Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 451 The "Frustrated" Young Marquis in a World of Female Dominance 05

But later they found that because there were too many men, the government no longer distributed fertility fruits for free, and instead required them to be purchased with silver.

As for the shortage of fertile fruit? It's simple: fair competition, the highest bidder wins.

Furthermore, since the new dynasty advocates "male superiority and female inferiority," why should multiple men share one wife? This law is unreasonable and must be changed!

Polygamy is the way to go!

In this way, men began to compete to buy the fertility fruit, and the government made a lot of money. But soon, the various disadvantages caused by the superiority of men over women became apparent.

Firstly, both the fertility fruit and women were in very small quantities, and these few resources were quickly fought over and divided up by the royal family, nobles, and wealthy merchants.

The lower class people could neither buy fertility fruits nor snatch women, and almost all of them were left without children or grandchildren.

But decades later, the streets are full of old men emitting a foul smell.

Secondly, the Da Qi Kingdom suffered from serious population loss - many men could not bear the life of being single, so they ran to other countries to share a wife with other men.

In the end, the imperial court had no soldiers to recruit and no one to cultivate the fertile fields.

In other words, almost all the cattle and horses died, and the entire country of Daqi collapsed completely.

Therefore, the quick-travel bureau issued a small-world mission, asking Nan Xi to kill the alien Jiang Qiu Shui and prevent the Daqi Kingdom from collapsing.

As for the jade seal in Nan Xi's hand.

That was after Wei Shimu became the queen. One day, when she was bored and playing, she accidentally cut her finger. She found that what came out of her finger was not blood.

It is a transparent liquid.

At first, Wei Shimu thought the liquid was something good, like a spiritual spring. But after several tests, he discovered that it was a colorless and odorless poison.

This also made Wei Shimu ecstatic.

Because this poison is fatal upon first use and cannot be detected in advance, every time you use it, you just need to cut your finger with the Jade Seal.

The "blood" that flows out will automatically turn into venom. When the bleeding stops, the venom disappears as well, making it impossible to trace its source.

There is no solution after being poisoned, it is simply a weapon for palace fighting and assassination.

In the plot, the second princess who had become emperor died from this poison, and all the ministers who opposed him becoming the male emperor were killed by this poison.

However, the entire Duke's Mansion, including the original owner, did not know the function of this thing during his lifetime. It was only after the original owner's death that his soul followed Wei Shimu and discovered this secret.

Nan Xi felt that Emperor Gaozu's promise not to take away the Jinyang lineage's military power might have been due to his concern for this item. It was just that for some reason the previous King of Jinyang hadn't passed this secret on.

Anyway, the Quick Travel Bureau didn't ask Nan Xi to take back this item, so she threw the jade seal into her own space.

No matter what, this thing can't be left in the male protagonist's hands again.

That's why when she first came here and received the memories, she insisted on getting this thing back.

At night, Nan Xi changed into a nightgown in the space, teleported through several spaces, and arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture government office in the capital. With the help of Mao Tuanzi, she found the house where the household registration was managed.

The layout here is very unique.

The two rooms, the inner and outer rooms, were independent and unconnected. The outer room was now dark, but countless palace guards were lying in ambush.

Inside, a room was brightly lit by candles. However, the candlelight was high up in the air, and there was a small mechanism on the ceiling, so the lamp oil must have been added from outside.

In the middle of the house stood a short, sturdy fruit tree, densely packed with small, orange-red fruits. Its branches stretched so long that they drooped to the ground, unable to bear the weight.

So the ground was filled with intertwined branches and orange fruits.

[This is the fruit tree that bears fruit, host]

Mao Tuanzi took the initiative to popularize science:

The fruits on this tree are all unripe. Eating them will prevent you from getting pregnant. The ripe fruits are all under this room.

"Yeah," Nan Xi agreed, meaning she understood.

Her divine sense had naturally detected that beneath the room filled with guards (let's call it the safe room) was a basement filled with ripe, fallen fruit from the tree.

The safe room had a small window, about the size of a fist, facing downwards. A huge bell was fastened to the window, and this bell was also a mechanism.

The people in the safe room just need to press the bell, and with a loud crisp sound, a fertilization fruit will be teleported out from the basement.

Don’t mention it, this design is quite interesting, it is both convenient and anti-theft. Anyone who wants to enter the basement or the orchard room has no door (really no door)

And with the bell as a reminder, it is unlikely to take away a fertility fruit silently.

Of course, Nan Xi is not included here.

Nan Xi teleported into the fruit tree room without hesitation, stretched out her hand, broke off a small branch and threw it into her own cultivation space.

She didn't know if it was an illusion. When she broke the branch, the fruit tree seemed to flinch, just like a person afraid of pain. Nan Xi didn't care for a moment.

He just casually took two fertility fruits from the basement and went back home to study.

The next morning, Nan Xi, oh no, from today on she was already Lu Li Luo.

After Lu Liluo finished breakfast, he went to the courtyard where the old Duke was to pay his respects.

"You little bastard, I heard that you agreed to the Wei family kid's cancellation of the engagement?"

The old Duke, dressed in the Duke's uniform, spoke angrily.

She was only forty-three, but she looked quite old and haggard, her long black hair already half gray. It was all due to worrying.

It is said that women who worry too much tend to age quickly, and this is also true in a world where women are dominant.

Her husband, Lu Liluo's father, died early, leaving her with only this legitimate daughter. Lu Liluo is always acting out of control. How can she not be anxious and angry?

But in fact, this is all superficial.

What really worried her was, of course, the fate of the 30 Jinyang troops.

As for Lu Liluo's dandy ways and lack of dedication, she never truly blamed her. This was simply because she knew very well that Zheng Jun had been forced to personally raise the original owner into a dandy character in order to avoid the royal family's fear.

As for breaking off the engagement - she actually never had a good opinion of that kid from the Wei family.

Not only is he hypocritical, but he also seems to be very cunning.

But because it was a marriage arranged when Zhengjun was still alive, she turned a blind eye. The reason she was angry now was partly for show.

The other thing was that she was angry that Lu Liluo didn't even send someone to tell her afterwards.

Do you still take her as your mother seriously?

"Hey, it's just a breakup, no big deal. Besides, there are plenty of fish in the sea! Is this little thing worth getting angry about?"

Lu Liluo sat down on the chair next to the Duke, picked up the tea the Duke was drinking, took a sip, and then spat it out.

"Ah, bah, bah!"

"Mother, is our Duke's Mansion short of money, or has it lost its source of income? What are you drinking? It's swill, swill!"
