After arriving in the Great Qi Kingdom, Yang Xia did not rest for a moment. He had already gained a general understanding of the situation in various aspects and knew in which areas the Great Qi Kingdom had advantages.

He wanted to help the Great Qi Kingdom fully utilize these advantages and maximize the value of these resources.

Yang Xia found Su Qi again and talked to him about the ore.

After arriving in the Great Qi Kingdom, Yang Xia discovered that the area was rich in minerals, so he went directly to Su Qi to discuss the mineral production.

Once these aspects form a complete industrial chain, they will naturally generate huge profits.

This was also something that surprised Yang Xia. He had originally thought that the reason why Daqi was so poor and backward was naturally due to a lack of resources.

But to my surprise, my idea wasn't entirely correct; there was an unusually large amount of ore here.

The problem is that the locals don't have advanced tools for processing; they just do a simple manual processing and then sell it casually, which isn't worth much money at all.

In their eyes, they were no different from ordinary stones, and no one would consider these minerals a treasure.

Yang Xia knew, of course, how valuable these ores were, and he was excited for a long time when he discovered them.

It seems that they are very confident in the development of Daqi in all aspects. With this precious ore, the economic strength of Daqi can be rapidly improved.

"King Su Qi, I've come here today to discuss with you the issue of mineral mining in the Great Qi Kingdom."

After meeting, Yang Xia went straight to the point and talked to Su Qi about the minerals, without hiding anything from him.

Since arriving in the Great Qi Kingdom, I have intended to cooperate sincerely with them, for only with such sincerity can I earn their sincerity in return.

Yang Xia has always been like this, which is why he has earned everyone's respect.

"You mean those ores that are everywhere? They have very little value and are not worth much money at all."

Just as Yang Xia had predicted, no one in the Great Qi Kingdom understood the value of the ore.

"That's because the Great Qi Kingdom doesn't have advanced processing machinery, so they're treated as ordinary stones. In fact, they're quite valuable."

"Therefore, Yan wants to purchase some first for processing to maximize its value."

Yang Xia proposed an idea: to maximize the value of these ores, he should first purchase a portion and allow Yan Kingdom to conduct an experiment.

Of course, Yang Xia already knew that these ores were extremely valuable, but he wanted to understand their value further.

Next, the mining and processing of minerals will take place in the Great Qi Kingdom. If nothing unexpected happens, this will become the main source of income for the Great Qi Kingdom, creating enormous economic value for it.

"No problem, those stones are really worthless in our eyes. Take them all if you need them."

Su Qi was truly too kind; he felt he should thank Yang Xia for taking the initiative to help the Great Qi Kingdom plan for development.

Those worthless stones were nothing to him; he wouldn't even hesitate to give them all to Yang Xia.

It seems that Su Qi really doesn't understand the value of those ores at all, and actually wants to give them all to Yang Xia.

If you encounter those treacherous and cunning villains, this is a golden opportunity; such wealth is unimaginable.

Once those broken stones that Su Qi mentioned are processed by some advanced machines, they will become extremely valuable, and their value is immeasurable.

Yang Xia would never do such a despicable thing. He came to help the Great Qi Kingdom develop, not to plunder.

"King Suqi, thank you for your kindness. These ores are very valuable treasures after processing, and our Yan Kingdom cannot accept them for nothing."

"Right now, I just want to buy some and take them back to Yan Kingdom to study their specific value. We should do whatever we need to do in these aspects, and we can't let Da Qi Kingdom suffer a loss."

Yang Xia immediately made his stance clear, which moved Su Qi even more.

He knew he was incredibly lucky to have met such a remarkable person as Yang Xia, who unconditionally helped the Great Qi Kingdom move forward and was of such good character, never deceiving them in any way.

Are these stones really that valuable?

Upon hearing Yang Xia's words, Su Qi could hardly believe his ears.

They had lived on the land of the Great Qi Kingdom for so many years, and generation after generation had regarded these ores as broken stones, even thinking that they could not grow crops because of these broken stones.

