Chapter 380: Big Tiger
When he couldn't make any decisions, Yu Shaoxi had no choice but to retreat from the dynasty first, planning to go back to the imperial study to ponder it carefully, and then go back to Lin Tianqing and Situ Wuji to talk in detail. Before leaving, he glared at Situ Xiaofeng fiercely, and then brushed his sleeves away.
At the moment when Yu Shaoxi had a headache, Lin Yu was taking Lin Chen and Zhou Weida to gallop on the vast prairie, and the small life was extremely comfortable.
Since a few days ago, the steppe tribes carried out one of the fiercest assaults, only to be easily defeated by them, the other side seemed to be completely defeated, and no more troops were sent to attack.
There was no battle to fight, and Lin Yu and the others were also happy to be idle, wandering around between several towns such as Hexige and Isuda, taking the opportunity to enjoy the leisurely time between the wars.
Since the cities and lands captured by these few cities did not border the Great Xia Empire, Lin Yu pondered that Yu Shaoxi couldn't reach out to him to ask for it, and even if he did, he couldn't manage it across borders. So he had already calculated in his heart, and he was ready to wait for the end of the war, and he would give it all to his little Yinyue, which would be regarded as a congratulatory gift to Yinyue's official enthronement.
When he was bored, Lin Yu simply tried to breed war horses, cattle and sheep in batches on the grassland based on the experience of those farms he had seen on the earth before, and he was a great success in one fell swoop.
After that, he made persistent efforts to develop a variety of gourmet materials that were not available in the grassland, such as milk powder, yogurt, milk tea, beef jerky, etc.
The residents of these towns were still resistant when Lin Yu's army had just captured them. As a result, after a period of time, Lin Yu's army never committed any crimes, but his own army would plunder after the occupation. Gradually, the scales in their hearts tilted in the direction of Lin Yu.
After Lin Yu popularized the breeding methods of war horses, cattle and sheep, and made those delicious and fun things, the trust of the people in the town reached its peak. Unconsciously, they had become accustomed to the rule of Lin Yu's army, and their original resistance and fear had dissipated, and they gradually returned to their normal lives.

The Great Xia Empire, in the imperial capital palace.
After returning to the imperial study, the more Yu Shaoxi thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he felt very uncomfortable no matter what, so he immediately sent someone to send Old Man Lin and Situ Wuji over, wanting to ask their opinions.
At this time, these two people had already rushed to the imperial study, and they all stood in front of Yu Shaoxi.
"Old General Lin, the younger generation of your Lin family is really full of talents! Boss Lin Hai won the first place in the martial arts of the Benyun Horse Club and became the head of the Shenwei Battalion. The second Lin Yu only led a mere 100,000 soldiers, and he was able to capture most of the grasslands, I really should congratulate you on giving birth to such two good grandchildren!"
"Your Majesty has won the award, if it weren't for you giving Lin Yu the opportunity to go on this expedition, I'm afraid he would still be just an idle man in the imperial capital, and he wouldn't have done much at all. Old Man Lin couldn't figure out the meaning of Yu Shaoxi's words for a while, so he could only attribute the credit to Yu Shaoxi as usual.
"Hehe, maybe!" Yu Shaoxi replied undeniably.
He once sent someone to privately investigate Lin Yu's current property, and found that whether it was the Zijin Garden on Dijin Street or the chain of Yuji convenience stores, every day with the proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets, there could be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!
If you add the regular income from casinos and grocery retail, I'm afraid that Lin Yu's annual income will be several times more than the annual tax income of the Great Xia Empire!
If that's all it takes, that's it, but Lin Yu went out to conquer the grassland tribes this time, and he actually beat them directly! This battle exploit is already extremely outstanding in Great Xia, and he was also canonized as the king of the Ximu Empire with a different surname, and at this moment, Yu Shaoxi had to worry from the bottom of his heart.
People always say that a companion is like a tiger, but Yu Shaoxi feels that Lin Yu is a big tiger that is thriving, and if he is not careful, he is likely to be "swallowed" by him. Originally, he planned to cultivate the people of the Situ family to suppress the Lin family, but now it seems that it is the Situ family that is being suppressed!
"That's it, don't talk about these useless things, let's talk about business!" Yu Shaoxi shook his head and put away his thoughts, since he can't solve these things at the moment, let's put them aside for now!
At least he clearly knew that Old Man Lin had always been loyal to him, so even if Lin Yu had any intentions, Old Man Lin would stop him, and he was still very relieved.
In addition, he felt that Lin Yu was more than brave and less ambitious, so he didn't have to worry too much about what he would do that crossed the line.
"What do you have your own opinions on the fact that the grassland tribes came to sue for peace, and the conditions put forward by the envoys?" Yu Shaoxi repeated the conditions of the envoys, and then looked at the two people in front of him, waiting for them to give an answer.
"Returning to Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that our Great Xia Empire has finally won the other party in the war, and we really shouldn't let them go so easily. You can ask the steppe king to come up with more silver taels and war horses as compensation, and then decide whether to return the city and land to them according to the situation. Situ Wuji smiled evilly and said incomparably chicken thief.
He felt that the city and land were worth more than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and thousands of war horses. Now that the initiative is in their hands, it is up to them to decide. Even if the other party agrees to give several times more compensation, it depends on whether His Majesty the Emperor is in a good mood or not, and then consider whether to return it.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a different opinion, those cities and lands captured by Lin Yu are on the other side of the grassland, the place is really a bit remote, and it does not border the Great Xia Empire, I am afraid it will be very troublesome to manage. "Old Man Lin's analysis of the matter is quite thorough, and he pointed out the drawbacks at once.
Old Man Lin continued: "Weichen thinks that you might as well accept those compensations and return those city lands to the grassland tribes." On the one hand, it can be a favor, and on the other hand, it also saves the trouble of assigning manpower and material resources to manage in the future. ”
"I said General Lin, your grandson spent so much effort and consumed so many resources and silver taels of His Majesty to finally capture a few cities of the grassland tribe, are those things only worth 200,000 taels of silver?" Situ Wuji said disdainfully
