Chapter 929
The Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom
"No, I must return to my country to help Tonggao deal with Ram. We cannot allow our Yan Kingdom to be threatened like this."
"We are, after all, members of the Yan Kingdom. Even if we are not princes, we should still protect the safety of the Yan Kingdom."
Kao Dong is determined to return to Yan Kingdom, use his strength, and do whatever it takes to deal with Ram and protect Yan Kingdom.
"Your Highness, are you really going to do this? It will still be very dangerous to go back like this."
“Tonggao has been completely controlled by Lamu, and he is completely bewitched. He may not listen to you. If the two of them join forces against you, your situation will be dangerous.”
Yang Xia was surprised that Kao Dong would have such thoughts, so she quickly helped him analyze the pros and cons.
"Yes, Your Highness, you must think carefully before you act, and you must not be in any danger," Sun Zhengming quickly echoed from the side.
They didn't want Kao Dong to meet with any misfortune; perhaps Yan Kingdom still needed Kao Dong to save it, as he was of great use.
"I must go back. As the eldest prince of Yan Kingdom, I cannot stand by and watch my father's legacy be destroyed. No matter how dangerous this time is, I will do my best."
Kao Dong has made up his mind to return to Yan Kingdom and change the status quo.
Yang Xia admired his courage, and since he had made up his mind, Yang Xia did not intend to stop him any further.
"Your Highness, since that's the case, I won't stop you. This is a sound transmission ball. If anything happens, just contact me immediately; a gentle squeeze will do the trick."
Yang Xia placed a sound-transmitting ball into Kao Dong's hand.
Yang Xia and Sun Zhengming personally saw Kao Dong off, and they were naturally disappointed in Tong Gao for his lack of ambition.
However, since Yan Kingdom is in trouble now, they will naturally step in to protect it without hesitation. Even for the sake of the old king, they cannot stand idly by.
“Crown Prince Kao Dong is actually a very benevolent prince. If the old king had passed the throne to the crown prince, none of these problems would have occurred.”
Watching Kao Dong's departing figure, Sun Zhengming couldn't help but sigh, "The choice of successor is truly crucial."
Before his death, the old king chose Tonggao as the new king because he considered that Crown Prince Kaodong was too kind.
However, Tong Gao was too ruthless. Such a person would still destroy the Yan Kingdom. Sun Zhengming naturally felt very regretful.
"Yes, but things are beyond repair now. We can only do our best to save Yan Kingdom. Crown Prince Kao Dong is very decisive."
Yang Xia could understand Sun Zhengming's feelings at this moment. They had a different opinion of Crown Prince Kao Dong and knew that he was a very good talent.
It is believed that after Prince Kao Dong returns to Yan, he will do his best to save Yan.
Yang Xia also decided to provide some assistance, and with their joint efforts, they hoped that Yan Kingdom could return to its former state.
Ram's actions in Yan not only threw Yan into chaos, but also had a certain impact on the economy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Yan Kingdom has completely severed business ties with the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xingyun Kingdom's profits are not good either, and Zhuaqi Kingdom has also lost all economic ties with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This plunged the Great Zhou Dynasty's economy into crisis, turning it into a state of self-production and self-consumption, resulting in a large backlog of goods.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were severely affected. Goods were piling up, which damaged their economy and caused them to suffer heavy losses. Many people began to report this situation to Yang Xia.
"Your Majesty, this cannot continue. We have lost business dealings with neighboring countries, and all these goods are piling up."
"Domestic sales alone are simply not enough. There are still many unsold goods that will rot if they can't be sold."
The people kept telling Yang Xia about these situations, but he was at a loss and didn't know how to solve the problem.
Yang Xia frowned deeply; he knew, of course, that this problem was very serious.
For the Great Zhou Dynasty's economy to develop, it must maintain economic and trade relations with other countries, but the situation during this period was too special.
The Yan Kingdom completely severed its economic and trade ties with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and quite thoroughly at that, with no trade relations between the two sides remaining.
Aside from purchasing some goods unique to the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Xingyun Kingdom no longer trades with the Yan Kingdom in other areas, so its profits are not significant.
