Chapter 957
Habitat
Yang Xia arrived in Phil Country with great confidence.
As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, someone quickly led him inside, without even needing to inform Kanapan.
It was precisely because Kanapan had stated beforehand that as long as Yang Xia came to their country of Phil, he should simply bring him to his palace, thus omitting all other formalities.
This also shows that Kanapan worships Yang Xia so much that he could never treat Yang Xia as an ordinary person, but rather as a god.
"Respected Yang Xia, it is an honor to have you come to our country of Phil."
"No wonder we heard magpies chirping so early in the morning. It turns out we have a distinguished guest. Hurry up and get ready, bring out all the best wine and food."
When Kanapan saw Yang Xia again, he was extremely enthusiastic towards him, his eyes filled with admiration.
Yang Xia's previous actions had deeply captivated Kanapan. Knowing how ruthless Yang Xia was, Kanapan's reaction was understandable.
The two chatted warmly and intimately. Kanapan inquired about Yang Xia's well-being, asking if there was anything else the Great Zhou Kingdom could do to help, promising to do his best to assist.
In Kanapan's eyes, helping Yang Xia was a divine mandate, and he was willing to do anything for him. As a result, his relationship with Yang Xia naturally became extremely close.
Yang Xia knew that their conversation would go smoothly.
Kanapan and Yang Xia chatted enthusiastically, and the two hit it off very well.
As they chatted, Kanapan started talking about agriculture.
"Just now, I went to the fields to supervise the farmers planting crops. I had a feeling that distinguished guests were coming today, so I came back."
"I didn't expect my sixth sense to be so strong. It really is a distinguished guest. It's a rare treat for you to come to our country of Phil, we must have a good drink together."
When Kanapan met Yang Xia, he was genuinely happy and told him everything, finding everything very interesting.
"King of Kanapan, did I hear that right? You actually went to the fields to personally supervise the people planting crops? What's going on?"
Yang Xia found it particularly strange after hearing Kanapan's claims. He had never imagined that a dignified ruler would do such a thing, or even that such a situation would occur.
"Well, it's a long story. This is something that really frustrates me, and I don't know who to talk to about it. Anyway, talking to them won't solve anything."
"But you're different. Maybe if I talk to you about it, some of the problems will be solved."
Kanapan suddenly sighed, but still had complete trust in Yang Xia.
Yang Xia was still somewhat unaccustomed to being so highly praised by Kanapan. However, no matter what he said, Kanapan treated him like a god, and he probably wouldn't change that anytime soon.
"What exactly happened? Tell me, maybe I can really help."
Yang Xia no longer emphasized the other party's attitude; as long as they could cooperate with the Great Zhou Kingdom, that was fine. Anyway, there were still very important things to do, and Kanapan might become a valuable assistant.
Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your own hands; sometimes that's the truth. Yang Xia certainly wouldn't help Kanapan for nothing; he had his own motives.
But if Kanapan cooperates with him, he will naturally not suffer any losses.
Yang Xia will also help the Kingdom of Phil grow alongside the Kingdom of Great Zhou, making them a powerful nation in the other world, so that the Kingdom of Moonlight will not dare to bully them easily.
Seeing Kanapan's worried expression, Yang Xia naturally wanted to find out what was wrong with him.
By working together to solve the problem, they can make Kanapan more loyal to their side and oppose the domineering system of the Moon Kingdom.
"Alas, oil prices have risen again. Grain is also a major source of foreign exchange income for Phil Kingdom, so of course I must personally supervise the people's planting of crops to ensure that this year is a bumper harvest."
"If we don't have a good harvest, we won't even be able to afford oil."
Kanapan sighed again, seemingly quite troubled by the matter.
"I see. It seems we really need to ensure a good harvest."
Yang Xia echoed his sentiments. He knew that Kanapan wanted to tell him about his troubles. At this moment, Yang Xia should be a very good listener and let the other person pour out all his worries.
Only in this way can their relationship grow closer. Yang Xia is particularly adept at these things and knows how to maintain a good relationship with Kanapan.
That way, future cooperation will be smoother, which is also Yang Xia's wisdom.
