The Xigong family has maintained close contacts with Longmen in recent years, but a very small number of people know that the trade between Longmen and Xigong family is only assigned by the "top".

And this "top" comes from Yan inland.

.....

In the courtyard of the cherry blossom forest.

Faced with Hikoshi Nishimiya's perseverance, Xia Feng had lost his patience.

"I'll say it again last time. I don't want to participate in this matter. Please pull me into the water."

Hikashi Nishimiya will never give up easily.

"Grandpa Xia Feng, if the Yingwu family really comes here, do you know how many people will die?"

"How many?"

"There are about 100,000 troops in various cities in the Xigong family, but in order to deal with the war, the force recruited by the head of the family has reached 400,000, and most of them are civilians."

"Oh? That's the case."

"That's true."

"But, what does this have to do with me?"

"this......"

Xia Feng approached Nishimiya Yoshimiya and his voice was low.

"Don't think I don't know. These 400,000 people were not temporarily recruited. As early as a few months ago, the Xigong family was forcibly recruiting troops because you were planning to attack Dongzhou."

At this moment, Hikari Nishimiya seemed to have suffered a huge grievance and denied it repeatedly.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, you are really misunderstood. The head of the Ling family did not intend to really attack Dongzhou from beginning to end. The previous gathering at the border was just to put pressure on the Yingwu family. Please listen to me and tell me about this..."

Xia Feng's face was extremely gloomy.

"I don't want to hear you say slowly, I'll limit you to explain it within 1 minute."

"good."

Subsequently, Hikoshi Nishimiya explained the Nishimiya family's previous military actions in extremely concise words.

....

In recent years, the Xigong family has been engaged in trade interactions with Longmen, and some commodities that are different from the local backward quality have also slowly entered the Eastern Kingdom.

However, for the developed Longmen, the market in Dongguo is still too small, so small that even some large chambers of commerce are unwilling to interact with it.

There is no way, the only thing the Xiguchi family can control is the Xichuan area, not the entire Dongguo. Moreover, the Dongguo has a scarce geographical resources, and only fish, gold, and grains with slightly higher quality are worthy of the Longmen.

Under the condition of unequal resources, this is a very disadvantageous situation, because this kind of trade transaction will lose its right to speak and be exploited to the extreme by others.

Faced with such disadvantages, finally, the young head of the Xigong family came up with a solution.

By collecting information and understanding the world pattern, a hard currency resource circulating all over the world has entered the Nishimiya family's sight.

This thing is the source stone.

.....

Like any country in the world except Xielag, the eastern country will be favored by natural disasters.

But because it is an island country and its land area is small, the frequency of natural disasters is very small. Even the people I have seen think it is a terrifying natural disaster or is linked to the punishment of gods.

Natural disasters can destroy the land.

Land will breed source stone.

Source stones can cause ore diseases.

However, in the Eastern Kingdom where bandits were rampant and wars were raging, the horrific impression of ore disease was reduced to a minimum.

To put it bluntly, in areas where there is no basic survival security, no one cares too much about a chronic fatal disease.

Therefore, the Xigong family only valued the middle point, [Land will breed the source stone].

Source stones are in short supply in the world of Terra, especially those world powers, where source stones are prohibited from trading. It is impossible for any country to sell source stones mined in their own territory for money.

However, the backward Dongguo does not have Yuanshi Technology, and Yuanshi cannot play its due value in their hands.

In this case, the best way is to sell it in exchange for capital for national development.

.....

Hikashi Nishimiya didn't say much, but the explanation was easy to understand.

Simply put, Xigong Ling, the head of the Xigong family, wanted to learn the mining method of source stone and introduce the processing technology of source stone, but the Xichuan area was too small and it was not enough to spend too much effort.

Therefore, Xigong Ling wanted to negotiate with the Yingwu family to make it give up the natural disaster area left by Dongzhou, and agreed to the people of the Xigong family to enter the Dongzhou area and mine the source stones, and everyone will develop together by then.

However, what you say is a trick, and others hear it another trick. After all, people cannot be generalized.

The head of the Yingwu family, Yingwu Shanyu, perfectly inherited the closed ideas of the older generation. He did not understand Yuanshi Technology, but he just thought that the Nishimiya family was looking for excuses to enter Dongzhou.

In other words, the Nishimori family was exploited by Longmen and the Yan Kingdom behind it, or in other words, except for the Yingwu family, everyone was in the same group, and the purpose was to slowly erode the Yingwu family's rule over Dongzhou through this method.

So what Sakurabuyama Yu, including the entire Sakurabu family, thinks so.

....

After listening to Hikashi Nishimiya's explanation, Xia Feng curled his lips and said nothing.

This reason is quite reasonable, and it also indirectly proves that Xigong Ling is a bit visionary and is still a revolutionary.

In this way, the Nishimiya family's previous behavior of putting pressure on the Yingwu family seemed to be normal.

It’s like if you buried your own territory, and you don’t dig it, and then you don’t let others dig it. Now others work hard to dig it for you, and dig it out half the same as you, but you still don’t agree.

You think others are harming you and burying landmines in your yard. This is a paranoid persecution.

No wonder Xigong Ling couldn't help but move troops. In fact, this was a political means.

.....

Under the awning, Hinamiya Nishimiya sighed again.

"God of Xia Feng, this is the thing. The head of the Ling family never thought of really entering Dongzhou. If you say all the good things, the Yingwu family still doesn't let go. It's a helpless move to put pressure on the border."

"Oh, I understand."

Xia Feng understood this matter, but did not comment because it was just a one-sided statement.

....

To be honest, at first he didn't want to participate in this matter at all.

Whether the Nishimiya family fights the Yingwu family or the Yingwu family fights the Ximiya family, he doesn't care about who wins and who loses, who dies and who is injured, and he doesn't care or have no interest in understanding.

However, as this incident became closer and closer to him invisibly, he couldn't help but start to wonder about another thing.

"Mr. Yanshi, I heard from the military general before that, in order to prepare for the war, you have been trading with Longmen at Xigang?"

"Yes."

"What are you trading?"

Hikashi Nishimiya did not hide it and replied truthfully.

"It is basically needed during wartime, including medicines, food, clothing, boots, lighting and heating equipment."

"Oh? They were all transported from Longmen?"

"It was shipped from Longmen, but there are many sellers at the source, such as the large family in Yan and the pharmaceutical merchants in Sammy."

After hearing this, Xia Feng became even more curious.

The strategic materials transported from Longmen, even if they are old and eliminated goods, must be ahead of the average level of the Eastern country.

Medicines are definitely highly effective trauma drugs, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and bandages.

Food must be quick-food dry food, such as compressed biscuits or canned food.

As for other equipment, it is definitely hundreds of times stronger than the ones provided by the Eastern Country.

This doesn't make sense.

....

The summer wind frowned.

"Mr. Yanshi, this is wrong. The head of your Xigong family is not a fool. You dare to put pressure on the border before, so you must have measured the military capabilities of both sides."

Hikashi Nishimiya nodded.

"That's right, a few months ago, the overall strength of our Nishimiya family was completely overwhelming the Yingwu family, and we had an important piece of information."

"What information?"

"A famous general recruited by the Yingwu family from abroad was assassinated in public at the birthday party of the head of the family, which increased and decreased, which gave us the confidence to put pressure on us."

Xia Feng's eyebrows were twisted into twists and he couldn't wait to continue asking.
