly noodles, the tricycle, and the sled, especially the sled. He was at the manor when the sled appeared and had witnessed firsthand how Tong Sanlang had cobbled it together.
