The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Chapter 538: Coveting the Island Nation’s Silver Mine

Although the little girl has delicate features, her skin is a little tanned.

Apart from the pleasing dash of bravery between her eyebrows, she is not really a great beauty.

In terms of appearance alone, she is not even as good as Caiyin who is beside the prince.

After thinking about it, Manager Feng threw the idea out of his mind.

It is possible that His Highness is just grateful to the little girl for saving his life.

By the way, I don’t know if this little girl still has the life-saving pills in her hand.

No one would ever have too much of that life-saving thing.

But the prince had ordered that they were not allowed to disturb the little girl, so he could not ask this question.

In fact, it’s not just him. Doctor Zhang also wants to ask this little girl.

Unfortunately, the prince had already given the order!

Lu Qingqing had no idea what was going on in Steward Feng's mind, and the two of them soon arrived at Prince Huai's courtyard.

As usual, I had to pass through layers of guards before entering the house.

In the room, Zhu Youhua was leaning on the couch like a boneless person.

Seeing her come in, he hurriedly asked her to sit on the couch.

Manager Feng tactfully withdrew and closed the door. Lu Qingqing also sat down on the couch.

This soft couch is different from the ones Lu Qingqing has seen before. Instead, it has some resemblance to a modern sofa.

I think it was designed by this fellow villager.

Seeing her sit down, Zhu Youhua pointed to the iced watermelon juice on the table.

"Here, watermelon tea has just come out. Paired with some ice, it's just as good as modern milk tea. Try it."

Lu Qingqing picked up the glass of watermelon juice and saw that the glass already had a straw, which was a very nice design.

A sip of watermelon juice is so cool and sweet!

Seeing that she liked it, Zhu Youhua also picked up his cup and took a big sip.

Over the watermelon juice, Zhu Youhua asked:

"Qingqing, if you like, I'll ask the kitchen to make you a cup every day.

In addition to watermelon juice, there are many other fruits that can be used to make fruit tea.

Otherwise, I will give you the house next to the palace, and you can be my neighbor from now on!"

Lu Qingqing swallowed the watermelon juice in her mouth and shook her head.

“My house in Baoshan Town has just been completed, and the furniture is still coming in, waiting for me to oversee the decoration.

Besides, I have become accustomed to the life in the village where people work from sunrise to sunset.

Your house is so nice, I can’t get used to living in it!

Otherwise, I'll reserve a room for you in my house.

If you have time and pass by there, come to my place and experience the farm life."

When Zhu Youhua heard that she was unwilling to stay, he was a little disappointed, but it was also within his expectations.

When he heard that she was willing to leave a room for him, he said happily:

"Okay, then you have to keep it for me!"

As they talked, the two began to chat about the Japanese pirates along the coast.

Today, the domestic situation in the island nation is chaotic and the country is in turmoil.

As the two were chatting, they suddenly realized something.

They looked at each other, saw excitement in each other's eyes, and said in unison:

"The silver mines of the island nation!"

I have to say, this time the two of them thought of the same thing!

This island country is famous for its many silver mines.

Now that they are in internal chaos, can we take advantage of the opportunity to make some money?

Think about the evil deeds committed by those beasts in the island countries in later generations. Even if their silver mines were emptied, they deserved it!

Zhu Youhua immediately called Liu Jiaqi and asked him to investigate the current situation within the island country.

After Liu Jiaqi left, the two continued chatting.

Lu Qingqing thought about the vast silver mines and said excitedly:

"If you ever really want to attack the island nation, be sure to call me along. I'll go along and help!"

If she went there, she would directly take over all the silver mines and make sure not a single cent would be left for those beasts.

Zhu Youhua agreed immediately, and said excitedly:

“Studying modern history used to be really frustrating.

But it has become history, and we have no way to deal with it.

Now that we have the chance, we must make good use of it.

No matter what, we must beat those guys who are worse than animals until they can never get up again!

Of course, if there is a chance, it would be best to directly exterminate the clan!"

Lu Qingqing nodded wildly. In the thousands of years of history of the Flower-Growing Family, that period was the most tragic.

Now that there is an opportunity, I certainly can’t miss it.

There is a saying that she thinks is very true: she would rather bear the infamy of her life than let her descendants enjoy the happiness.

This is called committing sins in the present, but benefiting future generations!

Of course, there is no rush for this matter now, we need to collect intelligence first.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!

The two continued to chat and talked about the current situation in the country.

Lu Qingqing heard that King Huai wanted to unify the world, but he felt that the time was not right.

Store up food, build high walls, and slowly become king!

The nine-word mantra that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty used to achieve great things is still very applicable in today's situation.

Of course, Zhu Youhua is now also practicing these nine words.

Lu Qingqing agreed with this.

Prince Qi and Prince Jing are the most obvious examples.

Because they emerged too early, the imperial court mobilized the entire country to suppress them.

Now, the imperial army has put down the rebellions in both places.

The families of Prince Qi and Prince Jing were all taken to Shuntian Prefecture to await execution.

The people in the two places also suffered, some died and some fled.

Coupled with rampant natural disasters, only one in ten people in the two places are alive now.

However, in addition to guarding against the imperial court, King Huai now also needs to be extra vigilant against the barbarians in the north.

They are now cooperating with merchants in the north and developing rapidly.

Even some of the Japanese pirates in the coastal areas today have connections with that place.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Youhua focused on attacking the Japanese pirates!

After all, even if we can't defeat the ones in the north, we can still defeat the ones at home!

Speaking of barbarians, Lu Qingqing really didn't have a good impression of them.

The reason why she fled south was because of the infamous Ten Days of Yangzhou!

If the barbarians really entered the pass and proclaimed themselves emperor, I really don’t know how many casualties would be suffered by the people of this land.

Moreover, the reason why China lagged so far behind the West in later generations was also due to the inaction of this dynasty.

Brutal suppression internally and compensation of money and land externally!

She has arrived in this era ahead of time and met a fellow countryman like King Huai.

If possible, she would like to contribute to this.

Thinking of this, she looked at Zhu Youhua in front of her and said seriously:

“I’m not very good at other things, but after coming to this dynasty, I learned archery.

If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know!

I can also make my ancestral pills in large quantities for you.

The effect of this medicine on the battlefield should be quite good!"

Seeing that she was serious, Zhu Youhua also sat up straight and replied seriously:

"Qingqing, I, Zhu Youhua, already owe you a life.

Now that you are helping me like this, if I succeed, you will definitely have a place in the imperial court in the future!"

Lu Qingqing saw his seriousness, but shook her head and said:

“No need, I’m just an ordinary person and I know nothing about court affairs.

It is enough for me to be able to help you and the people of this era."
