The combination of the two can significantly reduce the mortality rate.
Aino clutched the life guide, her mind completely blank; the knowledge and principles behind it were truly beyond her comprehension.
I just feel that Lord Yalin knows so much; he truly deserves to be called an incarnation of a god. Moreover, he doesn't have much of the airs of a daimyo, and he puts so much thought into the well-being of the people of the Land of Forest.
It is the ancestral capital's good fortune to encounter such a great name.
"I will definitely complete your mission."
Aino said firmly, but felt a little guilty afterward. She had only been an ordinary maid before. Could she live up to Lord Arin's expectations?
"Since I chose you to carry out this mission, I naturally trust you. Don't be nervous, you can do it." Yalin has always been someone who trusts those he employs and doesn't use those he doesn't trust, and besides, no one can play tricks on him.
For Yalin, this was just the beginning. He would wait until his basic livelihood was secured and people were no longer starving.
He then launched a knowledge popularization campaign that was in line with the current era, selecting suitable talents to conduct more in-depth teaching.
Blindly applying the textbook is not advisable; it must be combined with practical considerations. As for the basic content of the textbook, he has already organized it in his mind.
After Aino left, Yalin shook his slightly numb right hand.
"It's really tiring. Compared to other versions of myself, I'm destined to be a workaholic." His name is much more arduous than the fat man's name in that other country.
But there was no way around it; as the king of the Forest Kingdom, this was his duty. In that respect, Yalin was quite responsible.
"The main problem in the Forest Kingdom right now is food shortage, but the land in this world is quite fertile, perhaps because of natural energy."
"Without the disturbances of war, this time we should be able to have a good harvest."
Once a war breaks out between nations, the civilians are the most affected. Forget about farming in peace; sometimes, even saving their lives is a luxury.
Of course, now that the Kingdom of Lin has Yalin, no one would be foolish enough to start a war.
......
After dealing with the trivial matters of the Ancestral Capital and his daily cultivation, Yalin looked out the window.
Even from a great distance, the towering sacred tree still inspires awe.
"Kaguya Otsutsuki!"
Yalin muttered something to himself before leaving Daming Prefecture and heading towards the Divine Tree.
Now that we've decided to win over Kaguya, we can't give up halfway.
He came to the mountaintop surrounding the sacred tree, sat down, and silently gazed at the towering tree.
His Demon King talent allowed him to sense the emotions of doubt and surprise emanating from the center of the Divine Tree.
"Lord Kaguya, please forgive my unauthorized arrival. I apologize if I have disturbed you." Yalin was the first to apologize.
You can't hit someone who's smiling at you; even Kaguya wouldn't kill him immediately.
"But as the daimyo of the Forest Country, I have many things to say that I must keep to myself and cannot tell others, which makes me very sad." Yalin sighed, looking melancholy.
"Therefore, I have come here to express my feelings. If I have disturbed Lady Kaguya's peace, I will leave immediately," Yalin said sincerely. If Kaguya showed even the slightest impatience, he would definitely keep his word.
What if it gets criticized?
The sacred tree did not respond, clearly tacitly approving of his actions.
After feeding Isshiki to the Ten-Tails, Kaguya stayed there alone for a long time, fearing that the Otsutsuki clan would discover her betrayal and send people to hunt her down.
As these uneasy times continued to pass, Kaguya occasionally... felt a little lonely.
Therefore, I often take walks in the bamboo forest at night, gazing at the starry sky with a sense of confusion, not knowing what to do next.
Should they flee or... gather their strength to fight the approaching Otsutsuki?
Now that a daring native has arrived, and he's the only one she doesn't dislike, he can at least relieve her boredom and ease her mood.
Seeing this, Yalin smiled and began to talk about the troubles and worries of being a daimyo, but he turned to talking about interesting things he usually encountered halfway through his story.
His tone was melodious and highly infectious.
Throughout this process, he constantly sensed Kaguya's emotions and used this information to adjust the topic of conversation.
Perhaps because she hadn't interacted with anyone for so long, Kaguya didn't show any impatience, and occasionally even seemed a little lost in thought.
Even for the weak natives of this planet, life seems to have some fun and flavor.
As the guardian of the sacred tree, she could only sit there in vain every day, waiting for punishment to come.
How ironic!
Kaguya closed her eyes, but did not stop the other person from continuing.
As dawn broke, Yalin rose, his face full of gratitude, and said, "Thank you for listening, Kaguya-sama. I feel so much better to be able to say what I've been holding in for so long."
After saying this, he bowed to the sacred tree, turned around, and strode away.
Kaguya watched this scene silently, without uttering a sound.
......
After returning to the ancestral capital, Daimyofu, Yalin reviewed the events of the previous night.