"King of Kanapan, Phil's technological strength is impressive, but can't it bring substantial revenue to your country?"
After a moment, Yang Xia couldn't help but voice his question. Logically, given Phil's advanced technology, they shouldn't be in such a predicament.
"It makes me angry just thinking about these things. The Moonlight Kingdom defends our Phil very tightly."
"Phil Country only uses its strong economy as an excuse. No matter how good its technological strength is, it can't produce any famous technological products. Moonlight Country wouldn't allow that."
Kanapan grew increasingly angry as he spoke. The Moonlight Kingdom was indeed too domineering, extending its reach far too far and restricting the development of other countries.
Not only are there regulations for exchanging moonbows, but other countries are also not allowed to develop their own technological products; these are all strictly limited.
Yang Xia nodded, finally understanding some of the problems that existed in Phil Country.
It seems that Kanapan also harbors deep resentment towards the Moon Kingdom. This makes things much easier; there's no doubt that Kanapan will stand by my side without hesitation.
"Yes, the Moonlight Kingdom is indeed too domineering. But I have my own ways of dealing with these matters. As long as you continue to cooperate with the Great Zhou Kingdom, I will gradually change all of this."
Yang Xia looked at Kanapan with unwavering determination. The moment to change their destinies was about to arrive. He would make the Moonlight Kingdom's tyranny a thing of the past, allowing other nations to move forward normally.
The ultimate goal is to develop the Great Zhou Kingdom into the most powerful country in the other world so that I can complete my mission.
"Yang Xia, do you really have a plan? Tell me quickly, what brilliant idea have you come up with to solve these problems!" Kanapan perked up immediately when he heard Yang Xia say this.
However, he was well aware of Yang Xia's abilities. Since Yang Xia spoke like this, he must have already made a good plan. After thinking about this, Kanapan's spirits lifted, and he felt extremely lucky to have met Yang Xia.
Kanapan was confident in his judgment, believing he could probably accomplish a lot in the future.
He had long felt that many good things would come his way if he followed Yang Xia, and even regarded Yang Xia as a god. This trust was undoubtedly from the bottom of his heart.
"I can sell Yan Kingdom's oil to your Phil Kingdom. You can settle the transaction directly in Phil Kingdom's currency. There's no need to exchange it for Moonlight Coins."
Yang Xia immediately offered his solution: their Yan Kingdom possesses extremely rich oil resources, which they could certainly supply to the Phil Kingdom.
Moreover, this opportunity allows the Kingdom of Phil to no longer need to exchange Moonlight Coins, enabling the two countries to conduct business normally without exchanging Moonlight Coins, thus freeing them from the unfair regulations imposed by the Kingdom of Moonlight.
"That's a great idea. It would save us a lot of money. But Tanawu of the Moonlight Kingdom will definitely try to interfere. He might even retaliate against us."
Kanapan frowned. He had to consider the strength of the Moonlight Kingdom, after all, it was the most powerful country in the other world. If he went head-to-head with them, he would probably suffer a real loss.
Normally, these countries do not dare to easily resist Moonlight Kingdom. Over time, this has led Moonlight Kingdom to develop this domineering ideology, completely disregarding other countries and demanding that everything be done according to Moonlight Kingdom's rules.
"Are you willing to be trampled underfoot by Tanawu forever? You know his actions are extremely unfair. Our countries should develop together fairly."
“Every country is an independent entity. It can cooperate with other countries willingly, but it cannot allow itself to be controlled by any one country.”
Yang Xia sincerely explained these rules between nations to Kanapan, making him understand that he must become strong and safeguard his country's interests.
“That’s right. Each of our countries is an independent entity. Why should we be at the mercy of the Moonlight Kingdom? We’ve long disliked the Moonlight Kingdom, but we just don’t dare to stand up and take the lead.”
Kanapan nodded in deep agreement. He felt that Yang Xia was the embodiment of justice. No wonder the gods had guided him to cooperate with Yan Kingdom. Perhaps this was the will of Heaven.
As a result, Kanapan admired and trusted Yang Xia even more.
"That's settled then. Our Yan Kingdom can sell oil to the Phil Kingdom at a low price. You won't need to exchange for Moonlight Dollars, which will save you a lot of money."