Hearing Yang Xia suddenly say that these ores were priceless treasures was something Su Qi found hard to believe.

"King Suqi, ores are certainly extremely valuable. After processing, they can be successfully used in industry, agriculture, and technological development, and can even be used to refine metals..."

Yang Xia patiently explained the value of these ores to Su Qi.

This was the first time Su Qi had ever heard such a thing. He was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. This was something he had never dared to imagine. The broken stone in front of him had suddenly become a treasure.

“Yang Xia, I never dreamed that these inconspicuous stones would have such great value in other aspects. If you hadn’t come to our Great Chu Kingdom, our ancestors would still have treated these ores as useless broken stones.”

"It's heartbreaking to think about. No wonder our Great Chu Kingdom is so poor and backward."

Fei Liang was extremely shocked after hearing Yang Xia's words, and at the same time felt deeply guilty.

As the king of the Great Chu Kingdom, his knowledge in these areas was so lacking that it's no wonder the Great Chu Kingdom remained trapped in poverty and backwardness.

He expressed his gratitude for Yang Xia's visit once again, and was moved to tears.

“Yang Xia, I see you now. You are here to help our Great Chu Kingdom with all your heart. You have told me all these valuable things without any concealment.”

"What have I done to deserve this good fortune to meet you? Our great Chu Kingdom is finally saved. We can finally get rid of this poverty and backwardness."

Fei Liang's voice was choked with emotion. He was truly grateful to Yang Xia and could not express his feelings in words.

It's truly unimaginable how many more years their poverty would have lasted if Yang Xia hadn't appeared in the Great Chu Kingdom. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

This is the consequence of ignorance; they have a huge pile of precious ores, yet they treat them like worthless stones.

This is nobody's fault but their own limited understanding. No wonder their gratitude towards Yang Xia is so overflowing.

"King Fei Liang, you really don't need to be so polite. I've said it before, this is also for the sake of our Yan Kingdom. Our two countries actually have a mutually beneficial relationship." Seeing Fei Liang's agitated state, Yang Xia couldn't bear it and comforted him with a few words.

Fei Liang nodded emphatically, deciding to cooperate even better with Yang Xia's work from now on.

He now fully understands that Yang Xia is a highly capable person who will undoubtedly bring about earth-shattering changes to the Great Chu Kingdom.

Thinking about all these things made Fei Liang extremely excited. He was willing to do anything to help the Great Chu Kingdom develop rapidly.

"The next step may take a while, but I will try my best to shorten it so that the Great Chu Kingdom can become rich as soon as possible."

Seeing Fei Liang's excited state, Yang Xia knew that he was also afraid of poverty and desperately hoped that the Great Chu Kingdom could become rich, so he quickly told him about these aspects.

From any perspective, Yang Xia hopes this process can be as short as possible.

This would also benefit the Yan Kingdom. If the Great Chu Kingdom were to develop rapidly, it would become a solid backing for the Yan Kingdom.

"Yang Xia, what are your plans next? How can we maximize the value of these ores?"

After a moment, Fei Liang's excitement subsided, and he began to seriously discuss the next issue. He knew, of course, that this was a rather complicated process.

For the Great Chu Kingdom, they had no way of understanding the value of these ores. Now, when they heard Yang Xia talk about these aspects, it was like listening to gibberish.

Without Yang Xia's help, these ores would still be nothing but a pile of worthless rocks in the Great Chu Kingdom.

"I plan to set up a factory here and provide you with some advanced machinery and equipment free of charge, and teach your Great Chu Kingdom how to extend the industrial chain of these ores."

"Once the Great Chu Kingdom stabilizes its mineral industry chain, it can export to the Yan Kingdom. At that time, we will have normal trade relations."

Yang Xia told Fei Liang all these things in detail, explaining every single detail to him.