Perhaps due to her innate talent, Kaguya Otsutsuki was not bothered by his disturbances, which was key to winning him over.
Besides, she was all alone on the sacred tree, with no one to talk to, truly a lonely person.
Even for aliens, loneliness is an insurmountable enemy.
Otherwise, Yalin's plan would have had no chance of succeeding.
He reflected on his own performance last night and Kaguya's emotions, analyzing them accordingly.
Princess Kaguya remained silent last night, yet Yarin could sense from her emotions her longing for peace and happiness, as well as her fear of betrayal.
Therefore, the following topics and stories can be developed from this perspective.
By the way, one can also make use of their musical talent; pleasant music can easily improve one's mood.
While we don't know if it will work on aliens, it's better to be safe than sorry. We can try it out once we've gotten to know it better...
With his thoughts racing, Yalin devised Kaguya-hime's Conquest Plan 1.0.
Book 1: Chapter 23: Development and Smile
In the blink of an eye, six months have passed since I first met Kaguya.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sat in the center of the Divine Tree, listening to the melodious flute music coming from the mountaintop in front of the Divine Tree, her mood somewhat complicated.
There was neither joy nor anticipation, nor anger or impatience.
This young daimyo from the Land of Forests visits the vicinity of the Divine Tree approximately every three days. Each visit has a different reason, and they all seem quite reasonable.
Once they arrived, they didn't just sit there. They either confided their daily troubles and worries to the sacred tree, or told Kaguya stories that she found interesting.
She sometimes thinks that, putting aside everything else, the natives of this planet certainly deserve a second glance when it comes to their creative talents.
Even so, Kaguya Otsutsuki never spoke to the other party during these six months.
She didn't know what Yalin's purpose was in approaching her, and she never asked.
There's no need for that. If she were to speak up first, wouldn't it make it seem like she cares about this native?
Even if the other party was indeed slightly different, a special individual, Kaguya was unwilling to have too much contact with this planet destined to lose its vitality.
Even though Yalin was unaware of this, her position was completely different from the other party's, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them enemies.
With this thought in mind, she suppressed even the strange feeling in her heart, waiting for Yalin to realize that doing so was meaningless and leave on his own.
Compared to the long lifespan of the Otsutsuki clan, the lifespan of a mortal is far too short, barely a hundred years, and it is impossible to waste time here.
That was Kaguya's initial thought.
To her surprise, Yalin was so persistent, persisting for months without changing his attitude in the slightest.
This persistence left Kaguya somewhat bewildered.
Could it be that this divine tree possesses some special ability that she is unaware of, which enabled Yalin to achieve this level?
It should be noted that she occasionally observed the situation in the capital city when she had nothing else to do.
As a daimyo, Yalin is extremely busy, handling a large number of affairs every day.
This can be seen from the rapid changes taking place in the ancestral capital.
The once dilapidated and cramped city has been completely transformed, with plans to expand it tenfold to create a top-tier capital city capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people.
The materials used for the city wall were not wood, but stone and cement, and it was planned to be a rubble wall.
At first, Kaguya Otsutsuki was puzzled. What kind of mud is cement?
This mystery was only roughly solved after Yalin used a bomb made of black powder to blast a mountain, exposing a large amount of grayish-white stones, and explained to the people around him that these were limestone, one of the raw materials for cement.
However, Yalin was troubled by the fact that the flame temperature was not up to standard, and said strange things like whether to catch a few Onmyoji to start the fire.
Kaguya pondered this for a moment, then captured a winged fire-breathing lizard from a deep forest a thousand miles away, maimed it, and dumped it near the capital of the Ancestral Kingdom.
Don't get me wrong, she wasn't concerned about Yalin's troubles as a native.
The other party had simply told her the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, and this was a casual reward.
Although this lizard is extremely weak, the temperature of the flames it breathes is sufficient to meet the requirements.
As Kaguya had predicted, the problem of cement production was successfully solved.
Yalin even used the flames of lizards to research other strange things.
Under his command, the entire capital of the Ancestral Kingdom and even the Kingdom of Forest were mobilized, and people's original rhythm and way of life were completely changed.
New and strange things are constantly being developed, some of which even make Kaguya take notice.
Occasionally, she would feel a surge of emotion, amazed by Yalin's ingenious ideas.
His behavior was worlds apart from that of ordinary natives.
As for the rumor of a divine incarnation, Kaguya didn't believe it at all. Those weaklings might have some strength, but they couldn't possibly create such things.
......
Kaguya knew that with so many things to handle, Arin was so busy that he had almost no free time.
He was deeply trusted by many natives, who wore stern smiles on their faces.
