Global Desertification: I am accumulating merit in another world

At the foot of the majestic and steep Guanai Mountain, there is a quiet and peaceful Qingli Villa.

At this time, the manor was bustling with activity. Envoys from the four countries of Xianzhi, Zhuogo, Nuan and Shijie arrived here one after another and gathered with Fang Haoran in this spacious and magnificent lobby.

They are very different now than they were two months ago.

The arrogant and conceited expressions on their faces had disappeared without a trace, replaced by faces that were either excited, curious, or happy.

What is even more eye-catching is that the clothes worn by everyone have undergone a drastic change - the unique traditional costumes of each ethnic group have been replaced, and instead, they all wear Qingli style styles.

These people wear a wide variety of ornaments, including exquisite jade pendants, dazzling gemstone necklaces, and unique earrings.

The shoes they wear are also varied, some are cloth shoes with fine embroidery, and some are boots made of fine leather.

Without exception, everyone wears the items that they like the most and think are the most fashionable at the moment.

Shen Lishu raised her eyebrows and said, "No one will fall in love with Qingli once they come here."

This peace talk was unprecedentedly grand, with both the left and right prime ministers of the court present in person. And Shen Xingshu took the trouble to rush back from the distant Phoenix City.

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn, and everyone had their own thoughts. Finally, the envoy of the Shijie Kingdom was the first to break the silence. He looked anxious, stood up, bowed to the right prime minister and said:

"Your Excellency, on behalf of our country, I am willing to accept the peace talks. However, there is one thing I hope your country can generously help me with. I wonder if you can teach us your wonderful method of keeping warm in winter?

You may not know that our country is located in a very cold place. Every winter it is freezing cold and the people are suffering terribly!

Every winter, many innocent people are frozen to death because they cannot stand the cold. If we can get this good law, it will be a blessing for our country and the people! "

After saying this, the envoy bowed deeply and looked at the right prime minister expectantly, waiting for the other party's response.

In Qingli, there is a kind of floor heating that can warm up the whole house. There are also various warm and safe fireplaces, and something called "kang", which is very comfortable to sleep on in winter.

Zhou Lihua smiled and agreed, "Of course, we Qingli have always been generous to friendly countries."

As soon as she agreed, the other envoys could no longer hold back and began to make requests, "How did you build that toilet? One that can be flushed?"

"There's also something called a shower, which makes bathing so convenient."

Living in Qingli is so convenient and comfortable!

Even without those aristocratic privileges, it was still a different experience. After two months, they got used to this kind of life.

I wake up every morning, stroll to the street to eat wontons or fried dough sticks, or sit in a teahouse for half a day and listen to a book.

At noon, the sun is high in the sky and the heat is rolling in. If you can buy a popsicle at this time, it would be a wonderful enjoyment! The cool and sweet taste melts on the tip of your tongue, instantly dispelling some of the heat and fatigue.

Then he slowly walked back to the inn, turned on the fan, let the gentle and cool breeze blow over his body, lay down on the couch for a short nap, and fell into a short and comfortable dream.

In the afternoon or at night, there are many interesting activities to choose from.

For example, you can go to a famous local theater or teahouse, sit down and quietly listen to a melodious opera; or go to a bustling theater and watch a wonderful drama performance.

Of course, if you don't want to be so noisy, you can also walk into the nearby park. There are green trees, lush flowers and plants, and the air is fresh and pleasant. Find a cool place to sit down and chat with those leisurely uncles and aunts, share the bits and pieces of each other's lives, and feel the strong human touch.

There is no curfew in Qingli Kingdom. It is always lively and full of the atmosphere of life.

The barbecues at the night market often keep them from walking, and the dazzling array of food is mouth-watering.

That kind of prosperity is unmatched by any other place.

The money was spent too quickly...

These people brought a lot of money when they came, but now their pockets are cleaner than their faces.

Fortunately, Qingliguo provides food and accommodation.

Zhou Lihua listened to them talking one after another with a smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Half an hour later, the envoys were tired and drank some water. Ah, it was afternoon and time for a nap.

Everyone was feeling a little sleepy, and Shen Xingshu smiled and said, "Everyone, is it time to start talking about the alliance?"

"Let's talk." I quickly finished the talk and went back to sleep. I was sleepy.

Shen Xingshu had been in a high position for many years and had long ago developed a keen mind. His narrow eyes were like those of an old fox, and he could confuse the envoys with just a few words.

However, even though the envoys were corrupted by Qingli's sugar-coated bullets, they never forgot their duties.

"A six-party alliance is possible, but it must be based on us!"

"That's impossible. After all, you are a foreign race and your strength is weak."

In this world, the strong are respected. What the hell are you thinking about?

Shen Xingshu almost said this.

Even Xiao Mu disagreed. "My Xiao family army is the orthodox army in the world. How can we be inferior to foreign tribes? Wouldn't that make people all over the world laugh at us?"

"We, Qingli, are also the most powerful country in the world!"

"You fart!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Damn it!"

At first, everyone present was quite reserved. They tried hard to maintain proper demeanor and manners, their words were polite and modest, and their attitudes when communicating with each other were quite friendly.

However, as time passed quietly, the originally peaceful and harmonious atmosphere gradually underwent subtle changes since some time ago.

At first, there were only some minor differences in opinions, but these small contradictions grew like a snowball, eventually causing the peace talks to gradually deviate from their original track.

Gradually, the originally polite conversation unknowingly turned into a fierce argument.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and neither side gave in. Their voices became louder and louder, and their emotions became more and more excited.

The heated argument did not stop there, but escalated further, like a raging fire, and finally turned into a reckless, tit-for-tat verbal battle. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten their identities and images, pouring out the anger and dissatisfaction that had been suppressed for a long time in their hearts, and the scene was once in a state of chaos.

Don't be fooled by Shen Xingshu's smiling face, as if he is calm and composed. His words are enough to piss off several envoys to death.

He is no longer the nobleman who enjoyed a glorious life in the past. He is now a smiling fox prime minister who has been immersed in power. Even in normal times, he has never lost in quarrels with others in the court.

It was only after he became an official that he realized that the political discussions at the court meetings were a competition of who had more momentum, who was more eloquent, and who was better at arguing.

Of course, it would be easier to win with help.

So he is not alone. Zhou Lihua is not good at debating with others, but Shen Qingwan is good at it. She has gained experience over the years and is now the master of a city.

Feng Wu has been the city lord for so many years and has great eloquence.

As for Xiao Mu, he brought Mr. Wen, Yao Muchuan, and his own think tank.

As a result, the envoys' subordinates became insignificant. The old man with a big beard was unable to win the argument and became so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.

He took off his shoes and threw them out, almost hitting Shen Lishu.

She turned her head to avoid the stinky shoe, dumbfounded, "Is this how mom and I talk?"

There's almost a fight going on down there!

Even Mr. Wen, who looked like a sage, took off his hat and threw it at people.

Shen Qingwan, a girl, has amazing fighting power. She never holds back when scolding people. She single-handedly challenges two men - Yao Muchuan and Fang Haoran, and is not at a disadvantage at all.

Zhou Lihua sat at the top, twitching her lips as she looked at the chaos below. "Do you think those ancient sayings about 'a great country that convinces people with reason' are true? They are embellished words. You will know when you go to court yourself."

Shen Lishu shuddered. No! There is no way to go up at all!

Xiao Mu blinked and thought Shen Lishu's expression was funny. "Actually, this is also a way of convincing people with reason, right?"
