Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Daqi’s firm stance temporarily caused the nomadic tribes of the grassland to lie low, but Yang Wenxiao knew that these people were naturally wild at heart, and their submissiveness was only temporary; they would not truly and completely submit to Daqi. The moment Daqi showed even a slight sign of weakness, they would surely grab their broadswords, mount their warhorses, and surge forth once again.

Over the years, Yang Wenxiao had also carefully considered the reasons for this. On one hand, the grassland nomads were innately belligerent, and on the other hand, it had to do with their mode of production and way of life.

They herded cattle and sheep, living a nomadic life following water and grass and did not grow their food, relying entirely on the whims of nature, leaving them poorly equipped to resist natural disasters.

Should any disaster strike, if they found themselves short of food and clothing, they would come and rob the commoners of the Central Plains.

So it could be said that the border incursions by the grassland nomads were more often than not a result of their own hardships; they lacked food and clothing and were forced to plunder.

Now, if the nomads could be enriched through wool, then perhaps this situation could be improved.

Wool could be woven, and by buying wool from the grassland nomads, Daqi could provide them with a stable source of income. As long as there was a steady income, who would want to go to war and shed blood?

Even if warmongers intentionally stirred up conflict, Daqi could simply cut off the wool trade.

Daqi was not in dire need of the wool; it had many other trades to engage in. But the nomads were different. Once they had tasted the sweetness of steady business and had it cut off after getting used to it, there would be no need for Daqi to send troops, as the nomads would start falling into disarray from within.

So it should be noted that though wool appears light and inconspicuous, if utilized properly, it could stabilize the major hidden danger posed by the grassland tribes.

Yang Wenxiao gave this matter great importance, a very great importance indeed.
