Chapter 1135 Australian Lobster
Because Wang Ben died suddenly, the joy of successfully researching the loom and textile machine also disappeared. Chen Xu returned to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion silently, but found that Shui Qingrou was also in the mansion.
"Hey, why did my wife come into the city?" Chen Xu asked in surprise after getting off the car, holding Shui Qingrou's hand.
"Today, my husband has not returned home in Shen Shizhong, so everyone is worried, so I went to the city to visit him. When I learned that Mr. Tongwu had passed away, I guessed that my husband must be still busy in the government office..." Shui Qingrou Fuli said softly.
"Oh, I didn't expect that my wife's words would come true that day. The Marquis of Tongwu was really gone. Let's go, it's cold outside, go into the house to talk!" Chen Xu sighed with a strange look on his face, and led Shui Qingrou to the backyard.
"Qingrou didn't expect that day, just seeing that Tongwu Hou had a bad mood, he felt something. The two generals of the Ding Kingdom passed away one after another, and the emperor must be very sad!"
"Of course, I just got the news. The emperor had a headache and handed over the task of arranging the funeral of Tongwu Hou to me. After my wife returned tomorrow, she arranged a few familiar maids and servants to enter the city. I may not be able to go back to the villa in the past few days. I especially want to remind the housekeeper to take good care of Wanniang and Shiman. Both of them are about to give birth, and I am not at ease..."
"Don't worry, husband, I will arrange everything. By the way, husband, a pilgrim who came from the East China Sea brought a letter from his senior brother in the afternoon, saying that they would come back from Yingzhou after the wind in the southeast rose!"
"Really? Let me see the letter..." Chen Xu was very surprised and took a letter from Shui Qingrou while walking.
The letters are written very sloppy, and they seem to be drawn casually with a wooden stick. The ink marks are like graffiti of a child aged seven or eight. They have the usual unrestrained and lazy style of Yu Wuya, like a chicken crawling with a crawling claw.
Although the word is wild and unruly, Chen Xu still recognizes it. The general idea is that they have conquered several indigenous tribes in Yingzhou. After spared no effort to search, they finally found Gongsun Beiyan and Xiang Jing. The process of finding was over and over again. However, the subsequent information made Chen Xu very happy, because they not only drove the indigenous people to dig out a large amount of sulfur from the volcano on the island, but also found a silver mine. Now, with the help of a group of Motu and alchemists,
A large amount of mining and silver is estimated to bring back at least 20,000 kilograms of silver and about 30,000 kilograms of sulfur when returning to Langya after spring. Finally, it was mentioned that there are already seven or eight fleets of ships going to Yingzhou to explore treasures. People from Central Plains can be seen everywhere on many islands in Yingzhou. Finally, it was mentioned that Gongsun Beiyan established the Wei Kingdom on one of the islands. His subordinates had conquered and won over tens of thousands of Yingzhou native tribes, and even asked some Motus and alchemists who followed Huangshi Gong to serve as officials to form the court...
"Tsk tsk! Hard work pays off..." Chen Xu smacked his lips with great emotion after sitting by the stove.
"Husband, please have tea! Are you talking about Sister Beiyan?" Shui Qingrou personally brewed a pot of hot tea, held a cup for Chen Xu, and then sat down next to him and asked.
"Of course it was her. I wonder what she and Xiang Jing experienced after they were separated from the island? How did they drift to Yingzhou? Moreover, the vast East China Sea and the wildness of Yingzhou were so wild that Gai Nie was found. It has to be said that it was a miracle. Gai Nie was really infatuated and even helped her rule the natives in Yingzhou to establish the Wei Kingdom..." Chen Xu was deeply moved, and while drinking tea, he read the letter again.
"These senior brothers didn't say anything in the letter. When the senior brother and Zijin came back and asked, you will know that the husband originally wrote a song: People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has its phases and waxing, and this matter is difficult to be complete. I hope people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away. Now Sister Beiyan and Gai Nie have finally been together after hardships, and lovers finally get married. I am very happy for them!" A mist appeared in Shui's gentle and bright eyes, and his eyes were slightly red.
"That's true, but it may not be as simple as the wife thought. Gongsun Beiyan and a group of alchemists and momen wandered in the sea for more than a year, and finally landed on the isolated island of Yingzhou. No one knew what happened during this period. Besides, Gongsun Beiyan is a arrogant and cowardly person, and although Gai Nie is a man of martial arts, he is rigid in mind. He always wants to repay the life of the hot cake. In my opinion, these two people will never be together, because these two are just a pair of weirdos..." Chen Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"My husband, is it that Sister Beiyan may have another new love after going to Yingzhou?" Shui Qingrou asked in surprise with tears in her face.
"In my opinion, this is inevitable!" Chen Xu nodded, put down the teacup and hugged Shui gently in his arms and explained: "Although you met Gongsun Beiyan since childhood and were like sisters, you and her are actually people from different worlds..."
