Xiao Qitian felt a little horrified after hearing Ning Mengyao's words. What she meant was... She wanted to turn Tongbaozhai into a hidden arrow.
"Mengyao, please tell me your specific plans." Xiao Qitian felt that according to Ning Mengyao's character, these things would not be forgotten like this, and she must have some plans in mind.
"After learning about Xiao Country's current situation from Lei An, I already had a plan. Tian Chang and I will go to the border town." Ning Mengyao told a shocking news.
Xiao Qitian didn't understand what Ning Mengyao meant for a while: "Mengyao, what are you doing?"
"In the eyes of others, we have become an empty shell, so now is the time. You also said that the nomads in the north are in the border towns of Xiao and Feng countries. Because of the permission between the two countries, they can stay Down, Xiao Guo and Feng Guo also protected them to a certain extent. In this case, why can't we take advantage of it?" Ning Mengyao calmly analyzed the current situation.
"Yao Yao is right. Nomads generally survive by herding. Their skills on horseback are even better than ours. Our people may not be able to compete with us in riding and shooting. If we give them a place to live, let them Their life has improved, what do you think they will do? Will they be grateful, or will they take action against Xiao Guo?" Qiao Tianchang looked at Xiao Qitian and asked.
"I'll definitely be grateful." It's not just a day or two for them to deal with the nomads, and they still understand their character.
Those people were generous, hospitable, and reciprocated their kindness. This was his favorite place.
"That's right. If this is the case, why can't we take advantage of it? This is basically a mutually beneficial thing."
Xiao Qitian was not stupid, and he immediately understood what the two of them meant. He thought for a while: "Then what are you going to do?"
"When we came here, we established a route between here and the west coast. We sold things from here and things from there. Many things of the nomadic people, as long as they are processed well, will be sold to the public. People like it, and at the same time, it can also promote the development of the border town's economy. Only when the country is strong and the people are strong can the army be stronger." Ning Mengyao looked at Xiao Qitian and said seriously.
This was the first time Yufeng and the others heard Ning Mengyao talk about matters other than business.
The expression on Xiao Qitian's face changed. After thinking about it carefully, he understood what Ning Mengyao meant.
In fact, the people in the border towns are not living a very good life. If we can really make them live a good life through hard work, this will also be a good result.
"Meng Yao, I'll trouble you."
"No need to say this."
She actually did that for a purpose. Now that they have returned, they will naturally live here. Only Xiao Guo is strong enough to reassure them.
Qiao Tianchang said thoughtfully: "About this, after I go there, I can promote martial arts training to men, women, old and young."
If everyone has the ability to protect themselves, then what should they be afraid of
Xiao Qitian was startled: "Is this... feasible?"
"You won't know until you try it. Do you know it won't work before you even try it? Don't make excuses for yourself." It's not that it doesn't work, but that you haven't done it yet, and you have already denied yourself before you do it. So what's the point? What's so powerful about expelling those people
Xiao Qitian nodded, he was really not good at this aspect.
After everything was settled, Ning Mengyao and the others went to rest. The next day, Xiao Chengya and Bai Mo arrived at the imperial city with their child Bai Yu.
Seeing Ning Mengyao's family returning safely, Xiao Chengya's eyes were filled with relief. They were finally back.
"You kid is out and you don't know how to give us some news. Yu'er, this is your sister." After Xiao Chengya scolded her daughter, she introduced the two siblings who had never met before.
Ning Mengyao gave him a greeting gift, while Bai Yu was a little shy.
"Mom, I want you to do a favor."
"What?"
"Let Uncle Bai stay by Qi Tian's side and be his think tank." Xiao Qitian is far behind Xiao Qifeng, especially when it comes to the emperor's strategy.
