Chapter 530: Chapter 530 The Terrible Aspect of Small Characters (2)_1

Chu Suifeng was thrilled that Lin Ziyin always considered his needs.

Straw could indeed feed horses after it has been processed, although horses might not like it much.

Thinking of the vast swathes of straw and corn stalks in the fields, Chu Suifeng felt emboldened. From now on, the Northern Land no longer needed to rely on the Imperial Court, allowing him to fight unimpeded.

"I will buy the grain harvested in the manor at market price, decide how much you need to keep," Chu Suifeng said with a smile.

"We need a batch for seeds. After a year, our wasteland reclamation has been quite successful, and the reclaimed land has scaled up. Next year, with more people following suit, we’ll need more high-quality seeds. We also need to stock up on food in our manor," Lin Ziyin responded.

With the Imperial Court cutting off grain supplies to the Northern Land, if war breaks out on the border, the hardest time might be from winter to autumn next year. There are now numerous people in the manor, including over a thousand slaves and villagers. Their annual food consumption is substantial.

"You decide," replied Chu Suifeng nonchalantly.

The military’s grain supply was already sorted. Lin Ziyin’s approach was particularly effective. The traders who brought goods into Northern Land had already prepared a large batch of grain. Along with the reserves in the market’s grain shop, and the locals of Northern Land growing their sorghum and soybeans, they had enough to last a year.

As long as no civil unrest occurs in the Northern Land, Chu Suifeng won’t worry even if war breaks out. The preparations made over the past year have given him ample confidence.

He looked at Lin Ziyin gently, his confidence was entirely due to her.

From his adulthood, he was never content being controlled by the Great Qin Dynasty, but despite some efforts, even Situ Gong and others could not make the leap. Even though the Northern Land could briefly stockpile food, it could not last long.

But now it’s different; the successful cultivation of rice, spring wheat, corn, coupled with a series of soybean-derived goods, have boosted Chu Suifeng’s morale. There’s no fear of running out of resources!

With that thought, he swung out of bed, walked over to Lin Ziyin, held her in his arms, and gave her forehead a soft kiss, "Ziyin, thank you."

His hug was so tight that Lin Ziyin felt her waist was almost strangled.

Does he know how to hug? Lin Ziyin thought dismally.

"If a war really breaks out, I’d like to go to Border City to have a look," Lin Ziyin said.

"No," Chu Suifeng rejected sharply.

Lin Ziyin was important to him, and if war broke out in Border City, it would inevitably be dangerous. He wouldn’t allow the woman he loves to be in danger.

"I’m just wanting to have a look, not to fight on the battlefield," said Lin Ziyin. She was worried about something that might not happen. Even though she had told Chu Suifeng how to decipher the Fire Bull Formation, she was unsure. Her knowledge of strategy and tactics was at best superficial, gathered from conversations with friends in the modern era or from watching military drills.

The modern warfare methods are, after all, too different from ancient ones.

Lin Ziyin was afraid that her strategy would fail and harm the soldiers of the Northern Land. She couldn’t rest easy without seeing the operation to break the formation in person.

"I will be safe with Hong Ying, Lun Luo, and Jue Ming around," Lin Ziyin tried to persuade him again.

"No." Chu Suifeng held her tighter and continued refusing. He knew very well that Lin Ziyin was worried for him, but as a man, he had his own pride.
