Chapter 373 Making trouble in secret
The Southern Kingdom's envoys would only receive the news of the Southern Princess's capture faster than the First County Lord, so the First County Lord's men came to nothing, "My Lady, the Southern Kingdom's envoys have returned."
A county lady's face changed. "What do you mean, please explain clearly. What do you mean by returning to the country? You don't care about the four princesses anymore?"
The subordinate waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, the Southern Kingdom's envoy had already met with the Fourth Princess, but the Fourth Princess refused to let her go. She also asked the Southern Kingdom's envoy to bring back the news and enough chips to redeem the Fourth Princess of the Southern Kingdom. She had three days, otherwise~"
The subordinate made a "Ga" sound and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
A county lady trembled with fear, "Is the Fourth Princess crazy?!"
On second thought, wouldn't it be better if the Fourth Princess of the South died? Let the Southern Kingdom's army come and eliminate Jiang Changle for him. As for ceding territory and paying compensation, that was the Eastern Kingdom's business. At least he could shirk responsibility with that, right?
"Alas, I can't do anything about it. The Fourth Princess doesn't want to see me either. Let's go back." The county lady said helplessly, but her eyes were very deep. She turned around and hurried back.
As soon as they left, someone came to report to Jiang Changle, "Princess, they're gone."
"Okay, let's go too." Jiang Changle was finishing the last stroke of his plan. "Give the things to He Shoufu and tell him we're going to the South China Sea."
"Yes." Mu Yi took the information and news to the treatment site next door, and quickly came out to meet Jiang Changle and Mu Er at the door.
"Master, do you think the county lady would really rob and kill the Southern Kingdom's envoys?" Mu Yi didn't believe that the county lady would be so bold.
"Only if the Southern Kingdom's envoys die will the news not reach the Southern Kingdom. If we don't get the ransom, we'll kill the Fourth Southern Princess. Afterwards, the two countries will go to war, and a county lady will even try to take advantage of the chaos to eliminate us."
Mu Er had been with Jiang Changle for a long time, and had a certain tacit understanding with his master. "Then, master, are we going to rescue the envoy from the Southern Kingdom?"
Jiang Changle covered his face with his cloak. After no one recognized the three of them, they jumped on their horses and said, "Not necessarily. We'll see what happens."
The envoys from the Southern Kingdom are not necessarily that weak, and Jiang Changle said that there is not only one Princess Nan Si in the Southern Kingdom. There are one, two, three and many more in the future. In fact, the Southerners are the best at giving birth.
However, in recent years, they have been exposed to more magical black and red rubies, which has caused their fertility to decline again and again.
Jiang Changle was not in a hurry, so he took the opportunity to stroll around the county. In addition to the jewelry business, he thought about what other workshops would be suitable to build?
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. Along the coast, people fish and there are also seaweed. The key is that there are no better boats to go out to sea, and the fishing nets are also average. The most common fishing tool for sea dwellers is still the fork.
With such backwardness, the amount of fish caught will definitely not increase. "Once things calm down, we will build ships. Fishing boats converted from warships will guarantee the safety of fishermen to a certain extent."
"The people of that county will be blessed." Mu Yi firmly believed that her master always did what he said. It was just shipbuilding, which was not difficult for her.
"You are wrong. Master means that all coastal warships will come from the Nanhai County, right, Master?"
Jiang Changle chuckled confidently, "Yes, the time, the place, and the people are all right. See those dark hills over there? I'm sure they're all iron ore."
"Hahaha, if the master says so, then it must be so. I also heard from the townspeople that there are hot springs in many places in the county. Where there are hot springs, there is sulfur. Adding saltpeter can make gunpowder. The warships made by the Jiang family must have gunpowder.
This way, while coastal fishermen can fish, they can also protect the East Kingdom’s sea borders, killing two birds with one stone.”
"Okay, Mu Er, you're ready to go. When the four countries are stable, you can find a place you like and rule it."
Jiang Changle was very relieved. She finally didn't have to fight alone anymore. No matter what she did, she had her subordinates to help her.
"I don't want that. I want to stay with my master for the rest of my life, because my master has space. This is the greatest opportunity."
"Me too. Granny Mu looks almost younger than us now~" Mu Yi also wanted to achieve immortality.
"Okay, let's live our lives however we want. There's so much space, and with you all by our side, we won't be alone. It will be more fun and more powerful."
"Here we are, Master."
"That's the Southern Kingdom's envoys. The county lady is quite quick. The two sides have already started fighting."
Everything is as Jiang Changle expected~