Under the control of Cahill and Liu Zhixiu, the Kingdom of Zhuaqi naturally had no trade relations with the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For a time, the Great Zhou Dynasty found itself in a state of utter chaos, with its economic and trade relations with the surrounding countries almost completely disrupted.
Despite the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty and its advanced weaponry, a lack of economic and trade activity could still lead to significant losses for them.
Seeing that these drawbacks had already emerged and that the situation was only going to worsen, Yang Xia knew that the problem had to be solved as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be filled with fear, and all aspects of the Great Zhou Dynasty would be severely affected.
In order to appease the public and thoroughly investigate the matter, Yang Xia started a live broadcast again.
[People of the Great Zhou Dynasty, our economy and trade are indeed facing some problems, but please believe me, we will definitely find a way to solve them.]
[Due to the recent backlog of various goods, please help clear out these accumulated items and list the types of goods in stock so I can take appropriate action.]
Yang Xia clearly told the people about these situations in the live broadcast room without any concealment.
After seeing this, the people were no longer so panicked.
With leaders like Yang Xia offering advice, the people know that these problems will be solved.
Many things had happened before, and Yang Xia had always handled them very well. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a great deal of trust in Yang Xia.
Despite facing a severe test this time, they will still follow Yang Xia's instructions and list out the types of goods that have been stockpiled.
In this way, Yang Xia obtained first-hand information and clearly knew what kind of goods the people had stockpiled. Then, by classifying and sorting them, the problem could be solved.
After careful investigation, Yang Xia finally figured out the types of the stockpiled goods, which mainly consisted of handicrafts and fruits and vegetables.
“The problem isn’t too big. These handicrafts can be stored for a long time, so there’s no rush to sell them.”
“I will also try to solve these problems. We can’t let the economy and trade of the Great Zhou Dynasty remain in such a predicament for a long time.”
Yang Xia calmly shared his thoughts with General Meng Yu. He believed that the current difficulties of the Great Zhou Dynasty were only temporary, and that he could eventually resolve these problems through his efforts.
The problem in Yan Kingdom must be solved. Yang Xia is quite confident in this regard, so he is willing to grit his teeth and get through this difficult situation.
Once the problems in Yan are resolved, the economy and trade will naturally recover to their previous levels.
Their economic and trade cooperation with the Jagi Kingdom was already negligible, so this issue could be disregarded. If possible, after defeating Cahill and Yoo Ji-soo, they could try to develop economic and trade relations with the Jagi Kingdom.
That country has decent conditions in many aspects, but it is too conservative and doesn't like to cooperate with neighboring countries.
These are all things for the future; Yang Xia needs to solve the immediate difficulties first.
"Your Majesty, we can put the handicrafts aside for now, but if those fruits and vegetables are not sold quickly, they will probably rot, which would be a considerable loss."
"Our Great Zhou Dynasty's economy has been severely threatened. If this continues, we may not be able to sustain it."
General Meng Yu quickly expressed his opinion, as they were all particularly concerned about this matter.
"Yes, we need to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible. Let me think about it some more."
Yang Xia planned to search the system for some useful items to see if they could solve his current difficulties.
Seeing Yang Xia's state, General Meng Yu knew that he needed some time to think, so he quickly withdrew, not wanting to disturb Yang Xia's train of thought.
Currently, the situation of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is not optimistic, and it depends entirely on Yang Xia to support it.
General Meng Yu also greatly admired Yang Xia and believed that he would always be able to come up with a solution.
In the past, no matter what problems he encountered, Yang Xia always managed to find a solution, and in some battles, he could even defeat his opponent without losing a single soldier.
With these precedents, they certainly had every reason to believe that Yang Xia possessed such abilities.
After General Meng Yu left, Yang Xia quickly entered the system store and browsed the related items. He searched for the section on fruit and vegetable preservation.
To Yang Xia's surprise, the system contained an enormous freezer.
He quickly checked the freezer's functions and time limits.
"Great! It can be preserved for at least half a month. This will buy us some time."
"As long as these fruits and vegetables can be circulated smoothly within this time, the problem will be solved."
