Chapter 1659 - 1658: Signing the Contract
Twenty years—this was the deadline Yang Wenxiao set after much deliberation.
Although he was aging day by day, living another ten years wouldn’t be an issue.
What about after ten more years?
By then, Yang Hao would be the Emperor of Daqi. Yang Hao’s abilities were impeccable, but his personality was too soft. He lacked the commanding aura needed, and if faced with a critical situation, he might falter and hesitate.
Meanwhile, Yang Zheng would be in his early twenties, about the same age Yang Ye is now.
Yang Zheng’s potential development by then was an unknown variable, but with a ten-year contract still in place, it would at least secure another decade for Daqi.
Twenty years later, Yang Zheng would be middle-aged. By then, he should have grown into the ideal successor Yang Wenxiao envisioned, right?
Gina’s father had no idea about Yang Wenxiao’s thoughts. He flipped through the contract and saw that he could manage the wool trade volume, and more importantly, among the items to be exchanged were salt and iron tools, which immediately caught his eye.
Salt was essential for survival, but for the people of the Grassland who moved with the water and pastures, their salt supply was unstable, and life was always tight.
Iron tools were even rarer, and the Grassland’s ironworking skills were far inferior to those of Daqi.
Now Yang Wenxiao offered to exchange salt and iron tools for wool, even though the quantities weren’t large, it was still progress compared to before.
Wool, once considered useless, now could be traded for salt, iron tools, and other valuable items. It was turning waste into treasure!
