Race to the
Throne
Chapter 25: Nope
What did Hao Jiazhi found that made him change his plan?
Saffron, the world's most expensive spice
Hao Jiazhi, not even his wildest dream he ever thought that he will see saffron in this world and that too in a place where he never imagined it would be
And right now there are hundreds of saffron flowers in front of him as if all these flowers are saying "COME AND PICK ME NOW!!!"
Hao Jiazhi wasted no more time and went straight to Hao Tai's house
"Big Sister, I need to have talked with you right now" Hao Jiazhi said as he enters Hao Tai's room
But he changed his mind immediately and came outside
"I'll wait in the guest room" Hao Jiazhi said and went straight towards the Guest room
Inside Hao Tai's room-
"Such a lecherous man, he doesn't even know the manners of visiting a girls room" Pan Bo said in her angry tone as she held a beautiful dress
Beside her is Hao Tai half naked on her bed
She giggled a bit and said "it's ok, he is my brother so he can drop some formalities. Seems like he has something urgent to talk about"
After some time-
Hao Tai came to the guest room with Pan Bo (she is pulling the wheelchair)
"What's the matter?" Hao Tai asked Hao Jiazhi
With a smile, Hao Jiazhi came near Hao Tai and gets down on his knees to have a talk with her face to face
He said "I can help you in this situation but I have a condition"
Hearing that this whole war-like situation can be resolved, Hao Jiazhi became all happy and said that she will agree with all of his condition
This is good but still, Hao Jaizhi told her that in return for helping her, he would need land near the border area under his control.
Something Hao Jiazhi never did in his past life as he made sure to make people accept his deal without letting them know the condition, but here he told Hao Tai about the condition.
It seems like he has a soft spot for her, or is it just a pity
She will be the main head but all the power and work done on that land will be controlled by him
To Hao Tai, that land is nothing big as it's only barren land in her eyes, so she said yes.
And so Hao Jiazhi made his plan to solve this whole problem and how he will implement his Plan B
What is Plan B?
After taking control over his own Province, Hao Jiazhi wanted to take another province also and the first province he wanted to take is his big sister's province Kuwon
To others, Province Kuwon is just a barren plain land but to Hao Jiazhi; it is the biggest province that would be the future backbone of the whole kingdom
The land may not be fertile but if somehow, irrigation is done on regular bases and also manure used properly
Then the whole province could generate enough food for the whole kingdom that it can literally monopolies the whole kingdom's food on every table
It is a long process, according to Hao Jiazhi's calculation it will take around 2-4 years time to fully upgrade the whole province and a good amount of money will be also nodded
And this is Plan B
He wanted to first control his own province first then move on to the next but now that situation is grim, he has to begin his Plan B as he doesn't want his most expensive item to break or get burned in this war
But the situation is not that mild as Hao Jiazhi thought, its fucking much worse than he had imagined
Tengyuan Kingdom is like a golden parrot in a cage
Golden Parrot because this kingdom is full of natural resources like gold, soil fertility, water source, etc-etc
In Cage, because this kingdom is surrounded by 3 big kingdoms and they all want a piece of it
But, because each one is a superpower on its own, they won't share it. So all of them made a neutral pact with the Tengyuan Kingdom
They all only care about lands that have some resource, not the barren land so they don't care about Province Kuwon
And because Tengyuan Kingdom's is not so strong to face these big kingdoms, the emperor will avert his eyes away as he is not losing some big thing here
In the end, no one will help him, including his own mother.
Song Xia is rich but only in this kingdom, not one other kingdom, so her powers are limited
This made Hao Jiazhi full of worry as there is no way he can let his chance to become a billionaire go away in front of his eyes
So what to do now?
Hao Jiazhi himself knows that if he, as a prince, attacks the enemy army then for sure the whole kingdom will face a big trouble
He doesn't care about the people or kingdom but still, this kingdom is his money bag. So there is no way he can let situations go worst for his money bag
Hao Jiazhi kept on thinking as he moves around in his bedroom (guest room, night time)
"Let's call them" Hao Jiazhi said as he gets out of his room to the stable where his chariot is.
He goes inside the chariot and takes a birdcage out, and inside that birdcage is an eagle
He takes the eagle out and ties a letter on the leg of the eagle, and then he said "Be fast" as he sends the eagle away
A few days later-
The enemy is taking his own time as they are moving very slowly and slowly towards the border of Kuwon, as if they know it is their win
As the day passes by, the enemy came closer and closer. And now they are just in front of the border.
The battle will take place tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
Right now Hao Jiazhi is standing under trees, its morning time, and looking at the sky
From somewhere came a voice of an eagle and then an eagle appeared that came straight towards Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi has also sent a letter to Han Yachun with his crow, so right now he doesn't have his crow
The eagle came and sat on the shoulder of Hao Jiazhi
It had a letter tied to one of his legs
Hao Jiazhi took the letter out and gave a smile as he read what's inside it
He then took a letter out of his pocket and then tied his letter to the eagle, then sends it away one more time
"Prince Hao Jiazhi, Princess Hao Tai has called you for lunch" A servant said to Hao Jiazhi
Hao Jiazhi nodded and went inside the dining hall with her
While eating food, Hao Tai asked "Were you able to get any help?"
Hao Jiazhi smiled and said "Nope"
His smile clearly told Hao Tai that everything is done and he just don't want to expose thing, after all, if he really didn't find any help then why would he even smile
