Chapter 1430 Famine and Natural Disaster 588
"rise."

There was a carelessness in the words.

Even if outsiders are dissatisfied, they can do nothing about it and can only keep it to themselves and digest it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Everyone, please take a seat." Zhou Ting invited him as a courtesy.

Butler Luo quietly withdrew, and after a while, fruits, snacks, tea and juice were served. Chunmei stood one step behind Mingyi, and when she saw the fruits and snacks being served, she stepped forward to help bring them to the table at the top.

She would put the relevant food next to Mingyi so that she could take it easily.

Representatives from two countries and five families looked at the young boy and girl in secret.

"I have long admired the reputation of the Crown Prince of Zhou. I am fortunate to be the patriarch of the Gesang clan, a royal family of the grassland. I should have come to see the Crown Prince of Zhou a few years ago, but I didn't expect that natural disasters and man-made disasters always make people feel uneasy. It was not until today that I got to see the Crown Prince's true appearance. Seeing is believing. The Crown Prince is heroic and invincible. The northwest is thriving under your jurisdiction and is full of vitality. You are indeed a young talent."

A big man with a big beard and fur clothes spoke first.

His face was hidden by the beard, so his true features could not be seen. One could only see that his eyes were extremely shrewd, yet reserved. If it weren't for the flattery, Zhou Ting and Ming Yi would not have been the first to notice him.

"Chief Wutu is too kind." Zhou Ting looked calm and his attitude was relatively gentle. "It's all for the people of the fiefdom to live and work in peace and contentment. As long as the people are well, that's all that matters."

"We are lucky to be the people under your rule." With such an outstanding ruler, the people of the Northwest are in a blessed place.

Their grassland was not originally very difficult. The animals fled everywhere due to natural disasters, and they could no longer hunt to feed their families. The cattle and sheep they raised did not have enough water and tender grass to eat, resulting in the grassland losing important materials to trade with people from the northwest, and their living standards continued to decline.

If they don't find a way out, they can only wait for death. Otherwise, why would they come to the northwest for help?

Zhou Ting's expression remained the same, and he didn't intend to respond to the words of the Wutu chief; he didn't know how to respond either. The grassland and Lanchi had lost the basic conditions for survival, and whatever he said would seem like adding insult to injury.

"My Lord, I am Feng Lanting from the Feng clan of Lanchi State, and this is Feng Wuji, the head of the Feng clan of my father-in-law."

"Alright." Feng Wuji frowned slightly, interrupting his daughter's untimely intervention with displeasure. He stood up and bowed to Zhou Ting, "My Lord, please don't blame me. My daughter is ignorant. I will punish her severely when I return."

Zhou Ting didn't even look at Feng Lanting, he just said to Feng Wuji: "It's better to be simple."

There is a self-important, arrogant and domineering eldest daughter, and the Feng family is in turmoil!
When Lanchi Kingdom still existed, this person had the capital to be arrogant and domineering; but now, the country is gone and the family is gone. She was stranded in the northwest trying to survive and still holding on to her identity, unable to see the truth, and losing the protection of power, this woman suffered a lot.

The Northwest nobles were not easy to mess with. In recent years, they had sent people to the Northwest Army for training in order to catch the big ship of the Zhou court and wait for the sailing. Their idea was good, and it was true. Those who entered the military camp for training were assigned meritorious positions according to their military merits. Many people had good resources, both civil and military, and now had the status of a thousand households and a hundred households.

How can people from other countries defeat the local gentry clans?
Feng Lanting no longer knows how to restrain herself, and there are many people who can make her see her current situation clearly.

Feng Wuji's eyes flickered as he glanced at his daughter, suppressing his disappointment and saying, "What the prince said is true. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child, and her personality is a bit naive and willful."

"Aye!"

"Shut up." Feng Wuji said sternly.

Feng Lanting gritted her teeth and stamped her feet unwillingly. Feng Wuji pleaded, "Please forgive me, my Lord."

They came here to seek a place to survive, not to offend anyone; although they seemed a little spoiled before, they didn't make any big mistakes after all, but today they made such a mistake.

He also wanted to send the person to the Zhou Wang Palace to seek asylum, but now it seems that it is impossible; there are other women in the tribe, and he can go back and let the elders of the tribe to screen them.

"It's okay. I'm not a violent person. Your daughter has a generous and kind personality, which is really rare." It's rare to see someone being so generous when humiliating himself.

Feng Wuji heard the hidden meaning in his words, but he didn't understand the implication. However, this was not the time for him to ask further questions, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, my Lord, for not blaming me. I am sorry for being rude."

"Please sit down, Chief Feng." Zhou Ting's eyes were cold, and he was going to make another move. "I heard someone report that the Feng family of Lan Chi State has a gold and silver mine of 100 acres. Is that true?"

Feng Wuji's heart tightened, "That's right, Feng is willing to offer a hundred acres of gold mines and a hundred acres of silver mines in exchange for a place to live. I hope that the prince will grant me permission. If the prince is willing, Feng has a batch of ten ginsengs that are more than five hundred years old, thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, five pairs of snow silkworms, a hundred kilograms of royal jelly, an ice silkworm, and a nine-tailed fox."

After a pause, seeing that Zhou Ting was unmoved, he continued, "Twenty thousand catties of food and fodder."

Zhou Ting smiled and said, "Patriarch Feng is very sincere."

"As I should. It's not easy for our Feng family to survive the natural disasters and man-made calamities. We only ask for a place to live so that the Feng family can recuperate."

Zhou Ting said nothing and did not nod. He turned his deep eyes to Wutu who had just spoken, "Why did Chief Wutu come here?"

Wutu: You ask even though you know the answer.

Thinking this in his heart, he dared not neglect it, "My Lord, please allow me to report that Wutu and his people came here for the same purpose as Chief Feng, just to ask for a place to recuperate. If my Lord is willing, Wutu is willing to offer two iron mines, 20,000 catties of food and grass, a pill of my tribe's sacred medicine, a red fruit, 3,000 pieces of furs, and 5,000 cattle and sheep each."

Zhou Ting nodded slightly without saying anything.

The chief of another tribe on the grassland stood up and bowed, saying, "The Wurigen tribe would like to exchange two copper mines, a red fruit, 5,000 furs, and 5,000 cattle and sheep for a place to rest and recuperate. Please grant me your approval, my Lord."

"The Gong family of Lanchi State is willing to give 100,000 grains and grass, 10 100-year-old ginsengs, 5 500-year-old ginsengs, 13 1,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidums, 50 Bodhi snakes, and 300 kilograms of top-quality jade, jadeite, and agate. All we ask for is a place to live."

"The Tian family of Lan Chi country is willing to give 100,000 grains and grass, five 100-year-old ginsengs, two ginsengs over 500 years old, five 1,000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a Gu King obtained from Ning country many years ago, and 500 kilograms of top-grade jade, jadeite, and agate, in exchange for a place to live."

They showed their sincerity and asked for a place to recuperate and rest according to what their families could offer.

This shows how difficult the situation was for the countries and tribes outside the northwest.

Zhou Ting looked at the clan leaders of the Gong and Tian clans of Lan Chi State, and his eyes became kinder. "Clan leaders Gong and Tian, ​​please take a seat."

The two men looked up and saw Zhou Ting's expression was cold, but, perhaps it was an illusion, they felt that the Prince of Zhou had some goodwill towards them.

"Yes."

The two clan leaders took their seats, and they put themselves in a very humble position; they condescended to do so only to secure a place for their people to survive.
