People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 124 Liyue’s Great Crisis

Mount Sumeru, the path becomes a forest.

When the first ray of sunlight fell on the rain forest on the east side of Xumi, the orange-red sun rose and fell on the moss-covered giant trees in the ancient jungle, making them emit some flickering light.

The purple roses all over Mount Sumeru swayed in the morning breeze, and through the morning dew on the petals, they exuded a rich fragrance that intoxicated passers-by.

And in this still dim rainforest, a young boy led four little guys around him, walking through the woods very comfortably.

After finally deciding on the destination of the trip, Lin Feng led the three Lannaros and the sleepy Xiaobai out of his residence on the top floor of the sacred tree early in the morning.

Thinking about how many businesses including Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had submitted formal cooperation applications through the Liyue General Affairs Department some time ago, hoping to become the official partners of the Civilian Equipment of the Liyue Academy.

The relationship with the neighboring country of Liyue has also officially entered Lin Feng's consideration.

Although he personally had some inexplicable fondness for Liyue, what kind of appearance Liyue would present under the governance of the Seven Stars was still an unknown to Lin Feng, who had not conducted any on-site inspections.

If the above cooperations are just some minor problems,

The core purpose of the General Affairs Department's initiation of this application is actually to reach a stable cooperation with Xumi and obtain a long-term and stable supply channel for "Fertile Benefit".

Lin Feng didn't find it strange at all that Liyue had such a need.

According to the research report of scholars from the Ministry of Education, the urban population density of Liyue has reached seven times the rural population density, while the area of ​​arable land is only equivalent to that of Liyue Harbor.

After seeing this counter-intuitive survey result, Lin Feng almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes. Finally, after comparing multiple papers, he had to believe the truth of this information.

Under such premise, if we observe the ratio of Liyue's urban population density to cultivated land and urban area, we can discover the enormous food crisis hidden therein.

You should know that in ancient my country, the area of ​​farmland was generally more than eighty times the area of ​​urban areas, and even in the late Qing Dynasty, the urban population was only one-tenth of the rural population.

As a result of this back and forth, the output of Liyue’s farmland must be at least hundreds of times that of ancient my country in order to meet the domestic residents’ demand for food.

Even in Teyvat where gods exist, unless Lin Feng and the Grass God are willing to take the Heart of God and farm the land themselves, they will never be able to achieve such an outrageous output ratio.

Due to the large area of ​​unusable wasteland in the original area of ​​Guili, as well as the mountains and fields on the west side of Liyue.

The reason why Liyue, with such a small arable land, can still maintain its current prosperity is that it relies on large-scale imports of grain from other countries. Among them, Mondstadt, which is spread across the plains, is one of Liyue's largest importing countries.

As a commercial country, being unable to be self-sufficient in food obviously cannot bring enough sense of security to the people of Liyue.

Although they had previously wanted to improve the soil quality of those wastelands through the Fertile Blessing,
However, the reality went against their wishes. The House of Ordinances led by the sages actually strictly restricted the outflow of the Boon of Fertility. There was no problem with small-scale sales by individuals, but any country's long-term supply needs were directly rejected by them.

Although the raw materials of this thing are not expensive, its manufacture requires the power of the Heart of Goddess Nashida.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the outrageous effect of being able to grow crops normally regardless of the soil quality, even in the desert.

Given the sages' control over the Heart of God, it naturally does not support their unlimited production of the Blessing of Fertility. Therefore, after supplying their own residents, the remaining output is naturally not enough to provide to other countries.

But now with Lin Feng and Nashida, there is no problem with production. But whether or not to reach such a cooperation is not only a question on Xumi's side, but there also seem to be some discordant noises on Liyue's side.

After all, changing from importing food to importing fertilizers is just turning one problem into another. Unless the gods of both sides reach a direct cooperation, Liyue, from the Seven Stars to the residents, probably won’t think that this is much better than before.

I feel that the Demon Gods in Liyue were too fierce in PVP, and there is really nothing we can do about the current situation.

He thought of the authority of rock elements that he needed to transform the desert, as well as the goodwill that Xiao had previously conveyed to the Emperor.

Lin Feng decided to go to Liyue for inspection as a traveler. If the Emperor was willing to cooperate, the gods of both sides could directly sign a formal contract.

In this way, not only the relationship problems with neighboring countries will be solved, but also the mutual exchange of resources between the two sides will be promoted at a deeper level. This is a great thing for both Xumi and Liyue.

But apart from this, Liyue, with the existence of the Emperor, should not need any help from me.

Lin Feng, who was running around in Xumi, overthrowing the Church Order Institute and building infrastructure everywhere, felt that he could finally escape from his life of being away from the ground.

——It's impossible that you, the emperor, are here and you still need help from a tourist like me, right?
Thinking of this, the young man with black hair and black eyes even lightened his steps.

"Hello, Narcida, can you hear me?"

"Of course you can, but what's the purpose of the word 'hello' at the beginning? Is it a custom there?"

"Ahem, let's put it this way, the visual sense of the phone call was too strong, and I couldn't help it for a moment."

Lin Feng looked at the leaf emitting green light in the storage space and was somewhat surprised at Nashida's magical communication technique.

"——What is 'call'? Never mind. Anyway, you've always used some weird words. This isn't the first time."

"I'll say it again. This leaf can actually be considered a part of my 'body', so even if we're across the country, I can still communicate with you. I won't be unable to contact you in case of an unexpected situation."

"But after all, it has left my side and has been out of my power cycle. If it is too far away, its own power will be consumed. So after leaving the country, I may not be able to use it for small talk."

Even during the "voice call", Lin Feng could still hear the loss in the little grass god's voice.

"Don't worry, I don't think we will encounter any major problems this time. After all, the Emperor is still in office, and Liyue won't force me to work for them, right?"

"I've already worked overtime enough in Xumi. No matter what the benefits are, I won't do it again in Liyue."

The boy's tone was extremely firm.

"——Once I get familiar with the environment there, I can take you over for a visit. Don't worry, it won't take too long."

"So, during the time I'm away, everything in Xumi will be handed over to you... Don't worry too much. If you encounter any unexpected situation, just contact me in time."

"Next time I come back, I will bring you the most suitable gift as promised, so just look forward to it~"

Following Nashida's sensible response, Lin Feng looked at the city in front of him which had changed drastically, and decided to visit a 'Grand Forest Patrolman' who had successfully changed his job to become a children's teacher before setting off.
