Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

"5000 jin per mu!"

"We'll never have to go hungry again!!!"

Anxi Town was in a state of uproar at this moment.

None of the residents of Anxi Town ever imagined that there could be grain yielding 5000 jin per mu in the world.

When the general handed the immortal seed to them, he said there would be a bumper harvest. They imagined that a harvest of seven or eight hundred catties would be more than enough!

And the result?! Five thousand catties!!! And this kind of grain doesn't even require that much land! It can be grown even on the newly improved land in Anxi Town!

Not to mention the already fertile land on both sides of the Tum River.

The excitement in Anxi Town lasted all day, because everyone knew that even if the general stopped transporting food from the Immortal Realm, they would no longer go hungry!

Moreover, Anxi Town now has the resources to expand its population, so the general no longer needs to do everything personally.

When Old Liu heard about the harvest results from the farmland in Tumuhe, he immediately called over the refugees who had been settled in the shelter.

"Everyone, get out to the fields and weed and kill the pests! Anyone who damages a single seedling, I'll break their legs! These seedlings are incredibly fertile, yielding five thousand catties per mu!!!"

Actually, even without Old Liu's reminder, the others were very attentive.

Because they themselves knew that the grain in the fields was their guarantee of having enough to eat in the future... Before, they had just followed the townspeople in calling him a general or a deity, but from this moment on, everyone had no doubt about this claim.

In their view, only gods could make the crops in the fields yield 5,000 catties per mu.

Li Wen had already taught them the relevant processing and storage methods for potatoes and sweet potatoes in advance, and the subsequent work proceeded in an orderly manner.

The concrete warehouse contained a large quantity of food.

However, these foods were not sealed and will be circulated in a short period of time.

The remaining portion that needs to be stored has been dried, so it can be stored for a long time without any problem and can also be stored as emergency food.

Over the next two days, potatoes and sweet potatoes appeared more frequently in the Anxi Town market.

Merchants from the west initially didn't understand what this new type of food was for. However, after learning how to eat it at the canteen, they immediately recognized the new business opportunity and began to import large quantities of goods to sell in Tongcheng.

This kind of product isn't exclusively distributed; they have to seize the opportunity to make money.

Now, merchants have reached a consensus: there is no end to making money in Anxi Town! Now all merchants will spontaneously flock to Anxi Town, but temporary identity cards are not easy to obtain here. There are strict requirements for qualification verification. Without a temporary identity card, you cannot wholesale goods in large quantities at the market.

Therefore, these later merchants could only get what was left over from the previous group of merchants. In this way, they spontaneously formed secondary distributors and sold Anxi Town's products to more distant places.

In particular, the reputation of its soaps has now spread throughout the entire Western Regions.

Initially, the soap circulated only within the nobility of Tongcheng, but as its influence grew, even the royal family began to buy it, captivated by its appearance and scent.

This exquisite product, which could also alter body odor, quickly became exclusive to the nobility.

The sales outlets in Ariel's area are sold out almost immediately each day after they open, with servants sent by the waiting nobles sweeping everything up.

Soap is now being sold for 520 yuan a box... On the black market, the price will only be higher.

This put Ariels in a difficult position regarding making money.

In the temporary palace, Ariel looked at the numbers in the ledger. Through hard work, she had learned to understand the relationships between these numbers.

When the prime minister walked in and saw the girl's troubled expression, he gently shook his head with a doting look on his face.

The prime minister never married, and in his eyes, Ariel was like half a daughter to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have put aside his heavy responsibilities and come all the way to Tongcheng to assist Ariel.

"What is it that troubles Your Highness?"

The prime minister asked the question.

"Prime Minister! You've arrived?!"

Ariel was delighted to see the Prime Minister. She approached him with the sound of silver bells, but said with a troubled expression, "The shop we've been working with the General on lately is doing so well. We sell out every morning... and the shop is empty afterwards. I feel like it's such a waste."

Ariel expressed her distress.

Upon hearing Ariels's distress, the Prime Minister smiled and said, "This problem is easy to solve. Since you feel it's a waste to leave the shop empty, you can go to Anxi Town and select some other goods to sell."

"Oh, right!"

Ariels's beautiful eyes lit up upon hearing the Prime Minister's words: "Prime Minister, may I go to Anxi Town again?"

Ariel could be coquettish; she had already planned how she would plead after her father refused.

The prime minister nodded and said, "Alright, take your personal guards and set off."

The prime minister even told her to set off immediately.

"Huh?"

"Go ahead, I've heard that many merchants from the Western Regions have gone to Anxi Town to do business. If you go too late, the goods may have already been bought up by others."

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, Ariel was so surprised that she immediately began packing her things to prepare to head to Anxi Town with her maids and guards.

After instructing his personal guards to accompany Arielse on her journey, the Prime Minister went to the city gate to see her off.

After Ariels left, the Prime Minister's kind expression turned serious. He took out a parchment book from his pocket, looked at its contents, and his face was full of worry.

The parchment book was used by the people of the Northern Desert to summon their subordinate states. The fact that the prince of the Northern Desert used the parchment book to send a message to the White Elephant Kingdom clearly showed that he looked down on the White Elephant Kingdom, even though the two sides were nominal allies.

"Where is the prince of the northern desert?"

The prime minister asked his subordinate beside him.

The subordinate bowed and replied, "Your Excellency, the Northern Desert Prince's entourage was thirty li away just an incense stick's time ago..."

"I see."

Not long after the prime minister finished speaking, smoke signals appeared in the distance outside the city gate.

This is the dust kicked up by the cavalry as they galloped at high speed.

"Oh ho ho ho!!!"

Dozens of northern knights galloped wildly, letting out strange cries, towards the direction of the city gate.

The archers on the city wall couldn't resist nocking their bows when they saw this, but their officers held their hands back.

"lay down."

The officer said in a low voice, having received prior orders and knowing who the previous visitors were.

That was the prince of the northern desert.

According to the custom of the Mobei tribe, the prince's status is equivalent to that of the crown prince of the Great Zhou Kingdom, which means that the arrogant young knight in front of us is the future king of Mobei.

The northern tribes are the overlords of the grasslands, and have now unified the entire grasslands, making them extremely powerful.

They are definitely not someone the weakened White Elephant Kingdom can afford to offend.