"After calculating all the costs, we can indeed save a lot of money. We can invest these savings in technological development and strive to create some well-known high-tech brands."
Yang Xia continued to analyze the benefits of doing so for Kanapan, building his confidence that only by creating high-tech, well-known products could the country become strong and break free from the control of the Moonlight Kingdom.
"That's great, Yang Xia. I have more motivation to strive for something with you. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are like a god."
Kanapan was overjoyed and gave Yang Xia a thumbs up, expressing his willingness to follow in Yang Xia's footsteps and continue to cooperate.
"Tomorrow I will have a large shipment of oil sent to Phil. You don't need to worry about that. Just focus on developing your own strength."
Seeing that the matter was proceeding extremely smoothly and everything was as he had expected, Yang Xia returned home satisfied.
True to his word, Yang Xia delivered ten tons of oil to Phil the next day, and Kanapan paid Yang Xia according to Phil's oil price.
He politely declined Yang Xia's offer, unwilling to accept a lower price from Yang Xia, which already made Kanapan very grateful. In this way, the oil he obtained from Yang Xia was three times cheaper than the market price.
One should not be greedy. Kanapan admired Yang Xia so much that he was unwilling to let Yang Xia suffer a loss, and insisted on paying the price of oil in Phil Country.
Yang Xia didn't press the matter further, since both parties were cooperating voluntarily and were having a very pleasant experience.
This solved many problems for both Yan Kingdom and Phil Kingdom. They no longer had to worry about exchanging Moonlight Coins, nor did they have to be taken advantage of by Tanawu.
This happy ending pleased Yang Xia greatly, and he believed that other countries would follow suit after seeing this approach.
After all, such cooperation would benefit every country and would also successfully resist the hegemonic system of the Moonlight Kingdom.
No secrets stay hidden forever, especially since Yang Xia and Kanapan's deal was made with great fanfare, intended to attract the attention of other countries and entice them to join in.
They could then follow the example of Phil Kingdom and cooperate with Yan Kingdom.
Yang Xia believes that as long as he sincerely cooperates with other countries and lets them taste real benefits, many people will still gravitate towards him.
By then, no matter what insidious methods the Moonlight Kingdom uses, they won't be of any use.
This matter was quickly learned by the Shadow Organization, and its leader, Chun, immediately reported it to Tanawu.
"Your Majesty, Yang Xia of Yan Kingdom has actually made a deal with Kanapan of Phil Kingdom in private."
"Yan Kingdom provided oil to Phil Kingdom, and this oil could be traded directly in Phil Kingdom's currency, without being exchanged for our Moonlight Coins at all."
Chun told Tanawu about Yang Xia and Kanapan's deal. Tanawu was completely taken aback that they would dare to do such a thing, showing no regard for the Moonlight Kingdom.
"Damn Yang Xia, he dares to challenge my bottom line time and time again. I think he's tired of living."
Upon hearing this, Tanawu was so enraged that he smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces, unable to express his anger.
Since the last National Day, Yang Xia's behavior has become increasingly outrageous, and now he has engaged in unauthorized transactions with the country of Phil.
Since the Moonlight Kingdom rose to power, no one has dared to challenge their authority; Yang Xia is the first.
"Your Majesty, Yang Xia cannot be allowed to live. He has even won over Kanapan to his side. If other countries follow suit, Yang Xia's power will grow stronger and stronger, becoming a serious threat."
Chun, the leader of the Shadow Organization, explained the serious consequences, stating that they had come to realize that Yang Xia was a huge threat.
"And that Kanapan, he actually dared to challenge the king, I wonder if he's got some kind of death wish." Chun was also very surprised by Kanapan's actions.
"Yeah, that Kanapan actually dared to join in the fun, he's got a death wish."
When Tanawu mentioned Kanapan, a sinister expression appeared on his face. In his eyes, Kanapan was nothing.
Originally, the Moonlight Kingdom was actually the territory of the Phil Kingdom. Through forceful plunder, it became the Moonlight Kingdom, leaving the Phil Kingdom only a small piece of land to inhabit. (End of Chapter)