Yang Xia felt a surge of excitement and prepared to redeem the freezer. The price was naturally quite high, costing him nearly ten thousand points.
But in order to preserve the fruits and vegetables, he couldn't worry about anything else. Yang Xia pressed the redemption button without hesitation, and the freezer was successfully obtained.
"We've finally solved the storage problem, so we can take a break now."
Yang Xia breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just then, Yang Xia received a secret letter from Crown Prince Kao Dong, which he quickly opened and read.
Kao Dong returned to Yan Kingdom alone to resolve internal issues. Yang Xia was naturally very concerned about the progress of the matter and hoped that the problems in Yan Kingdom could be resolved as soon as possible.
Upon opening the secret letter, Kao Dong recounted to Yang Xia some recent developments in Yan Kingdom.
"The people of Yan Kingdom and Xingyun Kingdom are now living together, and they are having a fierce argument over food. Do you have any good solutions?"
Kao Dong asked Yang Xia for a solution, feeling utterly helpless. The Yan Kingdom was truly in complete chaos.
Kao Dong's words no longer carry weight. Unless Tong Gao agrees, he cannot simply drive the people from Xingyun Kingdom away.
But he couldn't just stand by and watch this chaotic situation unfold, and this problem was certainly giving him a headache.
Perhaps we can only resolve these issues gradually, and then deal with the situation in Nebula Kingdom thoroughly when the time is right.
The situation Yan is currently facing is somewhat unique; the population is simply too large, and Kao Dong really can't think of a good solution.
That's when he thought of the resourceful Yang Xia, believing that he could come up with a solution, so he sent this secret letter to Yang Xia.
Yang Xia finally understood the situation in Yan Kingdom, and the image of the frozen fruits and vegetables of the Great Zhou Dynasty involuntarily came to mind.
"If we could sell our Great Zhou Dynasty's fruits and vegetables to the Yan Kingdom, this problem would naturally be solved."
"I never expected that heaven would help me so much. Now I don't have to worry about the sales of fruits and vegetables in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Yang Xia was immediately overjoyed; this was a brilliant idea that killed two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, it can immediately alleviate the chaotic situation in Yan Kingdom, and on the other hand, the fruits and vegetables of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be sold smoothly.
"Kao Dong, I've come up with a good idea. You should come to our Great Zhou Dynasty and get some fruits and vegetables right away."
“We have a huge quantity of fruits and vegetables here, which can solve your current predicament, but of course these fruits and vegetables cannot be given away for free.”
Yang Xia immediately called Kao Dong and told him about the solution.
"Great! I knew you'd come up with a solution. I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly. You're really amazing."
Kao Dong admired Yang Xia immensely, and he seemed to understand better why the old king had trusted Yang Xia so much when he was alive.
In their eyes, Yang Xia was practically a god. No matter what the difficulty, he could always come up with a solution so quickly.
"Of course we should pay for it. How can we take the fruits and vegetables of the Great Zhou Dynasty for free? But how are we going to sell them?"
Kao Dong quickly began to communicate further with Yang Xia, wanting to fully implement this plan.
He knew the problem would be solved soon; the large quantities of fruits and vegetables from the Great Zhou Dynasty were exactly what the Yan Kingdom and the Xingyun Kingdom urgently needed.
Yang Xia fell into deep thought. Because the volume of fruit and vegetable sales this time was so enormous, he had to come up with a comprehensive plan to prevent things from falling into chaos.
Ultimately, these fruits and vegetables belong to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty; they are their hard-earned money, and Yang Xia must ensure their income.
After thinking for a moment, a complete and systematic plan came to Yang Xia's mind, and he quickly told Kao Dong about his idea.
"How about this, you can issue shopping vouchers to those who need fruits and vegetables, and then I will take a certain percentage from each voucher."
Yang Xia quickly explained his plan: once the money was in hand, it would be distributed to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty in fixed quantities, thus keeping things busy but not chaotic.
The entire process was essentially equivalent to helping sell the fruits and vegetables of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the effect was immediate; their problem of unsold fruits and vegetables was solved instantly. (End of Chapter)
