Chapter 212.2
Although he was extremely tired, the Great Luo Emperor felt a hint of excitement in his heart.
You see, while this was a great challenge, it was also a tremendous opportunity!
If he could safely get through the harsh winter while other nations did not, the gap between the countries would widen. He could take the opportunity to expand his territory and realize the grand ambitions of creating his empire.
In fact, many nations in the past had grown stronger through natural disasters, and he believed he could do the same.
This was the advantage of being chosen by the Taoist Sect!
With the Taoist Sects elders and sages, they could help him attract fortune and avoid disaster, turn bad luck into good luck, and bring auspiciousness in times of trouble!
One step ahead, always leading, and always holding the advantage!
At this moment, he couldnt help but fantasize.
When this winter was over, could he launch an attack on a neighboring kingdom?
Maybe theres no need to fight; they might just surrender on their own, haha
Just then, the Minister of Revenue arrived to report on the preparations for the cold-weather supplies.
The Great Luo Emperor listened and was somewhat dissatisfied, Too little, prepare more, the more the better, at least double it!
The Minister of Revenue was stunned, Too little? But Your Majesty, this is already the limit. Our Great Luo doesnt have that many supplies!
No? Then go buy it!
Great Luo Emperor commanded, No matter the cost, we must purchase it, the more the better! If you fail to handle this, you can say goodbye to your official hat!
Yes, yes, yes Your Majesty!
The Minister of Revenue from the Ministry of Revenue ran off in a fluster.
After he left, he immediately mobilized the resources of the various noble families to gather cold-weather supplies.
Although the noble families had plenty of resources, those were scattered all over the world and would take a long time to transport, and what Great Luo lacked most right now was time.
Thus, they had no choice but to turn to the neighboring Great Xia Dynasty.
Inside the Great Xia imperial palace.
Lin Beifan looked at the state letter presented by Great Luo with a strange expression, Why does Great Luo need so many cold-weather supplies? Could it be that they already know that a harsh winter is coming?
The Great Luo Emperor and his civil and military officials probably didnt have the ability to predict this, but they had the support of the Taoist Sect behind them!
A top-tier power with thousands of years of heritage, having some special means wouldnt be surprising!
Lin Beifan narrowed his eyes.
What is this?
A fat sheep delivered right to his door!
In return, Great Luo shipped over the gold, silver, copper, iron, and other materials that Great Xia needed.
The cooperation between the two was very pleasant.
To thank Great Xia for its assistance, the Emperor of Great Luo specially prepared a grand gift for Lin Beifan.
Believing in reciprocity, Lin Beifan sent back a jade pillow, wishing him good sleep.
At this time, the peculiar behavior of the two countries, Xia and Luo, caught the attention of many observant people.
What is Great Luo doing? Its just winter, and they need so many cold-weather supplies?
Indeed, they are willing to pay any price, even if it means getting slaughtered by Great Xia!
Only a fool would do such a thing!
But the Emperor of Great Luo is not a fool how else could he have established a Dynasty?
Dont forget, he has the support of the Taoist Sect!
Idiot. Would the Taoist Sect support a fool?
Everyone was not that stupid and quickly deduced the reason behind these actions.
The Emperor of Great Luo was certainly no fool; otherwise, why would the Taoist Sect have chosen him?
Great Luos massive purchase of cold-weather supplies was undoubtedly for keeping warm.
If they were willing to pay any price, it indicated that this winter could be exceptionally cold, or perhaps even
Therefore, they needed to be well-prepared too.
As a result, various countries and noble families began to stockpile cold-weather supplies in preparation for the cold.
This led to a sharp increase in the price of cold-weather goods on the market, which became extremely scarce.
The Emperor of Great Luo watched this unfold with while smirking inwardly: Preparing only now? Its too late! After this natural disaster, the world order will inevitably change! Its time for Great Luo to soar!
He stepped out of the palace and looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, standing with his hands behind his back.
The sky is getting dark, Its time for the wind to rise.
As soon as his words fell, a strong wind began to howl.
Feather-like snowflakes followed, drifting down.
