Chapter 212 The Arrogant Concubine 30
Later, Shu Jiao opened a shop specializing in selling foreign goods, and business was booming.
The profit is too great!
Shu Jiao felt that she couldn't eat it all by herself, so she simply asked Guo Rongan to go find Emperor Jingzhang.
Emperor Jingzhang heard it.
what?
A piece of low-grade tea can be worth a fortune after crossing the ocean!
Open sea!
Open the sea now!
Trade with me, and send all those junk goods in the country that are not worthy of being sold to those gullible fools overseas!
In fact, Emperor Jingzhang did not ban the sea before.
However, due to various reasons such as lack of technology, fear of the unknown and dangers on the sea, there are maritime merchants but not many.
Therefore, Emperor Jingzhang had no idea that the difference in earnings among maritime merchants was so huge!
Now he knows.
It's impossible not to make some money from this.
Seeing that the money earned from his trips to the sea had filled up his private treasury and even expanded two private treasuries, there was only one word left in Emperor Jingzhang's mind - fight!
You have money, food, people and weapons, what can you use to fight me?
Emperor Jingzhang was ambitious, so he sent several princes out, even the crown prince, and divided his troops into two groups.
All the way north, all the way south.
Fighting on two fronts was not a big burden for Emperor Jingzhang.
At this moment, Shu Jiao asked Guo Rongan to bring him another message.
When seeing Guo Rongan coming in with a smile, Emperor Jingzhang's eyes lit up -
Is this another good news?
"My dear."
Emperor Jingzhang shouted eagerly, "Why did you come to see me today?"
"emperor."
Guo Rongan took out a map from his pocket and said, "Jiaojiao's merchant fleet discovered that there are gold and silver mines on the small island not far from the Maritime Customs Office, and the output is huge."
"Hiss, this..."
Emperor Jingzhang stroked his chin and said, "They sent envoys to pay homage to us just last year."
It definitely won’t work if you hit it directly.
"emperor!"
Guo Rongan's face was heavy. "The people of that country are despicable and shameless. On the surface, they are subservient to our dynasty, but in fact, they pretend to be pirates, killing passing merchants and plundering their money and people."
"And they killed the envoys we sent!"
"Even when the two armies are fighting, they don't kill the envoys. But they killed our envoys so blatantly. It's obvious that they don't take our dynasty seriously. If they don't kill them and show our prestige, how will the other vassal states view it?"
After serving as an official for several years, Guo Rongan now has his own way of speaking.
Emperor Jingzhang suppressed his smile and pretended to be furious, "What? He actually killed my envoy! This is an unforgivable crime. Come, summon Zhang Wenliang and Fan Yu... to the palace immediately!"
The eunuch took the order and moved.
Guo Rongan coughed lightly.
Emperor Jingzhang looked at him, gestured with his fingers, and whispered, "Give Marquis Rang 30% at most."
"The Emperor's Holy Might."
Guo Rongan bowed and smiled.
"The power of the warship is still a little small."
"Your Majesty, rest assured. My colleagues and I at the Ministry of Works have developed a new generation of cannons that can be installed on ships. We have also made some improvements to the warships so that they can accommodate more people and cargo..."
"Well, you are indeed my trusted ministers. And Lord Rang. You two are my lucky stars."
Emperor Jingzhang was never stingy with his praise.
Sometimes, they even say something extremely corny.
Guo Rongan was used to it. He laughed twice and talked about the battle situation on the prince's side.
The battle over there is quite... one-sided.
In an era when cold weapons had not yet reached their peak, firearms suddenly appeared, and they were improved versions of several types of firearms, which directly defeated and swept all the way.
The prince said: I have never fought such a rich war.
Before long, the news of victory reached Beijing.
Northern Xuan territory, +1.
Push forward again and our territory will increase by another +1!
At the same time, the Fourth Prince, who was in charge of the march south and was leading the way, also brought back good news, and thus the territory of Beixuan began to increase at a frequency of “+2”.
What does "you are heading towards the territory" mean?
Since ancient times, that has been "the territory of our dynasty"!
what?
No historical records?
If not... then...
what?
How dare you hurt our soldiers? Beat them!
How dare you send assassins to injure the prince of our dynasty? Beat them!
You actually bullied my little brother who is under my protection. Aren't you showing me no respect? Beat him!
Use reality to illustrate what "weakness is the original sin" means.
Bei Xuan's teacher fights wherever he goes, and always has a legitimate reason.
No matter how ridiculous this "name" is, just tell me if it exists or not?
Naval battles start later than land battles, but end earlier.
As soon as the people from Beixuan Country arrived, they captured the indigenous people and used them as laborers to dig for gold. Since they were not their own family members, they could just replace them if they died in the mining.
With the support of gold and silver mines, Emperor Jingzhang was more confident.
With the logistical support in place, the battlefield ahead will naturally become more and more exciting.
What is Shu Jiao doing?
Shu Jiao followed behind, and before anyone could react, she opened a shop to occupy the market.
She ate most of the soup and shared some with her more adventurous colleague who followed closely behind.
"Jiaojiao, my sweetheart..."
Guo Rongan sat next to her, watching Shu Jiao's fingers leaving afterimages on the abacus, her eyes fixed on the account book, her face full of unhappiness of being ignored.
But I didn't have the guts to really disturb him.
I could only shout a few words in a low voice.
Shu Jiao didn't even raise her head, she just reached out and touched his face twice, "Be good, stop making trouble, I'll be done with it soon."
Her money!
"San'er, why didn't you apply for a thousand square meters of space for me?"
Can't fit.
It really can’t fit.
Shu Jiao looked at warehouse after warehouse of treasures piled up like they were free of charge.
Cups, bowls and vases inlaid with filigree, agarwood tables, chairs and beds inlaid with gold lacquer, jade, shells and gemstones, dreamlike phantom satin, dozens of layers of exquisite balls...
Spices, poisons, and 100-year-old ginseng...
I want to pack them all up and take them away.
Damn, not enough space.
003: ...
"Host sister, don't go too far. One thousand square meters? Do you know how many points are there for one square meter of portable space?"
"How many?"
"one thousand."
Shu Jiao was shocked. "One thousand? In other words, I worked so hard to create a world, but it's only worth one square meter of space?"
"Yes, that's right."
003 said in a rather innocent tone, "It's okay, host sister, you can exchange for four square meters now, are you happy?"
Shu Jiao: There’s no way I can be happy about this.
but……
"Give me two square meters first."
Gold, silver and jewelry come second.
She still had to put some of the newly acquired, strange poisons and various life-saving herbs into the space.
"okay!"
003's voice suddenly became cheerful, "Two thousand points have been deducted, and two square meters of space have been added."
Shu Jiao took a deep breath, and after finishing the last account, her eyes fell on Guo Rongan who had been looking at her.
She crossed her fingers.
Guo Rongan tilted his head and looked at her eagerly, "My dear, are you done with your work?"
"When you're done, the rest of the time is yours."
Shu Jiao smiled with her eyebrows curved, and pinched his cheek with her fingertips, "Husband, have you rested well? My men just got some beautiful gems from overseas, do you want to play with them?"
The meaningful look, with some teasing and impudence, made the experienced Guo Rongan couldn't help but feel slightly hot on his face.
But he still held Shu Jiao's hand and said very frankly: "I want to play."
