"So!" Ye Xingguang stated with utter seriousness, "I must leverage this relationship all the more to secure the greatest benefits for our empire! For instance, in terms of food,
various fresh vegetables, fruits, and meat products from the land are all things our empire lacks, while our empire possesses a boundless seafood market. Why not export to the nations on land? Not to earn money when you can would be idiotic!"
"For example, in terms of technology, our empire's tech is streets ahead of all those on land across all levels. Why not introduce them to our nation's new technologies, becoming a tech superpower that everyone on land envies yet fears? Technology is the most lucrative after all, isn't living just about chasing fame and profit?"
Ye Xingguang's words were excessively blunt, causing several elders to glance at her disapprovingly.
Pretend! Just keep on pretending!