Fei Liang understood perfectly. Throughout the entire process, the Great Chu Kingdom remained the biggest beneficiary. They could obtain Yan Kingdom's advanced equipment for free, and also receive guidance from Yang Xia for free.

Next, we can develop the industrial chain for these ores, turning what they see as worthless rocks into valuable treasures that can then be sold to other countries.

Yang Xia was exceptionally righteous and did not try to take advantage of the Great Chu Kingdom. He still intended to purchase the ores produced by the Great Chu Kingdom through normal means.

"Yang Xia, I don't know what to say. From beginning to end, our Great Chu Kingdom has completely benefited from the Yan Kingdom's help, but has not given anything in return."

"Thinking about these things really makes me feel embarrassed. Our Great Chu Kingdom can really provide these mineral resources to the Yan Kingdom for free."

Fei Liang spoke very seriously with Yang Xia about this matter, explaining that he was willingly giving these things to Yan State.

"If you are not a good ruler, there is no need for such considerations. As long as the Great Chu Kingdom can develop rapidly and conduct normal trade with the Yan Kingdom, that will already be a great help."

Yang Xia always adhered to his principles.

"Yang Xia, there's no need to say anything more. No amount of thanks can express how I feel right now. All I can do is cooperate with you better."

Fei Liang nodded repeatedly; he had long regarded Yang Xia as his spiritual guide. He felt incredibly fortunate to have known such a great person as Yang Xia in this lifetime.

Seeing the bright future of the Great Chu Kingdom, Fei Liang was in an extremely good mood.

Looking at the time, it was lunchtime, so Fei Liang warmly invited Yang Xia to have lunch.

"Yang Xia, let me treat you to lunch. Our Great Chu Kingdom is underdeveloped, so please don't look down on us."

Fei Liang sincerely invited Yang Xia to dinner, and Yang Xia did not refuse.

After arriving in the Great Chu Kingdom, Yang Xia was extremely busy every day and generally did not accept any invitations to meals from anyone.

He came to the Great Chu Kingdom to accelerate their development, not as a guest. Only by working harder could their plan be realized sooner. Yang Xia had been striving towards this goal.

Seeing Fei Liang's enthusiastic attitude, Yang Xia readily agreed.

It was just a meal; after eating, Yang Xia would still throw himself into his busy work.

In his eyes, being able to do the work he wants to do is the happiest thing.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. We'll just have a simple meal; we need to get back to work after we finish eating."

Yang Xia's attitude has always been so easygoing and unpretentious.

The two returned to the palace of the Great Chu Kingdom one after the other, and Fei Liang quickly ordered preparations to be made.

Soon, Fei Liang had the best banquet in the Great Chu Kingdom prepared, along with songs and dances.

Yang Xia just wanted to have a simple meal, but he didn't expect Fei Liang to make such a big deal out of it, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, he knew that Fei Liang was being kind, so he didn't show it, thinking that he could leave after finishing his meal.

Even though the Great Chu Kingdom was extremely poor and backward, Fei Liang still brought out all the best things in the palace and prepared these national anthems and dances, so on the surface it still looked quite grand.

However, Yang Xia wasn't concerned with these things. As the ruler of Yan Kingdom, he never indulged in such practices and had long ago abolished all such singing and dancing.

If you don't appreciate these things, you might as well save your time to develop the national strength of Yan. It is precisely because Yang Xia acted decisively in these matters that Yan's development was so rapid.

The banquet began, filled with singing and dancing. Fei Liang kept toasting Yang Xia, expressing his loyalty.

"Yang Xia, thank you for coming to our Great Chu Kingdom. From now on, I will obey your every word. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

"I see now. With a great man like you by our side, our Great Chu Kingdom is saved. Let me offer you another cup of wine."

……

Fei Liang maintained a very humble attitude throughout, never considering himself the king of the Great Chu Kingdom, but rather as Yang Xia's younger brother.

This kind of relationship made Yang Xia feel somewhat uncomfortable, because he preferred a business partner. (End of Chapter)