"Gongsun Beiyan was born in the most prominent noble of the Great Wei Dynasty. She usually treats civilians as dirt, and she is surrounded by Luotuo princes and nobles who are determined to restore the Great Wei and even the six kingdoms. How can she win over those noble princes and grandchildren? What can she rely on? Apart from the false title of the Princess of Wei, what else can she be worthy of investment and depend on? Moreover, you should have heard of the decay of the noble private life. Not only the six kingdoms, but also the same is true for the Qin Dynasty. Such a woman dreams of a princess who enjoys glory and wealth for her, and naturally she can give up anything or cater to those who give advice for her."
"Although Gai Nie was born noble and was a descendant of the Jin royal family, the Jin State has been divided and destroyed for almost two hundred years. His current identity is just a mere ranger. Apart from his swordsmanship, there is nothing that can make people admire him. I wanted to win over him at the beginning, but now..."
Chen Xu shrugged and expressed his disdain, "Gongsun Beiyan, a young and beautiful woman who can do nothing, can live to Yingzhou and conquer a group of indigenous people. The group of Motu and the alchemist must have played a great role. Why can she, Gongsun Beiyan, do these things? Those Motu and alchemist are all people with extraordinary abilities. Why should they obey the command of a woman like Gongsun Beiyan with big breasts and brainlessness..."
"Husband, don't bury Sister Beiyan too much. In fact, she is very smart. It's not what your husband usually sees?" Shui Qingrou said softly.
"Even if she is very smart, Gongsun Beiyan was able to conquer the natives and establish the Wei Kingdom in Yingzhou without the help of her acquaintances. I have to say that she is indeed outstanding. Not to mention what the Wei Kingdom will be in the future, she finally achieved her dream status through her own efforts. But in this case, do you think she still needs Gai Nie's help? This is completely different from the situation when you were detained by Huangshi Gong on an overseas deserted island. She needs to get mercy and help by expressing her weakness. At that time, only Gai Nie could help her..."
After listening to it, Shui Qingrou fell into extreme confusion, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have lost focus.
"Is it really that difficult for lovers to get married after all?" Shui Qingrou turned around and hugged Chen Xu's neck tightly, tears flowing down her eyes.
"Don't cry, don't cry, you are not from the same world as her, and your ideas are naturally different, so don't feel her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness with your own mood. Now Gongsun Beiyan's wish to restore the Wei Kingdom has come true. She should live a good life, and you should be happy for her." Chen Xu gently stroked Shui Qinglu's soft hair and comforted her softly.
"Husband, you said you wanted to incorporate Yingzhou into the Qin Dynasty. What will happen to Sister Beiyan's Wei State in the future? Will you kill her? Or will the emperor arrange for someone to kill her after he knows?" Shui Qingrou sobbed.
"Don't worry, I won't kill her, nor will I tell the emperor about this. Yingzhou's materials are barren, coal and iron are in short supply, and volcanic earthquakes are frequent, and sulfur, gold and silver are abundant. Once the news spreads that someone has brought back a large number of valuable minerals from Yingzhou, many wealthy merchants and explorers who dream of making a fortune will flock to Yingzhou. Faced with these powerful boats and plunderers in the Central Plains, whether Gongsun Beiyan can defend his Wei Kingdom is a big problem. She has no strong agricultural and industrial foundation. If she wants to compete with the Central Plains, she is completely a mantis arm to drive. No one can stop the trend of history. There is only one consequence, that is death..."
"So, there is no need for the emperor and me to take action. Gongsun Beiyan has only two ways to survive in the future. One is to naturalize the Qin Dynasty and cooperate with many explorers, give up the unrealistic fantasy of Princess Wei, and from then on become a big businessman in Yingzhou. The other is to return to the Central Plains to hide his identity and be an ordinary citizen. If she really wants, I think it can help her because of your relationship with her!"
"It turns out that my husband has seen it thoroughly, but Qingrou thought it was too simple!" Shui Qingrou leaned on Chen Xu's shoulder and nodded gently.
"Haha, in fact, Yingzhou is just a small place. All the messy islands are not as big as the Donghai County in the Central Plains. It is not worth worrying about it. When Brother Yu comes back this time, I asked him to lead the fleet to continue sailing to the South China Sea. Now the Lingnan areas have been conquered, and it is very convenient to stop and replenish supplies along the coast. There are more islands outside the South China Sea that are rich in various strange things, especially those delicious tropical fruits, coconuts, polos, lychees... It's the one who rides the red dust. No one knows that it is the delicious fruit from lychees, as well as mangos, mangos, bananas, hissings~durians... Well, forget it..."
