Xiao Jing'an and Shen Qiubai looked at Su Jinyue with confusion, wondering why she suddenly brought this up.
But seeing that Su Jinyue was holding one of their hands and kept winking at them, the two of them still cooperated with Su Jinyue.
Getting down from the roof is easy, but getting back up is a bit more difficult.
In fact, Su Jinyue could fly directly onto the roof now, but to avoid being too shocking, she'd better stick to climbing the ladder.
Once they reached the rooftop, with only the three of them around, they could speak in hushed tones without fear of being overheard.
Once they arrived, Su Jinyue put on a serious face and spoke frankly with Shen Qiubai.
"Sister Shen, there are some strange things about this world, which I'm sure you've already noticed."
They came with cheat codes, seeking not only the fortune of the Great Yong Dynasty but also the power to plunder the origin of this small world.
If they succeed, not only will the Great Yong Dynasty collapse, but the people of the world will suffer and death will be ravaged. Moreover, this small world will be delayed in its recovery due to the injury, and may even be severely damaged or destroyed.
Sister Shen, you just survived an apocalypse, you probably don't want to experience the same thing again, right?
Shen Qiubai's expression, which had been indifferent before, was now very serious, but she still had some doubts.
"But how can I believe what you're saying is true? What if you're lying to me?"
Shen Qiubai wasn't offended by having her secrets exposed; her confidence in facing others stemmed from her own strength.
Although Su Jinyue was also a transmigrator, Shen Qiubai was confident that he could deal with her, and even if he couldn't beat her, he still had the ability to protect himself.
Su Jinyue smiled confidently at Shen Qiubai and replied, "We have no ulterior motives towards you, so why would we lie to you?"
As for whether you will believe us or not, you can see what we do next.
What we do is definitely for the good of the Great Yong Dynasty and this small world.
We will also eliminate those unscrupulous outsiders who covet our territory.
The best help you can give us is simply not taking their side.
Shen Qiubai appreciated Su Jinyue's frankness. Besides, she had read some online novels when she was bored in the apocalypse, and she knew some of the tropes about transmigrated mission takers with cheat codes.
Looking at Xiao Jing'an, who trusted Su Jinyue completely, Shen Qiubai had a sudden realization.
Xiao Jing'an is the medium through which those mission takers plunder luck. If the mission takers succeed, then Xiao Jing'an's fate probably won't be good either.
Judging from Su Jinyue's attitude, Shen Qiubai felt that she was not there to save the Dayong Dynasty or this small world.
Su Jinyue's goal is solely for Xiao Jing'an, who is right in front of her!
There's probably something else going on here that's best kept secret.
With that in mind, Shen Qiubai decided not to pry into other people's privacy; her only goal was to live a peaceful life.
Now that someone else has taken on the task of saving the Great Yong Dynasty and the world, she can relax under the big tree and enjoy the fruits of others' labor.
Having figured it out, Shen Qiubai stated his attitude directly: "I just want to live a peaceful life, and it would be best if I could avoid war and turmoil."
Those restless troublemakers should be dealt with if possible.
There's only one thing: the Shen family has treated me very well. I also know that the Shen family still holds military power, and the emperor seems to be very wary of military generals who possess military power, but I can assure you that the Shen family has absolutely no ulterior motives towards the Great Yong Dynasty.
"In the future, if Your Majesty wishes to reclaim the Shen family's military power, please state this directly. I will certainly make the Shen family hand it over without hesitation, and afterwards, I will ensure that the Shen family can live in peace."
Xiao Jing'an readily accepted Shen Qiubai's request, as it was not unreasonable at all.
Xiao Jing'an also made his promise: "Consort Shen, rest assured, I know the Shen family's loyalty. Duke Shen is a meritorious official of the Dayong Dynasty, and we still need to rely on him for the border defense. Even if Duke Shen returns to the capital later, I will treat him with courtesy."
Afterwards, the three formed an alliance regarding cooperation.
Su Jinyue then recounted her plans with Xiao Jing'an for the period of time that followed.
Su Jinyue had previously redeemed some high-yield seeds from the Taobao system, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.
Some time ago, it was secretly cultivated at the Imperial Estate on the outskirts of Beijing, but since it is currently winter, it can only be planted in small quantities in a greenhouse.
Right now, we're just letting farmers accumulate some experience; large-scale planting will begin in the spring.
A few years later, once these crops became widespread in the Dayong Dynasty, there would be no more people starving to death.
Now, a century after the establishment of the Great Yong Dynasty, although the royal family has experienced some turmoil, the political situation among the people is relatively stable, taxes are not too heavy, and farmers are relatively prosperous.
However, in some places, people still starve to death when disasters such as drought and floods occur.
Once these high-yield crops become widespread, farmers' situation should improve significantly.
While it's wishful thinking to have refined grains and white flour at every meal, it's still possible to avoid going hungry.
First, we must solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, and only then can we develop industry and the economy, gradually allowing the Great Yong Dynasty to develop.
Shen Qiubai listened to Su Jinyue's step-by-step plan and became somewhat interested.
This is similar to some modern single-player games, where players take steps to revitalize a dilapidated and backward city.
Although the Dayong Dynasty is a real dynasty and cannot be used for fun, it is indeed not a difficult task for the two people who have knowledge of five thousand years of civilization and history.
Moreover, they only provide ideas and techniques, and with Xiao Jing'an, an ancient figure and the highest decision-maker of the Dayong Dynasty, coordinating and arranging everything, they have nothing to worry about.
Shen Qiubai has his own space. Although it's not like Su Jinyue's space, which is a space for planting, Shen Qiubai's space is still quite large.
Moreover, Shen Qiubai brought over all the post-apocalyptic items he had placed inside, including a considerable amount of post-apocalyptic technology and books.
She didn't keep anything to herself, and besides, these things were really useless to her, so she might as well take them out and let Su Jinyue and Xiao Jing'an try them out. Maybe they could actually make something out of it.
Su Jinyue and Shen Qiubai are both modern people with the same ideals, and they are both people with strong likes and dislikes, so the more they talked, the more they clicked.
Xiao Jing'an listened from the side. Although he sometimes couldn't understand what they were saying, he knew that Su Jinyue was very happy to have Shen Qiubai as a friend.
Xiao Jing'an still remembered what Su Jinyue had said before: those mission takers who came with systems would not only plunder the fortune of the Great Yong Dynasty, but would even destroy the world.
