The Plan To Save The Second Female Lead, Complete Failed [GL]

CHAPTER 105

Weapons made of steel are indeed much better than those made of pig iron.

Zhang He was immediately tempted after seeing the Hundred Refined Sword, and applied for a long sword overnight.
　　
It's just that the production is scarce, so it takes time.
　　
There are weapons, but the number cannot be increased for the time being. It is undoubtedly a huge problem to protect all the people in the two states.

You Ning sat on a chair holding a teacup, and her desk was piled high with documents.

Shi Jinyu also knew what You Ning was worried about, but even if she racked her brains, she could only come up with some simple solutions.
　　
You Ning let out a long sigh of relief and asked Shi Jinyu, "Why do you think the foreigners rush in to burn, kill and loot?"

Every year, foreigners bypass the border to come here, and of course every year a large number of foreigners die on the land of the two states. As long as you break through that line of defense, life and death are at your own risk, and no one will care. 　　

When You Ning asked this question, of course she knew the answer. Not only did she know it, but she knew it very clearly.

Shi Jinyu also knew it, but she still answered, "It's because there is no food outside the pass. If they don't rely on robbing, they can't survive."

Food is the foundation of human survival. Without food, everything is meaningless.
　　
The most basic thing is that everyone lives for the food they can put in their mouths. There are mostly nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall. In winter, cattle, sheep and horses can't hide their fat.

When they are extremely hungry, even if they kill one or two occasionally, it is not enough. There are so many people in a tribe that even if they eat all the grazing livestock, it is not enough.
　　
You Ning's fingers tapped the armrests of the chair. The weather gradually became colder, and You Ning clothes became thicker.

But when the snow falls, what will the people who have no money to buy thick clothes do?

They can still have something to eat if they stay in the house. If foreigners break in, they will starve to death or freeze to death.
　　
She thought about it for several days before letting Shi Jinyu start writing. These things must be solved before the heavy snow falls.
　　
"Open the two border cities as trading ports, pull food over, and tell those foreign merchants that we accept barter, no matter what. Gems and"
　　
Shi Jinyu was a little surprised, "This..."
　　
You Ning's eyes were fixed on the small incense burner on the table. The light green smoke slowly rose, making her eyes wander and she didn't know where to look, "Jinyu, believe what I do, this is all for the people of the two states. Foreigners cannot be kept, even if they want to stay, they must bow down to us."
　　
But Shi Jinyu didn't understand how what she wrote could make the foreigners end up like what You Ning said.
　　
Only You Ning knew that she was releasing a demon imprisoned in a cage.
　　
"One day, foreigners will become a situation where sheep eat wolves. When they find that wool, which is usually worthless, can be exchanged for money, they will slowly raise sheep. They don't farm in the first place, and gradually the whole tribe will be shepherding. When their sheep are sold out, they will find that selling wool is faster than looting to make money and food, so they will go to rob"
　　
"There are no sheep inside the border, only outside the border." Shi Jinyu gradually understood.
　　
You Ning nodded, "In the beginning, we will spend a lot of money to exchange wool, but slowly, it will become less and less. Sooner or later, they will become our shepherds. From today, it may take decades to accomplish this, but if it is done successfully, at least a hundred years of worry-free."
　　
You Ning is an economist. What she knows best in her life is how to leverage. In this world, only she can do it.