Chen Xu took a sip of saliva and continued, "At that time, we will find a beautiful beach on Hainan Island and build a house near the sea. Flours are warm and blooming, and fruits are fragrant all year round. Every day, I fall asleep by listening to the tides, put a row of sun-shading umbrellas on the beach. Everyone is wearing shorts and short skirts, swimming in the blue and blue sea, playing on the soft beach, and eating oyster-grilled squid when they are tired. If they can go to Australia, they can also eat Australian lobsters that are several feet long. Hiss~his~..." Chen Xu wiped his mouth and hurriedly stopped, otherwise his saliva would drip onto the soft dress.
"My husband, don't say it anymore, Qingrou can't help but want to eat it!" Shui Qingrou's cheeks blushed, and under the temptation of Chen Xu's delicious food, she threw her previous sorrow behind her head.
"It's not that I want to say, but the world is too big. Now we are only exploring a mere corner. Gongsun Beiyan and others don't know the right time and place. They think that only Yingzhou can live overseas. In fact, outside the South China Sea or the West is the best place for her to establish the Great Wei. In those places, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. No one can care about it. If she wants, I can even write a letter to the emperor to support her!"
"Really!" Shui Qingrou sat up in surprise.
"Look at you, Gongsun Beiyan treated you like this, and kidnapped you at the wedding. If I hadn't been so powerful that my wife hadn't found her now, well, I know that since you were a child, she was the only best friend who could talk to her since childhood. You can't bear to see her fall into a miserable and helpless situation. At that time, you can ask Brother Yu to tell her that she can cooperate in the development and conquering Yingzhou natives. When the time is right, I will arrange someone to send her to Australia..."
"I'm sorry, husband~" Shui Qingrou lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
"You and I don't need to say sorry. Although I hate her style of behavior, I actually admire her very much. A weak woman who can stick to this point for the illusory dream of a princess, which makes most men feel ashamed. Look at the Six Kingdoms nobleman, the only one who can stick to this day and still holds the flag of the Six Kingdoms again. I heard that Mr. Wei is still in Xianyang. When will I take time to visit her and see who the prince who is highly expected by Gongsun Beiyan and is eager to help him restore the country!" Chen Xu hugged Shui Lu in his arms and comforted him.
"Thank you, my husband. Qingrou is indeed worried about Sister Beiyan. She actually lived a harder life than me, but she looked glamorous. By the way, husband, you only said that there were four continents before, why did one more Australia suddenly appear?" Shui Qingrou was surprised and had many doubts in her eyes.
"Australia does not belong to the four continents. I guess it is one of the two sacred mountains of Daiyu and Yuanjiao in ancient times. In fact, it was a flood that broke out in ancient times and washed away from the Pangu continent. Australia is an isolated island, but its area is wider than the territory of our Great Qin. At present, there should be some natives similar to Yingzhou, but they are very primitive and barbaric. Civilization should still be in the clan tribal period of my China thousands of years ago. Gongsun Beiyan went there to establish the country and brought the advanced farming and animal husbandry technology of our Central Plains. I think it will soon gain a foothold and develop. Now that she has the technology to build large sailing ships, she can operate well through merchant ships and exchanges between Western countries and the Great Qin, and will also strengthen the integration and exchange between the East and the West. This is also very beneficial for spreading my Chinese culture..."
Chen Xu roughly explained his thoughts and finally said with a smile: "Australia is actually a very magical place. There are many strange animals and plants on it, especially animals. Many wild animals have a small bag on them. After giving birth to a cub, they will put it in their parenting bags. It is like we hang a cloth bag on our chest and abdomen. It is very magical and has a large variety. There are kangaroos that are stronger and taller than humans. They jump and walk with two long legs, support the ground with thick tails, are good at fighting and boxing, can fight like humans, and there are thyros, wombats, platypus, raccoons, etc. It is an extremely mysterious and magical continent. As long as Gongsun Beiyan is not stupid, she will definitely take advantage of Australia's unique geographical advantages and properties to develop well. At that time, whether she establishes the Wei Kingdom or is willing to submit to the Qin Dynasty, it is enough to ensure her descendants' glory and wealth!"
"You can write a letter to tell her that she will choose for herself. Yingzhou is very close to the Qin Dynasty and will inevitably become the first place to expand and plunder overseas. Although the six kings and nobles left behind, there are many ambitions. Once you learn that someone has established a Wei State in Yingzhou, someone will inevitably go to grab the territory. At that time, a small Yingzhou emerges, many people become kings and fight with each other, and they will inevitably be in chaos. But the world is so big, why bother staying in such a small place to dominate the king? Outside the South China Sea, the West, that is where they should show their skills!"
"My husband is far-sighted and hopes that Sister Beiyan will understand then. If she is really willing to go to Australia, we can still see those magical kangaroos, and there is a parenting bag on her chest. What does that look like..." Shui Qingrou's beautiful cheeks were full of yearning and confusion.
