In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

Chapter 157: In fact, Jin State is very rich, she has always misunderstood

"Miss Xia! Could you please bring one of these for me too?"

When Guard Yang heard that he could make a phone call, he wanted it even more and looked at Xia Wanwan with a pitiful look.

"Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing. I can give you silver. Oh, and here's this electric fan, can you sell me one too?"

Guard Zheng: "..."

This guy is shameless and wants everything.

He already has a power bank, and now he wants a mobile phone and an electric fan.

Guard Zheng thought about what he had, so he mustered up his courage and said shamelessly, "Miss Xia! I... I also want a cell phone and an electric fan, and... a power bank that glows."

Prince Jin held his forehead with his hand: "......?"

How could he have two such useless guards?

"Don't mind Miss Xia, they are just curious. If it's inconvenient for you, forget it."

Prince Jin had a cold face and glared at the two guards unhappily.

Guards Yang and Zheng felt a chill down their spines when they were glared at by him. Their necks shrank, and they subconsciously pursed their lips and took a step back.

Xia Wanwan smiled and said happily, "It's okay. I'll buy some cell phones and sell them in Jin State later. I'll give each of you one, but they're a bit expensive. In our country, the cheapest one costs over 3,000 yuan. If you want a high-performance one with many functions, it'll generally cost over 10,000 Chinese Yuan, which is worth several grams of gold. And here we have 1,500 Chinese Yuan per gram of gold. The people of Jin State have been at war for years, so the economy is definitely not efficient. I can only bring some of the cheapest ones here first."

"Thank you, Miss Xia."

When Guards Yang and Zheng saw that she agreed to help them buy things, they couldn't close their smiles. They quickly bent down, bowed, and said thank you with gratitude.

After hearing the price, the King of Jin thought it was okay and said with a smile, "Miss Xia, do you have any misunderstandings about Jin? Although Jin has been at war for more than ten years, its gold reserves are inexhaustible.

The reason people can't use their gold these days is because of food shortages, not because they can't afford it. Plus, the seven states surrounding Jin are besieging us, cutting off our economic ties with the other states, so we've been stuck in a state of internal friction.

Now we are facing a shortage of resources and manpower, not a shortage of the economy. The price of rice once rose to the point where one gram of rice was worth one pound of gold. When His Majesty learned of this, he decisively executed those merchants who had arbitrarily raised prices, and only then did prices return to normal.

But no matter whether the price is high or low, because there is no food, even if people have money, they can't buy it. In fact, there are many wealthy people in the capital, so Miss Xia doesn't have to worry about not being able to sell it. "

"what?"

Xia Wanwan had always thought that the State of Jin was extremely poor, and she exclaimed in shock.

After hearing what the King of Jin said, she realized that it was not that the State of Jin was short of money, but that it had nothing to consume.

"If Jin is so rich, why were we so poor back on the other side of the mountain, unable to afford even a pound of meat all year round?"

Xia Wanwan asked doubtfully.

If Jin was really that rich, then what was going on on the other side of the mountain?

The King of Jin explained, "The reason the other side of the mountain is so poor is because it's too high and too steep, making it impossible for people to cross. It takes hundreds of kilometers to get there. And I heard your county is already very poor, with some places even living in isolation. Coupled with the numerous mountains, it's difficult to develop, which is why that area has always been so poor."

"I see. It's just like China. There are developed imperial capitals and magic cities, as well as coastal towns, but the mountainous areas are never as wealthy as the coastal areas and developed cities. This is the same principle."

Xia Wanwan nodded thoughtfully.

In this case, the future development of the two countries will be just around the corner.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Jin, the President must be busy right now, he didn't answer the phone."

When Xia Wanwan saw that no one answered the call, she knew that Di Siyan was busy again, so she put away her phone.

"No problem. When your king is free, you can talk to him about this matter. I will go back and make the preparations first."

After saying this, Prince Jin stood up and prepared to return to the palace with his two guards.

"Prepare? Prepare for what?"

Xia Wanwan blinked, looking confused.

I haven't discussed this with the President yet. What are you preparing?

Prince Jin smiled softly, "Aren't you going to buy a cell phone? I'll go back and prepare some gold and silver jewelry, and then we'll go together to buy them."

Xia Wanwan: “……?”

"No, Your Majesty, don't worry~"

Xia Wanwan said helplessly as she looked at Prince Jin's leaving back.

"Goodbye, Miss Xia."

When Guards Yang and Zheng saw their prince leave, they turned around and bowed to Xia Wanwan, then quickly stood up and followed their master.

"Goodbye."

Xia Wanwan raised her hand and her eyes twitched slightly.

"Sister! I heard that when you came back, His Royal Highness Prince Jin saw you. Are you okay? Did Prince Jin do anything to you?"

After Xia Qingqing finished teaching the children, she was just about to take a walk nearby to exercise when she heard the villagers talking about her sister coming back and being seen by King Jin.

So I hurried over to inquire about the situation.

Xia Wanwan shook her head and took out a bag of lollipops from her space space. "I'm fine. Prince Jin is a very kind person. Here are some lollipops. Give one to each child later. Consider it a reward for their hard work."

"Okay lady."

Xia Qingqing took the lollipop, opened it happily, and ate one herself.

"You, you're already a grown-up, and you still like to eat lollipops."

Xia Wanwan looked at her sister who was in her twenties, eating a lollipop and smiling like a child, and shook her head lovingly.

"As long as I'm not married, I'll always be a child."

Xia Qingqing narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Sister Wanwan! The mushrooms we picked today have all been brought back. Hurry up and take them to the immortal."

When Li Dongmei heard that Xia Wanwan had returned, she got off the hot air balloon and ran to find her happily without even drinking a sip of water.

"Dongmei! Come, have a lollipop."

Xia Qingqing took out a lollipop from the candy bag and handed it to Li Dongmei.

"Thank you, Sister Qing!"

Li Dongmei took it and said thank you happily.

After Xia Wanwan went over to put the mushrooms away, she saw Chen Dayong circling around her. She tilted her head to look at him and asked, "Brother Chen! Do you have anything to say to me?"

Seeing her asking, Chen Dayong finally felt comfortable asking, "Madam! I want to know how the battle is going on at the border. Are the soldiers having enough to eat? And what about the people in the north, how are they doing now?"

Although he had retreated from the battlefield, he was still concerned about the situation on the northern border.
